Bee and Moth, by B and Z (slice-of-life hypertext, 2022?)

[lb_lee]

"I am a bee, living with a moth. We live between two worlds—our inner world, where we interact with each other, and the outer world, where we interact with everyone else. We share a body out there. It looks human, so we have to pretend to be human. We also pretend to be a single person, just to make things easier. We have a few friends who know our secrets—that we're not human, that we're more than one. Some of them are even just like us. But for the most part… we're just a pair of insects trying to make it in a human world."

Blurb: Short vignettes about being plural and nonhuman. Bee and Moth make food, gifts, and cuddle. Moth is nervous around people, and Bee encourages him to come out of his shell.

Why is it worth your time?: It's cute, sweet, and quiet. Also, it's short and free!

Plural Tags: nonhuman [bee, moth], switching, no trauma discussion, queerplatonic

Okay! And while y'all are here, are there any other tags you might like to see added to the entry? (Or in general? I'm not from otherkin, alterhuman, or daemonist cultures, so I know my tag system has bias!)

(It's nice to meet you, by the way! :D)
