In a massive galactic civilization, stretching across multiple worlds, alien races and star systems, filled with strife, war and political maneuvering, we venture into the perilous apartment of a college drop-out.
  
  Frail and sickly scientific prodigy, Meryl "Nexus" Aidenfort is a young woman with mad scientist aspirations and a disdain for the militaristic space empire that humanity has become over the course of the last century. After dropping out of the prestigious Pantainos Academy of Science, Nexus spends her days alone, hating everyone and being hated by almost everyone in return. Her life is consumed with collecting scrap parts and tinkering with dangerously unstable experiments in her desperate attempts to change the galaxy, all on her own. The problem? Eventually, she succeeds.
  
  When our hero shatters the known laws of physics and discovers a long buried experiment conducted in secret by the United Earth Federation, she catches the attention of new friends. And of course, new enemies.

26 parts Complete
Tristan is a Quiz Bowl star. Vyrsa is from the stars. But is their interstellar romance written in the stars? *** Following a successful heist on a rival planet, Princess Vyrsa just needs to step through the Portal of Wishes to be brought straight back to her home planet Isola. But when Vyrsa steps through the portal, she finds herself on Earth, a primitive planet in a forgotten corner of the universe, with no means to return home. After having spent the night studying for an upcoming Astronomy test, galaxies, planets, and asteroids are on Tristan Conway's mind as he drifts into dreams. So he's unfazed when a strange glittering woman suddenly appears in his dorm room, convinced she's nothing but a figment of his imagination. When he finds her in his kitchen the next morning, eating his textbooks and befriending his cat, he's not so sure anymore. With no fancy alien tech at her disposal, Vyrsa will need Tristan's help to return to her faraway home planet. Ecstatic to be part of a plot reminiscent of the space movies he loves, Tristan throws himself wholeheartedly into the mission. After studies of possible fuel sources turn into Netflix binging beside her endearing host, Vyrsa's resolve to leave weakens. Maybe she'll just stay with Tristan a little bit longer... Surely nothing bad could come from it? Unless the owners of the artifact she stole figure out where she went and decides to obliterate the whole planet where she's hiding just to punish her, of course. *** This is an ONC Novella using prompt #18: You step through a magical portal thinking it's the way back home, but what you find isn't what you expected. This story is completed.
