Satellite by Lilas___

[Tsundere x Reader] One second she was just a simple nurse, tending to her patients and doing her job. Just another Tuesday as she would say. Then the next she dies and wakes up to drug-addicted, violent, and bloodthirsty people (if she can even call them people) attacking her fellow colleagues and anyone who wasn't infected by a strange drug called TAP. (Y/N) gets unwillingly connected to the horrid and mishandled experiments of the large pharmaceutical company known as Satellite and is forced to put up with the rude and immature Drake Blackwell who becomes her bodyguard. She becomes an asset to the company and potentially the answer for all of the harm that Satellite has created. And all it took was a bullet to the head. #1 in scifihorror 9/3/2023 #1 in tsunderxreader 9/24/2023 - I don't own cover art - Minor grammatical errors - Mature Audiences Started: August 2, 2023 Ended: October 29, 2023

Crash Landing by The_Autistic_Writer

*Book #1 In The Crashing Series* A long time ago, people used to think that Earth would be taken over by aliens. That we would all be destroyed from their advanced technology and uncaring demeanor towards Earthlings and our entire mass population in general. That we would be picked off like mice in a locked maze, all fighting to save ourselves, all trying to get to the cheese that was freedom. But we didn't know that the only thing that would destroy us would inevitably be ourselves. We didn't know that our planet was dying before our very eyes and our countries were at constant war with each other, each fighting for more power. More money. More everything. We didn't know....Until it was too late. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Set in the year 2655, Earth has been completely demolished by poverty, famine and war, leaving nothing behind but a handful of survivors and most of the population relocated to space stations. Onboard the Celestial, one of the main stations in the galaxies, is 21 year old Mabel "Mae" Minerva. Forced to board the Celestial as a child many years ago along with her younger sister, Mae has always felt out of place in the galaxy, always preferring to spend her time rebuilding old space equipment then seeking the company of other humans. Though when a rumor is spread that her mother may be alive back on Earth, Mae springs into action to steal an armored spacecraft in hopes to save her mother from an unnatural death back on Earth. But when her miscalculations and malfunctioning ship takes her off course, she crash lands on a planet deemed to be uninhabitable. Until she meets an alien who burns hotter then the sun and who knows too much, and too little, about her kind.

Whisper by BearGoRawr

What would you do if you knew the answer to everything and anything? Not just simple answers to simple questions, but any question about the past, the present, and even the future. Who was the first female astronaut in space? Valentina Tereshkova Where was the first dinosaur fossil found? Sussex, England How old are you Miss Wang? 8 years old, 11 months, 3 weeks, and 1 day. What are your parents' full names? Jinhai Johnathan Wang and Chunhua Charlotte Hu. What are my parents' full names? William Peter Jefferson and Rosemary Wendy West. What was my 2 second childhood pet? A black sable ferret. What was its name? Pepper. Director Jefferson smiled, though still a little bit skeptical, he was almost sure that this little girl had a gift. Of course further research will truly determine if she has a gift, and if she doesn't she'll be dropped. "I'll happily help Clarise, Mr. Wang." Director Jefferson stuck his hand out to Mr. Wang who was looking out the window, not at the director nor his daughter. Clearing his throat, Director Jefferson pulled back his hand and knelt down to little Clarise's eye level, "Are you ready to come with me?" With all her bags packed and all the proper paperwork sorted out, Clarise was free to go with Director Jefferson. To go BEYOND.

Summoning United Federation of Planets by earthfatking

Humanity had long struggled with its darker impulses, wars, destruction, and the looming threat of extinction. But with unparalleled resilience, humans rebuilt, united under a single banner, and reached for the stars. By 2288, the humans, under the banner of the United Federation of Planets had risen to become a galactic power, a galactic civilization that spanned the Milky Way. Yet, despite their monumental achievements, they found no trace of any other sentient species at their level. The universe, vast and unfathomable, appeared to be silent. For some, this was a cause for wonder, but for many others, it was a source of existential dread. Centuries old theories such as the "Great Filter" and "Rare Earth", long held as speculative musings, now felt all too real. Perhaps intelligent life was a cosmic fluke, a rarity so improbable that humanity stood alone at the pinnacle of evolution. But everything changed just before the Federation's historic voyage to Andromeda (M31). As their science vessel prepared for its journey across 2.6 million light years, something unprecedented occurred. In a flash, space itself seemed to twist and fold, as the Milky Way merged with another galaxy in instant, one far larger and older than their own. Now, in this strange, limitless frontier, humanity's greatest adventure was only just beginning. Would they adapt and survive, or uncover something beyond their wildest understanding? Only time would reveal the truth... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily influenced by Nihonkoku Shoukan by Minorou, Anime GATE and various nation summoned novels here in wattpad.

Supernal by MattMacBride

A discredited biologist joins the fight to keep Earth safe when aliens reveal the shocking origins of mankind ... and their evil intentions are uncovered. Dr Toby Jardine's much-derided theory of 'Intelligent Design' is proven correct when he takes part in a clandestine meeting with extra-terrestrials. The encounter aboard the USA's Orbital Construction Facility results in a sensational disclosure; an ancient race of highly intelligent super-rodents played God to create and exploit life on Earth as a food source. With Darwinism debunked and the world's religions undermined, the danger of worldwide upheaval is extreme. A worried US President decides the revelations, and the very existence of the aliens must be kept secret at all costs. But when Toby discovers the seemingly benign visitors have an evil ulterior motive for their visit, he and his colleagues are forced to take drastic action. The unarmed team on the facility must find a way to eliminate the threat while maintaining complete secrecy ... or risk plunging the population of Earth into chaos.
