V5S1- Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction- Agents & Aliens Verse by Mistymay6886

Magnus Bane is basically seen as the FBI's resident joke. Most other agents see him as nothing more than a conspiracy nut, jumping from one crazy theory to the next. No one really takes him seriously, but as his father is the retired FBI director he's not going anywhere and they know it. He won't leave and he won't temper his ridiculous theories. In an effort to maintain the sanity of the other agents Magnus's office is in the basement and he's tasked with working the more peculiar cases brought to the agency... Sightings of unknown creatures, unexplained occurrences, and the occasional reports of UFO's and alien abductions... Basically all the cases no sane agent would regard with anything more than a slight chuckle and a tip to ease up on the alcohol... After his partner quits- the sixth in three months- the FBI assigns Alec Lightwood to partner with him in hopes the intelligent, practical minded ME turned field agent will be able to tamper the crazy out of this world-ness that is Magnus Bane... Only thing? Lightwood is more than he appears and his motivation to restrain the crazy conspiracy theories may be far more personal than even someone as imaginative as Magnus Bane can fathom...

Circadian Cycles of Life and Death or the Dancing Zombie by Esteban_Fernandez

This is a philosophical work of deep ponderings and slippery misgivings, a profound meditation on life and death, or as profound as one could possibly get when you meet a zombie that moves like Mick Jagger. Anyways, we are but circadian cycles of life and death: living, then dying, then living again... or maybe not, but it sounds tantalizing. But that's not the point, the point is to tell the tale of the most valiant zombie that ever lived, the stuff of legends, the unsung hero, the dancing zombie.

The End of the Universe (Doctor Who fanific) by thepoptartlord

The Doctor stops off at the end of the universe, but is more than a little surprised to find that he isn't the only Doctor with this idea, and that he and all his other selves are soon trapped there by an unknown entity. (This story does have a plot, but it's basically an excuse for all of the Doctors to argue with each other, and who doesn't want that?)

Love In 2100 by Mads_Pads

In the new year 2100, quite literally anything is possible. Take a shuttle to Earth's half of the moon! Ride the hover train to work! Work at one of the top Space Entity Negotiations companies in the country! Although these things are true, Micah Love's current life as a Lunar Inc lab assistant is best categorized as discombobulated and complacent. After three years of hard work and no promotion in sight, a microaggressive boss, and a coworker who doesn't shut up, what can she do but dryly monologue? She doesn't hate her life, but there is a distinct lack of color and meh that paints every experience. Nothingness is preferred to adversity though. That is until one night, everything's ruined by a surprise at her doorstep. Jump in on the wild ride where Micah discovers the meaning of caring not just for others, but also for herself. However unconventional the ride is to get there! It's short, but fun just like hopping on the good ol' hover! These are all original characters by me, art is also by me! If you'd like to see more of them or just my art in general, it's: @mads_arte on Instagram! Enjoy! Updates every week!

Death Bound: Life Support Edition by AuthorARCurry

Life is full of ups and downs, there's no question about it. We're tossed through the ringer daily, constantly faced with challenges and left wondering how we'll deal with them. Will we give up, or will we try? Will we cave, or will we push through until we succeed? Will we whine and moan about our misfortunes as we dwell on them for years, or will we learn from them, shrug them off, and heal ourselves with laughter? I choose the latter, which is why I've collected these darkly, comedic short stories into this collection for your amusement. The world's a bit tense, so unwind and relax. I'll take it from here. NOTE: Death Bound: Life Support Edition can be purchased on Amazon or my website - ARCurry.com
