Hello! I am yves. (EEVZ-dot), an any-genre author of one short story collection, one novelette, many many short stories, and several novels to come. You can now view all of my published writing—sorted by genre, pricing, and length—right here at this page! Great for anyone who wants a jumping-off point to read or share the yves. canon.

Happy transgender day of visibility! Here are some transgender people you can see at the above link, or at the sister list on my website:

  • rising electropop artist who isn't sure whether she's avoiding or seeking the pop punk girl making objectively terrible music (Band Girls, NSFW)
  • shy transmasc lesbian accidentally discovered by his Discord kitten (Long Line, NSFW)
  • ghost in the walls of a girls' finishing school (Tragic Accident)
  • young transmasc trapped in Sanrio store overnight with the dress of his guiltiest dreams (Dressage)
  • reality TV show contestant who can't seem to hit on the guy the producers have assigned to her... and the guy she's hitting on instead (Paper Tigress)
  • Rebecca (Something Weird I Heard About Rebecca)
  • trans vampires, trans angels, trans accomplices to blood thievery, and all other varieties of trans monstrous personages in my short story collection, Something's Not Right!
...and many more!

Thanks for reading, reblogging, and, of course, booping!

Hello, everyone!

I haven't posted original content in a long time. To be honest, I never really posted original content consistently. (And that's okay! That's not something you have to do, it's just something I'd like to be doing.)

Something I realized early on with my new therapist is that I have a lot of trauma surrounding finishing and sharing creative projects, especially written ones. We decided my first step in healing from that would be to write up a little booklet of 20 poems, and then share them. So, over the past few months, that's what I did!

I've formatted them in such a way that you can print them front and back and fold them into a little booklet! I've made it available to download on ko-fi (pay what you want, but you must donate at least $2 to access my transgender trauma). If I know you and we've talked before, you can message me here or on discord and I'll send you a copy!

If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy!

more stuff about becoming a god being inherently dehumanizing pls

too much focus on Ascension or becoming Greater not enough focus on what is Lost of you

you're not a person anymore, just a personification. you're a concept, an abstraction. all neatly defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagueries or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal.

you can never change, now. never grow or evolve, you are this, forever, stagnant. and the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.

D U O D E C I M A L ↳ a novella by max goose-books

Sixteen-year-old Marshall Gardner is 1) straight-laced, 2) exacting, 3) judgemental, and 4) perfectionistic. And below the surface, kept hidden from the rest of the world, he’s 5) controlled by his obsessions and compulsions, 6) fixated on the number twelve, 7) hopelessly in love with his best (only) friend, and 8) horrendously imperfect.
He’s also 9) universally disliked, 10) the self-made enemy of the former GSA president, 11) just a little too easy to trick, and 12) in trouble.

a story in twelve parts, ft. color symbolism, neurodivergent feelings, trans people, the “locked in a room with the person you hate” trope except it’s not enemies-to-lovers they just hate each other, & at least one ray bradbury reference.

AKA “the short story that got away from me and became 23k words,” AKA boy howdy have YOU ever wanted a twelfth night retelling that fully ignores the gayass love triangle that is the main appeal of twelfth night and focuses instead on the irrelevant background characters and their silly little subplot??? have i got the novella for you!

duodecimal is entirely free & being released in full! all 23k words of it. links & content warnings under the cut.

oh, now that I have some time: I did an art piece partially inspired by this story a couple months back! It was for a class exercise, so it’s not typical fanart as such, but it’s really, really obvious what I was thinking about when I made it:

i read duodecimal by @goose-books on thursday and pretty much haven’t stopped thinking about it since. anyway i had to draw marshall.. i went off of a picrew i found in the duodecimal tag! the skirt and fishnets are obviously in the text, and there was nothing about the shirt that i could find so i just picked something ❤️
