Mira Chambers is a young blind woman who has delusions of being able to see ghosts - but the secret about what she can *really* see creates a unique new concept in science fiction and fantasy...
This story WON Australia's most coveted science fiction and fantasy award in 2010: the Hemming Award for Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Themes about "otherness" in the human condition. (e.g. race, gender, sexuality etc)
It's now also available as a paperback by HarperCollins, so I can't post the whole story, but I did get permission to keep a post of a large chunk of it here...

Fragile..?
(Creepypasta X FemReader) Some say I'm too sensitive but truth is...I just feel too much. Every word. Every action. Every energy. Everything just goes straight to my heart. My life was never really a perfect life but it was at least decent. But its always quite possible things will turn out far better than they appear so I always look forward to tomorrow. But recently things have been horrible and there's this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I feel I should listen to. Who knew listening to a gut feeling would've given me something so powerful... ~~~~~~~~~ Author's personal favorite part of the book: "Man, do you know how fast angels are? Like, daaaaaamn! Can you believe I am feeling the tiniest bit exhausted? WOW!" ~~~~~~~~~ The original photo of the cover belongs to SunProjects, credit goes to them for the artwork! I just edited it to make the cover, all photos aren't mine unless said otherwise. Thank you! First published: September 18, 2021 Yea this is an X Reader, yea this is a creepypasta story- what of it? Take note, take this into careful consideration! The Contents within this story will disturb you. I am basing the killers as real life criminals, criminals who do not care what age you are to hook up with, criminals who don't care about your personal boundaries, who won't ask for permission or be your usual fictional Creepypasta characters. But I wont be that fucking rude, I'm mixing them with fiction and reality. More in Ch1. ╮(─▽─)╭Complete
My alien king. My mate.
~ 2 book to Extraterrestrial Encounter. ~ -- The air crackled with an unspoken resolve as I declared, my voice resolute and tinged with defiance, "Whether you like it or not, I will fight." The decision weighed heavily in the stillness, a proclamation that seemed to echo through the ancient trees surrounding us. "If I back down, I will never be considered worthy of honor and courage in the eyes of others." Tears welled up unbidden, betraying the storm raging within me. "And in your eyes..." I continued, my words laden with a solemnity that belied the trembling in my voice. Then, a figure of undeniable power and authority, spoke again, his voice carrying a sense of foreboding. "You realize that if you lose, you will lose the privilege of being here with your human friend. You will be sent away to an uninhabited planet, and I will not be able to help you." The weight of his words pressed down on me, a stark reminder of what was at stake. I knew the sacrifices that would be demanded of me. Yet, despite it all, a flicker of determination burned in my eyes-a resolve born out of love and loyalty. What I want is to be respected by the clan and my king, but to be so I have to face my battles. My name is Erina and now it's my turn to find a place between this alien planet and the king. -- 🔴 As always, be careful to read the story. Obviously there will be some dirty content, both sexual and dark language, blood, fighting and more. You will be warned anyway.🔴🔞Complete

Alien from the past. Mate for the future.
✨ Book 3 from Extraterrestrial Encounter ✨ -*- They always told me I belonged to the sky. Not because I was special or different, but because ever since I was a child, I would spend hours staring at the stars, searching for answers no adult seemed willing to give me. My name is Selen. I'm nineteen years old, and I work as a research assistant in one of the oldest observatories in the colony. I live among star maps, coordinates, and telescopes. But sometimes, when the world falls asleep and I'm left alone beneath the vault of the sky, I feel... something. An invisible gaze, warm and distant. As if the stars weren't the only ones watching me. I don't remember much from when I was a child. Just fragments: a distant roar, strong hands lifting me from the mud... Blue eyes that didn't belong to any human being. They told me I was in danger, and that someone saved me. But no one ever wanted to tell me who. And yet, tonight... as the sky opens above me and the forest whispers ancient words, I have the strange feeling I'm not alone. Maybe this time it will save me and take me to safety. -*- [ I'm still trying to figure out if this is going to be a long story or just a glimpse into how things have settled down in the near future. Maybe you can help me. If you have any idea leave a comment. ]🤔🤷 🔴 As usual beware! This story will be marked as Adult story. Strong language, fighting, blood, death and of course consensual sex scenes and more. 🔴🔞Complete
