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.
