  1. 🗺️ Welcome to The Valdai Romance Universe: A Guide to the Archive 🗺️

    My alternative 19th-century bilingual world is vast, exploring intense psychological slow-burn dynamics across the asexual spectrum. To help new readers navigate, here are the three distinct layers of my literary work:

    📖 1. The Main Canon
    The core timeline. An ongoing multichapter emotional saga following the gravity-defying connection between an alien engineer Virgil Carter and a lonely Valdai herbalist Januar Walday.

    ⏳ 2. Standalone Stories (Canon Companions)
    Canon historical layers and side-stories exploring the characters' lives across different eras. This includes deep dives into their youth and past memories, as well as standalone emotional snapshots set in the present and even the future of the main timeline.

    🌌 3. Alternative Universes (AU / Spin-offs)
    The timelines where the year 1838 remains the absolute, unchangeable anchor of fate. Virgil and Januar are destined to meet in 1838 no matter what, but the circumstances of their crossroads shift dramatically - from a desperate rescue at a lonely estate to a fateful encounter at an old tavern. Deep psychological snapshots exploring intense tactile hunger across the asexual spectrum.

  3. ✨ Introducing "The Valdai Romance" (Валдайский Романс) — A 19th-Century Queer & Asexual Canon ✨

    Too often, historical narratives erase the quiet, burning intensity of asexual love. I wrote this story to reclaim it.

    About the Canon:
    A story of fierce tenderness and tactile passion between a young Cleveland gentleman of ancient blood and a mysterious Valdai herbalist. In an alternative 19th century, these two men — who by all laws of chance should never have met — are thrust together by fate.
    Their world is woven from endless kisses, lingering embraces, and a sensory intimacy so dense it needs no sexual act to be complete. From this devotion, they build a home and a family where none seemed possible, proving that love is not a script to be followed, but a life to be shared.

    It is a slow-burn, emotional MLM fiction exploring toric and asexual spectrum dynamics where love burns hotter without sex. This project is also part of my broader mission: reclaiming the Russian language for queer narratives that are currently suppressed, and bridging them with global queer experiences.

    📚 Bilingual & Free Experience:
    I am thrilled to share that the first 50 chapters of this canon are now available to read on Medium completely for free.

    The text is presented in a bilingual format (Russian & English). Whether you want to immerse yourself in the story, immerse yourself in Russian-English expression, or use it as an engaging tool to practice and learn Russian or English, this format is designed to bridge global queer experiences.

    📖 Read the first 50 chapters for free here:
    medium.com/@xenidavyd/list/the

    Whether you are a reader looking for intense emotional connection, a language learner, a literary agent, or a fellow creator — welcome. Let's reimagine what romance can be.

  5. The house, the street, the neighbours, the childhood bedroom, the posters of models, the martial arts trophies…
    They all suddenly felt heavier than the bin bags of rubbish I’d been sorting out.

  7. I’m Xeni Davyd, a queer author of "The Valdai Romance" and asexual romantic prose, showing that love can burn hotter without sex.
    I write primarily in Russian, with bilingual Russian-English expression. My romances focus on touch, closeness, and emotional intensity – hugs, kisses, tender gestures, and the raw heat of connection. Too often, asexual love is dismissed as bland or invisible. I write to prove it is anything but – powerful, passionate, and profoundly alive.

    I craft Queer & Literary Fiction, diving deep into the subtle psychology of Slow Burn and Emotional Romance. I am dedicated to exploring the LGBTQIA+ spectrum in both languages, reclaiming the Russian language for queer narratives that are currently suppressed, and bridging them with global queer experiences.

    Key Themes & Dynamics:

    🏳️‍🌈 Identity & Attraction: Love between boys, young adults, and men (MLM / Achillean), as well as Non-binary characters and Enby x Man (NBLM) dynamics. My stories explore Toric and Viramoric perspectives with deep empathy.

    💜 Asexual Spectrum: Asexual Romance, Homoromantic / Androromantic Ace experiences, Alloromantic Asexual narratives, and the nuances of being a Sensual Ace.

    ✨ Intimacy Beyond the Sexual: A focus on soft intimacy, skin hunger, tactile joy, heavy cuddling, and the vital importance of physical affection.

    ⚖️ Love Reimagined: Queerplatonic Relationships (QPR), Relationship Anarchy, Egalitarian Love, and the beauty of Balanced Power.

    🕊️ Mission: Reclaiming the Russian language for queer narratives that are currently suppressed.

    I believe in Asexual Hedonism and the aesthetics of the moment - from simmering Emotional Tension to the "Finality of a Kiss" (Kissing As Climax). My characters seek Equal Footing and solidarity, transforming Sensual Non-sexual closeness into a supreme form of passion.

  9. It’s 05:00 and I’m tip-toeing to the skip with bin bags full of stuff wearing a grubby old tracksuit. My girlfriend Dani suggested bringing stuff home to charity shop it, but I don’t think anyone will want a well used tea spoon from Tenby, a souvenir of a 1970s holiday. The company are going to take this skip away, and next weekend I’ll drive back and fill it up again. What a time to be alive.

  13. ナチュラル・ウーマン (Nachuraru ūman; 'Natural Woman') by 松浦理英子 (Matsuura Rieko)
    1987

    More than just a boundary-pushing, oftentimes uncomfortable exploration of queer desire. Beneath the surface lies a complex, universal truth that goes a lot deeper than the title and text might suggest at first glance.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

  17. It’s late and my memory is fading
    So late that I cannot recall
    The reason for touching my pen to paper
    To record this latest downfall
    In the street below a shout echoes
    A blurry swift noise of the night...

  19. Did you know that I write historical fiction? What was life like at the end of the Minoan era, when the Mycenaeans were occupying Knossos and the Late Bronze Age collapse was on the horizon? Experience that time through the eyes of the last priestess of Malia! More details and content warnings (spoiler: there's no happy ending) here:
