While this is fanfiction for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer: the Horus Heresy (it’s a whole thing ask about it at your own risk), I like to think that prior knowledge of the universe is not required for full enjoyment. If you'd like to learn more about something I mention ask about it in the comments!

Note for Warhammer nerds: this fic does take place during the Horus Heresy, however, I have never read any of the books and I do not intend to. If I commit a lore crime, you are welcome to call me out, but note that I am not bound by the cannon. (For example: I will include female space marines. If you don’t like it then please keep that to yourself! Thanks!)

This is my first story. I would appreciate if you could leave a review, so that I can improve my writing in the future. The direction of the story is mostly decided, so hopefully no writer's block. I'll try to stick to a weekly update schedule. Also, tell me if the chapters are too long, I'll try to write shorter ones. Currently I'm sticking to ~1k words/chap.

Long ago in a galaxy far far away...... more>>

A young girl is brought into the Jedi Order to be raised as one of their own. A young girl with memories from another time, another land. This girl's goal is to get a comfortable position within the order, but with war looming on the horizon, and distasteful acts across the galaxy, much work must be done as she comes into her own as a Padawan of the Jedi Order. <<less

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fae of Yore, Cybernetics and Corporate States, and now Vampires and Werewolves. ... more>>

Miles Lykaon was born the heir to the multi-million Fae gold Lykaon Enterprises, a prince to a metaphorical kingdom. But when tragedy struck, and his parents disappeared, he was the left alone to fend off the vultures. A tall order for a young child.

Years later and branded 'incompetent' by a ruthless trade agreement signed under the reality-altering World Court, everything seemed dire and hopeless.

All he had left was grit, wealth, and a magical martial artist butler on his side.

That is, until they appeared. Two monstrous Fae – a Vampire and a Werewolf – altering his destiny forever, in just two bites.

Now, a Vaewolf amidst Fae, Fae-humans and Corporate Overlords, Miles is about to discover worlds he hadn't even known existed.

|7X WATTPAD FEATURED| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.... more>>

***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...
