To possess the Mandate of Heaven, the female monk Zhu will do anything. “I refuse to be nothing…” In a famine-stricken village on a dusty yellow plain, two children are given two fates. A boy, greatness. A girl, nothingness…. In 1345, China lies under harsh Mongol rule. For the starving peasants of the Central Plains, greatness is something found only in stories. When the Zhu family’s eighth-born son, Zhu Chongba, is given a fate of greatness, everyone is mystified as to how it will come to pass. The fate of nothingness received by the family’s clever and capable second daughter, on the other hand, is only as expected. When a bandit attack orphans the two children, though, it is Zhu Chongba who succumbs to despair and dies. Desperate to escape her own fated death, the girl uses her brother's identity to enter a monastery as a young male novice. There, propelled by her burning desire to survive, Zhu learns she is capable of doing whatever it takes, no matter how callous, to stay hidden from her fate. After her sanctuary is destroyed for supporting the rebellion against Mongol rule, Zhu takes the chance to claim another future altogether: her brother's abandoned greatness.

Modern settings. Recognizable social rules. Families that resemble the structures most of us grew up around. I wrote about this a week or two ago, about looking beyond contemporary romance for great sapphic stories.\\ \\ Those stories matter. They reflect lived experience and present-day struggles.\\ \\ Yet some of the most thought-provoking sapphic stories appear in places where the rules look completely different.\\ \\ Speculative fiction offers writers a simple but radical tool. The ability to ask what happens when the world operates under different assumptions?\\ \\ What happens when gender does not function the way our societies expect?\\ \\ What happens when colonial hierarchies collapse or never existed in the first place?\\ \\ What happens when family and community follow different structures?\\ \\ **Sapphic speculative fiction thrives in these questions.**\\ \\ What counts as speculative fiction?\\ \\ Speculative fiction serves as an umbrella term for stories that imagine worlds different from our own.\\ \\ Fantasy explores magic, mythology, and alternate societies.\\ \\ Science fiction looks at future technology, space exploration, and evolving social systems.\\ \\ Alternate history reimagines historical timelines.\\ \\ Dystopian and utopian fiction examine political systems taken to extreme outcomes.\\ \\ Magical realism blends ordinary life with elements that challenge reality.\\ \\ All of these genres share a common feature. They build worlds where the assumptions we treat as natural begin to shift.\\ \\ When those foundations move, storytelling changes.\\ \\ **Reimagining gender systems**\\ \\ Many speculative worlds question the rigid gender frameworks common in contemporary culture.\\ \\ Some settings include fluid understandings of gender. Others remove the strict gender hierarchy. Some societies organize identity through entirely different categories.\\ \\ When gender works differently, relationships evolve as well.\\ \\ Characters express attraction without the scripts that dominate many romance narratives. Partnerships develop around compatibility, trust, or shared goals rather than predetermined roles.\\ \\ For readers, this shift opens new ways of thinking about identity and connection.\\ \\ **Challenging colonial power structures**\\ \\ Speculative fiction often explores empire, conquest, and resistance.\\ \\ Many worlds center characters fighting against oppressive systems or rebuilding communities after political collapse. Some stories draw inspiration from Indigenous traditions or non-Western perspectives to imagine societies structured around different values.\\ \\ Within these settings, sapphic characters frequently appear as leaders, rebels, scholars, or explorers. Their relationships unfold inside larger struggles over power, survival, and cultural memory.\\ \\ Love does not exist in isolation. It grows alongside questions about justice, resistance, and the future of entire communities.\\ \\ **Rethinking family and community**\\ \\ Another striking feature of speculative fiction involves how stories approach family.\\ \\ The nuclear family model rarely stands as the only option. Characters often live within chosen families, cooperative communities, traveling crews, or political alliances.\\ \\ Romantic relationships exist inside these broader networks of care.\\ \\ Two people falling in love may also share responsibilities to their crew, their village, or their resistance movement. Partnership becomes part of a wider web of loyalty and support.\\ \\ For many readers, this structure feels both imaginative and deeply familiar.\\ \\ Common tropes in sapphic speculative fiction\\ \\ Speculative fiction combines romance with adventure and conflict. Certain narrative patterns recur.\\ \\ A princess guarded by a loyal warrior or knight who begins to question her duty.\\ \\ Rival soldiers from opposing factions are forced to work together.\\ \\ A scholar and a fighter navigating a dangerous quest.\\ \\ Political enemies are forming uneasy alliances during a rebellion.\\ \\ Explorers encounter unfamiliar worlds and build trust through survival.\\ \\ These tropes create tension, intimacy, and emotional growth while the larger story unfolds.\\ \\ **Why these stories expand the imagination**\\ \\ Speculative fiction does more than entertain. It shifts perspective.\\ \\ When readers step into worlds built on different assumptions, the systems shaping their own lives become visible. Gender roles, political hierarchies, and family structures reveal themselves as historical constructs rather than permanent truths.\\ \\ Sapphic speculative fiction takes this imaginative shift even further.\\ \\ Queer women appear not as side characters but as central figures in the story of the world itself. They lead revolutions. Build communities. Explore unknown territories. Fall in love while reshaping the societies around them.\\ \\ These stories ask readers to imagine something larger than representation.\\ \\ They ask us to imagine entirely different ways people live together.\\ \\ An invitation to explore\\ \\ If you have not spent time with sapphic speculative fiction, consider this an invitation.\\ \\ Explore fantasy worlds where magic reshapes power.\\ \\ Read science fiction that questions identity in future societies.\\ \\ Look for stories where love grows alongside resistance, exploration, and discovery.\\ \\ These books stretch the imagination in ways that linger long after the final page.\\ \\ I am especially interested in reading more sapphic speculative fiction this year.\\ \\ Which books expanded your worldview?\\ \\ Which stories stayed with you long after you finished them?\\ \\ Here is a list of books I've read and books on my TBR!\\ \\ \\ \\ Join for free or login](https://wanderlandreads.binderybooks.com/item/dC3Z6zlKg411NPzu2Wgr/) [Worlds Where Sapphic Stories Rewrite the Rules](https://wanderlandreads.binderybooks.com/item/dC3Z6zlKg411NPzu2Wgr/) * * * 26 books 3 [Infinite Realms Book Club \\ \\ Nozomi \\ \\ • Jan 22](https://the-infinite-realms-bookclub.binderybooks.com/) Join for free [Poll:\\ \\ February book picks \\ \\ Hi everyone!

This is book 1 in the **_Radiant Emperor Duology_** set in 14th-century China while under the rule of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty, so it's a blend of history and historical fiction (or a historical fantasy reimagining, however you wanna classify it. Here's a blurb on it:\\ \\ > ... In a famine-stricken village on a dusty yellow plain, two children are given two fates. A boy, greatness. A girl, nothingness…\\ > \\ > When the Zhu family’s eighth-born son, Zhu Chongba, is given a fate of greatness, everyone is mystified as to how it will come to pass. The fate of nothingness received by the family’s clever and capable second daughter, on the other hand, is only as expected.\\ > \\ > When a bandit attack orphans the two children, though, it is Zhu Chongba who succumbs to despair and dies. Desperate to escape her own fated death, the girl uses her brother's identity to enter a monastery as a young male novice. There, propelled by her burning desire to survive, Zhu learns she is capable of doing whatever it takes, no matter how callous, to stay hidden from her fate.\\ > \\ > After her sanctuary is destroyed for supporting the rebellion against Mongol rule, Zhu takes the chance to claim another future altogether: her brother's abandoned greatness.\\ \\ The History Sickos experienced a bit of a coup by a women-led coalition in the Discord and so we went with four options that were by women, about women. The winner of that vote was **_The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold_**!\\ \\ The title is self-explanatory but here's a blurb anyway:\\ \\ > "For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, revealing a world not just of Dickens and Queen Victoria, but of poverty, homelessness, and rampant misogyny. They died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time - but their greatest misfortune was to be born a woman."\\ \\ I'll be setting up the discussion forums in the Discord server on Saturday. If you want to participate, **subscribe at the Sicko or Mega Sicko tier** and when you link your Discord (in "Account Settings") all the additional channels will open up. The discussions in these have been amazing lately and I hope to see you there.
