The House of the Red Balconies by AJ Demas (Sword Dance, Honey and Pepper) was absolutely delightful! Hylas comes to Tykanos to build an aqueduct. He meets Zo, a courtesan of the "tea house" where he lodges.

As usual, this story takes place in an invented world inspired by Ancient Greece, and brilliantly mixes politics and domesticity.

There's major m/m and minor f/f. Zo has a disability with some good days and some bad days. He often walks with a crutch.

The first episode of the GL Thai drama Petrichor was excellent! Inspector Tul investigates murders with the help of Medical examiner Dr Ran.

It's actually sapphic (2 different couples-to-be) and much better than the forgettable Rizzoli and Isles. It has a lovely start (after the murder scene, I mean) with the radio announcing marriage equality in Thailand and Dr Ran catching the bouquet at a wedding between two men. <3

It's available legally and for free on iQiyi.
