My Favorite Queer Books! [CC]

[@nedhunter4444]

Some of my favorite pieces of queer literature, in no particular order: Silver, Sand, and Silken Wings - Protagonist is confirmed to be bi, but is effectively ace in the first book due to trauma-related issues. Mating Flight: A Non-Romance of Dragons - Protagonist is very homophobic at first, whilst somewhat amusingly not realizing that she herself is not straight (she's aroace). Goes on to assist her close friend in fighting for gay rights. The Princess's Feathers - The main characters are a lesbian couple. Dragons and Skylines trilogy - Two of the three main PoV characters are gay. Smash the World's Shell - One of the main protagonists is gay, the other ace. These two are visual novels, not books: Golden Treasure: The Great Green - *Everyone* is enby. The protagonist's culture has no concept of gender. Only three "characters" are referred to by gendered pronouns: The Sun, the Earth, and one specific dragon who may or may not actually exist (she's talked about like a mythological figure) Angels With Scaly Wings - Protagonist's gender is unspecified, but five other characters of assorted genders are willing to date them (and for the full story to be seen, they must date all five). Note that all of these, except for AWSW, are in the dragon PoV xenoficiton genre (that is, the main PoV characters are dragons). In AWSW, the player character is one of only a handful of humans who appear throughout the entire game-basically everyone else is a dragon. Also, in StWS, only one of the PoV characters is a dragon, while the other is human.

Oh, and some more details: SSSW and StWS are both the first books of their respective series. Their sequels are currently being written (I'm friends with the authors of both on Discord). The author of StWS is enby, and Mating Flight was also written by an enby author. Mating Flight is mainly a political satire about systemic and cultural homophobia, and imperialism. SSSW is a fun action-adventure story about a dragon looking for her biological mother, after her adoptive mothers refuse to tell her who her birth parents were. AWSW is hard sci-fi. The others listed are either pure fantasy or science-fantasy. TPF is sorta an isekai story that eventually turns into a reverse-isekai, I guess? The protagonist gets turned into a dragon, lives among dragons for a while, and then convinces her new dragon girlfriend to go back home with her so she can sort out the political consequences of her having been "eaten" by the dragon she became (she's a princess, as the title implies).
