*** NOTES & WARNINGS ***
⚙️ This story contains transgender and non-binary characters as well as nonconventional gender roles. It also contains graphic scenes of sex. If any of this isn't for you, please back away slowly.
⚙️ This story takes place in a steampunk world of my own creation. The year 1937 would usually place it in dieselpunk territory, but this is a place where steam technology is still predominant.
⚙️ The gender-bending tag on this story references psychology changes or awakenings rather than physical gender swapping.
⚙️ For those of you picking this up for the sex, please note you're my kind of people! But also note it will take several chapters to build up to it. It starts in a very straight-laced culture but this will change, dramatically. However, it will take a while, so don't be too disappointed. <<less

This series is currently being rewritten. There's a lot I didn't know at the time was kinda fucked up in the premise itself concerning Ryudo, especially with the anti-asian violence that's been going on since the pandemic started.... more>>

Gonna stay in my lane for the protagonist of the new version, though that doesn't mean I won't have asian characters. Just maybe not an asian protagonist taken advantage of by a white cult. <<less

Theo Altair has a death wish.... more>>

He has tried everything he can think of to cut his life short but he can never seem to get it right, and somehow he always manages to survive. His latest attempt nearly destroys his ship, which houses a sentient A.I. named Shade who is not particularly thrilled with Theo’s antics, and the duo is forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby farming moon to make repairs.

There Theo meets Dimitri, a farmer-cum-engineer with a penchant to sing away his worries. The two form an unlikely friendship and when Theo tries to run away from his feelings, Dimitri isn’t quick to let him go so easily. He takes it upon himself to join Theo on his flight to the next star system — with some help from Shade — and Theo is forced to face his feelings head on.

But there are some things lurking in space that are more frightening than letting yourself be cared for.
