Rain has spent two long years pining over his best friend in their online gaming server. He had just about given up hope they would ever become more than friends, when the impossible happens. Lyle asks him out and they make plans to go to a gaming convention the following year. Of course, life never goes according to plan. Lyle isn’t even surprised that everything in his life went off the rails as soon as he finally got up the courage to ask Rain out. Now it’s been over a year since they last spoke and he has one more chance to make things work. At this point, it would be nothing short of a miracle…or maybe an act of fate.
Author
D.C. is an avid board gamer and rock climber who lives on the East Coast of the United States but loves to travel to places near and far as often as they can. D.C. has always identified as queer, but during the pandemic they came out as nonbinary (they/them pronouns) to family and friends. This book was part of that process, and they have loved exploring different genderqueer identities like their own through their writing, reading, research, and countless hours watching reels and videos on social media. Their biggest hope in writing queer fiction is to provide at least one other person out there with characters and story lines that they can recognize themselves, or their friends and loved ones in.
