fujoshi are a sign of fertile soil, like a parasol mushroom in your potting soil. when you see them, even where you may not expect one, you should be grateful for their presence. it is a fortuitous sign of growth to come, and an inspiring reminder of their resilience and adaptability.

Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

 Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him. 

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.

Dark starfield background. Text reads: ‘a guide to BABEL ON CALLISTO a queer cosmic horrormance [wip].’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE PITCH.’ Under two movie posters, text on left reads: ‘encountering the unknowable’ and under Annihilation poster: ‘contact that warps and bends.’ On the right above Brokeback Mountain poster: ‘unlikely intimacy in isolation’ and below: ‘love that cannot last.’ Main body text reads: ‘On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x 
Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE COMPS.’ Three book covers below. Above the first cover (The Mountain in the Sea): ‘isolated research station.’ Below it: ‘philosophical alien threat.’ Above the second cover (The Deep Sky): ‘psychological unraveling.’ Below it: ‘fracture under mission pressure.’ Above the third cover (The Salt Grows Heavy): ‘queer, visceral horror.’ Below it: ‘love as a consuming force.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘SNIPPET.’ Large opening quotation mark. Text reads: ‘Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction—how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.’ Large closing quotation mark.
