A Little Life, Hanya Yanagihara //  Dancing Bears, William H. Beard

divinity kink in less of a "fuck me in a nun habit" way and more of a "put me on my knees and rewrite my understanding of faith and show me what a loving god's hand feels like and give me mercy and wrath and splendor and leave your communion dripping from my lips and teach me how every part of my body was meant to worship you"

@cookinguptales, @jay-auris, @crack--attack

"disgusting smuts" i have written and which you can read:

i don't think i've mentioned yet that i write for @duckprintspress

i definitely haven't mentioned that i write nsfw, emotional, sappy smut that's secretly about my fandom ot3 but has been re-cast into original fiction.

so. if you want some very sappy gay smut from a nonbinary gay virgin you've come to the right place.

that didn't sell you? no worries, i'll be sharing some snippets soon that will make you😳😳😳

right, so about those snippets, i forgot about them :sweats: but! i will attempt to make up for my lack by giving you... (drumroll please) a whole story!

it's the first story in my series of mxmxm smut published with @duckprintspress, in which my protagonists, consisting of a god and his two demon king husbands, are unbearably in love and shamelessly horny, and that's pretty much the entire plot. welcome to the world of aren, mithros, and samael.

you can read it on ream (don't worry, you don't need to make an account to see it ❤️):

and if you enjoy it, you can find parts two and three at duck prints press!

The Story Reaper by The Story Reaper Podcast Crew

audio || original work || no ships, platonic or familial, f/f || general audiences || no major warnings apply || 00:32:42 || ongoing series

summary: In this anthology podcast, The Story Reaper, an otherworldly entity and their young apprentice visit individuals to acquire an untold story. This spooky yet family-friendly collection will take listeners all over the world as the duo listens to and collects the mysterious accounts of the strangers they seek out. This world is full of untold stories - frightful and profound, fantastical and honest: a mother’s brujería, an insatiable house, a cursed 90s reality game show, a cove housing ghosts of persecuted Indian girls, and a monstrous entity haunting a fishing town. These stories are waiting. And they must be collected.

Midnight in Middle Earth by Rascal Hartley / @crack--attack

fiction || tolkien - all media types, hobbit - all media types, lord of the rings - all media types || platonic or familial, m/m || bilbo/thorin, frodo/sam, legolas/gimli, aragorn/arwen || mature || creator choses not to use warnings, graphic depictions of violence || 375,048 (with the caveat that i am reading through the last two chapters again so +/- 20 words or so) || complete

summary: The stars are restless.

They twinkle in the night sky, shoving back and forth, trying to catch a glimpse. For all soft songs written of them, for all the kisses shared under them and childlike wonder directed at them, the stars care not for gentleness, nor kind words or deeds. No, when the stars crane their necks, it is to see things like this: a Hobbit, curled up on a path, sobbing, alone. He is covered in blood. It is not his own. He has a traveling companion, a tall wizard who slumbers. Even were the wizard not truly sleeping, Hobbits are such quiet creatures that he never would have noticed the state of his companion.

The stars watch as salty tears shed upon the ground, as dried blood is rewet; and perhaps that is something in itself, something a planet or a galaxy might call an omen, but for right now only the stars see as Bilbo Baggins, Hobbit of the Shire, mourns.

other tags: disabled characters handled lovingly, dances with canon, slight dubcon kissing, war violence, the process of grief

Pre-Orders Now Open for “Many Drops Make a Stream” by Adrian Harley!

Pre-orders for Adrian Harley’s debut sapphic fantasy novel Many Drops Make a Stream are now open!

A memory-stealing cult. The ever-watchful City of Eyes. Making small talk. Join Droplet as she faces all these horrors and more…

Vigilante shapeshifter Droplet has trained her entire life to take down those with more power than scruples, but she still makes mistakes. When a rescue mission goes wrong, a memory-stealing cult of blood mages escapes with kidnapped captives in tow. To save them, Droplet reluctantly teams up with the outgoing, tenacious Azera. Droplet knows better than to trust a human—she made that mistake once, and that person’s betrayal scattered her community across the known world—and she can tell Azera is hiding secrets behind her sunny smile. But if they can’t learn to work together, even Droplet’s own memories could be lost.

Many Drops Make a Stream, Adrian Harley’s debut novel, is the stand-alone first book in a series of related fantasy-mystery-heists featuring the shapeshifter Droplet and the friends and found family who work alongside her to fight the corrupt powers-that-be. Many Drops Make a Stream is rated general (adult) audiences and features shapeshifting shenanigans, a nascent f/f quarrelers-to-lovers pre-relationship, a wonderful extended cast of family and pseudo-family, necromancy and blood magic and spellwork (oh my!), and one (1) very angry goose.

“Well you’ve gone and fucked it up now, mate.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Fuckin' beg then, man, it's just ocean for miles.” Ed motions out to the waves, where there is no sign of any sort of ship, their small dinghy pulled far up on the sand. “I told you when the clouds look like seagulls you take fuckin' cover. Goddamn ocean mutinied me.”

Was. Was anyone gonna tell me I somehow wrote season 2.

tempted  to blaze this post sometimes because everyone should see it

WE really need a musical episode. We know that Harvey, Matt, Mark, and Natasia can SING and while i’m not sure if Kayvan can or not i know he can lip sync, as proven by this video where he was on lip sync battle UK.

The main cast has the chops, c’mon writers, pleaseeeeeeee. i wanna see Nandor and Guillermo singing those pining love ballads with the split screen where they’re in different places but clearly singing to each other. i would die on the spot.

I make art for myself and myself only.

one of my favorite anecdotes from the Stonewall riots is when the commotion first started rumbling and distracting the cops, one set of arrested people escaped the police wagon handcuffed together. The pair then walked around Greenwich village until they found someone in the S/M community for a handcuff key.

“No kink at pride.” Babe, who’s gonna unlock the handcuffs? 

The guy behind the counter at the post office was just like, "can I getcha anything else? Stamps? Pint of blood?" And the ten seconds it took me to remember my mask has vampire teeth printed on it was the longest most bewildering moment of my year so far

Me, bewildered and delighted: they sell blood at the post office now?
