"Watching the stars hurdle by can make one feel small and insignificant. It's an insignificance that is difficult to get over when you feel smaller than everything around you. Feeling especially small is something you get used to though. On earth I was singing in bars trying to make ends meet, and now, I was announcing one of the most formidable warriors in the cosmos."- Scylla

Scylla left Earth to experience life, her life but it came with surprises. Death and a life altering experience; her journey was more than she could ever expected.All Rights Reserved

I wasn't special, I wasn't a marine or a scientist sent here from earth to study Pandora, I was a behaviorist-some say behaviorists are scientists too; but the brain isn't made up of mathematics and hope, it's like the roots of trees. Forever speaking but unheard. I study people's brains and their behavior. I don't look at it with hope and faith. I'm nothing special, not really. When I was accepted to help with Project Pandora, I was exhilarated. This was my big break, something to get me out there. I never expected for it to spiral into my life unprofessionally-become personal, emotional. That I would have to fight in a war between man and alien, choose between my own people and a clan of beings that accepted me-welcomed me, trained and made me one of them. This wasn't supposed to become personal, but it did.

My Baby (Sun/Moon x Reader) by Xmimi89eR

Their planet was forgotten--Destroyed, someone had told them. They were taken a very long time ago, taken and held down and beaten to submission. The more time they waste, the worst. One day they'd grow too weak to do anything--one day they wouldn't be able to even stand. Then, their leg broke. Moon thinks they broke more than that. And when they no longer felt it hurt, they knew they had waited too long to do anything. It was already too late. Until it really isn't. (In which you get hit by a car, punch someone in the face, and self-sign yourself as a caretaker to two aliens.)

Letters from a Star by ruru_222

After her best friend's untimely death, Aurora finds herself stuck in a pit of despair. The joy of life has been sucked out of her and nothing feels real anymore. If she had to use one word to describe her world...she would pick 'numb'. She's freefalling into a pit of despair, fighting between her desire to overcome the grief and forgive her own mistakes...And the fear that she might repeat the things she did in the past and end up losing even more people. But when she finds her friend, Ishani's, journal -- with the words 'To Aurora' written on the front -- everything changes. It appears that Ishani had left a series of steps for Aurora to follow...steps to help her overcome the grief and live her life to the fullest. "Even if we don't ever tell them our story, the stars will whisper about us for centuries. They'll whisper it so quietly that even Icarus wouldn't hear it, if he ever decided to meet the sun's brothers and sisters." this story is dedicated to anyone who's ever felt responsible for the life of another. for the happiness of a friend. it's dedicated to those who would sell their souls to help a friend, or even a stranger, out of depression. the people pleasers. those who push away their emotions for the sake of someone else. i'll let the book speak for itself. enjoy :) TW: strong themes of suicide and death.

Spacial Illusions by The-Auctor

"Those aliens are not my concern, the Earth and her populations are. Now, Callisto of the Scout Regiment to Salutem, as a citizen of this planet and a soldier under my command-" "I stopped being a soldier a long time ago. And those aliens have done nothing to you, you didn't even know they existed until I told you about them. I joined this mission not because I was ordered to, but because I wanted to carve my name in history. But I will not mark my namesake as a murderer of the very first species we have found that is on par with human intelligence! If my legacy is to be the protector of those you refuse to acknowledge, then so be it." The room hissed and flowed with whispers and gossip between the different board members, like a waterfall being heard through thick earmuffs. The only voice to be clearly heard was Director Striker himself. "You are rooting for a lost cause, soldier. It is the manifest destiny of us humans to reach out and touch the stars. And if the only way to touch those stars is to sacrifice a few savages, then that is what we must do." Callisto felt her anger towards a man she once admired swell in her chest and wash through her veins with a burning fire. He was proposing mass genocide simply because he wanted what belonged to them. The wheel of history turns, but nothing is ever new it seemed. "Have you read a history book in your life, Director Striker? Manifest destiny is used a mere few pages before a genocide. It's not a motivation, it's an excuse." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fair warning: this is my very first original story so please be kind to my baby, she is a lifelong passion and a labor of love. •••COMPLETED••• •Please do not copy or post anywhere outside of these pages.
