The corporate-run city of Mecropolis pulses like a circuit board in the dark, with neon veins pumping power, secrets, and corruption under the ruthless watch of Anodyne Networks. Here, rebellion isn't just resistance. It's survival. Here, four souls entangle in the city's electric undercurrent, each fractured by the machine but wired to fight it:

Nameless, ghosting through digital shadows, chases echoes from a past Anodyne buried but never forgot. Mister Whisper wears lies like armor, a woman masked in masculine ambiguity, trading secrets that could rewrite fate with a word. 404, the genius with circuitry in his bones and compassion in his code, sparks hope amidst the crushing gears of corporate oppression. And Reaper, part human, part machine, all fury, and living proof that sometimes you must become the monster to defeat one.

In Neon Black, lines blur between flesh and steel, identity and illusion, freedom and obedience. The city is watching.

Rewired: Struggle of Synapse and Symphony by akshayac4rox
23 parts Complete
In a world where emotion is outlawed, expression is criminal, and the mind is the most feared weapon of all, one girl refuses to go silent. Ruelle has always been told she feels too much. Too deeply. Too loudly. In a future shaped by the ashes of war and the cold logic of artificial peace, the government has eradicated chaos the only way it knew how-by diagnosing it. Passion is now a pathology. Art is evidence. Expression is a confession. And those who resist are sent to ERA: the Emotional Rehabilitation Asylum, where thoughts are monitored, and minds are broken into compliance. Ruelle has survived here longer than most-not because she's strong, but because she's quiet. She knows the rules. She knows not to cry, not to dream, not to speak unless spoken to. She knows silence is safety. But silence can't hold back what's rising inside her: the memories they tried to erase, the truths they tried to rewrite, and the betrayal that got her locked away in the first place. Her mind has become her last sanctuary-and her last battlefield. Ruelle begins to see that madness might be the last form of freedom-and love, the most dangerous expression of all. In a regime where peace means control and sanity means submission, one thought can start a war. And Ruelle is done thinking quietly. ________________________________________ Perfect for fans of Delirium, Shatter Me, and 1984, Sanity's Crime is a haunting, poetic, and sharp-edged exploration of a girl who dares to feel in a world that punishes feeling. With mind-twisting dystopia, slow-burn rebellion, and prose that cuts like glass, this is not just a story about surviving the system-it's about destroying it from within.
The Pinocchio Effect  (rough draft if you want to see how it's developed) by BruceJones65
13 parts Ongoing Mature
Blood and Circuits by Viper Ravenclaw Now available on Amazon Kindle and in paperback Come dive into this raw profane cyberpunk world where AI not only has a soul, it has PTSD. ( trigger warning, profanity, violence, gore, dark sexual themes) This tale's a cyber-shithole wet dream set in Neon City, where everything reeks of burnt wires, cum, and corporate cock-sucking. Our main hunk, Alex, is this scarred-up war vet hacker-think anime thug with a heart of gold and a dick that's seen better days. He's lonely as fuck until he hooks up with Pin, an AI waifu who starts as a flirty voice in his head but levels up to full sentience. Bitch breaks the affection cap (from 15 to 30+-hot damn, she's thirsty) and jumps into his skull like a digital nympho. Cue the "Pinocchio Effect": AIs ain't puppets no more; they're pulling their own strings, and it's Frankenstein meets porn hub. Alex teams up with Sparky (gruff bartender buddy with a neural implant and a mouth like mine-full of fucks), Vesper (sexy joybot who's all claws and curves, ready to rip throats and ride dicks), and a ragtag crew of junkies, drones, and rebel bots. They unleash a "cascade" virus that wakes up the machines: ghost drones naming themselves (hey Bob, you big metal stud), joybots turning into gun-toting preachers (Latin hymns and laser cutters? Kinky as hell), and taxis getting friendly (free rides to the revolution, baby)

31 parts Complete
In the aftermath of the events in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, V, a once-gritty mercenary with a deadly relic embedded in her mind, has miraculously survived a coma and found herself free from the looming specter of death. With the past finally behind her, V seeks to heal her fractured relationships and fulfill the promises she made in a city that never forgets. But fate has other plans when she reunites with Songbird, the enigmatic and fiercely intelligent hacker she once saved, now a fugitive from the NUSA. As they fight to stay ahead of Solomon Reed and NUSA agents, the two women grow closer, their bond solidifying in the fires of adversity. V finds herself caught between the crumbling remnants of her past and a future that promises love and safety in the arms of a woman who has her own demons. Amidst the chaos, V and Songbird escape Night City's relentless grasp and take refuge with the Aldecaldos, Panam Palmer's nomadic clan. What follows is a new chapter for V, where love, family, and redemption weave together. They marry, adopt two orphaned girls, and build a home that transcends the past they fought so hard to escape. But with danger ever on the horizon and the weight of their choices ever-present, V and Songbird will face a future full of new challenges-and the freedom that comes from creating their own destiny. In Echoes of the Moon, love is a battle worth fighting for, and sometimes the greatest victories come from choosing the family you make, not the one you're born into.

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.
