Moonwife is my ode to Angela Carter, Cat Valente, and Amal El Mohtar; everyone who taught me that it is okay to love words enough that they suffocate you. It is a faithless love letter to Hindu mythology. And above all, its my most Tamil story I've pubbed to date.

"Moonwife", my story where the moon is a lesbian and you should try to kill her, is out today with @tasavvurnama.bsky.social ! tasavvurnama.com/moonwife/

Moonwife - Tasavvur

Moonwife is a South Asian Speculative Fiction story written by Rukman Ragas for the Summer 2026 edition of Tasavvur magazine.
