The Ariadne, a cutting edge space station on the edge of the universe. Being on the edge of the universe has its risks, and all of the crew know that. When an alien menace peers over the horizon, what can humanity do to fight back? This deep into space, its true that nobody can hear you scream.
This is the compendium of all of the Ariadne space station short stories that I made a few years ago, thanks for checking it out!
*Author's note: I am aware that this story isn't a great work, nor is it my best. The only reason I'm posting the parts before "Ariadne: The Final Stand" is because they are necessary exposition. Thanks for reading this all anyways and feel free to leave criticism or comments.*

No Man Left Behind
An intelligent entity by the name of Unilife captures the attention of an ancient alien race, who must decide whether or not to make first contact with the human race in order to stop this fast-learning, genocidal entity . . . And after encountering the entity themselves, Humanity must decide between fighting Unilife to the bitter end, or fleeing the Milky Way Galaxy altogether. This short story is a precursor to other writings to come. Essentially, I'm using my experience from writing this as a springboard for future planned projects. Sidenote: this project was originally drafted in Google Docs. For some reason, when copying over to Wattpad, Wattpad converts all the em dashes to regular hyphens. Be on the lookout for that, as it completely slaughters the meaning of certain sentences and phrases which use em dashes.

Alien from the past. Mate for the future.
✨ Book 3 from Extraterrestrial Encounter ✨ -*- They always told me I belonged to the sky. Not because I was special or different, but because ever since I was a child, I would spend hours staring at the stars, searching for answers no adult seemed willing to give me. My name is Selen. I'm nineteen years old, and I work as a research assistant in one of the oldest observatories in the colony. I live among star maps, coordinates, and telescopes. But sometimes, when the world falls asleep and I'm left alone beneath the vault of the sky, I feel... something. An invisible gaze, warm and distant. As if the stars weren't the only ones watching me. I don't remember much from when I was a child. Just fragments: a distant roar, strong hands lifting me from the mud... Blue eyes that didn't belong to any human being. They told me I was in danger, and that someone saved me. But no one ever wanted to tell me who. And yet, tonight... as the sky opens above me and the forest whispers ancient words, I have the strange feeling I'm not alone. Maybe this time it will save me and take me to safety. -*- [ I'm still trying to figure out if this is going to be a long story or just a glimpse into how things have settled down in the near future. Maybe you can help me. If you have any idea leave a comment. ]🤔🤷 🔴 As usual beware! This story will be marked as Adult story. Strong language, fighting, blood, death and of course consensual sex scenes and more. 🔴🔞Complete
Ariadne Alternative: 2035

In the Edmonton Impact Zone (EIZ), an outpost known as Ariadne has been built, like other outposts its function is to study the HALs and defend humanity. In the midst of the chaos, can love be found, or will the aliens crush it just like everything else? (The story is still in-progress, I've just been a little busy as of late so think of it as a temporary hiatus maybe? Either way I hope to post again soon, thanks y'all! -TT39)
World Hoppers {book one}
Friends Oliver, Natalie, and Casper are cursed, each day they wake up somewhere new, whether it be a new dimension, planet, world, or maybe even a different city, they never wake up where they went to sleep as long as they fall asleep before curfew. - WIP!! My writing is too terrible (in my opinion) but most of this is written to waste time and was originally a story I wrote on when I had writer's block so uh,, feel free to be like "hey your wrong here boo, sorry" or "you but the like three times bro" bc honestly it's a 3am junk pile. Also: I'm working on ideas for a cover I swear!! Also!! A lot of the videos attached are songs that I was most likely thinking abt (or was reminded of) while I was writing so uh,, ya 10.26.18 edit: this is so cringey I'm so sorryComplete
The Abyss of Time
Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...Complete
