White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

Mune'stahr and Pylott: HELLMARROW, a tale of the Ventriculum by JosephArmstead

"MUNE'STAHR and PYLOTT: HELLMARROW" is an epic tale of interstellar/cross-dimensional adventure featuring RIKTONN MUNE'STAHR and KESHURA PYLOTT, former Territorial Expanse SpecOps Troop officers in the Hegemonic Emperium's Extraplanetary High Frontier Extrasolar Naval Fleet. Following the catastrophic events of the Great Cosmic Revocation, that being the return to the Teshiwahurian Homeworld of all Naval Space forces from assignments in the World-Father's far-flung galactic empire, Mune'stahr and Pylott, separated from their naval units, are wrenched from the dimensions of normal Einsteinian SpaceTime to the bizarre cosmic corridor between dimensions known as "The Ventriculum". During a dangerous time of violent internal strife within the World-Father's crumbling interplanetary empire, the two space-armored SpecOps Troop veterans become biologically-bonded with a gigantic, sentient, alien ship called "The Glide", a spherical vessel that follows the programming of its own governing artificial intelligence, known as "Neesharim", on a mysterious mission to police the interdimensional gateways against sorcerers, alien dictators and their armies, space demons and other non-human threats scheming to enslave the Multiverse. Marooned in a colossal, intelligent shiftship that traverses a seemingly endless, omnidirectional fractal metaflow between universes, Mune'stahr and Pylott fight for ultimate Justice and for the control their own fates..." ********************************************************************************* Cover Art by the legendary John Conrad Berkey, copyright © John Berkey / www. johnberkey. com

The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: ABYSSIUM by JosephArmstead

"The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: Abyssium" is another early tale in the epic saga of D'Spayr's haunted youth, set three years Earth-time after the events of "Hell's Avatar" and nine years BEFORE he meets his comrades, Nygeia and Lumynn. He falls into the role of sellsword as he infiltrates the cabal of thuggish, bloodthirsty criminals among the forces of the government's army while assigned to the soon-to-be decommissioned moonbase of "Pex'Insava" orbiting some 380,000 miles above the surface of Teshiwahur. There, along with his scheming and duplicitous brother, he meets the artificially-evolved super-soldiers called "The Fae-spawn" and he accepts duties in one of their brigade-units as a mercenary consultant. The brigade runs afoul of a clandestine scheme to conquer Pex'Insava by insurrectionist terrorists using the Emperium's own fascist, anti-human mutant force, a ferocious Special Operations Counter-Insurgency military unit known as "The Nahztreme". Once the conspiracy is revealed, D'Spayr finds himself hunted and friendless except for the camaraderie of one of the most advanced members of The Fae-spawn, a vengeful, godlike super-being known as "Anthus Rohggym", and an enigmatic, moonborn woman-warrior named Reihn Valkonurr." ****************************************************************************************** Phenominal cover art by Stefanie Saw: @seventhstar

Mindustrial War (RWBY x Mindustry Crossover) by Somwherian

Everything changes when a shooting star lands on a planet with a broken moon Remnant has always imagined about their first encounter with the extraterrestrial, but they didn't expect their first meeting to be with an AI from beyond the stars. - Crossposted on Fanfiction Net! - [SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME MINDUSTRY IS NEEDED HERE. So go download and play it now! it'll explain most of the stuff here] After reconquering and driving the last of the Crux away from Serpulo, the Sharded's only AI has finally constructed the Interplanetary Accelerator, a massive railgun tower of sorts that the Crux once used to launch their cores into outer space. Now armed with most of the knowledge of their predecessors, they set off to land on either their local planets, Erekir or Tantros, or even their local asteroid belts. What the Sharded AI didn't expect was that the Interplanetary Accelerator would send them to somewhere far off into outer space, to the point where they're unable to connect or even return to their home planet. It didn't help that they've also landed on a cold sector of another far flung planet somewhere in the cosmos What the Sharded AI ALSO didn't expect is that this planet in particular.. had life. A ecosystem that their home planet once had before the Spore infestation robbed it away from them. but they won't be alone with their first contact, and sooner or later their past or new enemies will also land with them, and they will change the tides of war as they please. [Mindustry by Anuke and RWBY by Rooster Teeth] This is actually my first time writing a story about RWBY so don't expect much lore-accurate or story-accurate details here and there, but I may do my research here and there. Why is it #1 on the mech tag (1/1/24) Top 10 in the first contact tag too holy crap, alongside 100 FAVORITES!!(7/2/24)

Into the Black Hole by EricaABlair

In the near future, humans have colonized Mars, joined pirates in space, and divided Earth into two vastly different nations: The United Empires and Liansa. When a mission to Mars goes awry, Ailee Chambers---a Sergeant in Earth's Interstellar Force---is left for dead in a spaceship with no life support, and an alien contraption wrapped around her neck. She is rescued, but there's no cause for celebration, because her saviors are pirates, disgusting monsters who kill Martians and Earthers for sport. Yet, when the Captain of the pirates' ship, Felix Oringo, enlists her help to unravel the plans of Boss---the leader of all pirates---Ailee begins sympathizing with her snarky captor. Boss claims he will liberate Liansans from their dictatorship, but Ailee remains unconvinced. After all, what do men in power want? More power. However, in her quest to unveil the leader's plans, the irresistible Boss falls for her, complicating her relationship with Felix, her loyalty to the United Empires, and matters of the heart. For the first time in history, Mars and Earth combine forces to eliminate Boss and retrieve Ailee---why is she so important?---and it's a toss up as to who makes it out alive. * * * Ranking: #5 in femmefatale
