Once upon a time, an advanced civilization resided in the Polaris system. Its people were immortal and capable of crossing dimensions. But pride goes before a fall; they revolted against their divine creator and were massacred. The sole survivor, known to the humans as the Wayfarer, was banished from its homeworld. To be forgiven and allowed to return, it must drift through the universe and commit twelve acts of penitence.

This story chronicles the Wayfarer's road to penitence, as well as its intertwining with the rise and fall of human empires.

Verdant Ink (wlw)║AMBYS WINNER 2024 by pixelmum

**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** The Alliance's top galactic terraformer, Pelin Demir, uses state-of-the-art biotech to transform barren rocky planets into lush habitable ecosystems. Seeking escape from a dying Earth and a tragic past, Pelin has devoted a decade to serving the Alliance in the seemingly endless galactic turf war between post-Earth humans and powerful warrior lifeforms, the Karinja. Pelin's life of quiet order is thrown into chaos when her Alliance leaders inexplicably force her to train Midori, a surly rookie navigator. When a terraforming mission spirals into a catastrophic Karinja ambush, Pelin discovers the dazzling secret that Midori, and the generals of the Alliance, are desperate to keep hidden. Forced to navigate deep space, draconian Alliance protocols, and her own turbulent past, Pelin charts a galactic course to protect Midori at all costs from the Karinja assassins hunting her, and from the sinister Alliance generals aiming to use her as a weapon of war. Yet Pelin can't seem to protect herself from her growing feelings towards her abrasive protégé. As the conflict for galactic control reaches a climax, Pelin struggles to keep Midori, and her own heart, safe. 🥇AMBYS 2024 WINNER - SCIENCE FICTION 🥇First Place, Katana Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Lovely Valentine Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Gloria Regali Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Jamboard Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Hearts Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥈 Second Place, Aster Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Star Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Misfit Awards 2022, Science Fiction Cover designed by @laylagriffin_

A Mouse & The Fallen Star by CBMokedi

How long is a lifetime? For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning---a punishment etched into eternity for a rebellion that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to. A creature of light and power, he now walks the earth in flesh as a wealthy, enigmatic man. His vast empire---built on both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings---spans civilizations, but none of it brings him peace. One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her. ... Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon, she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long-buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever. Yet salvation doesn't come easily. Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more. Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone? *This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

A Fallen HomeKin by ToWolfKin

|| 2024 AMBY FANTASY FAVOURITE | ×5 FEATURED || When the ever-skittish, homesick, twelve-year old Fralith accidentally-on-purpose stops a kidnapping, no one knows what to think--especially Fralith. Newly stranded on a planet not his own through a misdirected HomeKin portal, where MetalEaters roar and people stand around staring at rectangles, Fralith struggles to puzzle out rules of the world before he gets eaten. But not all things in this new world are out to get him, and some are even trying to save him. When a flame--haired man begins to teach him the ways of the new world, Fralith starts to realize that there might be hope, healing, and home on this planet. A Fallen HomeKin is a heart-warming, hunger-inducing, adorable story about grief, home, and encountering an entirely alien world. ❗NOW A PUBLISHED BOOK❗ | | 2024 Ambys Fantasy Top Pick 20/1/2025 | | Featured on Fantasy, Middle Grade and Children's Fantasy 8/4/2023 | | Featured on StoriesUndiscovered, Tales of Adventure 5/2/2023 | | Featured on Fantasy, Magical Realism 24/6/2024 | | Featured on Fantasy, Fantasy Spotlight 25/3/2025 | | Featured on Wattpad Ambassadors, Speculative Fiction 30/5/2025 | #1 in the Maddy's awards | #1 in Fantasy in Gloria Regali | #2 in contemporary/teen in Lunar Paragons | And many more! ***This draft is exclusively published on W A T T P A D.

Ensemble [Book 1: SEKTOR V Trilogy] by SEKTORV

Meet Stanley Dial, an average shmoe, who also happens to be the world's best and most unlikely time traveler in the year 2044. Saddled deep in debt, and sweating the details of an all-or-nothing bet that could seal his family's fate, Stanley finds himself caught up in an epic battle between two secretive organizations striving to control Earth's future. On one side, the government-run Ministry aggressively employs its "Big Brother" Sweeper program to routinely scan the near future for society-altering anomalies. Armed with this information, agents return to the present and covertly neutralize any undesirable outcomes that would adversely disrupt the status quo. Meanwhile, the much smaller and resource-challenged Underground use their own time travel technology and advanced scientific simulators to thwart Ministry efforts to manipulate the natural order of societal free will. Amid the chaos, Stanley becomes a pawn in their deadly game of cat and mouse. Will his hidden skill be enough to save Mankind from a decidedly dark and desperate future?
