One Disruption.
Two energies.
Queer love.
Hi, I’m svl yisanliu. I write and illustrate an 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 fantasy, political intrigue, slow-burn love, and hand-painted art.

Welcome to my Blog
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 love creating MM romantasy books because I love figuring out the after-climate-disruption romance stories with all the trouble and the final catharsis.
I love sketching and drawing, and I love writing. I’ve even grown to love editing. While working on my second MM romantasy series, the Crystaler, I discovered I cut more than I add now.
This blog is where 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.
