The Solstice Cabin by Arden Powell
4.0
TLDR: This novella is a beautiful story.
This story is sad, and beautiful, and sweet, and wonderful. The historic difficulties (injustices) associated with being a gay man is a huge theme in this story. This gives an overall sad caste to the entire thing. Despite the awful prejudice and danger our main characters experience just from being themselves, they find beauty and friendship. At times I did have the thought that the magic portion of this novella was completely unnecessary but ultimately it didn't detract from the story and did add a scene or two that I would have missed.
