Oh I loved this a lot. RoAnna is such an amazing author, and is able to craft the most amazing characters.

Aaaaand another book of Chameleon Moon stories that I loved.
I noticed a thing, it is: Most of these are romance-y, and I tend to thing I don't like romance, but actually I liked all of these.

[[relationship spoilers for Chameleon Moon and a little for The Lifeline Signal. no story spoilers.]
I listed a couple of warnings here, but the book actually has a list of content warnings at the beginning]]
this book was three things
1) an emotional roller coaster, o u c h
2) the most polyamorous book I've ever read (seriously, just look at all the ships in my notes)
3) perfect.
Thought And Memory: Liam/Ash. listen. I love Liam and he deserves nice things and this is so beautiful but also kills me because of the last story. (best read after The Library Ghost, which I re-read just before this.)
Recognition: Rose/Danae/Evelyn story! I think this is the only one they actually appear in, which is a little strange? But it's wonderful and pure.
Words: Jay/Regan story with Rowan being supportive, which is just amazing and made my polyamory-loving heart sing. not to mention that Jay and Regan are my absolute favourite characters.
Life Returns: Rowan/Zilch story! I'm really curious to find out how the two of them got together, but this little cute story about an everyday interaction was perfect.
Happening Again: starts out with Jay/Regan cuteness. then it's not cute anymore. send help. [tw for torture]
Withdrawal: very emotionally heavy and definitely not one of my favourites, but has great Zilch/Rowan/Regan dynamic and backstory. [tw for drug addiction and withdrawal]
Different People: Regan/Rowan story about them getting together. so much sweetness.
Always Be You: another Regan/Rowan story, this one about navigating similar but slightly different asexual identities, consent, and wondering how the heck to tell if you experience sexual attraction at all. relatable.
Stitches: Zilch/Finn story and they're both perfect.
Memento Ignis: wonderful backstory about both Annie and Ash with Annie's autism explored at one point, but listen, whose idea was it to put this right before the next one?
You're Not Going That Way: can RoAnna stop doing this thing where the story starts with cute banter (and ribbing Ash about Liam~) and then it rips my entire heart out and steps on it

These stories were so good but they also made me want more of this universe so I might have to reread Chameleon Moon soon.
