These feel like Roland Faunte songs
"I am the reason I suffer but I am worth fighting for." - Roland Faunte (from the song "Anchor")

Queerness Is A Body Of Water
Queerness + Water
Queer stories that have scenes with water, water as a theme, etc.
The intimacy of nude swimming, water encasing the body, the way a river flows and connects to other bodies of water, the life that lives in its depths, the fact we have not descovered much of the ocean which holds secrets we cannot reachโฆwater is a queer thing, and a theme found continually in queer stories both minutely and wholly encompassing
Adult-audience fiction mostly, some mature YA
Recs welcome!
