It was just cardboard. Just junk. Just a wild dream taped together in a backyard garage... until it wasn't.
Ray and his two best friends were building the world's greatest rocket out of scrap metal, old crates, and sheer imagination. It was supposed to be a game-something to fill their last day of summer. But when Ray climbs inside and presses a glowing blue stone into the dashboard, everything changes.
The rocket launches. The cardboard becomes metal. The cockpit becomes real. And a voice-Luna-tells Ray he's not just flying to the moon... he's been chosen for something much bigger.
Now, trapped inside a ship that keeps growing by the minute, with an AI that's too smart for its own good, Ray is headed to meet the mysterious "Maker." But the deeper into space he travels, the more he realizes: this rocket wasn't built for pretend.
It was built for a purpose.
A purpose he never asked for.

The Joy Thief
Willa stayed in her bed when a spaceship landed near her home and the interstellar invaders she calls Ironhides abducted children from her neighborhood--her sister among them. Now, along with her best friend, Isaiah, Willa will risk a journey to the Earth colony on the planet Nexpernon to bring her sister home. He has no name, only a rank, Fifth. He's been kept in the dark about most details of his mission. But a few directives hum in his mind: take all essence of joy the humans have in them, and then leave them where they fall. His job is to protect his Commander, and to ensure the portal his kind uses to get to Earth remains a secret forever. Thrown together in a vehement, unfamiliar situation, Willa and Fifth should hate and fear each other. But when Willa kills his Commander and Fifth deserts his unit, their survival depends on trusting one another. And their ability to work together might be the only hope to restore joy to all of humanity.Complete
Trust No One

Buried beneath a ruined city called Haven, Clara Taylor and a group of strangers find themselves trapped in a high-tech facility built by someone-or something-not entirely human.

As they race to uncover the truth about who they are and why they were chosen, Clara begins to unlock memories that don't belong to her-and a voice in the system calling her "Progenitor." Because Haven isn't just a sanctuary. It's a test. A weapon. A cage. And time is running out. Welcome to the future. Where survival isn't enough... you must remember who to trust.Complete
Moon Bunny
In a universe where science and myth blur, Taehyung, a socially awkward yet brilliant scientist, spends his life studying the secrets of the moon. When the search for truth takes an unexpected course, however, thanks to an old myth about celestial bunnies, he becomes intrigued by Jungkook-an enigmatic, fiery-tongued moon bunny masquerading as a human being. The distinction between reason and the unexplainable starts to get fuzzy overnight. Jungkook, kinda sarcastic and arrogant, is not the fragile being Taehyung anticipates. Under the cocky façade and troublesome nature is someone who's seen the universe and has secrets beyond the imagination of Taehyung. As their lives come to be involved with each other in ways they cannot escape, the stoic scientist cannot help but be captivated by Jungkook's disorderly appeal. But Jungkook's life on Earth is not purposeless, and his eerie red eyes speak of magic and strange light. And as their relationship intensifies, Taehyung has to sail the unknown seas of love-one that pushes the limits of his reality-and face the dread of losing someone who was never his to possess. or was he? "What the hell is that!" "Why don't you go find out, darling?"Complete
The Disaster Hollow
Updates every MONDAY AND THURSDAY before 3:00 PM UTC +7 Luna has spent her whole life trying to stay invisible. That ends the moment a loud, overly confident stranger drags her into the world of Quanta-the dangerous current running through human veins. Now forced to attend Elkington Academy, a secret school that trains Quanta users, Luna is dumped into Pine Hollow, the dorm notorious for explosions, property damage, and students who treat danger like a group hobby. Worst of all, she's paired with Trey Lancaster, a reckless, infuriatingly charming powerhouse who insists he's her mentor despite being barely supervised himself. Their "simple" assignments escalate into collapsing barns, airborne bandits, illegal guild missions, and enough chaos to make a sane person run. But the deeper Luna sinks into this world, the more she realizes: Quanta isn't just a power. It's a secret people are willing to kill for. And she may be right in the center of it. Secret academy. Found family. A chaotic duo who accidentally terrorize their professors. Welcome to Pine Hollow-better known as The Disaster Hollow.
Pluto&Mars
PROLOGUE: There was a man sitting at home, fiddling with his pencil, trying his best to do his job. This man sat back and sighed. He was famished and in an empty house. He was about to move. Boxes littered the hallway. He had gotten a new job in another state and knew it would be better for him and for those around him. On his last deadline, he knew not what to think about, let alone the blank blueprints he was meant to fill in. He preoccupied his time with thoughts of the past, romance, and grief. He thought of the man he'd loved. The man he still loved. He thought of the house he dreamt of having with him. He considered what would make it special for them. He pictured them dancing in their living room. Then, he started to sketch his dreams, thinking of the story that would change his entire life. He attempted the home he wanted, and yet it wasn't perfect. It never was. Not for them, no. He stared at the blueprints for a long while before amending it to the customer's liking. That was his trick. This time; however, it was different. He started to remember their entire time together with simultaneous happiness and sadness. This man's name was Pluto. He was known as such since elementary, and it was, for such a long time, matching with one other. Mars. Pluto and Mars. This, now, was a distant memory. One of love and loss. This is the tale of two kids, two friends, and two lovers. Pluto and Mars.Complete
The Red Mafia
The year is 2364 and a teenager approached a broken down robot in a field. The debris of a spaceship lay scattered around the area, barely recognizable as a ship. The teen knelt down and pressed the big "power on" button on the robot. The vintage T.V. began powering up... "Hello?" A humanoid sat on the ruins of an abandoned building. Moss and plants engulfed the stone walls, returning it back to nature. What this building once was, no one modern could know. A duo approached, one waving to the person with a pipe-like arm. The other looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Despite this, the three left together. Now a team of unlikely heroes: a child of a multimillion-dollar cooperation C.E.O., turned acclaimed assassin, an old assistance droid with a stolen soul, and a misplaced child from a magical mossy world. The three, forced to work together by an otherworldly deity, will try to stop a universal leader with a villainous agenda and a god complex. How the trio will cope? I guess we'll find out.

Under the Shadow of the Moon
Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again. Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies. Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything. Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.Complete

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Our Universe | Jikook |
"No matter what you do... I'll love you to the moon and back.." Jeon Jungkook is a young twenty-one-year old astronomer in Seoul, Korea. The young man had a daring look to his profile and was an absolute ladies man that exceeded in life and thought his life was already complete! He was tall, fair, a head full of jet black hair as every cheekbone on his attractive face was highlighted. His voice was low, gentle and admirable. He checked off all the points of being such a dream boyfriend to almost anyone. However, the boy already had his girlfriend. In fact, he had everything he could ask for! His perfect dream job and supportive colleagues. However, in order for him to obtain this spot, someone was let go... Or went missing along the way. A year prior to Jungkook's job opportunity, there was an astronaut by the name of Park Jimin. A twenty-three-year old young adult. He was charming as they said, perfect and social. Lips puckered into a pink plump, dark brown eyes locked with each glance and his hair was thrown back into a chocolate, dark brown color. He was the perfect boy that was uttered around the lab one and twice before... However, everyone presumed the man to be dead once he took on a mission in space to last a year. In which, one year on earth was only a short time in space. But stretching towards the young man's birthday at the end of his first year, all connection was lost and he was forever lost in space. Completely becoming erased from the conversation as everyone searched and searched, but there was no luck. Park Jimin was gone forever.

Jungkook is an engineer on the Cygnus, a crew made up of seven men. And, when you're in space 24/7, it's hard to meet new people, especially, people that can help with certain... needs. "Kook," Hoseok's voice is suddenly a lot softer. "Did Yoongi or I ever say we were exclusive?" Jungkook's breath halts as his eyes snap up to Hoseok's. Jungkook shakes his head. "So," Hoseok's voice suddenly drops as his eyes seem to darken a color. "Do you want your hyungs to take care of you?" Or... Jungkook lets his hyungs take care of him. (Eventual OT7)Complete
The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Getting abducted by aliens was something you had never expected to happen to you. Sure, you had never really doubted their existence, after all the universe was that big that the possibility of creatures living beyond the realms of the Earth was very likely, yet it made no sense to you to suddenly find yourself in the situation of being imprisoned in a spaceship like an animal, the aliens conducting strange and painful experiments on you. But when you meet an utterly captivating alien that rescues you from those cruel experiments and makes you feel loved and at home, will you give in to fate doing everything in its might to draw you close to him?
