adventure airships dieselpunk mutants romance skyborn steampunk survival

Humanity always finds a way to survive. When poison gas makes the surface of the earth uninhabitable, humanity moves below ground in massive mines, and above in floating cities. The brave few who venture to the surface between noxious clouds to scavenge supplies for survival have a lifespan of months. Mutated animals and pirates add to the danger. But the pay is good, the crews are rowdy, and the job is never boring. Leon was born to sail the skies, living for that adventure, but he's plucked away to face the strange society below ground. Leon's brother Iddo was born for the quiet solitude of a monastery, but with his older brothers disappearance, the family business falls on his unprepared shoulders.All Rights Reserved

The Pirate Hunter's Game (Finished) by RCDavis_Writes

Note: This story is finished and is terrible. The Pirate Hunter's Game Captain Jessip Sharp is a disgruntled merchant who has lost fortunes to air pirates countless times. The Governments of the floating cities scattered across the thirteen skies do nothing but make it hard for an honest man to make an honest living. The Good Captain takes to the skies once more. This time he is taking matters into his own hands. To hunt down and destroy the pirates that have for so long caused him grief. Even if, by the Government's definition, that makes him a pirate as well. Will Captain Jessip Sharp rid the skies of pirates, or will he soon discover that maybe the pirates aren't so different from himself. My name is Demon. And I hope you enjoy my steam powered, post apocalyptic story of airships, flying cites, and crazy redhead pirates.

Brass Skies Vol. 1: The Battle of Chesapeake by JPKent80

"Declaring our Independence From the British One Airship at a Time." The colonies tried to protest once. They were brutally and ruthlessly crushed by the Red Coats. Now, no one thinks of rebelling. Not when the British have forts all throughout the colonies. Not when the British navy controls the skies, their airships looking down over the entire world like hawks poised to strike. Not when the price isn't just death, but the deaths of potentially everyone you love. But in a world ruled by fear and power hope comes from the unlikeliest of sources. There are always those that are pushed to far, who have lost a little too much, or who simply need the freedom of the skies. Those are the pirates; a collection of rebels, thrill-seekers, victims, and criminals whose motives are as diverse as their personalities but who are all headed towards a single flashpoint that will change everything. These are some of their stories.

A sky pirate's last flight by TrevorStephanson

Nathaniel has been a pirate for half his life, sailing the clouds on airships powered by steam and magic. He has grown tired of the danger and hardship and wants to start a new life free of his past, perhaps with a woman by his side. This is a rewrite of my earlier short story "A pirate's last flight." I decided to rewrite it for a couple reasons. First to refine it and polish it a bit more. Second, and more importantly, to put it in the low fantasy/steampunk inspired world I'm currently writing other stories in.

The Maad Doctor [The Maad Series #1] by JaxonBlacc

On a night where everything changes, Don and Sky are on separate missions that take place at the same event. By the end of the night, the two become the talk of Virtue City without anyone knowing who they really are. And by the next day, they are the most wanted people in Sin City. Every second that passes, someone new and desperate joins in on the bounty to catch them--dead or alive. So when the two cross paths and realize what the other has done, they embark on an adventure full of steam-powered gadgets and machinery, all in an attempt to stay alive for as long as possible. But what they don't know is: On that fateful night in Virtue City, their actions gave birth to The Maad Doctor. Copyright © JaxonBlacc. All Rights Reserved.

Complication by ragraves

This Week, Chapter Fourteen: The conclusion. Fate is on the line in this steampunk-esque, adventure, fantasy novella. Michael Bandolier, a simple bookbinder from Wind Quarry, accepts an offer from the oddest of characters who says he can aptly correct his fate and put his destiny back on track. By taking a paying job to hunt down the mayor’s stolen watch, Michael Bandolier finds himself fulfilling a secret family destiny. With the help of Debora, his underestimated secretary, Michael is wound into the ultimate struggle between good and evil, trying to save a world that is nothing like he imagined. The enemy has acquired a map that leads to the complicator, a legendary device said to contain the power to reshape the earth. But even with fate, and a newly discovered family history at his back, Michael learns he can't succeed without the help of his unassuming office assistant. Debora proves to be more than just the quiet office help, and Michael can never look at her the same again. The first in a series of fantasy novellas, this story is set in an alternate world of steampunk-esque qualities, such as airships, paddle-wheel boats and secret machines buried deep in the earth. Michael and Debora's mission takes them from the Great City to the canyons of Wind Quarry where they face the stark question- Is fate a friend or a foe?

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

The Dragon Chase: A Tale of the Everburning City by Arveliot

There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Once Upon A Steampunk by delapr007

Story 2 of short Steampunk story, an aircraft officer and a postman try to find the cure of a strange poison in an island full of dragons and sky pirates. To me, Once upon a Steampunk is a captivating journey into an alternate reality, where the gears of the Industrial Revolution turn in harmony with fantastical elements and a touch of Victorian elegance. In this mesmerizing tale, the air is thick with steam, and the clinking of mechanical contraptions resounds through the cobbled streets. Immerse yourself in a world where steam-powered marvels and clockwork wonders coexist with corsets, top hats, and elaborate fashion. The landscape is a fusion of the familiar and the extraordinary, where towering airships navigate the skies and intricately designed automatons carry out daily tasks.
