Fulfilled or Forgotten by DivineAGolden

In a near-future society, every person wears a Cast - a sleek device that displays their inner fulfillment for all to see. Fulfillment is everything. It's currency. It's status. It's safety. The more fulfilled you are, the longer you live, the more respected you become. And if your Cast falls too low for too long? You're taken to The Verge, a place no one talks about... and few return from. Kai Renner has it all. Fame, wealth, admiration. He's the face of success - glowing with fake fulfillment thanks to an illegal implant. But during a massive celebration in his honor, the system malfunctions... and reveals the truth. He's exposed, labeled as "critically unfulfilled," and chosen for transport. But Kai isn't alone. At The Verge, he finds a hidden world - a community of the "unfulfilled" who've all been cast out by the same rigged system. As Kai navigates this strange, stripped-down environment, each chapter uncovers a lie society sold as truth - and teaches a lesson on real fulfillment. Not the kind that glows. The kind that heals. This is not a story of rising back to the top. This is a story of breaking free from the idea that worth comes from winning. Through love, pain, confrontation, erotic healing, and spiritual truth - Kai and the others begin to uncover something deeper than success: peace. But the system doesn't like peace. It wants obedience. And the final chapters will force Kai to choose: Expose the system for what it is, or lose everything - again.

Smokes and Circuits (Veils of Kaizhun #1) by copperchain417

In the neon-lit sprawl of Kaizhun, a city pulsing with the chaos of technology and treachery, alliances are forged and broken in the shadows. Zac, a principled leader with a fierce commitment to justice, finds himself entangled in a dangerous web of corruption when he reluctantly joins forces with Kai, the enigmatic head of the vigilante group Kirxia. With a dark past shrouded in mystery and an unyielding sense of loyalty to his team, Kai challenges everything Zac thought he knew about morality in a city ruled by capitalism's malevolent grip. As they confront the ruthless Serpent faction, a powerful syndicate that holds Kaizhun's citizens in a stranglehold, their differing views on justice and sacrifice come to a head. Alongside their teams-a group of fierce women and a band of misfits-their mission spirals into a high-stakes battle for survival, revealing hidden secrets that could shatter the foundations of their city. As tensions rise, so too do the unspoken feelings between Zac and Kai, a complex relationship that dances on the line between camaraderie and something deeper. In the aftermath of destruction and chaos, they must navigate their own emotions while leading a rebellion against the darkness threatening to consume them. Veils of Kaizhun explores themes of humanity, the blurred lines of good and evil, and the price of loyalty in a world where every choice can lead to liberation or despair. As the final confrontation looms, Zac and Kai must confront their pasts, their values, and the undeniable bond forming between them-all while fighting for the future of a city on the brink of collapse.

Cheyenne wakes to find herself aboard the Corelean, a Consortium Medical Evacuation ship.

Oriehn by AaPThomps

He kneaded his lips together. "You are not a warden," He croaked. At hearing his voice, raspy from underuse, I stilled but nevertheless nodded. He visibly gulped, as if the air was choking him, "But you are not human either." ********** Alice Proctor's world is dictated by two vital aspects- survival and revenge. A linguist for Earth's insurgence, and the one of the last survivors of an invading imperialist force, she has dedicated her life to ridding earth of a far superior race known as the Oriehns. When she is taken by a rogue test subject with ulterior motives in mind, Alice aids the rebel force the only way she can- accepting the alleged foreign ancestry forced upon her to gather crucial intel while aboard the Oriehn Lunar Station. But just as Alice thinks she knows what she wants, a month living amongst the welcoming culture of the Oriehns and an impending siege on the mothership has a way of twisting her opinions. ********** ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved.

Broken Boundaries by SciFurz

A while ago the question of what if an alien is so cute, a straight guy can't help but still fall in love depite the alien being male, came to me. And of course, the idea for a new story was born soon thereafter. This is the result, my latest novel set in the science fiction Aoyu Universe as of this writing, and the first (and at this time only) gay/bisexual romance themed story that I've written. --- During the Earth-Silth conflicts, two commanders of opposing warships played a game of chicken at one of the outer known solar systems, the result being a head-on collision and two ships fused together at the bows. After the cease fire agreement plans were made to salvage what they could from the ships and Alain from Earth was sent as part of a two man crew to recover components from the Earth vessel while a team from the Silth would handle theirs. Things turned out much different from the moment he launched from Earth. --- For more on the Aoyu Universe, see the first two stories I wrote in it in my submissions; Abandoned with the Enemy, and Meeting the New Enemy. For the ones who can't wait until it's completely posted here, the ebook can be found on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/13697544 and on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B07YMJJZPY
