About Twinkerbell
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 too must fall.
The Story
Twinkerbell is an ongoing serial novella (~35,000 words) that reimagines the Peter Pan mythos through a queer, erotic lens. Peter Pan is the reason for everything—the source of the fairies, the catalyst for their fall, the origin of the story—but he is not the main character.
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.
The story begins with an epilogue: the moment of Robin's fall. When Peter's shadow carrying a fragment of desire Peter cannot bear touches Twinkerbell, paradise fractures. The fairy who once knew only joy and play becomes aware of his body, his hunger, his want. Neverland, built on eternal innocence, cannot contain this awakening. It expels him.
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.
The World
Neverland
Neverland is a machine of eternal childhood, running on joy and forgetfulness. It's a beautiful, suffocating prison where nothing grows up. When Peter Pan feels something forbidden—desire, longing, the dangerous warmth of wanting—Neverland cannot allow it. The island has ways of preserving innocence, of keeping the eternal boy eternal.
When Peter's shadow touches a fairy, it transfers that forbidden feeling. The fairy becomes a vessel for Peter's longing, carrying what he cannot bear. After seven days, the weight becomes too much. The fairy falls—not in punishment, but by necessity.
Pixie Hollow
Pixie Hollow is both a place in Neverland where fairies are born, and the name of a derelict bookstore in Berlin where the fallen land. The bookstore exists in the cracks: perpetually for rent but never leased, perpetually condemned but never demolished. It's protected by the Diva's perception filter—a glamour that makes bureaucracy forget, landlords look away, and cops lose their nerve.
By day, it's a free library and shelter. By night, it becomes a confessional: poetry slams, open mics, found family rehearsal. The building breathes, the books rearrange themselves, and those who truly need it can always find the door.
The Characters so far
Robin Twinkle (Twinkerbell)
Once a fairy born from Peter's laughter, now a boy learning to be human. He moves like gravity's a rumor—limbs too light, hips too honest. Lean muscle on a narrow frame, platinum hair gone feral with violet threads. Two scars rip his shoulder blades open—the memory of wings.
Robin is chaos dressed in fishnets. He feels in all caps. Sex, for him, isn't conquest—it's translation. A way to turn sensation into meaning. He's kind but not gentle, curious but not cautious. He learns to human through collisions.
He carries the Diva's perception filter—a gift that bends reality just enough to keep him alive in the cracks. Cash registers skip him, landlords forget him, cops look away. It's not deception; it's mercy.
The Diva
The collector of exiles, the narrator of inconvenient truths, the patron ghost of every queer child who ever thought falling meant failing. He bends perception, catches the falling, and teaches them to land. He's the story's conscience, its unreliable narrator, its queer memory.
Voice: velvet soaked in smoke, punctuated by laughter that knows too much. Humor as shield, tenderness as weapon. Wears trauma like couture—not to hide it, but to make it sparkle.
His origins are a mystery—one that will be revealed in time.
Themes & Anchors
Pleasure is the proof of embodiment. Desire without apology. Witness over salvation. Staying as bravery. The telling is the spell.
The story explores: - Exile and belonging: What happens when paradise rejects you? - Desire and awakening: How does the body learn to want? - Found family: How do the fallen build homes? - Queer survival: The beauty and ache of after. - Embodiment: Learning to inhabit a body that can break, hunger, and feel.
The Arc
The story unfolds in seven parts, beginning with an epilogue and ending with a coda. It follows Robin's journey from falling to landing, from exile to belonging, from fairy to human. Each part explores a different lesson: hunger and discovery, curiosity without shame, the sacred power of saying no, the tenderness of chosen family, the terror and beauty of being seen, the choice to stay when everything in you wants to run, and finally—the revelation that makes everything make sense.
The arc is not linear. It spirals. It circles back. It asks questions that don't have easy answers. It's a story about learning to inhabit a body that can break, hunger, and feel. About finding home in the cracks. About what happens when paradise rejects you and you have to build something new from the wreckage.
Content & Style
Tone: Lyrical, dark, sensual, meta-fictional. The Diva narrates with direct address, speaking to the reader as a witness and co-conspirator.
NSFW Scenes: Each scene (600–1,200 words) serves character growth, embodiment, and emotional revelation. Sex is written through desire, not apology. The beauty of bodies as prayer, touch as language, climax as revelation.
