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?

Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Every legacy has a cost. Every storm has a beginning. When a tragic event shatters their world, a group of brilliant, broken young minds are thrust into a hidden war far larger than anything they ever imagined. What begins as a search for answers soon unravels into a chain of events spanning centuries, planets, and ideologies. At the center stands Fred, a genius inventor- and Max, a force of terrifying intellect and conviction who sees the world as rotten to its roots. One believes in fixing the system. The other believes in tearing it down. As Max's manifesto unfolds through hijacked airwaves and coordinated chaos, Fred and his team find themselves caught in the crossfire of ancient tech, cosmic powers, and the ghosts of Earth's forgotten past. From secret NASA cover-ups to a lost war fought beyond the stars, every clue leads back to an artefact once built in myth, powered by blood, and now buried where no one should find it. But fate doesn't ask for permission. With humanity on the brink and loyalties fracturing, the Retaliants must decide: Do you retaliate to protect the world you know? Or fight to create the world it should've been?Complete

Her entire bloodline is legendary. Now, she's invited to join an elite academy for heroes, a place where everyone expects her to follow in her mother's footsteps. But Hetty isn't her mother.

Some heroes are born. Others are made. Hetty? She was never meant to be either. Warning* includes abuse, self harm, suicide attempt, and bad language
