"You want a real answer?! Its pale sad boys with star metaphors attached falling in love with a boy who's literally the sun! Look it up!"

Propaganda under the readmore

Helios Black :

"Canonically intersex and written by an intersex author. Teenage boy trapped and abused in his father's house, makes friends with the teenage boy who sneaks in to replace expensive art pieces with forgeries, and then they fall in love."

Did you think it would mean nothing to feel your smile before it hits our face? Or know that it twists your heart to see certain run-down things around here? What it would mean to feel you crying, lonely, mad as a hornet, happy so big it feels like the sun is rising, all day every day until I look for it? Long for it? How could anyone feel that and not eventually get a little sweet on you is a mystery me.

Happy (Upcoming) Intersex Awareness Day 2025!

Intersex Awareness Day is October 26th, and we’re celebrating as we do with books that have intersex rep! All of these titles either have intersex MCs, or have intersex secondary characters but are also by intersex authors.  Middle Grade Fiction Cattywampus by Ash Van Otterloo In the town of Howler’s Hollow, conjuring magic is strictly off-limits. Only nothing makes Delpha McGill’s skin crawl…

Happy (Upcoming) Intersex Awareness Day 2025!

it's always exciting when you find an author that makes it worth getting back into reading

the corruption of hollis brown was perfection for me in a way i cannot yet put into words. it was raw with emotion and an utterly delightful read

icarus was like waking up in the arms of your lover after a long nap... soft and oh so warm

the wicker king is up next and honestly i can see myself purchasing any additional books this author puts out

[captainjackscoat]

someone please talk to me about Icarus by K Ancrum because I think about that book at least once a day and certain scenes and lines from it altered my function in about five different ways
