They've always only had each other. From the time they were children, quartered together in a facility; a last ditch effort to save Earth and humanity. Now grown, they travel the Galaxy, trying to find a safe haven where they can live in peace, finally able to escape the rampages of war.

The four teammates face traumas they never expected as their faiths are shaken and the darkness of the past is brought into light by the appearance of a seven-year-old boy.

Will the team make it out alone and in one peace? Or will the secrets that have been buried for a lifetime tear them apart?

Vennfall by vennrunner
16 parts Ongoing
On the isolated, tidally locked planet of Venn, a fragile colony survives between fire and frost: a scorched wasteland on one side, a frozen wilderness on the other, and a narrow strip of life clinging to the middle - the Verge. Beneath the surface, the planet's power flows through massive rootlines - a semi-organic energy network left behind by something ancient and non-human. Seventeen-year-old Calidae Crey was never supposed to matter. He's a neurodivergent rootline engineer - observant, withdrawn, always chasing patterns no one else sees. But something happened to him in the labs seven years ago. Something dangerous. Something still not fully understood. Now the rootlines are surging again. Now the past is waking up. And the truth is catching up to him. Cal isn't alone. There's a restless tinkerer with grease under his nails and loyalty in his bones. A scrappy girl who won't let anyone she loves be taken without a fight. And a young survivor of a special ops mission that went horribly wrong, who carries his scars along with a deep, unspoken love for Cal's sister - who has gone missing. Together, they'll face a world shaped by extremes and forged by alien hands. A slow-burn sci-fi thriller about found family, trauma, survival, and the secrets that won't stay buried forever. The world is cracking open. And one boy is the epicenter. ◇◇◇ ⚠️ Content warning: This story contains descriptions of injury, medical trauma, and emotional distress.

The One Between makes a Pact with its brother The Lord of No Light, to learn secrets unspoken and find answers to questions unanswered for eons. Is there a God among all this chaos? During this painful journey, the Knowledge The One Between seeks may be the answer but, how much Knowledge can be gained without destroying one's mind? Will the chaos from The Realm of No Light and their brother, destroy their Light and evolve them into a monster they fear-a Being of Chaos? The One Between is willing to sacrifice everything, even its identity, to find what it's looking for and a solution to end the wars. Can humanity evolve from its own destruction?

30 parts Complete

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.
