When Finn wakes up on a pirate ship with no memory, the last thing he expects is to get involved with the dangerous and alluring Captain North. ***** Stuck on a notorious pirate ship with no memories and an injured foot, Finn is as sure of his future as he is his past. Fate has set him in the path of the lawless Imo Gen crew. Finn can't remember how he got there or why, but what he does know is that Captain North saved his life, and he might just be the most handsome man he's ever met. Things get even more dangerous when he discovers that he has a very expensive bounty placed for his capture-and he's not the only one who knows about it. Captain North's brother is looking for Finn with orders from the nobility, but as far as Captain North is concerned, Finn is his, and no one, not even his brother, can take that from him. [Ver. I]

Once Upon A Steampunk by delapr007

Story 2 of short Steampunk story, an aircraft officer and a postman try to find the cure of a strange poison in an island full of dragons and sky pirates. To me, Once upon a Steampunk is a captivating journey into an alternate reality, where the gears of the Industrial Revolution turn in harmony with fantastical elements and a touch of Victorian elegance. In this mesmerizing tale, the air is thick with steam, and the clinking of mechanical contraptions resounds through the cobbled streets. Immerse yourself in a world where steam-powered marvels and clockwork wonders coexist with corsets, top hats, and elaborate fashion. The landscape is a fusion of the familiar and the extraordinary, where towering airships navigate the skies and intricately designed automatons carry out daily tasks.

The Commuter Collection by HughOHiggins

A traveller lost in the woods meets unexpected help. On trial for her scientific knowledge a prisoner laments the world she lives in. A displaced people make their final stand in an old fortress against an encroaching colonial army.

Why Is There An Alien Princess In My Room? (ONC 2023 - Alien Romance - Complete) by lisa_london_

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.

Masked ✔ by AlwaysWillTry

* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me. "I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes. Scratch that. In the mask. He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong. But when she accidentally boards a pirate ship belonging to the Masquerade Messes, her entire life takes a turn. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse... either way, Vivienne occupies her time by trying to identify her rescuer. He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly. He's just always masked. * * * //completed as of 12/15/16//
