{START HERE} Little Broken Moon List 🌛

Table of Contents

Please note: This Substack, as of January 12th, 2026, has transitioned from The Violent Sun ☀️🥀 serialized fiction and into🌜Little Broken Moons🌛novelettes (4,000+ word short stories) and poems due to The Violent Sun☀️🥀 being adapted into my debut fantasy novel! 😊 So please enjoy the posted and upcoming short stories below and do not be confused by the comments that are left. Those are from The Violent Sun☀️🥀 (whose first chapter is still available below for you to read!). Thank you so much for your support and, as always, I am beyond happy that you are here. 😊

Hell my love, welcome to the delicately shattered and whimsical world of 🌜Little Broken Moons🌛.

Get comfy, grab a blanket, maybe some tea, and dive into the many worlds of fantastical thinking and feeling and remember, as always, to be gentle with yourself. We are all in a state of miraculous being.

🌘

🌜Little Broken Moons🌛 is a space dedicated to emotionally raw, imaginative, and heartfelt novelettes and intimately woven poems all written by me, Toi’ya (pronounced too-ee-ya) while I continue to pursue my career as a multi-hyphenated artist whilst writing my debut fantasy novel, The Violent Sun☀️🥀

So dive in below and get engrossed in imaginative worlds inspired by my ever evolving humanity as a Black American Woman and the various tv and films that have inspired me.

All creative work is magic and all creative magic wants, is to be released.

This is my space, my little black hole in the internet, where I say come in, get lost, and be free.

🌘

Please note that due to my work existing as a space for me to unravel trauma and find healing in the stories I create, every piece is unapologetic in its approach and authenticity. So please be advised and heed all trigger warnings if need be. Trigger warnings for each piece can be found at the top of each work but the most common ones include but are not limited to: SA, self harm, su*cide, physical and mental ab*se, war, k*lling, d*ath, violence, smoking, drinking, drugs.

🌘

Below you will find a list of posted works and their links. Please use this list to maneuver through the Substack for easier access to each work. 😊 As new works are created, this page will be updated.

🌘

Thank you again for being here. I cannot express enough what if feels like to have readers such as you supporting my work. It means the world. Above and beyond.

And always remember that you are loved.
