What You Will

A Queer-er Shakespeare

Beschreibung

A storm at sea leaves twin hearts broken... and when the twins enter town, they leave broken hearts in their wake. Trouble is brewing in Illyria. Steadfast and stubborn Duke Orsino won't take no for an answer from Countess Olivia, yet Olivia's proud heart beats only for Cesario. The catch? Cesario used to be known as Viola. Viola lost her twin brother Sebastian at sea and entered Orsino's household disguised as a man. Now, Cesario is falling for his master, the duke - while helping Orsino court Countess Olivia! Is it because Cesario used to be Viola that he is falling in love with a man? And if so, why does he vow that the dead will walk the earth before he answers to Viola? Outside of town, a man who wears Cesario's face is recovering from long illness, cared for by the darkly handsome sailor and war veteran Antonio. When this stranger, so recently recovered, decides to travel to Illyria, he walks into a love triangle he never could have imagined. And Antonio will take his life in his hands to follow the man he has come to love. Will Illyria still be standing when the storm-lost twins are done with it? The strands of passion and destiny lead to strange places; find the impossible happily ever after in this retelling of Shakespeare's classic queer love story. Discover, in a story that has enthralled audiences for ages... An even queer-er Shakespeare.

Autor

As a child, Jess was taken from her family and turned into a marionette. Bluff, stubbornness, and Valdemar enabled her to survive long enough to eventually cut her strings and, like Pinocchio, set out into the world to discover what it meant to be human. She discovered her family, polyamory, and eventually herself. Part of discovering herself was discovering that she had within her the wellsprings of fantasy that had once helped her survive. So she started writing. And soon her life filled with fae, werewolves, and TVtropes. In the middle of inventing parallel worlds and fantastical beasts, she lost her family again, joined a polyam quad, watched it disintegrate around her ears, spent some time networking, fell in love with and subdued a disabled demon, partly raised four children, and wrote a surprisingly popular essay on the value of gold toe-socks in polyam relationships. That essay was the springboard to start writing about polyamory regularly, and she turned her 10+ years of polyam relationships into fuel for a blog about pregnancy, mental illness, legal stuff, and other practicalities of polyamory. Today she spends time frying sufganiyot to keep her demon appeased. She writes fantasy stories and polyam advice while the dough is rising.
