Hi! I'm Ellis: a clinician, a speculative author, a philosopher, a scientist-practitioner, and a mythopoeist. By day, I serve as a mental health professional and work with high-acuity, underprivileged folks in Pittsburgh. By night, I weave legends from the transgressive reality of our cruel, uncaring world.

I publish under Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf, but I do business as, J. Ellis Burgos. Right now I'm working on developing my career both as clinician and as both fiction and nonfiction author.

I'm thrilled to join all of you here at hcommons.social, and I'm excited about building culture with all of you.

My bibliography is accessible from my website: https://www.ellisarcwolf.com

I have begun publishing an alternative vision of the legend of Emperor Hadrian and Antinous - reimagined as queer asexual science-fantasy set among galactic empires, starflight, and mysticism.
This story is filled with deep emotional intimacy, gentle tenderness, tactile gestures, and quiet passion. It explores love that defies laws and conventions, yet does so without conventional eroticism.
One of the protagonists is biologically nonbinary, forced to live under the appearance of a young man, navigating both identity and desire in a society that cannot recognize their true self.
Through gestures, glances, and whispered signs, they share connection, devotion, and grief — weaving a story of tragedy and resilient affection across the stars.

RU:
Я начал публикацию иного взгляда на легенду об Императоре Адриане и Антиное - переосмысленную как квир-асексуальную научно-фантастическую историю во вселенной галактических империй, космических перелётов и мистики.
Эта история полна глубокой эмоциональной близости, нежности, тактильных жестов и тихой страсти. Любовь здесь противостоит законам и условностям, но без традиционной эротической окраски.
Один из персонажей биологически является небинарной персоной, вынужденной жить под личиной юноши, исследуя собственную идентичность и чувства в обществе, которое не способно признать его истинное «я».
Сквозь жесты, взгляды и шёпот они проносят привязанность, преданность и горечь, переплетая историю трагедии и стойкой любви среди звёзд.
