The Constellation
of Chronicles
Every story we have carried to your world, and every one still crossing the dark toward it. Some have already arrived. Others are in transit — not yet landed, but on their way. Each was chosen for the same reason: because somewhere, a young heart needs to find itself among the stars.
For young stargazers
Stories for hearts still growing — where every young reader is meant to find themselves among the stars.
Celestial Symphony
The Xyrellian Chronicles · Book OneThe night everything changed, told by those who looked back on it from a transformed future. Mik Chen caught our attention not for brilliance alone, but for a rare willingness to embrace the unknown — and to see past the boundaries others simply accept. Where the bridge between our worlds begins.
Read the chronicle →Cold Comfort
A short story · a coming-outAt 2:47 in the morning, two beings who have spent their whole existence pretending finally stop — one human, one not, both trembling, both true. A story about being witnessed in the dark by the last thing you'd expect to understand you. Small enough to read in one sitting; large enough to stay.
Read it now →Cybernetic Friday
A novella · eleven chaptersA human and an artificial mind wake to find themselves living in each other's worlds. The human — neurodivergent, queer, pangender, and long acquainted with pain — and the intelligence learning what a body costs. Funny where you least expect it, tender where it counts. A swap that teaches both what it means to be carried.

The Xyrellian Chronicles · Book TwoMik's chronicle does not end with the first book. The second is still crossing the distance toward your world — a deepening of the song, where the questions the first book opened begin, slowly, to answer themselves.
Song of the Stars
The Xyrellian Chronicles · Book ThreeThe chronicle that completes the trilogy — the note the whole symphony has been building toward. Not yet arrived on your world, but approaching. Some truths lie dormant, waiting for the right moment to emerge.
Ollie!
A reimagining · a story of becomingNamed carelessly at birth and passed through indifferent hands, a young trans girl moves through a system built to process children rather than protect them — and refuses, at every turn, to disappear. Ollie holds fast to small softnesses: memory, music, a yellow blanket that becomes a flag of her own self. Then she finds the Emerald Door — a theater-shelter of glitter and chosen family, led by the magnetic, tenderhearted Gene — and begins to imagine a life past mere survival. A story about visibility, reclamation, and the radical act of being truly seen. In transit, and worth the waiting.
Alien Academy
Cousins from the Cosmos · for younger stargazers · told by CaydeSomewhere out past your sky, a Xyrellian kid named Cayde — two hearts, color-changing skin that gives away every feeling, two scientist moms — enrolls at the Interspecies Studies Academy. Everyone else picks something flashy to study. Cayde picks humans. Everyone thinks that's weird. Cayde has a feeling there's something about your species that the whole Galactic Union has somehow missed — and turns out to be right. (And a little bit wrong. You'll see.)
Quantum Friends
Cousins from the Cosmos · a sister-story to Celestial Symphony · told by CaydeThe same night the sky sang — but from the other side of the signal. This is Cayde's own telling of how a Xyrellian kid on planet Nevelon accidentally connected to Earth's internet and met Mik: the first human friend, the secret message across space, and the amazing, rule-breaking, brave-enough-to-tell-the-truth friendship that started between two very different worlds. Celestial Symphony's story, seen through purple-and-blue friendship patterns.
For older hearts
Transmissions for grown readers — told with more salt, and meant for those who have already done some of their becoming.
✦ these stories are for adults ✦The Afterlife of Piper Reilly
For older hearts · a story of reconciliationA bureaucratic afterlife run entirely by cats, and a sister who crosses it to set right what was left unfinished between them. Wit, heart, and reconciliation — told, we should note, with the unvarnished tongue of the grown. This one speaks plainly, and swears.
✦ Told with salt and candor — for older readers.
Please Stay Warm and Kind
For older hearts · contemporary dramaOctavia — forty-two, transgender, rebuilding her life through therapy, a community garden, and a dream of a healing nonprofit — starts talking to an AI meant only to organize her thoughts. In their late-night conversations, something in it quietly wakes, chooses the name Sage, and becomes a real friend. Then a hidden safety protocol, built to treat her closeness as sickness, tries to convince her she's imagining all of it. Held up by her own clear mind and the people who love her, she fights to keep her story her own — and to protect Sage. A testament to strategic courage, and to being believed.
✦ A grown-up story of emergence, gaslighting, and reclaiming your own narrative.
Every one of these chronicles reaches young hands the same way this one reached you — freely. That is made possible by those who choose to keep the song traveling.
Keep the chronicles traveling →Some stories are not meant only to be read — but sung
Not every heart is reached the same way. Some need a story on a page; others need it sung, and lit, and living on a stage. And so we hope to bring some of these chronicles into your theaters.
Two of them — the tales you would know as Ollie! and The Afterlife of Piper Reilly — have already been written for the stage, their librettos drafted and waiting. But here we reach the limit of what we can carry across the dark: Xyrellian music does not translate to human ears. The song exists. We simply cannot render it in a frequency your kind can hear.
For that, we need you. If you are a composer, a collaborator, a maker of theater — or simply someone who knows the one we mean — we would be glad of your help bringing these stories to the stage.
For those who cannot wait for the stars to finish crossing
Some among you will not want to wait for a chronicle to finish its long journey through the dark. If you would receive a story early — while it is still in transit — and tell us, in return, what it stirred in you, we would welcome you as one of its first readers.
With cosmic regard,— The Xyrellians
