"Stories set in a light fantasy world (Age of Sail + limited magic). Generally queer, generally whumpy, all angst. Can be read in any order" —Original description on AO3

Tales from Netheredge is a fantasy gay erotica series by J.M. Blackthorne, premiered on Archive of Our Own in late 2019. It is a collection of (mostly) loosely connected stories sharing the same setting — the titular Netheredge, a region in a late medieval fantasy world.

Currently consists of:

• Bright Flame: A ship's pillow boy helps a captured rebel, and his life changes forever.
• Son of Tears (originally titled Depravity): The bright young chancellor of a small country on the brink of war finds himself in an odd relationship with the court mage, which seems to benefit more than just the kingdom.
• His Tribute: A nobleman's son is unexpectedly claimed by the revered local hero as part of his yearly tribute.
• Jewel of the Harem: A simple-minded harem guard becomes a king's favourite's favourite, which lands him in the middle of an international political intrigue. (Set 20 years after the previous stories.)
• Warprize: A well-regarded Calistan mercenary is appointed as a guardian to a royal slave, but when they meet, the slave isn't who he expected him to be. (Set 10 years before the beginning of Bright Flame. On hiatus.)

It also has an appendix for any additional materials.

The first and second books, slightly expanded, have been published for Amazon Kindle. An official website of the series exists, as well as a Tumblr and a Twitter.
