In the aftermath of a nuclear war, survivors in North America forged a desperate existence. To shield themselves from lingering radiation, they constructed towering dome cities. Decades later, sixteen-year-old Asher Metaxus resides within the confines of New Niagara.

Though expected to contribute to the workforce, this prospect proves challenging for him and his friends, Zenith and Cail. They instead find themselves forced to engage in 'scavenging,' an illicit practice involving the retrieval and sale of artifacts and information abandoned in the 'Between'-the perilous expanse between domes.

The hazards of radioactivity may be the least of Asher's concerns. He faces the ever-present threat of detection by zoners, the relentless dome guards, who will parade his dead body for all to see if they can find him. But how can they find him when his most recent foray leads to a clandestine experimental lab? How can they find him when he's propelled into an alternate timeline, a twist of fate that will redefine his relationships, reshape his purpose, and possibly unravel his understanding of reality?

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

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.

Resurrection of the Fallout - WLW by CharleyRaeWolfe

Short Preview: Her breath hitched as she looked up, her gaze finding Remi's face in the candlelight. The soft glow brushed against her cheekbones and lines of her scars. Nova's heart clenched, her throat tight as realization washed over her. Nova didn't see Remi as something small or distant. No, Remi felt infinite. Endless. She wasn't the moon in the sky. Or the stars. Remi was the whole damn galaxy. . . . In 2074, a catastrophic A.I. failure shattered the world. Cities crumbled, nations vanished, and what remained of the United States retreated beneath a single fortified Dome-humanity's last sanctuary. By 2242, life inside the Dome is rigid, monitored, and suffocating. Beyond its walls lies a mutated wasteland where nothing survives for long. Each year, twenty-five citizens are chosen and sent outside. None have ever returned. But this year, the Dome's perfect lies begin to crack. The Chosen are about to uncover a world far more dangerous-and far more alive-than they were ever allowed to believe. Out there, truth is poison, loyalty breaks easily, and love can become the most lethal weapon of all. Because once you step beyond the Dome, survival isn't guaranteed. And neither is who you become. . . . (This story contains a wlw/gxg/lesbian love story. It is a slow burn, but I promise that it's epic!) #1 under #wasteland 10/17/25

Snow by jule009

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING] by _silverlining_98

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

When the Sun Begins to Die by Thatonefnaflover

Seventeen year old Cadence Buds is a normal teenager in a dying world. Well, the world isn't dying, but the sun is. It has been dying for several years now, but the effects are finally starting to come about. The sun has even been changing color. The government has been working on a plan to save a portion of the human population for quite some time. There are so many problems with the sun dying. The oceans will evaporate from the inevitable explosion, everything will be dark and nothing will be able to grow, the world will freeze over, everything will be destroyed. The sun is also giving off toxic radiation while it dies, making the world especially dangerous. The government's solution to this problem is to build a radiation proof dome over a large area. There will be synthetic heat, light, and seasons. The cost to enter such an oasis is very expensive. It is hundreds of thousands of dollars per ticket. However, there is another way to get in. Once the sun dies many will die with it. It might even vaporize part of the planet in its blast. No one knows for sure. But the world will need a larger population. You can earn your place in the dome if you agree to have a child to save the human race. This obviously only applies to women. Now remember Cadence? He is biologically female. He has been on testosterone for two years and is trying to transition in this world. Unfortunately that is horribly expensive where he lives. His family however is more focused on saving their lives from the dying sun. His parents had just enough money to afford his sister a ticket. She could not have children because she was barren. Cadence however could have children if he wished, but he didn't. Having a child meant undoing all of his hard work. He is told that in order to survive that he must have a child within the next two years. Two years is a long time, but he never wanted to have children. What will Cadence do once his two years have come to an end?

"Echoes Across Time" Life is Strange x Star Trek: The Next Generation Crossover by Chris9417

When Max Caulfield makes the ultimate sacrifice to save Arcadia Bay, she never imagines that her act of courage will propel her far beyond the world she knows. Pulled through space and time by the omnipotent and flamboyant Q, Max awakens aboard the USS Enterprise-D in the 24th century, a stranger in a universe of stars, advanced technology, and moral dilemmas far beyond her imagination. As Max struggles to understand her place among Starfleet officers-while contending with her erratic time-rewinding powers-she discovers that her decisions carry consequences far larger than she could have imagined. From temporal anomalies on the planet Kaelara to ethical tests orchestrated by Q himself, Max must confront her fears, her guilt over Chloe Price, and the weight of choice itself. Guided by Captain Picard, Counselor Troi, Data, and the crew of the Enterprise, Max evolves from a guilt-ridden teenager into a courageous, morally grounded young woman, learning that heroism is defined not by extraordinary powers but by integrity, empathy, and the willingness to act in the face of uncertainty. Meanwhile, back in Arcadia Bay, Chloe grapples with Max's absence, confronting grief and longing while finding strength to carve her own path. Though separated by time and space, their bond endures, a testament to friendship, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit. In a story that spans universes, Echoes Across Time explores the consequences of choice, the trials of growth, and the enduring connections that can transcend worlds, timelines, and even the reach of omnipotent beings.
