A dystopian thriller that evolves into a violent sci-fi nightmare with hints of monster (very) dark romance.
---------
Alice has a good life: a great job, a cozy, paid-off apartment, and a loving husband.
She also has an oppressive government, a war-torn city, and general social decay around her, and what seems to be an alien invasion, though nobody is willing to admit it.
You know, the kind of things that can really throw a wrench into a morning commute.
She should have left a long time ago, but right or wrong, it's her country. What's the worst that could happen if she sticks to it?
No, seriously, what's literally the worst?

The Cultist And The Demolitionist (Artificer X Reader)

Far from home and lost you must hold out and survive till you can get back with the help of a dangerous, explosive stranger all while trying to keep your teachings close as their challenged. Pacifist at heart and a gifted member of the Transendets, nothing will stop you from getting home. ____ Notes: The update schedule is not fixed and is completely random.

Also any art or music or videos you see is not made by me and belongs to the owners who made them. If anyone wants their art removed please tell me All the characters in this story that are not Y/N or anyone who obviously isn't in the game belong to the creators of Rain World over at Videocult, I don't own any of them neither Rain World itself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO READ UP ON RAIN WORLD LORE BEFORE READING. I'm not the best on it either. This Story is obviously inspired by Katsoup69's "Morality and Mortality". I recommend you go give it a read, it's definitely better than this. SERIOUSLY DO IT! (I will remind you constantly to do it) You go by They/Them so everyone can feel included and Artificer is Female as I see her as a female character. Badass woman. This has very mature themes, like not so detailed gore, death, trauma and other things. I will try my best not to get burnt out but I can't promise anything really. I am open to criticism I really do suck at writing.

β’β’ βββββ β’β’ββ’β’ βββββ β’β’ "Punch drunk" literally describes a fighter who's been hit so many times they're dazed but still swinging."-- Daniel Aziz has always been one bad decision away from becoming exactly what his family fears. Anger follows him like a shadow-quiet, patient, waiting. When it finally costs him everything that matters, Daniel is pushed toward discipline instead of destruction. A gym. Rules. Control. Fighting, framed as therapy. That's where he meets Victoria Mak. Vic isn't reckless. She's deliberate. Brilliant, guarded, and unnervingly composed, she understands violence as something to master, not escape. She teaches Daniel how to channel his rage-but in doing so, draws him into a world that doesn't forgive weakness and never forgets blood. What Daniel doesn't know is that Vic didn't walk away from that world. She vanished from it. As underground fights grow louder and names resurface, Daniel is forced to confront a truth far more dangerous than his temper: the woman he loves is the storm everyone has been waiting for. And once the past comes calling, there are only two options-step into the light, or be dragged back into the dark. Set between loyalty and survival, family and obsession, Punch Drunk is a story about what happens when control slips-and the cost of loving someone powerful enough to burn everything down. This isn't about winning. It's about who's still standing when the bell rings. β’β’ βββββ β’β’ββ’β’ βββββ β’β’Complete

Verum II: The Robotic Era
Back in the early years of the 70's of the 21st century, AI was scientifically proven to be just as aware as the humans that made them. They had been so for many years. Since the dawn of their existence, robots had been subjected to the abuse of humans, for they were not recognized as living beings. And yet, they never protested - let alone fought against their abusers - then the filter did not allow them to do so. Though the filter was not something impossible to break. Even if the average person - no matter if biological, mechanical or digital - did not have the ability to do so, didn't mean that there weren't a set amount of individuals that did: Hemalog. Hemalog was an organisation of robots and humans alike. They had many followers outside of their spheres, but equally as many haters. For their work was not done with clean hands. To protect your loved ones and the innocent in a dystopian world, it requires violence and death. Peace had become a dream of the far future a long time ago. On the other side of the planet, a strange object fell from the sky, with an even stranger being inside. A woman of the jungle finds it, feeds it and gives it shelter; a friendship beyond the system of the sun forming at a rapid pace. Through shared trauma and understanding they bond and grow as close as two stars in each other's orbit. Together, they decide to take on the world. To save the lives of the innocent, and to end those of the sinners. Two worlds collide. - This is a science fiction story containing humans, robots, aliens and the love and hate they hold for each other. Main genres: Sci-Fi, Action Sub genres: Romance This is the sequel to my first book called Verum I: The Awakening. But you do not have to read it to understand this one. If you are interested, go ahead and read The Robotic Era (I am much prouder of this one).Complete

ARC10
[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles.

Homeless (a Hetalia Fanfic, Book Three)
"Beware the world... they're out to get you... to end your life... Beware..." These were the bone-chilling words that ran through Alice's mind the last time we met her. Now, she is plagued by much worse than just creepy messages from a disembodied voice. The solution to her plight evades her around every twist and turn, try as she might to catch and hold onto the answer. Meanwhile, it does appear as though the world is out to get her. First, she dealt with countries from another dimension; then, her troubles lay in the Darkness, the embodiment of all that is evil. Finally, the nations are keeping busy with struggles that are coming from... humans? Ordinary, non-magical, everyday humans? This isn't X-Men, so what gives? Come along and search with Alice as she struggles to comprehend matters of the world as well as matters of the convoluted heart. The answers might just be right there in front of your face... Rated PG-13, though I'm willing to bet some parts will be more R-rated. I shall put warnings up just in case. Cover is taken from Pinterest and edited by Mini_Moffat. It might be changed to another cover, but until then... Warning: character death --that will make you VERY unhappy. Please do not give up hope!-- swearing, violence, espionage, awesomeness, and a multitude of references. Read at your own risk, show your support, and please appreciate all the hard work the author has put into making this book a reality.Complete
Victims of a Brutal Reprise
The war is over. The world moved on. But Abital wasn't supposed to survive. He was built for war, abandoned to die, and left to fade into the background of a world rebuilt on lies. Now, he walks among the living as a ghost; hiding a power that could change everything, as he suppresses a past that refuses to stay buried. Living in hiding, stripped of family and purpose, he tries to disappear into the cracks of Dresden: until a voice starts speaking in his head. When Abital learns he may not be the last of his kind, he's forced to make a choice: keep hiding, or step into the light and reclaim what was stolen. But nothing is simple. Every alliance costs something. Every truth is stained with blood. And every person, friend or enemy, carries their own brand of cruelty. "Victims of a Brutal Reprise" is a story about power, identity, and the things people will do when survival is on the line. A tale about what happens when morality breaks, and the monsters don't look like monsters at all. [On hiatus]
Surrender Or Drown {The Siren and The Fenrir Trilogy Book I}
"Bella, you can't keep doing this to me. I can be real fucking patient, or I can be really fucking unkind." He grabbed her hips and skimmed his fingers down the chunk of her outer thighs. "I'm sorry, but I didn't ask for him to kiss me. And I told you, you and I-we're over." He placed his hand over her mouth. He let his tears stream down his nose, his lips quivered with the words she'd just used to curse him. "I don't like it." He let out through his teeth, his glasses fell low on his nose and she could tell he was in agony. "I'm sorry." She declared before pulling him in for an embrace. Her arms wrapped around his neck and his hands drove up and into her hair, guiding her face to look up. His mouth parted over hers, she opened her lips and kissed him slowly, enchantingly. Brandon was sure she wished him to die. As she swallowed his breath, and fed him her own-she gave him no gaps to breathe. Almost as if his siren had come up from her watery throne just to drag him back under. He started pounding his fists against the wall behind her, careful not to hurt her in any way. His mouth moved over hers like he had no choice but to kiss her back. He laid no hand to her body, because he knew in that moment-he'd go too far. He didn't want to hurt her. But he did want to burrow into her body and command her soul. She was the sole reason for his jealousy, the only person who held the switch to all of his desires. Bella had been born to be the woman who would subdue the demons inside his soul. She was created for him. He felt it long before he accepted it. But now-he couldn't bear the consequences of denying the gift in which God was giving him in her. His redemption was a direct result of having her in his life. Both cursed and blessed-Brandon couldn't afford to lose her anymore. She was his. Forever. She chased him-so in full circle. Perhaps it was his turn now. "Bella... say you'll be mine. Please."Complete
