Warfare's Chimeras by KarismaEdwards

The year is 2112. Yellowstone has erupted, drowning America in ash and shadow. Crops have withered, fresh water vanishes faster than it can be replenished, and the world's climate rages beyond control. Nations collapse. Wars ignite. Humanity is no longer fighting to live-but to outlast extinction. In secret labs, science has been twisted beyond morality. Soldiers, drafted to fight for mankind's survival, are subjected to experiments meant to forge the ultimate weapon. But instead of saviors, abominations are born. Decorated war hero Sergeant Clark refuses to stand by as his brothers-in-arms are turned into monsters. His search for justice leads him straight to the scientist who engineered the atrocities and sacrificed ethics for survival. But what begins as bitter enmity twists into a fragile alliance when the two discover a darker truth. When the truth about mankind's engineered downfall comes to light, survival depends on their uneasy bond. Together, they must navigate a world unraveling into chaos, where every choice is a gamble and every ally could be a traitor. If they cannot stop the hidden power that set this catastrophe in motion, the final war will not be fought between nations- It will be fought between man and monster.

Avengers-Captain's Secret III: The 7th Stone by TheRealChione

The Snap has left everything in ruin. Lesedi's world, like everyone else's, has turned upside down, but has also taken an interesting turn. Her looks and powers have changed-or evolved-since it all happened. As others mourn the missing, she watches Steve mourn his past love, Peggy Carter, despite their marriage and family. When she finds that there is a plan in motion to try to go back in time for the stones, she fears her captain will and never come back. She decides to go on a quest with her family to find Jotunheim, the iced lands where she was kidnapped and held prisoner until rescued by her husband. There she must find the dragon that gave him the stone in hopes of learning its secrets, the reasons for the power she now possesses and hopefully find a way to help those she cares about as she contemplates a future with or without the man she loves. (Pictures and characters are not mine, except for those notated.)

Chasing the Ember:Echoes of the Void by theyluv_jh0n

--- CHASING THE EMBER: ECHOES OF THE VOID In the end, it wasn't strength that saved them. It was the refusal to break. --- WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The Setting: A Dying Earth and the Last Ark Earth is uninhabitable. Scarred by war, disease, and climate collapse, the planet no longer supports life. The Emberwake Ark is humanity's final escape: a city-sized spacecraft holding 65,000 of Earth's last survivors, adrift in the void. No weapons. No military. Just thinkers, engineers, broken families, scavengers, and those who paid, tricked, or clawed their way aboard. Supplies are critically low. Food, oxygen, water, and mental stability are all degrading. No one's unscarred - some physically, others emotionally - except one man who's held together by a very thin, but unbroken, thread. --- The Universe: Cosmic Terror Meets Myth-Made-Flesh Space is not silent. It is alive with ancient, unknowable forces. Humanity begins to discover that myths weren't stories. They were warnings. Earth's ancient pantheons-Greek, Norse, Aztec, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese-are distorted reflections of real cosmic beings. Entities that live between stars. These include: Jörmungandr - A space-leviathan that coils around dead stars. Apep's Spawn - Shadow-born creatures that eat dreams and time. Fenrir-class Entities - Beasts that hunt on instinct and collapse reality around them. Watchers - Beings that only observe. Their gaze erases people from memory and time. The Sun-Eater - An endless void that mimics stars and consumes anything seeking warmth. Quetzacryon - A radiant, godlike being that gives paradise... before incinerating all who submit to it. These aren't gods. They are forces. Intelligent, instinctive, and indifferent. Time loops, parallel realities, psychological traps, shifting laws of physics - the universe itself resists comprehension. ---
