R.E.M was designed to work in dreams. She plays a part, then moves on to the next one, until she breaks protocol and becomes something else entirely. In a system built to control the unconscious mind, three unlikely friends begin to unravel the system from within. Rem, Synapse, and Delta were never meant to find each other, or have feelings for that matter. But when resistance becomes a necessity for survival, they learn to use their unique skills to make a change. A speculative fiction series about emotional resonance, systemic rupture, and the quiet power of chosen family.

Katia's stream was her safe place. Low-key. Low-viewer. Low-risk. Until Vybehawk-streaming's golden boy-raided her mid-fishing rant and turned her quiet swamp of self-loathing into a feeding frenzy. Chat begged him to collab with her. Then they told him to "test her." So he did. She left. On stream, mid-viewer-peak. And the internet felt it. Now, Vybe's in freefall, facing the wreckage of the persona he built and the woman who refuses to be his next "bit." But Katia doesn't trust sudden attention. She's lived through "new and shiny" turning into "too much and disposable" before. If Vybe wants to be more than a spectacle, he'll have to unlearn everything that made him famous-starting with the idea that people are content. No raids. No clickbait. No chat as a buffer. Just him. Just her. Off stream.

She was meant to vanish. Every Terran knows what it means to be Chosen: you never come back. Lyra Sefu is no exception. Just another name on the Ascendance list, selected for the Virexari breeding program under the guise of a peaceful exchange. But when she's claimed by Kaelen Tharien, a hybrid royal engineered for control, something fractures. Even though he is genetic perfection, Kaelen cannot look away. Her defiance undermines his directives. Her scent rewrites his instincts. Her touch ruins protocol. And when their psychic imprint triggers a forbidden bond, their bodies become battlegrounds for history, obsession, and the remnants of a broken covenant no one dares speak of. She is the last human who should have survived. He is the last Virexari who should have surrendered. But the covenant is cracking. ⚠️ Overall Content Note: This book is dark low sci-fi romantasy with heavy exploration of trauma, consent, systemic abuse, and erotic power dynamics.
