I love writing this stud on stud romance so much. As always, the characters are taking over & my security guard is persistent about bagging this hot teacher 😂😏 #bvm #blackwlw #wlw #sapphic #lgbtqia #BlackRomance #amwriting #blackauthor

Made AMAZING progress with this Black gay romance btw a stud teacher & stud security guard at an all-Black school 😍 The school holds a lotta personality, the students are silly 🤪, the adults are adulting 🙂‍↕️👌🏽, the sapphic yearning is 🔥, the romance is 😏 & the drama is intense but worth it 🥹💞 #bvm #wlw

When Mezrah (Medusa) finally admits to Peryl (genderbent Perseus) that she isn't straight, that ends up being one less thing keeping them apart 👀❤️‍🔥 #wlw #sapphic #PrideMonth #lgbtqia #Blackwlw

Mezrah suddenly grabbed her wrist, forcing her to a stop. Peryl turned around with raised eyebrows just as Mezrah blurted, “I don’t think I’m straight.”

“Why,” Peryl moved into her space, voice subdued, eyes watching Mezrah’s every move and catching her tense up, “are you telling me this?”
Mezrah stepped back, her gaze directed toward the floor. Peryl kept staring at her. Waiting. Wanting. Every time Mezrah swallowed, Peryl’s eyes would drop to her throat, to that perfect column she wanted to put her mouth all over.

Ok, so this woman is WAY outta my league & she’s a masc lesbian like me but way better dressed & she’s smart af unlike me & has a wonderful upbringing while I don’t & she’s perfect in a way that makes me wildly insecure… I have no chance with her. When should I propose? 👀💍 #UnhingedPit #R #LGBT

AITA if I flirt with a teacher at work? I’m a 25yo security guard & I’m sure nobody will blink at seeing two masc women chatting during breaks IMO I wonder if she'll discipline me if I act out like her students do? Ya know what, I think I’m fine being the asshole 😏 #UnhingedPit #R #LGBT

Just like with Juneteenth, we're not free until we're ALL free. Trans people are under attack, especially Black trans folks, so be there for them. The queer community will crumble if we leave our trans siblings behind. STEP TF UP #lgbtqia #queer #PrideMonth

I realize when it comes to reading mlm and wlw, I prioritize story in mlm and am fine with the romance being fluffy or smutty but with wlw, I want story AND the most explicit, filthiest smut you’ve ever seen making up at least a third of the book 😂😂😂 #lgbtqia #sapphic #wlw #queer

Snippets of my Black Medusa (Mezrah) & genderbent alt Perseus (Peryl) being gay for each other 😌🩷🤍🩷 #bvm #sapphic #lgbtqia #Blackwlw #wlw #PrideMonth

They were gone for thirty minutes. The sex was good, really good, and he had even gotten her to orgasm more than once. But it wasn’t until she drove away that she realized during the times when she was at the height of pleasure, ready to climax, he wasn’t the one she was thinking about. Instead, she was thinking about a certain female bounty hunter

Her face flushed. She was so pathetic when it came to women; they always had her in a chokehold. And when it came to women as beautiful as the Gorgon, there was no keeping her mind straight.

The heavy disappointment she felt realizing it wasn’t Peryl only amplified her anger. All these years, what had she deprived herself of? She had thought this was what making out and sex was supposed to feel like. Had she been doing this all wrong this whole fucking time?

She’d been trying all day not to think about her, and it didn’t make a lick of difference. It was her fault; she knew she shouldn’t have kissed her, was still floored that she even did it in the first place, but it happened and now she couldn’t get her out of her head.

Fun fact: Dionysus is considered a protector of intersex & trans communities so my take on him is even more fitting. Dijonay (my version of Dionysus) is a Black trans pan woman who is introduced in the chapter that just dropped today 👀🔥 #bvm #lgbtqia #author #QBIPOC

When you write Dionysus as a Black trans pan woman with unhinged behavior

It was one of the few times Hendric acted like an older brother to her. Back then, Dijonay hadn’t transitioned yet and wasn’t quite sure what her gender was. She just knew she felt weird being called a boy. Peryl had helped her feel more comfortable in her own skin by giving her all the girly clothes she didn’t want and by using she/her pronouns. It was easy to do, easy for Hendric to do as well.

Dijonay beamed the brightest smile, one that Peryl had never seen anybody top, and as usual, it made her heart melt. She loved this girl to death. Ever since she met her for the first time nearly fifteen years ago, she wanted to do everything in her power to protect her.
She was there for Dijonay to help her through family struggles, there for her when she confirmed she’d been born in the wrong body and wanted to make the necessary changes. As eccentric as she was, Peryl understood Dijonay better than anyone.

“You wanna hit me,” Dijonay guessed right before grabbing Andraya’s face. “But you also wanna drop to your knees and eat me out, don’t you? We found out last night that humiliation is one of your kinks.”
Andraya’s cheeks darkened. She was trembling from head to toe, hands balled into fists. She gasped when Dijonay seized her throat and forced her down on her knees. Peryl stepped forward to do something but Dijonay held her hand up.
“Don’t worry, sis.” Her eyes glowed red, a feline smile on her face while she continued staring down at Andraya. “She likes this.”

I had to think about this since I have multiple characters who can be assholes, but cheeky means they're being more endearing with it. So the award goes to Ashante 😂 #bvm #author #lgbtqia #aphrodite

“How are things going with Peryl?” she asked. “You fuck her yet?”
Mezrah was floored by the question. “Excuse me?”
“Well, that’s what you do, isn’t it?” Ashante got into Mezrah’s space, bending forward to meet her eyes since she was taller. “Fuck anyone with a pulse? Well, I guess it’s fuck anyone with a dick and a pulse. Very limiting, I might add.”

“What’s there to be proud of?” Pérez complained, coming up beside them. “We just did ten times more work because Peryl wanted to save a dragon instead of kill it.”
Ashante smirked. “Just like how you extended a war when you refused to give Helena back to her husband?”
Pérez gasped, shocked she stooped so low. He pointed a figure at Ashante in outrage while she did a pompous laugh. “The war was your fault too! You’re the one who brought Helena to me in the first place"
