🗺️ 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.

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.

She was born of foam and sand, of waves crashing by the shore. The only mortal child of two sea gods, her family’s divinity constantly loomed over her, a storm in calm waters. Her sisters were ageless immortals, but vowed to use their endless years to protect the weakest of the daughters, the unruly youngest.

I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.

It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.

Ok kids - This week I will start #recording and possibly start releasing my new run of #stories!💻​

I am excited to get this new batch out into the world.
:flag_transgender:​:flag_nonbinary:​:flag_rainbow:​
If you are unfamiliar with my show format for this let me explain. I write a short story in one sitting. Do some quick spelling and glaring grammar edits and that is it. The story remains in a first draft state. I then read the story to you with no rehearsal and no jump edits when I mess up. I open with my thoughts and close with my thoughts on the story and the progress of the #project.

Not only am I cute, but I have a honey voice and am a kick ass writer. Not all of the stories have been winners but I still read them to you. The highs and the lows, they all matter and are fun.
💜​🖤​:heart_transgender:​:heart_rainbow:​
Come check out what I did last year and know this season will be amazing! (Also tell your friends)
🦇​
I am going to post the titles below and you tell me what you think it is about or the genre. I have done and will be doing multiple genres and writing styles.
🐐​
Every story features #LGBTQIA characters and culture.
