The pain comes in waves
And I try to push it away
There doesn't seem to be time
For grief in my day to day
But when I am successful
In hiding from my pain
I find that love and hope
Become difficult to attain
So I will embrace the feelings
The anger, guilt and grief
I will allow for love and hope
To give me some relief
-Tanya Lord

Their story isn't so predictable.

HavenFall - PROJECT R.A.Y.
When the world ended, she ran. When she stopped running, she found him. In the aftermath of a failed experiment that turned cities into wastelands, Ray - the first and only human hybrid to escape the Old Town laboratories - has lived her life on the edge of survival. Haunted by memories she can't escape, she hides from the past that made her and the monsters it left behind. Then she meets Veynir, a man caught between life and death - immune to every virus, half-human, half-zombie, yet more human than anyone she's ever known. Together, they uncover the truth buried beneath the ruins and the reason the world truly fell. As they fight to protect a growing community of survivors, Ray and Veynir's bond deepens - love rising from the ashes of the old world. But in a land where science has no mercy and the dead still whisper through static, peace never lasts for long. Some creations were never meant to die. Some hearts were never meant to stop beating.

Eclipsed Earth
After the catastrophic fallout of a radiation bomb, humanity's remnants retreated underground into a bunker built for 400 people. For years, the survivors clung to hope, dreaming of the day Earth would be livable again. That day finally arrives. Kora Meyer, a fiery 19-year-old who has carried the weight of grief since losing her family during the evacuation, is the respected but guarded leader of the group. Her tough exterior hides a deep passion and love for the people under her care. Alongside her stands Xavier Crane, the sharp-tongued yet golden-hearted second-in-command who can lighten any tense moment with a sarcastic remark but secretly harbors an unshakable loyalty to Kora. As they lead their people back to the surface, they find an Earth transformed-not the barren wasteland they expected, but a wild and untamed paradise. However, it's not uninhabited. Scattered across the land are powerful tribes, each with its own traditions, fiercely protective of their resources, and willing to turn hostile when provoked. With danger lurking at every corner and passion igniting between them, Kora and Xavier must navigate the complexities of rebuilding civilization, forging alliances, and keeping their people safe. But as they learn more about the tribes and uncover secrets of the past, the two leaders find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never anticipated. Their chemistry is electric, their connection undeniable-and in a world where survival is uncertain, their love becomes their strongest weapon. When old betrayals and new dangers threaten to destroy the fragile balance of their newfound world, Kora and Xavier must decide how far they're willing to go to protect their people-and each other.Complete
May the Dead Lie Still
The world ended quietly. No meteor, no war, no warning. Just a pulse of red light-and then silence. In the ruins of Japan, the Hive spread like wildfire, a biomechanical virus that didn't just kill-it rewrote. Minds, bodies, cities. Everything it touched became part of a greater, terrifying whole. Iris Vale was supposed to die. Infected during the outbreak, she was taken by Nyx researchers and altered with a prototype serum. She lived-but she wasn't the same. Now faster, stronger, and still linked to the Hive through whispers in her mind, she walks the line between human and something else. But her purpose is clear: Yori, the man she loved and lost, is still alive-imprisoned inside the Hive's central structure, the Citadel. Once a brilliant tech entrepreneur, Yori has become the blueprint for the Hive's future, its chosen host for global domination. If he is consumed, the world won't just be lost-it will belong. With a fractured team of survivors, including Reina-the unstable Listener haunted by voices of the infected-and the determined Dr. Hoshino, Iris launches a desperate mission into the living nightmare of the Citadel. Facing shapeshifting horrors, psychic traps, and twisted versions of her past, Iris must use every weapon she has-her body, her mind, and her memories-to reach Yori before the Hive completes its final overwrite. But deep within the Hive's mental realm, Iris finds that love is not only memory-it is resistance. And the strongest virus of all may be the one that reminds us who we are.Complete
