There are no stars at all for some of us

Hey! Internet! I've just been talking about how much it sucks when a novel kills off its queer characters. Especially when there's, like, one of them and they're the one who doesn't make it. Can someone point me toward a list of books where that doesn't happen? Spoilers, whatever.

If you don't mind a comment from a random passerby: how about Melissa Scott's SF?

I don't mind random comments at all. Thank you for joining the conversation!

My favorites are the duology Dreamships and Dreaming Metal, where now that I think of it there seem to be practically no het relationships at all among the various main characters. (Also spectacular world-building.)

I've read Melissa Scott's A Choice of Destinies, The Armor of Light, and two of her Astreiant novels with Lisa A. Barnett (although I can't find my hardcover of Point of Dreams at the moment, which is disconcerting; I went looking for it the night I wrote this post), but none of the ones you mention. I do not require het relationships and spectacular worldbuilding is a plus. I'll look for them!
