Recs if you like Once & Future (Once & Future, #1)...

were you a fan of BBC’s Merlin? did you like the King Arthur subplot of Once Upon a Time? have you ever dreamt about pulling a sword from a stone? this list of Arthurian inspired books is for you!

disclaimer: I have not read all of these books

as always, taking any and all suggestions!!

Lady knights but center around les.bi.an rep 🩷🤍🧡

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Queer knights, paladins, and slayers with a penchant for kneeling pathetically at the altar of their love. Oaths and yearning aplenty.

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

your favorite stories growing up, with a queer twist! anywhere from the most popular fairytales to the more obscure ones, recs always welcome!

Speculative fiction (fantasy, horror, sci-fi, etc.) about, or prominently featuring, ace characters. This includes demisexual characters and ace-spec characters as well! 🖤🤍💜 corrections & recommendations welcome <3

Note: used to be titled “For My Fellow Garlic Bread Lovers” but I worried it would cause confusion or not enough clarity on what the list was about (still keeping the bread emoji tho)

Books with protagonists (or love interests) who are sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

Sometimes the word is used on the page, and someone times it has been inferred. Just trying my best.

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

🏳️‍🌈 bisexual books for bi babes - ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi

Again, just wanted to make this list because I haven't seen one like it! Leave suggestions if you have some :D

Everybody wants to be Arthur.

Books that use the "Once & Future" title template.

Books with ace characters

Retellings of classics, fairy tales and myths with a queer twist

Book that feature prominent character(s) who's on asexual/aromantic spectrum. I've read most of these.
