Are There Mlm Sci Fi Books With Space Travel And Found Family?

Found myself craving more sci-fi series where queer men's relationships develop during interstellar voyages and deep-space crew bonding.

If you like your sci-fi with a side of horror, 'The Luminous Dead' by Caitlin Starling is a terrifying cave dive on an alien planet. It's a two-person show (F and non-binary character) with intense, unreliable dynamics. Not traditional space travel, but planetary exploration with that claustrophobic, us-against-the-environment feel. The MLM element isn't present in this one, but for a gripping, relationship-driven survival story in an SF setting, it's top-tier.

Is it cheating to recommend the 'Firefly' TV series and its movie 'Serenity'? The found family of the Serenity crew is legendary. While the main romances are hetero, the deep, loyal bonds between all members, especially Mal and Wash, Mal and Zoe, are the core. The universe feels lived-in, the travel is constant, and the 'verse itself is a character. Sometimes the purest expression of a trope isn't in books.

I'd throw 'An Absolutely Remarkable Thing' by Hank Green into the ring. It's contemporary sci-fi about sudden alien artifacts appearing on Earth, so no space travel. But the found family of the main character's team trying to solve the mystery under global scrutiny has that vibe. The sequel has a prominent, sweet MLM relationship. It's more about global journeying and viral fame, but the 'chosen team as family' element is strong and compelling.

What about translated works? I heard 'The Three-Body Problem' trilogy has incredible scope and philosophical depth, but the found family and queer elements are minimal. It's more about humanity as a collective facing the cosmos. The relationships are often strained by the immense pressure of cosmic sociology. So, maybe not for the intimate found-family vibe, but for the awe of space travel and big ideas, it's unmatched.

What's the appeal of this combo for you all? For me, it's the ultimate escape. The vast loneliness of space makes the closeness of the crew or found group so much more meaningful. The ship becomes a home only because of the people in it. The MLM element adds that layer of chosen romantic love within the chosen familial love, doubling down on the theme of building your own haven in the void. It just works.

Which sci fi YA books focus on space travel and found family themes?

I tend to prefer my found family with a side of moral ambiguity. 'The Kinder Poison' by Natalie Mae is a fantasy. Ugh. 'The Never Tilting World' by Rin Chupeco is fantasy as well. I'm clearly in a fantasy mood. For sci-fi ambiguity, maybe 'The Initiate' by Louise J. Cooper? That's an old school fantasy trilogy. I'll stop trying to contribute and just lurk productively.

Has anyone mentioned the 'Sun Eater' series by Christopher Ruocchio yet? It's a dense, literary sci-fantasy, and the found family element is subtle but crushing. Hadrian Marlowe, the narrator, is a noble who rejects his birth family and finds a more genuine connection with his military squad and later, with outcasts and aliens. The tragedy is that his epic, galaxy-spanning destiny constantly forces him to leave them behind or make choices that hurt them. The family is always there, in the background of his memories, making his loneliness and sacrifices hit so much harder.

Lol, my first thought was 'Guardians of the Galaxy' but that's a movie. Does comic book/movie discussion count here? The whole 'we're a bunch of a-holes, but we're your a-holes' dynamic is peak found family, and the Star-Lord/Gamora romance is key. The mix of sci-fi, fantasy elements, and humor fits the bill, even if it's not a novel.

What are the best sci-fi books with romance and found families?

Okay, talking about sci-fi that feels like a warm, slightly messy living room of chosen people always makes me grin. If you want one that's practically the textbook for found-family + gentle romance, start with 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' — it's full of little domestic scenes on a ship where people learn each other's quirks, trauma, and comforts. The romance isn't front-and-center but it's threaded through with real tenderness: slow trust, awkward moments, and queer relationships that grow naturally rather than being tokenized. If you want something that leans more into identity and the emotional fallout of being 'other', try 'A Closed and Common Orbit' (same universe) for a found-family story about rebuilding a life, and 'Record of a Spaceborn Few' if you prefer community-as-family and quiet domestic sci-fi. For sharper edges and a weirder tone, 'Gideon the Ninth' gives you a tough, sarcastic found-family/core crew vibe with sapphic undertones and a deliciously hostile-to-affection arc. 'An Unkindness of Ghosts' adds heavy shipboard dynamics and chosen bonds, while 'Leviathan Wakes' offers a crew-that-acts-like-family with romance simmering alongside space noir action. If I could give one tip: pick what mood you want first — cozy and hopeful (Chambers), gothic and biting ('Gideon'), or gritty and crew-focused ('Leviathan Wakes') — and you'll find a book that hits both romance and found-family in ways that stick with you.

Which hard sci fi books focus most on realistic space travel?

Michael Flynn’s 'The January Dancer' and the subsequent 'Spiral Arm' books have a space opera feel, but he puts real work into the astrography. Travel times between stars are long and consequential, and the ‘uld’ that enables travel is treated more as a natural resource to be mined and routed than magic. The economics and politics stem from those physical limitations.

You want a deep cut? 'Between the Strokes of Night' by Charles Sheffield. It involves a form of extended lifespan and suspended animation that allows humans to experience interstellar travel by essentially stepping outside the normal flow of time. It gets incredibly trippy with time perception. Sheffield was a physicist, so the concepts are grounded in real theory, even if the application is speculative. It's less about the mechanics of the ship and more about the mechanics of consciousness experiencing millennia as moments. A unique and mind-bending take on the problem.

I lean towards the classics for a reason. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series, for all its absurdity, is a found family story. Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod, Trillian, and Marvin are the most dysfunctional, hapless group in the galaxy. They’re thrown together by cosmic coincidence and stick together through sheer bewildered inertia. There’s a deep, understated affection beneath all the satire and panic. They’re home for each other in a vast, uncaring, and ridiculous universe. It’s funny, but the loneliness Arthur feels makes the companionship matter.
