Beauty and the Beast (1987) written and produced by George RR Martin starring Ron "Hellboy" Perlman and Linda "Sarah Connor" Hamilton is the only television programme brave enough to ask the question: "What if Fabio lived in the NYC sewer system?"

And as for celebrations… first, I’m officially releasing the Enzo face-reveal postcard print, illustrated beautifully by Katabay. Spoilers for Fiorenzo below!

Blurred image. The words "Enzo face reveal!" are superimposed. An arrow points to the right.

Illustration of the characters Fiore and Enzo from the novel Fiorenzo by Sebastian Nothwell. Enzo is sprawled in Fiore's lap gazing adoringly up at him while Fiore holds a riding crop to Enzo's throat.

Sebastian Nothwell (he/him) @sebastiannothwell.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Fiorenzo is a queer #romantasy featuring swordplay, hurt/comfort, and revenge. It tells the story of Fiore, a courtesan with a plan, and Enzo, a masked aristocrat whose arrival in Fiore’s life absolutely annihilates that plan, to both their benefit.

Sebastian Nothwell (he/him) @sebastiannothwell.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

This September marks the third anniversary of Fiore and Enzo’s sword-crossed romance. How shall we celebrate? #mmromance

Cover art for Fiorenzo by Sebastian Nothwell. It depicts a working class man and a masked nobleman embracing on a bridge over a canal in a fantastical version of 18th century Venice. A party hat graphic has been crudely pasted onto the head of the working class man. The words "happy book birthday!" and "spoilers ahead!" are superimposed.
