"All right, boys and girls, quit sucking your ma's teats. It's high time we bloody earn our paychecks!"... more>>

Born in times of turmoil, orphaned at a young age, and raised amongst rowdy sellswords, young Reinhardt Edelstein joined the mercenary trade as well when he grew up.

When misfortune finally caught up with them, and the mercenary company he had been part of fell into an ambush and was decimated, he survived by chance, along with a few others.

Then he found the baton of responsibility passed on to his hand, as the adopted nephew of the late captain.

Stuck behind enemy lines, with only the tattered remnants of the once proud company around him, he strived to do his best, to rebuild the company to its former glory... Should they survive the current conflict.

Would he succeed in etching his name in the annals of history? Or would he end up as a mere footnote instead?

Only time will tell…

This is an erotic, trans, furry, scifi, action adventure novel set in the future where Anthrmorphic people live amongst humans. It has heavy socialist vibes, anit-capitalism, anti-religion, and pro equal rights. Read further if you enjoy this content.
So basically, Humans created some Anthropomorphic people, we call them Anthros for short, to fill out all the jobs that Humans couldn’t, or wouldn’t do, due to our low birthrates. Only, our dumb Human brains decided not to make the Anthros equal. One bad thing led to another and BOOM, there was turmoil, revolutions, and the worst Pro Anthro Rights terrorism the Earth had ever seen.
Luckily, us Humans decided to pull our heads out our collective... more>> a**holes and give the Anthros what they deserved. Equality. But it was too little too late if you ask me.
Many of the Anthros took off into the stars shortly after faster than light travel, FTL if you didn’t know, was discovered. Of course, I decided to join them. After the Corpos took over everything on Earth, there wasn’t much for anyone, even a Human like me.
And of course, I made bad decisions all around. It’s easy when you’re trying to find yourself and who you truly are. I ran with some bad crews, but now I’m in the best place I could be, the space freighter Yiffin II, along with some of the friendliest and bada** crewmates a woman could ask for.
Especially my lover, my Space Fox, my Captain Uwu. The most perfect man I have ever met. Yes, we have fun IN and out of the bedroom. Yes, it’s great. His soft red and white fur against my skin is just…
Anyway, now we travel the galaxy, smuggling goods under our false delivery company, and always on the lookout for our next payday.
Space isn’t the friendliest either. Obviously, the Corpos decided to reach their slimy hands into anything with a shred of decency in the galaxy, and now we have to tip toe around these bad guys to avoid their greedy and vicious tactics, but the Corpos are far from the worst.
The Gellical Collective. These guys hate anything fun and awesome. They especially hate Anthros. They are one bad, racist, theocrats that just want everyone to bow down to their gods. We avoid them if we can, and atomize those we can’t, with pleasure I might add.

Star had always run from her past, too afraid to look over her shoulder and find it lurking there. When she discovered she was bound to a dragon—things got more complicated. Now, corporate and government agents also chase after her—giving her another reason to run.... more>>

Star is forced to align herself with Prometheus—the leader of a rebel organization—but he may not be all that he appears. After discovering super powers, bonding with her dragon, and exploring a new love life, her past shows up once again and threatens to destroy it all.

There’s no fleeing some battles—it’s a lesson that was bound to catch up, eventually.

<Note>

This story is a combination of perspectives (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Star's is in 3rd, the dragon is 2nd, and Prometheus is 1st. This is intentional and there's going to be a shifting of this over the course of the story. So, it's not an error, rather, it's a feature. :) <<less

Set in the Human Domestication Guide universe.... more>>

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

# This webnovel is also published at Royal Road.
# English is my second language and these chapters have not been proofread by a native speaker.
# The setting of this story is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy Wild West, not a traditional pseudo-medieval fantasy with wizards and goblins. Think Jules Verne meets Mad Max meets Final Fantasy VII.

In late 2023, unknown insects began to swarm the earth. They reproduced and mutated rapidly, leaving devastation in their wake. They ravaged human life, ending the world as we knew it, leaving nothing more than death and destruction. These swarms infected communities, which turned humans savage, violent, and hungry for blood.

This sets her and King off on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, turning both their worlds completely upside down.

Is the villain in this the real villain or is it manipulation at its best?

Short prologue
Cradling his delicate body in my arms, I stare down at his face lifelessly as a knife was pressed against my neck. Hard enough to draw blood but not kill me. What should have felt raw and cold against my bare skin felt like nothing. My body numb, I could feel nothing but the pain of betrayal. The only resemblance was the physical look, but even the once thought brilliant hyacinth-blue eyes, now look lifeless and dull.
“Cecil,” the voice of my love brought me back to my senses. I glance down at him, careful not to shift because of the knife.

Now is not the time to reminisce, I need to get us out of here alive, and get back what is rightly fully my families: The Throne. <<less
