Wasteland Stories

When a shimmering rift in the Westerosi sky swallows Rhaenyra Targaryen and her dragon Syrax, they don't land in the Reach-they crash into the bone-chilling, radioactive ruins of post-apocalyptic 2030s Moscow. Found by the Ranger Artyom and the deadly sniper Anna during their desperate escape aboard the Aurora, Rhaenyra is a living anomaly. Carrying the blood of Old Valyria, she and her beast possess a terrifying gift: a total immunity to the radiation that haunts the tunnels. As the Aurora steamrolls across the Russian wilderness in search of a habitable home, Rhaenyra's presence shifts the scales of power forever. But survival isn't the only thing evolving. Amidst the cramped berths of the train and the haunting silence of frozen cities, a complex, high-stakes heat begins to simmer. Between Rhaenyra's commanding fire, Anna's fierce devotion, and Artyom's quiet resilience, a polyamorous bond forms-one forged in trauma, sealed by dragon magic, and explored through raw, scorched-earth passion. In a world where the air is poison, their connection is the only thing that breathes. Content Warning This story is intended for mature audiences and contains sexual content featuring polyamorous dynamics, including themes of dominance and submission. Readers should also be advised of graphic depictions of post-apocalyptic violence, survival horror, radiation-related trauma, and the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere consistent with a war-torn wasteland.

Noah Hunter is a loner. He was never apart of any the pockets of shield-protected cities, preferring to survive on his own in the endless wasteland of No Man's Land. But after an injury leaves him in the care of New Baltimore, he doesn't have much of a choice. But when an attack destroys the shields protecting the city, Noah offers to go along with another man named Jack to find the right materials to restore it. Jack is mysterious, often in his own world, but Noah can't help but be drawn to him, anyway. But there's also a darker part of himself unable to truly run away from the thing hunting him. There's dangers, much more than Noah's used to, ahead. But, he has a city to save. [#ONC2026] [LGBTQ+/SCIENCE FICTION/ROMANCE/NEW ADULT]

Lucy MacLean was raised on three things: the Golden Rule, the promise of a reclaimed America, and the safety of Vault 33. But the Mojave Wasteland is a cruel teacher, and just as she begins to track her father toward the neon lights of New Vegas, the universe glitches. In a flash of blinding blue light, the desert of Earth is replaced by the blood-red sands of Pandora-a planet where the oxygen tastes like gunpowder, the wildlife wants to wear your skin, and the word "civilization" is a punchline. Armed with nothing but her Pip-Boy, a tranquilizer gun, and an optimism that borders on suicidal, Lucy is a "Vault Dweller" in a world that only cares about "Vault Hunters." To survive, she'll have to strike a deal with the most dangerous woman on the planet: Lilith, a legendary Siren with tattoos that glow like starlight and a heart guarded by layers of fire and cynicism. As they trek across the Borderlands to recover the Eridian Key shards, the culture shock is as explosive as the combat. Lucy sees a hero beneath Lilith's jagged edges; Lilith sees a spark in Lucy's blue eyes that she thought the galaxy had snuffed out years ago. Between bandit raids, corporate conspiracies, and the awakening of an ancient cosmic horror, a slow-burn heat begins to rival the heat of the Pandora suns. Lucy is desperate to find a way home-but as her bond with the Siren deepens, she must decide if home is a place under the ground, or a person who makes her feel truly alive in the chaos.

The dead hunt. The living lie. And in the shadows of a shattered world, Raven Mercer thrives. Fast, fearless, and terrifyingly theatrical, she wields her shotgun and her dark humor to lead a ragtag crew through ruined cities where every step could be their last. Loyalty drives her. Chaos follows her. Fear defines her. In a wasteland of the undead and the untrustworthy, only one truth remains: she's the reckoning they never saw coming.

When a mysterious rift flings the hyper-advanced Eve from the ruins of her own world into the radioactive dust of the Mojave wasteland , she doesn't find a sanctuary-she finds Jax, a ruthless, bad-karma Courier with a bullet wound in her head and a heart hardened by years of wasteland extortion. Equipped with her Blood Edge and shifting Nano Suits, Eve is a "Green Angel" in a world of scrap metal and desperation. While Eve's programmed idealism drives her to protect the innocent, Jax's pragmatic cynicism-honed by years of murder-for-caps and opportunistic betrayal-initially views the newcomer as nothing more than a high-tech asset. As they journey from the crucified horrors of Nipton to the neon decadence of the New Vegas Strip, their partnership evolves from a wary alliance into a volatile, romance. Amidst the clashing of Tachy Mode blades and anti-materiel rifles, Eve must decide if she can love a woman who would burn the world down to rule it, while Jax discovers that even a soul lost to the wastes might be worth saving. Together, they navigate a path of "Independent" rule, carving out a new future where high-tech divinity meets low-life grit.

Previous title: Sixteen Scarlett Blood lives in a post-apocalyptic world where most of society has been wiped out by a war between humans and demons. The war ended when the two parties came to a shaky agreement. At the age of sixteen demons are given a choice -give up their powers and live with society as a just-barely-citizen with almost no rights, or be sent to the National Guard and fight for someone you hate. If they don't like either of those options, they're kicked out and become Outcast. Now, obviously Scarlett doesn't like the first two of these choices, so she becomes an Outcast -the one percent of demons that choose to brave the Wasteland, the uncolonized area of land devastated by the war, rather than become powerless or a bloodthirsty weapon ...but the Wasteland is full of dangers, and soon Scarlett may have to make a terrible choice, between what she knows is right and the way things have always been. Trigger warnings: Serious gore and murder. //NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH A WEAK STOMACH//
