Star Wars Rebels - Shadows of Elysium
In the farthest reaches of the galaxy, beyond the Empire's watchful eye, the Ghost crew embarks on a desperate search for medical supplies. Their journey leads them to an abandoned station drifting in the void - once a beacon of hope, now a derelict relic of forgotten battles. But the station isn't as empty as it seems. Hidden among the shadows is a stowaway unlike any they've encountered before: a young prince, heir to the fabled kingdom of Elysium, a secretive and powerful monarchy untouched by the Empire's iron grip. Ezra Bridger, ever the heart of the crew, forms an unlikely bond with the prince, drawn to his quiet strength and the promise of a world free from tyranny. But as the rebels begin to unravel the secrets of Elysium, they find themselves caught in a dangerous game of power and deception. If they can earn the trust of the monarchy, the Rebellion might gain an invaluable ally. But if the Empire discovers Elysium first, they may find allies amongst the Elysium Federation. As Ezra and the prince grow closer, the weight of their choices looms over them. Will their connection lead to a new hope for the galaxy, or will the fires of war in the known galaxy consume the last sanctuary of the free? In this battle of loyalty, love, and destiny - the fate of Elysium and perhaps the Rebellion itself - hangs in the balance.
She Bleeds for Us: The Galactic Consortium 3
For Gabriel Holloway, a poor kid from the ghettoes of Freetown, Sierre Leone, not much has changed since the arrival of the Consortium. That is until a new protest movement sweeps the country. The Consortium could do so much more for the poor and oppressed, if their own corrupt leaders would only stand aside and let them. But they won't. So they must be pushed aside, at whatever cost. Jake, an American boy, continues his job delivering supplies for the Consortium in North Africa. But it's a region increasingly torn apart by civil unrest and revolution. The poor want more help from the consortium. Local warlords and corrupt politicians want to keep their power. Jake has never experienced anything like it, being in the middle of a huge social upheaval. He has no clue what is going to happen, but he knows where he belongs, in the middle of it all.Complete

AVIAN | ✓
An out-of-solar system colony project gone wrong meant Jessie English was stuck doing most of the work assigned to the deceased science crew. Sticking to his morals meant being left for dead by those in charge. By chance, he meets Luc, a member of the planet's sentient avian humanoid species. All Jessie wants to do now is live out the rest of his days with him, and hopefully get past the language barrier that prevents him from communicating the feelings of love he hopes are mutual. Unfortunately, sightings of a human and an alien together are more interesting to the colony's higher-ups than one would hope. *** Born the runt of his clutch, Luc had never held anyone so small, so soft... He was all Jessie had, so he would do everything to shield him from others of his kind, and by extension, protect the whole human race. -------- AVIAN has been COMPLETED on the writer's end (30 chapters + five bonus stories) and is on a bi-weekly upload schedule.
