"What is this?" Rose said, staring at a reflection of her own face, only more aged and weathered. 

"Now listen to me carefully. The Earth's fate hangs in the balance." Her future self said, tone grim. "There wasn't anyone else I'd trust my Luyten V with. Use it to fight, defend the world. Or else, everyone is doomed!"

That dire message thrusts Rosemary Brahe into a desperate battle against the Altair, a parasitic monstrosity from the outer reaches of reality. In the far-flung future, they all but destroyed the earth and the rest of humanity. But her future self offers a second chance, an opportunity to make things right. Only Rose and her Luyten V stand any chance to break the chains of this bleak fate. Fight Rose! Fight Luyten V! Gain victory for all our sakes!

•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women.

Wrangling teenage emotions is hard enough on good days, but what if on bad days they could manifest as giant flesh and blood monsters? Pacific Rim meets Friday Night Lights as knee-jerk rebel Sage Sawyer is forced to join her high school "tourneytub" team, the Jupiter Jackalopes. Tourneytub is the muddy opera where "humors," these emotion-fueled monsters, are pacified by jockeys in "tubs," towering robots. (Basically graceful cathedrals wrapped up in sucker punches.) Sage's new teammates are all oddballs. Genesis O'Toole, "Princess Chastity Belt" herself, is a devout Christian. When Sage joins the team though, Genesis wrestles with intense feelings for her. Talia Amphigore, star Jackalope, gets badly injured and benched. She's determined to reclaim her throne, but what if she can't? Who is she without tourneytub? Artie Amphigore, the disabled "Tub Whisperer," may be a brilliant engineer, but he struggles with crippling (haha) self-doubt. When the Jackalopes need him most, will he rise above his doubt? Meanwhile, following Talia's downfall, Peter Donkersmit suddenly finds himself responsible for the manifestation of the team's monsters, birthed from his own emotions. Easier said than done, particularly once Peter begins questioning his identity. Cover Photo courtesy of Andriyko Podilnyk on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/@yirage. Edited.

A Long Path Ahead Of Us by XOXO_LtlSunFlwr
19 parts Ongoing
Never in her wildest dreams, she would have thought that her past trauma would greatly affect her life. Annie... Annie... Those words were like needles to her ears... Like it was a direct call from hell. She couldn't help but break down. Her eyes welled up every time she heard that name. "It's okay." He said. He wanted to make her overcome her trauma, her nightmare. He just wanted to see her being happy and cheerful like she had done... Always. "We have a long path ahead of us." He spoke again. "What path?" Annabella snapped at him. "You're just a mere teenager, aren't you?" The boy's mouth started twitching. "Of course not. Don't underestimate me." "Then tell me... Who are you?" "It's better to know less. The more you know, the more you get into trouble. I don't want that, Big Sister." Ewww... Big sister? Here the story starts... Annabella Zoey Parker was a girl who loved the concept called, 'Single Forever.' She never wanted to get married not because she didn't believe in love or because she got betrayed by her ex-boyfriend. In fact, she didn't even have a boyfriend. It was NOT because she wasn't attractive enough. She was actually a beautiful girl. The thing was, she loved being alone and doing her work peacefully without no one there to meddle in her business. However, her parents especially her mother didn't understand that. She wanted to get her daughter married as soon as possible. "You have to marry soon. You are almost 26. How long do you want to stay single? Until you turn 30s or 40s?!" Annabella took a deep breath before turning towards her mother with a serious face. "Okay, I'll get married." Mrs Parker's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?" She asked with a wide smile on her face. "Yeah, but on one condition. You should wait till next year." Annabella stated. Mrs Parker was confused. "But why?" "Because he's still seventeen. He'll become an adult next year so we can get married right away." Mrs Parker: "..."

Timeless Monarch: Astora

10 parts Ongoing Mature

10,000 years... In 1994, the two Timeless Monarchs came to Earth and changed Humanity forever; now we're 10,000 years in the future. The Monarchs have been gone for 2,000 years. They said we peaked. Unable to live up to their expectations. Humanity has lost their real shepherds, the ones who would guide us into our birthright... A new type of evolution maybe paradise. Without them, humanity has regressed into relatable bad habits, ones born from the weakness in our ancestor's DNA, the same DNA that kept us alive and allowed us to survive. They taught us... Space travel that extends to our entire Galaxy. The ability to touch the algorithm that binds our universe together; Medicine advancements that turn almost every injury into something trivial with drugs and cybernetic implants. Death of not knowing where we fit into the universe, the hierarchy, our place in the cosmos. Even with all that, the story follows Astora Vermillion, a young woman with a Blazing Blade, unruly sarcasm, and a closet full of bulletproof jackets. Astora is trying to navigate a humanity that has learned to become more evil than kind in 10,000 years. In this story, A-stor-a's connection to the Algorithms of the universe will change everything for everyone... even humanities shepherds. Some might say... She's heard this all before...
