This story is amazing. It's so delightfully and unapologetically queer, so wholesome and sweet. I love the various rambling tangents that Marin goes on, about biology, etymology, and so on, that aren't simply "infodumping", but add important context and add depth to characterization. Another thing is that in this story the author didn't shy away from politics and queer history, and has a more thorough understand of it than most other authors on this website seem to put into their works. The way the author uses the queer experience of alienation to have the protagonist empathize with actual extra-terrestrials is brilliant, as is the exploration of how the alien species functions biologically and socially (I don't know how much of this is the work of the author, and how much is the work of Octavia Butler's as I have not read the Xenogenesis series).
I'll be eagerly awaiting updates, and should this be published, I'll be first in line to buy a copy.
