Many years ago, far before the beginning of time itself, a prophecy was written. One Gift to save them all, along with all of humanity, all that existed. In the year 3522, the Prophet arises. Nobody is aware of the strength of the Prophet, or whether or not they'll be able to live up to their destiny.
The Prophet is their only hope. If they lose the Prophet, they lose the existence of everything.
We set our story in the [fictional] town of Eastfield, Oregon. It was a big switch from living in the state of Minnesota for Capricorn. The year is 3522, very far ahead of our time.
Fifteen-year-old Capricorn Astrum (yes, like the astrological sign) is having some trouble adjusting to his new school.
The thing is, everyone around him is different.
Everyone knows what their "Aptitude" is. Their "Flair," a special ability they are born with that they must discover and learn to control. Capricorn has no idea why he was placed with these kids. He was the most ordinary person he knew.
But everything was about to change, and nothing was going to ever be the same.

City X ([BxB])
"City X: The Society Where Everything Is Just Perfect!" Yeah, right. I see that slogan everywhere, no matter where I look. It's all a lie, an illusion. Everyone believes that it's perfect, but they don't know the workings of the inside. I was told by someone I met years ago what really goes on inside the government building, and since have been moved to the poorest part of the "perfect" city. With every passing day, I feel my reality slipping away, fading into darkness and despair, no hope in me ever being normal ever again. I remember the day this all started like it was yesterday. I was a small five-year-old boy that had the intelligence of an eleventh grader when a new student joined our class, myself having to be the one who had to take him around the school... ~~~ Originally Completed On: November 19th, 2017 Published On: August 1st, 2018Complete
Siege - Sci-Fi (M/M)
The year is 473af and Earth answers to Secaro, a very distant and unknown planet. When they first arrived, people were amazed. They could show us knew ways of life that were only possible in our dreams - and even some newer ways that we would never have came up with. That all turned sour not even 40 years into their stay where they took over for good and don't seem to want to leave. It's not like Earth is particularly special, they speak of their home planet like it is some sort of heaven - and yes it still exists in perfect working conditions. So what do they want with us? Will they ever leave? And what will happen when a human falls for one of them? All may not appear to be what it seems in this not-so-typical Siege... Mxm so only read if you love sc-fi and some guy on guy love. It wont be too racy but i'll try my best to give you a little bit of the good stuff :pComplete
Pluto&Mars
PROLOGUE: There was a man sitting at home, fiddling with his pencil, trying his best to do his job. This man sat back and sighed. He was famished and in an empty house. He was about to move. Boxes littered the hallway. He had gotten a new job in another state and knew it would be better for him and for those around him. On his last deadline, he knew not what to think about, let alone the blank blueprints he was meant to fill in. He preoccupied his time with thoughts of the past, romance, and grief. He thought of the man he'd loved. The man he still loved. He thought of the house he dreamt of having with him. He considered what would make it special for them. He pictured them dancing in their living room. Then, he started to sketch his dreams, thinking of the story that would change his entire life. He attempted the home he wanted, and yet it wasn't perfect. It never was. Not for them, no. He stared at the blueprints for a long while before amending it to the customer's liking. That was his trick. This time; however, it was different. He started to remember their entire time together with simultaneous happiness and sadness. This man's name was Pluto. He was known as such since elementary, and it was, for such a long time, matching with one other. Mars. Pluto and Mars. This, now, was a distant memory. One of love and loss. This is the tale of two kids, two friends, and two lovers. Pluto and Mars.Complete
