Hello Reddit I just watched project hail Mary and I loved it I'm planning on reading the book but I can't get my hands on it yet (same goes for The Martian), so I was hoping to get some recommendations similar to that or "The Darkness Outside Us" by Eliot Schrefer.

I would also love to read Enemy Mine by Barry B. Longyear because I remember Loving the 1985 movie Enemy Mine but I have no idea where to find it, so suggestions for alternatives would be lovely.

The thing I found really compelling about both stories was the loneliness of a one-way space journey juxtaposed with the contrast of budding companionship.

And similarly I would also love to read Enemy Mine by Barry B. Longyear because I remember Loving the 1985 movie Enemy Mine but I have no idea where to find it, so suggestions for alternatives would be lovely.

Preferably not YA, and if it's queer that would be a great bonus.

thank you for taking the time to read and any suggestions you might have. :-)

Hi I'm looking for stories with the arranged marriage trope featuring trans character, I'm open to any setting but I'm not a big fan of nonfiction or YA novels.

"Spice" is great but I can take it or leave it.

Bonus points if it's

- slow burn

- forced proximity

or

- enemies to lovers

And to save some time, I have read

- The Witch King By H.E. Edgmon (it was okay)

- Spirit Bares its Teeth By Andrew Joseph White (I really enjoyed it)

And thank you for taking your time to read and for any suggestions you might have!

Hi there Reddit I'm new here and new to being no contact with my father, I suppose I'm here to vent I'm not really sure, there are a lot of emotions I haven't processed yet and I'm still coming to terms with how abuse of my parents were and are but it feels like such "old news" people around me have been pointing it out for a long time.

​

I'm just having a lot of feelings and I don't think I want to be having them now that reading over what I just wrote 😕, anyways.

​

I'm 31 and I'm trans I went NC with my father about 2 months ago I have been low contact with both my parents for a while before my mother had a medical emergency earlier this year that put a big strain on everyone and brought the nasty out of my father in "fun and unique ways™🌈" let's just say he managed to get himself thrown out of two hospitals when my mother needed him, and said some things to me that crossed the line and he did it deliberately with the intent to hurt me and I would have cut him off then if my mother didn't need me but it definitely did add to why I ultimately did cut him off, and it wasn't long after my mother got home that he insulted wife my marriage and misgendered me(again).

​

I told him I wasn't going to speak to him until I received an apology, he has never apologize for anything I'm not going to get an apology and I knew that before asking for it... Maybe it's stupid of me but I wanted to give him a chance. they raised me to be such a dutiful child who is sympathetic to them and all their woes I will be the 4th out of his 5 children to go no contact with him, it's just a part of me that feels like it didn't have to be like this.

​

To add more stress on top of everything else he and I work at the same location our schedules hardly overlap 2 hours one day a week... That happens to be Sunday.😑 Every week up until now we have ignored each other we work in different areas it's fairly easy but of course today Father's Day, he had to go and be a nuisance for the first time since since I told him I was going NC he tried to greet me when I came in and I ignored him, but evidently that wasn't a clear enough message to him because a half hour later he leaves his work area to come hover over me to ask if I wanted his employee meal 🙃 as if the price of my dignity was that of a $9 yeah no I think I'll pass. and of course he got all angry and huffy when I again refuse to acknowledge him.

​

And his antics today or kind of laughably stupid but they are exhausting and I'm so tired of walking on eggshells because of this man.
