The idiot elders are desperate and have ordered me to lead a mission way too close to the forest surrounding the city. Everyone knows it's a goddamn suicide, some are just better at pretending it isn't. At least I have Astrid with me, but maybe not even she will be enough, especially since we're forced to take two useless civilians that we somehow are supposed to bring back alive. 
I have a feeling this will be a fucking disaster. 
Wanna tag along? 
P.S I hate writing these fucking notes

The Taste of Iron is a supernatural post-apocalyptic adventure where cryptic world-mysteries meet high-octane action and dangerous encounters lurk at every step, tragedy and death hiding in every shadow.

Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince

My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Children of the Elements: Prey to Him by GemmaMay26
26 parts Complete
In the blink of an eye, the shards of glass previously lying at Nathan's feet were surrounding him, inches from his skin. His heart beat jumped at the suddenness, but he refused to move. As he looked back at Will, he no longer found the aggressive teen super-soldier, but an angry, terrified child staring back at him. "No," Will snapped, only just managing to hide the wavering fear in his voice. "If I have to live like this, then so do you." Nathan maintained his calmness, even as the glass edged its way closer to his skin. "Let us get the antidote and all of us can be free." It's been a month since the unlucky four's lives were changed forever. They thought their new plan of retrieving their siblings would be an easy one, until Nathan begins to distance himself, leaving for days and returning battered and bruised, and Ash becomes lost in her own head. An attack, several deaths and a mysterious stranger later, and the four of them are back on the road, following only the word of a boy in a desperate attempt to find some kind of way to save their brothers and sisters. But as the secrets they find on their journey begin to cause tension in the group, it may prove much more difficult to band together than they first expected. All is not what it seems in the second instalment of the Children of the Elements series as Nathan, Ash, Chris and Eva embark on their latest adventure to the hidden Rockfall Bay. * * * Hey guys! So this is the second book in my trilogy and therefore a sequel to the first book, Children of the Elements: Our Beginning. I guess you don't have to have read the first book to understand the storyline, but it kind of helps to know who the characters are and the relationships between them. Copyright © 2013 Gemma May.

I Became the Sub-Villain with Highly Intelligent Triplet Sons (BL)

53 parts Ongoing

Ryu Seo-woo is an award-winning best vocalist who tragically died in a plane crash and transmigrated to a BL novel, "Serenade Me, My Angel" which he read out of boredom. He transmigrated into the body of the sub-villain, who shares his name but is a C-list singer with a ruined voice due to throat damage. Living in a decrepit house with his five-year-old triplet sons (Seo-jun, Seo-min, and Seo-jin) who despise him for years of neglect and abuse, Seo-woo is determined to rewrite their lives. The novel's main couple: the stoic CEO Moon Woo-seok and his innocent, angelic singer Jin Yu-jin are destined for a happy ending. In the original story, Seo-woo's character dies in a fire, leaving his genius triplets to be adopted by the main couple. However, the transmigrated Seo-woo has no intention of dying or letting the original plot play out. Can he win over his sons and forge a new path?
