In the debris of a broken city, what retains its gleam when memories become the only polished fragments?

Fifteen-year-old Lily aspires to attain a higher status in a society dictated by the smudged patterns of "Wogy-Wdy's" beauty products. The promise of social acceptance becomes a beacon in the midst of her profound loneliness, a void left by her departed family, and a video tape that falls short of comforting her solitude.

As she navigates the complex stations of this society, Lily finds herself questioning the true cost of her pursuit, prompting a reevaluation of her deepest desires. What compromises will she make to bridge the gap between societal expectations and her quest for connection?

As the city's secrets unravel, Lily's journey unfolds into a tapestry of resilience, friendship, and the indomitable spirit that refuses to be smudged by the illusions of a society clinging to fragments of a lost world.

I will be uploading a new chapter every Wednesday!

They Made Us Monsters by Niyah7212
38 parts Complete Mature
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.
A Series of Embarrassing Monsters: The Misadventures of Evangeline by Galactica_Writes
26 parts Ongoing
Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline is being raised in a trailer park by a scruffy cat who smells like burnt toast, and the wind-up chambermaid (with key and torsion spring built-in) who found her in a laundry hamper. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Her dreams of becoming a writer got quashed in infancy, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from Miskomin, the cheeky liar who lives a few doors down. As Evangeline's adolescence unfolds, the appearance of an unexpected competitor erodes her burgeoning self-confidence, and a predatory artistic director attempts to rewrite her entire world. Her desperate reactions to these influences and her subsequent return to storytelling bring her inner demons to life. Literally. Eager to master herself, Evangeline tackles a series of monsters, operates a murderous sewing machine, and befriends a sentient doll. Her misadventures help unearth latent abilities and force her relationship with neighbour and frenemy, Miskomin, to undergo a surprising evolution. As her creative journey unfolds, Evangeline gains the understanding and experience she needs to face the final boss: Herself. Will she learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is? *I'm writing this novel as I go. This is a rough draft. I update every Friday evening Eastern Time. **Note regarding chapter images: AI is devastating the environment. Instead of continuing to use it to generate chapter images, I thought it would be fun to instead post non-ai images created by fans and digital artists eager to promote their work.

Wrong. Lin holds a deep secret, something only she's capable of handling. It takes her into the world of dangerous fantasy, right out of a game as Lin would say...
