Somewhere between his childhood fancies and the war brewing beneath the surface of society, Linus lost himself. He fears the future, as he should, and trusts no one -- as, being a pirate, he once again is best to do. But what happens when society cracks? When everyone becomes the madman, leaving Linus's fleet of pirates and a handful of militants to be the last of the sane? 

Fear is a powerful tool; religion is a loud voice. Yet, nothing is ever so black and white -- Linus knows this. He is determined to unveil the mysterious force everyone bows down to. What does he have to lose other than his life?

As A Stranger Or A Friend?: The Swallow And The Drowned Sailor by thesmolwriter45

Divided against the wishes of fate, a pair of unlikely friends or, perhaps, strangers find themselves at opposite ends of Oepus and of an uncharacteristic longing. The wheels of consequence begin to turn, plunging the world into a bloody darkness unlike any other, begging the question: what is the worth of a single life? Scattered by the harsh designs of reality, Axtapor and Mariel are forced to confront the aftermath of runaway hopes. A new struggle begins to take shape as their worlds narrow around them, and the reprieve of dreams becomes newly alluring... Directionless, they descend into the deepest parts of the mind, grasping at fate in search of the truth. But they are not the only ones searching for answers. Elsewhere on the seas of Oepus float, Captain Fay Anara and her Quartermaster, the famed Son of The Moon. Voracious, the two set sail upon the Mirage for their most ambitious pillage yet. Their take? The high seas themselves. But when the long arm of fate intervenes, reality warps, memories begin to fail, and things take a turn for the worst. And somewhere, a wailing can be heard. Faintly, faintly, a cursed door swings open once more, shattering the notions of what is and isn't possible. Are you brave enough to step through? *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, body horror, sexual content, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

Masters of the Sky by axgirl13

Celia de Visher worked her whole life for her high position in the biggest criminal cartel in the Raised Cities Confederation. But she knows that if she wants to survive in the slowly degrading world where industrialisation led to the flood that wiped most of the known land cities, she needs to aim higher. To the skies. She steals one of the few remaining skyships and heads toward the Thundering Massive - a mountain range that walls off the known territory from uncharted lands of the New World. Unfortunately, the enraged cartel boss will not let her slip away so easily. The only chance for success and achieving her explorer dreams might be siding with the current government.
