One Disruption.
Two energies.
Queer love.
Hi, I’m svl yisanliu, though my name isn’t actually svl yisanliu; it’s a nickname from my teenage years that stuck. I live in Rotterdam (not originally from here) and work in IT. I write and illustrate MM romance fantasy set in the After Climate Disruption world, where two energies emerged and changed all that existed.
This is the ACD series: queer characters, post-climate romance fantasy, political intrigue, slow-burn M/M love, and hand-painted art.
I love creating these books because I love figuring out the after-climate-disruption romance stories with all the trouble and the final catharsis.
The world starts below.

Welcome to my Blog
I love sketching and drawing, and I love writing. I’ve even grown to love editing: I cut more than I add now. On the blog I share all of it: fantasy art, romance writing process, queer character deep dives, and whatever else emerges from the ACD world. And since I read as widely as I write, you’ll also find reviews and personal reflections on MM romance fantasy, queer fantasy, danmei, and BL: stories from different cultures and traditions that inspire, surprise, or give me complicated feelings.
