What I’ve Read:
Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher – re-read – I read this years ago on the advice of a friend who loves fantasy and romance and it’s definitely hitting those notes. It’s got lovely characters who are fully fleshed out, a couple of decent mysteries, and some deeply horny people who have genuine affection for each other and genuine problems. I never read the rest of the series but I should get back into it.
different for vampires by Ariaste - https://archiveofourown.org/works/58003531 – A loving and hilarious fic that pulls from The Interview with the Vampire series and the books and engages with some of the stupid things and mocks the shit out the more stupid things. The emotional core of this fic is Daniel/Armand, in the wake of the events of season 2, and the long conversations about vampire nature including all the goofy shit. I loved it. Final chapter went up this week!
I'm Kinda Chubby and I'm Your Hero Vol. 2 - 冴えない僕は、君のヒーロー Nore Quick read – this is the second volume of the relationship of a young actor Honjiro and apprentice pastry chef Konnosuke. Both volumes have been soft and sweet, with their jobs and relationship slowly blossoming. It’s not explicitly romantic at any point but it’s very much about affection building out of admiration and inspiration. Honjiro and Konnosuke each care deeply about each other and credit the emotional support from their friend as being the inspiration for their success. It’s very small scale and super cute.
