Time travel was supposed to be scientific-nobody warned her this mission will be emotional sabotage. It's the year 2426, and the government's most trusted time-traveler-is sent back on a mission. Task: ensure a genius unknowingly creates the most important invention in human history. Easy, right? Except... she grabbed the wrong memory chip. No instructions. No cultural manual. Her only guide, a stubborn will, and a brain wired to decode quantum formulas but absolutely no clue how a toaster works.

Separated By a Wall
August 14, 3044. It was a future where humans didn't have to advance because technology did all the work for them. A future where children couldn't visit their parents after a certain age and you barely know the route through your own house because your teleporting from the bedroom to the kitchen. A world where you're practically mind controlled. It wasn't always like this. Humans used to have diversity and freedom to think for themselves. But on August 14th, 3044 a new species called the Anoch landed on our planet. The humans immediately categorized them as a threat and split the world into two halves by a stone wall. Humans on one side, Anoch on the other. Everyone seems to have adjusted to this change and go on with life as if everything was normal. But not me. I was only six when it happened. It's now the year 3054 and I still find it all strange. The new life the humans have been forced to live. The way the Anoch are treated as if they're some sort of experiment. And it seems like I'm the only one who cares enough to find the truth. I'm the one who snuck out. And you wouldn't believe what I found behind the wall.Complete![Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/173976333-256-k815092.jpg)

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete

From Adi to Anant
Some souls don't meet for the first time-they remember. Bound by lifetimes, separated by time, Kanha and Achyut find each other again-drawn by rain, dreams, and the quiet ache of something unfinished. Every glance feels remembered. Every silence feels sacred. Every touch carries echoes of lives they once lived, and lives they are yet to live. In a world that keeps changing, their love doesn't. Across centuries and countless reincarnations, fate conspires to bring them together, even when the universe conspires against them. From the bustling streets of modern cities to the quiet lanes of distant pasts, from whispered secrets under moonlight to storms that shake the soul, they chase each other through memories and time, never quite free from the gravity of what binds them. They are the spark in the rain, the calm in the chaos, the unfinished story that refuses to end. Lovers torn apart by circumstance, reunited by destiny-every heartbreak only strengthens the thread that ties them. And even when the world forgets, their souls remember. Because some stories aren't written once-they're lived again and again. From the first breath to the last... From beginning to beyond... From Adi to Anant. Tropes & Themes: Reincarnation / Past Lives Soulmates / Eternal Love Fate and Destiny Unfinished Business / Memories Across Time Slow Burn / Enemies-to-Lovers Love Against All Odds / Timeless Connection
