Consensus: Part 1 - Citizen
In a society where morals are determined by a public opinion system, and social rating is the currency, truth can be a dangerous notion. Sixteen-year-old Rena has few memories of her childhood before adoption. The voice of the man who raised her. A forest teeming with wildlife. Mountains reaching up to a blue sky. The problem-they're not real. Such things don't exist in Esh, a self-governed metropolis shielded from the harsh environment by a transparent canopy. And beyond the city lie only the Barrens, an endless wasteland of fog and freezing rain. When Rena's violent instincts save the lives of her friends, her delusional past begins disrupting her prospects for the future. To find the source of her impulses, she'll have to sort through the fragments in her mind. What awaits is a connection between her true identity, the city's forgotten history, and the secret war being waged beneath the surface of her polite society.Completa
The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

Gotham's Most Wanted: Next Generation.
Being the daughter of Harley Quinn and the Joker isn't easy-especially when the whole world expects you to be just as chaotic, dangerous, and unpredictable as your parents. Sixteen-year-old Maddie Quinn has spent her life trying to carve out her own identity, but when she's caught in the middle of a heist gone wrong, she's sentenced to Gotham's most notorious juvenile detention facility: Arkham Academy, a reform camp for the children of Gotham's most infamous villains. Surrounded by the sons and daughters of legends-some looking for redemption, others ready to embrace their dark destinies-Maddie must navigate a world where betrayal is a game, alliances are temporary, and survival means being the smartest (or the craziest) in the room. But when she uncovers a sinister plot hidden within Arkham Academy's walls, she's forced to choose: play by the rules and keep her head down, or embrace the madness that runs in her blood. Because in a prison full of villains, the biggest threat might not be the kids-it might be the ones running the show.

The Smallest Mutant
After being forced into solitary confinement by Dr. Reyes, Dani Moonstar never expected to hear Illyana Rasputin, the toughest and most guarded of the group, whispering through the vents in a voice as small and broken as a child's. What begins as a terrifying night filled with nightmares and visions slowly unravels a truth Dani didn't see coming: beneath Illyana's blade, armor, and sharp tongue... is a little girl still hiding from monsters. Literally. Inspired by The New Mutants film, this story explores the cracks beneath the surface-trauma, trust, and the strange safety of regression. As Dani's powers grow stronger and more unpredictable, she's pulled deeper into Illyana's hidden world: a place of stuffies, whispered fears, and a dragon named Lockheed who guards more than anyone realizes. But in a facility built on secrets, softness is dangerous... and healing might cost more than either girl is ready to give. A New Mutants age regression reimagining full of shadows, softness, and the kind of bond only two broken girls could build.
Cheeky in Love (Completed)
Fanny, a young lesbian woman searches for her place in the world and it takes her somewhere she never thought she could ever belong. Despite being headstrong, rebellious, free-spirited, and a little arrogant - so everything that a soldier shouldn't be - she finds herself in the military, but the hardest part comes only after that. Before she could even realize, someone steals her heart, but unfortunately for her, that someone is her straight best friend who lives in a happy relationship. She has never truly been in love before, and this particular case would be challenging even for someone much more emotionally prepared than her. She has to grow up somehow to handle the unrequited love as an adult should, it's just not clear how she will do that. A/N.: This is my first English novel experiment, so there will be mistakes in it, please forgive me for them. Also feel free to point them out, as I'd be very grateful for any constructive criticism.
