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

"I'm going to kill them." "Julian!" I gasped. "You can't -- that's murder!" "I'm well aware." "You'll be a criminal." His mouth twisted. "I prefer the term 'outgoing'." "There's nothing outgoing about killing someone!" "Ambitious?" "Not that either." He frowned like he was thinking. "What, then?" "Try illegal." ------------------------------------------------- Brooke Miller moved. She moved to a new town, a stranger in a place frozen in the 80s, unified by a belief she doesn't share. Meeting Julian Jones is both a curse and a prize. Yes, he's gorgeous. Yes, he's cruel. Yes, everyone stays clear of him. But there's something about him that's not quite right, besides his inability to stop staring at Brooke. She doesn't understand him - and yet, she wants to. It isn't long before she finds out monsters own Grove Hill; monsters nobody knows about. And these monsters are desperate to capture Brooke for themselves; a phenomenon even Satan himself is after. Trusting Julian seems like the only choice. Yet, when every vamp wants something, and protection is limited, chances are they'll get it. But if it's the one thing Julian can't stand to lose, how far will he go to keep Brooke safe?

READY SET ACTION || B.B ✔️ by officialcga

"To me you've been dead for five years. Let's call it even" I respond glaring. Sam looks between the both of us. "You two going to order something or are you taking you're drama somewhere else" "One, if you were observing you'd know I already ordered" I point out. "Secondly, I have a mission to finish so I'll be on my way" "Oh right! Because you're an Agent now. We get it, Valeria" Joaquin says sarcastically and with a very sour tone at the end. "Wow! You amaze me sometimes Joaquin. I didn't think apes could be so smart." I reply with just as much sass if not more. Sam let's out a laugh and then covers it up. - Dating before the blip was good for Valeria. She even had a relationship with Joaquin Torres. But just like all the blip changed people lives. But now that everyone is back Joaquin is a tad to young for Valeria. But that doesn't stop her from chasing an 106 year old man.

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!

Oblivion by TheFlame3098

Vitium Cavum. Or, the better known 'Hollow Disease'. Five years ago, in an alternate universe, scientists were on the verge of creating the immortality drug. Only, somehow, it escaped in the early stages of development, when everyone was working to rid of all the negative side effects. Those 'side effects' practically rip a person's soul away from them. Hence the name 'Hollow' Disease, because this virus makes whoever is affected an empty shell with no soul. Now, only a handful of people around the world are currently unaffected by this disease. Some of them had their families torn apart, some lost their friends, and some lost the person they were in love with. And that's where our story begins; in the year 2019, five years after Hollow Disease nearly destroyed the entire world. [Warnings: death, blood, violence, attempted suicide, suicidal thoughts, mentions of stillbirth, and other mature themes]

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.
