"Sometimes She Lets Me Best Butch Femme Erotica" edited by Tristan Taormino

"Does the swagger of a sure-footed butch make you swoon? Do your knees go weak when you see a femme straighten her stockings? A duet between two sorts of women, butch/femme is a potent sexual dynamic. Tristan Taormino chose her favorite butch/femme stories from the Best Lesbian Erotica series, which has sold over 200,000 copies in the 16 years she was editor. And if you think you know what goes in in the bedroom between femmes and butches, these 22 shorts will delight you with erotic surprises. In Joy Parks's delicious 'Sweet Thing,' the new femme librarian in town shows a butch baker a new trick in bed. The stud in 'Tag!,' by D. Alexandria, finds her baby girl after a chase in the woods by scent alone. And the girl in a pleated skirt gets exactly what she wants from her Daddy in Peggy Munson's "The Rock Wall." Sometimes She Lets Me shows that it's all about attitude -- predicting who will wind up on top isn't easy in stories by S. Bear Bergman, Rosalind Christine Lloyd, Samiya A. Bashir, and many more."

"Girl Mans Up" by M.E. Girard

"All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she’s always been. So why does everyone have a problem with itThey

think the way she looks and acts means she’s trying to be a boy—that she should quit trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl, and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty.

But respect and loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents, disintegrating friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive Pen to see the truth—that in order to be who she truly wants to be, she’ll have to man up."

Book "Reverse Tomboy" by Auto Anon

"Naomi Soloveitchik has taken the first steps towards medical transition and with them, the womanhood she hopes to embody. However, she does not really understand what that means for her relationships, both to friends and lovers, but also to her own body. She wrestles with the more masculinized forms of womanhood she had admired and aspired to all her life, asking herself if it is possible for a trans woman to be that kind of woman. As she attempts to find her body and her body’s place in this new, exciting, and at points terrifying world she encounters a cast of characters both from her immediate past, who haunt her and leave her wondering what their roles served to do to her, and new ones who she must learn if she can trust enough to love.

In addition to the central story, also included are a small collection of poems and a brief essay on trans femme butch identity.

"Loverboy Butch" by Westley James

"Two estranged childhood best friends reunite over the course of a disastrous family holiday and begin pushing the boundaries of friendship in new and steamy directions.

Falling is what Dex does best, off of skateboards and in love. They enjoy the rush of adrenaline and the spine-tingling satisfaction it creates. They're not so good at staying in it.

Since the last time they saw any of their family, Dex has changed their name, their hair, their pronouns, and their postcode (several times over). Having spent the last two years avidly avoiding any reminders of their home and the life they left there, they are nervous to return. With so much different, they worry that there might not be a place for them in Portsmouth, and that they won't be able to make it up to the people they hurt.

Dean has been slowly plotting the downfall of her estranged childhood best friend for two years, ever since she helped them flee their disastrous would-be wedding. She is used to being the reliable one in the family, bringing in a steady income and supporting their families in Dex's absence. The last thing she expected was for them to show up for the joint holiday their families are planning.

Now, she is forced to spend her sun-soaked fortnight in close proximity to Dex Carpenter-Brown and their triumphant return. As everyone falls at their feet and forgives them for running off, she must play nice to avoid ruining everyone's trip. But as she learns their side of things and the pair make moves to repair their friendship, things take an unexpectedly intimate twist."

"Butch Coyolxauhqui" by Karleen Pendleton Jiménes

"This short film looks at queer imagery, fat-phobia, and reclamation through autobiographical narrative, black and white photography, and stop motion animation.

In Aztec mythology, the goddess Coyolxauhqui was severed into pieces by her brother, the god of war. This film recounts the lessons learned by a queer daughter from her round mother’s body, framed by the story of Coyolxauhqui. It opens with a bright gold and turquois rendering of the goddess breaking apart and trailing off the screen. It is quickly replaced by black and white photos of Pendleton Jiménez as a child beside her mother. She describes the comfort of snuggling into her mother’s big, soft body while recounting the hurtful comments about weight directed at this body. The daughter learns to take seriously her mother’s warning, 'not to ever say anything bad about a person’s body.' Through childhood stories and then erotic photos of herself as a butch lover, Pendleton Jiménez attempts to reconcile the ambivalence she experiences over her own body, where maleness and femaleness collide. Using stop-motion animation, she returns to Coyolxauhqui’s story and image, looking for a way to feel beautiful. Butch Coyolxauhqui was produced as part of an LGBTQ health centre program to create films about queer women’s bodies."

"Stud Bros" by S.J. Mitch

"Stud Bros follows Janice—known to most as J—a confident, masculine-presenting lesbian who built her empire from the ground up. As co-owner of a thriving business with her best friend Toni, J believes loyalty is everything.

She’s wrong.

While J is finally opening her heart again after surviving a toxic, soul-crushing relationship, someone close to her is quietly unraveling everything she’s worked for. Toni’s jealousy simmers beneath forced smiles and business meetings, turning friendship into rivalry—and success into sabotage.

Caught between new love and hidden betrayal, J must decide: protect her heart or protect her empire?

Stud Bros is a gripping sapphic drama about ambition, jealousy, chosen family, and the cost of trusting the wrong person. For readers who love messy emotions, complicated friendships, and powerful stud-led lesbian fiction, this story delivers tension, heat, and hard-earned resilience."
