The world had known conflict, but nothing like this. Earth was a wounded animal, bleeding out, and the predators had finally come. The first whispers of invasion were ignored. High-level agencies found no traces, no warnings. But two people knew. Two people saw what others refused to believe.
One was a scientist, buried in her work, dismissed as a lunatic. The other-a man who wasted his talents on trivial things-was a strategist by nature. A leader born from shadows, a mind that could see five moves ahead where others saw only chaos.

Overlap
I have a secret that I don't share with most. I've been swept up into something bigger than anything I could ever imagine, and now I'm involved with more than just this one world. Our universe is bigger and more amazing than anyone realizes. Reality is merely subjective; we judge it based on what we experience and perceive, even when others do not share the same experiences. When my life turned upside down, I wasn't trying to fall in love; I wasn't trying to get too involved. When my senses all became shared with somebody else, I learned too much to turn away from it all. Her world, so near yet so far away, is something I can experience through her, our senses combined together, our realities overlapped between two places. It's there when my story started. This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. The things that happened to me over all these years would have messed with most people's heads. I put up with all of it, because I couldn't hold back how I felt for her. Little did I know that love comes with a price. As amazing as it is to hear about someone finding their soulmate, it's something that can just as easily tear a person limb to limb, leaving nothing behind but dust. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. My abilities never made any of this easier.Complete
Ashes To Authority
At just fifteen, Elio Deren was cast onto the streets, blamed for a crime she didn't commit-the murder of her own sister. The real culprit? Her younger brother. Betrayed and abandoned, Elio's life spiraled into darkness after a destined encounter left her scarred forever. Forced to survive at any cost, she lost touch with her humanity, becoming a person that would do anything to survive in this hell filled world. Five years later, she decided to take a leap of faith. YUI-an organization built from the ground up-was meant to be a haven for misfits like her. But it became something far greater. It birthed the Identity Changer, the most revolutionary device in existence. With it, Elio erased herself and stepped into a new life, disguising herself as a man, determined to leave her past behind completely. But the past doesn't let go so easily. When an unexpected figure from her history resurfaces, Elio's carefully crafted illusion begins to crack. With enemies closing in and secrets unraveling, she must ask herself: Can she outplay the game of deception, or will her mask slip-exposing the truth she's fought so hard to bury?
Earthonia Immortal Love
E28 held the entire world within his orange ethereal glowing hands. To most people, being twenty-four years old for all eternity, sounds like a pretty sweet deal. No elderly body aches, your sex drive remains on 100%, and you'll forever be in the prime of your life. Well, in their quest for scientific breakthroughs, our brilliant, overachieving ancestors unknowingly rewrote the entire genetic playbook for our bloodline-long before I was even conceived. By running experiments on themselves, they inadvertently spliced and hardcoded their DNA with something not even they fully understood. The result? Earl Williams the 28th. Born with a delightful grab bag of 5th-dimensional (5D) abilities, including, but not limited to, immortality. And I know what you're thinking. 'Wow! Immortality? That's incredible!' Well, let's see if you feel the same way after falling in love with your soulmate, watching them grow old and die, while you just keep on, existing. Turns out, eternal youth isn't all it's cracked up to be. In fact, it can be less of a gift, and more of a life sentence. Just after Earl's 400th birthday he discovered his 5th dimensional abilities could take him pretty far; literally. As in intergalactic travel. Over time he met other interdimensional beings. Such as Draco, a powerful 4D being who motioned for the ICU to immediately annihilate all of humanity, in order to give Earth time to rebuild its natural resources. Initially, the Intergalactic Chamber of the Universe granted Draco permission to follow through with his murderous plan. However, Earl stepped in and pleaded for humanity's relocation instead of their annihilation. You see Earl himself was earth born. Only as a teenager, did he discover his 5D abilities. He saw the progress humanity had been making. He knew they had learned from their past environmental failures. In his opinion, the people of Earth didn't have to die. All they needed was a new start on a different planet.Complete
The Light That Shines From Above
Heather has lived her entire life believing her mother is crazy. She doesn't believe the stories that were told to her as a child, the stories about men descending from the sky to take her. She rejects the false narratives and tries to help her mother the best she can even if that means constantly moving and preparing for the men to come back. She doesn't envision a life beyond this, never expected to leave her mother until she is forced to in the most unexpected way. When the men from the sky take her instead. *** It was a short debate but enough to push me over the edge. Pher was right. I was making this too difficult. I should just do it. I had been fighting myself on this for too long. I didn't care what he was, I wanted this. I stared at his lips as he spoke, my own tingling in response. "I could show you that if you wanted. Most of the other things you can do are outside of the esta-" I pushed up on my toes and crashed my mouth to his. My actions were unexpected and rushed. I could tell by his reaction. He reared back but not enough to separate us. His hand flashing to my arm to still us and then he froze. I thought for a second, based on his lack of response, I had picked the wrong time. Or maybe he had changed his mind from two days ago. I went to pull away, flushing lightly with embarrassment. I didn't get to disconnect our lips before he unfroze and reacted. His grip tightened, his other one going to my hair to hold my head in place as he kissed me back with more intent than I even had started with. My body flushed for a different reason now.Complete

Bluejays
Once upon a time, five people agreed to be part of a secret experiment. The experiment was meant to give them superpowers. They were promised that their loved ones would not be affected by the experiment, no matter what the outcome was. This was good, as the experiment failed--or so they thought. For one, it was her first child. For another, his second-born. For a third, her third. For the fourth, her fourth, and for the fifth, his first. They were all born with strange powers--powers that nobody could explain, and that put everybody around them in danger. Taken from their parents, the children were raised apart from society. They served a particular purpose. Nothing would go wrong. Until something does... or a lot of somethings.Complete
The Legacy of Lazarus: Awakening
Dr. Fanning was a pioneer in the study of Human Evolution whose groundbreaking research was already changing the world. She was part of the first group to identify the source of Evos, humans possessing extraordinary abilities that surpassed anything seen in their ordinary counterparts. Her research was about to reveal the origin of these powers, a discovery that could redefine humanity. But she never got the chance. Her disappearance, sudden and violent, sent shockwaves through a world already on the brink. Tensions between the so-called "monkeys", ordinary humans, and the "freaks," as the Evos were derisively labeled, erupted into open conflict. Riots filled the streets. Divisions deepened. And in the chaos, Dr. Fanning's murder became a spark that ignited an inferno of hate and fear. Amid the turmoil lies a hidden truth, a web of deception, manipulation, and ambition that intertwines with the emergence of powers unlike anything humanity has ever seen. The future of evolution hangs in the balance. And at the heart of it all is a mystery that could reshape everything: The Legacy of Lazarus.
