To end out 2021, here are some more books that fall into the category "it's gay and it slaps." Once again a range of styles and genres, but if there's a queer main character and it's a 4-5 star book, it's gay and it slaps. š
Not pictured but also gay and they slap, so they deserve a mention:
- Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
- The Incubus series by A. H. Lee (warning that these are an mmf relationship that's pretty weird/paranormal and very spicy but I enjoyed them)
- Covenant (webtoon) by explodikid
- Six of Crows (the first in the duology with Crooked Kingdom) could be on this list, but no one is really explicitly queer until book two. Still a great book though!
Go forth and enjoy, my friends! And as always, feel free to recommend me more. My giant tbr can always get bigger!

This blog is solely to help me remember funny things I encountered but wtf does this mean
My brothers just had an argument over if our mum is a vegatable
Something I find funny is that there's a large gap in Arthurs life that we know nothing about. Assuming he left the DICOMY school at 18, there's 20 or so years that he could have been doing literally anything.
We know what the other adults did
Linus- worked at DICOMY pretty much forever
Zoe - was on the island being her sapphic self and generally being the Greatest
Helen - everything
Charles Werner - actually we don't know this one but based off what we do know it probably involved him being a selfish prick
So I'm taking it upon myself to compile a list of possible things Arthur could have been doing with his life, (getting increasingly unlikely as the list goes on.)
So far I have
studying philosophy Real Hard because as we know he's a Huge Nerd
babysitting or teaching because yknow he'd be good at it
studying ornithology because I'd personally find that kinda cute and funny
maybe he studied marine life bc that one scene where he said chauncey was a jellyfish and I know he probably did all that research specifically for chauncey but my special interest is the ocean so I deserve this
he could have played Jenga for profit bc in that same scene he startled me and Linus with that trick with the books
maybe he studied the blade because he's gay and has a sword
Feel free to add
HELLO y'all. you might remember me from this post where I went on about why people should read wolfsong, the first book in the green creek series, and itās been two years since I made that post. it still gets notes, and judging by how many it hasĀ Iām guessing I got a good portion of y'all to read it. so I figuredĀ Iād try again with a new book series and a new author!! I completely devoured this series over the last week and a half, and as far as I know, it has almost no fandom on here or anywhere elseĀ Iāve seen and I need to fix that. SO, here we go:
itās six books (the first one is called revelations, shown above), so there is plenty of content for you to absorb!
and the series is completed so there will be no agonizing waiting between books, you can just read the next one right away!
itās a dark new adult fantasy/romance set in a world of angels and demons, heaven and hell
sloooooow burn at first. but oh my god the payoff.Ā
as of now there are only 2 (TWO!!) fics on ao3 and NOTHING in the tags here (except a moodboard I made hehehe) so just like when green creek was just starting to be popular, we all have the opportunity to build up the fandom and spread word of it around!
eventually ends up being a poly romance!!!
poly rep, ace rep (in a main character!), gay rep, bi rep, fluid characters (characters who identify with he/him pronouns but like to dress up occasionally/wear feminine things), just delightfully queer from beginning to end
begins with our hero riley shephard, sweet, sweet, sheltered riley, who has grown up in an abusive household and is away from home for the first time at college
in the first book you can tell that heās very innocent and naive, he hasnāt been exposed to the outside world much due to his upbringing with an abusive foster parent, so to watch him grow and discover himself is just so incredible, and by the end of the sixth book youāre like WOW!! MY BABY GROWNĀ
a heart-wrenching journey of self-discovery, freedom, and love and acceptance that I just could not stop reading from start to finish, I literally finished every single book within a day or two and I canāt remember the last time I binged a series like that
will definitely not be for everyone, but if you can handle all the stuff listed below then I promise it is SO worth it to read because of the story at the heart of it
TRIGGER WARNING: the whole series contains graphic violence, gore, scenes of traumatic sexual assault both on and off page, child abuse, torment, and a couple other things that might be difficult for people to read, but the author includes a content warning at the beginning of every book!!Ā
hella, hella angst
but so many beautiful scenes too, scenes of coping and healing from trauma and incredible chemistry between the characters!!
did I mention the poly romance
itās a long journey to get there, but it ends happily and in such a satisfying way!!
the development of the main character is just such a great thing to read, it made me cry to read how he changes for the better but also has to fight the darker parts of himself
if you liked the green creek series I truly believe youāll like this too! and ifĀ Iām wrong you can come into my inbox and drag me! but this is one of my new favorite series ever and I have no one to talk about it with!
but seriously if you like gay werewolves and gay witches, try some gay angels!
I just love Riley Shepard so much
and the angels. oh my god the angels. jairus, noel and gideon. I love them all so much.
I donāt know what else to say I just want to spread this series around because it deserves the love!! itās so good! so fucking good!Ā
Iām just begging y'all to give this series a chance so I wonāt be alone in my little corner
Editing this to add: Kirt Graves, the same person who narrates TJ Kluneās audiobooks, will also be narrating this series!!

āSorry but you donāt get to tell me what to do.ā
Bobby already ripped him up a new one when he found out what Buck had done. Eddie didnāt get to do it too. Eddie made a noise of discontent as he stepped into Buckās office, closing the door behind him with a something a little close to a slam that had Buck tossing off his glasses so he could glare up at Eddie properly.Ā
A simple thank you would suffice but apparently that wasnāt what he was getting. Not judging by the downward twist of Eddieās lips and the heat smoldering the anger in his eyes.Ā
āOh yeah?ā There was a mean edge to the tease in that drawl that made the heat in Buckās skin flush hot and not in the good wayĀ
Eddie was poking him, prodding for a fight that Buck wasnāt interested in giving him. Not when he would've made the same choice every time. Buck pressed the button on his desk that frosted out the windows and made his office soundproof so that all of Q-Branch didnāt have to hear Eddie and him fighting before he stood up. He rounded his desk and met Eddie toe to toe, ignoring the stutter of his heart against his chest when he caught the purpling bruise on Eddieās cheekbone.Ā
āWhen it comes to your safety and getting you home then Iām going to do everything I can to protect you.āĀ
Buck had said something along the same lines to Bobby but there was something different that time when it was with Eddie. The words felt raw in his throat, cracked and fractured for anyone to see if they looked closely enough. He knew what he did was impulsive. He knew that he exposed himself in a way that went against protocol.Ā
But Buck wasnāt about to be bullied for the choice he made because he would do it again in a heartbeat.Ā
āJust mine?ā Eddie asked, his mouth still tight but something softening in his expression that Buck wanted to lean into and never let go.Ā
The heat against his palm surprised him and Buck didnāt even realize heād lifted his hand to settle against Eddieās chest until he felt the low murmuring thump of his heart. A knot twisted in his throat, choking off the rest of his anger and burning away the lingering panic that he heād been holding in his chest for days now.Ā
āTheyā¦ā Buck breathed and tried to blink away the hot pressure building up behind his eyes. No. It was just the adrenaline. The adrenaline and the fumes. He stared down hard at Eddieās chest where his heart was beating against his palm. āThey touched you.ā
Eddieās hand curled around Buckās wrist. āLots of people touch me, Buck.āĀ
The flippancy made the anger sizzle in the back of Buckās throat and he clawed his hand into a fist, twisting the fabric of Eddieās henley with his fingers. He shook his head, sniffing again so he could shove back the tears and the worry and everything else he didnāt know how to identify without doing some serious soul searching and he would rather stick a laser in his eye, thanks.Ā
