Structural Integrity
A downloadable novella
A trans M/cis M romance novella
Messenger boy Kel never expected to strike up a romance with a government official. But Yaan lacks the self-important snobbery of the others, seeing Kel as more than just a pretty face. Living with him in the city’s plush government complex is everything Kel could want: no more expenses, kitchen workers and resident animals to befriend, and of course seeing Yaan every day. Even if Yaan does spend most of his time working or worrying about work, and seems to have forgotten that they used to have actual conversations…
When the city decides to tear down the iconic theater building in Kel’s old neighborhood, Yaan’s indifference toward his pleas to help save it forces Kel to confront his growing unhappiness. In the aftermath, both will have to decide whether their relationship is salvageable.

A very sweet, enjoyable read. The character work was especially immersive- done with a light hand, but hinted evocatively at in the way the best sort of poetry leaves the door open for the reader to step through. The marble detail was fiendish. Also, always a big fan of befriending cute pigeons. Yaan’s flustered, bashful demeanour was super endearing. The perfect accompaniment to a mug of hot tea and lounging on a cold spring Sunday.
