What if you could choose your physical appearance, your name, even your gender? Here's the catch: your "choice" must be an offered option, and you can't undo your decision. This is an exploration of human free will and the gender binary originally written for a library writing contest (I may expand the idea at some point, but for now it is a (very) short story).

    [Originally written in 2017 for an assignment; expanded and reworked overtime, though eventually I decided this was as far as I was going to go with it. Hope you like it!] As is customary when one reaches twelve years of age, the Order has manufactured your very own Face. As all Faces are created uniquely for the individual, operating based on DNA given to the Order by your kind doctors and physicians, it is required that you wear your Face as often as you can (excluding meals and sleep) to ensure maximum results. Such results, as you may know, include the following: -increased intellect -increase in motor skills/capabilities -drop in anxiety, depression, mood swings...etc. etc. -regulated impulse control to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you -regulated mood to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you * Note that Face technology, while it does improve mental and emotional stability, will not and cannot help or fix physical disabilities, nor can it fix serious mental disabilities. See your local doctor to receive treatment for such ailments, as your Face is incapable of doing so. Your Face, as you may have heard, will be your new identity from this day forward. You cannot go anywhere without it. Damage or loss of your Face or anyone else's Face will lead to severe consequences. Neglect to wear it, or refusal to wear it, will result in punishment.

    Conflicting Objectives: Connor X Female Reader (Detroit Become Human Fanfiction)
    This is a Detroit Become Human fanfiction. Welp. I told myself that I was going to wait with this. But alas, I wasn't able to contain myself. I played Detroit Become Human a few days ago and loved it (despite the ended that I got that was stupid and that I'm still salty about. But I have decided to pretend that that doesn't exist. So there.) Connor really fascinated me in the game and quickly became my favorite character with Kara as a close second. And then I fell in love with Connor so here we are. I know that a lot of fans love him too so I decided to make this! Unfortunately, with all my other projects in the works I don't know how often I'll be able to update this, but don't worry! It will be updated whenever I can! I hope you enjoy! In this story, you are a detective the partner and close friend of Lieutenant Hank Anderson. Work has been more than steady, with new reports due to deviants rising up one after another. What you think is going to be a normal day of work turns out to be quite the opposite as your boss has a little surprise for you and Hank... DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own the cover page. I also do NOT own the characters or the world of Detroit Become Human. I will also be using game dialogue and tweaked game dialogue, as well as my own original dialogue. So, I do NOT own the game dialogue either. This game was developed by Quantic Dream and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Credit goes to them in those regards. I do NOT own the story of Detroit, but I do own this spin on it.

  • I am a Wild Rose
    I am a Wild Rose
    "I am a wild rose. I am free. I do not need your permission to grow. To bloom, to be the person I was always meant to be." In Martha's world, an alternative earth, the people follow the rules of 'The Grandmothers'. When you turn twenty five you are shelved, no longer allowed to date and forbidden from marrying. The earth is still recovering from the third world war. Resources are controlled by the Elites and the environment is polluted and many countries are damaged beyond repair. The population that survived the war has been ravaged by chemical weapons. The genders are out of balance. For over sixty years the birth rate of female babies has far outweighed their male counterparts. Women are resigned to the knowledge that if they are not married by the time they are twenty five that they never will be. They have limited choices once they are shelved. Martha chooses to go against the wishes of her family. She will spend the rest of her life taking care of her widowed Father as opposed to working and giving all her money to her younger female cousins to supplement their dowry. Fate and time has a different plan. Martha is drawn into a battle between The 19 and The Wild Roses. Two different factions each wanting to use and twist Martha for their own ambitions. Will Martha be able to bloom and change the world for the better or will she crushed? ....This story is a work in progress, it has themes and ideas that may change over time as the story develops and as I learn what you like and dislike about the novel.
