2) all the wayward children series (what happens to kids who come back from a portal adventure), she of the mountains (stunning, queer coming of age sort of), Serviceberry (reciprocal economy...HOPE), time's agent (sapphic pocket dimensions), Rose/House (sci fi locked door)
I could go on forever

I don't understand the gif, but I have a ton of short recs part 1: sisters of the vast black (nuns in space with a sentient ship), a mimicking of known successes (sapphic Sherlock in space), gliff (dystopian ugh so good and hard), butcher of the forest (grim fairy tale)

Oh, to be free as a rolling stone
Oh, to be brave in the cutthroat weather

Let the river unfold
Let it carry me home
With hollow bones
