Providence, a world governing organisation, promises a utopia for all citizens, but to ensure that, they result to death threats. 
Work for Providence.
Or die.

Chronos Counting is written from the perspective of a young teen, Dan, and follows the choices he makes as Providence unleashes their evil schemes - which threatens the lives of his hard-working parents.

Providence isn't all it makes itself out to be. 

And what will Dan do once he realises that the watch isn't the only thing connecting him to Providence?All Rights Reserved

The Inadequate Experiments: 1. White Noise [Rough Draft] by sianywu22

It started with a War. It ended with a Watch. But the Watch was only the beginning. The Watch counts down the days until you meet your Soul Mate. Five-hundred years into the future, in a world ruled by science, Sera Grey is a mystery, starting with the strange circumstance of her birth. Her whole life she has been told the same story; her mother contracted a disease that resulted in immaculate conception. Sera was the result. But what if this story was a lie? When Sera's Watch ticks down to zero as she meets Oliver Jackson, her life gets turned upside-down. As she tries to unravel the mystery of her Watch, and the mystery of the Scientists, she may just unravel the mystery of her birth at the same time. NOTE: This story is currently being rewritten on my profile!!!

Of Illnesses And Antidotes by TheNextBigWriter1609

On their 5th birthday, they're dying. By their 18th birthday, they're dead. In a place known only as the Sanctuary, children of an inferior race known as Ebonies are forced into being test subjects. But they have no idea what they are doing. Their lives are no longer their own, their freedom and rights non-existent in a world where they are believed to be the cause of a fatal virus. For that, they must pay by being drugged, abused, ill-treated and experimented on in order to combat the disease they started and cure the Ivories they unleashed it on. Naomi is an Ebony. But she is also an Ivory. Her curiosity and intelligence have led her to the truth. And she knows she must escape. But how can she escape when she is already dead?

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path by AM-Morning

(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3

This Is Not The End. by BeaDarby

Skye Jones knew the world had been screwed to hell years ago. What she didn't realise is that she would be expected to save it. After five years in an isolated facility run by the American government with other kids like her, Skye is released into the nightmare beyond the barbed wire walls to trial a safe route to Washington DC. It's the first breath of fresh, unfamiliar air which she wouldn't get beaten for, but that doesn't take away the danger. She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there. With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital. Yet, this isn't as straightforward as they thought, and they begin wonder if they'll live to make it out the other end. [60'000 - 70'000 words]

Icarus Born by LysanderMacleod

To deliberate a chilling proposition: engineer a chosen child, a beacon of hope in humanity's darkest hour. Dubbed "Project Icarus," this audacious plan will, challenge the boundaries of morality and hubris.

Will he or the others he has recruited to his cause have the tenacity to see their plan through to the end? Or will it fall apart alongside the world around them. Hello! I am a college student who loves to write, this is my attempt at my first novel. It's my hope to be a fulltime writer someday, so any comments or critiques are more than welcome! Chapter five is out!

Trellis by Oddity13

Rheon is a hacker. When she receives a letter from the mayor, she is almost certain that it calls for a fine, or, at worst, an arrest, only to find out that she is required to aid four young superheroes in their quest to defeat one of the worst villains ever encountered by Arcadia's people. She hates this arrangement. She decides to sabotage the whole mission. What does she owe the very force that has made her stay in crippling poverty for twenty years? Rheon starts by assassinating her teammates, thinking that it is what will finally free her and others like her from the ruling class. But how free is she, really, to make her own choices within this framework of politics and schemes? Warnings: A lot of death, suicide, dark stuff. I am so sorry to inflict this upon the world.

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Storming in the Past by Lexi_M343

A seemingly harmless adventure turns into the cause of millions of deaths; a boy with a horrible past could have an even worse future; and I, Sam Damen, am responsible for it all. The year was 3087 when the world's third time machine was built. This time it was going back in time and I was going with it. I arrive in 1347 and before I know it, my fears I couldn't even imagine, have come true. The Black Plague is beginning to spread and it's all my fault. Along my journey I meet someone, my heart is crushed when it seems the Black Death has plagued their life. If only many lives hadn't ended so soon because of me, if only fate had been in my favor, if only I could have prevented what lay ahead.

Tick Tock (Destiel Soulmate AU) by fandoms13

Although it does not have a literally have a full out rape scene, it has scenes /right/ before and after, so while technically it doesn't, you could say that it does. It also deals with alcoholism and alcohol abuse, along with drug use, marijuana to be exact, and psychological addiction to it.

Star Kissed by LizzyFord

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
