"If you would be so kind as to remind me why we're here?"

"'Cause this is our best shot at survival."

"And if we miss the shot?"

"Well then we're both screwed, aren't we?"

It's 2020, and the world is teetering on the edge of a third global war. With the political face in shambles, leaders of nations across the world are being assassinated by a team known only as 'S.A.V.I.O.U.R' or, as British Intelligence likes to call them, 'the wankers who are causing more trouble than Brexit ever did.' 

That's where Sebastian Morozov comes in. Cornered one day after his political History class at Edinburgh university, by a fire obsessed dude called Lin who won't tell him anything except how much he's going to get paid, Sebastian stupidly agrees to help investigate the murders, and try to put a stop to them. 

With society on the brink of World War Three, Sebastian must battle against death, love, debt and a weapon that could cause humanity's extinction once and for all.

Healing A Narcissist's Broken Heart (BoyxBoy/MPreg) by yaoiChibi
20 parts Complete Mature
Eric Giordanio is the hottest male model in the world. Not only is he drop-dead gorgeous, he's also THE bachelor both men and women want to catch by the balls. He has everything and needs nothing. Well, not really 'nothing'. All he ever craved for was the heart of his childhood best friend, Riley Lancaster. But it was a route doomed to fail. So, what's a man to do? Well, he works his ass off until he collapses. Duh~ Enter Jordan McEvanaugh, a male nurse hoping to finish med-school and become a neuro-surgeon in the city's largest hospital. Jordan is hired to work as Eric's personal attendant after he worked himself to exhaustion, contracted to care for Eric 24/7. He's not the most handsome guy out there. Hell, he was the most normal-looking man Eric had ever seen. He also wasn't the type that was the 'handsome guy hidden under a mask of ugly, then magically turns into a beautiful swan'. No, no, no, no. He was plain as the sky was blue. However, Eric couldn't help but be enticed by this man who was the complete opposite of him. With silver-grey eyes, his gaze is piercing and cold that it screams 'not interested'. Was life just messing with him? Maybe, maybe not. Being treated like he had the deathly plague or he had the worst body odor on the planet was not his idea of being wooed, yet he unmistakably falls for it. Diving head first into unfamiliar waters, he tries to reel in the indifferent attendant and, at the same time, face criticisms from people he thought were desperate for him. With all this going on, Eric starts to believe that maybe he really wasn't THE perfect man he thought he was.

I don't take this for granted. This is my first ever story so please don't be too harsh on me but of course I always look forward to receive constructive criticism. I've never really written a story before except for the stuff I wrote for school which was nothing like this. My nationality is German so I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes or if a sentence doesn't make that much sense but I'm quite good in English so this shouldn't become a big problem (I also proofread everything). I hope you enjoy the fanfiction :)
Triple Threat by Camlaaarr
30 parts Ongoing Mature
Please note: this is a story about a poly triad, three folks who fall in love - it is absolutely not a love triangle jealousy story (except literally, as they are all in love in a triangular fashion). James is a teacher at the local evening school, teaching creative writing as he tries to get his own writing published. Robbie is a student in the class, starting afresh after abandoning their family's Big Plan for their life. The two haven't seen each other in eight years, not since the night of their school prom where Robbie rejected James' heartfelt admission of love. Robbie is now out and proud as a non-binary bisexual person, and ready to see if those feelings have persisted. Tension begins to bubble as James gets flustered over Robbie's new life, while Robbie tries to cheekily make up for past mistakes. There's just one problem; James' long-term partner, Fraser. Robbie curses their bad luck - of all the men in the world, James had to pick an attractive, charming, attentive, wonderful boyfriend. But when Fraser indicates that he's open to something a little more *open*, Robbie and James are intrigued. Neither of them had ever considered something outside monogamy, but it certainly sounds interesting... Will Robbie be able to clear their head and figure out their feelings for the two? Will James be able to let Robbie back into his life? Will Fraser welcome Robbie fully into their relationship? Join these three adorable cinnamon rolls as they navigate a beautiful poly relationship together. MATURE BOOK: this book is SPICY and by spicy, I mean I whacked an entire spice rack into it. There will be SO much spice.
Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING] by _silverlining_98
38 parts Complete
The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
