In the far future, humanity has colonized the galaxy and established contact with other intelligent species. Dr. Sarah Singh is a brilliant astrophysicist and a protégé of the late Arthur C. Clarke. She is obsessed with finding a way to cross the event horizon of a black hole, a feat previously thought impossible. With the help of a team of engineers and scientists, she designs a revolutionary spacecraft that can withstand the extreme gravity and radiation of a black hole.
Meanwhile, a group of humans who left the galaxy centuries ago have returned with a warning. They have encountered a hostile alien race that has destroyed countless civilizations, and they are headed towards the Milky Way. The alien fleet is led by a mysterious entity known as the Shrouded One, which has the power to manipulate reality itself.
Dr. Singh realizes that the only way to save humanity is to harness the power of the black hole and use it to create a weapon capable of destroying the alien fleet. She and her team embark on a perilous journey into the heart of the black hole, where they discover a strange realm of energy and consciousness that defies all known laws of physics. There, they meet a being known as the Transcendent, who has transcended physical form and achieved enlightenment.
The Transcendent reveals that the Shrouded One is a rogue member of their own race, who has fallen into madness and seeks to destroy all other forms of life. The Transcendent agrees to help Dr. Singh and her team, but warns them that the price of using the black hole as a weapon will be the destruction of the galaxy itself.
As the alien fleet approaches, Dr. Singh must make a fateful decision. Will she risk everything to save humanity, or will she choose to let the galaxy be destroyed in the hope of preserving some small spark of life for the future?

Ragnarök The war of the gods The Valkyrie are running short of Einherjar, the souls of the valiantly slain in battle. These souls are incorporated into the god's armed forces. An armed force numbering in the countless millions that are just waiting for the call to battle, a battle of might and revenge against their opponents, the Jötnar giants and their offspring. But first the Jötnar must be brought into the fold to destroy an enemy that could vanquish them both with relative ease. The Valkyrie cannot allow any outside influence to disrupt their existence, an existence that has been teetering on the brink of war for countless years. So when Loki, a Jötnar giant adopted by the supreme god of the Valkyrie and cast aside due to his lack of respect and therefore punished, decides, on his escape, to initiate contact with Earth thereby hastening Ragnarök - the war of the gods seems eminent. Meanwhile, the Galactic Empire, having escaped Earths clutches, is suddenly embroiled in a covert attempt to bring Earth back into their stagnant existence. Katya Berotivich, a young and vengeful woman succeeds in becoming the new Emperor of the Galactic Empire. Her philosophy is a simple one; take revenge on all those that hurt her and protect the Empire by whatever means possible. Even should it call for making friends of enemies, enemies that have attacked the Empire for hundreds of years but never outright destroying it. This is Ragnarök, Where PROPHESY HAS BECOME A REALITY!
Stargate Aschen by KimberleyJksn
11 parts Complete Mature
A Science-Fiction/Adventure Romance. In the year 799 (Aschen calender), Earth is a colony under strict reign by an oppressive Aschen government. The Aschen have turned humans into slaves, and seized control over the entire planet, including the Stargate--a device that allows them to form a wormhole and travel thousands of light years across the galaxy to their home planet within seconds. Humanity is at the brink of extinction. Due to advanced Aschen medicine human lifespan has almost tripled, but most of the human population is born infertile. Only a small percent of humans are so-called gifted ones, who are able to conceive/father children. Strict rules apply to these gifted ones, as the Aschen government wants to uphold the human population. Samantha Carter is 25 years old. She has just come of age and undergoes her first fertility tests. When her tests turn out positive, her life is about to take a dramatic turn for the worse. Unwilling to accept a forced marriage and life in a breeding facility under Aschen control, she runs away from home to find the resistance and fight for the freedom of Earth as well as her own. As she meets Jack O'Neill, camp leader of resistance Cell 4, neither of them realizes they are bound together by more than the mutual goal to free Earth from Aschen reign. Side by side, they fight to liberate their world from the oppression of an alien race using a second, secret Stargate found almost a century before in the Antarctica forests... Note: Although this work borrows characters and concepts from the television show Stargate SG-1, this work stands on its own and is independent from the television show.
Experiment X by bjorghalla
15 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.
