Terith
"If the Terithian people could be described as a small child or lonely lamb, then SWARM would be a hungry lion, lustfully licking its teeth." A small group of people journeyed from Earth to the planet Terith hoping for a more peaceful life. No one foresaw the divisions that would manifest between those who wanted to encourage growth and prosperity for all and those who wanted Terith only for personal gain. SWARM arose like a snake under a rock, devastating us in the course of a few hours. I was caught in the middle, determined to stop them from ruining the only home I've ever known. I knew I couldn't take the might of SWARM on my own, so I recruited my friends to help me. Given aid by them, along with the Varius, a special gift from my father, we were willing to do just about anything to end SWARM. But before I seem like a hero, it might be worth mentioning that this all started because of a girl - I was only human, after all. She was everything I didn't know I needed. I don't regret that it started this way, but I will forever regret what this fight cost me. She helped me realize that a good portion of the evil I was fighting...was hiding in my own heart.Complete
SIN
"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.
Children of The Spheres
In the centuries following The Fraying, humanity has clawed its way back from the brink. In a galaxy fractured by conflict and guarded by fragile alliances, civilization thrives under a veneer of technological prowess, its people riddled with cyberware enhancements that blur the line between human and machine. But an ancient and unknowable threat looms just beyond the stars-an enigma that only a select few are beginning to unravel. Told in gripping first-person, this story thrusts readers into high-octane action and brutal combat, where every decision comes with lethal consequences. With its dark, gritty atmosphere and visceral violence, this tale is not for the faint-hearted, offering a raw, unflinching look at survival in a fractured universe crafted for an adult audience.Complete

Empowered
As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.Complete

Knot Two Omegas (Part 1)
Two Omegas, one pack, a love forbidden by law. Locked up in the omega facility for thirteen years, Sadie's lost hope she'll ever find a mate when Jake appears bruised and bleeding at her door. While Sadie fights the ghosts of her past, Jake is unwilling to face his future as an Omega, even though he has a pack waiting for him at home. Their blooming relationship is heading straight for disaster, when one of them is due for a heat. Without an alpha a heat can have deadly consequences, but mating with one is a sure way to break two Omega's hearts. "What am I?" "Mine," he hissed. "I want you to be mine." "Then make me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is an mmmfmm omegaverse reverse harem/why choose story - it's also a non-shifter OV. There will be a happy end (at some point). This is intended for 18+ because it will include mature content as the story progresses. Part 1 ends on a cliffhanger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm gonna include trigger warnings as they come up, as I'm still in the process of writing. So far that includes: eating disorder, past abuse, attempted rape (past), dub con, and if you feel something should be mentioned, that I didn't, please let me know and I'll include it.Complete
Nanobots, Murder, and Other Family Problems
My father saved the world once and he's working on saving it again, but I'm going to kill him. Even if the nanotech he pioneered might solve every problem facing the earth, he still needs to die for what he did. I don't care that I'll get experimented on like a lab rat, that I'll have to join his cult-like Butler Institute and pretend to be his loyal follower like my hundred brothers and sisters, or that his tech makes him nearly invincible. I'll pay whatever it costs, even my own mind, to get the power I need to take my revenge. I owe Mom that much.Complete
Pregnant By The Alpha ✓
"You are mine to kiss," Damian kisses me and runs his hands through my hair. "You're mine to own," He sank his teeth into my shoulder, marking me and owning me forever since we were mates. "You are mine too fuck," He bends me over his desk, thrusting deep inside of me. "You are mine to love," He trails kisses all over my neck, whispering words of love and affection in my ear. "You. Are. Mine." Damian Reed gives me a beautiful diamond ring, which must cost a fortune, but he doesn't care how much money he spends on me, he could give me the world. Damian Reed is my stepbrother, we have a strained relationship, we always avoided each other, and I think he hates my existence. He's an Alpha, he's hot, cruel and a total player, jumping between girls since he doesn't believe in mates. Until he finds out that I'm his mate, his omega, our bond is forbidden and taboo, but he sets his mind to own every single part of me even if he has to kill those around him.
