As one of Her Majesty's Fire-keepers, the soal (solar coal) Viridian LeVoy collects provides energy and safety to thousands, and a paycheck that gives her the first real freedom she's ever had. But soal is growing scarce, and with it Viridian's own hope for a future she gave up everything for. 
        
  Riding the chaos of a looming energy crises, the Guild, the most infamous burgling syndicate in the empire, have resurfaced. Like all Fire-keepers, Viridian is in the way of their underground energy market. Targeted and without backup, she's chased into the unknown Far-Flung Territory, her own energy reserves near empty, and not only her job but everything she's come to love at risk. But don't worry, blokes: things can, indeed, get worse. 
  
  Among the massive forests and faultline-vapours of the Far-Flung Territory, Viridian stumbles upon two world-shattering discoveries: the true nature of not only soal, but the empire it fuels. Suddenly, all her loyalties - to her past, her country, and those she loves - are called into question. Problem is, neither the Guild or the Empire want her making up her mind. They've plans of their own. Perhaps even with each other. 
        
        ~~~
        
        Inspired by the land Down Under, the aviatrix of the 40s, and the leaps in space exploration taking place today, THE FIRE-KEEPER combines retro-futuristic rocketship dogfights, deadly megafauna, a dash of wild-west adventure, and a good dosing of snark. Action-packed and emotional, it will appeal to fans of action/adventure and speculative fiction such as FIREFLY, AGENT CARTER, and WYNONNA EARP.

The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body.

Lunar Virus ✔️ by its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge by Neptondoodle

Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.

Thistle | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!

Bound by Stars by StayArmyStarmy

In a galaxy far from Earth, where stars sparkle like jewels in the sky and vast alien worlds pulse with life, two species stand on the brink of conflict. The Z'hara, majestic winged beings who thrive among the skies of a lush, vibrant world, and the Thalirians, aquatic creatures of unmatched grace who live beneath the surface of distant oceans, have always lived in parallel, separated by the vastness of space and their very different environments. But the delicate peace between them is now threatened by an emerging danger-an unknown cosmic force has begun to tear the fabric of their worlds apart, endangering both their people and the natural resources they rely on to survive. When a cataclysmic event forces the two species to confront the reality of their impending destruction, two individuals from opposite sides of the galaxy are thrown together. Ciela, a brave Z'hara warrior whose wings carry her high above the clouds, is sent to the depths of the ocean on a mission to save her planet's future. Kaelen, a mysterious and gentle Thalarian, is tasked with safeguarding the fragile ecosystems of his world. Though they come from different realms, neither can deny the pull of something greater than their responsibilities-a connection forged by fate and, perhaps, something even older than the stars themselves. As danger looms closer, Ciela and Kaelen's growing bond, despite the overwhelming odds, begins to transcend the boundaries of their species and cultures. But as their feelings deepen, so too does the resistance from their peoples-unwilling to accept such an unprecedented union. In a galaxy torn by ancient prejudices, will love be enough to bridge the divide, or will they be forced to sacrifice everything for the survival of their worlds?
