Twinkerbell: A Queer Retelling of Peter Pan (That Pun Has Been Laying Around for Ages—Someone Had to Do It)

Twinkerbell is live. The epilogue is free. Go read it.

Here's what you need to know: This is a queer retelling of Peter Pan where Peter is the reason for everything but not the main character. When Peter feels desire for the first time, Neverland cannot allow it. The island has ways of preserving innocence, of keeping the eternal boy eternal. And when a fairy catches that forbidden feeling, he must fall.

The story follows Robin Twinkle—formerly Twinkerbell, a fairy born from Peter Pan's laughter—as he awakens to desire, is expelled from Neverland, and learns to navigate mortality in contemporary Berlin. This is a story about the fallen, not the one who stayed behind.

He falls through dimensions and lands in Pixie Hollow, a derelict bookstore in Berlin's Neukölln district. There, he must learn what it means to be human: to eat, to sleep, to ache, to desire, to love. Guided by the Diva—a mysterious figure who catches the falling and teaches them to land—Robin discovers that exile isn't failure. It's evolution.

What You're Getting

This is an ongoing serial novella (~35,000 words) that reimagines the Peter Pan mythos through a queer, erotic lens. The tone is lyrical, dark, sensual, meta-fictional. The Diva narrates with direct address, speaking to you as a witness and co-conspirator.

The epilogue is free. It's the origin story. How Twinkerbell came to be, how he awakened, and how he fell from paradise into the cold reality of Berlin's cobblestones. More chapters will follow. Mqybe free, maybe not. I haven't decided yet. But the epilogue? That's yours.

Why This Story?

Because once upon a time, a laugh made fairies. Then a longing unmade them.

Because every queer soul might be a fallen fairy carrying Peter's stolen longing. Because exile doesn't mean extinction. Because desire isn't a curse. Because growing up isn't dying—it's remembering what the island tried to forget.

This is for anyone who's ever fallen—from grace, from family, from the shape the world expected you to be. It's for the queers who learned to catch each other because no one else would.

Content Notes

Explicit sexual content (masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, first-time sexual experiences, multiple partners), transformation/body horror elements (wings being torn from body, physical transformation from fairy to human), themes of exile and trauma (expulsion from paradise, loss of innocence, forced awakening), consent and boundaries (exploration of saying no, reclamation of autonomy), found family and chosen community, queer survival themes, detailed descriptions of embodiment and physical sensation, themes of mortality and human experience (hunger, sleep, bodily functions, death), emotional distress and identity crisis, references to homophobia and street violence, discussions of belonging and displacement.

The Lore

There's extensive lore. Character backgrounds, world-building, magical systems. It's all there in the Lore section. It grows with every update. Contains spoilers, obviously. But if you want to dive deep into how Neverland works, how the mechanism of transfer functions, or hear the Diva tell the story in his own words—it's all there.

Have Fun With It

That's it. That's the post. The epilogue is free. The story is here. The lore is extensive. Have fun with it.

Something Dark Is Coming

On November 14, we're releasing Lot 722. My hardest work. Not because of explicit content—though there's plenty—but because of what it shows about systems that commodify desperation.

Lot 722 drops October 14.

Lot 722 Book Cover

Teal Weaver is eighteen. Purple hair he saved eight months to buy. Twelve years old brother. Parents drowning in generational debt that compounds faster than they can breathe. The system offers one exit: auction yourself for 365 days. Walk away with enough to erase everything.

He sells for 26.7 million euros. Becomes Lot 722. Gets renamed Purple by bored twins for branding purposes. Spends a year as livestream content for hundreds of millions while forgetting his own name. Survives. Can't go home. Finds others who can't go home. Builds something from the wreckage.

This is social commentary that won't flinch from showing you what exploitation actually looks like when you strip away the comfortable euphemisms. The sexual violence isn't gratuitous—it's the most honest way to show what the system does when it treats people as property. When it grinds them into profit.

Here's the part that makes this hard to read: this isn't that far from reality. We already sell ourselves. We call it employment. We call it the grind. We calculate whether destroying ourselves is worth keeping our families housed, fed, medicated. We already have auctions—we call them job markets. We already get renamed and rebranded for someone else's profit. We already perform for cameras, optimize ourselves for metrics, forget who we were before we learned what makes us valuable to the people who own our time.

The only difference is we use softer words. We say "human capital" instead of merchandise. We say "labor market" instead of auction. We say "career" instead of contract. But strip away the euphemisms and look at what's actually happening: you sell your body, your time, your health, your dignity—hour by hour, year by year—because the alternative is watching people you love suffer. That's not choice. That's coercion with paperwork.

Teal's world is just honest about it.

Content Notes for Lot 722: Explicit sexual content (oral sex, anal sex, penetration, masturbation, group sex, public sex, livestreamed sex), power dynamics (owner/property, dominance/submission), dehumanization (renaming, objectification, being referred to as merchandise), degradation, physical restraint, body modification (augmentations for sale), psychological manipulation, dissociation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, panic attacks, trauma responses, economic coercion, generational poverty, debt bondage, medical procedures without full autonomy, loss of identity, references to other victims who didn't survive and profanity

The sexual content is explicit and pervasive but exists in the context of systematic exploitation and coercion. This is not erotica. Not for arousal.

Don't read either if you need easy answers. If you want redemption arcs that feel good. If you need someone to tell you the system is fixable.

After the Streams: When Silence Breaks

After the Streams Book Cover

A new book. Nine perspectives. One question: What happens when you can't unhear the truth?

After the Streams is out now—and we're giving it away for free.

Why? Because some truths need to spread faster than capitalism can commodify them.

This is dystopian allegory that names what late capitalism does to people. Systems that grind up humans while calling it opportunity. The silence that protects those systems. What happens when that silence breaks.

This collection follows nine people whose lives collided with the testimony of Teal Weaver, who got ground through the machine and came out the other side refusing to stay silent. When a purple-haired survivor started streaming about legal slavery, naming the complicit, the world had to listen.

Some people changed. One got worse. Some had been screaming all along.

Start Here

After the Streams is Book 2 in The Returned series, but you should read it first. These nine stories show the impact of Teal's truth from every angle: the almost-victim, the sibling, the worker, the artist, the buyer, the expert, the family, the survivor. You'll understand what happened—and why it matters—before diving into Teal's full story in Lot 722.

Content Note

This book addresses legal slavery, systemic exploitation, trauma, complicity, and survival. Restraint is maintained—no graphic depictions—but the honesty is unflinching. Please read the full content warning before diving in.

For readers who need more reasons to eat the rich.

Two ADHD Queers, One Berlin Night, and a Lot of Questions About Whether Pissing Counts as Praxis

Hacking Hearts releases October 17.

Hacking Hearts Book Cover

Kevin lives in a Neukölln apartment that's half server farm, half stray cat sanctuary, perched above an anarchist squat. Levin is a performance artist with perfect eyeliner and a desperate need for things to stay under control. They meet on a Berlin S-Bahn platform at night. Eye contact turns into stolen cigarettes. Stolen cigarettes turn into an alley behind trash containers. An alley turns into four days of silence that feels like withdrawal.

Here's what happens when two ADHD brains collide at full speed: they can't shut up. Not during sex. Not during the philosophical tangents that interrupt sex. Not while debating whether pissing on each other counts as reclaiming public space or if that's just what they're telling themselves to justify the kink.

Kevin debates Deleuze with his mouth full. Levin thinks about Marina Abramović mid-orgasm. They argue about late-stage capitalism, commodification of intimacy, and whether dignity is a bourgeois construct—all while one of them is on their knees. Every conversation spirals. Every touch comes with theory attached. Every moment of intimacy doubles as both dare and manifesto.

This is the kind of messy where you can't tell if you're falling for someone or just addicted to the way they short-circuit every defense mechanism you spent years building. The kind where control and chaos keep trading places until you forget which one you were supposed to be.

Explicit. Chaotic. Unapologetically queer.

No fade-to-black. No sanitized kink. Just two beautiful disasters who can't stop talking, can't sit still, and definitely can't keep their hands off each other while simultaneously deconstructing everything that's happening between them.

You want erotica where the characters debate whether androids dream of sucking dick while actually sucking dick? Where watersports come with anarchist theory? Where every sexual encounter is both intensely hot and intellectually exhausting? This is it.

Read it in one sitting. Probably with one hand. Definitely with your brain fully engaged—because these two won't let you turn it off.

Find it at your favorite dealer

Content Notes

Explicit sexual content (oral sex, anal sex, public sex, masturbation), watersports (piss play), BDSM elements (power dynamics, dominance/submission, degradation, impact play), ADHD representation (racing thoughts, hyperfocus, impulsivity, constant tangents during sex), smoking, profanity, discussions of anti-capitalist theory and anarchist praxis, references to hacking/cybersecurity culture, characters who physically cannot stop talking during intimate moments, philosophical debates as foreplay, casual references to Berlin squat culture and nightlife.

Just two chaotic queers with racing brains and zero boundaries figuring out what happens when the person who unravels you is exactly the person you can't stay away from.
