Thanks for the tag! I’m sooo excited for YWIMC and Tenshito ^_^

The Tengu And The Angel

A troubled teen artist makes his way up north after running away from his abusive alcoholic mother, and is taken in by an equally troubled fashion designer. They become best friends, fall in love, and learn to let go of their pasts while being the most sickeningly sweet and loving fictional couple you’ll read about this year. As you might’ve guessed from the title, Japanese mythology is a major theme in this book. Released December 2023, and available now on Amazon Kindle and Kobo

Night Of The Blue Moon

Indie game developer who lives a double life is forced to live a triple life when she’s given powers by the titan Phoebe, and tasked with defeating Orpheus, the supervillain whose son ruined her life and her career prospects. Also she’s in love with her sidekick, but she doesn’t know it (Yet). This is basically Miraculous Ladybug meets Percy Jackson, but for adults. Also it’s very gay because what’s a magical girl story without sapphic subtext? Currently in progress, release date TBA, but will likely be early 2025

Blood On A Yellow Rose

Aromantic vampire doctor befriends terminally ill patient who is also aromantic. Vampire turns terminally ill patient into a vampire so that they can live forever when it becomes abundantly clear that the two of them are soulmates, and there’s a lot of discussion about amatonormativity in human society, and how it contributes to bigotry against people on the aromantic spectrum. Both are tired of being treated like second class citizens due to never wanting to be in a romantic relationship, and being abandoned by their friends in favor of romantic pursuits. In progress, release date TBA but will likely be sometime in 2026

Alriiiiight, time to add some art for the ones that are more developed ✨

1. Peter Hart

1. Pirate captain abducts a twinky prince, inadvertently saving him from an arranged marriage. Now forced to go on an epic adventure across the sea with this captain and his gang of adoptive sea dads, the prince and crew discover hidden secrets, find valuable treasures, and become an inseparable family. The Captain and Prince also gradually fall in love via slow burn Enemies to Lovers and have a lot of sex.

2. Your Wish is My Command

2. A Graduate student majoring in History and Architecture stumbled upon an ancient lamp during one of his field studies. After freeing the genie from the lamp, said genie wishes to explore the world and how it has changed from his last imprisonment. However, the researcher is a shut-in that hates public interactions. The genie becomes the researcher’s roommate and helps to bring him out of his shell, while learning some new things on his own. Also a slow burn, Friends to Lovers Slice of Life with lots of sex.

3. In The Realm of Giants

3. A high-fantasy adventure in the great Norse north. Two idiots, a giant and a human, go on an epic quest to one of the three major roots of the World Tree.

4. Tenshito

4. Archangel escapes the restrictive teachings of his seven older brothers to explore Earth Realm. Winds up accidentally launching himself into the cosmos, landing in a forest located in Japan.

Runs into a kind stranger, lives with him in his remote dojo in the woods, and discovers even deeper secrets about life on earth, outside of Earth, and his new friends. Friends to Lovers, Slice of Life in Japan where…..you get the idea 🍆

5. Lone Star Rangers

5. Gay cowboy finds a bounty (gay plant alien) on a dying planet, decides not to turn him in for credits, and both become bounty hunting partners. Intergalactic sci-fi, weird-western cowboys and aliens adventure across the cosmos. Cowboy sex. Yeehaw.

6. Operation: Relations

Runs into his rival outside of work, and night guard develops a huge crush on the thief. Thief knows exactly who the night guard is, night guard does not know he developed a crush on his rival (thief uses a disguise and voice mod). Crime syndicate that thief is a part of thinks this is a great opportunity to keep tabs on the Night Guard as part of the operation: tells Thief to take Night Guard on his offer to date. Thief is reluctant, but has to stick to the plan. Lots of shenanigans and sex ensues.
