Summary
A series of connected fics for I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. Mostly postcanon, dealing with the aftermath of the Peace on Vertumna ending and concerned with following the cast into their twenties and beyond. Themes include: reconnecting with your younger self, queerplatonic/unconventional relationship structures, platonic and familial love, grief, and the growing up that gets done after you're already an adult. Not QUITE a fix-it, because I do make some of the characters get worse before they get better. Some of the fics stand on their own, but they're all in conversation with each other.
First and foremost, though: this is a love story. Not necessarily a romantic one, but a love story nonetheless. It is comprised of three mostly-chronological story arcs: "Beekeeper", "Mineshaft", and "Childlore", each with three stories each, plus the side-story collection "The B Sides".

Summary
Anemone frowns, watching trees and cliffs pass them by. “That must have been hard, to re-learn something you used to be really good at.”
Sol shrugs, smiling. “Yeah, kind of? But I got to come back to it, and fall in love again."

Anemone grapples with forgiveness, feeling purposeless, and finding her way back to joy. (illustration in chapter 1 by PenguinPerson!)
