Nightrunners!
anyway I really cannot recommend more highly the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling. truly has everything you (read: I) could possibly want in a fantasy series. both an incredibly compelling overarching save-the-world story arc and a slow burn romance subplot that manages to not overshadow the main plot while also hitting almost every note to make me specifically go insane.
we got divine right of QUEENS specifically. women are allowed to be warriors and unlike sooo many fantasy settings there is actually an appreciable number of women in combat roles and not just a few outliers. there’s political intrigue and conspiracy. there’s a queer awakening. there’s prophecy. trauma. one of the leads has convinced himself that the other could never possibly want to be with him and meanwhile the other guy is in the next room having a crisis of sexuality. they are sharing one (1) tender moment and then getting dragged back into the main plot before they can process it. they are being mistaken for a couple before they actually get together. there are ancient artifacts that are trying to kill everyone who touches them. they are calling each other pet names by ACCIDENT. there is an EVIL NECROMANCER. and there is ONLY ONE BED.

When was the last time I made a Skaven post? Have some nightrunners.
I finished the Nightrunner series about three or four months ago and I haven’t been the same since. My heart aches for those books, I yearn to be lost in the realm of nightrunning and watchers again. And it kills me that fans of these books are so few in number. I have never read a more compelling, all consuming fantasy story in my life. I miss Seregil, Alec, and the others like close personal friends. I try to dull the ache by reading other works of Flewelling’s but it isn’t the same, the other books are good don’t get me wrong, but Nightrunner series is just too dear to me. Yes I will be rereading the series soon. Anyways, if you love fantasy and queer media, give these books a perusing.
