<blockquote>When I publish a new book, traditionally I post a free short story about the characters from my last book, based on reader requests. “One of those ‘bid on a dinner/kiss’ auctions used for a charity/political fundraiser! In a modern AU.” The story is about 7500 words, and it’s Sukey/Phoebe. (With background Sukey/John and Phoebe/Nick, of course! With polyamory all things are possible. 😘)</blockquote> ➤ now at https://www.roselerner.com/bookshelf/lively-st-lemeston/listen-to-moon/if-we-be-friends-a-listen-to-the-moon-short-story/

<blockquote>Technically a sedoretu needs two men and two women. Patty didn't think that was a rule you could break until she met Jillian Holtzmann.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Wood had changed in Kasia's time away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Men who want to dress as women and women who want to dress as men know the person to ask is a seamstress called Musichetta. This unusual trade brings Musichetta in contact with Manon Lesgle and Anne Joly, two young women who wish to live as gentlemen in order to pursue their educations. But it's 1823: the King is dying, France is changing, and there is more to learn about the world and about themselves than either expected. Gender-swapped Joly and Lesgle AU. Written for the Les Mis Big Bang 2016.</blockquote> ➤ canon-era crossdressing lesbian poly! WHAT A GOOD.

<blockquote>Grandmother kept her cloth of winds in the orange room, a storage chamber painted in fire and lit to a translucent glow by dozens of floating candlebulbs created by the older women’s magic. As a small child, I remember hiding between the legs of a polished pearwood commode, safe and stuffy-warm behind the ancient embroidered material that draped it, hiding—just to be sure—also behind the veil of my hair. Grandmother-nai-Leylit would come in always just before the afternoon meal, and her smell—saffron and skin and millet dough—spread through the room like perfume. Her shuffling steps rang for me a music more exalted and mysterious than the holy sounds of the dawnsong that drifted each morning from behind the white walls of the men’s inner quarter.</blockquote> ➤ interesting gender-related and relationship-style worldbuilding. Contains a trans character and an autistic character, though neither are the main character. ➤ I really enjoyed it, and cared about the characters. But I feel like the ending isn't quite enough of the ending; I kind of wanted to read a novel about this!

<blockquote>As a /supervillain /supercriminal contract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It's pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn't all that awesome. (A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)</blockquote>

➤ wip to chapter 3 of 4 as of bookmarking. endgame pairing is Kel/Wyldon

<blockquote>After her father dies with the Ninth, Flavia is sent to Britannia to live with her uncle Aquila. There she meets a pair of British girls, and together the three of them change each other's lives in ways they could never have expected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Helen Magnus finds an uncanny ally in her search for Jack the Ripper.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Because really, how can you explain a polyamorous relationship consisting of an asexual domme, a lesbian sub, and a vanilla bisexual? They fit. They love each other. Isn't that enough?</blockquote>
