Spiciness / Heat Level: 🌶️🌶️
Representation (Main Character): Gay, Achillean, Bi
“What if The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole had been written by an American in 1990s Ireland with a found family, a nervous taste for other guys, and a bad case of insomnia? “Tam is convinced he saw a nymph today. I saw her too, and nymph isn’t that far off the mark as a comparison, but Tam’s got it in his head that she’s a nymph maybe in the folkloric sense as well. What is definite—what we can both agree on—is that neither of us has ever seen anyone like her before.” When Simon and his pal stumble across a young woman with a dark past, life at their Dublin bookshop changes forever. Devoted to his Irish crew—and grateful to them for helping him escape his own bleak background—Simon puts more focus on making their dreams come true than he does on overcoming the trauma he’s still locked in, one that keeps him isolated in the middle of a growing crowd. He’s getting to know himself better through his journal entries, though—the ones no one else is ever allowed to read.”

Spiciness / Heat Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Representation: Gay, Bi, Queer, Pansexual
Adam discovers his dominant tendencies, Sebastian loves to be put in his places, and Chris just found out he might be pansexual and way in over his head. Adam landed his dream job as a hair and make-up artist on the hit show KaPow! The eye candy could not be better, and being friends with the stars of the show has its perks too. The only problem is his crush on Chris and his need to take apart Sebastian Winter. Adam’s always been intuitive, and the vibes coming from Sebastian are hard to ignore. He can’t help but imagine how the man would look on his knees waiting for Adam’s orders. But before Adam can make his move, Chris makes his. In his 31 years on this planet, Chris had never been in this situation before. Meaning: wanting to get into another man’s pants so badly. But there is something so alluring about Sebastian Winter. His fingers itch to take him apart every time they’re together lately. Sebastian’s career is going great, but his love life is a mess. Hooking up with your make-up artist, who’s ten years younger, in a sex club could not be called the greatest decision ever. Especially when you’re kind, sort of dating your costar, who had never shown any interest in men before. Choosing would be the adult option, but he can’t. Adam satisfies his every sexual need like no other Dom had ever before, and Chris looks at him like he hung the moon. He knows that he can’t keep these two sides of his life separate forever, but is afraid of what will happen if they crash into each other. Will he lose them both or gain everything he ever wanted?

Representation: Gay, Bi
Theodore Spinoza was crying the first time Nash ever saw him. With the principal's hand on his shoulder, she explained that Teddy was new to the school, new to the community, and needed their help to adjust. Everybody knew that only meant to not tease him about his red face and the streaks of snot on his sleeves. At that moment, looking at Teddy all sad and soppy with his sharp chin tipped up anyway, Nash made a decision. With all his six years of worldliness and wisdom, Nash decided no way did he want anything to do with that snot-faced kid. Not when he was already in charge of keeping his snot-faced sister right and happy, and not with Daddy's fits of violence already taking up more than their fair share of his concern. Theodore Spinoza was on his own. It's funny how life can take a decision like that and twist it into something precious and unexpected.

A closeted transgender woman is about to get way too into her favorite MMO. It's 2047, and our protagonist wakes up face-down in the sands of the Shores of Awakening – a starter area of their favorite VRMMO, Another World Online: Mundane Phantasy Historia – as avatar Deedee Yeowoo, a foxgirl healer. Something's wrong – she can't log out, and as part of the late-game raiding guild Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, shouldn't be at first level. Moreover, she's not alone – at least some of her friends in the guild, as well as the innocent newbie and streamer Ace Striker, are along for the ride. How can they survive such an adventure friendly – which is to say, violent and monster-filled – world? Why are they here? And why does this avatar feel more comfortable to Deedee Yeowoo's player than her real life body ever did?”
