Parvati Reddy has one goal: swim fast enough to earn a college scholarship and make her parents proud. As a standout swimmer for Keller High School and the Lakeside Aquatic Club in Texas, she's on the verge of achieving everything she's ever dreamed of. But on June 13, 2026, the world ends. A mysterious virus-ROES (Rapid Onset Encephalitic Syndrome) -sweeps across the globe in hours. It starts with a fever. Then confusion. Then seizures. Then the infected lose all humanity, their brains "rewired" into creatures driven solely by the urge to attack and feed. Parvati survives because she's a swimmer. She knows how to hold her breath. She knows how to stay underwater. And the infected-they can't swim. But survival comes at a cost. Her family is gone. Her friends are scattered. The boy she loves is somewhere out there-if he's even alive. In a world where the dead walk and the living fight for scraps, Parvati must decide who she wants to become. She used to race against the clock. Now she's racing against extinction. And she'll have to go back to the water to find her way home.

She trained her whole life for the deep end. She just didn't know it would be a war zone. Lauren D'Alessandro lives for the water. Between grueling 4:45 AM practices with her Saint Francis High School "Troubies" and battling for national cuts at the Speedo Junior Nationals, the pool is her sanctuary. Her goal for 2026 is simple: drop her 500-free time at the CIF State Championships and earn a college scholarship. Half a world away, SSgt. Michael Nantz is counting down his final months in the Marine Corps. Twenty years of service, countless deployments, and the weight of lost men he couldn't save. He's ready for retirement. Then the meteors stop being meteors. When an alien force descends on California to harvest the Earth's water, Lauren's world floods with chaos. Separated from her family during the Sacramento evacuation, she finds herself trapped behind enemy lines. Her swimmer's lungs and iron endurance are no longer just for medals-they are her only weapons. Thrown into the path of Nantz and his battered Marine platoon, Lauren must trade her swim cap for survival gear. As the Marines plan a desperate strike against the alien command center, they realize their secret weapon might just be a teenage girl who can hold her breath longer than anyone else on the battlefield. They don't need a soldier. They need a swimmer. In a race where the finish line is survival, every lap is a fight for humanity. Note: I don't own any of the characters from Battle: Los Angeles except my own.

Pete's story begins with him as a quiet, unassuming boy, entering the hallowed halls of his new senior high school with a mix of trepidation and careful curiosity. His wire-rimmed prescription frames, later so iconic, were already firmly settled, casting his brown eyes in a reflective clarity as he absorbed his surroundings. Dressed in the school's formal, dark wool dress uniform-the standard academic shell-he appeared to be just another unindexed file within the system, a freshman component waiting to be registered. On his first morning interval, amidst the chaotic geometric matrix of hundreds of students navigating the corridors, Pete's focus was already split. His long, thin fingers were meticulously guiding a mechanical drafting compass across a clean parchment sheet, capturing the load-bearing parameters of the complex's gothic architecture. Even as he sat beneath the cold, clinical glare of the campus halogens, his quiet, calculating soul was cataloging the physical environment with the same structured logic that would later define his survival. The presence of the varsity line, the corrupt real estate grants, and the water's ancient curse were still invisible variables to him, but the core script of his analytical nature was already fully operational. He was a perfect component, primed to observe and neutralize any impending diagnostic anomalies that city hall might execute.

Danica Green has one rule for her final season with the Surrey Sharks: no distractions. Especially not Lycus Anderson, the golden-boy co-captain whose betrayal two years ago shattered their friendship. Her teammate, Iris "Flower" Wang is trying to savor every last moment with her best friend, Fraser. But after a hug that crosses an unspoken line, Iris uncovers her freshman-year journal and a truth she's been running from: she's always been in love with him. Now, with graduation looming, staying quiet feels like its own kind of lie. For Danica and Iris, the hardest race won't be in the pool; it's the one against time to mend a broken friendship and confess a hidden love, or watch as their chances disappear into the deep end.

In 2024, she raced for gold. In 2025, she races for her life. Chloe Liew was supposed to be enjoying her summer after freshman year of college. Instead, she's watching the world collapse. The TSJ virus has no cure. No warning. No mercy. Her best friend Victoria is stranded in New York. Gracyn is trapped in Berkeley. And somewhere between the ruins of California and the memory of chlorine-scented locker rooms, Chloe has to find them. Before the infected do. The apocalypse is just the beginning. The real story is who you survive for. Dive in.

This story is about the drama of a friend group, torn about by teenage angst. Will they be able to come together again while they are still young?

"Breathe. Kick. Survive." Those three words got 16-year-old Nora Kaufman through the 500-yard freestyle. They won her a state championship, earned her a spot on the prestigious Gold Medal Swim Club, and secured her a future swimming for the University of Michigan. Her life was lane lines, 5 AM practices, and the deafening silence of the underwater world. But on June 13, 2026, the water turned against her. The ROES Virus-Rapid Onset Encephalitis Syndrome-doesn't just kill. It rewires the brain. Within hours, the infected lose all humanity, becoming twitching, relentless predators driven by a single urge: to feed. The outbreak spreads faster than society can react, and Arizona's desert heat becomes a furnace of chaos. Now, the pool that gave Nora her speed is her only sanctuary. Her teammates are scattered. Her city is a wasteland. Her family is fractured-and her sister Maya's buried resentments threaten to drown them all. Alongside her boyfriend Ben, Nora must navigate a world where the infected feel no pain, and where every shadow hides a monster wearing a familiar face. But the most dangerous threat isn't the virus. It's the darkness creeping into her own mind. Can a champion who thrived on structure survive a world without walls? Or will she, like the rest of civilization, finally drown in the dark?

"Even though I didn't understand it then Jimin, I don't think my feelings for you are platonic, I don't think they've ever been. I like you Jimin like a whole fucking lot and it killed me too all those years you being so close to me yet just out of reach" You know those couples who have been best friends ever since they were kids, grew up together, figured out they had feelings for each other in about middle school, and finally got together either during high school or college? Yeah, Jimin and Jungkook would have been one of those, they had been almost inseparable ever since they were kids and most people especially Jimin's mother figured Jimin and Jungkook would probably end up falling in love but one day, Jungkook is ripped so terribly fast away from Jimin, both of them did not understand why. Even though Jimin and Jungkook still grew up together, it was not in a "we've known each other for years but we've only been dating for two" way, they still saw each other, every single day but from a distance like they were watching a movie that they so badly wanted to be in. Imagine seeing your first love, the love of your life being happy with other people who don't know him as you do, imagine looking at him living like your relationship never existed. Imagine not being able to explore who you are and being forced to hide it, especially when you so badly want to lean into your desires for the one that you want and have always wanted. To both Jimin and Jungkook, the other was always so very close but always just out of reach. *Disclaimer* None of the pictures and fan art in this story are mine! I just found them on Pinterest
