To wit, I have COVID. For the first time, as far as I know.

Aaargh. Sympathies. I hope it stays very mild.

Can anyone recommend me things? I'm more likely to get to books and podcasts than anything visual, but all recs are welcome. Preferably fairly lighthearted, preferably queer.

I mean, obviously I'm going to be predictable and rec Prophet by Sin Blaché and Helen Macdonald. I wouldn't quite call it "lighthearted" because it deals with its share of trauma, but it's huge fun, extremely readable in a "very good fanfic" way, and very queer, and I do think it might be your cup of tea. Big sf/thriller adventure, great slow-burn romance.

M/m, approximately (one of the characters uses he/him pronouns but self-describes as "not quite a man, but not a woman either"; he counts himself as a man sometimes but exclusively for purposes of gay sex and sarcasm).

ETA: apologies if I've already recced it at you/you didn't like it.
