Summary
All Jim Kirk ever wanted was his own ship. All Leonard McCoy wants is to make it back home.
Starfleet and the Federation have collapsed after a decades-long war, and everyone who was off-planet at the time is effectively stranded with no way home. Planets that were once connected by the Federation are now connected only by a black market smuggling economy, and a bare-bones system of good samaritans who help people get back to their homes, although not everyone in this network can be trusted. A story about multiple ships, countless trips across the galaxy, and, somewhere along the way, a captain and his crew.
(tags and ships will be updated with each chapter!)

Summary
Throughout history, few have been given the power to control the destiny of their fellow men. A conqueror takes Europa, claiming a princess as his prize, though hatred may turn to something far more dangerous. Meanwhile, a stolen warship becomes the last hope of resistance, carrying a seer who envisions a liberator and a soldier thrust into rebellion. As empires clash, the fate of Sol will be decided by those bold enough to seize it.

Summary
The fact that six mercenaries and a weasel have stowed away on the highest-security vessel in the Dynasty’s fleet is, technically, a serious problem that bodes poorly for the rest of their journey. But Essek is delighted. He’d been dreading a long and tense voyage to Mutalos, without any company except for a skeleton crew comprised mostly of military personnel, the awkward spare scourger, and his—
It feels strange, to think of Becke as his wife. Even calling her his enemy feels too intimate.
(In which Essek agrees to a political marriage to ensure intergalactic peace and keep himself alive, only to discover that his wife has married him for exactly the opposite reason.)

Summary
Out in the far reaches of space, anything is possible. Absolutely anything.
Whether from the perspective of a wandering Machine, a possibly insane Avian Mercenary with an adorable side, a Human who got caught up in all this madness, the being which indirectly got this Human into this situation to begin with - among a whole load of other people, all of which make appearances in their own stories after this fact.
Star Weaver is a story about grief, regret and the sorrow of eternity. Yet it is also a story about joy and the simple pleasures in life. The things make life worth living even in it's smallest forms.
Star Weaver has that and more! A Space Opera about events far beyond what is possible, or usually seen by us Humans. Whether the culture, the people, the species...You name it.
So, if you like the sound of Science Fiction Anthology. Stick around!

Summary
The lonely titanium disc shines in the refracted Earthlight, swallowed by the pale white ocean of the Moon. The space station Regent waits. Biding time for generations until the lunar surface is perfect- terrestrial. Until that light-years-distant day, Bureaus dominate the political and economic landscape, strip-mining Earth’s closest neighbor for everything it is worth. The Terrestrial Council mandates that stationers don’t see a single credit.
Most of Regent’s population has only ever seen Earth through pictures and vid-logs. They live in a world of sintered regolith and nanotech- an ocean of vacuum between themselves and their humanity. Cloistered on-station and sequestered from the concepts of freedom and resistance, stationers of all walks of life try to find hope as they navigate a world bent upon stifling it.- Language:

Summary
I'm not crazy.
That was what crazy people said, but I'm not. I've been abducted by aliens before and I'm going to prove it. I never bargained for being abducted again, and I never thought I wouldn't be returned to Earth. Trapped out in space, cargo to an alien crew, I have to find a way back home.
Easier said than done when space is inhospitable to sub-class species and humans are regularly bought and sold in an illegal exotics trade. I'm determined to make it back home despite the odds.
The only problem? My transport ship's alien captain might like me a little too much.

Summary
When the stars are silent, machines take their place. And one day, they answer. In the Russian hinterland, among forests and abandoned buildings, three people record the impossible: a surge of gravity, a pure sine wave of perfect order, and a call like a prayer from beyond existence. Scientist, engineer and priest. Each of them hears an echo - and each, not knowing the others, goes to meet it. Meanwhile, Samus Aran, a bounty hunter plucked from space and trapped in a mortal body, awakens in a dank forest. Without armor, without a ship, without hope. Only cold, rain, and an alien world where iron rusts but faith still burns. A world that is not ready for her. And she - to him. Cold Sky is a realistic thriller about the encounter between star and dirt, technology and prayer, loneliness and humanity.

Summary
“This isn’t a love letter to canon. It’s hatemail."
General Grievous survives his duel with Obi-Wan on Utapau, but the Republic "wins" the war. In the remnants of the Separatist movement, one IG-100 MagnaGuard must take command of a broken fleet, wrestle with free will vs. programming, and discover what it truly means to feel.
He was never meant to be a leader. But the Force had other ideas.
If androids dream of electric sheep, what do they see in their nightmares?
———
A multi-POV story spanning:
General Grievous
A sentience-awakening MagnaGuard
Clones post–Order 66 clinging to their Jedi
Separatist holdouts
And B1 battle droids
Set in the days and weeks after the Clone Wars, this is a very slow burn focused on trauma recovery, legacy, and found family. Expect grief, droid philosophy, and occasional explosions.
