It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way.
It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost.
Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.
The Caretaker He Bought
"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

My Unexpected Bastet Clan
The contraband wasn't weapons or drugs. It was three tiny, mewling kittens, hidden away on a dead pirate ship. As the best scout in near space, Vinze Kees expected a bonus, not a life sentence of diapers and round-the-clock feedings. He certainly didn't expect them to be Bastets-a mysterious, reclusive race whose children are prized on the black market. And he definitely didn't expect their embassy to declare him their permanent guardian. According to their laws, the kittens had imprinted on him. For life. Now, Vinze-a battle-hardened, independent omega who never planned on a family-is on mandatory maternity leave. His world shrinks to the four walls of his apartment, dominated by three alien babies who grow at an astonishing rate, demand constant touch, and seem to think his primary function is to be their personal climbing tree and milk bar. But as his foundlings rapidly mature from helpless kittens into three brilliant, powerful, and fiercely possessive alpha males, Vinze's feelings begin to shift. The line between guardian and something more blurs. They are no longer his children; they are his protectors, his obsession, and they've made it clear they have no intention of sharing him with anyone. He saved them from the clutches of pirates, but can he survive the terrifying, all-consuming love of three Bastets who have claimed him as their true mate?

Tethered Through Time ~ {10th Doctor x Reader}
All I wanted was to come home to my family-the one I built with the Tylers and Mickey. Instead, I came home to aliens, a blue box that travels through space, and a man with centuries in his eyes and a warmth I can't explain. He says he's just the Doctor. But the universe seems to bend whenever I'm near him. Just a warning, this story was thought of as a plus size Reader. Also some of this story will follow cannon episodes, but most will be original. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment, comments give me more motivation:)

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

"Technically I ordered before all these people." I point out. "Technically I can have you kicked out for being an entitled nuisance so you better stand in that line before I lose my patience."
