Alienus
No one expected that it would happen until it did. Earth was dying. We, the few who survived the disease, were all contained in cells with artificial light and oxygen and food in the form of pills. So when help came in the form of C'Riel, an alien race that lived in a planet called Xe'Krein, many people found hope. But I was wary. Why would the C'Riel help us? How did we benefit them? What I didn't expect to happen was meeting him. The fire-eyed alien. My alien. And then I found out, that sometimes answers to the questions we want to know are sick and leave you wondering if everything was a lie.Complete

My Virtual Darcy 🏆 2021 Wattys Shortlister
What would you give up to dive into your favourite story? Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all. For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device. By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet! As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions. The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur. ⚠️ Content and/or trigger warning ⚠️ This story contains one scene of (unsuccessful) sexual coercion, and mentions domestic violence and death by domestic violence, which may be triggering for some readers. 📖 Featured 19 times!

SILVER EYES (GXG)
[2024 WATTYS WINNER] Data predicts they will fail. Their hearts say otherwise. In a world sliced in two by a violent, massive wall, there are only two choices: struggle for survival in the dead lands of the Other Side, or surrender your identity to the data-driven Reg Society. When Grace Hayes and her brother Michael decide to cross the wall into the Reg Society, they have no idea an explosion will tear their world apart, leaving Michael stranded on the Other Side. Grace, now alone in a high-tech "paradise", is assigned as a Naval Officer. Her mission? Protect the wall. Her reality? A cold, blue-eyed superior, Heather Anderson, the woman who closed the gates the day of the attack and left her brother behind. Getting close to Heather might be the only way to uncover the truth and bring Michael back. But in a society where memories can be bought, altered, or erased, trust is a dangerous game, and falling for the enemy was never part of the plan.

Desiderium
Signs of a great impending drought spread across a kingdom with a king too afraid to acknowledge them. The mechanisms meant to prevent this inevitable collapse began to fail, and a fringe movement arose. The reverants believed the only way to survive the coming mass extinction was through ruthless population control. Under the orders of their messiah, the White Lady, they took matters into their own hands, executing anyone who failed to make what they deemed a meaningful contribution to society. Wattle, a young woman from the capital, Townsend, is forced to join the army after her mother dies tragically in a house fire. Slowly, she begins to see that all is not as it seems: the King is hiding secrets, and the White Lady's influence stretches into places she should never be able to reach. At the same time, the young prince, Malin, must confront his father's failures and find a way to enact change in a world dictated by the relentless calculus of power. Yet beneath the chaos, the fear, and the cruelty lies something unshakable: the quiet, unwavering goodness of humanity. It survives in small acts, in love that refuses to be extinguished, in laughter, tenderness, and the care we give one another despite the corruption around us. It is this fragile yet indomitable goodness that can outlast the most terrible schemes, proving that the capacity to love, even in a world bent on destruction, is the most powerful force of all.

If you don't do what I tell you to do, I will murder every person you care about, including the hobo back there. Do I make myself clear?"
