comingofage family lgbtqia lostlove mentalillness multiverse scifi

All Leo wants is happiness. He wants his schizophrenic brother to get better. He wants a mom who's not constantly halfway across the world. He wants the ability to finish his education. Really, it doesn't seem that much to ask. 
Leo's so close to finding his perfect life. All he needs to do is figure out the intricacy of the multiverse. It sounds impossible, but Leo knows he's not too far off; and his suspicions are confirmed with the arrival of the brash, yet endearing, Icarus. Icarus promises to take Leo to a place where he can finally be happy. But can a person really chose between the life they want, and the one they're born into?

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

She Bleeds for Us: The Galactic Consortium 3 by RJEliason

For Gabriel Holloway, a poor kid from the ghettoes of Freetown, Sierre Leone, not much has changed since the arrival of the Consortium. That is until a new protest movement sweeps the country. The Consortium could do so much more for the poor and oppressed, if their own corrupt leaders would only stand aside and let them. But they won't. So they must be pushed aside, at whatever cost. Jake, an American boy, continues his job delivering supplies for the Consortium in North Africa. But it's a region increasingly torn apart by civil unrest and revolution. The poor want more help from the consortium. Local warlords and corrupt politicians want to keep their power. Jake has never experienced anything like it, being in the middle of a huge social upheaval. He has no clue what is going to happen, but he knows where he belongs, in the middle of it all.

Leo Wants To Die by ltlmaker

Winter is settling in, the air becoming nippy and cold, sinking deep into Leo's body. He doesn't move an inch. 'How long does it take to freeze to death?' Leo wondered, tucking his arms closer to his body, 'Ages probably...' He should go back, really, it was getting late. They'd be mad at him for being out so late. He was always messing up, so it wouldn't be any different than usual. He knew he was a headache. Maybe it would be better if he were- . It's been years since the almost apocalypse happened, all their wounds were healed and tough talks were had. So why is Leo feeling like this? What is wrong with him? Everything is fine! Why can't he just enjoy this happy ending like he's supposed to!? Utterly sick of his broken brain, Leo goes on a quest to figure out what the hell is going on with him and to fix it once and for all.

The Weight of Grace by Ole_writes

Leo was never meant to be here. At least, that's how it feels. Adopted young and orphaned twice, he's spent his life caught between two worlds, never fully belonging to either. In a house full of siblings who share the same last name but not the same blood, he wonders if family is something you're born into or something you fight to keep. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, Leo must decide where he stands before he's left with nothing but the weight of Grace.
