In a distant but alternate future, between the late 2030s and early 2040s, 2039 to be precise, where the people of Earth live in comfort due to advancements in A.I., twins Isabelle and Ember Sims are prodigious musicians born with vitiligo and poliosis who dream of becoming music stars. The beginning of the story follows the adventures and misadventures of the twins as they navigate through their high school years while living with their paternal uncle, who's a freelance indie producer, and doing what they can to pursue music. After a fateful encounter with old and new friends, the twins and their comrades decide to form a band together and name themselves The Vagabonds. Up against the A.I. singers that dominate the music world, The Vagabonds believe that together, they can convey their feelings through their songs. Will hard work and luck be enough for the twins and their band to create the biggest miracles that Earth has ever seen?

***BTW: In my plot, when I say "alternate future", I mean most of the shows, bands, or films people today are familiar with don't exist in this story, and singles that are done by real-life artists such as Miley Cyrus or Olivio Rodrigo, for example, weren't composed/sung by them in this story timeline. One of which is Jem and the Holograms. I say this, because I'm using some of their songs in ym story for the musicians I create. But there'll be songs that're done in covers by the artists in my story. You'll know when the song they perform is a cover by reading the text.

(Sequel to Talking To The Moon) ♡♡♡ 12-4-19 #1 - Absence #34 - Leaving #168 - Italy #934 - Sequel #416 - Rogue #551 - Age gap ♡♡♡ Luciano lives in exile with his father, Lucifer, and what remains of their small band of rogues; his father is a horrid, cruel man who takes delight in inflicting pain on others, even his own son. Perhaps that is how Luciano's mother is dead, and why the group has been exiled to the hills of Italy... Abellia "Bella" Renee Ercolani is the youngest child and only girl born to Luna and Alessio Ercolani of the Laughing Wolf Pack; she lives a full, happy life and is content to chase her three older brothers around their Pack territory; and those same hills is exactly where she meets Luc, or rather where he finds her. An instant friendship kindles between the two, even as he takes her back to her family- and he isn't happy about having to leave her, either... The friendship sticks, however, even as they both grow up. ~000~ Luc is moody, lashes out, and wants nothing more than to sleep with the whole female population of Italy; why? Because he's turning 18! He's about to get his Wolf and begin the hunt for his Mate, even as he sneaks into his best friend's room to sing their lullaby. Knowing that getting his Wolf is inevitable, though desperate not to hurt Bella, he steals away the night he turns 18, leaving Bella devastated for the next 10 years. Bella has managed to move on with her life after Luc left her 10 years ago, but the only reason that she was indeed able to move on is because she knows that one day, she too will turn 18, get her Wolf, and find her own Mate. Before long, it is indeed Bella's birthday, and her one wish is that Luc would return home to her. If only she knew how close he really was... Can the two move on from a past of pain, regret, and absence from one another? They most certainly can, especially when their Fates are as twined together as they are.

15 parts Complete
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

Saving Scarlett- 18+ (PREVIEW) by luluwaters27
4 parts Complete Mature
18+Explicit sexual scenes. Very graphic scenes of murder, rape, and drug use. Read at your own discretion. Scarlett Daniels grew up in the system after her parents died from a drug overdose when she was ten years old. Once she turned 18 years old, she ran from the state as fast as she could and started living her own life. Except it wasn't a grand life as she had once dreamed of. Her life now consisted of dancing on poles, answering to a man who tried to own her and living with a best friend who ends up murdered in their apartment. Duke Harvey had a decent childhood; his parents were loaded and he had everything he ever wanted. Until he attended college and the only woman he thought he could trust stabbed him in the back and showed up after several weeks of silence, in a body bag. His entire picture on life changed then and he put his rich-boy shoes away and became a homicide detective. He wanted bad men like the one that hurt his only love to pay for their sins. When Scarlett and Duke meet for the first time, sparks fly and clothes come off. And one chance meeting turns into another until her friend ends up murdered and Duke becomes the lead detective. Now Duke must protect Scarlett from the bad guy while protecting her from himself at the same time. But an insatiable lust blossom's between the two that neither expected to happen. Not only does Duke want to save Scarlett from a wicked and toxic life, but he secretly wants to save himself in the process. Love wasn't a word he used in his vocabulary but something about this woman makes him second guess everything he's believed about love until this point. But one question sticks out in his mind over everything else: is he even capable of love?

WARNING: Smoking, violence, and killing are included in this story. Not intended for a young audience. It's 2075, and currently 11 billion people walk the surface of this planet. Out of that number, my hometown Chantless takes up 64,730. Out of that, one of them is me. A few years ago, the government finally realized they needed to do something about our population. So they decided to make a game out of it. They call it "Do You Have Talent?" They say it's a game show that puts people's abilities and talents to the test. To see if they are worth keeping alive. So far, I've lost my father, my friend, and my brother to this little "game". And I may be next. But I won't let that happen. For I have a trick up my sleeve in my own game. ----------- Jasmine is a 16-almost-17 year old girl living in Chantless, a poor town located close to the ocean.

Unexpectedly, she is chosen to participate in "Do You Have Talent?"; a wicked and ruthless game show created by the government to handle overpopulation. She meets Liz and Bryan, two other contestants who have also lost family members from this heartless monstrosity. Jasmine befriends them, and finally she has something to lose in her life.

Our story begins on a autumn morning in Megadale, where the absence of DudePow, the city's famed hero, has left a noticeable void. With crime on the rise, the city is in need of a savior.

Intrigued by this revelation, Gal tries on Angus's ring, hoping to uncover its powers. To her surprise, she finds herself engulfed in a blue aura, inheriting the abilities of DudePow. Now "cursed" with unexpected strength, Gal must navigate her newfound powers while living in a world dominated by men, determined to carry on her great uncle's legacy and bring justice to Megadale. hi! little explanation here: this is an adaptation of one of my favorite fever dream memory: Shezow! i wrote the story but with a new perspective, Gal's point of view. i always thought about her as i watched the original show: what does she likes? how is she? what are her weaknesses? is she confident? (absolutely not!) and i seriously had a reflexion and a whole analysis over a character that doesn't even have two episode in the original show!!!! IM THAT OBSESSED! So be ready to enter the world of a 14 yo girl dealing with all the problems of her kind. Enjoy :) My story was inspired by the original show (Duh!), but but also inspired by other writers: EugeneMinev on Deviantart and HalfandHalfStoriesAndStuff on ao3 :) I helped myself with the universe of KickAss and ScottPilgrim because I always thought Shezow would suit these universes. Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so excuse me if i make mistakes ^^'
