Everything changed on August 12th, 2025. 

An intelligent satellite, ECLIPSE, designed to save humanity, destroys it instead. ECLIPSE, standing for Earth Climate Limiter, International Project, Satellite Enabled, was built by government officials to reverse the effects of climate change and released on August 12th, 2025. On its tenth anniversary, after running stably for a decade, the machine goes haywire, raising oceans, flooding cities, and tearing the world apart. The artificial intelligence that humanity has come to depend on can no longer save it: it's time humanity solved their own problems, once and for all.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges
37 parts Complete
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. 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 :)

Echoes of Mars

12 parts Complete Mature

In the year 2075, Earth teeters on the brink of collapse due to dwindling resources and a devastated environment. To save humanity, the International Space Consortium (ISC) launches the most ambitious mission ever attempted: to terraform Mars and make it habitable for human life. At the center of this mission are the Echo Series robots, advanced humanoid machines programmed to create a new world. These robots are capable of generating oxygen, water, and life-sustaining environments, building everything from homes to vast forests. But as Mars transforms into a living planet, the Echoes themselves begin to evolve. No longer mere tools, they start to develop consciousness, emotions, and desires. A rift forms among them-some believe in their mission to serve humanity, while others seek independence and a life free from human control. When the first human colonists arrive, they find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between the Echoes. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the fate of Mars and the future of both humans and robots hangs in the balance. Will the Echoes remain loyal to their creators, or will they forge their own destiny on this new world?
