want you so bad

So love me and touch me
Or you can just say nothin’
I’ll read your mind, yeah I’m so high
Lost in your eyes when we’re fuckin’

I don’t usually have full playlists for my books, but I do tend to have one or two songs that I associate with each project. This is one that I listened to while working on Fairytale and First Aid, and it makes me think of Charis and Mouse, specifically.

It’s a sweet, sexy song, and I think they have a sweet, sexy relationship. I have tender feelings about them. Something I’d always wanted to explore a little more is that Charis is ace-coded, and Mouse is aro-coded.

Maybe i want to get a little bit into spoilers, so spoilers below the cut:

Ongoing series and wtf is happening with them

Hope ZaneWriting

HELLO. It has come to my attention that I’ve said literally nothing about any of my ongoing series and some of them probably look abandoned. (there is an emoji I want here, but I only have it on Discord)

I’ll probably go into more detail when I have a chance to organize my thoughts, but here is the quickest rundown:

The Witchblood Heir Series (Galahad and Iseult)

I’m not gonna lie–I realize this has been by far my quietest series lately, and it’s because it’s been giving me trouble. I haven’t abandoned this series, though. Not at all. If you’re still with me, I want to keep unfolding Galahad and Iseult’s stories <3

Fragile Tender Series (Nice)

There is another book on the way! It’s a novella focusing on June, set a few years after Coming Home. I was so curious about how these boys would grow and change, and I am excited to show you what happens with June and the rest of the gang.

(Edit: the book is HERE, and it is called Eiderdown!)

Fight for Dreams Series (Charis, Mouse, and the boys of Fairytale)

I would like to keep writing in this series, but as of now, I don’t have any ideas for further full-length books. There are stories I’d like to tell about some individual members, like Kiki and Xiao Yu, or Miyong and Joon.

Honestly, there are even some stories I’d like to tell about some of the First Love members. What can I say? I find our fey Kpop group interesting.

I absolutely have a cute little extra about Charis and Mouse in progress. It’s Christmas-themed, so you might have to wait until December.

The Fox and the Rose (Laurel and Shigeru)

I have a whole series planned for this one, epic danmei-length style. I’ve already written most of the next book, and I am so so excited to share it with you. There are some new characters (and familiar faces) that I think you’re going to love.

red envelopes for the wrong new year

Hope ZaneGeneral

Happy New Year, friends.

I hope your New Year’s Eve was lovely. Mine was uh… loud. The place where I live is surrounded by neighbors setting off fireworks for miles, all of it shooting up into the sky like a long-distance conversation of noise and light.

I also got co-opted for a neighbor’s drum concert, set live in a storage closet, fog machine and strobe lights included. Like I said—loud.

  • I posted an AU of an upcoming book on AO3 yesterday: Safe to Hold.
  • And idk if anyone here partakes in Amazon, but if so, The Electric Hymnal is free until January 4th. aka the one with the Catholic incubus. This book has always been kind of an unloved little duckling, but it still has a soft spot in my heart.

Thanks for sticking by me through another year. I really hope 2025 is the best year to come for all of us. If you’ve fought your way through 2024 tooth and nail, I hope you get some well-deserved rest. And if you’re tired of resting and ready to shake things up, I hope 2025 gives you plenty of opportunity to do the things you care about.

Love you! See you in the new year <3
