Iago: “I lay with Cassio lately”- *Proceeds to describe a totally fake but DETAILED fantasy of Cassio. dry-humping and making out with him

Othello: *never questions any of this* “This is clear proof they have done the deed! Cassio must die!”

Audience: “Hold on, Iago, do you desperately want to screw Cassio? Seems like you put a lot of time and detail into that little erotic fantasy. Can we talk about that before we get into the wife-beating?

There is nothing better than a cheese tour through time and space except. . .

It's cover reveal day for @ellebeaumontbooks & I's first co-author project Benvolio & Mercutio Turn Back time!

BLURB:

Verona has 99 problems—including a time machine.

All Benvolio has ever desired is a peaceful life alongside his spirited—albeit quarrelsome—roommate, Mercutio. But as the story goes, the course of true love never did run smooth, and when tensions between the Montagues and the Capulets reach a boiling point, Benvolio and Mercutio are dragged into the mess Romeo makes of all their lives.

Then an older version of Benvolio crashes into their lives, offering the opportunity to change fate, Mercutio does as he always does—seizes the chance. There's just one problem: no deal is without strings, and this one involves a deadly secret that Mercutio is determined to take to the grave.

What follows is a lively adventure through the ages, replete with love and heartache. Amidst the chaos, this inseparable duo will unravel the true depth of their friendship.

A riotous romp of a retelling of Romeo & Juliet. Side effects of reading may contain laughter, heartache, and a need for more. This light, sci-fi fantasy is the perfect shelf companion to The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian, Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall, and The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles.

Publication day: July 31, 2024

Genre: Adult Sci-fi Fantasy Romcom

Tropes: Friends to Lovers, time travel, retelling, and they were roommates, deal with the devil

We did a lesson on subtext in English today as we prepare to read Hamlet, and I could think about was how I'm just going to be analyzing the text for queer subtext
