For Rowan Khan, three days have passed since he left Earth. For everyone else, it's been almost three decades.

27-year-old journalist Rowan Khan is ecstatic when he's assigned to visit Chronos I-97, the planet home to the newest human settlement outside of the Milky Way. When his ship the STS Ramses flies into a wormhole, however, he and his fellow passengers are lost and assumed dead.

29 years later, STS Ramses crashes onto Chronos I-97's surface, leaving 24-year-old head researcher Dr. Solomon Nystrom and his colleagues perplexed. Even stranger, no one on the ship seems to have aged a day.
 
They discover that a bizarre virus has infected all the ship's passengers, leaving them with nearly vampire-like traits and tendencies. 

As Rowan and Solomon set out to uncover just what conspired aboard the STS Ramses, mystery unfolds, romance blooms, and they acquire knowledge they may have been better off without.

Aura by makuyi13
12 parts Complete
Thirteen-year-old Rowan finds himself in Auradelle, a magical world that appears in his grandfather's drawer shortly after his death. Rowan would do anything to get his grandfather back, which means staying in Auradelle to find the Aura, a gem that holds the energy of the universe together, and has enough power to grant someone anything they wish for. Also after the Aura is Lord Adar, a vicious man who has resurfaced again in order to regain the Aura's power for unknown reasons. Rowan finds himself lost in a maze of Auradellians, who are all born Aardians (boys with the spirit of a forest animal and the ability to run faster than average), Gwydions (boys with the ability to show their emotions via a cloud of color, and can read thoughts), Celestes (girls with the heart, soul, and wings of a butterfly, who can see whatever they want to see), and Genesises (girls with the character and wings of a bird who can control objects with their mind). Lucky for him, Rowan soon meets new friends, all willing to help him search for the Aura as long as they get a share of wishes: Zoe, an Auradellian born hopelessly, ordinarily human, Seraphina, a Genesis with the most useless wings known to Auradelle, and Vivian, a blind Celeste. Together, they fight for their dream, but soon find out that they are keeping more secrets than information shared. Will Rowan find his way home? Or is he lost forever, with no grandfather, no Aura, and no friends to guide him on?

Blamed for a lethal disease she did not cause, a reclusive necromancer sets out to cure the sickness and save a town before any more victims perish. *** Draped in a cloak of blood and deemed a wicked monster, Evylyn is an immortal necromancer, feared enough to silence any mention of her name. As the accused source of a deadly disease, paired with her infamy in necromancy, she avoids the town of Ensceas at all costs. But Evylyn's fate is decided by a coin toss, and she's forced to break free from her chains of destiny, nearly paying with her life. She's rewarded by a bounty hunter tracking her down, hungry to give her the sanguinary death she deserves. In her eleventh hour, a fellow demigoddess gives her two things: a second chance, and a way to weasel her way into the hearts of those that despise her. Simply, she must remedy the incurable disease that she allegedly caused, preferably before the entire town of Ensceas falls victim to its sickness. Thankfully, Evylyn's infamy didn't come from thin air, and if there's anyone that can rival death, it's her. ----- ❈ ----- INCLUDES: ❈ Sapphic demigoddesses ❈ Badass sunshine x soft-hearted grump ❈ Magical, mysterious malady ❈ Cute baby animals FEATURED ON: ❈ @highfantasy Featured High Fantasy Stories, @OpenNovellaContest's Longlist ❈ @Fantasy, @Romance, @highfantasy, @darkfantasy, @mythandlegend, @StoriesUndiscovered 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 02/01/2023 𝙀𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 4/17/2023 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 28k 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙨: High Fantasy, Romance, Adventure 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: @Xaprith © 2023 [First Edition]

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Planatae by doodooferguson
43 parts Complete
In the empty, cold expanse of the Home Galaxy, life needs a cradle, a planet to spark it into existence. Given the right conditions, it can become something incredible - something self aware. And when that happens, the planet that helped it along might just take notice... Planatae are mysterious, sentient planets that are sustained by the collective consciousness of the people who inhabit it. In exchange for the chance to think and feel, these planets bestow upon their inhabitants a Factor - a particular ability that aids adaptation in a specific environment. Ricardia Yigera is on the run; more willing to carve out a life in the darkness of Onyx Station then return to the comfort of home for a terrible crime she's committed. Trapped by her guilty conscious, she's unsure of what to do - and how to make amends. Jasper Drift thought he'd finally found tranquility, hidden away in paradise - until his military past comes back to catch him - and the extremly valuable asset he's been keeping hidden for years. Lukas Adamas is the son of one of space's most prestigious scientists, a woman hell-bent on unlocking the secrets of the Planatae. Ambitious and determined, Lukas wants to follow in her footsteps. But when his mother hears a rumor, one that has the potential to change everything they understand about the Planatae, Lukas is dragged along into a web of conspiracy and responcibility he may not have been fully prepared for. Amidst clashing galactic empires and the enigmatic workings of the Planetae, these three will find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that none of them asked for.
