you've heard of only one bed but may i suggest only one head??? forced proximity but may i offer you LIs sharing a body and needing to get split up before they both die?

dark adventure fantasy with a tender heart - this brings you through fantastical place after place with an almost ghibli-esque wonder and imagination, while never losing its characters or kirsten's other trademark of super concerning demons and doses of body horror. this is an excellent loner-reluctantly-gains-band-of-allies-and-learns-to-trust fantasy; it's learning to open a walled-off heart and want to live and live with someone; it's got scholars with magical workings, demented sea slug gods and places and creatures i'd love to visit; it crosses personal stakes with a vast world so wonderfully and the ending DEVASTATED me.

i would kill to see this as an animated series. tor give the people the sequel i'm quite literally in your walls

I've read the first few early chapters of this and like. Adventure fantasy with a darker bent and a little Ghibliesque wonder? Stabby woman sworn to demon who accidentally binds a pathetic pretty quippy man to her shadow in order to save his life and must now free him to save her own?? im about to be incredibly annoying about karys x ferain let the record show i was their first shipper
