The swarm.
A unitary force of countless entities.
Nightmarish creatures from the darkest depths.
All working towards a greater purpose.
Simply fulfilling their role in a complex system.
Abducted from the world I know I am now forced to become a part of this.
Forced to help these horrors to increase their power.
However, they are not mindless killers.
There might be a way for me.
I could influence them from the inside.
To prevent that anyone has to die.
To protect the ones I love.
Maybe I can adjust.... more>>

There's only one thing in the entire world that Hakuta Yamamoto loves. And that's video games. They're fun, he's great at them, and they've never let him down before. On the flipside, there's only one thing he truly hates as well, that being gyarus. They're obnoxious, annoying, and really don't have any care for proper etiquette. ... more>>

The biggest offender of them all has to be Shiuka Otari. She is as popular as she is annoying to him. Her and her friends are always speaking way too loud in class and the way they dress is terrible. Despite being in the same class, fortunately he's able to find solace in that they sit at opposite sides of the room.

However, due to circumstances involving his father, the boy finds himself closer to her than he'd like. Now the boy would love nothing more than to rage quit on life, but perhaps this is the co-op situation he never knew he needed?

Ryan was walking home from work after a long day of work when he got hit by a truck and killed. Instead of finding himself in the afterlife, he wakes up in the black abyss of space as a spaceship. To make matters worse, his new body barely functions and without the help of others he is doomed to die again. Can he find the right people to bring repair him, or will he doom them to die with him?... more>>

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

A fantasy tale of schoolgirls, smugglers, alchemists, pirates, queer attack, bellwitches, ancient necromancy, gender outlaws, fascists, smoldering romance, trans sisterhood, intrigue, smut, spies, knife girls, mysterious resonances, herbalists, spirit magic, loyalties put to the test, and some other stuff...... more>>

Eli—or Ellie, as she would like to be called, someday—is a young alchemy student from a bleak border town of a fascist empire. When she realizes that the socially sanitized alchemy being taught to her at University could be jailbroken and made to serve more subversive purposes, she faces a choice between safety and her own embodiment.

Like every child of Opali, Mila chose her gender. City of bells, pirates and rebels, Opali stands beyond the Imperiat’s reach and in defiance of its control. Stigmatized for a violation committed by her father, Mila nurtures a broken dream that will lead her to the very gates of her people's ancient enemy in search of what she needs.

For as long as she can remember, Roxa has been training to be a secret operative and sworn blade of the Duchy of Waterfalls, a mountain fastness to the north of the Imperiat. Her mother, the Countess Monir, renown as a sorcerer and a diplomat without peer, has just accepted a post in the Imperial Capital, and Roxa sees an opportunity to finally escape her mother’s shadow and choose her own path—if war and treachery don't fuck it up for her, first.

By day, Aralia Cordivar is a technocrat, alchemist, and University researcher without peer. By night she plays the game of masks and knives. If she can keep the secrets of her past buried just a little longer, she may be able to finally achieve her agenda.

All their paths and wits and secrets and lies will intertwine at Harmine University, deep within the Imperiat, where the powerful prey on the vulnerable and loyalties are traded like coin.

[This story contains sexual content and is meant only for those who are 18 or older.]

[This story is a trans story. It is also a lesbian romance story with (mostly but not only) lesbian smut and sexual content. The sexual content is absent from most of the first twelve chapters and then picks up very abruptly after that. Themes that run through this story, including some of the sexual content, are: power exchange, sex across a power differential, ambiguous consent or ambiguous ability to consent, and other such ethically dicey situationships. If that isn’t something you are comfortable with, this story may not be for you. I will put content warnings at the beginnings of chapters.]

[Anyway, this story has been so much fun to write and I hope you enjoy reading it. I was heavily influenced and inspired by amazing trans author Casey Plett and the queer fantasy marvel that is The Traitor Baru Cormorant, by Seth Dickinson. I highly recommend both.] <<less

The summoning circle was ready. Each sigil had been meticulously drawn. Candles lined the edges, and the golden chalice awaited his sacrificial offer. Gellin Zelian was ready. Almost instinctively, he knew that he stood on a precipice. Though whether it would be his first step toward power or the beginning of his downfall, he wasn't sure. What he was certain of was that, for better or worse, it would be a... transformative experience.

A smutty 18+ trans story with plot! This is a reimagining of the original Succubus Tail, starting out with the same concept as the original but quickly diverging into its own story. (This is not a sequel, and reading the original story isn't required.) The smutty parts are admittedly a bit sparse in the first few chapters, but pick up later! While there is a lot of nudity, teasing, and such throughout, I've marked the more *explicit* chapters with an [E].

In a world of reverse gender norms, this is the story of an orphan named Aldar Xane, who becomes a saint. Aldar is given memories of his past life on his birthday, but these memories are specific to the corresponding year he lived in that past life.... more>>

At the age of 18, Aldar's adventure begins by becoming the healer of a squad assigned to him. This squad will help him mature into his role as he starts off as a saint candidate on the path to becoming a saint.

NOTE: This story is slow-paced, with mature content that will not appear in every chapter. The focus will be more on slice-of-life in a medieval setting.
NOTE: The protagonist receives visions once a year. These are more influential than definitive; he doesn't realize they are from his past life, so he won't become overly masculine. His character will progress and develop with the story. <<less

The year is 2024. Alan Malloy is a sci-fi nerd attending uni somewhere in the vicinity of Essex. Moreover, he's a nerd who has serious toxicity issues. And worse still, he's been a menace to the nerdy girls of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth since he arrived. He is, by all accounts, a incel. He's on a downward spiral which is slowly killing his future. He's dropping classes, and his smarts are going to waste in a downwards spiral that will ultimately lead him nowhere. He has failed as a man. There is a answer though. Unfortunately for his current existence, that answer is the secret basement under Dorley Hall, where bad boys become... more>> good girls, whether they like it or not.

In Alan's case, Space isn't the Final Frontier. But that Frontier will still be made in a basement. Just not a Hollywood one.

Based on The Sisters of Dorley by Alysongreaves, "Dorley: The Next Generation" is a exploration, analysis, and deconstruction of nerd culture, gender identity, the nature of friendship and family, the psychology of toxic nerdom, and the author's own personality. Dark, psychological, and very gender-bendy, this story is my attempt to take the lessons I've learned from writing fanfiction for nearly a decade and use it to create a multilayered story that I hope will entertain. <<less

[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it was obviously about violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]
__________________________
Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone –... more>> Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

Disclaimers:
- Short story. Story ends after climax event. ~55k words. 10 Chapters. Character focused. Lore-light.
- Since this is a short story, the setting and world will only be fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters, and so the world is not meant to be particularly immersive. For this work, immersion is driven by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in 3rd person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts in [ ] or in italics.
- Content warnings: This story has some R18 content (<5k words), lots of Strong Language, and a very small amount of Gore.
- The story is undergoing proof reading. Current progress is 5 of 9 chapters complete. Chapter 10 will be posted after proof reading is complete. <<less

An all-expenses-paid trip across an Empire, fully sponsored by the King? Comes with a first-class ticket on board the Orient Express? And a murder case to solve in your free time?! What kind of isekai travel package is this??... more>>

When a sabotage stops the Orient Express dead in its tracks, Saintess Rasputina and Princess Anastasia suddenly find that their trip may be more than they bargained for. Then, a lady is found stabbed to death along the corridor of a first-class carriage—with no sign that the murderer has escaped the train. Except she had assumed another passenger's identity, and all fourteen passengers recorded in the Conductor's list are still very much alive. Who is she? And more importantly, who murdered her?

Worry not, for we have the three worst minds on the case—the genderbend fake Saintess with the sole purpose of scamming the Empire's gold, the transmigrated princess embarking on the most exciting isekai adventure of her life, and the sidekick who was roped into this disaster of a train! Together, they shall solve a murder on the Orient Express...?
