Midnight Rain ch 23
Not these two experiencing some domesticity! also ft. Charlotte starting a... new journey(promise this is actually chapter 32 this time, unlike last time when I mis-numbered the chapters!)---------------- Midnight Rain -------------------“I really am terribly sorry to intrude on your time, Charlotte,” Lily apologiz...
Those Who Wait - The First Time
This month's poll results came in and were so insanely close. But, everyone that voted for a Those Who Wait Sutton/Charlotte scene with toys pulled through with a victory by one percent. Maybe, if everyone is good, we can get the Midnight Rain bonus sex scene next month...------------------- The First Time --------...
CassAsks - Trixia Quinzon
This month's CassAsks features someone that we are all super impressed with - Trixia Quinzon AKA TrixDraws AKA the extremely talented artist responsible for the Sutton/Charlotte and Riley/Gianna artwork. I'm constantly amazed by how her illustrations just... capturethe characters, and asked very early on if she...
HCLU Merch Store
It's finallytime!It might not look like much right now - about 23 items - but I've been hard at work trying to figure out how to open this little shop. (as a matter of fact, I am terrible with technology and did not actually figure it out, all credit goes to Monica)All of Trix's artwork is available in vari...
Would you look at that...
Absolutely thrilled to show the first piece of artwork for Riley/Gianna! Design and illustration by the incredibly talented Trixia Quinzon (as you could probably guess by now).
Taylor for Mayor
Believe me, I was as surprised as everyone else when I revisited Faircombe to see what Brooke and Taylor were up to and learned about this. But I really felt like it makes so much sense for her/them.Besides, it's been a while since we've really returned to the In the Long Rununiverse... ----------- Taylor for M...
Cover Reveal - and next release info!
It will likely come as no big surprise to many people here that the next official release from me is The Snowball Effect, starring Regan Gallagher and Emma Bordeaux, aka Sutton's two adversarial friends in Those Who Wait.Their story will be released October 11!This project, in terms of covers, was different for me ...
Monthly poll - something spicy, anyone?
July is, according to google, the hottest month of the year. So, as such, I have a few plans for writing this month that reflects as much... Which leads me to the poll! I saw in the community chats a conversation regarding a want to see more Charlotte and Sutton with a strap-on/toys, as well as a want to see some more ...
Character Life Event - Gianna's Birthday!
Today, July 4, is Gianna Mäkinen's 31st birthday! Gianna, as a rule, does not celebrate July 4th as "independence day" - she and her loved ones all have a much better thing to celebrate every summer: her birthday. She's generally felt pretty blessed -- especially in her younger/partying years, because ...
Poll Results - Summer Vacation Fun
This was one of the most interesting results for me - mostly because Sutton and Charlotte didn't dominate! And, I'll say, that I fully agree with the results. The Thompson Family –Madilyn and Elizabeth’s summer vacations would be very… structured. Well-planned, I should say. After all, Sutton is her mothe...
Midnight Rain - chapter 22

This is simply too perfect
This is my first official commission from the talented Trixia Quinzon (@trixdraws), and I am thrilled to share it with you all! I'm also thrilled to let you know that I will have this print and several other little goodies available in a merch store officially coming at you in a couple of weeks! It will be shared e...
Current Fancasts
I've had a couple of questions in posts, chats, and several DMs that have wondered about who I would fancast as my characters. Though I do have my character highlight posts that do a visual representation of what I imagine as my characters, I figured putting them all in one place could also be a little simpler :) I...
Character Life Event - Brooke Watson Birthday
Today, June 22, is Brooke Watson's birthday!As of 2024, in a canon universe, Brooke has just turned 43.Her biggest milestones in the last year were:> Surprising her wife with a four week long vacation across Europe (it's been Taylor's dreamto take a prolonged trip with Brooke for the last few years. They...
CassAsks - Melissa Brayden
In the world of indie sapphic fiction, I think we have all heard of Melissa Brayden?! Having been writing in the community for over a decade, several of her books are staple bangers in the community. She's recently released When You Smile- which is when a woman falls for the woman that used to be her babysitter?! I...
Monthly poll - which couple provides the most exciting summer vacation experience?
As the title says - whose kids experience the most fun summer vacation?! I'll insert here to say - Brooke and Taylor don't ever have kids, but... Taylor maybe the coolest Aunt to ever exist, so when we are referencing those two, it's in reference to their niece/nephew!And you can use your own barometer for ...
Hannah Dalton: Paragon of Self-Control pt. 1
As is the new normal - the pdf is attached to the post, and the text is in the body of this post! As WYLEI won the poll last month for a bonus content scene, I started working on this piece from Hannah's point of view. While I loved writing Better Then Expectedas a pov swap novella, I knew I wanted the majority of ...
Would you look at that - redux
For anyone who doesn't follow me on social media or may have missed it when I shared the post - the talented artist (https://www.instagram.com/trixdraws/)that made the last piece of art has struck again! This time, she brought us a depiction of the scene where Sutton follows Charlotte to an alcove at the charity di...
My first author event
I posted about this on social media yesterday, but I have a little bit more to say, and I figured -- who better to say it to?! I'm so glad I was able to meet so many readers, but especially was excited to meet a few people from patreon. It was really fun to be able to put a face to many of the names that I've s...
Midnight Rain - 21
Not the return of everyone's least favorite ex for a family dinner?!And... something else, too.As I commented on my post the other day - I've received feedback that some people prefer to read directly on patreon posts, so I will be putting the text of this chapter (and all writing going forward) on the actual p...
Would you look at this?
Hi, all! I'd been planning to post Midnight Rain today, only for Sutton and Charlotte to pull a fast one on me and switch things up. Which means that as I neared the end of this chapter, I realized that several elements of it worked better as chapter 22 instead of chapter 21, and several elements I'd had planne...
Weekend Wrap-Up (trivia players - pls read!)
Thank you so muchto the 30+ people that joined me for trivia this weekend; I had such a good time hosting it (apologies for how difficult day 2 could be...). Send me a message on here if you joined in on zoom/the game yesterday or today. As I mentioned, the top 3 from both days will get a little merch bundle, but every...
HCLU Trivia Weekend Extravaganza!
Okay everyone! With the number of people that voted on the poll, there were >30 people that answered they wanted to play trivia bothSaturday and Sunday! Which was wild and exciting, so I am doing trivia both nights! Here's the way it will work - Both Saturday and Sunday, go on the zoom link (I'm putting both li...
CassAsks - J.J. Arias
This month's CassAsks features an author that I, personally, felt a little late to the party to. J. J. Arias has written dozens of sapphic romances in the last 5+ years, including her newest release Relinquishing Control, which came out less than a month ago (you can find it on amazon here). I really enjoy that J.J...
Listicle - Characters/relationships + Taylor Swift
I've been asked this several times, both on here and social media, which I guess isn't surprising since it's a well-known fact that I fucking love Taylor Swift. The truth is, though, assigning Taylor songs to our ladies and their relationships is kind of stressful for me! Taylor's music + my characters ...
Poll Time - what couple would you like a bonus scene of?
... that isn't Riley/Gianna or Sutton/Charlotte, because I'll already be writing scenes for them this month! I think Caroline/Hannah, Brooke/Taylor, and Ellie/Mia are the couples in the HCLU that receive the least amount of attention on here, so I figured that for this month, I'm going to let everyone pick ...
HCLU *Trivia Night*
Hi!All right, as I posted in April, I've been kicking around the idea of a trivia night for patrons this month via zoom! And - excitingly - there seemed to be a really good response to it.I'm still trying to figure out all of the logistics around how it's going to be played (teams? individually??? Feel free...
CassAsks - Jae
Another month, another cassasks - and this month, the illustrious Jae partook in our Q&A! Jae is one of the most prolific writers at YLVA, and her book Damage Controlwas one of the first sapphic romances I read that I enjoyed and pulled me deeper into the sapphic romance world! So that holds a special place in my heart...
Poll Results - Regan officially crowned a winner
This was how I, admittedly, expected it to go. Who wouldn't want to know more about Regan?But! I was very interested in the other results - namely that Savannah slid in second place and Athena in third! (that, admittedly, I did not see coming! But I love it)Regarding Athena's story - Starting in her early 20...
Midnight Rain Ch. 20
In which the romance continues... Oh, Charlotte.
