Earth is dying. Resources are running out and already more than half of the planet is uninhabitable. Not to mention the fact that humans are near extinction.
But there is hope for the human race. On the first day of each year, the Leaders of Earth (LOE) put together a list of people turning eighteen and pick out one hundred names at random. Each of these names is paired with another to form a Pair which will then be sent out into the universe to search for a new home for the humans.
Zach and Charlotte are one such Pair. Trained almost from birth for a destiny like this, both are well prepared for the journey ahead. But while Charlotte can't wait to escape Earth, Zach isn't so sure. The further the Pair travel from Earth, the closer he grows to jeopardising their mission. Can she convince him otherwise before they both end up dead?

Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Complete
khaos
A spiritual connection governed by complex destinies, entangled with the chaos of fate - where neither of them knows whether they were meant to meet, or if it was merely a strike of luck from (khaos) "Ours was a fate to love - not to survive. That energy they felt - that overwhelming spark between them... They couldn't understand it, couldn't name it. They were caught in a war between a love that tore and mended at once. Should they keep going, or simply surrender? If this meeting was a curse, then why had fate allowed it at all? Why did it feel as though their souls had known each other forever - as if they were meant to intertwine? Was it chaos... or was it a gift? Perhaps they were two souls in one body, a star that refuses to burn out, no matter how dark the sky. Neither of them was whole. Both carried restless, aching spirits, searching for home. But still... "Was this meeting truly destined for them?"
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
