millie’s long list of malex fics | Come Meet Me in the Stars by Winged_Fool / @winged-fool
When Earth and Antar make first contact, they are immediately at odd’s end with each other. The Centuries’ War begins and when they’re not directly fighting each other, they’re launching exploratory missions to divide up the universe. The Antar exploratory vessels are not peacemakers, they often run into Earth exploratory vessels and end up open firing at each other as they try to conquer the quadrant.
Michael is the captain of one of these exploratory vessels. It’s how he meets Alex Manes.
Alex and Michael have always been on opposite sides of the war. But when Alex shows up at Michael’s ship bloody and drugged, the enemy lines start to blur.
comment: another dark(ish) fic for this week, and another that follows the idea of antar and earth being at opposite ends of a war. this perfectly sets up an opportunity for some enemies to lovers stuff, made possible when alex shows up on michael’s ship with a plan to take down his father. i especially like the twist (or not twist?) that this fic takes at the end, which i was already over the moon about, and the michael’s reaction made the whole thing even better! i really love the powerful sci-fi feel of this one, as well as the teasing between alex and michael!!
have a fic you’d like to see on the list? let me know!
