The Fall by ARayOfPitchBlack

It's a few years in the future and an asteroid crashes into Earth carrying a disease that kills most of the human population. Those under 18 have a possible mutation where instead of killing them the disease gives them an ability...

A Country Life by tristam_james

Three hundred years after the fall, the known world is beginning to regain a semblance of order, with the sword the ultimate power once more. But not everything of old was lost, and there are some that will exert deadly effort to obtain what was left behind. Orphaned, plague-marked and mistrusted by the community he lives in, a boy must come to terms with the fact that he is different from everyone else, but is soon the focus of unwelcome and deadly attention. Separated from her father, a young girl has to learn to survive in a foreign land haunted by tribes of ghosts and roving bands of piratical thralls to a sadistic King. A watcher keeps lonely vigil from within a fortress that has been under siege for hundreds of years, while a soldier dies for the twenty-third time, and dies again while wondering if he is going mad. First started in 2015, this story is at 50k+ words, but was removed when a plotting hiccup was encountered. I now intend to split it into three parts, and this is the complete Part 1. Part 2 will begin once I've finished editing another work... Please vote and comment, as your input will help shape the story. Enjoy!

Playlist for the Apocalypse by Lauryn_Low

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024 - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024 - #4 Dystopian - #1 Cure

Silent Rebellion by TheOnly_MysteryGirl

Keep in mind this was my first story. Imagine being trapped in a world that decides everything for you -- how much you eat, how much sleep you get, who you love, where you live, even when you die. So when Evelyn is chosen along with 47 other "young leaders," what will happen when she meets them? And when the impossible happens, what will happen to those young leaders? (Think Hunger Games mixed with Matched mixed with a little bit of Divergent, as those were my inspirations as I wrote)

Wither With Me by UncleNarga

In this dark and ruined world, Nora tries desperately to survive. Not only for herself, but also for her friend Claire and her little sister Lilian. She struggles to overcome her own weakness. She struggles to run away from her own inner demons. She struggles in a world that gives no second chances.

The Immunity by thelonelywriter9

The world in 2102 is basically chaos, most continents have been obliterated - the upper half of North America, all of Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, and Africa. The United States and Mexico remain untouched, but the threat is closing in on them. The threat is RD15, a disease that starts on your insides and rots your body till you die. It was mutated by rats, taken by mosquitos, who then gave it to humans, who started giving it to each other. Not one person has ever survived the disease - well as far as records go. Phoebe Johnson lives in Northern New Hampshire, dangerously close to Canada where the disease is closing in on the United States. The people around her are frightened, knowing they are all going to die once RD15 reaches the U.S. Except, as always, the United States of America decides to take matters into their own hands and leaves Phoebe in even greater peril than before.

When Evelyn and her group find one of the only children left on Earth-an Autistic child-the Devil begins lurking in the darkness, following their every move. Of all the horrors the Earth now holds, none are comparable to how treacherous the living become once humanity is thrown out the window.
