Andy Voitenko notices things that others don't. Nothing paranormal, he just sees the laws of physics in action. He's always been socially awkward. And that makes him a target for a group of scientists who want the smart ones. He never expected wings, never expected scales, and never expected aliens that want to kill him and everyone he knows.
Terry Alfred Lawrence is just a normal navy officer, until he's presented with an offer he can't refuse - a place in a bunker deep underneath the Canadian Shield to survive a coming invasion. He's chosen half because he knows how to lead, and half because he knows how to learn. He never expected dissent, never expected oligarchy, and never expected the difficulties of keeping a human settlement in a hostile environment running.
When their paths cross, and when the alien threat comes for another shot at Earth, they will shape the future in ways nobody could have expected.

But you are still a remarkably strong-willed woman Shepard. What you learned about the Protheans is amazing." "Nightmarish visions of synthetics slaughtering all organic life isn't exactly what I'd call amazing." She scoffed. "And neither are the headaches." "Oh, by the goddess! I'm so sorry!" Liara exclaimed. "I didn't mean to make light of what happened to you. It's why I'm an archaeologist, I always manage to say the wrong things to people. I prefer working with ruins and artifacts." 》》 *Rated Mature for language & some adult content. ---------------------------- **Canon/canon-divergent.

The Dragon Prince's Consort by RMHash

✨️✨️COMPLETED AUGUST 29 2024✨️✨️ Desperate people will do desperate things to survive. Wealth, privilege, and power don't always lead to happiness. Money can't buy everything, but freedom has a heavy price tag. Family dynamics can be a royal pain. Love can be a choice. Fang knows trouble. Alien moneylenders, late rent, unpaid debts and generational poverty have all driven her to make a lot of really bad choices - including taking a last-minute job entertaining a wealthy Drass in hopes that she'll make enough cash to escape freezing Anun and start over. Again. Her client is an odd one, but at least he's sweet, gentle and surprisingly cute for a species that looks like a cross between a demon and a dragon, horns and all. After a night of delicious wine, soft kisses and blistering passion Fang drifts off to dreams of warm clothes, regular meals and a place she can call home. Valen has it all: money, power, a name that guarantees him a life of ease and unimaginable luxury - but he leads a lonely, purposeless life in his father's house and his only friends are paid to look after him. So when a human woman appears in his bedroom, nude and claiming to be his birthday present, he can't help but wonder if he's finally gone mad. But she is real, she is lovely, and she is his for the night. For now Valen can forget who he is, and as he falls asleep with her in his arms he dreams of her becoming a more frequent visitor. Dawn reveals a horrifying truth, and two strangers are forced to put their trust in each other amid a web of secrets, lies, politics and familial strife. Putting on their best faces in public Fang and Valen must convince their respective people that they can work together for the greater good, and in private their relationship begins to develop from one of convenience into something far more complicated.

MINDSLIP by TonyHarmsworth

MINDSLIP is the catastrophe which hits the Earth at 8.15am GMT next Wednesday morning. It began six hundred and fifty years earlier when Betelgeuse fulfilled its long-held prophecy to turn supernova. The radiation, gamma rays and gravitational waves hit the Earth at the same time as a coronal mass ejection. The combined bombardment causes all creatures on the Earth to swap minds, leaving people in animals, animals in people, men in women and children in adults. The nightmare which follows becomes a social and economic catastrophe. Geoffrey Arnold becomes a key figure in the government catastrophe committee, formed to resolve the myriad issues raised by MINDSLIP. Power generation, the health service, farming, pay, pensions, education, the banking system and asset ownership spiral into chaos. In addition, Geoffrey must save his wife from an imminent premature death brought on by one of the MINDSLIP effects. MINDSLIP is a realistic, frightening and sometimes amusing work of imagination which explores how people and families react to the world being changed beyond recognition. Note: MINDSLIP had been acquired by a publisher who, regrettably, has now folded. Rather than put the original version up on Wattpad, I have decided to give it a considerable edit. I'd love to know what you think. The early chapters might disturb, but hopefully they will also make you think about how you would deal with Geoff, Andrea, Angus, Caroline or Allan's situations. Use the comments to tell me what you would have done? (C) 2017 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.

Wings of Evolution (WoF AU) by Repeat932

[Wings of fire - Evolution AU] What if Darkstalker listened to Fathom? The dragonets of destiny never had a destiny. They were hatched just like every other dragon, on the rim of war, ready to fight for their tribes and die for their world. Except, they aren't the exact same dragonets that you know, having never lived under the mountain, never growing up together. Though they may still be the dragonets that you remember. -Daily updates- From chapter 2: Uhar woke, blinking in confusion at the light. He'd never seen anything this bright in his life. Looking out over the cliff, he saw the source, like a blinding flame that was thousands of times more powerful than any spark. It was round and it rested in the sky far above him, illuminating the ground below. It was strange in more ways than that. Since it seemed as if the sky itself was broken. The whiteness that had completely covered it before had moved. Revealing a bright endless blue behind. There were still patches of that whiteness far above, but they seemed fluffy now, no longer a blanket of dread covering the world. They were all different shapes and sizes, but they had none of the previously uniform aesthetic. The sky was turning bright colors as he watched, reds and oranges, reflecting off those white things into pinks and purples as well, it was the most wonderful thing that Uhar had ever seen, colors he'd never even imagined were in that sky. He watched the world in awe, feeling his ears rise with excitement. If this was the world his ancestors had left behind, he couldn't imagine why they'd ever wanted to leave.

The Terminus-Under the sea by hansisherly29

It was 2050, the year of the misery.The world War 3 happened, a nuclear war which ended up making the earth inhabited. But luckily there were survivors. There was an organization called 'Octagon Veranda' situated on a lonely Island which was covered by a special Nano cover which was supposed to last 300 years and it's a shield against radiation, bioweapons and chemical attacks. This organization of scientists was created to survive the World War, which could've wiped out humans from Earth. The communication system within the island was advanced and had no connection with outside to prevent AI attacks. It was protected in each possible way which is why humanity still lasts. It is 2201 now. Our little island is the only place humanity can survive on the earth but sadly it's a small island. The population is rising. So now we have a lot more problems to survive than radiation. There are two parts of the island. Inside and outside. Simply heaven and hell on the same island. If you can get inside you are more than lucky. If you get to live outside, you better pray for death. Inside the island is the place where the Octagon Veranda, the main buildings and the city are situated. Octagon Veranda, we work on eight sectors that help humanity to survive. Each sector has a chancellor, and together that's the Octagon council. Edward Sallow - Nano technology sector Kane Johnson - Chemical sector Kirstein Evens - Mechanicals and communication sector. Jessy Terco - Environmental science, Biology and human studies sector Elsa Blake -Medical sector. Bell Bostic - Security, exploration and social work sector Penny Browns - Hydrology and Farming Sector Jupiter Terco -Astro sector

Earth Warriors (Undergoing Revision) by LuisPetrizzoRengel

In the year 2026, an alien race called the Zlocu led under the command of the bloodthirsty Emperor, Malgan Tomentradi, are waging war across the stars, believing that the era of peace was slowing down the next step of universal evolution. Now, they are determined to "awaken" everyone to let them know how peace made them weak. Recovering from a devastating global conflict, planet Earth took one of the worst hits from the Zlocu's onslaught. Despite the efforts of various governments, the Zlocu occupied 80% of Earth. Everything seemed hopeless until a group of celestial beings called "The Guardians" started to intervene in the conflict, spurred on by the discovery of the four physical incarnations that represent the principles of the Universe itself. All of them found on planet Earth, three Humans and an Alien. Now, these four heroes and other factions must work together to defeat the Zlocu Empire and Malgan's reign of tyranny. But more than war, they also must discover the meaning of being a hero and a warrior in the modern world, one in which Humanity may have lost its way. A tribute to the favorite anime and Science Fiction works of the 80s to the early 21st century, this is one tale to witness. ~Honors~ 1ST Place in Sci-fi category in the Purple Stars Awards 7TH Place in Sci-fi category in the Royalty Awards Cover by: Shrutiluvbooks #grandcafecommunity

Star trek Echoes of Command by DreadMaximus

In the unforgiving void of space, every decision carries weight, and every command leaves an echo. For Caden Jarron, a rising officer in Starfleet, war isn't just a clash of ships and phaser fire-it's a game of intellect, culture, and strategy. From the blood-soaked battlefields of the Cardassian Wars to the tense brinkmanship of the Tzenkethi conflict, Caden forges a reputation as a tactical prodigy, a master of war who can outthink any enemy. But as he ascends through the ranks, Caden begins to grapple with a truth few in Starfleet dare to acknowledge: victory comes at a price, and not all sacrifices are made on the battlefield. His growing detachment and cold brilliance win him admirers and enemies alike, and with each conflict, he moves further from the idealistic young cadet he once was. When the Dominion War erupts, threatening to tear the Federation apart, Caden is thrust into the heart of the struggle-commanding fleets, outwitting enemies, and making impossible decisions that could save billions... or doom them. Yet even as he leads Starfleet to triumphs no one thought possible, the echoes of his command reverberate, reshaping not only the course of the war but his very soul. Can Caden maintain his humanity in a world that demands ruthless logic? Or will he become the very thing he swore to protect the Federation from-a calculating force of power, willing to sacrifice anything for victory? Echoes of Command is a gripping tale of leadership, sacrifice, and the dark side of tactical genius, set against the backdrop of some of the Federation's most pivotal conflicts. As Caden Jarron rises, so too do the stakes, and the line between hero and tyrant begins to blur. In war, every command echoes through time-and in space, those echoes can reach farther than anyone dares imagine.

For All of Dragonkind: Wings of Ash by CaptainMemes

Justice will come, like all worlds before and after, and Dragonkind will die... ...And all things will end... ...The War of SandWing Succession... ...Darkstalker... ...The Othermind... ...All of it... ...And the entirety of Pyrrhia, Pantala, and all continents beyond shall be mine, like all other universes in the great infinite... -The Traveler, 5011 AS (Characters, worlds, plotlines, and others relating to "Wings of Fire" belong to Tui. T. Sutherland) (This story contains very dark and mature themes, including very foul language, gore, body horror, death, warfare, genocide, nihilism, and references to sex.) (As I'm not a vivid scholar of this world, this story will not be fully canon compliant, so if there is a detail I'm slightly inaccurate in, no flames)
