It was a little thing, lost between the rows and rows tombstones. "ADELINA SILVA" in simple script, a constant reminder of a life lost too soon.
The morning sun glows, bouncing off the new blooms of early spring. The pinks and oranges mingle, like a popsicle on a hot day. Fresh dew lingering on the grass that crunches beneath her feet.
"Thank you," Bea breathes, fingers fidgeting with the stem of a yellow lily. Thank you for loving her when I couldn't, she wants to cry, praying that Ava's mother can feel the sincerity, For comforting her with your love before I could cradle her with mines. There's so much to say. But nothing at all. I'm sorry you had to go for me to hold her in my hands.
She lingers for a moment, grateful and earnest. I wish you could be here-- for her, she prays, ending with three solemn bows. The wind picks up for a second, swirling around Bea like a response. I wish I be could too.
She kneels, gently laying the flower over the stone, the glint of an engagement ring shining in the light. I'll love her for the both of us.
#ty to aroo for suggesting “silvia silva”#🤷♀️ i was just thinking abt bea visiting ava's mom's grave#like a way to tell her to be at peace#bc they have each other now#anyways#warrior nun#sister beatrice#ava silva#avatrice#hcs#boink scribbles#death and its friends has a very dear place in my heart if u couldnt tell LMAO

i keep seeing people in their late teens/early twenties having a "[X] content intended for younger audiences does not feel satisfying to me anymore but i don't know where to start to branch out into adult fiction" moment and i thought i would give some recommendations for adult fiction for my fellow creepy crawly queer people. all or at least a LOT of it will be on the darker and more fucked up side bc i primarily engage with horror and thriller media personally but feel free to add on with more or recommendations from other genres :)
edit: i am continuing to add to this list so there might be new recs (highlighted in pink) in here every once in a while! also want to add that there's a variety of POC, queer, and disabled authors in here as well, i am also all of the above (asian, bi/aro, poly, disabled) and tried to incorporate as many of their wickedly talented, compelling narratives as possible. that's all, happy reading!

Fairy Tales & Legends Retold
A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no one has lived past twenty-one.
Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.
This is the first volume of the "Fractured Fables" series.
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.
Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it��and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.
In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico City—and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites.
Marlinchen and her two sisters live with their wizard father in a city shifting from magic to industry. As Oblya’s last true witches, she and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. But at night, Marlinchen and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city’s amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theater, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart.
As Marlinchen’s late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father’s rage and magic. And while Oblya flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.
Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel
“I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me.”
So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on tales about the might and benevolence of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the worthy. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to the marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.
Desperate for independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With it, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favored queen.
But as the evil from her childhood stories threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. And Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak—and what legacy she intends to leave behind.

13 books
Tagged by @nikita-not-nikola to answer 13 questions, and then tag 13 people. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
1) The last book I read:
The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All The Way Home, by Catherynne M. Valente. A bit of a let down, but the third best in the series imo.
2) A book I recommend:
my absolute favourite This Is How You Lose the Time War, by Amal El Mohtar and Max Gladstone
3) A book that I couldn’t put down:
Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. I was on the worst reading slump of my life last year, but this book was the exception. It was amazing.
4) A book I’ve read twice (or more):
The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman. <3
5) A book on my TBR:
just getting a random one from my GR list, because I have A Lot: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
6) A book I’ve put down:
The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. I already assumed I wouldn't like this book due to the general premise, but some quotes really made it sound better. But nope, it really isn't for me. by R
7) A book on my wish list:
Babel by R. F. Kuang. It's too expensive 😭
8) A favorite book from childhood:
The Seventh Tower series by Garth Nix
9) A book you would give to a friend:
Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I think it's a favourite book of mine that most my friends would enjoy.
10) A book of poetry or lyrics that you own
Power Politics, by Margaret Atwood, a beautiful bilingual edition 💚
11) A nonfiction book you own:
Sintomas Mórbidos by Sabrina Fernandes. I still haven't read it 😬
12) What are you currently reading:
Harrow the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. Absolutely amazing, better than Gideon so far
13) What are you planning on reading next?
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid. Not much to say about it except that I'm not so sure I'll like it, but I really want to give it a go
Tagging everyone who wants to do it ❤️❤️

Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag, even though it’s July
Number of books read so far in 2023: 40.
Favorite book so far: The Laughter by Sonora Jha and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
Best sequel so far: Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare.
Recent 2023 release you want to read but haven’t as yet: Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong and Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
Most anticipated release for the second half of 2022: A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid.
Biggest disappointment so far: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, because the writing was fun and fast-paced but there’s way too much “God Bless America” in there for me to positively vibe with the book.
Biggest surprise so far: The Foxglove King by Hannah F. Whitten because I don’t typically like fantasy-romance booktokish books but this had me in a chokehold.
Favorite new author (debut, or new to you): Mario Vargas Llosa and Octavio Paz.
Newest fictional crush: Bastian from The Foxglove King, because I feel ways about him that are concerning to feminism.
Newest favorite character: Jane from Jane Eyre, as I haven’t felt such deep sympathy and respect for a literary character like that in ages.
Book that made you cry: Not proper tears, but the last 200 pages of Chain of Thorns had me on the cusp.
Book that made you happy: Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin because the book feels like a warm hug and is my current comfort novel.
Most beautiful book you acquired so far: Got the Fairyloot edition of The Aventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shanon Chakraborty and it’s absolutely stunning, like it had me gagged. I was kinda scared to touch it.
Books you need to read before 2023 is up: A Study in Drowning, The Book that Wouldn’t Burn, Sword Catcher, Big Swiss, Penance, Heir to the Darkness, Our Wives Under the Sea
I’m tagging anyone that sees this and wants to do it! My Goodreads and Instagram are in my bio for anyone who’s interested in being buddies on there and is new to this blog!
