In a universe where planets are rated by their lethality, Earth stands as a notorious Class 12 Deathworld- home to crushing gravity, vicious predators, and unrelenting natural disasters. When 15-year-old Amelia Hartley from Twickenham, becomes the first human ever admitted to the elite Galactic Academy of Sciences, she steps into a world of fragile aliens accustomed to gentle gravities and peaceful existences. But prejudice simmers among her classmates, who view her as a brute from a barbaric rock. As tensions boil into open conflict, an external pirate attack threatens to destroy the academy. In the chaos, Amelia suffers a near-fatal wound that should end her-but humanity's unyielding resilience turns the tide. This #HFY tale celebrates the indomitable spirit of Earthlings in a galaxy that underestimates them.

An #HFY story. The Galactic Concord's Military Combat Exhibition is meant to be a polite display of doctrine-an arena where species prove they're disciplined, fearless, and worthy of command contracts. Then Alex Parfitt arrives: a human competitor with shaking hands, relentless checklists, and the unmistakable look of someone who has already lived through ten disasters that haven't happened yet. The audience laughs... until she starts winning events she shouldn't be able to win. Until a "harmless" stress test turns into sabotage. Until the aliens realise the truth: humans don't conquer fear. They refine it, sharpen it, and aim it like a weapon. At a galactic combat exhibition designed to measure courage, one human competitor rewrites the scoring system-because Humanity doesn't run on bravery. It runs on weaponised anxiety. Content Warnings: Combat violence (non-graphic but intense). Psychological stress / panic symptoms (depicted as functional coping). Sabotage / attempted harm

James is retired, or supposed to be. But what could you really expect from a Super Soldier who had spent more time in the military than most people lived? He should have been on easy street. living life and relaxing on his porch in some out-of-the-way colony world. But instead, he is here on a planet he doesn't know how to leave. Treated like some master cultivator. and it doesn't look like anything is going to change any time soon...

This is an #HFY story celebrating humanity's restraint, memory, and quiet authority. If you enjoy ancient human legends, humbled aliens, and the idea that kindness can be more terrifying than cruelty, you're in the right place.

This is a collection of short stories written to break the writer's block, most of them inspired by r/WritingPrompts. Enjoy. Wiem, wiem, zazwyczaj pisze po polsku. Ale angielski jest śmieszny, więc też się zdarzy.

For millions of Years, the Reapers have tormented the galaxy. Races caught within and outside of its trap have been swept aside. Yet one race survived, and aided Humanity in their future. Now leading a Coalition of races against the Citadel Council, Humanity must deal with enemies, new allies, and a planet full of dangerous monsters and hormonal children with superpowers. Times are changing, and War is imminent. Wait what was that last part? Note, I don't own anything from Stellaris, mass effect, or RWBY. I only own my OCs.

When all else fails...

There has always been a section of the galaxy closed off to all of the galactic Civilization. Known simply as the Montoken Region and encompassing 20% of the galaxy, no one has dared stray close to this region. It supposedly is home to monsters of all kinds, dangers straight out of nightmares, and even leviathans that roam the space hunting everything. It has been so dangerous that even the Reapers have avoided the area throughout all their cycles. What Happens when dozens of species, hundreds of civilizations, and thousands of different lifeforms evolve in the safety of this Region? Answer: They war against each other until an outside force makes them all work together. That was what happened, the Prethoryn Scourge forced the nations of the Montoken arm to work together. Now in 2900s, these nations, United under the Galactic Commonwealth of Nations, look to explore and expand outside the Montoken arm. They will encounter the 'powerful's, the misfortune, and those seeking to bring the galaxy under their heels. It's a good thing the Commonwealth has a bunch of Titans however because some people are going to need a laser down their throats.

Content Notes: Space violence, ship combat, peril, intimidation tactics, non-graphic death. The Council calls them "minor." A backwater colony world with little trade, little influence, and no real friends. Then the pirates come. All of them. In the dark between stars, the colony's last desperate broadcast goes unanswered... until the newest, least respected members of the Council arrive. Humans. Probationary. "Technologically behind." "Unproven." The pirates expect easy prey. The Council expects a tragedy. What they witness instead forces a galaxy-wide rethink of one terrifying truth: Humanity wasn't weak. Humanity was restrained.

With the discovery of humanity, came a question, should they be brought into the galactic community?

A collection of short stories exalting the magnificent and terrible potential of the hairless apes from Terra. Basically all the stand-alone stories I've written for that particular subreddit that didn't already fit into another collection.

Alex Ward is an ordinary teen who only feels truly alive in front of his battered PC, flying digital starfighters across pixelated skies. One late-night gaming session, a blinding flash turns his favourite space sim into a doorway, hurling him out of his bedroom and onto the flight deck of the Coalition carrier Aurora, in a distant future locked in a brutal war with the alien Varran. Told he's been recruited because of his extraordinary simulator skills, Alex is thrown into an elite training program under the watchful eye of the hard-edged Commander Imani Hale and veteran pilots who don't quite trust the "ghost world kid." As drills turn to deadly sorties, Alex's instincts and courage are tested in real combat, where failure means more than a simple reload. When a colony at Ypsilon-3 comes under attack, Alex must choose between obeying orders and risking everything to save a fleeing civilian transport. His reckless, desperate manoeuvre may brand him a hero-or get him killed. From bedroom dreamer to "Starborn" ace, Alex has to decide what kind of pilot, and what kind of person, he's going to be among the stars. And yes I admit it, I recycled names etc. from numerous other #HFY & #HaSO stories.
