Weekly Spotlight
April 10, 2026
On the grim streets of London, a young man succumbs to his demons. Discarded by his lover and left penniless and alone, Michael “Micha” Dashwood uses sex to pay the bills and opium to numb the pain.
​
When a sudden illness strikes, all seems lost. But hope finds Micha in the shape of the Reverend Thomas Mandeville. Haunted by grief of his own, Thomas cannot bear to ignore another man’s plight. He brings the ailing Micha home to heal in his parish at Nettlefield.
​
As Micha recovers under Thomas’s care, he begins to realize that some people in this world are worthy of trust. Thomas, in turn, learns the truth of his own needs and desires. Between the secrets of the past and the burdens of the present, their future together seems impossible. Questions of faith and the shadow of opium continue to haunt them both.
​
Yet possibilities, like miracles, can be found wherever you look for them.

Something About Us
by Frances M. Thompson
Dion Ravel is pissed off. His last client on a Friday night is late and he has better things to do than to wait on "Ben Smith" and his no doubt unimaginative tattoo design. But then Ben Smith walks into his tattoo studio and he realises this man is far from a stranger... It's Benji, a boy who upended Dion's life a long time ago. Dion knows who he is instantly, but will his high school frenemy (okay, maybe crush) recognise Dion after fifteen years and one gender transition?
​
Benji Smith is a mess. But maybe getting a tattoo to honour his mother will help him get a handle on the grief that has wrecked him the last few months. However, finding his tattoo artist hot is the last thing he needs. But when they both end up locked in the studio for the night, it becomes clear that there is something about Dion that Benji can't put his finger on. And maybe, there's something about both of them, together, that could lead to them both finding in each other a future their high-school selves dreamed of.

Professional Wrath
by Oliver Takely
Dexter can’t stand his new boss. Simon is the reason every one of Dexter’s friends has quit. He is desperately looking for another job, not realising Simon’s entire career depends on him staying.
One drunken night threatens to flip everything between them, but only one of them remembers it. When a blazing argument brings the tension roaring back, this time neither of them can deny it ever happened.
Dexter is juggling a mother battling addiction. Simon is dealing with an ex‑husband who keeps breaking into his home. Neither man has space for complications. Something casual is safer, easier, and absolutely all they can allow, especially as they both work in HR, where a relationship between boss and employee is even more forbidden.
But keeping their hands off each other is impossible. Keeping their feelings out of it is even harder. Just when they decide to risk everything to be together, tragedy strikes. Can the devastation bring them closer together, or will it be the final straw which stops them both from having a love they truly deserve?
Forest of the Stars
by J.T. Adria
Echo is the only trans crew member on a pirate spaceship and he's not in a good place. When the crew goes after a prize, the tables get turned around on them and they're now at the mercy of the very people they wanted to rob.
As Echo unravels the ship's secrets, he finds an unlikely friend in the ship's meddlesome sentient computer. He's never felt this accepted by strangers. Too bad that it will all be over the moment his crew manages to leave.
Crade is the unwilling captain of an unusual spaceship. It was his best friend's (the ship's computer) idea to befriend the young pirate and try to recruit him to their own crew. Crade, however, might be developing different kinds of feelings altogether. Can he offer to tear Echo away from his world the same way Crade himself was once torn away from his?

You’d be surprised which one of those secrets caused him more trouble.
