Prince Cedrix Adrian Tobius Cristafer of Ithnia is really, REALLY fed up of rescuing princesses from towers. This is the sixteenth damsel he's been sent to save from distress, and he's quickly running out of energy, patience, and (most importantly) excuses not to marry them. Fortunately, this one is neither damsel, nor distress.

Jen and his various friends belong to @indecentpause Prequel to From the Roof of my Mouth warnings: drug abuse, drug overdose Before everything, before they were friends-with-benefits, before college and complications, they were Nakoa and Ryan. Two idiots still telling each other lies, still hiding secrets they shouldn't, still searching for something unnamed. Ryan meets Thom during his and Nakoa's first vacation, in the summer after high school, and Nakoa tells himself it's not jealousy burning through his veins when he sees Thom and Ryan together. Instead, he aligns himself with Jen, who Nakoa knows the night they meet that Jen will push him to new limits. It's not a romance. Nakoa learns to fill in the blanks left by Ryan's distance with drugs, with highs, with the taste of cherries on Jen's lips. It's not a romance, but Ryan forces himself into a box to make things work with Thom, until Nakoa's poor judgment and emotion flare into chaos.

The world of Thamwren is on the brink of change. With its people whispering about a mysterious substance that draws out unheard of power, warring kings, and more people being sent into the Empty Sea, Thamwren is more dangerous than it's ever been. The people call it rhydos, a potion made out of the very plant that saves lives, but there are rumors that, when made correctly, it creates immense power. Fire and ice just from thought. Rhydos' introduction creates new alliances, new friends, new opportunities, but the more known about it, the more the people of Thamwren find themselves split. Rhydos threatens to break an already broken world. Why not let the chaos win?

Zeriah Morris is a new student, and Adam is instantly struck by him. As their friendship grows, the only way for Adam to express how he feels is to scribble poems into his notebook. Quick Disclaimer: cover made by @sapphicauthor using Canva

He isn't being reserved on purpose. Questions just aren't something he trusts. Maybe she's not a cop trying to lock up another homeless kid or a suspicious clerk at a roadside gas station wondering why he's paying for Slim Jims in grubby singles, but she's still an adult, and he's still a transient and a teenager. Sixteen is the age where everyone suspects you of something. Though for him, big, brown, and ungroomed, it started much earlier. When she turns back to him, her eyes are tired. She can't be more than thirty-five, but her lips, her hands-they've seen more than what three decades should hold. "What you're running from isn't gonna stop. Someday you'll tire out, and Bryce, whatever's chasing you... won't." Bryce can't think of anything to say to that.

A fun anthology about robots helping us to death, from the perspective of robots that are just trying to do their best and are awfully concerned when things start going wrong. This is going to be first draft, majorly unedited, but it should be a fun read!
