Sticky Post: Where Do I Start Reading?
I’ve just found your work and there’s a lot of it, where do I start? Welcome to my website! First off, my name is Johannes (Yo-Han-Ehz) T. Evans. I’m a gay, disabled, transgender man originally from Chepstow in the South of Wales, and I now live in Bradford in West Yorkshire, though for several years before now I lived in Galway, in the west of the Irish Republic. I’ve been writing for years, and you might actually already be familiar with my work – I’ve been on Tumblr under various URLs (before using my own name, JohannesTEvans, I was at…

An Uncommon Betrothal: Chapter Thirteen
Larry Kidd tries desperately to get closer to Alexos Fox, who despises the process. Alexos Fox is of course quite sad when the long-time butler of his household, the man who all but raised him, retires. He is not at all prepared for the old man’s replacement: his exceedingly attractive and painfully tempting nephew, Harry Sutton. Alexos, overcome with feelings that are simply too much to repress, tries his best to avoid him, but it seems that Mr Sutton has more than his employment on his mind as he attends his new employer with keen and concentrated focus. CWs for period-typical…

A Night On The Mountain
Angst short. In 1954, Loki goes to a party on Mount Olympus with the angel Asmodeus and his brother. A little under 10k, with a bit of Loki/Asmodeus in places — some slice-of-life, some Greek god stuff, a lot of angst and emotions stuff. Content warnings for references to rape and captivity (bearing in mind JP was held captive by Myrddin Wyllt until 1946), some very poor mental health from Jean-Pierre’s POV. Loki reclined on the chaise long in the hotel room, tipping his head back so that he could feel the heat of the sun on his face. He’d dragged it over…

Wash
Lucien Pike says his secretary needs a haircut. 600w, Lucien Pike/Gellert Osgodby. Just a short vignette with some intimacy between the two of them. “You need a haircut,” said Pike. “I hardly see how that’s any of my concern,” Gellert retorted, not looking up from his tablet where he was going through one of the ledgers with a stylus. “I’m not the one that cuts it.” When Pike came up behind him, he gripped Gellert not by the shoulder but by the hair, and Gellert let out an irritable noise, but let himself be pulled up from the desk and into…

I’m just in the mood for a movie with gay (or bi) dudes!
That’s not Call Me By Your Name or Love, Simon or another one that’s been recced to me a hundred times already. Disclaimer: this is not an official rec list of The Best Movies with MLM That You Absolutely Must See! There’s a pretty wide variety to content and tone. Not all the movies I’m going to recommend are explicitly queer — some of them center heavy implications or are easily read as homoerotic and/or homoromantic, but part of the reason I want to recommend them anyway is because for me, it doesn’t make them less satisfying or exciting to engage with, especially…
