Irsha and Quenton have known each other for years, but they've never felt particularly attracted to each other- or anyone else, for that matter. But with a new science taking hold of the country, Irsha and Quenton seem to be the only ones who distrust the unnatural means that everyone else wanted to embrace. But as Irsha and Quenton get to know each other better, and begin to think of each other as more than just friends, Quenton finds out that he has only a few days to live before a disease he didn't even know he had. It's not even a choice. Irsha and Quenton immediately make plans to return to their former selves, the thems they were in their teenage years. But fifty years earlier is a long time, and people change. What happens when you find out how your true love used to be?

Butterflies of the Dark Star
Beautiful cover by @deathinreverie (MATURE THEMES WITHIN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION) "It has been said that something as small as a butterfly's wings beating can ultimately cause a typhoon." Nova Spacyn and Neo Teimea, two students straight out from school find themselves in the midst of a galactic conspiracy, where the Ushavex Nebula, a wall around their galaxy, keeps them from discovering the truth. In a society built upon the foundations of the questions unanswered, Neo Teimea seeks to find the single truth - everything about the disappearance of the famous D.S Butterfly, a space station with a population in the thousands when they went to research the nebula. With their own sense of accomplishment in hand, they dock onto the B.H Supernova to chase the last signal of the D.S Butterfly, and come across the sea of stars - and something else. With the broken piece of the wings of time choking their necks, Nova can't seem to find a way to save Neo while the clock strikes once. Over and over again.
