Starlit Embassy

A Slow-Burn Political Sci-Fi Romance

ELLIS: When the summit rooms go dark and treaties die like blown candles, the first thought is always the same: not again. The Proxima ghosts are not only mine; they echo through the hallways of every delegation. The station hums with secrets, and I have a briefcase full of them—old mistakes I never wanted to relive.

LIRA: And when the machines themselves start to twist the facts, clinical training offers no comfort. I patch people back together and learn too late that the wounds run deeper than anatomy. We found Stella because of a mistake. We kept her because she showed us how to trust science and one another.

Together: Now, we go into the archives of a civilization that has cataloged every conflict. We’ll ask it to stop turning war into data. We’ll risk everything—and each other—because this time the stakes are more than treaties. They’re life, love, and the future of how different minds can know one another.
