Vaela (she/they) and Micah (they/them) are a polyamorous trans and ace nonbinary author pair. They have been dating long distance for three years now, and in 2023 celebrated their first year as authors together on the 21st of March, the book birthday of their debut, THE GIFT OF BLOOD.
Most of their time together is spent writing books while sitting in voice chats, because they live in an endstage capitalist society, and "regular work" is literally socially accepted torture. Micah is the wealthy patron of the team, which means they encourage Vaela to write while she laments about living a total of 6400 kilometres away from the person she loves most dearly.
When they're not working, they voraciously consume queer media such as DnD podcasts, streams, TV shows, movies and the like. When they really have free time, which is once in a blue moon, they play videogames together.
Micah doesn't know this, but Vaela also spends half that time trying to come up with nice things to say to Micah or to write in the letters she composes despite being able to message them in seconds. What Vaela doesn't know is that Micah thinks she's a cute, and a nerd, and so very romantic.
Vaela’s ultimate dream in life is to simply be so wealthy that she can sponsor other artists with no questions asked, no expectations, and encourage others to create more and more art.
When it comes to their specific identities, Vaela is a transfem nonbinary butch lesbian with PTSD, amnesia and ADHD, who really decided to pick a few extra struggles by representing all the same in the subject matters of her books. Oh, and she’s polyamorous. And a relationship anarchist, which makes that somehow both less and more complicated. (If you struggle with ADHD Mirroring and your friends wonder if you’re flirting with them, just imagine asking yourself that 90% of the time.)
Micah is a nonbinary pan- and demisexual person with ADHD, dyslexia and a few other learning disabilities that were never specified. Oh, also Vaela’s glucose guardian. They don’t have as many problems as Vaela and they’ll always be there for them with a blanket and tea.
