Life on a planet, either future earth or maybe stranded on another, where only the regions between night and day are habitable. All life needs to constantly move to be in a region of dawn or dusk. Some places near the poles could have semi-permanent civilizations that don’t need to move as often.
There’s a random planet in Mass Effect that is tidally locked, and mentions it’s life exists only in the twilight region. The light side is violently hot, and the dark side is brutally cold. Every time I come across this planet my imagination always goes a little wild, picturing strange alien creatures lumbering about in the cool air beneath a deep purple sky and perpetual sunset. It’s such a cool vibe.
I think you’d like The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson! Came out a month or so ago, definitely worth the read. The setting is a planet where the sun/sunlight kills, literally hot enough to melt the rock of the planet as it goes. Very good book imo

This is the most recent world in Thresholder, if you’d like to read an excellent fic that fleshes out that idea well
