Hey! I write LGBTQIA+, usually with a twist. My solo works are mostly fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural, or similar. Currently working on Wildwood Rising, a long LGBTQIA+ fantasy series; first book written/being edited: Incarnations.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately, the likelihood of a sequel is a lot lower now than it used to be because of everything that happened since :( But the good news is we did roughly plot out what the sequel might look like for about 75% of it back when we first teased the idea of it in 1/27 (btw if you didn't read 1/27 yet you should since that's the closest to a sequel we ever got). Anyway so I do know what probably would have happened, but whether or not that will ever officially be written out remains to be seen because I don't know that I see myself feeling comfortable writing the sequel on my own. And unless I ever do, it won't be written.

Who knows what the future holds on that end, but since I do have the rough plot, in the worst case scenario sometime well into the future when I know for sure the sequel won't be written out I can tell people what would have happened. It wouldn't be the same as a full book but it might bring some closure at that point. I don't want to do that until I know 100% there's no way the sequel will be written though, because it would be massive spoilers otherwise.

Either way, thank you for the interest and thank you for reading the series! I'm happy it gave you the feels, even if those feels included crying lol (sorry about that XD)

I hope you have a lovely weekend!(less)

“If there was a hell beyond what he knew, he would welcome it. He had no reason not to.

After all, a life without living was simply a death without dying. What more was there to fear or hate but life, endless life, with no respite?”
Ais, Evenfall

“A life without living was simply a death without dying.”
Ais, Evenfall

“So, I'm just going to tell you how it is for me,' Boyd continued frankly. His gaze was intense and sincere as he didn't look away from Sin's eyes. 'I love you more than I've ever loved anyone. I think about you all the time. It's been hell trying to keep myself away - every time you're close I just want to touch you. I would do anything for you. And if I could have anything in the world right now, I would be in a relationship with you.”
Ais, The Interludes

Haha yeah that's our term! It's so rad right? I think i found the term for the first time on Tumblr. It reminds me of the Ace fighter pilots and since I love aircrafts, i like it more.

Lee! I'm so sorry! Somehow I didn't see this until now.

I AM thinking of writing a f/f story... I haven't figured out exactly what I want to write yet. I have a few ideas I've been kicking around. I guess it will amount to whatever ends up sounding most interesting to me.

Hi Aure! Thank you for wanting to me by friend! You're awesome <3 Oh and of course, thank you for reading our story! :D

PS: if you get a notification twice it's because I suck at GR and I first just posted my reply, then wasn't sure if you'd see said reply, and deleted that so I could reply off your comment in the hopes it would be more likely it might make its way back to you. I'm making it so complicated over here! haha

Just wanna know when will Fade be updated again. Wanna know what will happen next. This series is so amazing. Can't wait."


Hi! Thank you for being awesome and reading our story!

I'm not sure when it will next update yet -- what we've been doing is writing the chapters and editing them between updates so a lot of it depends on how often our schedules intersect and how fast we can write :) But we're trying to make it so there aren't super long waits in between updates.

You should probably expect a couple of weeks at least though, to be honest, based on how things have been going lately.

Thank you! It should be fixed. For some bizarre reason it got copied twice in the original document even though it hadn't been that way when we'd read it before... noooo idea how that happened. gdocs just wanted to make sure everyone was paying attention, apparently ^_~
