Queer Bait

Saylor is soft. Saylor is sharp. Saylor is trying.

From the locker rooms of middle school to the college apartments where no one knocks first, Saylor's life is one of fragmented, flickering memory of learning to live with the things that happened to him — and the things he said yes to before he understood what yes could cost. Through moments of intimacy, erasure, betrayal, and aching want, Saylor reckons with love that harmed, friendship that disappeared, and a body that remembers what the mind tries to forget.

Sister Brother Gemini

Or: The House with the People In It

Aidan wants out. Cece wants quiet. Dorothy wants things to stay exactly as they were, even if they never were that good to begin with.

In the stillness of their Queen Anne home, the family moves like planets too close to share the same sky. Escape, silence, and control become three versions of prayer. No one is innocent. No one is entirely wrong. Just family — reaching, rupturing, and hoping someone comes back before the house goes quiet for good.
