"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Life Can Crumble To Pieces In Less Than A Second by Thischickisbomb

Mya and Trey have been bestfriends ever since they were little, but as life goes on we all grow up. Friends fight, relationships build and couples argue, but Mya's boyfriend takes arguing to to next level. He threatens her friendship and her life. She is on the verge of losing everything and her world comes crumbling down on her in less than a second.

Two worlds collide in one epic tale. For almost 18 years, Artemisia lives and survives alone in a dead world. When she however one day encounters a strange creature in an abandoned laboratory - her life changes. She stumbles into a magnificent new world with a dangerous mission. Artemisia is forced to question her own morals and her journey takes her further than perhaps any human has ever dared before. Suddenly her endless pursuit for human companionship is overcome with the desire to protect those she meets on her adventure and she is involuntarily drawn to one she thought once to be the enemy... Can there always be hope for a better future, when so much darkness already dims its golden horizon?

Her greatest test is yet to come... In their final year of high school, all children must take The Test. They cannot prepare for it, do not know what it involves. They don't even know it is a test. None of the previous years have ever come back to talk about it. Each child, boy or girl, is ushered into a white room with no other furniture than a white chair and white table. They are asked questions meant to test their intelligence by a recorded machine but given no time limit. The ones that pass are elevated into higher levels of education; the ones who don't are thrown out on the streets and left to die. This is the story of one girl who failed The Test. Her time on the streets is not an easy one-her parents disowned her the moment they found out, and she has been on the run from the secret police almost from the minute she got there, but she doesn't know why. She doesn't know that in reality, she did not fail the test. She aced it.

System Alert: Lord, OOC Warning! by AnnikaKauffman

She thought it is a game, until she died once.... For Sofia, who is tired of reality life, the city-builder game Savage Age was meant to be a simple escape. In this digital world, she is a powerful chieftain, leading her tribe of savages to build a new civilization. But when the game's "NPCs" start to bleed and cry, when they rise up in bloody rebellion and tear down the false safety of civilization, Sofia realizes in terror that this is not a game at all. It's a real, brutal, and terrifying new world. In this world, hunger is the ultimate enemy and morality is a luxury she can no longer afford. After witnessing a neighboring tribe's gruesome revolt and suffering a catastrophic defeat in her own self-styled "Hunger Games," Sofia's mind shatters. She is no longer a player, but a prisoner caught between two realities. She switches between worlds, witnessing blood and death again and again. Can Sofia survive this desperate fight for existence? How will she face the lives she once treated as nothing more than game data? And when the game is no longer a game, what becomes of her? Welcome to the Savage Age. In this place, every decision is a matter of life and death.

Valerie and Jeordie have been best friends since pretty much ever. Then the Disease came. How can two teenagers survive the zombie apocalypse?

The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist] by sophvergeletti

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting.
