Augments - digital implants and robotic prostheses - can enhance abilities, bestow entirely new ones, or replace parts of the body that have been broken or injured. At least they used to, before they were declared illegal during the Purge. But augments were never meant to replace parts of the human brain. So when her brain got damaged beyond organic repair, she was fixed using other parts of machines. And they ended up saving more of her than just her physical body, as one day, she found herself no longer alone inside the expanse of her own mind.Amy Larsson is many things. A covert augment. An escaped slave. An infamous space pirate. A spy for New Elysium. A terrorist. An overall badass bitch to be reckoned with - rumor has it she can hot-wire anything with just a rubber band and a bobby pin. But what not even the android crew of her ship, the Blackstar, is aware of, is the fact that Amy Larsson is even more than that: she is two people, in one body.And they are planning to commit the most audacious heist of the galaxy._______________Featured on Wattpad Beyond Sol's "Sunflower Space Opera" reading list First Place in the The Chaos Awards 4 (Science Fiction) [2018-07-21]Third Place in The Rebel Awards 2018 (Science Fiction) [2018-09-16]Highest Rankings:#2 in SpaceTravel [28.02.2019]#8 in SpaceOpera [28.02.2019]#9 in Cyborg [28.02.2019]#14 in Mind [28.02.2019]#15 in Space [28.02.2019]#42 in FemaleProtagonist [28.02.2019]#54 in Science Fiction [07.05.2018] Spin-off story / prequel to @Red_Leasia 's "New Elysium": https://www.wattpad.com/story/106699395-new-elysiumWe're co-writing the sequel "New Elysium 2 - Weapons of War" on our shared profile @New_Elysium…

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired.Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)…

While out on the hunt, self-confident vampire Ashton for once ends up being the hunted. After being accidentally captured and almost killed, he finds himself indebted to the black witch Elizabeth, who has a pact with a demon and is on a hunt herself. When her old coven gives her a task that may redeem her from her past misdeeds that cost the lives of innocents, Elizabeth calls in her favor, and recruits Ashton to help her find out why more and more witches from both black and white covens are going missing.Thrown into a conflict between forces as ancient as magic itself, the two have to learn to work together quickly, while old secrets and promises of the past hamper their mutual trust. But soon it turns out that the pacts that bind them both might also tie them to each other, and their encounter might have been not one of chance, but one of fate._____I decided to give the ONC a shot again, and revive a short story from last year... and also use this opportunity to foray into another genre this time. This will be my first paranormal/fantasy/gothic horror story, and if nothing else it's supposed to be a fun little writing exercise to get me back into a creative mood after quite a long break from writing :)Since it's gonna be a WIP throughout the ONC and I want to spend more time on "explorative" writing rather than getting lost in in-depth planning, this story will probably be subject to numerous changes and edits, but I hope you'll enjoy nonetheless!…

In the city of Eos, the lines between black and white, right and wrong, love and hate, all blur together like the bright neon lights that bask the dark streets in their mesmerizing glow.And where black and white meet, a world in monochrome is born.Theo has long since abandoned his career as a cybercriminal, and an important promise made in the past keeps him tied to the life of a law-abiding citizen. But when his talents catch the attention of the enigmatic hacker group 'Electric Eye' and their charismatic leader Nova, he is forced to question his own sense of right and wrong, the morality of his actions and the ties that bind him. ____This story will tell the tale of Nova, a character from "Against the Tide": https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/143490393-against-the-tide-a-new-elysium-story (reading this first is recommended to understand the context)Both stories are spin-offs to @Red_Leasia 's "New Elysium"https://www.wattpad.com/story/106699395-new-elysium (not absolutely necessary to understand this story, but recommended)…
