The novella Supernova Soul by Matthew J. Metzger was excellent. It's the sequel to Like the First Moon Landing. This tome follows Hélène, Maggie's ex-wife, who's stranded on a moon with a few other survivors.

I feel like this part has even more horror vibes than the first one. Toxic and corrosive gases are no fun, for a start.

Hélène is a Black lesbian. Alex is a butch sapphic. (No romance between them.) Zoë is a trans woman. Tariq is an asexual man. Also, Hélène talks about her former relationship with Maggie, so intersex themes are discussed.
