bildungsroman dystopian scifi teen

Twelve year old Sorrow Anderson was taken to the Machine four years too early. She has heard all the horror stories from her sister about the Machine, how it will take you away forever, as it did to the rest of their family, stripping you of your identity. She finds herself instead as a part of an essential but secret system. She has two choices; she can either become what she is expected to be, another drone who keeps the Machine running, or she can fight to keep her life and her identity.

Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister) by Lalainad1301

Taylor's little sister, Elizabeth, is struggling with an eating disorder. Lizzie is 15 years old and Taylor is desperate to help her. Trigger warning: this story will contain topics related to eating disorders, depression, self harm, anxiety and mental health. However, I will try to avoid mentioning numbers related to weight or calories. This is actually based on my story, but of course there's fiction too. It's my first time writing for other people to read, so any comment/advice is more than welcomed.

Clean [Kaylor] by TheComet13

Taylor has become the most famous singer in the world, and her life looks perfect on the outside. But if only people looked a little closer, they would realize how much she's struggling - struggling to keep her sexuality a secret, struggling with self-loathing, struggling with drugs. She's a mess, and the future seems nothing but a never-ending black hole in which she has fallen and doesn't know how to come out. That until she meets Karlie Kloss, who seems like she's made of sunshine, and she can either help Taylor find her way out of the darkness, or push her farther into it... This is my take on Kaylor. It doesn't necessarily follow the "real" timeline, even though I've tried to stick to it as much as possible. [WARNING: this story deals with drug abuse, if that's one of your triggers, then don't read.]

Burning Day by _ayah21

Subject 23 has lived and trained in the facility for all her life. It's all she's ever known. So every Subject developing their own special ability-a Gift-is normal. Avoiding the attention of the staff without Gifts, fearing them, hating them, is second-nature. It doesn't help that she herself is the only Ungifted Subject left at the facility. But what isn't normal is that weekly for the past six months, a Subject has been taken from the facility and killed. No one-not the doctors nor the soldiers-can find a clue as to the murderer. When Subject 23's closest friend is taken, she swears vengeance, consumed by rage. But what if she's no match? What if she's taken next? As secrets unfold and 23 is thrust into unimaginable places, she's forced to question all she's believed about Ungifteds-about herself. For the first time, 23 must decide on her own what future she wants, but could it possibly be with other Ungifteds?

Camera Flashes (1) - Taylor Swift by happyathello13

"You talk like you ate a thesaurus for breakfast. You should try a normal person word instead of lineage, like family." "Would that not involve being remotely fond of them?" Being famous is like someone slowly suffocating you. Even if you chose it, you don't realize until it's already too late and the air is gone. Some people make it out, some crave the attention, while others merely let it suffocate them past the point of no return. Grace didn't choose to be famous, but Taylor did. The camera flashes are bright, they are blinding, and life is a total nightmare. It's about to get a whole lot worse. - An alternate universe to my story 'Stay' and the subsequent one shots, same characters, completely different life. As with all my stories, this book contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter and is intended for a mature audience. Reader discretion is advised. - This is a work of fiction and I only own original characters and not Taylor Swift, her works or any other living and mentioned people. Persons and or opinions are fictional and not meant to cause harm to anyone living or dead. Do not reproduce or adapt.

The Law and the Codas by Eraithess

The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?

Accelerator by LegendsInTheMaking

Chase Arrows, among millions of minors were your average children inside the world government in the year 2234 a.d. They went to school, made friends, and had their dreams. That all changes when the representatives at the top develop M.O.N.O. (Multi-Optical Network Operator) and the Accelerator program. They soon abuse their absolute power and take all ten year old children across the world, cybernetically enhancing their bodies and taking away their minds to create an army far more powerful than anything else so that no one may oppose them. Four years later, a system hiccup causes the Accelerators to obtain what was lost worldwide, but only five managed to escape recapture. They now fight the world government with their cyborg bodies and won't rest until everyone is freed...
