If you got to the end of Stranger Things and said "I wish I had more stories with a gay sorcerer from a small town fighting an eldritch power while crafting a found family," then I've got you covered. Three series, urban/rural and high fantasy available however you read.

This is absolutely batshit and amazing. I didn’t even know that some ant species have to mate with a different species to produce workers (!!!) but they are literally mating with another species, ripping out their own DNA, and producing a clone of the male they mates with. That is NUTS
The weird new ant paper that shows queens laying eggs of a completely different species has me thinking that more species are probably cloning sperm in their spermathecae than we’d thought.
After all, most queens only mate once and cloning would be a great mechanism for keeping the party going.
