Soft science fiction stakes
Greenhouse work, dome systems, careful repairs, found family, and a love story that treats gentleness like a skill.
Some places help you grow. Some people help you stay.
Wren left a life built on threat assessment and exit counts behind on Meridian Station. Thistledown, four hundred people under a dome and a thousand seedlings deep in first planting, does not run on any protocol she knows.
Neither does Asa Devereux, the settlement's quiet head grower, who notices things the way she does, just gentler. When the dome's growlight system starts failing in ways neither of them can fix alone, Wren finds herself doing something she has not done in fourteen years: staying still long enough to let someone in.
