Very queer/poly, very fluffy, very trans sequel about falling in love and talking about feelings. Follows five years after the events of "Help! I'm Falling for an Alien" and it'll vaguely stand on it's own but way better if you read that first.

Ongoing standard of my writing being heavily influenced by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Attempting to have a bit more of themes around "what does consent and agency look like when connection/community is required for survival?" which she loved using to create really topsy turvy situations of dubious consent and weird power dynamics.

Also ongoing, my writing is kinda an outpouring of my 'fly by the seat of your pants' style of GM'ing RPG stuff which might fit into plot arcs and core conflicts and resolution, but no promises. Also as such, collaboration is wonderful and feel free to toss story suggestions or constructive criticism my way as you think of things.

Content warnings:
*Alcohol consumption
*Trans/queerphobia
*Federal agents and Police being bastards as they do
*More to be added as things come up

=>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).
=>Girls Love and Boys Love as it very queer and genderfluid so sometimes the pairings might wind up masc/masc or fem/fem as far as how characters are presenting at the time
=>I still need a nonbinary tag on here as lots of enbies, but that's not an option😜 <<less

You ever wake up with a hangover so bad you forget what you got it from? That how bluegrass musician Clarence Lovelace feels when he... more>> wakes up scribbling down a strange code from his dreams. The answer, will upturn everything we know about the universe, and maybe destroy society as we know it.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town in the suburbs Det. Jeffery Kovech just woke up with the more routine style of hangover, and a deep abiding self-hatred for what he gets up to off hours. Unfortunately, He's about to stick his nose in something wayy above his paygrade. <<less

Fukaze Honzo is a 16-year-old student that frequently struggles with... well existing. Set in the rather 'boring' suburbs of Takabata, in Nagoya, Honzo has a hard time trying to come to terms with himself, despite his clear privileged status in society and a friendship group. He suffers from episodes of depersonalization, with him feeling like an outsider within his own body. As he starts the second year, he finally recognizes that this gloomy and negative personality might need to change, or at least improve his outlook. Just as fortune may have it, there's an idealist, maybe even naive, senpai who invites him, and his friends to a brand new school club. ... more>>

It's called the Culture & Travel Club. A club all about making the community a better place and learning all about the world. And that all starts here, in Nagoya. Despite this, Honzo still needs to navigate the absurdities of living. One day, he might start appreciating himself. Perhaps, even someone else, too.

---------------
Warning: There are some topics that might be a bit upsetting. The characters talk about murder/manslaughter and crime as well as a vehicular accident.

There is no pattern to dropping anymore but I try on Tuesdays. This is also the first web-novel I've written, so I really have no idea if it's even adequate. I literally only started writing for fun and a month later, I have now written enough for at least someone else to read. I'm really just talking about genuine social issues that apply to both my home nation and, not trying to be patronizing, Japan too within the confines of a romcom that's wholesome enough for someone to probably ignore the issues raised.

Thanks, if you're reading this and I hope you at least had a modicum of enjoyment, if you do read the story.

Also, I know Fukaze Honzo's name makes literally no sense <<less

P.S. Nice to meet you, my name is Bogdan and I am the author of the screenplay you can read below. Before you proceed to familiarize yourself with my work, I would like to share some details.
This is not the light novel you're accustomed to seeing here. This is the screenplay for a visual novel that I, along with my friends, wrote for the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam. Below is a link to our game. Unfortunately, there is no English version available yet, but we will add one soon.
This story about Nika and Yuri is very important to me because I wrote it after breaking up with my girlfriend, and to be honest, I was shattered. At that moment, it seemed easier to die than to continue living. Overall, everything was fine for me until then, but after the breakup, I found myself for the first time standing in front of the mirror, thinking that there was no real purpose in continuing to live.

But thanks to my friends and the writing of this story, I managed to pull myself back. Perhaps my state wasn't as dire as I thought, but the support of close people and engaging in creative work helped me see a distant glimmer of hope in life.

Initially, we thought that everything would end with the jam, but after it ended, I decided that I wanted to make more out of this story. I didn't just want to tell the story of one couple, but I wanted to try to help people who are also going through a breakup and don't know what to do next. <<less

Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share. Consequently, every person has their own perspective, their own subjective experiences, and thereby, their own subjective realities. Even if the exact same story is told by two people, the details from one will differ in the other.... more>>

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences. Reed is a human being like everyone else on Earth. Lumina is an Altiri, like every one in Genosis. Both are aliens to their own world, and both have seen their own source of immense darkness in their time.

The other side of the same story might sound similar at a quick glance, but in the depths of every personal reality, very little is ever the same. Welcome to the far side of the universe, in a safe corner of the world you've probably heard nothing about. Welcome ~ to Genosis. Welcome ~ to The Other Side. <<less

~Basically a slow-burning 'magical' science fiction within a RPG-esque fantasy setting*~... more>>

An operation failed. One survived. Now a foreigner lost and stranded somewhere someplace, alien yet familiar, fantastical yet real. Found and rescued by another, similar but distinct; departed and never seen again. Left alone, yet again. Alien among aliens. Forced to hide and blend in… to a point; hunted, yet not really. Young, yet ancient. Analytical, yet aloof. A mind decayed by time, riddled with contradictions. Masks and faces worn as one, both without identity. A purpose long lost.

Gods scheme upon rotting thrones, shackled to wills beyond their own. Great powers devour their world, cursed with stomachs never satiated. Delusions of fantasy dreamt to swipe away the nightmares heralded by shooting stars. The world’s play motions forward to the choir’s tune as the past withers away; the stage evolves and changes, yet remains static and contrived.

Meaningless happenings, given meaning. People found, turned to characters. Memories, turned to story. Events in observation, narrativized. A protagonist found and placed on stage, made to dance the play of it which observes, indifferently yet with ever maddening interest.

Notes:
- This narrative has elements of philosophically absurdist underpinnings and influences, and may not be conventional in some ways.
- This story is a slow moving burn, but prone to flaring up.
- There is a strong emphasis on worldbuilding and character psychology.
- There are elements of mystery, but largely in the sense of reader engagement and understanding (and confusion).
- This is planned to be a large series and long-term project.
- Each "Pars" was initially 3,500 - 5,000 words, but most will be split into two chapters.

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

When the nameless protagonist wakes up in an unknown world without memories being a slave to the Baron, a so called "Adventurer", is the least he expected. He soon finds out that "Adventurers" are players from another world, a "real" world somewhere out there, who have completed the video game that is this otherworld by slaying the final boss.

A bleak land and monochrome life, lonesome days in a quiet sorrow, until there was light, there was warmth, there was purpose, but how much can that cost? How heavy can one’s sacrifice be? Change is immutable, but how much should one change in the name of hope? How far can he, who embraces change, push himself before he breaks? This story isn’t a fairy tale, but a small fable following the tragic naivety of a monster, a cruel remark of one’s limitations.... more>>

Dear reader, I invite you to feel this alongside me as I’ve written this with my heart more than my head, my very first attempt at writing and perhaps the start of something more.

- Vast universe with conflict, threats, and world building.

- Many tropes, some subverted
