I’m Xeni Davyd, a queer author of "The Valdai Romance" and asexual romantic prose, showing that love can burn hotter without sex. I write primarily in Russian, with bilingual Russian-English expression. My romances focus on touch, closeness, and emotional intensity – hugs, kisses, tender gestures, and the raw heat of connection. Too often, asexual love is dismissed as bland or invisible. I write to prove it is anything but – powerful, passionate, and profoundly alive.

I craft Queer & Literary Fiction, diving deep into the subtle psychology of Slow Burn and Emotional Romance. I am dedicated to exploring the LGBTQIA+ spectrum in both languages, reclaiming the Russian language for queer narratives that are currently suppressed, and bridging them with global queer experiences.

Key Themes & Dynamics:

🏳️‍🌈 Identity & Attraction: Love between boys, young adults, and men (MLM / Achillean), as well as Non-binary characters and Enby x Man (NBLM) dynamics. My stories explore Toric and Viramoric perspectives with deep empathy.

💜 Asexual Spectrum: Asexual Romance, Homoromantic / Androromantic Ace experiences, Alloromantic Asexual narratives, and the nuances of being a Sensual Ace.

✨ Intimacy Beyond the Sexual: A focus on soft intimacy, skin hunger, tactile joy, heavy cuddling, and the vital importance of physical affection.

⚖️ Love Reimagined: Queerplatonic Relationships (QPR), Relationship Anarchy, Egalitarian Love, and the beauty of Balanced Power.

🕊️ Mission: Reclaiming the Russian language for queer narratives that are currently suppressed.

I believe in Asexual Hedonism and the aesthetics of the moment - from simmering Emotional Tension to the "Finality of a Kiss" (Kissing As Climax). My characters seek Equal Footing and solidarity, transforming Sensual Non-sexual closeness into a supreme form of passion.

Visualizing characters is an essential part of world-building, especially when dealing with unique psychology and xenobiology. Today, I am thrilled to share the official portraits of the protagonists from my alternative 19th-century bilingual novel. 🎩 Virgil Carter - An engineer of an ancient, highly advanced non-human race. His unique xenobiology makes him inherently cold, yet he suffers from this inner frost, secretly searching for a psychological warmth he never truly hopes to find. 🌿 Januar Walday - A lonely romantic from Valdai, dreaming of a supersensual intimacy and tactile saturation - a deep, transcendent connection completely free from mundane physical intercourse. 📖 If you want to dive deeper into their backgrounds and see how their paths cross, check out the detailed character summary I posted previously. The first 50 chapters of this bilingual (Russian/English) asexual slow-burn are completely free to read on Medium
