✨ 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:

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.

Looking for beta readers for Moon Money, my gritty cyberpunk novelette (8.7k words). It’s got ghosts in the machine, broken men, & code that dreams. Queer. Disabled. Bleeding with grief & defiance. If you like stories that flicker like static & hurt a little—DM me. 💀💾🚬
