In the shadows of a decaying city, four young souls fight to survive.
Noam, Khalil, and Milo have built a world of their own - a fragile refuge deep within the forgotten ruins of the city. They're brothers not by blood, but by fire, hunger, and loyalty.
When a mysterious girl appears on their turf - fierce, silent, and alone - everything begins to shift. As the outside world closes in with cameras, riot shields, and hollow promises, the group must navigate a system that's never cared if they lived or died.
Gritty, tender, and defiant, Hearts of the Wasteland is a story about found family, resistance, and the light that survives even in the darkest corners.

Barbed Wire Bats and Crossbows by HowlesJin
41 parts Complete
In a world rebuilt on the bones of the old, the Capitol rules with iron and spectacle. Every year, they gather the broken remnants of humanity to watch them kill each other in the Hunger Games-a show of power no one dares defy. But this year is different. When Daryl Dixon, the silent hunter of District 7, is chosen as a Tribute, everyone expects him to disappear into the trees and survive alone. When Negan Smith, the brutal legend of District 2, volunteers with a crooked grin, everyone expects a bloodbath. No one expects them to team up. No one expects them to refuse to play. As alliances form and the Capitol tightens its grip, Daryl and Negan become the unlikeliest of partners-bound by the same unspoken promise: they will not become monsters. In the arena's ruins and shadows, something begins to grow between them-a trust neither of them thought they deserved. A hunger not for violence, but for hope. For something more. This is not a story of victory. This is a story of rebellion-and the two men who dared to love in the heart of the Games.

What should have broken her sparks something else instead: a fire she didn't know she carried, a defiance that even Sam can't ignore. Every scene pulls her further from who she was, and deeper into who she's becoming. The question isn't whether she can survive this world. It's whether this world can survive her.

In the shattered remains of post-war America, survival is a cruel game. Izzy, a young vault dweller with a dangerous secret experiment buried in her past, escapes into the irradiated wasteland-bloodied, alone, and hunted. She never expects her fate to become tangled with a cynical, battle-scarred ghoul, a man who once lived under another name: Cooper Howard. To him, she's a bargaining chip. To her, he's a captor she swears she'll never trust. But the road across the wastes is long, and every step forces them closer together. Raiders, super mutants, cultists, and the ever-looming threat of the Brotherhood of Steel hound their every move. Izzy fights not only to survive-but to resist the pull of her captor's hidden humanity. Cooper, haunted by who he was before the bombs fell, never intended to care. Selling her was the plan. Letting her get close was never part of it. Yet somewhere between firelit camps, whispered confessions, stolen dances, and blood-soaked battles, the lines blur. And when Izzy's buried secret begins to surface-her body changing in ways neither of them understand-the question becomes whether they'll destroy each other... or find something worth saving in the ashes. Part survival, part slow-burn romance, Bound in the Wastes is a story of betrayal, healing, and the fragile hope of love in a world where everything else is broken.
