In a post-apocalyptic world, a small young group of survivors must live together in an abandoned school. A deadly virus that changes flesh and metal into a terrible rusted force of destruction has driven all humans and animals into fearful hiding. All non-plant life struggles to survive the now rusted world.

As chaos reigns, floral nature emerges as a formidable adversary against the relentless rust. The survivors stand at a crossroads: intervene and aid the plants, or leave their destiny to the forces of nature.

Meet Andropov, the fearless leader, Ouiki, the enigmatic albino, and their loyal friends. Their destiny unfolds in a fight for life.

Locus: The Age of Spring by page_mars
20 parts Ongoing Mature
All of their choices make a rebellion go wrong. What happens when sleep-deprived and hung-over rebels with relationship drama are tasked with ransacking and burning down a building? A lot of awkwardness, irritation, and trust issues. Miles is a co-leader in the rebel group, Spring, and he has a lot he needs to get off his chest, but the timing couldn't be worse. He's in a bind with Emi that only he can get himself out of. Also, this mission which had been planned without him, is unlike any other. Miles has questions, but with Emi treating him the way she is, he may not get answers. Pablo didn't want to get up today. In fact, he'd rather not get up at all. Today was the day his best friend, Miles would reveal his idiocy, but the way Emi and the Vocate are acting leaves a bad taste in Pablo's mouth, and some very real concerns. An unstable girl with only a backpack seeks sanctuary in the city of Zafran. Dangerous territory that could see her arrested or killed. She just has to make it before the Supremacy spots her, or before the sun rises. If anyone finds out what she is carrying, it could be the end of everything. Spring's attack on an airport leaves more than a fire. It allows the Supremacy to get exactly what it wants. The lives of those in Zafran will be changed forever. Get to know these characters by their thoughts and actions, and how they navigate the world. Their paths converge and join with a Supremacy officer, a rebel from Twin Blades, a charming Vocate, and a volunteer fire fighter. This is the story of Spring.

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues.

In The End

28 parts Complete

Hundreds of years after the fall of advanced civilization, survivors struggle with everyday life. Tormented by loss, a young man abandons the fragile comfort of what little remains, drawn by a desperate hope and an enigmatic guide. His journey leads him to a hidden realm of ancient beings, who offer a harrowing rebirth - a communion with something primeval that reshapes flesh and spirit. But this agonizing awakening coincides with a horrifying truth: the desolate world outside is undergoing its own monstrous transformation. Predators, once familiar, now hunt with unnatural savagery, their eyes burning with a malevolent intelligence. Here, survival is not a promise, but a terrifying metamorphosis, a plunge into an escalating nightmare where the line between humanity and what lurks in the shadows blurs, and the cost of living might be a fate far worse than death.
