When Eris finally wakes, she doesn't have any memories of her past. She can't even recall her own name. Not to mention, there's something particularly strange about the two men that woke her... Will she regain her memories? What happened on that ship? Caspian Fowler is Eris' "boyfriend" before the ship was infiltrated. He must navigate how to interact with his now ex-girlfriend and silently hope she'll fall in love with him all over again. Or was she ever in love with him in the first place?

Time flies by when you're sleeping by DarkValkyrie6

A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap. This story is a result of that thought. I didn't use any movies or series for inspiration, the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain thinking about what that character would do and telling me what to write. I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

The Ring of Acies by SamScheufler

Thousands of years into the future, humanity reaches for the stars. Hundred of worlds in the milky way galaxy have been colonized and are now inhabited by humans. Massive atmosphere processors are built on the surface changing the composition of the planet's air to better suit humans. Atmosphere processing is a delicate process that takes generations to complete. While the planet is being terraformed, the future population of the colony lives on a massive ring station built around the planet. On the far edge of the galaxy lies Acies, the most recent colony project of the powerful Eftai corporation. Terrine Zafas was born and raised on Initium Station, which surrounds Acies, and has lived there her whole life. When the engineering firm where she works is tasked with a vague and unusual assignment, Terrine is suspicious about the goals and motives of Initium's planetary operations organization. Her suspicions are only heightened when a strange alien creature with bizarre abilities appears on the station.
