Jules is a young man barely a century old. He's lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies...and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World.

Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century. Now in the keeping of a network of "ad-hocs" who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches.

Now, though, the "ad hocs" are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents, and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself. 

Worse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It's only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now it's war...All Rights Reserved

Danger Zone by kiwirazzi

Jules works freelance for various publications after a burnout that literally brought her to her knees. She gets asked to "interview" for a role in Tom's team, especially the German speaking market (we just assume that kinda role exists). She is skeptical to work for him out of fear to be reeled in re: Scientology. Also, due to a VERY ugly breakup with a previous client which led to her compensating her anger with more and more work which eventually caused the burnout, she has one rule: "I don't date my clients!" But once she gets to work with him, and Tom gets to know her better, they start to understand each other. However - there's the anti psychiatry stance of Scientology which will be forever between them. But will it really? Can Tom win her heart and will Jules be able to untangle his Scientology web? ****** DISCLAIMER: this is purely a product of my imagination. Aside from the original characters - Jules, Nora and some others - I don't own any of the people in the story. I also don't own the songs that are being quoted at the end of each chapter. Also, the story was in the making and being written already before some more recent events happened. Therefore, the timeline in the story at the time of writing is different from actual, real life events (e.g. Oscar Nominees Luncheon). ****** PS: if you're looking for smut - go elsewhere ;)

Burning Bridges by written1ngelpen

Longlisted for ONC 2023! "You think they'd spare you? The second they find us--and they will find us--they won't hesitate." He pushed the blade into Jules' hand. "Holding a gun at war isn't a crime." Jules' grandfather is one of the most powerful people in Emaru. Blessed as a dual wielder of glass and stone while most can only control one, he needs to transfer this power to a worthy heir and send them off to kill Kurayami, an out-of-control dual wielder, before he dies. Logically, Jules knows it should be her. They are kin, and family is everything on Emaru. But every day Jules wraps her chest in bandages and "powerful mages don't play dress up". When her grandfather blesses an arrogant boy with his magic, Jules sets off on her own to prove that he made a mistake. After all, she's just as capable of killing Kurayami as anyone. But when she's face-to-face with Kurayami, everything her grandfather taught her about the gods is thrown into question; and maybe those she once called family are no longer deserving of the title. ----------------------------- Glossary: - Molder--those who can wield glass, usually with white or black wings - Grounder--those who can wield rock, usually with grey or brown wings - Castrealms "Casts"--aka dual wielders who can wield glass and rock - Emaru--island nation where the story takes place - Kirama--Julian's hometown where her grandfather was once governor - Chinera--city next to Kirama ----------------------------- CW: mild profanity, mild violence, transphobia, homophobia ----------------------------- Open Novella Contest 2023!

ManBeast - Book 1: A Kingdom of Predators by thebelgraveyard

In the past, the world was filled with sentient creatures known as "Beast-Men" which lived on the fringes of society. Shunned for their outward appearances and lifestyles, these sentient creatures were largely discriminated against and treated as lesser beings, leading to many dangerous skirmishes between species. Thirty years ago, the scientific world discovered that there existed a "mutative variant" present in the human genome which has historically led to the natural conception of Beast-Men within the international populace. This meant that being a Beast-Man was an "act of God" and thus, gave way to the social birth of "homo portentum". After the passing of a landmark legislation a few years after the discovery, Beast-Men have integrated into society, doing their best to balance the social norms set upon them, and the instincts from their past heritage. Enter Julius P. Jones, aka Jules; an artistic subcontractor hired for work within a limited liability partnership, who becomes entangled with an underground society of Beast-Men, known as the Brotherhood of Beasts. His new assignment within the firm would place him under the direct supervision and advisement of an esoteric but brilliant member of the society, who is not only a senior Brother of the fraternity, but is also a senior partner of the partnership. Through his adventures and pursuit of solving the mysteries of his past, Jules comes to learn about his obscure beginnings, the differences and similarities between the "typical and the atypical", the idiosyncrasies of keeping relationships and what it is like to walk in the shoes of another.

Broken Knows Broken (BUCKY BARNES X OC) by CharminglyHumble

The life that J (Jules) Johnson has had is anything but ordinary. Fosterlife hasn't been kind to her due to her abilities and when her only friend Stanlee leaves for the military, she spends 8 years just existing in nothingness. Now that he's finally discharged, she's excited to get things back to the way they once were only to find out he's not the same. The use of her abilities is the only way she can think to try and get back the man she once knew, only for it to lead to her being recruited as an Avenger and meeting the most gorgeous blue eyed bombshell of a man she's ever laid her eyes on. But of course, he's a player, and she plays the game right along with him at first, until someone catches feelings. ----- Bucky's Three Personalities: 1) Original Bucky- The 'OB'. The real one, Mr. Nice Guy. Assuming it's what he was like before all the bad stuff, the gentleman, playful but in a respectable way. 2) Anger Management Bucky- Super critical, edgy with a stare of death. That stare, it makes me worry, like I need to test my drink for fear he poisoned me, or is going to commit arson. Bites your head off, chews you up and spits you out. Gives zero fucks. 3) Fucky Bucky- The seducer. Can't keep his hands to himself and eye-fucks me when he sees me. The one with all the inappropriate jokes, the womanizer constantly taking a number of random assortment of women to his bed. ____ "Do you know what would look even better on you than blue?" His voice is seductive and familiar, I'm obviously talking to Fucky Bucky. I raise my eyebrows waiting for the answer. "Me." I roll my eyes. "Do you ever stop? Do you have some dirty pick-up line book that you pull all these from? I swear if you say 'Do you have any Super Soldier Serum inside you? No? Do you want some?' I just might throw up in my mouth." This is a slow burn, full of sexual tension and banter, just enough to keep your pallet wet until the full payoff at the end. RATED #1 in BuckyBarnesSmut 4/24/22-5/8/22
