Always Be You: A Chameleon Moon Short Story (Chameleon Moon Short Stories Book 3) Kindle Edition

Eight years before the events of Chameleon Moon, Book 1, Regan was just beginning to feel secure in his new life. He doesn't know many things for certain, even his place in Parole as it hangs in a fragile balance far above an ever-burning fire. But he has no doubts about how he feels about Rowan (who appears in the short story The Library Ghost in the collection Life Within Parole, and will again in Book 2: The Lifeline Signal). Trust and intimacy like this is hard to find, and their connection quickly becomes one of the sweetest and most reassuring parts of his strange life. So far, sexuality hasn't been part of it, not for either of them. But like many things in Parole and beyond, attraction/sexuality/sensuality are more complicated than they first appear.

This is a story about an asexual couple navigating consent, sorting out sometimes-confusing layers of attraction, and discovering new things about themselves and one another - like the fact that their orientations don't entirely match up. But even if their sexualities are farther apart than they realized, it doesn't mean they have to be anything but close.

About the Author

RoAnna Sylver is passionate about stories that give hope, healing and even fun for LGBT, disabled and other marginalized people, and thinks we need a lot more. Aside from writing oddly hopeful dystopia books, RoAnna is a blogger, artist, singer and voice actor. She lives with family and a small snorking dog, and probably spends too much time playing videogames.

RoAnna Sylver writes unusually hopeful dystopian stories (and now vampire stories) about marginalized heroes surviving, triumphing, and rocking really hard. RoAnna is also a singer, blogger, voice actor and artist who probably spends too much time playing videogames. The next amazing adventure RoAnna would like is a nap in a pile of bunnies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahhhh!!! <3

This is so good! This is a short story about figuring out romantic but non-sexual relationships, when things drift from sensual to sexual.

There is a consent discussion, reassurances, and so much love.

This is so amazing, and really helped me feel better in who I am and my potential future relationships.

This is fantastic and I'm so happy to see this available.

Being asexual is hard, but these conversations are so important, and make being ace easier.

10/10

4.0 out of 5 stars Asexuality reflected
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017
As a person on the asexual spectrum, I never get to see my experience reflected in characters -- not just the experience of being asexual, but the experience of confusion as to what that means, as well. This story is incredibly important to me in its expression of an identity and an experience like mine and also as an example of a healthy relationship that revolves around open conversation and consent. A great read!

A very short story of two people in the ace spectrum discussing and setting the boundaries for their relationship. Lovely as always.

5.0 out of 5 stars It gave me all these feels and shows awesome consent negotiation
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017
This story meant a lot to me. It gave me all these feels and shows awesome consent negotiation. Consent negotiation in fiction is so precious and important and not very common. I learned things about writing it from reading this. I got all verklempt over reading a scene where it feels exactly right and super swoony and great that they decide *not* to have sex. I was all giddy happy that they made that choice, and super into them, and rooting for their relationship. It meant so much that they chose that. Like I was all tearful on the bus about it, because it was such a perfect-for-them choice in that moment, and I had never read anything like that. Oh if you are worried you need to have read Chameleon Moon to understand what's going on, I haven't finished it and was totally fine reading.
