Then he met Finn.

I’ve realised I keep writing characters who arrive somewhere unfamiliar fully expecting to leave.
Then they meet someone, and eventually “when do I go home?” becomes “what if this is home?”
Apparently that’s an idea I’m nowhere near finished with.

Hello 👋
I’m Ben Athem. I write quiet, queer science-fiction romance — usually involving aliens, humans, unexpected connection, and people discovering that home isn’t always where they thought it would be.
Very new around here, so I’m looking forward to finding the bookish corners of Bluesky.
