 On a Sunbeam (Webcomic)
comment
On a Sunbeam is a 2016 webcomic by Tillie Walden.Throughout the deepest reaches of space, shy captain Char, team mom Alma, hot-headed Jules, and silent Elliot serve as a reconstruction crew, rebuilding beautiful and broken-down structures and painstakingly putting the past together. As Mia, the newest member, gets to know her team, the story flashes back to her pivotal year in boarding school, where she fell in love with a mysterious new student named Grace. But Mia hasn't forgotten her lost love, and the crew knows more than she realizes about the girl from her past.The comic was published as a single volume in 2018 by First Second.

Surprisingly Happy Ending

Surprisingly Happy Ending: After all of the various troubles the crew encounter in The Staircase (Alma & Char imprisoned, Elliot attacked and nearly killed, Jules poisoned and in a coma), the story ends with one of these: Char & Alma quit working to live quietly in their home, Elliot & Jules both recover fully, Mia is named the new captain of the crew, and Grace decides to accompany them.

The Smurfette Principle
 On a Sunbeam (Webcomic) / int_5d753b19
comment
The Smurfette Principle: Inverted, sort of. There is one named male in the entire series, and he's a cat. One character is nonbinary, but every other character depicted is a girl/woman.

comment
Trans Tribulations: After Char gets put on leave, her replacement captain seems very stubborn in not learning Elliot's pronouns. Luckily, the crew is on Elliot's side, and Jules gives her hell for it later on.

Hated by All
 On a Sunbeam (Webcomic) / int_77aae115
comment
Hated by All: Elliot has this in The Staircase because they killed an Eldritch Abomination alien who had in its turn killed their teacher. Since the inhabitants of The Staircase view protecting its unique lifeforms as a nearly sacred duty, Elliot is risking their life simply returning there, and sure enough, is attacked by an angry mob and very nearly killed in short order.

From Bad to Worse: First, the crew gets separated in The Staircase. Then, Elliot is severely wounded, Alma and Char are captured, and Jules is poisoned. They get better, though.

One Degree of Separation: Char, Alma, and Elliot were the crew that brought Grace from The Staircase to her school, where she met Mia. The teacher at Cleary's School who later suggested Mia join the crew is Alma's oldest sister and Jules' other aunt.

Cast Full of Gay: Nearly every girl/woman in the cast is shown to like women, and we never see any straight couples because there are no male characters.
