The end of the world isn't quite such a big deal, considering humanity's steep decline since "the Great Death" forty years previous. Esther's decided not to make a big deal out of it.

She doesn't expect Hannah, though. Hannah complicates things.

BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNGIHT SOIL / BIRD BOX crossover fanfiction, if written by Becky Chambers

The world ends, but people keep living. Now two women separated by time and space must figure out how to fix what's broken... or, if it's even worth fixing.

Its like WE EXPECTED MORE in pink neon. Cool lady characters all on one side, a map of pa's telephone poles and an alien doing heart hands on the other. Ever since liliths husband calmly walked off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, lilith has wanted nothing more than to follow. So when shes contacted by the mysterious "Hannah" - human liaison to an alien Alexis seeking to gauge the potential worth of humanity- liliths eager to involve herself in something bigger than her own grief. Lilith and Hannah's first meeting quickly goes south when Hannah accidentally reactivates the virus that nearly ended humanity firty 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 human civilization.

It says "we expected more" in pink neon! There's some fascinating characters surrounding this, including an alien making heart hands. The background is a map of telephone poles in PA "Ever since Lilith's husband calmly walked off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, Lilith has wanted nothing more than to follow. So when shes contacted by the mysterious "Hannah" - human liaison to an alien species seeking to gauge the potential worth of humanity - Lilith's eager to involve herself in something bigger than her own grief."

"WE EXPECTED MORE" in neon, a map of Pennsylvania's telephone poles in background, alien making heart hands in front of this. a few pictures of some women looking like badass a plus characters Ever since Lilith’s husband calmly walked off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, Lilith has wanted nothing more than to follow. So when she’s contacted by the mysterious “Hannah” — human liaison to an alien species seeking to gauge the potential worth of humanity — Lilith’s eager to involve herself in something bigger than her own grief.

not enough talk about the severe jump of going from the final stages of editing one book to the baby fresh new drafting of the next one

kill the editor before you start if you wanna get it done

this is fine🫠

little skylight, and Mom would be screaming in the next room, and she'd stop shivering, eventaully, and speak to me calm and slow. "See that one?" she'd say. "That's the SCIENCE WORD." "Really?" "Nah." "Oh, wait, you lied?" "Course. You make it easy, Red."

Red always thought the world would end at once. A great collapse! Zombies, aliens, whatever. What she didn't count on was being one of the last 25% surviving after the flu, now expected to pick up the pieces and make something of them.

I could've chosen a lot of gifs to rep We Expected More. Aliens! Friendship! Overgrown and drowned-out cities!

This one punched me in the heart, though. Just--the world is over, has been over. But we got this Tamagotchi to work!

That's what it's about, y'all.

A bunch of people partying on top of a building with an illustration of a ufo up above. the words over this are: Chapter 1: Lilith "Fire" "Survivors are eaters. Eating means killing." I was feeling mighty clever before Trent spoke up. "What about, like, carrots? Are we counting carrots as victims, here?"

well I officially DO NOT have a future in visual art

Cool butch is Ruth, tragically sincere
Then Lilith, pov #1, determined and trying to die just a bit
Pov #2 next, Hannah, just getting loud enough to be heard
Then we got Esme on her right, trans radical librarian

Forty years after the fall of the internet, four women (and one genderless alien) embark on a journey that's one part saving the world, ninety-nine parts teaching each other how to survive when every reason they would've named to live is gone.

Helloooo #QUEERPIT!

WE EXPECTED MORE is an #A #SPF / #SF novel standing proud at 82k words~

A #foundfamily queer friendship story starring four women (and one genderless alien) as they traverse a flooded ( #CLI - FI, #D) landscape on a mission to save Earth / live after losing "everything."
Several TVs depicting two women, an alien in a field making a heart with their hands, an overgrown telescope dome, and some bones overgrown with moss and flowers image of a woman with a large birth mark and the words "Hannah has spent her life as a human pet—surviving by obeying, yet craving autonomy. She’s glimpsed freedom in the arms of her beloved alien handler, and now wants more. So when offered a status upgrade in exchange for playing liaison between her alien overlords and Lilith, their chosen representative for Earth, Hannah’s inclined to comply." image of a different woman and the words "Ever since Lilith’s husband jumped off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, Lilith has dreamed of following them. As the heir to a conservative cult ruling the flooded remains of Philadelphia, her future feels doomed and devoid of choice. Hannah contacting her on behalf of an alien species is all it takes for Lilith to jump at the chance for change." image of an alien making a heart with their hands and the words "Lilith and Hannah’s first meeting quickly goes south when Hannah accidentally reactivates one of the bio-chips infected with a virus that nearly ended humanity. Yet rather than killing her for her failure, the alien leader offers Hannah a secret amendment to the mission: destroy the last remaining Earthen Hive Core. Succeed, and before Sol is harvested, humanity is spared. Fail, and humanity perishes when Earth goes dark."
