The Last Place They’d Look: A F/NB Sci Fi Romance Story by Catherine Fletcher
Tal is an intergalactic courier down on their luck and looking for a quick buck in a seedy bar at the edge of the galaxy. That's where they meet Kate, an unexpected human who is seeking escape immediately, no questions asked. What Tal doesn't realize is how dangerous it will be to have Kate onboard — not just to their livelihood, but also to their heart.The Last Place They'd Look is a spicy, spacy 7,500 word short story originally appeared in the anthology Binary Constellations #1 - Queer Sci Fi Romance. It's a thrilling sci-fi adventure with a f/nb love story, no cliffhangers, HEA, from queer romance author Catherine Fletcher.The bar door slides open. The pressure differential from the corridor of the station to the interior of the bar makes the ends of Tal’s hair shift, and they look up from their tablet to see who else has washed up here in this sad little place.The newcomer is human, a little taller than Tal, long, dark hair in a cable of a braid that falls forward over their shoulder when they lean towards the Ashling tending the bar. The Ashling nods at whatever the newcomer requests, and one of its arms reaches back for a bottle while another grabs a glass, and yet another reaches for the tablet the human is handing it. This leaves the Ashling with three other arms to handle pouring a drink for another patron. The human does not appear to be at all fazed by the extra limbs, nor do they seem at all put off by the dingy interior of the bar.Tal is immediately curious. A human with so much exposure to the far reaches that even an Ashling doesn’t give them pause is a human who might be worth knowing.
