Something is looming over the city of Perinslaith; attacking radiowaves, attacking the very fabric of what it means to exist.
What it means to live and to die.
In a dark and industrialized vision of the near future, the opening of a tear in the fabric of the universe threatens the survival of everyone and everything. It will be those born on the boundaries and on the edges who will be charged with making the choices that could see the downfall or the saviour of the fragile world in which they subside.
Yet; with minds as fragile as the bonds which keep the city from falling, remaining whole could prove just as difficult as saving their fragmenting world before it flickers out completely.

Chaos³
My ordinary, happy teenage life ended that day. Chaos swept everything away. The end of the world? Maybe. But more importantly, it was the beginning of my new life: that of a survivor. When everything collapses, your priorities shift. What matters takes on a whole new face. The questions become raw, immediate: what am I going to wipe with after taking a dump? How will Romain see clearly once his contact lenses expire tomorrow? And Nadia-how will she continue her antiretroviral therapy? And then, in the middle of all that, a thought both absurd and out of place: will Syvannah love me? In the long run, other questions haunt me: what caused this cataclysm? A natural disaster? A nuclear war? An alien invasion? One thing's for sure: tomorrow won't be a walk in the park.![Shattered Reality of Two Worlds [Arknights Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397106032-256-k443682.jpg)
Shattered Reality of Two Worlds [Arknights Fanfic]
"We never anticipated the worst-case scenario. No one imagined this day would come-and now, unprepared and disoriented, we find ourselves on an unfamiliar world." "Are we no longer in ours home?" Everything changed in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the world we knew was gone. Are we truly still on the same planet? All we can do now is look upward, confront the unknown, and keep moving forward-into a world that offers no clear answers, only questions. Beneath the scorching Sands of Desolate Deserts, Beyond the Depths of Frost-Laden Forests, Atop the Highest, most Unforgiving Peaks, Lurking within the Shadows of our own Fears, Beneath the Silence Wave of Deep Blue Sea, Even amidst the Fields of Silent, a Witness Flowers. Does this mark the trial of a god? A divine plan? Or is it merely an opportunity-ours to seize or squander as the sun sets on what once was? Let us hope we are prepared for the worst... When two worlds collide, what will follow? Will reason prevail? Will they seek mutual understanding, or will ambition and fear lead us to go M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) a War Without Reason? [Literally The Modern-Future era (Earth) x Terra (Arknights) shinanigan]

Homeless (a Hetalia Fanfic, Book Three)
"Beware the world... they're out to get you... to end your life... Beware..." These were the bone-chilling words that ran through Alice's mind the last time we met her. Now, she is plagued by much worse than just creepy messages from a disembodied voice. The solution to her plight evades her around every twist and turn, try as she might to catch and hold onto the answer. Meanwhile, it does appear as though the world is out to get her. First, she dealt with countries from another dimension; then, her troubles lay in the Darkness, the embodiment of all that is evil. Finally, the nations are keeping busy with struggles that are coming from... humans? Ordinary, non-magical, everyday humans? This isn't X-Men, so what gives? Come along and search with Alice as she struggles to comprehend matters of the world as well as matters of the convoluted heart. The answers might just be right there in front of your face... Rated PG-13, though I'm willing to bet some parts will be more R-rated. I shall put warnings up just in case. Cover is taken from Pinterest and edited by Mini_Moffat. It might be changed to another cover, but until then... Warning: character death --that will make you VERY unhappy. Please do not give up hope!-- swearing, violence, espionage, awesomeness, and a multitude of references. Read at your own risk, show your support, and please appreciate all the hard work the author has put into making this book a reality.Complete
