The Zyphin Legacies: Book One
    
Completed
    
Kiros Asaphath is a traveler. But not just any traveler. She's the youngest explorer in the Uphro galaxy. She's been to every planet, from Minu to Edina. She's resourceful, intelligent, clever, and cunning.
        
But she's not perfect.
        
When she crash lands on a planet she's never been on, in a galaxy she doesn't recognize, it will take all of her wits and all of her strength to survive.
        
Not to mention the maniac who has made it his mission in life to track her down and kill her, or the past she never knew about coming to haunt her. 

One thing's for sure: she's in for one heck of an adventure.  _____________________________________________________________

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room by Sean_Browning
36 parts Complete Mature
"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

Radiant Shadows by Swil411
37 parts Complete
Sophie Taylor is a force of nature. With her sun-kissed blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a radiance that captivates everyone she meets, she seems destined for greatness-or disaster. As a fearless journalism student at NYU, Sophie's knack for uncovering hidden truths is matched only by her reckless streak. Balancing late-night parties and dangerous investigations, she dives headfirst into her latest target: VelGenics, a biotech giant tied to human disappearances and illegal trials. But her charm and defiance attract more than trouble-they draw the attention of the supernatural world. Adrian Velmount, the prince and enforcer of an ancient and ruthless vampire dynasty, is sent to silence Sophie before her investigation exposes their secrets. Cold, calculating, and impossibly handsome, Adrian is a master of control, armed with centuries of medical knowledge and a reputation that inspires fear across the supernatural realm. Killing a human should be routine-until he feels the bond, the soul connection vampires revere but Adrian despises. Sophie's innocence and recklessness clash with Adrian's precision and darkness, creating a dynamic neither of them can escape. As VelGenics escalates its experiments, Sophie becomes a pawn in a deadly game she barely understands. When she's captured and subjected to cruel trials, it's Adrian's expertise in medicine that saves her life-again and again. Despite his disdain for the bond, Adrian finds himself unable to abandon her, even as his family brands him a traitor. But Sophie's stubborn determination and fearless spirit are as dangerous as her beauty, dragging both of them into a web of betrayal and danger. With VelGenics hunting her and Adrian defying his family to protect her, their bond grows stronger-forcing Adrian to confront the humanity he's buried and the vulnerability Sophie has never known.
The Heretic of Sælonis ||A Sci-Fi Romance Novella|| by RAMayes
20 parts Complete Mature
"And what will you do if you have to destroy an entire planet to end this war? Are you really willing to become a monster?" Nierhæ turned towards me, a sombre look on her face. She already had an answer to my question, and it was one I wouldn't like. "I will become as monstrous as I must." °•°•° Take the Heretic to Sethes for public execution. Make sure she doesn't touch the ground until she arrives at Sethes. Keep her alive at all costs. It should have been a simple job for Uhnros, but maybe he should have known better. The missions he got tasked with were never easy, and having to transport a Heretic while also keeping them alive is as difficult as it could come. But he would complete his mission, just as he'd done time and time before. Allow the Regime to take her to Sethes. Keep her custodian alive at all costs because she couldn't fly herself there. Pray that the Aura will give her enough power to tear apart an entire planet. As one of the Aura's Chosen, Nierhæ had one simple task - stay alive. As long as she stayed alive, she could fight against the Sethesian Regime; her destiny had always been to end the war - the Aura itself had told her so the day her gifts manifested. Both Uhnros and Nierhæ want the same thing - for the war to be over. But when things go horribly wrong on their trip to Sethes, can they set aside their different beliefs to end it once and for all? Or will Nierhæ have to kill Uhnros so she can fulfill her destiny? ||a science-fiction romance novella|| ||open novella contest 2024 - longlist qualified|| ||content warnings and notes inside|| notable rankings: #176 in scifiromance
Trepidation: Act 1 by CashewNutt12
10 parts Complete Mature
10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)
