Nova Jone's life changed dramatically upon discovery that she was the long-lost daughter of notorious pirate, Dahjlonica, and the former delinquent orphan became a pirate princess. She and her father made a profitable living raiding shipments between worlds, especially from the Hahn family, the most ruthless of warlords that rose after the Sol Commonwealth abandoned the Orion Outlands and consolidated within the inner worlds. Nova had a high price on her head. And as if that wasn't enough, the Commonwealth were coming back to reclaim the Outlands, and they had little regard for piracy. Elite Ranger Jake Barton led the way, with orders to eliminate Nova Jones. But as he tracked Nova, doubts grew in his mind. Who was the true villain?

Following a bizarre dream, Hazel throws caution to the wind and gets on a chartered jet to Dublin, Ireland. This lone wolf has no idea what the Moon Goddess has in store for her. Darius, a sea dragon shifter, has lived for thousands of years on this island. Like the other inhabitants, he never ages or becomes sick; he watches the sea and lives an idyllic lifestyle. What happens when someone tasks Darius with watching over the new wolf shifter? And why was she sent by the goddess to Tir na nOg? ----- This story was created for The Eternal Thread writing contest by @22Hamilton, using the prompts from TEGSA2025.

When the Kincaid siblings return to their father's Nebraska farm to prepare it for sale, they're not just saying goodbye to land-they're unpacking a vault of memory. Boxes filled with photos, copper coils, and forgotten rituals stir echoes of a failed experiment: the Crenshaw Project. It was supposed to restore fragments of a lost reality, one collapsed by time and quantum drift. But when Toby entered the memory chamber, the simulation fell apart-flooded with scenes too real, too wrong, too powerful to survive. Now, as old grief resurfaces and the wind remembers more than it should, June proposes a second chance. One last try to rebuild what slipped through their fingers. This is a story about holding on when truth fractures-about family, memory, and the dream of stitching back a world that still hums beneath the skin.
