mysaria crying over the fact that she doesn’t know why shes crying is so.. and rhaenyra trying to comfort her im going to fling myself into the SUN. ALSO. mysaria sleeping fully snuggled ontop of rhaenyra like NOWWW i need to know all their preferred sleeping positions esp since rhaenyra is a space heater

Happy to indulge…

-Rhaenyra is usually the big spoon but she has her moments where she’s feeling vulnerable and will allow side cuddles from Mysaria.

-Mysaria likes to listen to Rhaenyra’s heartbeat when she’s feeling anxious or overwhelmed, so she’ll sleep on Rhaenyra’s chest to tune out the noise in her head.

-If the two are feeling particularly affectionate, they will sleep face to face, sharing the same air. Usually, sometime during the night, Mysaria ends up nuzzling Rhaenyra’s neck because she likes the way Rhaenyra smells and Rhaenyra may bury her nose in Mysaria’s hair because she also likes the way Mysaria smells.

Over time, they find that they cannot sleep without the other present. (Because the gay forces are too strong)

Me: *Is aromantic*

Also me: *Is writing lines like this in my sapphic fantasy romance novel*:

“I always thought of you as made of sunlight. Whenever I walked into Saint Swithun’s, you were always the first thing I noticed,” she responded, “You can light up a room just by being in it.”

Every book I’ve ever written is just me going, ‘fine, I’ll do it myself!’ whenever I want to read a book with a very specific plot that doesn’t exist. And that’s probably how it will always be.

[alinacapellabooks]

Sometimes I feel weird about writing fantasy fiction about the Greek gods because I’m a Hellenic polytheist who worships them. But then I remember that Homer, Ovid, Virgil, and countless other writers whose works have likely been lost to time did the same thing, and they were fine, so I think I’m in the clear.

(Also I’ve been reading a translation of the Iliad and there’s a surprising amount of slapstick comedy between the gods in it. Ares, the god of war, mind you, gets hit with a spear and immediately runs crying to Zeus, his dad. And Zeus’s response amounts to, ‘Son, you are literally the god of war, you get hit once and you run crying to daddy? For fuck’s sake, I thought you’d be tougher than this’ before he orders for Ares to be healed.)

Or magical girls? Or both? Good, because my urban fantasy novel, Night Of The Blue Moon, has both of those things! Ariel is SeleneDev, a reclusive indie game developer by day, and Blue Moon, a magical girl chosen by Phoebe, the titan goddess of prophecy, by night. Her partner in fighting crime, Red Sun, gets her powers from Theia, the titan goddess of radiance, and unbeknownst to Ariel, Red Sun is Solana, the girl she’s been in love with for ages. Their mission? Stop a corrupt billionaire from bringing his son back from the dead. Also both main characters, Ariel and Solana, are canonically asexual, and there’s a lot of discussion about problems faced by asexuals in the world of dating. Goodreads link below!

NIGHT OF THE BLUE MOON IS ON SALE NOW!

Night Of The Blue Moon

Some people live double lives. Ariel Gianapoulou lives …

That's right folks, my sapphic urban fantasy novel about magical girls who get their powers from the Greek gods is on sale on Amazon now, and you can read the first few chapters for free! If you're in the market for an urban fantasy novel featuring a sun/moon ship, and a friends to lovers romance, be sure to grab a copy! Synopsis below:

Some people live double lives. Ariel Gianapoulou lives a triple life.

By day, she’s a meek, unassuming nobody who lives alone in a messy apartment. On the internet, she’s SeleneDev, the smash-hit indie game developer whose RPGs about magical girls have taken the world by storm. By night, she’s Blue Moon, a magical girl chosen by the titan Phoebe to retrieve Hades’s bracelet from Orpheus and Eurydice, supervillains who are killing people in the hopes of buying their son, Brooklyn, back from the dead. Aided by her partner, Red Sun, Ariel will stop at nothing to defeat the villainous duo. Ariel knows better than anyone that Brooklyn doesn’t deserve a second chance at life—Three years ago, he raped her at a party, and crushed her dreams of becoming a police officer.

There are a lot of people on Orpheus’s hit-list, and things get especially complicated when Ariel’s crush, Solana, turns out to be one of the people he wants dead. Will Ariel be able to stop Orpheus and Eurydice, win Solana’s heart, and keep her triple life secret?

Oh, and if that hasn’t sold you, here’s some other things about it that might appeal to you. My book features:

-An asexual protagonist, and a graysexual love interest. That’s right, we have a sapphic ace4ace romance! -Sun/Moon ship

-Friends to lovers

-Slow burn romance

-Adult magical girls dealing with adult problems

-An Easter egg for those of you who read my previous book, The Tengu And The Angel in chapter one! (BTW that one’s a gay friends to lovers romance featuring two troubled nerds falling in love, with vignettes inspired by Japanese mythology at the end of each chapter. You can find it on the pinned link in my profile!)
