Summary
For six months, Roza has lived in the dark, obsessively tracking the meticulously sterile life of Imi, a corporate consultant who appears perfect to the world but is secretly driven by a paralyzing phobia of human filth. Driven by a desperate need to connect with Imi's pure world, Roza uses her self-taught lock-picking skills to break into Imi's minimalist penthouse. Instead of finding a sanctuary, Roza discovers a horrific crime scene: a bound, beaten man bleeding onto the pristine bathroom tile, and a plastic-apron-clad Imi punishing him for bringing "dirt" into her home. When Roza accidentally makes a sound, Imi stops scrubbing the blood and locks her cold, analytical gaze directly onto the hidden intruder.

Summary
The Northern Tribe wanted Tikaani to hide her untrained, volatile bending. Commander Zhao wanted her to be a quiet, compliant hostage. Neither of them got what they wanted.
After spitting insults at a master firebender, Tikaani is dragged down to the suffocating dark of the lower brig, bruised and shivering but entirely unbroken. She's fully prepared to rot alone or bite the throat out of the next guard who opens her cell door.
She has no idea that a disgraced prince is currently tracking her through the ship's vents, or that putting two cornered, furious teenagers in the same iron cage is about to tear the ship apart from the inside out.

Summary
"Unity, balance, all things now forgotten. Ink of the past bleeds through the canvas. The veil of reality thinning. Let not the cloak of the soul rise, yet hazard the dark. Do not delay, for time is temporary, agony shadows those unwilling to adapt. Veto the perversions of my blood. Shall you embody my life force, give light to those blinded. Mine strings send forth bearers of your curse. Aid them, for a web tears without strings. Let my voice reach you, for I'm afraid the ending hath been written. If found buried by the weight of it all, remember you are capable. Faith, over fate, Alex Lumence."

Summary
A freelance commander, four specialist Nikkes, and a secret they weren’t supposed to uncover.

Living contract to contract, their main concern is keeping the engines humming.
When a high-stakes deal goes awry, Scipio and his Belters are thrust into an unexpected partnership that puts them in the crosshairs of brutal raiders, renegade Raptures, and the long shadow of the Central Government.A grounded, tactical action-adventure with inspirations from The Expanse, Girls' Frontline 2, and Firefly.

VOSS: BREAK (Book 1) by TeresaSmith

Summary
Harper Voss had built something worth keeping in the gutters of East Halworth. A crew. A home. A reason to get up in the morning. It only took one night to lose all of it.
When a routine job turns into a bloody ambush, Harper is captured by Commander Brock Lawson and dragged into the heart of the organization that killed her father. What follows isn't imprisonment so much as systematic destruction: interrogation, loss, and the kind of violence designed to leave nothing standing. And it works. One by one, the people she loves are stripped away, until she's left with nothing but her own name and a floor to bleed on.
Then the gun comes out. And the man who broke her is the one who stops it.
Brock Lawson doesn't do mercy. What he offers Harper is something colder: ninety days to become a weapon worth keeping, or ninety days until she dies. The choice isn't really a choice. But survival never is.

Summary
The detective stepped off the train and into the set of what an Old-Worlder might've called a 'spaghetti western'. Sandrock. From the crumbling, sun-weathered and sand-beaten architecture right down to the errant tumbleweeds, the place was on the verge of becoming a ghost town. It looked bleak. Then again, when the world was black and white, things tended to look that way.
Solving the mystery of Sandrock’s disappearing water was supposed to be the final case before taking a well-deserved vacation, and things were starting out great—that is, until an unfortunate accident completely derails the investigation, forcing the detective to lie low until suspicions blow over.
While she waits and plots the downfall of the forces bleeding Sandrock dry, there's plenty of other small-time cases to keep her occupied and plenty of shady characters to throw more obstacles in her way…

Summary
Marcus Tilman followed the red line because someone wanted him to. Nick Valentine followed it because someone else was watching them do it. The Railroad doesn’t recruit with riddles. It recruits by deciding whether you should be alive by the end of the day. But in the end, everything is about the choices you make…including who you keep choosing over and over again.

Summary
He stood there, inconspicuous, confident, his hood pulled low over his face, hiding his eyes. His posture didn't suggest he felt uncomfortable or out of place. With one leg relaxed against the dirty, grayish-brown wall of the building and his hands buried deep in his pockets, he exuded a casual ease.
He's a dealer—the only one who deals in almost pure drugs. His codename: the Archangel.
When Evan first meets him, neither of them suspects that this is the beginning of something special. Something seems to connect Evan and the mysterious archangel, who hates nothing more than drugs and tries everything to keep Evan away from them.
Drawn to the archangel's freezing stability like a moth to a flame, Evan becomes the one unpredictable variable the young dealer can't control. In a gritty world dictated by addiction, violence, and shadows, they might just be each other's only salvation-if they don't destroy each other first -

Summary
The Force was never clean and neither were the hands of those who dared to try and master it.
The Skyriver galaxy is threatened by an ancient darkness. Fractured souls and forgotten warriors search for meaning amid a haunting return of what was thought long dead and buried.
As factions clash, the fragile line separating hero from villain blurs into nothingness. In a galaxy submerged beneath relentless tides of darkness and chaos, redemption is often a deadly gamble, alliances dissipate like smoke in rain, and survival often means confronting-and perhaps embracing-the very darkness you once vowed to annihilate.
*The story follows four main protagonists in a shifting first person POV tale.

Summary
(Formerly Alterity) AU All the way!
Before the Great Purge of Mandalore, Moff Gideon led Operation Underworld: a clandestine program designed to feed the Imperial propaganda machine, increase the Imperial defence budget, and ensure a steady flow of funding to the Arms Industry. Rosita Turuy was supposed to become an Imperial weapons engineer. She is brilliant, ruthless, and desperate to secure her future...until she betrays Spenc Orbar by choosing Thrawn’s help over his.
Spenc’s revenge is quiet, political, and devastating.
Buried in Coruscant’s bowels as a Drug Enforcement Agency agent, Rosita is forced to hunt bloodthirsty “tweakers” supposedly created by tainted cannis. But her new posting is not a dead end; it’s the first crack in something much larger.
As Rosita rises into the feared agent known as Death Wand, she discovers the epidemic is no accident. It is design. And Gideon does not see her as an obstacle, he sees her as the first person dangerous enough to refine his work. Thrawn identifies Gideon’s claim as a threat, though his own interest in Rosita is not without calculation. Rosita understands hunger well enough to know they are both dangerous.

Summary
Talia Quinn didn’t come to Greystone looking for a place to stay.
She came for work. For distance. For something that didn’t ask too many questions.
In a world shaped by designation and expectation, she’s learned to keep her head down—another Omega navigating a system that rarely makes space for women like her.
Greystone doesn’t care much for any of that.
The docks don’t ask questions. The pub keeps its doors open. And the people—rough-edged and working-class—mind their own business.
That should’ve been enough.
But Greystone has a way of getting under your skin.
A meal you didn’t expect. A conversation that lingers. The steady presence of three men who don’t quite fit together—and somehow do.
Silas is quiet strength.
Fintan is warmth you can’t ignore.
And Callan… Callan is a storm she knows better than to stand too close to.She tells herself she won’t get involved.
Tells herself she won’t stay.But some debts don’t stay buried.
And some bonds don’t break as easily as they should. -

Summary
Imke survives the Berghain queue, but not the night of her twenty-fifth birthday. She wakes up in Grymforge, which feels excessive even for a bad comedown.
She has no powers, no party, and no idea how to save someone who is already marked for death – no matter how the story goes. But Imke has stomped out bad situations before, and Toril is about to learn that a terrified girl with a foul mouth can very be difficult to put down.
More pressingly: where the fuck do you get a proper döner at four in the morning in Faerûn?

Summary
All she could think about after was how close she came to being burned—
stranded in a storm at a dead bus stop with a stranger, lip split, knuckles busted open and still bleeding.Eyes like lightning caught wrong, mean and bright.
And after—
that taste sitting heavy in her mouth.
Copper.
Like she bit into something living… and didn’t spit it out.

Adventures Of The Metro by Dante_Astora

Tags
Summary
Story inspired by Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux, currently playing Exodus slowly but surely, as I am trying to deal with my arachnophobia.
This story is heavily inspired by that franchise about a world that was destroyed by nuclear warfare, forcing the people to flee to the metro tunnels, and in this story you will read through the eyes of Dumb - an experienced drifter of the tunnels - on some of his adventures, interesting moments. I might add onto his backstory later or add more POVs, but for now I just want to write scenes of him drifting through the disgusting and hostiles tunnels of the metro. -
