Indulge me, friends, because I’m curious. What’s the first piece of queer fiction* you ever consumed? Mine was Mistress of Dragons, a lesbian fantasy novel I definitely should not have read at age 10 that I checked out of the library because it had a dragon on the cover
*by this I mean it has canonically (in text, not word of god) queer characters (who aren’t a walking gay best friend stereotype) who impact the plot, NOT just subtext or characters with less than a handful of lines
when in season, sirens tend to find their mates through large ceremonies of dance and song. They find their mates by who best harmonizes with their song. mated sirens are dangerous so anyone at sea, and can lure men overboard without intending to use their magic. Full ships of sailors may not stand a chance.
