"Inspired by the great travel literature of centuries past, intrepid TV presenter N. Arraytor and his long-suffering camera crew set off on a spaceship-crashing, budget-busting adventure to visit every planet in the solar system in 80 days...
"It's several centuries in the future. Man has finally reached for the stars to explore, discover and exploit our home solar system. With great power comes great responsibility and great deals for budget holidays on Mars! What with space becoming the next package holiday destination and all, there's a wonderful opportunity for mankind to document itself doing one thing that it seems very good at: exploring."
This mocumentary is heavily inspired by the writings of two favourite authors of mine, namely Michael Palin and Jules Verne, both who can/could write epic descriptions of life on a journey. Also, a lot of the technology and space ships described in this story are lifted directly from addons for the spaceflight simulator "Orbiter", an amazing piece of software from http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk.
Work in progress, I'm pretty busy at the mo', so the guys may be stuck on the moon for a wee while...

What You'll Find On Earth - Bellamy Blake x Reader (F)
MY ADDICTION TO BELLAMY BLAKE FUELED THIS. ~~~~~~~~~~~ (Y/n) Griffin has always been the protector - especially when it comes to her younger sister, Clarke. So when Clarke is thrown into the Ark's lockup after their father's death, (Y/n) isn't sure if this nightmare is the beginning of the end... or just the beginning. Then the unthinkable happens: One hundred juvenile delinquents - including Clarke - are exiled to a devastated Earth, a planet still poisoned by nuclear fire and haunted by its own ghosts. A death sentence wrapped in false hope. If Clarke's fate lies there, (Y/n) knows she can't stay behind. But Earth is no salvation. It's a savage world where the ground itself seems to turn against you, where shadows lurk in every forest, and survival demands impossible choices. Friends become enemies. Allies become threats. And every step forward might be the last. Back on the Ark, power games and cold betrayals shattered trust. Down on Earth, the lines between right and wrong bleed together, and no one is who they seem. (Y/n) finds friendship within the 100 kids. Although Bellamy Blake - a leader forged in fire - is both a rival and a puzzle she can't crack. His loyalty is fierce but unpredictable, and his demons run just as deep as hers. In a world where trust is scarce and every moment could shatter everything, can (Y/n) balance war, loyalty, and a heart she never expected to surrender again? Life changes in an instant. And within this game, one wrong move means losing everything. ~~~~~~~~ Completed: December 2024 The 100, Seasons 1-5 (imo it went on for a bit long and then I didn't even get around to watching the last season BUT LIVE LAUGH LOVE THIS MUCH OF IT) All the characters are from the show aside from the ones that are obviously not in the show (i also recommend the incredible books but they're quite different!)Complete
Runaway World
During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...Complete![War || Bellamy Blake ¹ [ EDITED COMPLETE ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/330595915-256-k968543.jpg)

Green | Bellamy Blake
"You say that you have a whole hell of problems, but you underestimate the hell I've been through," I murmur, as he tilts his head downwards towards mine. He glances back in forth between my eyes for a moment before taking my cheek in his hand. He brings his lips centimetres from mine. "We can walk through any hell the world throws at us," he whispers finally before presses his lips against mine. ~~~~ After Hailey Arrette Kane is found as being a second child to Coralie Kane, she is forced into the Skybox per her sister's request. Her sister, Arlo Riv Kane, managed to convince her dad and the council that she needed to die in Hailey's place, allowing Hailey to live just as long as she did but in the Skybox. After her 21st birthday, which marked her fourth year in the Skybox, the council made a decision. They were going to send 100 delinquents to the ground as an experiment to see whether the level of radiation was survivable or not. In doing so, they managed to sentence almost all of them to an untimely death that was almost inevitable. With the idea of freedom, Hailey knows that she is never safe and that if weaknesses are shown, someone will use them against her. Will she be able to overcome her emotional and mental walls, even if it means that she'd be vulnerable? Being on the ground will change Hailey in ways that the people on the ark would never expect. She will find a better version of herself. Hailey will become what she was always meant to be, a warrior.
