Every decision has a consequence. 

Andrew King is a veteran who post enlistment has dedicated his life to ensuring the mental wellness of others.

When he meets Leon, committed into a psychiatric facility he ends up in a situation he never saw coming.

The book highlights a number of issues in today's society around mental heath stigma and the pressures that surround men in general that isn't just limited to veterans.

Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue by ThetaObelusGamma

The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder). Just around 50K words. -I also wrote up a brief encyclopedia with general world info here (https://www.wattpad.com/story/216689041-a-brief-encyclopedia-of-the-reimagined-world).

Shades of Winter (bxb) by Gazingsongbird

A serial killer and a Hero. Playing a game of cat and mouse while wreaking havoc. Which will outsmart the other? What will be revealed as they get closer and learn more about each other? "Reality is whatever I want." "We'll see." This story uses Marvel's idea of infinity stones, but they're more prevalent. Everyone has at least one. I have an external link at the bottom of most of the chapters that leads to a Google Doc that explains the world. Please let me know if it works. Since Wattpad has an age of consent in their guidelines, I will have the explicit scenes on AO3 and not on here. If scenes like that make you uncomfortable, this will be the version without any of that. If you're curious, I don't use any of the more graphic words, this kind of thing makes me a bit uncomfortable so I wrote it in a way that didn't make me feel weird. Either way, you read whichever version you like. The Wattpad version will allude to some of those scenes however because some are quite important. I'll probably put an announcement or something at the start to let you know.
