Fortnight by tydollazzzz

📍Lynwood, Michigan. A city built on soul and struggle-where the skyline's getting higher, but the streets stay cold. Ray just graduated and swears this summer's his last in Lynwood. He's got three brothers who ain't his blood but closer than family: Makai, Breezy, and Troy. They've all got dreams bigger than their block and problems that money might fix. One job. That's all it was supposed to be. But when one bullet hits the wrong kid, the boys' lives explode into chaos-guilt, revenge, and the kind of loyalty that burns everything it touches. Four friends. One summer. One mistake that changes everything. Welcome to Lynwood-where growing up means learning what survives after the smoke clears.

The Same Old City by Lindzaya

Imagine living in a city that does not allow you to leave at all, exploits you as a person, student, and worker from the day you are born, determines and assigns the "perfect" job for you before you are born, does not allow you any personal freedoms (unless it is alone in your bedroom or bathroom with caution). It will torture or execute, depending on the status or identity of the person, if any law is broken no matter how small or big the law is. That's the city of Dimwar. Tall, thick concrete walls around its borders prevent anyone and everyone from leaving the city- anyone who tries will be searched, chased down, and executed. One teen girl, Taylor Kensley, begins a revolution to change this and fight for the trapped, oppressed people of the city. Will she succeed-- and how long will it take? WHAT will it take? And what will she have to lose to get there? **WARNING: Contains mature scenes with mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, murder, and bigotry. Please read at your own risk or skip if you are sensitive to these topics!

Wheat City - Broken Bonds by Downtown5407

The streets of Wheat City have always been loud with ambition, betrayal, and blood-but nothing cuts deeper than family. When rising rapper Lil Rose is gunned down in an O-Block alley, the city explodes with grief, suspicion, and opportunity. For Squishie, caught at the scene and carrying the weight of secrets too dangerous to share, every step forward feels like walking on glass. For Thorn, Rose's sister, the loss cracks open old wounds and fuels a storm that threatens to consume her. And in the shadows, power players like Joseph, Ator, and Vibe circle each other, each seeing Rose's death not as an ending, but as leverage. As alliances shift and betrayals mount, the city itself becomes a battlefield-political, personal, and spiritual. Squishie finds himself haunted by choices he didn't make, Thorn teeters between rage and ruin, and Name is dragged back into Wheat City's orbit just as Joseph's empire reaches for untouchable heights. But when gods whisper, old grudges resurface, and secrets about Rose's true role in Joseph's game come to light, one truth becomes clear: broken bonds don't just scar the past-they decide the future. Wheat City - Broken Bonds is a story of grief, survival, and the fight to reclaim power in a city where loyalty is fragile, and every bond comes with a price.
