He finally gets the opportunity he has been looking for when NASA gets the funds to bring him to earth. He gets to be a regular kid, after adapting to normal society. He lives with a family for the school year and attend the local school. He has so many things he wants to do, go swimming, hug a tree, meet his parents. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan, but when in Rome..
Elias begins to face problems, and soon NASA is trying to send him back to Mars. Back to seclusion. Away from the world he has dreamed of and the one he yearns to stay on.

His only clue is that it's all somehow related to his absentee father who is as big of a enigma to him as are the peculiar, mostly illegal and sometimes downright appalling and borderline psychotic 'lessons' his mother keeps subjecting him to. He hides in plain sight by pretending to be normal or average with a different name and appearance in every new place they move to within just a few months as per his mother's rules but as he's gotten older, he's come to think about it all to be nothing more than his mother's paranoia as it's significantly becomes harder and harder to play this game.

Mitts (OLD VERSION)
**ORIGINAL VERSION, NO LONGER ACTIVE BUT COMPLETED** *spoilers if you are reading current version* Jake Mitchell wanted nothing more than to be the nameless guy you pass on the way to your afternoon chemistry lecture every Friday. Familiar, but unknown at the same time. Just enough recognition to remember, but knowing so little that you make up stories for him in your head. That's the only reason he took the offer from Everett University to be a left-wing forward on their Division 1 hockey team. A forgotten team really. Dead last in their league and close to dead last in the division. It was just something to help pay the tuition, but nothing much to get any recognition. He gets to keep playing hockey, he can afford to go to an out-of-state school, and he can remain unknown. It's his perfect game plan. Or well it was. Until the worst possible series of events happens. The team wins their first game in 13 years, shocked fans catch Jake talking to a popular pro player after a game, and an unfortunate tweet blows up. All leading to Jake's face being plastered on every Twitter feed, Instagram story, and social media outlet that you can think of. His worst nightmare comes to life in real time. Now with the help of his team, he has to figure out how to deal with his newfound fame while trying to get his bachelor's in chemical engineering and win as many damn hockey games as he possibly can before time runs out and he has to run again. Except, maybe this time he won't have to.Complete
2038: Vincent
(All text was transferred from google docs; none was stolen.) This story is inspired by the video game Detroit: Become Human. All credit goes to the producers of it, and I am not trying to steal any of their content from the game. About: Elias; a 16 year old boy is exploring an abandoned science lab with his friend when he comes across a time machine. He doesn't think it works, and steps inside. He is sucked into the future where the world has completely changed. He stepped out, revealing he was now in a new year: winter in 2038. Luckily, it was closed, and he went to find help. He came across Vincent, an android, who helps him explore the world in the future, and attempts to help Elias get back to 2022. However, there are obstacles. Some androids had developed a mind to kill each other. But Elias helps Vince survive, while Vince helps Elias travel back. Elias develops a close connection with Vince, and wants to stay with him in the future even though it is dangerous. He doesn't want to leave Vince in the world, but can't bring him back with him in the past since there are parts on Vince that aren't invented and will disintegrate. They need to figure something out, but what? Read on to find out... Notice: This story contains mentions of heavy violence, light gore, fear, suicide, and bugs. If you have trouble with these, please do not continue reading. If not, enjoy, and thank you! Notice 2: DO NOT SHIP ELIAS AND VINCENT. Vincent is technically considered an adult while Elias is still a minor. I will kick your shins if you ship them because it is extremely illegal to do so. However, you may think of them as a father and son because that's kind of how Hank and Connor are, though they are both adults. :)Complete

The Sea and Land
It's a slightly different version of the Descendants movie. it's also gay, heads-up. I own nothing except for the plot twists. This is some of Disney's work that I merged and continued, as well as twisted. Not a single thing is my own. Ocean Coulter is the "son" of King Eric and Queen Ariel. Ariel and Eric found him drifting in the ocean. He was eight years old, starving and dehydrated. They took him in and raised him like their son. He can shift from mermaid to human, has water powers, and some trouble fitting in among his people. His mother convinces him to go to Auradon Prep so he can make some friends before he is to be crowned King Ocean of Tirulia and Atlantica. He would still be going to Auradon and his parents will be the regent, urgent stuff being sent to him at the school, until he graduates that year. There, he meets a beautiful boy with long brown hair. And he might fall in love. As well as get into trouble. I believe that you'll like it. Once again, only Ocean is my character. Do not give me any credit, this is Disney's with a fanfiction plot-twist. His parents are a pirate and a witch. She seduced one of them and gave birth to Ocean to him on the Isle. Neither of them wanted him so another guy took him in, raising him but never giving him food, so he had to fight for it. When he was eight, he got injured and sent to drift out to sea where Ariel found him.Complete

No Body Minds, Or: Transmigrating Into the Villain but He's Still There!!!
Mars was finally having a good mental health streak when he choked on lo mein and died. At least The System is there to give him a second chance. Unfortunately, many transmigration novels involve a system glitch, and this one is no exception. Rather than hopping into the mind of the hero's best friend, like he intended, or as a fish, which would at least be funny, he's stuck in the body of the story's main villain. Worse, the original villain is there with him! And fully aware! And in complete control! Also, it becomes super gay so stay tuned for that. TW: Main character has depression. Story will tackle suicide. There will be no graphic depiction of any suicidal acts. other TWs: Graphic descriptions of violence and torture, lack of autonomy, body dysmorphia, unethical experiments, profanity, explicit depictions of sex (eventually) pls comment if there are any TWs I missed
