    Summary

    Nestled somewhere quiet in the Sierra Madre Line is a former penal colony named Grace, proudly in operation since the 4600s. When the Third Committee took power and abolished the operation of such colonies, Grace's administration did not calmly and quickly submit the required paperwork to begin dissolution. Instead, they decided they would do nothing. Forever.

    When Union rediscovers the world in 5016u and makes contact with the administration, the situation rapidly deteriorates into armed conflict. As the centuries-old system is torn down before the eyes of the people crushed beneath its weight, two women with a complicated relationship make a snap decision that changes their lives.

    This is a story about repressed feelings, soul-searching, suppressed trauma, and recovery in the face of cultural shock and emotional growth. It's about queerness, belonging, burning passion, delicious friction, and inexperienced but very eager women trying to figure out what the hell they want. It's about unsupervised lesbians in mechs doing very irresponsible things.

    I hope you like it!

    Summary

    Sasha’s humanity chains her to something weak in herself, while her inhuman mind hungers for more.

    Luci wants to set her free, but might break her in the process.

    Sasha is a gene-edited superhuman under the thumb of Harrison Armory, the biggest corpo-state in explored space.

    Luci is a shackled fragment of an otherworldly being who is forced to fight humanity's battles; unhindered by concepts like empathy or love.

    Both of them want one thing more than anything else. Freedom.

    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”
