Day 18 - 13 Days to Save the World

He's the worst neighbor in the world, but he's all she's got. 

Dedicated couponer Ember puts aside a long standing hostility with her neighbor in the face of worsening conditions in the neighborhood. They each have something the other needs, and sometimes you have to be willing to work with the enemy to stay alive.

30 Days to Save the World by writersconnx

Thirty days. The countdown has started, North America shivers under the shadow of a massive alien spacecraft, and humanity is hurtling toward an unknown future that lurks at the end of the timer. Somewhere, somehow, the heroes are making their plans to fight the extraterrestrials. But this isn't about them. From the team at WritersConnX comes a new anthology about the rest of us - the average, the ordinary, the unassuming - and the many paths we run when our time is cut short. And no damn aliens!

Psychic Shorthand by Star_Tro

MC: Here's a How Not to Survive a Hostage Situation: Don't be me. Rule#1 Don't meet a guy fighting against cutlery. Rule#2 Don't get mistaken for someone with talent when you've absolutely none. Rule#3 Don't let a war, a high-stakes revenge plot, and one human weapon disguised as a person wreck your already failing life. (Oh, and don't expect me to tell you my name. You'll have to earn that.) But if you do? Congrats. You're now in my position-trapped, bleeding, and somehow still expected to be the sane one. Trowa: You're not the sane one. MC: Okay, first of all-rude. Second of all, enter Trowa. Trowa: Don't enter me into this. MC: Sigh. He's a questionable ally who moves people like chess pieces. Trowa: Incorrect. I don't play chess with lives. I just... redecorate the board when necessary. MC: Yeah. That's so much better. He plans. I panic. Together, we're one bad decision away from death. Trowa: Two. I have contingencies. MC: Oh, great. So we die second. Fantastic. And if we survive this, I'm going to need therapy. Trowa: You need therapy even if we don't. ################################## She was supposed to be a bystander. Now, she's bleeding in the middle of a war she doesn't understand. A single step-wrong place, wrong time-and now she's entangled in a brutal game of shifting alliances, weaponized secrets, and people who treat lives like collateral. She wanted quiet. Instead, she's dodging kidnappers, advanced tech, and a human weapon in the shape of a too-strategic ally. The worst part? She is not important-just unlucky. And in this kind of game, even those important don't survive long. ################################## For fans of sarcastic narrators, bad decisions, and humor that's basically Percy Jackson... if he grew up, got more cynical, bled more, and forgot how to run away. ##################################

LoveTober: In the World of Samaritan's Legacy by TheBriter

This a collection of prompts I used to write Hember's story in the month of October 2024. Lovetober is my humble attempt at writing romance and is an opportunity to world build before I release "Samaritan's Legacy," which takes place right after this story's end. It is a light romance in which Hember struggles with loneliness brought on by his faith. He is rejected by all he loves and unable to maintain any relationships in his country, Delair, on the planet Orbellus. At the age of 21, he encounters a woman from the city of Nascula in the country of Merigo, and he is captivated by her. That does prevent more issues from arising. In the country of Delair, worshipping the God Hember believes in is unlawful, and he is wrought with confusion, doubt, and fear about what he should do. What he must do, he lacks the will to do it. Although the first part of LoveTober is primarily a romance, the world of Samaritan's Legacy is one that falls into a zombie-like apocalypse. The story will shift slightly to blend into the apocalypse that will come but the main focus will still be the romance.

The Legends Rise by deathpunch13

Eacape...that's all anyone could think about when you're being held hostage. Escape...the one word that means freedom to the captive. Escape...the one word that could set you apart from the living and from the dead. There are bad days...and then there are legendary bad days. **DISCLAIMER!!** The only thing I own is the hard work developing this story for you all to read and my character. Everything else is owned by someone else. Title credit goes to GodSmack Please be respectful to others who comment.

Barely Alive (#JustWriteIt #SuperCharged) by Hunterarlert

Travis, Darcie, Dawson, Tori, Leo, Levi, Kaylie, Hunter, and Anthony have no business knowing each other, let alone being a team. But during a zombie apocalypse, when you get desperate, you're desperate. When you're out of options, you need to do what you need to do to survive every day. Sometimes, it might not always be ideal. But when push comes to shove, when you're barely alive and should be dead, the people who you don't know may just save you. Surviving without enemies is hard enough. But when the past comes back to haunt and enemies come to fight, the apocalypse may just become almost impossible to survive. Brains and brawn may not be enough. It takes heart to make it day to day. They knew it would be hard. They didn't know it would be next to impossible to survive. This is a story my friend and I wrote together. It took us about a year to complete. Comments would be great to see so we know if something needs to be fixed or if it's a good story.

☂︎︎Cocky ☂︎︎ | Five x Female Reader by Miss-Izumi

"𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝙄'𝙢 𝙩𝙤𝙤... 𝙤𝙡𝙙... 𝙣𝙤𝙬..." -𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 ||| Stupid kids hate each other and then fall in love. Sure you've read it in every single damn 'fic on this platform. But then one of them disappears, and the other moves on. But she doesn't. She's beaten, and her child is ripped from her own fingers. Five reappears after nearly 17 years, his charming personality gone, and he demands that the family helps him with his little apocalypse problem. And they ultimately fail. You know how the story goes. They end up in 1963, scattered across Dallas, and bring the apocalypse with them. Five and Y/N start getting comfortable. By the time they're back in 2019, they're fucked up, and craving nothing but peace. The apocalypse says no. But something's different this time. Something is whispering horrors into "Little Number Eight's" dreams. Whatever you do, don't save the world. ||| "𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 17 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪!

At one point I was ranked in the top 4 for "fivexreader", so how bad can it be?

All the stars in the universe couldn't keep us apart, now we have rewritten the stars, you say that the world could be ours. Nothing can keep us apart, all I want is to be with you it isn't impossible, it's possible. You are the one I was meant to find.. My star... My love...
