Summary
A young man wakes up in a test tube, with no memories of anything besides basic concepts, with no knowledge of who he is, and where he is. Fortunately, a friendly entity is there to keep him company in an enclosed space, and provide him with everything he needs, for the next seventy years! Isn't that wonderful?

Summary
I used to be called Replihare—the mimic hero who could copy and fuse powers like it was second nature. I rose fast—outpaced legends. Then I got bored.
Saving people who didn’t deserve to be saved. Fighting villains who didn’t fight back. It all felt... hollow.
So I dropped the cape.
I started chasing real fights. The kind that makes your blood sing. Hero, villain—it didn’t matter. If they were worth my time, I made them bleed.
Then came the outbreak.
The dead rose. The world fell. Most heroes died screaming. The villains didn’t last much longer.
Now it’s just me out here.
No cape. No cause.
Just a mask, a code, and a straightforward rule:
Find someone worth fighting... before this world bores me to death.- Language:

Where the Pines Don’t Speak by ClareDeVee

Summary
Years after the world fell, Eira has survived everything except grief.
Raised on a remote farm after the outbreak, she's spent most of her life behind fences—with no friends her age, no place to belong, and no room for softness. After a brutal encounter leaves her scarred and isolated, a final tragedy pushes her to Jackson, Wyoming, where safety is offered—but healing isn’t.
Joel Miller knows better than to get involved. Especially not with someone more than half his age, someone already carrying more pain than most. But when Eira starts asking for things—small things like batteries, and bigger things like open gates. Joel finds himself saying yes more than he means to.
Two people, both weathered by loss, both afraid to name what they need.
This is not a love story.
But it might become one. -

Summary
After the defeat of the Zeniths and the partial restoration of GAIA in Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy believes she and her allies have earned a brief peace. But that illusion is shattered when a mysterious signal pulses through the terraforming systems. Machines across the globe begin behaving erratically, swarming in unnatural patterns, fusing into hybrid, corrupted forms, and destroying even untouched environments.
Soon, Aloy receives a terrifying confirmation from GAIA: Nemesis is not just coming—it has arrived, in fragmented form, buried in the code of the planetary system. GAIA detects its corruption spreading through networked systems and dormant AI nodes. And the worst part? Nemesis is learning, adapting, and evolving faster than anything before.

Summary
*Alternate Universe - MAJOR Canon Divergence*
Evelyn "Evie" Jones, wife of Vault-Tec Vice President Nathan Jones, appears to have the perfect life: gorgeous, unfathomably rich, married to one of the most powerful men in the world, and her infant son, Shawn, miraculously survived being born 2 months premature. But appearances are deceiving as no one knows the sprawling mansion she lives in is actually a prison. With Shawn as her only reason to live, Evie puts on a brave face and escapes into books and music.
Evie's life is turned upside down when, on the eve of nuclear war, Nate brings her and Shawn to an unfinished cryostasis vault to wait out the apocalypse. She's awoken over 200 years later by a terrifying man with a large facial scar. He murders Nate and Evie is powerless to stop him and the two people with him from stealing Shawn for some unknown reason. After barely escaping the vault with her life, she's rescued by a Brotherhood of Steel team led by Paladin Danse Taylor.
For the next 9 months Evie works to shed the chrysalis of her trauma, both physical and psychological, to emerge Evie Dernhelm: A soldier strong enough to find whoever took Shawn and force them to give her back her son.

Summary
Welcome to the world of Ordo Doloris — a sacred order where pain is divine, flesh is scripture, and obedience is salvation.
This is not a story about rebellion.
It’s a story about devotion taken too far — and the quiet, terrible cost of being made into a symbol.At the center is Ferratus: a silent vessel of worship, shaped by ritual, scarred by obedience, and revered like a relic. He does not speak. He does not question. He simply endures.
Until something breaks.
What begins as a tale of sacred surgery and immaculate suffering becomes a journey toward lost humanity — through memory, forbidden love, and the crumbling remains of a faith that demanded everything.
This is a story for those who like their dystopias ritualistic, their gods cruel, and their messiahs achingly human.

Summary
"Our greatest enemy has arrived, and we've already lost..."
53 years after a crushing defeat, hope has been reborn. After human survivors of a larger resistance find a group of Autobots, they quickly get to work bringing them back online. Despite the morale boost, they're all alone against a threat. With only 5 Autobots: Bumblebee, Arcee, Sideswipe, Cameo and Slipspace online The Resistance quickly realise they have very few options and that The Legion will be coming for them.
Their only hope is to locate Optimus Prime, Leader of the Autobots, but that is a mission far easier said than done. With very few leads on where he is, a combined team of the 5 Cybertronians and 3 humans, all of whom have complex thoughts and opinions on the Cybertronians, must put aside any differences they have to work together for survival, all in the hopes that they may one day have their freedom restored.
As they track the one time paragon of Freedom, the group find themselves making their way to the ruined and destroyed city of Chicago, unaware that the closer they get to Optimus, the closer one of The Legion's most terrifying champions comes to achieving his nefarious ends...

Summary
The world was supposed to end soon—that’s why Wooyoung refused treatment when he was diagnosed with a chronic illness. He didn’t want to burden Seonghwa, his beloved brother, with the costs, especially when they are already struggling just to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Convincing Seonghwa was one thing; getting him to accept it was another. But eventually, Seonghwa gave in—it wasn’t like Wooyoung was going to die from the illness. At least, not yet. He just didn’t want his younger brother to live each day in pain.
They should have spent their final days meaningfully, waiting for the world to end and erase them both, along with everyone else. But here they are—four years after the end of the world— with Wooyoung slumped on Seonghwa’s back, standing at the gates of a safety compound, screaming for help. Begging them to open the gates. To save his brother.
But the gate never budged. Not for the shouting. Not for the crying. Not even for the sound of someone breaking.
If only Choi San hadn’t been the gatekeeper that day.

Summary
Közeleg a vég.
A világ vékony határai szakadni kezdenek. Az idő megrekedt, Hawkins városa alatt valami ősi ébredezik. A múlt elfeledett árnyai és a jövő fájdalmas titkai összefonódnak, egybeolvadnak, hogy egy utolsó végzetes játékban teljesedhessenek ki. A sötétség nem csak kívülről támad – néhány démon az elmében születik, és emészti el áldozatát. És nem mindenki tér vissza onnan – valaki kitér a halál éles pengéjének suhintásából, mások viszont örökre eltűnnek a sötétségben.

Summary
Subaru, unable to sleep, aimlessly wandered the corridor. Noticing a familiar silhouette by the window, he approached, concerned by Reinhard's state. In the moonlight, Reinhard's face looked exhausted, etched not just with fatigue, but with a deep, unbearable pain—the kind that appears when a person confronts their most terrifying nightmares awake.
"I remembered everything," Reinhard said quietly.
Subaru didn't answer. He simply stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
In that embrace, they sought refuge from a world that had already ended.

ReinSuba in a virus-ravaged 21st-century Earth. No magic. Just survival, closeness, and silence.

Summary
I love Halo and Fallout and since Fallout's a roleplaying game I thought it'd be cool to throw someone like Master Chief in there, mostly because he breaks the S.P.E.C.I.A.L scale entirely, and I think I'm alright at writing (better at it than other art forms.) This story is basically just what I think Chief (post Halo: Infinite) would do if he got teleported without his armor to the world of Fallout, near New Vegas. It starts out in the Think Tank, as that's the only place post-apocalypse in the Mojave which has teleportation technology ~ wowowowow crazy space/time quantum entanglement particle flux dilation crazy sci-fi stuff happens and Chief is in the Big MT. He'll have to fight his way out of the Big MT, playing the Think Tank for fools, as he tries to get to Mobius for answers and escape into the Mojave. Once he's out there, it's only him, the Wasteland, and war to decide what's next.
