**The fates of a barista, a dancing criminal, and a deadly stranger become tangled in a world where the apocalypse is old news**

All Mads Capot wants to do is run her coffee shop in peace and to be able to pay her bills until the next wave of  intragalactic tourists arrives. But when a mysterious green-eyed stranger walks into the shop and seems to be the answer to all her problems, she's immediately skeptical. And her instincts have always been good . . .
     Luc is mysterious and adaptable, a drifter with a dark past and a score to settle with one of the galaxy's most infamous criminals. When he crosses paths with Mads, he inadvertently draws her into a complicated world of outlaws, renegades, and ancient curses existing on the fringe of a destroyed world. Can they put aside their differences to survive, or will they end up as two more nameless corpses?

Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, Baz Luhrmann films, 2000s pop punk, club bangers and a dash of Star Wars, "The Last Coffee Shop" is a science-fantasy adventure for fans of Firefly, White Collar, fairy-tale retellings, and Diana Wynne Jones.

But as Aaralyn strikes up an unlikely friendship with the Prince, she starts to piece together their nation's troubled history, and the mysterious figure that lies at the center of all of it. However, when Insomnia is attacked and she comes out of it with a mysterious power that's as useful as it is dangerous, she begins to wonder... What really happened that terrible night in Galahd?

We're in Space ... So What? by Judah0429

In a universe teeming with danger, opportunity, and corruption, a mismatched crew of misfits just wants to survive. Judah, a former gladiator with a penchant for violence; Angelia, a brilliant but withdrawn mechanic; Ryan, the strategist always looking for the path of least resistance; and Jamie, a laid-back joker hiding deeper scars. They've made their way through alien landscapes, lawless planets, and intense battles, scavenging and scheming to stay afloat. But their latest escape, a peaceful refuge on a remote planet, shatters when the International Space Police intervene, forcing them to flee once again. After a narrow victory with the help of local villagers, they drift to a sprawling metropolis, hoping to blend in, find work, and live low. As they settle into quiet lives, unbeknownst to them, a determined officer from their past-hell-bent on vengeance-begins hunting them down, one by one. What begins as an attempt at revenge reveals a larger conspiracy within the ranks of the intergalactic police force. When Jamie uncovers the officer's plans, he offers a truce: help her take down the real villain, her corrupt commanding officer. Now, with their fragile peace upended, the crew is thrust into a high-stakes game where survival means facing the past and an enemy they can't outrun. It's a battle of wits, brawn, and everything in between-and the galaxy is watching.

✧The Earthe of the Elves✧ by StoriesbyAvery

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.

On A Quest To Save A Purple Noodle! [A Hat in Time Fanfiction] by inenna

I didn't like the other one because I personally thought it was a bit rushed. Even so, I hope you enjoy. Now, time to wing a introduction of this story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a week and a couple of days since the hat wearing child saved the world from Mustache Girl. The Mafia were happy, some of them were still waiting for their boss to be gifted a new body, Express Owls and Moon Penguins were glad that no one died, besides them dying to help the child during their fight, Snatcher and his minions were at peace, but were still fighting with the fact that they were still up against Queen Vanessa who is still trying to take over Subcon Forest, the Nomads were glad to be safe from all of the trouble along with the goats from the mountains, and pretty much, everyone was glad to be safe. But that's when the real problems began. You see, Hat Kid had to leave with their best friend who's like a sibling to them, Bow Kid. The two kids had to leave to head back home. And when they did, everyone was heartbroken and a few people had returned back to their old ways. Snatcher being cold and distant, looking for number one(I.E, himself.), Mafia Boss was gifted a robotic body to inhabit for the meantime while dealing with pesky Mu, beating up his mafia men, and last, but not least, the two birds from Dead Bird Studio; Conductor and DJ Grooves. What is to happen if things fall apart? Like, Vanessa kidnapping Snatcher, integrating him on WHY he left her when he is HER prince which causes havoc on the other areas of the world. He was still, sorta of, weak from his battle with Hat Kid, trying to recover after the day they had fought each other and when the hatted child left for home with the bow wearing child, having finishing his Death Wishes, going on a cruise, and going to the Metro. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting time of writing: 4/5/2020 11:13 PM Finishing time of writing: 4/20/2020 12:19 AM

A Siren's Spell | Human Alastor Fanfiction by Artemis1214

" My, my, I didn't know you had a gun on you, you little surprise. You really know how to handle yourself. " He chuckles softly, a smile spread across his face as he spoke. Esme gasps, " Why are you following me? " She stumbles back, pointing the gun at him, " Really? You thought my father would send me here without protection? " He scoffs and swiftly grabs the gun from her just as gracefully as he had when he was holding her close while dancing. " You're an interesting little dame, aren't you? " He chuckles, his laughter laced with mischief. He placed the chamber back in with a flick of his wrist. His gaze shifted to her as he spoke, " You might be Daddy's girl, but you don't have the gull to actually shoot. " He speaks casually. " No gull? " She repeated teasingly. She doesn't say anything, but swiftly yanks the gun away from him and nonchalantly shoots the unconscious man on the floor - square in the head. His jaw clicked as he clenched it tightly, his eyes flickered a faint crimson as his smile grew wider. " You're full of surprises, aren't you? " He pauses, " I like that.

"I wish we could just shoot both of them and see just which one winds up with him in the end," the blond sighed. This was going to be the project that kept him up at night, he just knew it.

Awks. ✓ by awalkingwaffle

*** "*Sobs* I'm so happy to have a character that's exactly like me." - @TakenUsernameSoz. "This story is so normal that it's unique; a breath of fresh air! Gives us normal girls hope, hi hi!" - @LocalSlayer "This book is seriously my inspiration to not be afraid to show who I am." - @Who_Says_Duh "THAT IS SO ME!!!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF VOODOO, MAGICAL BOOK OR SOME SHIT?!?!" - @ThePanther10101. *** Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.
