“Hen Fever” by Olivia Waite

So, it being Pride, here’s another queer story. Fuck the bigots. Beware: death; loss; grief; the horrors of war; death of an infant; PTSD; explicit sex between consenting adults.

Lady Darling Inquires After a Killer, by Colleen Gleason

It’s June, and June is Pride. Fuck the bigots, let us hear it for queer stories with happy endings. And if a few xenophobes get their innards in a twist over it, all the better. Beware: racis…
