LOL that title. Keanu doesn't deserve that! I did find out about scammer hubs not too long ago, I think from either Steven Colbert or John Oliver did a segment on them. Really scary stuff. The idea that people are terrible enough to even come up with a setup like that makes me feel sick.
I read a historical fantasy novel you might like, by the way: Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. It's structured like found pages of an academic journal written by the title character, taking notes of the local customs and superstitions of the place she's exploring to get more familiar with the Fae that hang out there. Fae are an undisputed fact in this universe, and she's one of the premiere experts on it, like a fantastical archeologist. There is a romance, but it's paced perfectly for me, and there's a couple of casually queer characters I wasn't expecting, who are unquestionably welcomed by their community. I know our reading tastes don't always align, but that one made me think of you!
