Martha started with nothing-alone, underestimated, and driven by a fierce determination to survive. But in a galaxy ruled by those who wield power over whole solar systems, she saw an opportunity. Through cunning, ambition, and a willingness to take risks no one else would, Martha transforms herself from an outcast to the most powerful figure in the Galaxy. As she builds an empire that spans the stars, Martha faces enemies both seen and unseen, and learns that the true challenge isn't just gaining control-it's keeping it.

Planatae by doodooferguson
43 parts Complete
In the empty, cold expanse of the Home Galaxy, life needs a cradle, a planet to spark it into existence. Given the right conditions, it can become something incredible - something self aware. And when that happens, the planet that helped it along might just take notice... Planatae are mysterious, sentient planets that are sustained by the collective consciousness of the people who inhabit it. In exchange for the chance to think and feel, these planets bestow upon their inhabitants a Factor - a particular ability that aids adaptation in a specific environment. Ricardia Yigera is on the run; more willing to carve out a life in the darkness of Onyx Station then return to the comfort of home for a terrible crime she's committed. Trapped by her guilty conscious, she's unsure of what to do - and how to make amends. Jasper Drift thought he'd finally found tranquility, hidden away in paradise - until his military past comes back to catch him - and the extremly valuable asset he's been keeping hidden for years. Lukas Adamas is the son of one of space's most prestigious scientists, a woman hell-bent on unlocking the secrets of the Planatae. Ambitious and determined, Lukas wants to follow in her footsteps. But when his mother hears a rumor, one that has the potential to change everything they understand about the Planatae, Lukas is dragged along into a web of conspiracy and responcibility he may not have been fully prepared for. Amidst clashing galactic empires and the enigmatic workings of the Planetae, these three will find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that none of them asked for.

[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me. At once, our tensions release. ─── ·𖥸· ─── One half of her heart belongs to the man from the stars. The other belongs to the man of smoke and ash.
