Theo Altair has a death wish.
 
He has tried everything he can think of to cut his life short but he can never seem to get it right, and somehow he always manages to survive. His latest attempt nearly destroys his ship, which houses a sentient A.I. named Shade who is not particularly thrilled with Theo's antics, and the duo is forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby farming moon to make repairs.
 
There Theo meets Dimitri, a farmer-cum-engineer with a penchant to sing away his worries. The two form an unlikely friendship and when Theo tries to run away from his feelings, Dimitri isn't quick to let him go so easily. He takes it upon himself to join Theo on his flight to the next star system - with some help from Shade - and Theo is forced to face his feelings head on. 
 
But there are some things lurking in space that are more frightening than letting yourself be cared for.

...We were so caught up in the shared moment of care free joy to notice the midnight grey Toyota pickup truck speeding directly towards us. Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late. There was nothing we could do as we collided head on..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attempt two at writing a book lmao, summaries without spoilers are not my strong point but here you go: After a tragic child hood accident Astra is left utterly alone, forcing her to make a massive move across the states to live in Tennessee with her grandmother. A few years pass and Astra finds it difficult to deal with the trauma she experienced as a young child, but surrounded by friends and throwing herself into education she starts to heal, until she meets Jason. In the beginning Jason was a kind, caring guy who seemed genuinely interested in getting to know Astra, but not everyone is who they seem to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TW LIST!!!!

When Sophomores Collide (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp. "Ah, t-thank you." I stuttered before walking away and out of the school, but before I did, I heard a deep chuckle behind me that I guessed was from Hunter. *** Theodore Willshire, attractive, sassy, incredibly talented and extremely intelligent. His goal is to find love. But because of his sexual preference, it's not always easy. But he has his eye on one boy. Hunter Fierro. I guess you could say he is... the cliche heartthrob of the school. He's known as the kindest, accepting and can literally make anyone fall in love with him if he wants. How will the two of them meet? Easy! They just have to recall their past... Right? As they blindly step foot into Sophomore Year. Theo will make unexpected friends, allies and enemies, maybe even meet the love of his life! What if one day, a mysterious being approaches him with an offer that seems normal at first but can change Theo's life?

Ezra's First by al3x4ntr4

Ezra thought his grades would get him posted to a place in the Navy that reflected his ability, something like First Fleet, the Raiding Nine, or even Home Guard. Humanity's enemy the Preshk where attacking more often and Ezra wanted to be contributing directly to the war effort. Instead he got put on a Scout ship with just one other soul and sent on a five month mission out into deep space. The mission quickly becomes more than the young commander could have ever expected and the fate of humanity lies in how fast he can return back to humanity. This short story is just over 18,000 words and contains sexual content between two men, so If that's not your cup of tea.. don't read :) This is my first attempt at something like this, so feedback is welcome, though be nice :)

This Damned Vibrant World by emery_parks

When a dangerous stranger comes to Eden Colony, Caly will have to fight to find the truth, save everyone that loves her, and finally kiss her best friend-just as soon as she gets her shit together. This Damned Vibrant World is a sexy sci-fi thriller set on a remote world in the depths of space with a gripping plot and a friends-to-lovers romance. Caly (cis female), of Eden Colony, is a hot mess. She's sampled every available partner on the planet except her childhood friend Bear (trans male) who it's common knowledge she ought to settle down with. Her love life, and her work as a zoologist (all a math degree on Earth plus four years traveling in a transit pod will get you on Eden) is interrupted when a series of fires strike the colony and its farms. Those farms, where the beans are grown at the expense of their farmers' health, put Eden on the map. Fire is the last thing the struggling colony needs as they prepare to meet next years quota, but it's amazing what will still burn even when it's raining. - Content warning: depiction of strong sexual content (consensual), drug use, and violence, and discussion of early pregancy loss, suicide, self-harm, and physical abuse.

Rescued and Ruined by VTBonds

I thought being kidnapped by heartless scientists was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong. Being rescued by a massive teal alien alpha covered in spikes was worse. So much worse. The scientists only wanted to experiment on me. He wants to ruin me. **This story is knot for the faint of heart.

Save Me (Best of Me Book 2) by ClueMeIn1996

Theodora and Quinn are newly engaged and beyond in love. Though their story started as a fake relationship, it quickly blossomed into something entirely new to the both of them. Quinn is swept up in the idea of having a family to call her own, too afraid to push the boundaries for fear of losing it all. Theo is pulled into the allure and exhaustion of planning their wedding with her mom at the helm of the ever growing and ever more expensive ship that she's not even sure qualifies as anything either her or Quinn want. But an accident causes their lives to be put on hold. Quinn is in a coma, leaving Theo to battle old demons on her own. When everyone comes back together...what will be of their relationships? Will Theo be able to look at Quinn without guilt? Will Quinn still be the same sunny and sarcastic woman from before the accident? And can the Manos family help piece it all back together?

Parallels by InkFoxPrints

Whether or not Theodore Aspen (Theo, to his few friends) wanted to get dragged into the conflict between his old home, Terra, and his new one, Earth, that doesn't matter. He thought that by becoming an exchange student to Earth with his lupine best friend, Alaina, he would be able to leave his past as an orphan behind and find a new family. The second part happened. The first didn't, and now he's going to find himself on the front lines of the war that he wanted to flee, and it's all due to a few mistakes that he made (mostly, not realizing that his principal on Earth wasn't quite human; no, Mister Marlboro likes Camels, hates Terrans, and oh, wants them all dead. He's going to try all he can to make sure that that happens, and it's Theo and co's job to make sure that it doesn't.) They'll have to stay alive first, but so far so good, thankfully. Then again, though, you never know. After all, as the saying goes, luck is never on a fox's side... Rating: PG-13 for coarse language and crude humor. Thanks for 1K reads!

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

The Heartless Void by empiresofwater

In the distant future, Earth's resources have been plundered and deep-space oil haulers have become the backbone of the solar system's many stations. Henry Starbuck is the first mate onboard such a vessel, the Pequod. He only wants to finish the season and return home to his husband and son. But the captain of the Pequod, Ahab, is a man obsessed with hunting down the vessel which took so much from him. There are legends of his quarry, Moby-Dick: talk from spacefaring astronauts that the ship, shaped like the extinct whales of old, is no longer crewed and is run entirely off a rogue AI programme. Many lives have been lost to it. Starbuck has to confront the terror of space and the awful mania of his captain, all the while dealing with a past which will never leave him alone. He wishes desperately to do what is right. The farthest galaxies are heartless, but no more cruel than the horror that exists inside man. [a sci fi adaptation novella of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick - but no previous knowledge of the book is required] [Updates every Friday from 20/09]
