"MAKE A FRIEND TO DESTROY AN ENEMY"

Henrietta is a war hero and minor celebrity- and the newest member of TORCH's legislature, the Sorority, Retta is a million times more comfortable in her armor fighting aliens than she is in suits giving speeches. And yet Grace, TORCH's most iconic leader, insists that she sees something in the brash young soldier. That means Henrietta is about to get a crash course in how TORCH's government works- just in time for a massive series of coordinated terrorist attacks to rock the protectorate. If Henrietta can't navigate the minefield of factionalism and grudges, not to mention Grace's sordid past, then the massacres will continue with nobody to stop them- and TORCH itself may cease to exist.

Worlds collide- editing by Jacaranda

'Their curiosity and greed unleashed the darkness; only her light can destroy it.' A mission of a lifetime. New acquaintances that have the potential to become more. Overprotective parents and a sister from another mister who always has my back. My life is anything but normal and I believe it's about to become even crazier. Meet Freya Jones! On the outside she seems like your typical seventeen year old; quirky and sarcastic, rebel with a taste of discovery. But get to know her and you'll find she all that and much more. With parents who excel in their fields of study, they ingrained in her the values and lessons of what it means not only to be a scientist but also a soldier. This is also true for her Best friend Tanya Riker; who for all intents and purposes is her less evil, more cautious but just as rebellious twin. These two have made it their mission to ensure no expedition ever goes smoothly. But what if their latest one... the most important one so far! Has a few bumps in the road, except this time it isn't their fault. Can the 'Loki twins' rise to the occasion? Can they become a missions saviour instead of its saboteur? Read on if you wish to find out.😏 I'm now editing this story but please read and give any feedback! I welcome all opinions :) DISCLAIMER: All artwork used for each chapter are found on google images. Some have been altered to match the aesthetic of the story But I DO NOT OWN ANY OF IT.

By Any Magical Means Necessary by DecolonialBlack

While attending the 2038 annual Juneteenth march with her friends, activist and archivist Amina Fernandes witnesses a devastating terrorist attack using a mysterious technology that leaves dozens of police officers dead and injured. As the local Black community suffers under the resulting occupation by a federal taskforce seeking to apprehend the terrorist, Amina stumbles onto evidence that the attack might have been a false flag. Horrified by the implication of this information and wanting to live up to the legacy of Black radicals she's idolized all her life, Amina decides to do something about this seeming conspiracy and protect her community. Assembling friends and allies to aid her plan, Amina acts to uncover whatever plot is brewing in her city. What she doesn't know is that her need for answers and justice will spark a series of events that will change everything and test how far she's willing to go to live up to her revolutionary values. ------- Get early access to new chapters, chapter syllabus, and other goodies by subscribing to my Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/DecolonialBlack

Cut by AnnelieWendeberg

★★★★★ "right up there with Hunger Games" I've reached my expiration date. Not that it matters. We're all going to die. To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can't help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner -- a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she's learned about the end of the world. His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas. Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow: Kill. Survive. Because the final wars were never meant to end. ________________ Available books in the 1/2986 Series: Book 1: CUT Book 2: FOG Book 3: ICE Book 4: VOW Audio books narrated by Emma Galvin (Divergent Trilogy, Touched, A Shade of Vampire) are available at Audible.

The Day Earth Died by seafics

At 16, Malory has been tending to her blind mother, Elizabeth, for as long as she can remember. When resources grow thin, she, in hopes of fleeing her past, pretends to be a man to enroll in the Recruitment, working for the government. She befriends Amell, a boy from her neighbourhood, finds within herself a passion for boxing and, above all, experiences peace of mind for the first time; she lives her best life 6 months into her enrolment. What she doesn't expect is that she'll be caught in a nasty mess. Consequently, when she doesn't feel like life is worth it anymore, Malory is tasked with saving everyone from the claws of the governors and she cannot back out. Her only consolation is that when you're at rock bottom, you can't sink any further. --- Trigger Warning: violence, abuse, drug use, firearms, intimacy, suicide, mental health. Flat Earth AU!

Code Red by BabyBluez17

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.

The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist] by sophvergeletti

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting. [minimal changes] The plot will generally be the same, I'm just removing some plot holes and grammatical inconsistencies* #974 dysotopian - out of 1.8k stories #442 science fiction - out of 5.9k stories

MAD by cvilyn

Wattys Shortlist 2022 - In the shadow of a ruined world, survival comes at a cost. Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear. The bombs didn't just destroy cities; they unleashed two devastating plagues. D.V.B, a deadly airborne illness, wiped out millions. But M.A.D was worse-a mind- warping disease that turns victims into violent, flesh-hungry predators. In the RedZone, where hope is a luxury and danger is routine, Violet Warrendale has learned to hide in plain sight. By day, she's the reluctant daughter of a prominent gang leader. By night, she's Viper-a deadly ghost in the underworld, wanted for assassination. Vi has only one goal: escape Lake Darling and disappear. For good this time. But when the military storms the RedZone and abducts everyone under twenty-eight, her plan shatters. Imprisoned in a Reproduction Facility-where survival means obedience-Vi must conceal her identity from the enemy. Worse, her cellmate is the gangster responsible for her brother's disappearance. With enemies on every side, secrets buried deeper than the fallout, and a rebellion brewing in the blood-soaked cracks of the system, Vi has a choice: stay hidden, or burn it all down. ...
