A pessimist who makes dreams is given dreams of their own. 

☆ Short Story Winner for Saint Vals 2024 Ambassadors Contest ☆

A pessimistic dream operator is bored with controlling the visions of their sleeping subjects. There are only so many times they can watch people suddenly acquire flight capabilities, or be trapped in an endless freefall, before it becomes dull.

When a client requests to deliver an important message through a subject's dreams, the dream operator is intrigued, hoping to see a powerful, legendary being. Instead, they meet a fragile, old woman--a soul from a deceased mortal.

Still, the dream operator has a job to do. And as the old woman enlightens the sleeping subject, the dream operator's eyes are opened as well.

***

The Heartless Void by empiresofwater
13 parts Ongoing
In the distant future, Earth's resources have been plundered and deep-space oil haulers have become the backbone of the solar system's many stations. Henry Starbuck is the first mate onboard such a vessel, the Pequod. He only wants to finish the season and return home to his husband and son. But the captain of the Pequod, Ahab, is a man obsessed with hunting down the vessel which took so much from him. There are legends of his quarry, Moby-Dick: talk from spacefaring astronauts that the ship, shaped like the extinct whales of old, is no longer crewed and is run entirely off a rogue AI programme. Many lives have been lost to it. Starbuck has to confront the terror of space and the awful mania of his captain, all the while dealing with a past which will never leave him alone. He wishes desperately to do what is right. The farthest galaxies are heartless, but no more cruel than the horror that exists inside man. [a sci fi adaptation novella of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick - but no previous knowledge of the book is required] [Updates every Friday from 20/09]
Falling Facades | ONGOING by FoxLock34
6 parts Ongoing
Eileen Montgomery has always played it safe, especially when it comes to love. Crushing on the charming Noah for as long as she can remember, she's convinced that she's too ordinary to ever catch his eye. But when a chance to make Noah notice her comes along, Eileen does the unthinkable-she enlists the help of her brother's best friend, Benjamin. Benjamin is everything she's not: confident, easygoing, and maddeningly good at pushing her buttons. Pretending to date him is supposed to be a simple scheme, but the line between reality and pretense quickly starts to blur. As their staged moments turn into genuine connection, Eileen finds herself questioning if Noah is truly the one she wants-or if she's been looking for love in the wrong places all along. But as the walls around their hearts begin to crumble, Eileen and Benjamin must face a new challenge: what happens when the facade they built starts falling apart, leaving them exposed to feelings they never expected? -- Cover by -DeeIsDead-
