|A MANDALORIAN FANFIC · THE 2026 ONC ENTRY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN--LOL!| When a hidden enemy rises from the ashes of the galaxy, Mando and Grogu embark on an adventure with Luke Skywalker and Rotta the Hutt to defeat the threat, as well as restore their unstable emotions after the Dragonsnake. *** After almost dying to the Dragonsnake a few months ago, Mando has noticed a shift in Grogu's behavior; he's overprotective and slacking off on training, clinging to him almost every second. Fearing that he's failing as a parent, Mando seeks out Jedi Master Luke Skywalker for help, since Grogu trained with him for a while, and brings Rotta the Hutt with him, to Luke's hesitation. However, on his way to Luke, he's attacked by a mysterious, invisible enemy, who injures him and damages his Mandalorian helmet. To honor the Creed, Mando replaces the damaged helmet with a new one, only to be thrust into an adventure across the galaxy when Luke senses dark energy from it, and they learn there may be a hidden base in the Outer Rim using technology for unethical purposes. Mando and his allies must now find the mastermind behind this new organization before darkness spreads across the galaxy, and Mando and Grogu lose contact with The Way forever.

My Heir, April 10th, 1808 If you are receiving this note then it means two things. One: your world is about to hit rock bottom. Two: you are my heir, and therefore need to understand that I say these next words with a vengeance in my heart. You must find your way to your estate in Norway.

Amesh is the fourth and youngest child of the Suriname family, a family of well known superheroes that protect not only their world but others that surround it. While his siblings are out saving the world, Amesh is at home playing Mango Life. Unlike his siblings, Amesh has no interest in being the hero of the story, he prefers to be normal. And like all normal teenage boys he locks himself in his room and plays video games all day and night, only to come out when the dinner bell rings. The only family member you don't want to piss off is Momma Suriname, and dinner is always reserved for family meal time. It was a normal family dinner time, the Powerhouses were relaying their adventures of the day, Father and Momma Suriname gleamed at the tales, and Amesh drank his strawberry mango smoothie. That was until the tales became a little too similar to the gameplay Amesh had experienced earlier that day. ======== Written for ONC 2024 Main Prompt: 50 Sub Prompts: 49, 87 Fun Fact: Amesh means "Sweet like a Mango"

The tale of two individuals; one a 22nd century journalist; the other, a cultural Anthropologist. Both of these people's lives will bring them under the shadow of the mysterious, and magnificent Melchior von Engelhardt. For seven years, "The Melk" reigned over the world as pre-eminent prince of technologists. He remade the world, some said, in his own image. Then, he was gone; as if he'd never been born. No one could even find a birth certificate. If only it were as simple as just finding a missing person. Mystery shrouds mystery, and one mystery is simply a gate to the next, to the next, to the next .... Author's note to reviewers: Apologies for the formatting issue with Chapter 3, which led to the protagonists' inner dialogue not being properly italicised. The proof was read in Word, and, presumably I accidentally copied over in plain text. Apologies for any confusion.

For all obvious reasons to his story, Cato should be dead. By some miracle, he's not. Somehow surviving a brutal attack, he wakes up instead to the insistent beeping of hospital equipment, to be told he's the only suspect for the same murder case he was rescued from, found clutching the bloody weapon in one hand with absolutely no clue of how it got there and no evidence to point elsewhere. And the biggest problem? He has no memory of that night. The murder wiped clean, just as bare as the evidence of the case, making it impossible to know the truth. But as his journey to finding the truth continues he can't ignore the growing nagging in his gut that there's more to this. Something else was there that night. Someone. And, by God, he was going to find out who (or what) was in that alley with him- Even if it kills him. {ONC ROUND 1 AND 2 QUALIFIER!!}

#OpenNovellaContest2019 *Prompt: Romance Fiction #1 - Kiss and Tell* Have you heard? Nathaniel kissed that weird girl on the football field...

No more Reach, mission successful.... right? Realization slapped Bart in the face, his perfect facade of a chipper-speedster-tourist tearing at its seams. He hadn't allowed himself to think that far ahead. He hadn't allowed false hope to motivate him, but now they had won, yet at what cost? He was stranded in the past with the trauma of a future no-one would ever come to understand. And despite the rule he set of no emotional attachments the consequences of his indirect involvement with Wally's death -something that wasn't meant to happen yet- hit him harder then he would ever admit. Nevertheless, he stood still; soaking it all in as he donned the signature red and yellow suit. He would became the replacement nobody wanted and he would do so wearing the smile he had rehearsed. (AU of Young Justice season 3. None of the characters or setting belong to me, they belong to their respected owners).

It only takes 2.4 seconds for a radio wave to reach the moon. After 4.5 hours, the wave reaches Pluto; by then we'd already lost Seattle. In 4 years the signal can make it to our nearest star, Proxima Centauri; by then the dead had taken over the United States of America. ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ My name is Fernie, and I've never seen a zombie.

Apart we survive, but together we thrive. That's what The Wave has taught me. It's told me stories, sang me songs, and spoke of our history. I want to rebuild what we lost, but I can't do it alone. The Wave will help me find others, there has to be others. My name is Fernie, and I've never seen a zombie. I don't know about the world my great-grandparents grew up in, but I sure know it was bigger than fifty-miles. It's been nearly a hundred years since the world ended, how far do you think the wave is now? ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ How do you outrun the living dead? For three brave teenagers, the answer lies in their homes. One off the coast of what was once Alaska, one high in the mountains of South America, and another separated from them both by an endless sea. Alone they only have fragments of the history of their planet, but together they can discover where they came from. Join Fernie, Naira, and Kupe on their crusade to rebuild the world. While mountains and oceans may separate them, the waves that travel across the sky unite them. ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ mediocre cover art by yours truly <3 OpenNovellaContest2020 entry inspired by prompt 41.

Damian's family are all superheroes, with all three of his older brothers being well known within the superhero community which means they're often saving Gotham and the off shoots to the city. Then, one day, to spend time with them, Damian decides the route is to become a villain called Rouge George and life becomes more interesting, or so Damian thinks. Disclaimer - I don't own Young Justice. This is one of my ONC projects for this year. The prompt I am using is prompt eighty-seven, "You come from a family of highly respected heroes. All three of your big brothers are known as powerhouses, but you rarely see them since they're always saving the city. One day you realise that the only way to see all of your brothers is to become a villain. Turns out you're better at it than you thought, and family dinners suddenly become the most amusing time of day." For obvious reasons, that was a difficult one to pass up, but to make it work I didn't just go with the character's as is, but instead decided to go AU with Jason not becoming Red Hood in this and bringing Damian home to Wayne manor at a much earlier age which is what the first few chapters of the novella will cover as this will be important later on. And then the fun begins.
