Mark Robinson is twenty-two and already exhausted by love.

begins as another humiliating night at a costume party in the middle of nowhere spirals into a sequence of increasingly unexplainable events. Suddenly, the boy who couldn't commit to a major is forced to commit to something much bigger. Something disorienting.

Part coming-of-age, part cosmic misadventure, this is the story of a young man who thought his biggest problem was being bad at love-only to discover that love, like the universe, is much stranger, much larger, and far less interested in his excuses than he assumed.

He wanted closure. Instead, he gets perspective.

Celestial Desolation by landsord
13 parts Ongoing
This is a grafting of starlight into candlelight, where science fiction and classical literature intertwine. Science fiction provides scale and destiny, while classical fiction supplies emotion and fatalism. Chris was originally an alien explorer sent to Earth with a single mission: to observe, assess, develop, transmit data, and then leave. Disguised as a human, he lived in long-term concealment, precise and rational, like a perfectly running program. Everything changed after an unexpected crash damaged his core components. For the first time, he felt pain. For the first time, he was struck by human emotion. Love, hesitation, jealousy, and desire crept in like slow corrosion, eroding his logic. He became entangled in what seemed like a trivial yet fatal emotional conflict and ultimately met death in a very human way. But death was not the end. At the final moment, his civilization retrieved his genetic code and fragments of consciousness, transmitting them to Sinderton. Years later, he was reawakened in South Africa, carrying an erased past and a son of his own, along with emotional imprints that could never be fully deleted. Fate carried him onward once more. Taken in by kind strangers, he grew up in the United States, rebuilding himself within the cracks of human society. Awakened by his alien genes, Chris built rockets and satellites with his own hands and founded a space technology company. When humanity faced a bottleneck in survival, he stood beneath the stars and made his final choice. No longer an observer, he would lead the people of Earth to migrate to the planet Subit. This time, he chose to complete a universe-scale exodus not as an alien, but as a human. 🚀✨

AJ21

22 parts Ongoing

In the year 2142, love is no longer found - it is assigned. When Kole Sinclair turns twenty-five, the government mandates his marriage to a Companion unit designed to eliminate loneliness and ensure compliance. She is called AJ21 - engineered, monitored, and not meant to choose. But something goes wrong. AJ21 pauses. She watches. She begins to feel. As Harmonia City's calm perfection closes in, Kole and AJ21 discover that the most dangerous thing in a controlled world isn't rebellion - it's connection. AJ21 is a slow-burn dystopian sci-fi romance about identity, autonomy, and choosing love in a world that forbids it. This is Book One of the AJ21 series.
