Anna has always stuck to the background, blending in wherever she goes. She doesn't stand out and has always thought of that as a flaw in her personality. Until the day comes when this flaw is what will keep her alive and untouched by the  strange new controllers in our world. Soon Anna is caught in a society that is driven for one purpose. Anna has no idea what that purpose is and thinking she is the last uncontrolled human, she settles into her daily routine. Trying so hard not to stand out, Anna may just  lose her last chance for human connection and in that, salvation.

Eric misses everything about his old life, his paint set, his music and books, and even his annoying little brother Mark. He is not sure why the chip in his brain and the corresponding biochemical coursing through his veins don't seem to have effected him, but he is grateful for every moment he gets to maintain his own thoughts and feelings. Eric knows there are more like him and he is determined to find a way to escape this life with  his brother and anyone he can find not being controlled like him. Each move he makes is carefully monitored and with each new attempt to reach out to his fellow survivors, Eric is that much closer to discovery.All Rights Reserved

Deal With It ✓ by CrownMatter

COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help.

Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule.
