Earth, After ✔️ by talia-v
37 parts Complete
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Experiment X by bjorghalla
7 parts Ongoing Mature
In a future where science has unlocked secrets once thought impossible, Earth's most ambitious project is an experiment shrouded in mystery-and ethical gray areas. Dr. Aria Voss, a brilliant geneticist with a mind like no other, is brought in to study an extraordinary alien specimen. She's a woman of science, grounded in logic and precision, yet challenged by the world's view of her autism, which has isolated her from colleagues and any real connections. But her work offers her purpose and control in a life that often feels anything but. Her newest subject, known only as "Specimen X," is like nothing Aria has ever encountered. With a striking humanoid form marked by bioluminescent skin, intricate markings, and eyes that seem to hold a universe of secrets, he is a being from a world humanity can barely imagine. But as she delves deeper into her study, Aria begins to suspect that he is far more than just a research subject. Underneath the cold detachment of the laboratory, there's a fierce intelligence-and a sorrow that resonates with her own. As Aria uncovers the dark truths hidden within her organization, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to science and her growing empathy for the alien who has become her closest ally. When she learns of a sinister agenda threatening not only his survival but also her own, Aria must choose: stay silent and remain complicit, or risk everything to set them both free. Experiment X is a tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to break free of society's bounds, even if it means defying the very foundations of science and humanity.
Mars Argo & the Silver Wolf [original] by glennlusional
11 parts Ongoing
What remains of the human race has migrated to the planet Ceren of the Andromeda Galaxy following a nuclear war that eradicated all inhabitable places on Earth, living amongst twelve other species of aliens. Several decades into humans - adapted later into Cerens - becoming a part of their solar system, conflict arose within the thirteen planets, pitting the Titans against the rest of the galaxy in a long, violent Great War that would eventually end in the imprisonment of almost all Titans, and a new Andromedian Council to be created in order to prevent and subside future conflicts to avoid such a destructive battle from happening again. Mars Argo's father was the leading face of the Life Alliance that faced the Titans in the war, and a year after the dust had settled from the final battle, he had gone missing when she was only four years old. Fifteen years later, Mars lives with fruitless hope that her father is still alive but is unable to come back to her and her mother, who is a shell of who she once used to be with her husband presumed dead. When sneaking around the pilot school's restricted grounds, Mars finds what might be the only thing that can lead her to answers about her father: his warship, the Silver Wolf. Unbeknownst to the civilians of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Titan Army has gathered its scraps and its bearings, climbing back to its feet with revenge on the forefront, led by the tyrannical Commander Amon. Reluctant to be burdened with the responsibility of preventing a second Great War, Mars accepts the role of leading a new rendition of the Life Alliance in hopes of uniting the former members to prepare for the threat of attack by the Titans- and finding out more about her father's disappearance.

happiness. it's almost as difficult as trying to summarise a whole book in just a few lines. so, where do we begin? ara agassi. 17 year old girl who coped with the shitty life built for her by drugs, cigarettes and sex, yet somehow she still felt completely empty. all she wanted was to be happy... or die. or better yet, not exist. all she ever wanted was to feel loved, whole, not much to ask for, right? wrong. love, peace and all that other bullshit was impossible for her. how are you supposed to recover from your past when it seems to define you? with a little help? what happens when that help is from a childhood friend who turns ara's world upside down. would that, maybe, push her off the edge?
