A cyberpunk story about a lonely girl who gets criticized for just being herself. No one wants to be her friend, so instead of living in the dramatic ghetto place she lives in, she exiles herself to a trash planet to be isolated from society. During her struggles of survival, she gets desperate for a friend. Thanks to her AI engineering skills, she decides to program her own friend.
A Science Fiction, Slice of Life, and Drama story.
Constructive criticism always welcome!
Planned projects for this story after the writing is finished (Though no promises): Replace the pictures that inspired the characters with my own original art, hopefully to become a light novel type thing, replace the cover with my own original art, create music for specific scenes, possibly an audio book with music and effects. Every bit of support helps me through this!
A/N: This story is greatly inspired by my favorite song "Are Friends Electric?" by Gary Numan. Both versions of his song will be shared in the media if you're curious. Otherwise, enjoy the story!

It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.

He was not designed to take care of anyone. She never wanted to be cared for. But when two broken creatures cross paths, a new logic begins to be born: one that is not written in manuals, but in glances, silences and shared coffees. Between screams, forced cleanliness and cigarettes thrown in the trash, something akin to love breaks through, without asking permission. Can a machine teach a human to love itself? And what happens when that machine begins to desire, against all logic, to stay? ⚠️ This story contains explicit language, violence, sensitive topics such as abuse, depression and suicide.

starfriends [solarballs au] (NOT CANON)
(HIATUS) this fanfiction is recommended for the ages 15-17 for it contains mature themes and is graphic in nature. viewer discretion is advised. dude is a loser, he's always felt like he was at the bottom since his childhood. but hey, let's talk about his other aspects shall we? there's something about dude and his love for the vast open space. when he was a child, his curious mind stared at the moon every night. wondering if one has gone there, or if he can too. and it was settled, his dream was to become an astronaut exploring the stars, and beyond! but in order to achieve his dreams he has to work hard for it. and as he prioritized his studies from primary school all the way to graduation, i'll let you imagine what he looks like after sleepless nights of books and assignments. but speaking of graduation, as of now our little dude had just graduated high school. during his highschool days he always dreamed of going to his dream university. and after years of planning, saving up, and a disastrous bus drive on his way to the city, there it was. his highschool dream right in front of him. and little did dude know, that one happy accident will change his perspective in life. this is a solarballs au, a very different one than the norm. it's more of a retell, a what if. what if solarballs was seen through a different lens? a different setting perhaps? if you expect this to be a light hearted story, be warned that this au will contain very heavy topics. i love solarballs as a neurodivergient and this au has already existed since the start of my solarballs hyperfixation. i'm very excited to share the story of this retelling of solarballs to you all! and keep in mind that this is a retell, so some characters and storylines will not be the same as the original. though, i will still try my best to make it atleast similar to the original solarballs version. have fun reading!Complete

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
