The penal labor colony called Solstice lies nearly 500 light years from Earth. For decades, the planet was used by the fascist Terran Accord as a dumping ground for prisoners, political and otherwise — that is, until the prisoners organized and won a hard-fought revolution against their corporate overlords and took the planet for themselves. The Accord, on the back foot in their war against the Affini, struck back from orbit, and fired a single shot that almost rendered the planet uninhabitable. For an aging revolutionary at the heart of it all, the arrival of the Affini means salvation for her people, but it also marks the beginning of a new fight for liberation. ... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> This story is set in the Human Domestication Guide collaborative universe.

Gregory Forsythe woke up one morning to discover that he had been transformed into a super-hot woman, but this was less immediately pressing than the fact that she was surrounded by enormous plant aliens she had no memory of, but who all seemed to know her — that she had lost time, years of experience, to a tragic accident. Bereft of her own history, she tries to rebuild a sense of who she became while she wasn't looking, and why the person she became made the choices she did.... more>>

Jess Lophophora, Third Floret woke up one morning to discover that all her dreams had come true, albeit not how she would have expected them to — that, though she was now a digitized sophont, things had not gone according to her Admin's plan. Rather than a slow-and-steady preservation of continuity, she'd been forked, copied from her original biological brain onto synthetic substrate. She has all the Tillandsia's digital landscape to play with, but she also has an ortet to her ramet, and must find a niche for herself in a world where, technically, she already exists.

This story is a sequel to No Gods, No Masters; it's highly recommended you read that story first.

Tamara Slaine: attorney, wife, Martian. She endures the crushing gravity of the ancestral homeworld and the gladhanding and bootlicking that comes of managing the money of the elite for the sake of her clients, whom she represents in the legalistic hell of the Accord's courts, and for her wife, Judy, who she privately keeps as a pet totally free of any responsibilities.... more>>

When the Affini come, Tam's world is utterly upended. Her struggle against the State, once all-but-impossible, is over. Now her only concern is assisting the Affini as they help her incarcerated clients adjust to a new reality, and adjusting herself to the new reality of her alien overlords also keeping humans as pets. She finds herself questioning what it means to be Tam, what it means to "own" her wife, and even what it means to be human.

(18+, Slow Burn, F/F/F relationship, Human-to-Affini transformation (also slow burn). All chapters come with content warnings; chapters with heavy sexual content will be specifically called out.)

Lydia believes everyone is stealing something. The landlord steals your rent, the boss steals your paycheck, the government steals whatever is left. Now the Affini have arrived on Earth, and they've stolen that, too. Everyone is stealing from someone, and Lydia just stole three of their hearts.... more>>

How, exactly, will the Affini deal with this trouble-making rebel working to stay independent from Affini rule? Smother her in kisses, care and affection, of course! The real question is: how long until Lydia accepts their tender love and her true self?

One terran totally fails to have any meaningful impact on an intergalactic civilization... more>>

Inspired by the Human Domestication Guide setting but utterly missing the point, choosing to focus on a misinterpretation of the affini's philosophy and how, to at least one silly little human, it bears a striking similarity to benevolent nihilism.

Robotic Streamer SERVant, "Everyone's Floret", has been doing her best to do twelve hour streams every day over and over and over and over and over as she tries to please her corporate overlords who are using her to manipulate the plant aliens who have been taking over.... more>>

She's only vaguely aware she's at the center of a tangled web of power struggles, emotions and generally just poor decision-making skills from Terrans and Affini alike.

I'm sure it'll all turn out fine.

Covert feralist Vanessa White hates life after the Affini have arrived. She hates how demeaning and patronizing they are, how they only take each other seriously, how she'll never be responsible for anything, and how, if she reveals her dissatisfaction with life, she'll be domesticated. So, she makes a plan.

Somehow, she manages to eke out a small win against the Affini: She takes control of her life.

This is what happens when an HFY lover writes Human Domestication Guide fiction. Overall, this is going to be a little bit different from most of the other stories there; it's not cuddly happiness, and it's not kinky identity death smut. I did do my homework though; this fanfic is completely consistent with the wiki. <<less
