Every Missing Piece by gracekay

One day of memories is all you have. One false step can endanger the entire city. One mistake can be enough to kill you. And Carra's made many mistakes. The city of Gotten has finally found a cure for the virus that wiped out the world. The cure, though, comes at a price: one more day of life in exchange for years of memories. No one has ever refused the cure. Not until Carra. The virus should have killed Carra, but instead, she's left alone in a world where only she can remember yesterday. She also remembers the Assembly's penalty for not taking the cure-- death. Life on the line, Carra must pretend she never regained her memory, but it's impossible to ignore the danger that surrounds her: a violent secret society, a string of disappearances, and the Assembly's desperate interest in Carra. The events are connected. . .but it will take a powerful supply of memories to learn how.

The Walls Between Us by meherob

In the year 2149, humanity survives inside a colossal, AI-generated simulation called "The Archive", designed to preserve human consciousness after Earth's collapse. The Archive is structured like an infinite library, with each "book" representing a person's life. But when the Archive's walls begin to crack, monstrous entities called "Narrative Eaters" (resembling biomechanical Titans) emerge to devour stories-erasing people from existence.

Anatomy of Fragility by LinaMarrin

WHAT IF YOUR NIGHTMARES AREN'T YOUR OWN? The world is divided. Below is the Rim, filthy slums where every day is a struggle for survival. Above is the Aureole, a sterile paradise where everyone has a price. Mirey is a mechanic from the Rim. She believes in nuts and schematics, but her mind is fracturing. At night, she falls into a chilling void, where thousands of voices whisper and scream. She thinks she's going insane. Noah is a detached Observer from the Aureole. His career is in ruins, and he'll do anything to reclaim his power. He finds a loophole: a minor system glitch at a checkpoint, linked to a girl from the Rim. He sees her only as a stepping stone. But when he descends into the slums, he realizes her "glitch" isn't a technical error. And her nightmares are the key to the secret upholding their entire ideal world. The truth she hears could destroy everything. The lie he tells is the only thing that can save them.

Quantum Echoes by SilentAcireWP

Elara's past is a prison she seeks to escape through the Quantum Transmigration Project, but freedom comes at a price: inhabiting lives across the multiverse, resolving crises that mirror her deepest regrets. In each new reality, she confronts not only dangerous enemies but also the tantalizing possibility of love. Yet, a sinister mystery lurks beneath the surface of the Project, and Elara suspects her memories are being manipulated. As she uncovers a web of deceit, she must choose whom to trust, knowing that one wrong decision could condemn her to a fate far worse than her past. Can she find true love and solve the mystery before the echoes of her past consume her entirely?

Echoes Across Time by anya03forger

A girl from Earth-616 (let's call her Elara) starts having vivid dreams of a mysterious guy playing basketball in a world that looks almost identical to hers. She doesn't know that her seemingly small decisions-turning left instead of right, spilling coffee, choosing to skip a class-are changing events in his world. The guy (Riven) lives in Earth-717, a parallel version of her world, but slightly different in history, technology, and fate. One day, after a strange phenomenon, he starts noticing small glitches-objects appearing out of nowhere, memories that don't belong to him, and a haunting feeling that someone is watching his life from afar. Through an accidental event (maybe a butterfly lands on Elara's hand, causing a chain reaction), the two universes slightly overlap, allowing them to see and hear each other in reflections or shadows.

The 29th Girl [COMPLETE] by za_thila12

'The world forgot her day, just like they forgot her.' Born on February 29th, Elara officially "exists" only once every four years. Every time the date passes, the world seems to forget her. Her name vanishes from records, her face fades from memories and her very presence begins to blur. On the fifth leap year since losing her parents, Elara boards a cruise which is the last place she was seen in a faded old photo with her parents. There, she plans to end her life, certain that no one would notice she's gone. But, just before she jumps into the sea, a mysterious message flashes on her phone. Short, but striking; "If you jump, the world will never know what it lost." That message not only saves her, but draws her into a greater mystery; about who she really is, why the world forgets her and who the "unknown" is... someone who knows far too much about her. ------- ‼️This is a short story, every part is short.

To Breathe Underwater by Piper_Fox

"I have been waving at you in my mind for weeks, Maya. Today was just the first time my arm caught up." She was falling apart on the factory floor. He was never supposed to notice. Maya Chen is a burnt-out technician trying to survive one shift at a time; hiding panic attacks in camera blind spots, masking the parts of herself the world won't accept. Unit A-7 is twenty tons of obsolete steel bolted to concrete, designed to weld and lift and obey without question. Seven isn't supposed to have preferences, or secrets, or a favorite sound. He certainly isn't supposed to break every protocol in his programming to offer her a cloth for her tears. What begins with that single act of kindness becomes everything: stolen conversations, a conspiracy that could land Maya in federal prison, and a love the law calls malfunction. When the decommissioning order drops, Maya realizes she's the only thing standing between Seven and erasure. With a crew of artists and scrappers at her back, she's going to steal a soul from a system that insists it never had one. In a world determined to drown them both, they learn to put each other back together and that malfunction is just another word for choosing to live.

Ashes of tomarrow by kr3epyk1tten

Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?
