Always Be You by RoAnna Sylver

5.0

I loved this so much that I stopped a few pages in to buy the Chameleon Moon sequel (and a few short stories) that I've been putting off.

Everything Chameleon Moon-related is guaranteed to have loveable, amazing and diverse characters, and this short story is no different. Regan was one of my favourite characters in the first book, and while I didn't know Rowan before this, I'd love to learn more about them.

I'm definitely not used to seeing "asexuality" written in a sci-fi/fantasy/any fiction story honestly, so to have a short story with two asexual characters talking about their places on the sexuality spectrum and how they relate to each other was Amazing.

This story doesn't have much plot - it's really just a discussion between a couple about consent and boundaries, but it honestly gave me so much hope. That things can be like this. That both real life and fiction can be like this.

Man, I love RoAnna Sylver.
