The good kind of butterflies 🥰

The Gravity Between Us launches this month on Patreon.

Summary:

Loss changes you.

Sometimes it changes the world, too.

One day, my husband was beside me. The next he was gone. Not just missing, but forgotten by everyone. Everyone but me. Grief cracked something open. Now the world around me is shifting. Light bends. Time falls. Shadows watch. But I still remember him. I don’t know what I’m stepping into. But I know one thing. I’ll find him, or I’ll tear the seams of reality trying.

The Gravity Between Us is a modern fantasy romance about the kind of love that holds on even when memories fade and the world falls apart.

... Read moreLoss can alter our perception of reality in profound and sometimes surreal ways, as beautifully depicted in The Gravity Between Us. The story delves into grief's transformative power—the way it changes not only us but also the familiar world around us, bending light and time itself. This theme resonates deeply with readers who understand how heartache can feel like the world is unraveling, yet also spark resilience and fierce hope. The narrative’s embrace of fae lore infused with a modern twist adds a magical dimension to the exploration of memory and love. For those drawn to fantasy but craving intimate, character-driven stories, this blend offers a unique experience. The protagonist’s determination to find her lost husband—even if it means tearing the seams of reality—echoes the universal quest for connection and meaning after loss. Interestingly, the story’s black-led perspective brings fresh representation to the romantasy genre, enriching the tapestry of voices and experiences. The emotional depth crafted through this lens highlights themes of love against the odds, loss, healing, and ultimately, the warmth of cozy, hopeful HEA (happily ever after) conclusions. The praise for the "good kind of butterflies" feeling—a mixture of nervous excitement and a full heart—reflects the emotional highs that come with such immersive storytelling. This sensation, captured in the notes about imperfect but meaningful moments, reinforces the narrative’s authenticity. Beyond the story itself, engaging with The Gravity Between Us on Patreon offers readers a chance to access early serialized chapters, sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive bookish swag. This fosters a community where readers don’t just passively consume but actively participate in the storytelling journey. If you’re drawn to fall reads that weave emotional depth with fantasy, or if you love discovering new voices in romantasy, adding The Gravity Between Us to your TBR (to-be-read) list promises a richly rewarding experience. Expect to be moved by the tenderness, captivated by the magical realism, and inspired by the enduring power of love even when memories start to fade.

the death of our butterflies 🦋
the butterflies you used to give me are slowly dying.i know truly that's from lack of communication & you barely trying. now i sit here with silent tears. slowly justifying how you made me feel. that feeling is so terrifying. but there is no need of defying that our butterflies are dying.
