Outside the window of the bus, I watched old mansions of Inman Park with their dead trees and bushes. I guess that's me, now. "Granny, I don't want you to go, either." Luna, my 4 year-old granddaughter, hugged me with her smelly goblin toy my daughter's sorry ex gave her for her birthday last week.

The war pitted brother against brother, and they are not sparing anyone, no matter how innocent. However, with the hand she'd been dealt, Victoria is far from innocent. She stuck around for her sister, Sarah, followed her Father's rules, or at least tried to when nothing was ever good enough for him. He trained her to fight since she was 9, learned to fight, to win, and to not show how she felt about it. Despite hating it, she never dreamed of leaving. Sarah was more important, the bubbly 14-year-old was always her first priority, and she couldn't be more relieved that Sarah had it better than she did. But no matter how much she wants to, Vee can't run away from this war. She has to end it.

Emancipation [Juneteenth story / alternate history] (Turn-of-the-Century Toughs) by duskpeterson

"They always held their breaths when the soldiers passed by, but so far, no battles had been held anywhere near Doughoregan Manor or any of its quarters. And sometimes a posse set out with the hounds, to hunt down the quarry." Civil war is tearing apart the land. Again. For centuries, the Kingdom Vovim to the northwest and the Queendom of Yclau to the southeast have fought each other for the border territory of Mip. Sometimes the Vovimians are lords of the land. Sometimes the people of Yclau are. The only Mippites whose lives don't change are the slaves. Young Sling knows that his own life's work has already been determined: he is to be a house slave, serving his master's son. But secret meetings in hidden places with his master's son make Sling uncertain of what will happen next. When news arrives of a proclamation that will allow Sling to leave his hated master, Sling faces a difficult choice: whether to flee to safety or to stay and face the dangers of an unknown future. "Emancipation" is loosely inspired by events at a border-state manor during and after the American Civil War. This is a Juneteenth holiday gift story for my readers.

Unnatural Instinct: Amazon by smashfiction

In your world, women are the dominant sex. You fight, hunt and defend while the men nurture your children and keep you happy. That is until an Earth man stumbles into your camp and turns everything upside down. It is common knowledge that women are the more capable sex: powerful, ambitious, intelligent. Big and strong, you're built to hunt and fight, while the men make good nurturers and loving partners. It has been this way for generations. On a scouting mission, you capture a man lurking around your border. He is not like the others, strangely dressed and spouting ridiculous claims that men should be treated equally with women. Nonsense, as far as you're concerned. But when the marauding Northerners threaten your tribe, you are forced to reconsider. Perhaps the stranger is right; perhaps men are much more than what they seem. The problem is, have you realised it too late? Part 7 of the Unnatural Instinct Series: the hard and fast, wacky and naughty sexual encounters between humans and their monstrous or magical lovers.
