Baxter's Phantoms is on the verge of collapse. Betrayed by their former archon, Katherine Steiner, the shattered remains of the once proud Lyran mercenary company have been drifting aimlessly through the Inner Sphere. Despite having lost over ninety percent of his former strength, Commander Michael Baxter seeks to return his unit to its former glory. He has defied the odds before, but with his numbers depleted and his finances sinking into never-ending debt, the situation appears hopeless.

However, hope soon appears in the form of a job from Periphery crime lord Boss Vilnius, and he is willing to buy the mercenaries' debt to cover the bill. On paper the contract is simple; deliver a small piece of cargo to a set of coordinates on the extreme fringe of the Inner Sphere. The catch? Baxter knows neither the contents of the cargo nor the identity of the buyer. Worse yet, other more powerful parties are interested in what the Phantoms are carrying, and they seem hell bent on taking it from them at any cost.

I'm Not Leaving You (Keith Kogane x Reader) by _sarahp87021_
15 parts Complete
(Y/N) was just a simple 17 year old girl who had lost her parents when she was young. All she had left was her brother, and after he disappeared, she didn't really know what to do. She eventually got kicked out of the Galaxy Garrison and was all alone. That is, until she met him. She didn't think she'd fall for Keith, and she especially didn't think he'd fall for her. He was her best friend, and her brother's best friend at that. She never thought her life would be filled with such sadness, loneliness, happiness, love, friendship, or aliens. Especially not aliens. And definitely not giant robotic lions. Preview: It's been a year. One year exactly since he disappeared on the Kerberos mission. Takashi was the only family I had left. Mom and dad were gone so it was either he takes care of me or he sticks me in a home somewhere. He chose to take care of me, and I couldn't have asked for a better brother. (Y/N) Your name Hey! This is my first story so sorry if it's a bit cheesy etc, but I just wanted to thank you for even giving it a shot! This is a Voltron Legendary Defender fanfiction where you and Keith get to hit it off. (I'll try to keep it as close to the actual story line of the show as possible, and I'm sorry that the chapters are a bit long. Trust me though, they're worth the read.) Enjoy! I don't own Voltron or any of the characters, pictures, and most of the dialogue. Credit goes to Dreamworks, Voltron Legendary Defender, and the fans who created the amazing fan art. #1 for Paladin (6/18/21) #35 for Takashishirogane (8/20/21) #4 for Blacklion (8/20/21)

Winner The Crystal Awards 2016, Best Multimedia Story (3d Place). A spinster doctor rents her spare room to a brain-damaged patient who doesn't know he is a former undercover agent targeted for execution by a powerful criminal. ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ John Doe remembers nothing of his life before waking up in the hospital. He doesn't know he was a dangerous man, and he somehow has survived assassination by even more dangerous men. He doesn't even know how to speak English, or read, or count. Even after his body heals, he will need long-term supervision and care to re-learn how to live. Dr. Mitchell Oberon has been married to her surgical work for too long. So, she resists being attracted to a brain-damaged patient with the body of Adonis and the mind of a child. Agent Frank Stone, of Homeland Security, forces the doctor to take John Doe into her own home while he recovers. Stone, who knows John Doe's past history well, says it's not safe to send him back to the place he lived before he was "killed" by his enemies. If it ever becomes known that John survives, his foes will make sure he doesn't live long. Mitchell tries to protect her heart while she protects the innocent John from a hostile world. As they live together, the two begin to teach one another how to live. Hopefully, they'll also learn how not to die -- because they'll soon be betrayed into the hands of murderers.

Shattered Symmerty by Geminitea26
13 parts Ongoing
In Symmetria, a city obsessed with looking perfect while everything underneath is falling apart, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. The leaders? They're more focused on keeping their polished image intact than actually running the place. But chaos is brewing, and guess who's making a comeback? Ravi, the power-hungry dictator with a tighter grip on the city than ever. And trust me, things are about to get messy. Enter Sunaina, a sharp, determined force of nature, and her loyal (but definitely not boring) friends Jenna and Marcus. They're caught in the middle of all this chaos, trying to save Symmetria from Ravi's iron fist, while dealing with the fact that trust is about as rare as a flaw in this so-called perfect city. Betrayal? Oh, it's lurking in every corner, and hidden agendas? They're sprouting like weeds in a manicured garden. The trio needs to figure out who's on their side-and fast-because the clock is ticking. In this city, loyalty is more fickle than the weather, and ambition? Well, that'll lead you straight into disaster if you're not careful. With the cracks in Symmetria's perfect facade getting deeper by the day, the leaders will have to face not just Ravi but also the enemies within their own ranks. As everything unravels, one question remains: How far are they willing to go to protect their "perfect" city? And who can they actually trust when every choice could pull them deeper into chaos-or worse? Buckle up for a wild ride. Power, ambition, and loyalty are about to collide in ways no one saw coming. Because in Symmetria, nothing's as perfect as it seems, and every move could be their last.
