In the ashes of a godless country rose New Prylea, a land founded on the morals and justice system of an all-loving deity named Deo. The theocentric government requires perfect obedience of New Prylean citizens, lest they all be severely and righteously punished.
 
Sixteen-year-old Eve Rivers lives a quiet life as a model New Prylean citizen. She respects her mother, obeys her father, leads flawless examples for her siblings, and above all, never questions the laws of her country.
 
But when Eve meets a mysterious stranger, her carefully-structured world begins to crumble. Daily life and societal expectations suddenly seem twisted and cruel, and her country's god morphs from merciful to bloodthirsty. Eve must make a choice: continue as a rule-abiding citizen and survive, or rebel...and risk losing everything.

The Distance Between Worlds by Galanthe
4 parts Ongoing
Genre: Sci-Fi, Queer Romance (M/M), Slow Burn ​Synopsis: ​Astrogation Specialist Elias Vance is content in the cold, silent vacuum of space. As a solitary observer stationed high above the colonized world of Kepler-29d, his life is defined by rigid protocol, data streams, and the comforting predictability of the void. His mission is simple: maintain the orbital relay and monitor the planet's increasingly unstable environment. ​Eighteen thousand kilometers below, Kael lives a life defined by growth, dirt, and struggle. As a Hydroponics Engineer in a small, isolated agricultural unit on the planet's surface, he spends his days coaxing life from alien soil and wrestling with the oppressive quiet of a colony cut off from Earth. Yearning for connection, Kael sends unauthorized messages to a defunct communication tower-a digital message in a bottle cast into the solar wind. ​When Elias accidentally intercepts one of Kael's transmissions, the vast distance between their worlds collapses. What begins as a reckless, anonymous correspondence becomes a lifeline. Elias, risking his career and isolation, finds himself drawn to the messy, vibrant life of the man on the ground. Kael, desperate for a voice from the stars, finds a conspirator and a kindred spirit in the Astrogation Specialist he knows only by code name. ​But as their bond deepens, the dangerous secrets Elias is sworn to protect-secrets about Kepler-29d's true instability-begin to threaten Kael's life. With corporate security closing in on Elias and the ground below Kael starting to fail, their impossible romance will force them to decide: is their love worth risking the distance... and their worlds?
We Were Stardust Once by rrrick_grimesss
27 parts Ongoing
They were born from the stars, but the world refuses to let them stay. It has been three years since the Genesis Flares, the solar phenomenon that gave birth to Astrans: beings with abilities beyond human comprehension. Some see them as miracles, others as abominations but to those in power, they are a threat that must be controlled, exploited, or eradicated. Fear spreads like wildfire, and war is inevitable. Among the displaced and the hunted, a survivor fights to carve out a future for her people, refusing to let them be erased from history. By her side stands the one who saved her, a sister in all but blood, a friend who has vowed to protect her, even if it means keeping dangerous secrets. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, they must navigate a world that has already decided what they are: enemies. In the heart of the conflict, two minds once dedicated to progress now wrestle with the weight of their own creations. One, a scientist bound by failing health, seeks to undo the greatest mistake of his life before time runs out. The other, an engineer thrust unwillingly into war, struggles between duty, regret, and the burden of being the only one left to fight. Lines blur between vengeance and justice, survival and sacrifice. The choices they make will determine not only the outcome of the war but the future of the Astrans themselves. Before the war, before the fear, they were all the same. They were all stardust once.
