In a brazen nuclear attack, she and her daughters were murdered. Priestess Celeste Ciel went on the run, with her the last hope for a new Empress. Alone and labeled a terrorist, Celeste stowed away on the cargo starship belonging to a man nicknamed 'Moon', a loner and cynical ex-military engineer who would rather be left alone. Powerful corrupt forces feared the precious package she carried and spared no expense or atrocity to hunt her down. United by reluctant circumstance, Celeste and Moon fled across the galaxy in a desperate quest to restore the Line of the Empress. Previously titled "Children of the Sun and Moon".

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

When she finally moves beyond the deaths of her parents, she loses her grandparents to the common cold. On her journey to Northern California, she crosses paths with the arcane stranger Aiden. They soon realize what it truly means to think and what it means to know. One wrong move, and everything they have worked towards creating a better future for everyone will be for nothing.

✦ Marked: The Anatomy of Control ✦ 𝓐𝓻𝓬 7 "Not all monsters wear masks. Some wear gloves... and call it healing." Amora is dying. Her body, cracked beneath the weight of celestial chaos. Her soul, splintering more with every breath. No hospital is safe. No doctor can be trusted. The ECU is everywhere-watching, waiting, hunting. In a moment of desperation, Damon speaks a name he swore he'd never say again: Dr. Crane. Not a stranger. Not a savior. But the surgeon who carved Damon into the stitched-up weapon the ECU unleashed on the world. A man who studied pain like art-who broke boys and built ghosts. Now, to keep Amora alive, they let him in. Into their home. Into her space. Into her body. But this isn't rescue. It's control-slow, clinical, and terrifying. A scalpel hidden behind soft smiles. A predator in the skin of a doctor. This arc is the first raw descent into Damon Blake's origin... and a haunting reminder: Sometimes the greatest evil doesn't come with fire or fury. It comes with a clipboard, clean hands- and full access. 🌙 Trigger Warning 🖤 This arc contains graphic depictions of medical trauma, body horror, emotional and physical abuse, non-consensual contact under the guise of care, manipulation, and psychological torment. Themes include loss of bodily autonomy, PTSD, and survivor's guilt. Reader discretion is strongly advised. - "Even mercy can wear a mask. And not all healing comes with kindness." Rights reserved

Scarcity by S8nction

By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*
