Set in the Safe Haven universe

Author’s Note: 
This story is set in an original sci-fi universe I’ve developed for a full-length novel (Safe Haven — Hades & Persephone, but gay and in space!) that I’m currently querying. These characters would headline the second book in the universe, and this piece serves as their meet-cute backstory.

The setting is humanity’s space-faring future, after environmental collapse forced the evacuation of Earth and scattered humans across interplanetary settlements and space stations.
