The Resignation Letter by Dax Murray

4.0

She had soft words of longing, harsh words of betrayal, and grief-filled words of disbelief. But in the end, it didn't matter what she chose, Ellie would get the message either way.

Within just a few pages, Murray paints a vivid, magical world that mirrors our own in the cruelest ways (except that, thank the gay gods, homophobia and transphobia are nowhere to be found) and the love of two women whose romance is tainted by their duties and history, war and heritage so that in the end the only thing that remains is for them to be broken apart by just that.
