Set against the vibrant yet gritty backdrop of London, Finding Freedom in Sequins follows the journey of Arif, a young gay Bangladeshi man grappling with rejection, identity, and self-love. When his family discovers his secret, Arif is cast out and left battered and bleeding, he stumbles through the rainy streets of Soho, eventually collapsing on the doorstep of the home to three fabulous and unapologetic drag queens.

Through laughter, tears, and late-night heart-to-hearts, the queens teach Arif to embrace who he is, helping him transform from a timid and broken boy into someone proud of his identity. But Arif's journey to self-acceptance isn't without its challenges, as he must confront his past, face his family, and decide whether to hide or stand tall in the face of adversity.

French Cup: A Neighborhood Story by SumireHime3

Summary: In Tokyo, a neighborhood is seeing the tail lights of its local industry fading into the distance. Gentrification is moving in, replacing secretly LGBTQ owned shops and restaurants that have populated the block for decades. New developers are buying buildings and demolishing them left and right as owners can't afford inflated rent. The symbol of this erasure is a giant, modern hotel that went up three months ago. Nearby, the little coffee shop and micro live house French Cup is struggling to survive. New owners, two drag queen best friends, bought the business after their mentor and former owner of the shop passed away three years ago. Serving Starbucks dupes and fresh French pastries, it serves as a community center for the often closeted LGBTQ community to gather, offering drag hostessed Bingo nights and showcasing local and LGBTQ live acts on a small stage. When a new and handsome face shows up at French Cup, he's immediate news. The two best friends compete for his eyes at first, but when they find out he is to begin work at the new hotel monstrosity and is from the foreign corporation that built it, controversy spreads in the neighborhood. Worries launch into distress calls, and the neighborhood association is in an uproar. As more businesses fall, a Romeo and Juliet flavored love forms, and the two sides must come to a favorable conclusion or go to war. Note: this book is rated Mature due to the kind of jokes in the book. There are no other kinds of adult situations.

The Other Dress (✔ Complete) {boy x trans girl} by EmmyEngberts

We both love wearing dresses, the prettier the better. We also both love cosplaying and have a flair for magical-girl style characters. But that is where our similarities end. Izzy has always loved dresses, one of her favourite memories is when her parents got her a sewing machine for her ninth birthday, a real one. She's been making and designing her own dresses ever since. She gets most of her inspiration from two sources, videogames and anime. Her favourite thing to do is to make the frilliest dress in an anime. There is something liberating about stepping into the skin of a magical girl, changing into someone else can be the safest way to explore who you really are. Izzy's current obsession is the newly released 'Magical Princess Club' and especially the character Sakura. So, when she finds someone at a convention who is cosplaying Aoi, Sakura's best friend in the anime, she can't help but want to get to know them better. Because something in the way they portray Aoi gives her butterflies in her stomach. Even though she knows that more than just being friends will probably never happen... Elliot's first time crossplaying Aoi at a convention is a little more overwhelming than he thought it would be. He keeps getting compliments, but some of the stares make him a little uncomfortable. He's made cosplays before, but always male characters, he never really dared to do what he really wanted, cosplaying a magical girl. But after watching Aoi on the screen, he knew that he had to try. He had to take that step. Aoi had to be his first crossplay. When Elliot's eyes fall on a beautiful girl cosplaying Sakura, he has to talk to her, and one chat becomes two and three, and suddenly they're getting photographed together everywhere and it's the most fun he's ever had. But why would a pretty girl like her ever want more from him? Can he bring up the courage to ever ask her out, especially since she knows what he likes to do?

BOOK 2 OF CAGED!!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT READ CAGED BOOK 1!! Warnings: - sickeningly sweet romance - mentions of sex - a LOT of fluff - LGBTQ - Gayness -Homophobia - love confessions - characters with mental issues Reincarnation? How ridiculous. At least, that's what 19-year-old Oliver Menton thought-until the day he woke up feeling like a stranger in his own body, as though he were living someone else's life like a story unfolding before him. But with a loving family and the kingdom's most famous bakery to his parents' name, Oliver decided to embrace the life he had, even if something about it felt oddly... incomplete. It had been three years since the tragic loss of Prince Consort Zwei Lloyd, and Prince Desmond Yohan III still carried the weight of grief and regret. So when a trip to a local bakery led him face-to-face with someone who looked almost identical to his late brother's husband, it was as if fate had reached out to him. Haunted by memories and driven by a desire to love better than his brother had in the past, Desmond found himself returning to the bakery every day, his heart stirring each time Oliver greeted him with a smile-and his exact order memorized. Desmond told himself he would keep his feelings hidden, content to admire Oliver from afar. But when he finally makes his first move, he discovers that perhaps fate had other plans-plans that just might entwine their hearts in a love story neither expected but both desperately needed.
