features
So Many Queers. Our story begins with Femi, who in her infinite wisdom has two boyfriends who are also seeing each other. Our characters are mature, profoundly queer, and about to make some questionable life choices. Polyamory. Who needs a love triangle when you have two hands? Gorgeous Art. Each chapter we release has beautiful, full-color cover art by @rosieartsie. At Least One (1) Individual For Your Cat Carrier. You can take your pick, this story contains a bouquet of ladies, gentlemen, gentlethems, and others unrestricted by the bonds of the gender binary, many of them fit to be placed inside your proverbial cat carrier. Including but not limited to: + a man with so many lethal secrets it is frankly irresponsible of him to enter into intimate relationships + a tender-hearted knight-in-training who falls in love so easily it puts him in literal peril of his life + an anxious spymaster who responds not unlike a fainting goat when flirted with + a catman + an arguably more anxious aide who can’t stop attracting the attention of horrifyingly powerful people + Dreigas
