[REDACTED] ████████ ██ with [DATA EXPUNGED].

Earth's Shadow - Takes place probably a few dozen millennia after humanity leaves Solsys. An assortment of low-tekkers decide to settle in a moon system, terraform a few moons, then their mainframe AI network fails spontaneously. All technology that relied on this network fails catastrophically, as well as every mind that needed that technology or any mind that happened to be connected to the network at that time. Very few sophonts survive and then fantastical post-apocalyptic adventures happen, with broken DNIs and wandering AI functioning as telepathy and spirits and ghosts, with provolves and lazurogens as talking cats and dragons. With lower gravity and a higher air pressure for easier flight.

Skyward - Had a zero-gravity world in mind for this, with floating islands and stuff. It's basically a fantasy version of what's seen in Karl Schroeder's Virga series (which I happened upon when I actively searched around for freefall environment fiction). Schroeder beat me to it by years... Ehehehe.

Transverse - Space opera with classical physics and sufficiently analysed magic that follows the inverse-square law. No special relativity (like back in Newton's time), convenient instant interstellar communication, compact wormholes, jump drives, actually-nice-for-once precursors, and other spacey tropes. And also everyone is biochemically compatible with each other, because of all life being seeded by the mysteriously-missing ancients. And the place is actually a virch, so there's that.

And there's this world that I helped develop, a small section of a Banks Orbital that is cut off from other segments. People in there are trying to get past the walls at the moment.

Also working on a future Mars for a group project online, a Mars maybe 700 million years in the future.
