When Gene's left to navigate the cold, cruel streets of Kavo on his own, he has to navigate through a town ravaged by decades of neglect and intrigue.

When Gods Cry by KairuEdwin

In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.

Beneath his fur by ILoveFurryes321

Beneath His Fur is a deeply personal exploration of anxiety, self-worth, and the quiet battles fought behind a carefully maintained mask. Inspired by the author's own experiences with anxiety and the pressure to appear "fine," this story weaves themes of emotional vulnerability and resilience into a tender, unfolding romance. Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals where societal struggles mirror our own, Max appears to have it all together. Outwardly, he's confident, quick-witted, and seemingly at ease with the world around him. But this is a mask-a defense he's perfected to keep others from seeing the weight he carries beneath the surface. Behind his laid-back demeanor is a young man wrestling with depression, overthinking, and the constant fear of being "too much." When Elliot-a quiet, guarded fox-enters Max's life, the cracks in his mask begin to widen. Elliot is someone who sees through the facade, even if he doesn't fully understand it. Together, they embark on a slow, tentative journey toward healing and connection, navigating their emotions and discovering intimacy in ways that feel both unfamiliar and transformative. Beneath His Fur doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of mental health, but it balances those struggles with moments of hope, warmth, and humor. As Max's relationship with Elliot deepens, so too does his understanding of himself, offering readers a raw and authentic glimpse into the complexities of vulnerability and love. This story contains explicit NSFW content, intertwined naturally as the characters' bond evolves. It's a narrative about the highs and lows of self-discovery, the courage it takes to let someone in, and the profound impact of connection. Thank you for joining me on this journey. While this is my first story, it's one born of honesty and a deep desire to resonate with those who may see parts of themselves in Max and Elliot. I hope you'll stay for the ride.

Vicious by entermypseudonymhere

Krovograd bleeds. The north thrives on power; the south survives on rage. In a city carved by hate, rebels and outcasts collide, searching for justice in the shadows. Love festers into betrayal, grief ignites into vengeance, and the line between savior and destroyer fades. How much can you lose before you become the very thing you fight? As whispers of rebellion spread, danger lingers in every alley. The government's iron grip tightens, while fractures within the resistance threaten to break it from the inside. Lies twist into truth, and betrayal waits like a knife in the dark. Each choice they make pulls them deeper into a fight where hope flickers uncertainly, and survival comes at a cost. This is the story of a city on the brink, of alliances tested in fire, and of a people who must decide whether vengeance will define them or destroy them. One to be a murderer. One to be murdered. One to be a martyr. One to be a monarch. One to go mad.
