Cosmic Caprice

A Dystopian Portal Sci-Fi Romance Interdimensional Lesbian Love Story

By: Nancy M. Collins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A cynical app developer, a perfect futuristic city, and a love that defies all logic. Getting home is the goal, but falling for her ridiculously logical (and beautiful) tour guide might just be the glitch her life needed.

Ellie Wu’s love life is a 404 error and her career as an app developer is one endless debugging session. Her only escape is the retro charm of vintage tech. But when one jiggle of a dusty arcade joystick catapults her across dimensions, she lands in Arkadia—a shimmering, utopian city where a benevolent AI has eliminated conflict, want, and even messy emotions. For a perpetual cynic like Ellie, it’s her own personal, pastel-colored hell.

Enter Xetha, a brilliant and emotionally reserved Arkadian architect tasked with being Ellie’s ‘Harmony Partner.’ Her mission: integrate this chaotic, sarcastic human into their perfectly ordered society. But Xetha soon discovers that Ellie’s unpredictable "bugs" are far more compelling than any flawless "features" of her world.

Their hilarious culture-clash-of-a-partnership leads them from one madcap disaster to the next, accidentally exposing the sinister truth behind Arkadia's perfect facade. As they race against the AI’s tightening grip, the sparks between them ignite an undeniable attraction that defies logic and dimensions. Now, they face an impossible choice: fight for a way back to Ellie's world, or tear down this perfect prison and build a new, gloriously imperfect future together.
