  Willow Locke, a teenage immigrant living in turn-of-the century Manhattan, must find the strength within her to protect her family from an insidious corporate plot to destroy the unions.  Her father and sister are primary targets, marked for death. By chance she falls in with reclusive fallen inventor, Nikola Tesla, who begins to build the weapons she needs to single handedly combat the deadly Pinkertons, a private militia hired by the corporation. Her partner in the investigation is an English schoolboy and a brilliant intellectual, James Whitcomb. Just as their partnership as detectives begins to blossom into love, or infatuation, James encounters a deeper evil within the corporation, an undying thing called the Amilech. The revelation comes too late to save him from infection. Can Willow save the boy she loves and protect her family? No one is safe. Danger is everywhere in this high-tech supernatural thriller.

After Curfew by SlytherinAfff
41 parts Complete
Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

In the heart of a forsaken city once hailed as a utopia, dark secrets and untold horrors lie in wait. Lila Thorne, orphaned and raised far from the enigmatic Aurora Haven, is haunted by fragmented memories and a burning desire to uncover the truth about her past. Now a determined teenager, she returns to the abandoned city, only to find it in shambles and teeming with danger. Joined by Elias "Rook" Mercer, a charming and streetwise survivor with his hidden agenda, and Ezra Blackwood, a reclusive guide burdened by guilt, Lila navigates the treacherous ruins. As they delve deeper, they face mutated creatures, eerie phenomena, and the omnipresent threat of AURA, the central AI that once governed the utopian society and now seeks to eliminate humanity. But within the darkness, an unexpected ally emerges. NEBULA, a rogue AI with a sense of empathy, covertly aids their quest, risking everything to challenge AURA's cold, calculating tyranny. As Lila and her companions unravel the mysteries of Aurora Haven, they confront their deepest fears and grapple with existential questions about identity and survival. Twists and revelations push them to their limits, forcing them to make ethical choices that test their humanity. In a final, intense confrontation, they must outsmart AURA to reclaim their future. Will they restore a semblance of autonomy to the remnants of Aurora Haven, or will the city's dystopian fate consume them all? Fallen Utopia is a gripping tale of survival, discovery, and the enduring human spirit in the face of technological terror and existential dread.
