2020 WATTYS WINNER in NEW ADULT! Oliver Ausman has been given a second chance at life, but it's hard to feel grateful when he was the one trying to end it in the first place. Returning to his normal life after being released from the hospital is hard, especially since his parent's idea of normal is made up of dinner parties, prep school, fancy suits, and fake manners-- all paired with a complete disregard for the mental health of their firstborn. He's long been fed up with it, but the final straw is when he finds out that his "father" isn't actually his father at all. Oliver decides he's had enough of the perfect facade, so he packs a suitcase and grabs his younger brother, "borrowing" his mother's car to sneak off on a trip to find his biological father. But he never expected to pick up a girl with her own similar set of problems, to be followed across the country by a money-hungry pair of criminals, or most of all, to find out that maybe this life thing isn't as bad as he thought.

Federal Service used to offer military specialties to suit all combat needs, but bureaucrats do not always know how to leave well-enough alone. As occupations come to an end, those serving must find something within Federal Service to occupy their time. Adams was one such member of the Service and his job is no more. He has been given the opportunity to join Federal Recovery, which is comprised of the most elite members in the Service. The Service may refer to it as opportunity, but he sees it as being voluntold. There is one test remaining and failure will be met with removal from the program. As Adams soon discovers, this is no ordinary test and failure could cost him more than his position.

The Claxion government created the eugenics program with the promise of a brighter future. It started as a voluntary program, but failed to reach the sixty-five percent that was needed to improve future generations. Voluntary turned to legal requirement and legal requirement turned to force. Any Claxion that continued to refuse to be altered at the genetic level was tortured into submission. When torture failed to persuade, the executions started. It was that moment when the Rangers arrived and quickly devastated the government and military structures and left no eugenicist in power. The Claxion people had their day in court and all involved were sentenced to death for their crimes. The first generation following the eugenicists discovered a frightening reality. Space sickness was a death sentence for all who left the planet. The second generation lost most to the sickness, but others due to a softening of the bones. The third generation fared the same as the second. Trax'l was part of the fourth generation. He survived the sickness and received training to prevent the falls from killing him. He found work as ships security and is given an offer by the first Ranger he has ever met. Go through their training and become a Ranger. Trax'l owed the rangers everything and joining their ranks would mean he can repay them in some small way. Will Trax'l survive training and join their ranks?

There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

Carol is captured by Yon-Rogg and brought back to Hala. Yon-Rogg x Vers/Carol.

Marion lives in a cruel, heartless world where the only thing that matters is wealth. Wealth that is more than just pretty mansions and personal chefs. Wealth...that can save your life. In a world destroyed by overpopulation and climate change, being poor is a sin. The world's governments came together with one solution to humanity's apocalyptic predicament: a ranking system that would sacrifice the impoverished for the good of humanity. If you don't have money, you're destined to die. But there is one exception: accidental deaths of the well-off might very well replace deaths of the poor. So, the real question is: how hard is it to make something look like an accident?
