It is the year 2034. A devastating war has ravaged America. The government has collapsed and Ex-Navy Seal, John Hemingway and his twenty four year-old daughter, Claire struggle to survive under the tyranny of a brutal regime, the Glory Revolution Alliance. Driven by near starvation and the allure of freedom, they flee across the post-apocalyptic wasteland of fallen America with the GRA's top henchman, a sociopath named Khalif Miles nipping at their hills.
The journey is fraught with snares and unpredictabilities at every turn. Together, the father and daughter duo endure the harsh elements of nature, forage off a barren land, and fight off rapists, thieves, and wild animals, all while trying to put the fragments of their broken relationship back together.
The stakes are raised when John and Claire are taken captive by the GRA's arch enemy, the Horsemen of Justice, and force John, an Ex-Navy Seal into a suicide mission that could spark a revolution to take back the country. But when Claire escapes, she gets caught in the middle of Miles and the Horsemen Guerrilla warfare style fighting. She must rely on the the training her deceased mother, Sasha gave her to survive against them both and reunite with her father.

The Analyst's Nightmare (Mission Impossible 4)
"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...

Red Fog - A Dystopian Story
She woke up with a sack over her head. Her skull throbbed from the hard blow she had received. But she had to regain her composure quickly. She knew exactly what danger she was in and how it would end for her if she couldn't free herself. She had to become the hunter, not the hunted he wanted her to be. When he finally came to, he still felt dazed, as if he had spent days in a twilight state. He had no idea where he was or how he had gotten there. Only that his stomach, his whole body still ached from the hard kicks. The last thing he could remember was the desperate screams of his sister. He had to go back to her. In a world where nature has reclaimed much after humanity was significantly reduced due to its own fault-and some would say justly so-a young woman must endure the final and toughest stage of her training before she can finally and definitively become the left hand of Ares, the supreme commander of the strongest and most influential paramilitary organisation on the mainland. In the process, she unexpectedly encounters a disoriented stranger who, in this particular and, above all, fenced-off place, actually has no business being there. It quickly becomes clear that his existence is no coincidence - but what is the true reason for it? Who is a friend, who is an enemy? Would it be crazy to try to search for answers together while lurking enemies are out to get them?

By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate.

They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth.

Love and Touchdowns (OCxKylieJenner)
Laken Maleko has spent her life being told she doesn't fit. Too much. Not enough. Wrong lane. Wrong box. She never listened. In her Samoan family, Laken's intersex identity was never a flaw. It was a blessing. A sign of balance. Of strength. Of being touched by the gods. She was raised with discipline by her football-playing father and grounded by her culture, taught to stand tall in who she is long before the world tried to tell her otherwise. From the islands of Hawaiʻi to the heart of UCLA football, Laken carved her own path. As the first intersex woman to play men's college football, she didn't ask for permission. She showed up, did the work, and let her performance speak. Now the NFL Draft is approaching, and history is no longer distant. Laken is on the edge of becoming the first intersex woman selected in the first round. Every rep matters. Every moment counts. The pressure is heavy, especially when the outside world sees her identity as controversy instead of truth. Then there's Kylie Jenner. Public life, private contradictions, and a connection neither of them planned for. What begins as proximity turns into something harder to ignore. But attraction gets complicated when one of you lives under constant scrutiny and the other is protecting everything she's built. Love and Touchdowns is not a fairytale. It's a story about identity, ambition, culture, and desire. About carrying pride without apology. About choosing yourself without closing your heart. And about what happens when the life you were raised to honor collides with the one the world refuses to understand.

Guarded Heart (OCxKimKardashian)
**Spin-off from Love and Touchdowns** Jay Mitchell is a Navy SEAL Master Chief and a history maker. The first female and first intersex team leader in SEAL history, she built her name on precision, control, and a reputation that leaves no room for weakness. On missions, she's untouchable. Off duty, she keeps everything locked down just as tight. Her past taught her how to survive, not how to trust. The only people inside her walls are her Bravo Team, her second-in-command Sonny "Tex" Quinn, and Danny, a retired Marine sniper who runs Dead Center, an elite gun range where Jay trains and finds rare moments of calm with her rescue pit bull, Gunner. Everything shifts when Kim Kardashian walks into Dead Center. Already connected with Danny and preparing for an FBI role, Kim is sent there for real tactical training. Jay wants no part of it, but against her better judgment, she takes the assignment. What starts as strictly professional begins to blur as Kim proves she's tougher, more determined, and more real than Jay ever expected. As training pushes them both past their limits, Jay is forced to face the walls she built to survive and the possibility that connection, healing, and love might still exist beyond the battlefield.
