In the foreseeable future, America has legalized a new simulating machine called S.T.E.A.M, which allows users to play out any fantasy their minds have conjured up, whether it is something legal, or as is most often the case, something illegal. This story chronicles different ordinary characters and their vices, in a country where their most carnal desires can be met at the flick of a switch. One man uses the machine to murder his wife daily; a sickly alcoholic uses the limitless capabilities of S.T.E.A.M. to quench his insatiable thirst for liquor; a young obese girl uses the machine to pretend she is beautiful amongst her high-school peers, and so on…
    "Love, American Style" delves deep into some of the hardest questions we must all ask ourselves: How evil would you become if you had your country's approval? Where would you draw the line? Would there be a line at all?All Rights Reserved

Mankinds last Silhouette by Violet_Sunrise_098

Empire. At the end only Empire remains. No matter how many times you rebel Empire remains. No matter how many times you fight for your democratic Empire remains. Now bend for your emperorr. Welcome readers to my fantasy world. I have brought you something beyond the constraints of my imagination, and I wonder if many are ready for it; however, a good story must be told, and I am fortunate to be the one to tell it. Imagine a world where the vile nature of mankind creeps its ugly head as humanity faces its first and last major catastrophe. The world plunged into everlasting darkness, entrenched in chaos and disorder, where hope is a distant flitting memory. The story I propose to my fellow readers follows Anthony Verdun, who was only a boy when all he knew was taken from him in an instant. Like many others, on that day, those who survived lost a part of themselves, forever scarred by the family, friends, and loved ones they lost. Their lives changed forever; how could it not? I welcome you to join the world I have created, indulge in this hypothetical, and dive into this what-if. What that is, well, you would have to read to find out. Weekly chapter uploads, so stay vigilant. Here is the link to the community discord, where we can discuss the book further.

Chances Of Truth ☑️ by zZohana3

"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................

Reboot by MarCafeWrites

The Love Revolution by Dani43008

Years ago there was a blackout. One day all the lights went out. The cars stopped running. Electricity no longer existed. Nothing that ran on electricity works anymore. People panicked and tried to survive for as long as they could. Some made it out of cities the others stayed. Our government fell and militias took control. The Monroe militia took over. Then one day he found electricity again. He used it for bad and soon conquered the whole world. Years later our world now runs on electricity again. The Monroe militia is still in power and they force teens to go into an academy to train as merciless killers. This is where I go. One question I always have in mind is, In a world where hope is the only thing we have, Can love exist in the middle of all this war?

A BLEND OF GENRES by Shreya_VA

Mentioned by @IndiaCentral, an official profile of Wattpad. For the story LOVE... #62 in Fantasy 1.HIS CURSED EXISTENCE (Do you believe in guardian angel ? What if you had a guardian demon instead?) 2. APOCALYPSE (When MACHINES are the masters) 3. WEIRD (A love virus is spreading in the air this valentine's day. What happens?) 4. LOVE (My impression of love) 5.THE STOLEN KISS (The prince kisses the princess. What happens next?) 6. SPY (Could you make the ultimate sacrifice for your motherland ? You are a spy...) I won't rate my story mature as it has nothing that any one doesn't need to know. I tried to be subtle about it and I believe there is no graphic violence and stuff.... But notify me readers if you find any.

Altered: Win and Team by cLaRaya0

"I wanted to remind him of the night we cleared things out. He has all the right to fear especially that we're deviating from the norm. But what is really considered normal? Men before us were in this kind of relationship already. The Romans knew about it. What changed that made our situation different from before? Society has a way of being funny. Evolution has a play in this part. Homosapiens eliminated their previous counterparts in fear of extinction. Not knowing that they were the product of the latter. I wondered who spread this way of thinking about same sex relationships. I'm not quiet sure it was religion. Could it be the opposite sex? In fear that reproduction can be halted? Or could it be a propaganda by a corporation who feared that there would be fewer consumers of their product due to our preferences. We can only wonder." -Phawin We know Dean and Pharm had made a promise to live together after both graduates and get married in New York. We know Del and Alex, as well as, Manaow and Pruk got together. But how about Win and Team? What will become of them after? What's their plan? What does the future have in store? Do they have a plan or would they keep on just whinging it. Ever wondered what happened between them? Between us? Let's try and look into the possibilities.. How do you move on? Are you able? Where you able? If you don't want to get hurt, If you don't want to ruin yourself, Even a little further.. Please move on. But if you dare and wanted to know, Then continue. But, remember - I warned you. If you ship Win and Team and waiting for Between Us The Series to come out and Hemp Rope to finish, you may try and take a chance on this alternative universe. Chapters with *bunny ears* are my chapter babies that contains 'easter eggs'. 😉 Leave a star for your favorite chapter and leave some comments that we can gossip about. 🌟 ❤️ Credits to the original owner of the characters.
