Excerpt from the story, chapter 3:

She shakes her head. Someone did show up. Someone who thought of her as more than just a young and pretty girl, who believed in her and what she could do. And she declined. And yes, Mr Smith might be an asshole, whose business model can best be described as murder. And yet.
She looks at Ellie, whose little hands are grabbing the blanket while she is asleep. How many deaths was she willing to cause to keep Ellie alive and happy? Hundreds? Thousands? If stated like that, the question suddenly seems easy. She looks at her sleeping daughter and smiles.

GLOWING (Joel Miller) [SLOW UPDATES] by spider-writes

"If everything had gone right... if the world was still how it used to be, we never would've met." When Jenna deserted from FEDRA and joined the Fireflies, she always figured she would get shot on patrol or get hanged for treason. She'd accepted that she was no more than a pawn in the pursuit of liberation in the Boston QZ. But when her entire patrol is killed, Jenna's purpose is finally clear: help deliver this random girl across the United States and save the world. Why? Because this "random" girl is immune. On her journey, Jenna discovers that she has the capacity to love, despite the apocalypse she calls home. It is isn't easy, and-Joel-the man who is accompanying them is a closed book... a mystery. Jenna never thought she would meet anyone who saw her as more than expendable, and she definitely didn't think Joel would be that person. "Well then... I'm glad it all went to shit." _______________________________________________________________________________ STARTED: 30/01/2023 FINISHED: Still in progress. _______________________________________________________________________________ 🏆ACHEIVEMENTS🏆 1 in #ellie 1 in #mandalorian 1 in #dindjarin 1 in #troybaker 1 in #thelastofusshow 1 in #playstation 1 in #hbo 1 in #hbomax 1 in #joel 1 in #pedro 8 in #thelastofus _______________________________________________________________________________ ⚠️WARNING⚠️ mature themes, language, violence, weapons, sex, mentions of canibalism and death.

Mother Earth. by authorreflection

"I want to create a better world where no one hurts each other, to foster a place where love doesn't have to make hate, where no one hurts or kills anybody. A world where I don't have to hurt anybody anymore." The First Dawn has concluded; Children of Blight are running rampant, and the last remaining Bastions of humanity are searching and killing for them for their last chance to find one to restore the earth. The World Capital stands above everyone, with a shadow government smothering the people. The power balance has been tipped for a century now- then came a girl named Armageddon, changing the world forever. Lydia Armageddon, born on the nuclear fronts of the decimated America, was sold to be a child soldier of The World Capital and is found out as a Child of Blight, her trait being named 'Convergence.' The world is at risk of war once more, with the starting gun being fired for the race to control her. Subject to all matters of mutilation, violation, and experimentation, she escapes Blight Laboratories and finds that the world outside is no better than the months she spent in captivity. Hatred for humanity forms, and a monster is coming to be, slowly, just as a fanatical religion predicted all those years ago. Father like daughter. Until she decides to rob an old man sleeping by a fire with an empty gun, not knowing her life was about to be changed forever. The world prepares for the second dawn as Armageddon's child is born-their saviour. The world looks red, and Armageddon is there in the middle of it all, atop a mountain of corpses upon Mother Earth's flesh. March 17th, 2157: A family of three Children of Blight was found hiding on the edge of the Chinese Blight. The events that unfolded that day, as reported by the 48th Platoon of Russian Cyber-Militia, are as follows:

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

the Zone of Silence by UniqueZebra03

A question came to me during a reset. A question that has started bleeding through my veins. A question I whisper over and over in my sleep. A question you think I am asking passively. But it stitches into me, coiling around my being. A question I keep asking because it doesn't make sense. All that is left of the world is a city. She is the only person left. She doesn't know what happened, where the people went, why there is no life. You are there. But who are you? What is she? What is she supposed to do when the world resets, and more and more of the city is demolished. She's running out of time. *Completed*

i know the end // j. r. baker by sopranoeilish

You ask for Ellie Williams core Julien Baker and I deliver. Alternate Universe post-apocalyptic story. Think The Walking Dead meets The Last of Us meets Zero Horizon Dawn. ~ The robots were never designed to take over every function, just your basic ones. Specifically engineered devices meant to serve only the 1% that could afford them. They were never meant to be accessible. But when creating any technological advancement you need to think of updates, enhancements, anything to keep the cash flow running. It was the picture perfect definition of how greed corrupts all. At some point they went too far, and they became too sentient. Fused together to get bigger, larger than life, take over entire corporations, cities, completely and totally dismantle the government as it was. When fused together each device developed its own type of venom. When infected it lead to complete and total organ failure, hardening your insides, twisting your DNA until you're just like one of them. Julien Rose Baker was left for dead originally, broken down into nothing during a takeover but not enough to completely infected. She was nearly lifeless whenever a leader of a growing community found her. Fast forward through recovery and years of training and now she's probably the most ruthless second-in-command. Incapacitating every device she comes across, every other cyborg they created, and destroying each and every hard drive plucked from their metal minds. Aurora was previously a med student headed to be the most promising resident in Southern California, before the takeover. Now she spends most of her time on the run amongst the desolated state searching for a cure. Amongst the communities she is highly sought after, hunted, to put it as bluntly as possible so they can take most of research for their own use. Despite the amount of people on the lookout for her though she has never managed to be found. Until Julien finds her.

My Possessive Vampire Boss✔️ {1} by bjorghalla

My life was simple and easy. A bit lonely but I liked it. It wasn't until I literally crashed into the one who would change my life forever. My world got turned upside down and everything changed. And he was in the middle of it all. I realized that the girl I was doesn't exist anymore. Although my life doesn't make any sense now, I know one thing. I wasn't living until I met him. __________________ "YOU ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE!!!" He yells at me as his grips tightens around my wrist. I wince from the pain but he doesn't notice it. "He better keep his hands off you or there will be consequences, this dagger is the only thing that can kill him for good" He whispers in my ear and laughs cruelly. "What are you going to do?" I ask. My voice nearly cracks. "I'm going to kill him" He says laughing and takes up a dagger. "No, please, no" I whisper. The tears roll down my face. He throws me down to the floor, then walks out with the dagger. He slams the door shut, leaving me here all alone crying on the floor in pain. {A stunning cover made by @bitchmafia} {HIGHEST RANK #18 in vampire} {HIGHEST RANK #14 in kindness} {HIGHEST RANK #1 in secretary}

"You have fifty five minutes left," "I'm not going anywhere, I can't allow you to release that virus. Drew let's out a chuckle, "I'm not a murderer," Drew stops smiling for the first time and frowns, "I don't know what bullshit they've been feeding you amateurs about me but I'm not the bad guy," she shakes her head and huffs, "you are the bad guys, not me," "You expect me to believe that," Joel asks rhetorically. Drew smiles and shrugs, "no, but you have forty seven minutes left, I really don't want to kill you," "Then don't and let me bring you in," Drew let's out a laugh, "so they can torture me and lock me up in a metal cell where I'll live like an animal till I die?" "This is my case," "I know Joel, but they'll 'take it from here' the moment you bring me in and you'll never see me again," Joel frowns and realises Drew is right, they will take her away, "don't you deserve it?" Joel asks lifting her eyebrows. Drew smiles and nods slightly, "let's say I do; do you even know what I did?" Joel shakes her head. "What I did Joel; was find out I was the bad guy the whole time," Drew whispers harshly. Joel shakes her head, "you were helping people, bringing them in and..." "And what Joel? Killing them? Imprison them? What do you think they do with all those weapons?" Drew shakes her head, "I won't allow you to take this one; I can't, and I'll kill you if I have to," Joel sighs, "I really can't just abort the mission without a reason," Drew points at the bracelet on her wrist, "break that, they'll be here in ten minutes and you'll have an excuse to aborting the mission," Joel frowns, "a false alarm?" "No, you've been shot," just then Drew pulls the trigger hitting Joel in her chest missing her heart only by inches.
