We Expected More

_{Optimistic Post-Dystopian, Queer Found Family Story, Sapphic Romance, Alien Romance, Cli-Fi that’s heavier on the Fi, Speculative}

Ever since her husband calmly walked off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, Esther has wanted nothing more than to follow them. Forty years post-collapse, the survivors of the Great Death are barely hanging on as it is. The choice to die is looking saner every day. Then, Esther’s contacted by the mysterious “Hannah” — self-proclaimed human liaison to an alien species seeking to gauge the potential worth of humanity.

Esther’s eager to involve herself in something bigger than her own grief, and Hannah seems to provide it. But what Hannah’s made to look like opportunity has long since been her own personal cage. Gaining Esther’s compliance gives Hannah a chance at all she’s ever wanted — something almost like autonomy, as well as a life with her devoted lover/handler, 46.

Esther and Hannah’s first meeting quickly goes south when Hannah accidentally reactivates the virus that nearly ended humanity forty years ago. Yet rather than killing her for her failure, the alien leader offers Hannah a secret amendment to the mission: destroy the “core” that contains all memory before the fall of Earthly civilization. Only then, with their history a blank slate, can humanity be trusted with a future.
