A COMMON BOND by T. M. KUTA

Construction Project Manager Carneline has a lot of her plate at the family business. The last thing she needs is romance. But Josie, the skilled superintendent, is complicating things one iced coffee at a time.

Well y'all after many fits and starts and life chaos later, my debut lesbian romance novella A COMMON BOND is finally here! We battled 3 family deaths, covered two separate maternity leaves at work, and rewrote this puppy twice, but it is HERE!

A Common Bond is my love letter to my day job in historic reconstruction and all of it's quirks, cliques, and capricious capers. Also... y'know, being a giant raging queer in construction. ;) It is an honor to publish a Clover Hill Romance book, and I hope you fall in love with Josie, Carneline, and Clover Hill the way I did while writing them!

Edit 10/30: Read the entire first chapter for free HERE!

The Heartbreak Handshake by J.R. Hart

goodreads

Paxton McKee, Clover Hill’s rideshare driver and handyman, is known by his customers as responsible, dependable, and loyal. On first dates, though, he’s known by another word: boring. His dates never seem to appreciate his in-depth knowledge of famous aviation disasters or his LEGO expertise. His book club buddy, Mrs. Sawyer, keeps trying to set him up. But after so many failed dates, Paxton’s given up on finding someone who can accept him, special interests, stims, and all. Hand-crafter Remi Sawyer put Clover Hill in their rear-view mirror to sell at craft fairs across the country. But being a traveling artisan is harder than Remi thought. With mounting bills, they’ve ended up back home. Being in their old teenage bedroom is weird. Even weirder, their mother keeps trying to set them up on dates, even after they’ve made it clear the homecoming is temporary. To get Mrs. Sawyer off their backs, Paxton and Remi agree on a scheme: they’ll go on three dates. When it’s over, Paxton can pretend to be heartbroken, and Remi can get back on the road. They even shake on it. But awkward dates lead to the realization the two have a lot in common. Kissing is gross? Check. Spending quiet time doing projects together is enjoyable? Double check. But Remi is still hell-bent on leaving Clover Hill again, and Paxton is dead-set on staying. Can they find a new vision that doesn’t involve Remi leaving their kindred spirit behind, or are they both destined to lose the person who might be their perfect companion?

Mod opinion: I haven't read this novella and I personally probably won't but it sounds like a cute romance.

Into the Forest I Go

Forgot to post this yesterday, sorry!

This fic is part of the @cloneficgiftexchange! I hope you like what I did for you @burningfieldof-clover

I tried so hard to figure something out with romance since you like it so much but it’s not 100% my thing. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

Blaster fire crisscrossed the field in front of you while you and the men attempted to gain a better position and gauge droid movements. You could hear the screams and groans of the men getting shot all around you until you got closer to the front to report something to General Skywalker. Everything behind you was drowned out by the humm of lightsabers, metal, and robotic voices.

Those sounds were soon drowned out by your own heartbeat and the amount of adrenaline rushing through you.

The battalion had barely gained any ground and hundreds of droids still marched closer with tanks mixed throughout their ranks.

“The scouts and I found a better position to take out that tactical droid, sir!” You yell over the overwhelming noise. You wanted to get back to the trees and analyize the situation, acting as one of the snipers instead of sprinting across an open field filled with injured or dead friends.

“Good! Get back out there and try to take it out! Everything else will go into chaos! Don’t miss!”

“I never miss!” You ran back to your assigned squad to fill them in before taking your rifle to higher ground.

Droids filed their way through the forests surrounding you but you weren’t too worried, you were one of the best at keeping a low profile and sneaking through unseen, waiting to take your shot. The thick underbrush surrounding your group provided excellent cover as long as none of the clankers used any heat sensors.

“I’ll make my way up that hill while you three climb some of these trees and watch my back. Start firing on my mark.” The men nodded and you made your way through the forest.

Your targetted spot was getting closer when you heard something behind you and darted behind and up a tree, finding nothing. You stayed there for several moments until you were sure that whatever it was had moved on. On the way back down you were shot and came crashing, landing hard on the leaf-covered ground and losing the rest of your breath.

Rex commed you, “are you okay?! I told the others to stay where they are. Don’t move, I’m on my way!”

“Keep pushing forward, Rex,” you wheeze, “this mission is more important! We have to take that base, and we have to do it soon!” You moved to sit up and bring yourself to lean against the tree but couldn’t move well from the open gash in your side and clenched your teeth as you used every bit of energy you had left to drag yourself just a few more feet. “I’ve got my rifle and some cover. Keep pushing forward,” you order.

“I will save you if it’s the last thing I do,” he replied before cutting the line.

You were forced to stay in one spot whether you liked or not and decided to tell one of your squad members to make his way to a better position and take the tactical droid out then began moving some of the brush around you for better coverage to hide behind.

“Fuck,” you grumble under your breath upon lifting your shirt to look at the full extent of your wound. “Why did I have to decide to train as a scout and sniper in training instead of a damn medic or some shit?”

You lean your head against the tree for what felt like years when you heard movement to your right, the direction the clankers were coming from, and gripped your rifle tighter. It wasn’t good for close-range fighting but it would have to do; you had lost your knife in the fall, but it wasn’t like you’d be able to move around enough to use it well anyway.

Sliding down the tree some, you prepared for a fight and aimed the blaster in the direction of the noises coming closer. Everything stopped. The only sounds you heard again were the birds and squirrels. Still, you raised your weapon, prepared to use it at any second, and jumped when you heard your name - the gash in your side bleeding even more.

“Fuck, Rex! Did you really have to scare me like that?!” You asked, moving some of your cover out of the way for him to get closer. “I thought I told you to leave me until that base got taken.”

“You did. I also said that I’d save you if it was the last thing I ever did,” He shrugged and moved closer to raise your blood soaked shirt up and look at your side, “and it looks like it’s a good thing that I did.”

“You’ve always been dramatic about that kind of shit. I was going to be fine until the base got taken. Like you should have done before finding me,” you growled.

“We took the base. I made sure everything was going to go smoothly after helping route out any remaining clankers. So, I followed orders. Now shut up and let’s get you out of here.” He moved to your other side and pulled your arm over his shoulder to help you up after securing your rifle across his back and contacted Kix, “get some space opened up for her. She’s probably going to pass out from blood loss before we get back.”

“I’m not going to pass out. It would have happened already.”

“Just like when you said that everything was going to be fine on Kashyyyk just before all hell broke loose?”

“How was I supposed to know all of that was going to happen right that second?!” You chuckle before putting your free hand against his chest and whispered, “stop, I just heard something.”

Rex handed you one of his blasters and crouched to hide behind a large bush, making sure to look in every direction possible but wasn’t sure what you had heard.

Blaster trained in one direction, you stared down the spot that you heard the rustling. Rex followed your gaze but still didn’t see anything until you fired. A commando droid dropped like one of the acorns falling from the surrounding trees.

“We need to keep an eye out for more. How much further to the base?” You whisper, clenching your teeth on your way back to standing up.

“Another couple of klicks.”

“Fuck.”

He chukled, “yeah.”

~~~~~~

Rex had been right; you passed out about three-quarters of the way there. Upon seeing the two of you, Kix immediately kicked out a shiny with a minor injury for you lay on the cot.

“She’s going to need a lot of stitches but I can’t do anything without completely taking her shirt off,” Kix assessed, “either you need to hold up a blanket or something for some privacy, stand guard at the door, or just let everyone see her. Up to you.” He got up to gather the supplies.

Rex didn’t know what he wanted to do. He didn’t want to leave your side but he also didn’t want anyone seeing you shirtless. He eventually decided to stand with a blanket spread between his arms between you and any prying eyes, keeping your dignity while also staying close.

~~~~~~

Waking up, you look around bleary eyed. Panic set in when you didn’t know where you were or how you got there. Last you knew, you were still in the forest hobbling alongside Rex and keeping your head on a swivel on the lookout for more clankers.

Jumping to sit up, a hand rested firmly on your shoulder and the man shushed you until you came to your senses. He got up and left the room. Several minutes later, Rex all but burst through the door.

“How are you feeling?” Rex asked, gently placing a hand on your shoulder.

You sarcastically laughed, “like shit.”

“Well, it isn’t too bad if you’ve still got you sense of humor,” he shuffled closer on the crate next to your cot, “don’t scare me like that ever again.”

You roll your eyes, “not exactly something I can promise in a warzone.”

Gina is a board game fan, Marek is a video game translator. She's stuck on a bad relationship from her past, while he's ready to move on after his own dating disaster.

If you'd be into a queer romance about a bi man and a bi woman in their late 30s falling in love, you can find info, buy links, and a preview here.

Or here's the full blurb if you're intrigued...

Gina has a no-dating policy, but out-of-towner Marek’s nerdy charm is tough to resist. A small town bisexual romance.

No dating. That’s longtime divorcée Gina Kersey’s rule, and she’s sticking to it. Comfortably settled in her hometown of Clover Hill, she’d rather play board games than risk getting played herself. For company, she has her beloved if slightly meddlesome Great Aunt… who’s somehow made Gina promise to break her rule. She has to ask someone out. On a date. Maybe she could skip town instead?

Outgoing video game translator Marek Haas flew across the country to pick up the sports car of his teenage dreams—to celebrate getting over a breakup from the absolute worst boyfriend, not because he’s having a midlife crisis at thirty-five. In his automotive fantasies, though, the car didn’t break down in the middle of small-town nowhere.

Marek’s not a damsel in distress, but when Gina comes to his rescue on the side of the road, she can’t believe her luck. He’s handsome, charming, and most importantly, just passing through. Promise, meet loophole! When he turns out to be adorably nerdy as well, they skip drinks at the pub for a fun-filled night in Gina’s bed.

The problem? Marek’s vintage car needs parts the garage doesn’t have, so he’s stuck until they’re found. Meaning every time Gina turns around, her hot one night stand is still in her town, being all cute and friendly and sometimes taking his shirt off. Even worse, he seems to be falling for Clover Hill… and Gina might be falling for him.

Can Gina overcome her fears and take a chance on a geeky sweetheart who makes her weak at the knees, or will their unforgettable one night stand end up as nothing more than a memory?

A high-heat queer M/F romance with two bisexual main characters and a guaranteed HEA.

Tropes: “no dating” rule, vacation fling, one night stand, meddling matchmaker, seasoned romance with characters 35+, small town, nerds in love, bisexual romance.

Re-reading Black Clover because holy cow it's been years since I read it and guess what? I still love it when I first read it! (I'm now on Gauche getting forced into Asta's "get-along" friendship shirt arc. Sister Theresa is a milf-*gets shot)

I will agree that the female characters aren't perfect, but it doesn't dampen my liking of them. The whole thing with Asta like inspiring the Black Bulls (Magna, Luck and Gauche) does come across as bit rushed/forced, but it doesn't ruin the story for me.

That aside, Black Clover brings me this comfort for me. It's a action-adventure manga, but to me it's more like a comfort manga...witch action-adventure :D

And what I also like is how I can see why Noelle, Mimosa and Rebecca would fall for Asta. It doesn't come across as forced and I enjoy all these 3 ships. If I spend time with a positive guy similar to Asta I would fall for the guy as well, lol. (The only issue would be how Asta can come across as bit too immature to be in a relationship, but like he's 15)

Hhmmm, l should watch some anime episodes, l don't have anything else to watch now...(Already knowing what's going to happen) Oh, l love that arc, but l barely remember it... A shame, it's always funny to watch Asta force people into friendship and them slowly realising that he is being serious. And l agree! Sister Theresa is very interesting and l love imagining her training the Vermillion twins when she was younger... Oh wait you didn't mean that.. Oh wait... Oh... You know what, you are righBANG

I think Black Clover is a series l can acknowledge that has flaws and enjoy despite them, specially because they do not interfere with the plot, it's only some minor characterization stuff (and we don't talk about the animation because it's something unimportant, and the studio it's at fault because they didn't give the animators enough time so they had to work extra hours, so nothing but respect for them).

And yeah l get what you mean about it being your comfort anime... It's just so endearing to see this absolute wreck of people who are the Black Bulls to punch their way around fights, social gaterings and triple dates... Because they are all a mess and together they only make everything worse/funnier

I could rant about every Black Bull and some other characters including Yuno or Mereoleona, they all have their things and aren't just background characters or are reduced to a single trait.

I gotta say that the romance isn't something that interests me in Black Clover, EXCEPT for Charlotte and Yami, l am cheering for that babling mess of a woman and l wish her all the luck in the world (and my condolences to Sol because of her unrequited lesbian crush). But Asta's love life... The dude is 16, let him fight with swords, eat sandwiches and punch stuff, he'll focus on his romantic life when he feels like it. Is not that l don't like it, but l always find something else more interesting than the ships. I don't think that Asta is asexual tho, l think that would be Yuno, who is incapable of understanding what is so interesting about girls, boys, bees and flowers. I am so sorry but l can't see him any other way, that man has never used his hips for anything else than peeing and he wants that to stay that way. I will die on this hill.
