Stardew Valley meets The Matrix in this cozy rebellion fantasy where plants won't scan, nothing makes sense, and the only way to survive is to unplug.


REPORT TO THE COTTAGE
A cozy revolution fantasy about moss, memory, and dismantling the system from the inside out.

Clover "Clo" Kline was never meant to stand out. Just another data compliance technician in a city wired for burnout, she spent her days uploading field reports and her nights chasing sleep in a windowless micro-flat. But when a strange reassignment order sends her to a rural "TERK cottage" at the edge of mapped territory, her devices fail, the signals vanish... and for the first time, she can think.

The locals speak in stories. The plants don't register on her scanners. Her handler-Smith-is hiding more than outdated protocols. And somewhere beneath the mossy charm, Clo starts to notice a pattern: the system doesn't want her to see what's real.

As she uncovers system secrets, Clo must choose: go back and report as ordered... or stay and become something the system never planned for.

Seventy-four years has been long enough. The way of the infamous Hunger Games has been altered. No longer is every Gamemaker out to devise the worst means of torture and death for every tribute. No longer are the people of Panem outwardly tolerant of President Snow's murderous actions. Under the facade of a normal group of Gamemakers, several rebellious citizens have begun an experiment which, if it succeeds, will make use of technology both to rescue the tributes before they are dead and then deposit the brainwashed children back in time. They have to try it. No one knows what horrors future Hunger Games may bring, and the desperate rebels are willing to try anything. Meanwhile, in the mountainous regions of District 2, Cato Hadley and Clove Kentwell have trained their whole lives for the Games. Nevertheless, their ambitions change when they, without meaning to, find themselves in the Games together. They are both determined to win. But if they don't, what will happen to them? The brainwashed tributes who land in New York City know nothing of who they are or where they are from. They do not remember Panem, or the Games, or even their own names. This is a science fiction story based off the Hunger Games and its characters. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Hunger Games! This story is based around a plot twist I created, but all rights go to Suzanne Collins, the author of the original series. Disclaimer no. 2: this was a first draft written by a very awkward fifteen-year-old me; please treat it as such.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

21 parts Complete Mature

In the near future, a lonely girl is saved from imminent rape by a worker robot. What begins as a programmed act of protection slowly transforms into a relationship as absurd as it is necessary. He was not designed to take care of anyone. She never wanted to be cared for. But when two broken creatures cross paths, a new logic begins to be born: one that is not written in manuals, but in glances, silences and shared coffees. Between screams, forced cleanliness and cigarettes thrown in the trash, something akin to love breaks through, without asking permission. Can a machine teach a human to love itself? And what happens when that machine begins to desire, against all logic, to stay? ⚠️ This story contains explicit language, violence, sensitive topics such as abuse, depression and suicide.
