In the words of the author, How Best to Use a Sword is "a fantasy world of boys on generic magical quests getting distracted by other boys. Or, a world in which I subvert, upend, break or otherwise fuck around with the tropes of the epic fantasy genre, primarily by adding lots of gayness.

All set in the same world and the same timeline, so there is overlap in themes, places, supporting characters, etc. between stories. However, the stories are all independent of one another and have their own plots and storylines. My goal is that a reader can read any or all of the stories in which they are interested and skip those in which they are not without missing out on the overall story."
