Don't stand out. Don't speak up. Stay quiet. Be who they want you to be. In a dark future, the people are placed under mind control, lured by propaganda of the Imperium, their government. They are unable to think for themselves and constantly restricted. Astrid Hale has lived her whole life under the control of the Imperium and wants more than anything to be their most devoted citizen, willing to do anything to prove it. Callisto Adalwen finds herself as the only one who is completely her own person - a dangerous secret that could lead to her death if she fails to keep it. When their lives collide, they are forced to confront what they have been told and choose between their morals and their own safety. Two girls. Two realities. One story.

"At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."--Katniss Everdeen (Catching Fire, chapter 8)

We Were Stardust Once by rrrick_grimesss
27 parts Ongoing
They were born from the stars, but the world refuses to let them stay. It has been three years since the Genesis Flares, the solar phenomenon that gave birth to Astrans: beings with abilities beyond human comprehension. Some see them as miracles, others as abominations but to those in power, they are a threat that must be controlled, exploited, or eradicated. Fear spreads like wildfire, and war is inevitable. Among the displaced and the hunted, a survivor fights to carve out a future for her people, refusing to let them be erased from history. By her side stands the one who saved her, a sister in all but blood, a friend who has vowed to protect her, even if it means keeping dangerous secrets. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, they must navigate a world that has already decided what they are: enemies. In the heart of the conflict, two minds once dedicated to progress now wrestle with the weight of their own creations. One, a scientist bound by failing health, seeks to undo the greatest mistake of his life before time runs out. The other, an engineer thrust unwillingly into war, struggles between duty, regret, and the burden of being the only one left to fight. Lines blur between vengeance and justice, survival and sacrifice. The choices they make will determine not only the outcome of the war but the future of the Astrans themselves. Before the war, before the fear, they were all the same. They were all stardust once.

The Deadlands - dry, arid, and merciless. A place where only the scent of death hangs loosely on the scorching winds. This is all that remains of a once bright world. This is the only world that Rain-Born has ever known. As a warrior of the Hanakh tribe she is without peer - a fearless, cold-blooded huntress. Knowing her skills, her village Elder bestows her with a sacred quest she must not refuse. She must reach the ancient Iron Forest and find the object that will save their tribe from certain destruction at the hands of their enemies: Callisto. But Rain-Born's journey is not her own. Unbeknownst to her, another wanders in the desolate wastes under very different circumstances. One who will come to call her friend. For these two travelers, the great Iron Forest holds the key to a brighter future... ...If they can survive long enough to reach it. ______________________________________________________________________ ----You may also find Callisto on: Royal Road.com (Crossposted as of 04/06/23)---- Awards: First Place in 'The Berry Pancake Awards' (22/01/23) First Place in 'The Gloria Regali Awards' (17/10/22) Second Place in 'The Count Awards' (15/04/22) Fifth Place in 'The Dusk Awards' (15/05/22) Features: Dystopian & Apocalypse 'Disastrous Dystopias and Paradise Utopias' (23/01/23) Stories Undiscovered 'Into the Abyss' (23/10/22) Wattpad Darkfantasy: 'Dark Laboratory' (15/09/22) Stories Undiscovered: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi (03/06/23) Accolades: #1 in 'Talking Animals' (07/05/22) #2 in 'Girl protagonist' (18/05/22) #1 in 'Fantasy Adventure' (12/09/22) TW: Strong violence/language.

Extraordinary Mistakes

40 parts Complete Mature

Two opposite sides come face to face, forcing each other to reconsider their version of the truth. *** A minority of the world's population carries a genetic modification. They are called deviants and some develop an ability by the age of seven. In the United States of America, deviants and humans fought each other in the Great War, which ended when the deviants lost. Fifteen years later, everyone lives finally in peace. But when an assassination takes place, it sets in motion several events that put Emily Roberts, the poster child of deviant integration, face to face with Rachel Moore, the leader of the terrorist group for the liberation of deviants. What is the truth and is it worth finding it out? Warning: depiction of trauma / violence / abuse.
