Blood Moon Rising by Amelia Faulkner (Tooth & Claw #2)

A pack in turmoil. A ray of sunlight. A moon that demands blood... Randall Carter is in love. If only he could say it to Ellis’ face, but he’s been too busy - or too much of a coward - and now he may never get that chance. With the threat of a blood moon looming in the night sky his Alpha is on the warpath against both a new pack invading his territory and the vampire lover he ordered Randall to destroy. Ellis O’Neill’s problems are mounting fast. Randall’s Alpha wants to kill him, a vampire neighbour invites him to join some sort of coup, and his secrets are stacking up like firewood waiting for a single spark to set them ablaze. The last person he expects to betray his trust is the man he’s fallen in love with. Torn between love and obligation, Randall soon realises that he can’t satisfy both. He’ll have to choose, but the cost may well be more terrible than he can imagine. COVER ARTIST: Cover Design by Amelia Faulkner and Jen Fowler PUBLISHER: Ravensword Press YEAR: 2015 LENGTH: 268...

I Sexually Identify As An Attack Helicopter by Isabel Fall

“I Sexually Identify As An Attack Helicopter” takes the premise in its title seriously to produce a really cool story which raises, answers, and then raises more questions about gender and identity in a way that feels exploratory, respectful, and bold.

I love how this story takes itself so seriously within the text, in a way that can only be produced by understanding just how ridiculous the premise is, and leaning into it.

For anyone lucky enough to be unaware of the reference, one of the troll responses to meaningful and complex discussions of gender identity is that someone people will say something about identifying as an "attack helicopter", as if that would invalidate someone being trans, or whatever identity is being discussed.

This story uses that mockery to dive deep and explore the implications in a really amazing and moving way, I found myself thinking about the way I understand gender, how it is performative and also intrinsic... Seriously, read this story, I've included the link below.
