ORBIT by Leigh Hellman is a diverse space opera for fans of Firefly. From the author:
"With all four main characters on the sexually-fluid spectrum, the relationships that develop explore the gray areas between platonic, romantic, and sexual love and the queer bonds of found families. Orbit also features a non-binary main character discovering and reclaiming their identity in a system that manufactured a mandated gender for them."
In COPPER MAGE by Dorothy Dreyer, Shiro is imprisoned in dystopian New United Asia for his outlawed magical powers. During his quest to survive the brutal bullying of the corrupt government prison camp guards, Shiro falls in love with a boy named Qiang, who not only stands up for Shiro but also helps him escape. But when their plans go askew and they are separated during their escape, Shiro doesn’t know if he’ll ever see Qiang again…
WINDBORN by Mary Fan features an air nymph named Kiri who must escape from a ruthless group of sorcerers within seven days or she will die. As she embarks on a treacherous journey with a magician's apprentice, Kiri discovers her identity as pansexual, experiencing attraction to a person of a different gender than anyone she's ever had feelings for before.
In FOURTH WORLD by Lyssa Chiavari, a boy named Isaak, who lives on Mars in the near future, finds himself transported back in time thousands of years, to Mars' ancient past, where he encounters a civilization on the brink of destruction. There he meets Nadin, who enlists his help in finding a way to save her people. The two teens are both on the #asexual spectrum, and the series addresses their journeys of self-discovery.
BALLAD OF THE BEANSTALK by Amy McNulty is a prequel to the fairytale "Jack and the Beanstalk" with a #bisexual heroine. This lyrical YA fantasy explores the origin of the kingdom of the clouds, the giant who dwells there, and his magical harp, while also delicately examining the pressures bisexual people experience when it comes to performative queerness.

Janina Franck’s A SPARK IN SPACE follows Tabea, an aro-ace cadet in the Space Corps who attains the powers of technomancy in an accident. Instead of romantic relationships, her focus lies on deepening the bonds she shares with the people around her, including her captain, Jim Callaghan, her friends Besma and Vincent, the sentient spaceship Calliope, and eventually the non-binary Penyali nurse Sh’t’ani.
