The Jorogumo by Stella Rainbow

Two fated mates bond over their mutual love of comic books, but when one of them discovers his new friend isn’t quite human, will their friendship end or turn into something more?

Haruto
My first visit to the human realm in decades was… memorable. I visited a comic book store, and made a new friend. Liam was just as geeky as me, and while he might seem scary to humans, all I saw were his sweet smiles and kind gestures.
Discovering he was my mate was a surprise, but when Liam didn’t react the way I expected when I accidentally revealed I was a jorogumo, hope unfurled. Maybe he would be the one to accept me exactly as I was.

Liam
As a comic book geek and lover of fiction, I was excited when Haruto revealed a world of magic to me. Visiting the Sanctuary felt like a dream come true, but more than anything, being with Haruto was what truly felt like a dream.
Haruto was sweet, kind, and so very good to me. He took care of me the way I’d always hoped someone would, and it didn’t hurt that he was so much stronger than me. Falling in love with him wouldn’t be a hardship at all.
