Major Aula Reed is a Canadian fighter pilot, veteran astronaut, and closeted bisexual. She's stationed on the second International Lunar Base or ILUB-2 with seven other crewmates. To be separated from Earth means facing radiation, meteorites, and equipment failure while under constant public scrutiny.

For Aula, it also means struggling with memories of ILUB-1: the worst disaster in space exploration since the shuttle era. While she tries not to let her first mission overshadow her second, the Moon is an unforgiving place. It only takes one mistake, no matter how small, for history to repeat itself.
 
This is a story of the near future informed by the lives of today's astronauts, whose triumphs and tragedies are immortalized in the public eye.All Rights Reserved

Calming A Racing Heart by gadreams1952

Joshua was born with an emptiness inside him. A physical hollow that occupied half of his existence. No one else could see it, but he was constantly aware of its presence . Every day his life was plagued by the hollowness, never feeling whole. When he turned sixteen it got worse. An extreme longing took up residence in the center of that emptiness. A longing so intense it caused his heart to physically speed up uncontrollably. Following his businessman father from planet to planet, he spent ten long years searching for something, anything that would fill the void in his life. Nothing he found appeased the longing or filled the emptiness. Nothing, that is, until on the planet Casentell, far from his home world of Earth, Joshua met Larcin. Larcin was an alien from the planet Joong, a planet totally shrouded in mystery. Other than their physical appearance, which was the same as every other bipedal humanoid race in the universe, virtually nothing was known about them or the planet they came from. One crucial factor set them apart from every other race. They were the only race of people with the ability to navigate the starships that made interstellar travel possible. Without a Joong navigator at the helm, even the mightiest starship was stuck within the confines of its home solar systems. Larcin was one of these navigators. What could possibly draw these two men together? And what would be the consequences of this fateful meeting?

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

Tales of the Pink Mist by KaydaCharlemaigne

After her girlfriend's death, a cargo pilot turns her back on humanity, setting course out of the galaxy. Happenstance changes her plans. Now, armed with the hottest ship in the military's arsenal, along with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal, Quillan Margoles is out to raise a little hell. Graphic Sexual Situations, Profanity. EXCERPT: Quillan slammed the accelerator to the stops. Arrowing in, her focus was wholly on the open door, her hands making minute corrections to trajectory and speed. The Hawk's Wing shot forth at more than twenty-three thousand meters per second. Either she would succeed, or she would die. No leeway. "Ship, prepare for collision. At this rate of speed, I'll pass out when we get inside. Full forward defense shields. Full cockpit buffer. Zero shields anywhere else." She felt the slight pressure increase as the cockpit's internal anti bounce buffer engaged. "Full brake!" she screamed when the targeting meter flashed red, indicating an imminent impact. Collision alarms. Door. Light. Wall. Noise. Dark. Shit. Too fast.

The Princess And The Criminal by Wamillust

Noah Reed is a princess. Her parents made sure of that. From piano lessons, to dance lessons, to etiquette lessons, to modelling lessons. It didn't matter that she was the fifty-second in line to the Prigairy throne. She had to be prepared. All fifty-one of those before her could drop dead at any second, apparently. She would do it though, all the lessons and all the pageants. She never lost a single one( If we do not count Miss dance star-she could never dance to save her life. But we don't talk about Miss Dance star) The one thing Noah did that was not expected, was fall in love with Sawyer Brun. A love that ended before it had begun. Sawyer Brun loved Noah Reed. The way oranges are orange(Ignoring the fact that some oranges are green, some yellow), but love between a princess and a vagabond was never meant to be. And when Sawyer took the fall for her brother's crime to prevent him facing his third strike, the two realised just how doomed their romance was. But Sawyer's out now, and Noah is too old to participate in any more pageants. Second chances are fragile.

The Watcher [Alien Nation #1] by CarinaHelix

[#WATTYS2018 LONGLIST] On Earth, a conspiracy theorist stumbles across the wreckage of a spacecraft. There are two corpses in strange uniforms. One is an alien - the other is not. In space, a young human agent watches in horror as the images are beamed around the world, putting the entire project to integrate humanity into the Commonwealth of Orion at risk. And across the darkness between stars, an alien armada gathers its forces, and aims them right at Earth. Deep in a cave on a remote island lies the key to everything; a small beacon containing the directions to the Hub, the crossroads of the Commonwealth. If the aliens find it and use it to access the Commonwealth's complex network of Starbridges linking its worlds together, the rest of the galaxy will be at their fingertips. Only one person knows where the beacon lies... ...for now.

♤LOVE IN LOW ORBIT♡ [ GxG] by HeartstringsTales

💫 Story Introduction: They gave us ten days. Ten days to collaborate on a groundbreaking astrobiology project that could change the way humanity sees the universe. Ten days to deliver perfection, under pressure, at NASA, with the world watching. It should've been easy-at least for someone like her. Dr. Iris Vale was everything I wasn't. Sunlight in sneakers. Laughter in a lab coat. The kind of person who hugged too tight and believed in the good in everyone. Head of the astrobiologist department And me? I was Dr. Aroura Caelum. Cold. Calculated. Closed off. A woman carved from caution, shaped by scars. I didn't do warm. I didn't do smiles. And I definitely didn't do love. But in the silence between microscope slides and midnight equations, Iris started to chip away at the walls I'd spent years building. With every unexpected question, every joke I tried not to laugh at, she pulled me closer to the parts of myself I thought were long dead. This wasn't supposed to be a story about healing. Or falling. But somehow... it became both. It does not have any heartbreaks or intense seperation. The story just captures their adorable sweet journey navigating their feelings!!!!!

Shoshone Station: The Galactic Consortium season 2 by RJEliason

Less than a year ago, they arrived over earth's sky. They call themselves the Galactic Consortium and they are human, or at least, simian - from the same genetic line as humans. They claim to have terraformed this planet centuries ago to serve as a base for their exploration of this galaxy. What happened to the settlers, why none of us remember this, remains a mystery. For America the concerns are more immediate. Will the Consortium accept our independence? Shoshone Station is the first joint enterprise, a solar power, space station parked in geostationary orbit over Denver, Colorado. It's been "gifted" to America, but as Sherman Lannister takes command he wonders just how much control the new American crew will really have. After all, what do they know about running a space station? For Sophia, a homeless transgender youth from Denver, the station is a second chance at a new life. But what will she do living amongst the stars?
