I thought I knew what it meant to be human, until I crossed those boundaries.
I believed I knew my limits, until I expanded all I am.

My senses mapped over hers, and I learned how incredible her alien world was for us.
Her senses mapped over mine, and she learned how wondrous my alien world was for us.
Our worlds overlap. Our minds awaken and link together. Our hearts synchronize.
Our realities hold truth, in separation and in unity.
This is all because of what she did to me, and also what I decided for myself thereafter.

She and I are the most unusual pair we've ever known, a Human and an Altiri, each far apart, yet brought together by an incredible power. This is where my story begins. It's more than a crazy romance story; our intertwined lives is the embodiment of how I live, in this crazy world we call normal, with our secrets left untold.

This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. No life is perfect. No relationship is easy. Still, I would never trade it for anything. Join me, as I breathe life into these moments, memory by memory.

An action/adventure type story, with a bit of saucy romance to come later on. This picks up from exactly where my other story, 'The Shard', left off, which is a short prelude to this one, introducing a few of the main characters and their back stories, you may want to read that first to get acquainted.

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)
I will add the dungeon core tag when I start posting Dungeon Integration.

From Scorpio With Love

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book Three of
the Cosmos Shared Universe. A place which
is not as desolate as it appears.

Wei is a dungeon core and finally getting a planet of his own. However, despite his best efforts, he can’t gain a form. The only thing he can do is protect the interests of the Dru’dru natives of the planet, a task that seems almost impossible with the recent development coming to light.
Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less

Aria is deep in the closet that she could feel the icy winds of Narnia. She prefers that to the alternative of coming out. ... more>>

For her, visiting comicons, watching favourite girl ships was an outlet.
Getting into a LARP marriage with a beautiful girl was an indulgence.
Driving the girl home was impulsive.
Now, Aria's carefully crafted world is upside-down.

Her new girl has allure, and, devotion to coax her guarded heart to come out.

Forging a romantic bond with the girl should be easy, right? Except for the scorn from homophobes, and disapproval from her own family and finally, Aria's own mind.

How far could she trust a girl who claims to be an ACTUAL alien and that their LARP marriage to be real?

Threats both local and extra-terrestrial, keep piling up, but a year and a day, and Aria's life should be back to normal. Her new girl should be gone.

Except, Astra intends for more from the adorable human girl. She could never leave the side of her new wife. And she would do anything it takes to make her fall in love with her.

============================

Author Notes:

The story is set in contemporary, present-day world with slight elements of sci-fi, futuristic technology, even those are confined to space opera genre.

This story contains, elements of coming out, homophobia, transphobia, subtle misogyny, every day microagressions and the acceptance of self.

The MC is a dumbass and her struggles are, at times, adorable and at time cringeworthy with an equally baffled and hot roomate/wife. Her fears range from extemely valid to superficial ones. This is the story of an MC who knows what she is but lacks the courage to accept.

There is a transcharacter but the revelation and implication comes late in the story. Hence I have not added a trans-tag, so as to not mislead readers. <<less

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.

Lumia Emelisse will never leave her home planet. A weak heart made sure of that. She's content with it, unlike her twin brother, Sol, who has spent his life studying the stars. He wants to escape to distant cosmos, but Lumi is fine where she is in her shop... right?
That is until an ancient army takes over the entire planet in seconds, lead by a queen of her darkest nightmares, and she seems to have a vendetta against the Emelisse family specifically. Lumi escapes only through dumb luck, but soon finds herself on the other side of the universe.
Lumi is in an unknown galaxy, surrounded by aliens and fighting a ticking clock to get anyone to listen to her pleas. All she has is a dysfunctional group of smugglers to help her, each caught in their own personal war. Yet, when she learns the Queen has a closer tie to her family than she first realized, she knows Sol will be the one to pay for it. The answer to why leads to a mysterious song calling out from somewhere between the folds of space. It promises a power that could bring an end to these tyrannical monsters, or offer the already powerful queen an undefeatable godhood.
Between criminal organizations, exploding cats, and weapons that change form on a whim, Lumi's only choice might be to follow the music to the very edges of the universe - but how much of herself will she lose along the way? <<less

Humanity was close to conquering the Galaxy at the peak of its power. All the other species were either absorbed into the fold, becoming citizens of the Hegemony of Men or were pushed towards the edges of yet-to-be-explored parts of the Milky Way. But everything has its end... and the end for Humanity came way too suddenly. Nobody knows, not even today, what caused the collapse more than 5,000 years ago, but one thing is certain: No humans have ever been sighted again since then. The Galaxy was changed once more, giving birth to new empires, climbing up on the ruins, left behind their hated foes, the ones who previously conquered them.... more>>

Today, those who call themselves the descendants of Humanity, those who carry their genes, a result of their previous interbreeding of species, are ostracised, hunted, and persecuted by the rest of the Galaxy. Sylen belongs to such a branch of "humans," carrying genes from his ancestors and from another species. A mix. A hybrid. A mutant. She traveled with her grandfather, salvaging, searching for old tech from a bygone era, and trying to get by. They were just sailing back home after a successful find when another life-changing event happened right before them; The rediscovering of a living, breathing human out in the emptiness of space!

Maybe the answers to what happened back then are just around the corner, or maybe it should have been left unanswered all along. <<less

Liara T'soni did not believe in luck. After all that had happened, what she believed in was redundancy. With the Reapers on the way, she didn't put all her hope in her lover. Most of it? Yes. But not all.... more>>

Some plans, she told others about. Such as her preparation of knowledge repositories. Time capsules for the next cycle, intended to prepare future species for the Reapers. Others, she told no one about. Sponsoring the Andromeda initiative was one such effort, as it would ensure that some of their species would be far beyond the reach of the Reapers. She told no one, so that no one would ever know to follow them in the first place.

But...there were other projects, ones she didn't mention to anyone. Not out of security concerns, but because they were utterly absurd. Shots in the dark, mystical gobbly-gook, things she didn't expect to work but threw a few million meaningless credits at...just in case. So when the sacrificial guinea pig of one such experiment finds themself waking up in their younger body, years before the Reaper invasion? Well, that was one no one was expecting to work. Unfortunately, the person that went back wasn't the one that was meant to. Fortunately? That person was Oriana Lawson... <<less

Very queer/poly, very fluffy, very not cisgender story about falling in love and talking about feelings. Heavily influenced by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Her Xenogenisis series mostly, where aliens came to earth to make human hybrid babies because they wanted cancer, only without all the weird consent issues she loves.

This will be mostly me working my way through interesting ideas without much of anything in the way of story arcs or core conflicts other than what feels interesting within the fiction at the time. When doing tabletop RPG stuff I'm a very 'fly by the seat of your pants' GM so this is that blasted into writing.

Content warnings:
*death of a parent
*cancer
*mention of transphobic parents
*mention of "chasers" and trans fetishizing
*panic attacks
*autistic meltdown and sensory issues/overload
*discussion and practice of self governed mind alteration
*alcohol consumption
*Discussions of STDs and safe sex practices
I'll add more here as I see them or am notified I missed something. Any chapter bigger stuff comes up will also have notes at the beginning.

*I use "gender bender" loosely, less as in genre tropes of forced or accidental transformation. More in that there will be gender fuckery, but it will be done under conscious control of the character for their own ends (mostly comfort in fluid identity or messing with cis people).
*"Genderless Protagonist" should be nonbinary, but that's not an option😜

This is my first real attempt at creative writing so it’s rough but it feels nice to put out there. Please feel free to toss constructive criticism my way as you think of things.
