After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live!

No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks

The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.
Start Here (2025 Edition)
Are you questioning your gender and searching for fiction that’ll help you figure out what a transition might look like? Are you a trans woman or a femmeby who’s never seen herself on the tradition…

Lou’s face was on fire. There was no choice but to leap, and fall. A loud thud. Then, a groan. Not even the stone floor was cold enough to douse this heat. Lightning flashed. After it, the most fleeting of glimpses. The room was both smaller and bigger than it ought to have been; walls, at once taller and closer than they should be. The roar of thunder, paired with the encroaching migraine, silenced any further questioning on the matter. All Lou could do was lie there as still as possible, yet writhe nonetheless, wracked with pain. Lightning flashed again. There, in the remaining dark: a figure, huddled, low to the ground. Lou was not alone.

My heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships.

I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. 🥲

if you traded away the body you disliked, would you learn to appreciate it from the outside if it belonged to someone you loved?

this chapter was intended to be the end; see if you can spot the moment I realized it wasn't

Her Majesty The Prince
8 – One Night
blog.zandravandra.com/2025/10/24/8...
And then she woke up. Lou inhaled sharply, her eyes opening wide. She stayed still, waiting for her vision to adjust to the morning light and for her mind to adjust to the transition from dream to reality. She winced from the embarrassment. She thought she was finally free of those dreams. Wait. Had that actually happened? It was awfully dark, but her gut told her it was morning. Usually, light would be filtering in through the window at the top of the far wall by this point. She reflexively reached for her glasses, but there was something in the way; her fingers brushed up against dangling fabric, displacing it just enough for a sliver of light to filter into the closed canopy. She wasn’t in her bed. She was in his. Gods above and below, it had actually happened.

for a seasoned warrior, sometimes the most terrifying battle is the one fought not with steel, but with words; against not an enemy, but a comrade

Her Majesty The Prince
7 – Nouvelle vie
blog.zandravandra.com/2025/10/18/7...
She had made it to the meeting, but it had put her through the wringer. She was fragile, she was spent, but she had to keep going. Frederic’s assurances of the Prince’s good intentions meant nothing, in the end, if she couldn’t confirm them herself. She had to see him. She had to hear it from him. After all that they’d been through together, surely that wasn’t too much to ask. There was no turning back; another chance like this might never present itself. All she had to do now was convince the new captain of the guard to let her in. Unfortunately, he was as steadfast as they came—she’d picked him herself. Lou looked back to Frederic. No matter where she wished to go. She took a deep breath, and then held out her hand. “Promise?” The knight took her hand and shook it firmly. “You have my word.” Lou smiled for the first time that day; the first time in many days. “Okay.”

1. this is true

2. Itchio reviews are, unfortunately, only for the creator's eyes. if you want to write something kind for other potential player's to see, please make it a comment on the game-page instead.

no I don't know why it's set up this way but it is.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?

The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.

Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

back when I made up my mind to write this as a series, the first five chapters were mainly just a pretext so I could get to the scene at the end of this one

one no longer invincible, the other no longer a princess; both ready to have a long-overdue heart to heart

and neither quite prepared for the other's reaction

Her Majesty The Prince
6 – The Person Inside

“Loulou, you stopped her. You stopped the spell.” “What?” She shook her head. “No I didn’t. Look at me. Look at you!” “You interrupted it before it took effect. You diverted it. And you stopped her.” “…I did? She didn’t get away?” “No,” the Prince said, chuckling in disbelief, “she very much did not.” “Well then why didn’t you reverse it? Why didn’t you have your… magic friends fix this?” The Prince steepled his fingers. “Loulou, you need to understand,” he said, speaking softly and methodically, “you killed that witch really hard. Even the nice witches, the ones who don’t want to steal my body, are very scared now. I don’t think any of them will ever come near us again.”
