@ataliass Book: Perfect Timing 

@SeraDrake  Book: Ancilla (mature: This novel has been in Wattpad After Dark's BDSM booklist since May 2024 for a reason. The lovemaking scenes are not the sole focus of the story, nor are they written in a prurient or raunchy manner, but my protagonist and her mentor/dom/soulmate do not play behind closed doors, and they go to extremes. ADULT READERS ONLY. Potentially triggering content: Depiction of the protagonist's abusive childhood; depiction/description of homophobia, biphobia, and bi erasure; depiction of financial hardship and food insecurity; depiction of grief, mourning and trauma. In the final chapter, the protagonist experiences vampiric starvation that closely mimics the symptoms of severe clinical depression. At her lowest point, she briefly contemplates suicide.

LGBTQ: Yes. Among other things, Ancilla is a bisexual coming-of-age story.)
