When you think of human interactions with nature, is it one of conquest or cooperation?

The Woman has no name and no voice, yet she discovers that she possesses a power never before seen by anyone in her small community. She simply wants to live her life, but when a powerful spirit threatens her tribe and her home, she cannot sit around waiting to be rescued. The Woman grapples with towering questions as she carves a place for herself in the world. What defines the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world?

At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_

The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

She is also the first one to say no to him. The first to have eaten from the tree of knowledge and evil.

Her brother Seth saved her in extremis from death so she could reach out to Lilith. Only she-the first woman-could protect Norea from the Archons. And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned when they both teamed up to take down Yaldabaoth. *** CW: Loosely inspired by the Bible's views by the Gnostics, this story is in no way intended to offend anyone's religious beliefs. It is also a reimagining that is written with themes suitable for a mature audience. See foreword for detailed trigger warning.

Snow Mountain by greydaygirl

Jalintu, as her giant savior names her, has known nothing but cruelty. So when she is rescued by a beast of a man she is surprised by his gentleness, patience, and lack of ulterior motives. Eventually coming to trust 'Fyar', as she names him for the feathers woven in his hair, she discovers the true reason why he is trapped on his mountain. Will she be able to help Fyar as he helped her? Or are some animals more comfortable living in their cages?

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

Bonds of Beast by T1g3r9

Trapped in a world ruled by primal instincts and unyielding survival, Innana, a fragile human woman, finds herself thrust into the untamed domain of beastmen-powerful, animalistic beings who dominate the remnants of a post-cataclysmic Earth. Innana's humanity makes her both a vulnerability and a rare treasure in this savage world. Her presence begins to unravel bonds of loyalty, jealousy, and unexpected devotion among the beastmen she encounters. The wild itself seems to test her resolve, revealing the depths of her resilience and forcing her to confront the possibility that her value lies not in her beauty, but in her strength of spirit. But the beast world is not kind, and Innana quickly learns that her survival may depend on forming connections with those who view her as more than prey or prize. As alliances form and rivalries simmer, Innana becomes the unwitting heart of a growing circle of protectors-each bound to her by instinct, admiration, or something far deeper. Bonds of Beast explores the fragile line between survival and surrender, the complexities of loyalty, and the untamed bonds that form when worlds collide. In a land where dominance rules and instincts reign, Innana's journey is not just about staying alive-it's about discovering her place in a world where even beasts can love.
