Rust
In the heart of a war-torn Jerusalem, Staff Sergeant Layla Hawke and her loyal Belgian Malinois, Riley, are thrust into a mission that seems simple-find and eliminate the leader of the newly-formed terrorist group Al-Masbah. As tensions rise in the city, Layla and her squad work alongside the local police to restore order amidst the chaos. But beneath the surface of this fractured society, something far more dangerous lurks. Unbeknownst to them, a rogue Yautja has arrived, drawn to the city's conflict by the promise of a thrilling hunt. Watching from the shadows, this extraterrestrial predator sees Layla, a fierce and capable woman, as the perfect prey. But as the hunt intensifies, the lines between predator and prey begin to blur, sparking an unlikely connection that defies the laws of war-and the universe itself. Amid gunfire and political intrigue, Layla must navigate not only the dangers of the city but also the complex relationships with those around her, including the enigmatic Yautja. With Al-Masbah manipulating the fragile peace and outsiders questioning the U.S. involvement, Layla's struggle is more than just survival-it's a fight for the future of a world caught between alien forces, political agendas, and the fractured humanity caught in between. Romance ignites unexpectedly, as alliances are formed and tested, and enemies become lovers under the most unlikely of circumstances. A high-stakes, action-packed story of survival, political commentary, and alien intrigue, this tale delves into the brutal realities of war, the cost of peace, and the bonds that form in the most hostile of environments.
Satellite
[Tsundere x Reader] One second she was just a simple nurse, tending to her patients and doing her job. Just another Tuesday as she would say. Then the next she dies and wakes up to drug-addicted, violent, and bloodthirsty people (if she can even call them people) attacking her fellow colleagues and anyone who wasn't infected by a strange drug called TAP. (Y/N) gets unwillingly connected to the horrid and mishandled experiments of the large pharmaceutical company known as Satellite and is forced to put up with the rude and immature Drake Blackwell who becomes her bodyguard. She becomes an asset to the company and potentially the answer for all of the harm that Satellite has created. And all it took was a bullet to the head. #1 in scifihorror 9/3/2023 #1 in tsunderxreader 9/24/2023 - I don't own cover art - Minor grammatical errors - Mature Audiences Started: August 2, 2023 Ended: October 29, 2023Complete
STAR SOULDIER: Doctor Preventor
Dr. Zoey Ek was a top secret operative-in-training for the enigmatic Council Supreme of the Watchers, tasked with overseeing humanity's evolutionary tendency. Her mission was clear: observe, but never interfere. Unbeknownst to her, however, she was tested to ascertain her qualification status in carrying out this mission -- a test she failed. For in the line of her duty, an incident turned "accidentally" deadly. And Zoey made a fateful choice -- breaking protocol to save the life of an innocent, would-have-been-dead child. What she believed was an act of compassion was deemed a insubordination by the Watchers, a grave "sin" that disqualified her from her primary mission. As punishment, she was relegated to the ranks of the Preventors, a penitent role reserved for operatives who failed the Watchers' stringent tests. Now, Zoey has one chance at redemption: save the lives of 1,000 individuals targeted for sudden, inexplicable death across the globe -- all within 24 hours! Success will restore her honor and her place among the elite. Failure means an eternity as a Preventor, a shadow of her former self, forever haunted by the lives she could not save. Armed with extraordinary powers but racing against an impossible clock, Zoey must confront not only external forces but also the weight of her singular decision to save that child's life. Will she rise to the challenge, or will the burden of 1,000 lives prove too much, even for a superhuman?Complete
