I'm not sure if anyone wants this but as a queer history nerd, I want to share parts of our history. I think it's important to remember the people who came before us and to remember that we are not alone, we've been around for centuries. So I'll go into figures in history who were lgbtqia+ or gnc and also major milestones and points in history.

Sirius Black was incredibly certain that he knew himself very well. So well that at breakfast, he slid several pastries and muffins into his bag, knowing full well he'd forget about them and be pleasantly surprised later. "That's alright. Being scared ain't a bad thing." She said it so matter-of-factly he might've almost believed her. "But it's also kind of exciting, isn't it?" And with that, a wicked grin spread over her face. Okay, Lily Evans was the coolest person he'd ever met. Sirius Black, notorious fan of Lily Evans' muggle magazines, finds himself inexplicably obsessed with one specific edition he sees her reading at breakfast. That paired with some feeling in his stomach that he'd rather not think about, he learns that Lily Evans is way cooler than he thought.

One rash decision will lead him down the path toward revolution... Nathaniel Hill, eldest son in a well-connected and respected English family, is offered two choices by his father after being caught in a compromising situation: public shame to force his good behavior, or to sever his family ties and leave on the first ship for the colonies in America. Rather than endure the life his father expects him to lead, he makes the choice to begin anew where he knows no one. Landing in Boston, Massachusetts in 1772, he uses what money he has to purchase a tavern for a bargain price from a desperate seller, and sets about scraping together a life in a city he quickly realizes is on the verge of complete catastrophe. Though he attempts to remain neutral in the politics ripping at the city's foundations in the years that follow, he is destined to fail. A musket, a British officer, a rebel spy network, and a dashing Frenchman are fated to disrupt his carefully-held neutrality. Revolution is a queer historical fiction series set during the American Revolution in which all protagonists find happiness at the end of their harrowing journeys, regardless of whether their stories include romance or of which side of the war they are on. All books include content warnings for war and violence, and the characters are impacted by 18th century social norms, including those regarding gender, race, and sexuality, in various ways.
