《Julia (Zarry MPreg)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
It was a cold winter night and I was home alone watching scary movies. I'd normally watch them with Harry, but he's been acting strange around me lately.
He starts stuttering or tripping over his words when we talk. Or he'll just stand up and walk away from me at random times. I asked him what was the matter, but his response was just very odd, and it wasn't a viable reason.
Obviously it upset me a bit. I mean, Harry and I are best mates. Just best mates...
I've been having this thought lately. Does Harry like me? Is that why he's being so awkward?
I don't like Harry like that. We're just friends. Maybe I really admire the way his outrageous curly hair flops perfectly. And maybe I do love his deep, sea green eyes. I could stare into them forever. And his low, morbid voice that dragged on as he spoke, and how it sounded so sexy and rough in the mornings or when he was groggy. And his lips; so perfect and soft looking. I can just imagine them against mine. The thought made my own mouth water. And those hands. The things he could do with those hands...
Whoa, what am I saying? Harry and I are just friends; brothers. I don't like him in that way. He's straight, and I'm straight.
Okay, maybe I like him a little. And maybe that doesn't make me all that straight. But, he is attractive, right? It's normal to be attracted to Harry Styles. It's not like I'm in love with him.
Am I?
I was strolling along the pavement alone with the busy London traffic zipping beside me. I just needed to clear my head. I kept my head ducked low. Even though it was night, I was paranoid that fans would interrupt me as I trudged around my Mind Palace in deep thought.

I tugged my jumper tighter around my body as I made my way down the cold streets. I know I've been avoiding Zayn lately but I just can't do it anymore. I can't take the heart attack I get, being with him and knowing he isn't mine.
Because (cheesy enough) I'm in love with him. Of course I get stuck falling for my best friend; someone I can't have.
But I love every single thing about Zayn. I love the way he smiles with his tongue between his teeth and his voice when he sings, filled power and emotion. I love the way his body fits next to mine like a puzzle piece. I love his beautiful hazel eyes, and how easy I can get lost in them. I love his lips. Imagine them leaving kisses down my bo-
Stop! I really need to stop having fantasies about him. Not only is it slowly tearing me apart, but it's proper creepy... Then again, millions of girl round the world do the exact same thing. But I needed to get over him.
I squeezed my eyes shut and let a few tears escape. How can you stop loving someone? It was impossible to move on. I've been trying for two straight years. Or, should I say... Gay years.
There is another option, however... Would it be simpler if I just expressed my affection?
I think it'd be easier in the long-run, but not at the moment. I just can't stand the thought of rejection by my best mate. How awkward would that be?
Zayn Malik will never be mine. I'll never get to call him 'Babe' or take cute selfies with him for Instagram. Or know the feeling of kissing those perfect pouty lips of his.
I directed my tear filled gaze to my mobile phone; 23:11. I hadn't realized that I'd been walking for almost an hour to God-knows-where. I slid my mobile into the back pocket of my black jeans then began the tedious journey back to the flat I shared with Zayn.

I honestly had no desire to face Zayn in my condition. I was finding it increasing more difficult to put up a happy facade in his presence. I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it is to pretend something isn't bothering you when your heart is decaying.
Nonetheless, I arrive at the front door of our flat. I reached in my pocket for the keys, only to find that I had left them in the flat.
"Bloody hell," I exhaled under my breath, then knocked on the door

Letters from a Dying World
Times historic are often penned after the fact in the lifeblood of the pitiful, forgotten masses. That roiling, uncountable crush of humanity, they who held the pikes and they who threw down the tyrants. Their veins opened by gazes academic, sharp and cruel, and pecked away at with quills, written out of their own story. The Second Dark Crusade was a time of such poignancy. A time when the light of man waned and flickered, choking in the acrid smoke of its own inadequacy. As befitting of such an age it has been covered more than a capital whore, and so I attempt not to tell that story again. That story of dull, unfeeling analysis. Neither here will you find the browbeating, propagandistic screeds so common in the hands of men, the light of youth still burning behind their eyes. Nay, here I shall attempt to cover fresh ground, not tread on the grave dirt of long dead authors. Here I shall attempt to tell the story of the small lives caught, unbeknownst to them, in the great and torrential downpour that we now call history. Here lies the true story of The Second Crusade. - Loremaster Ip'Qal

Human & [Inhuman]
In a modern Japan just like our own, unbeknownst to the general populace, there are [Inhumans] who are capable of channeling [Soul Energy] into unique [Magic] through their physiological differences from normal humans, as well as [Compatibles] who possess an excess of said [Soul Energy]. [Inhuman] and [Compatible] are designed to work together, to complete each other. In such a world, underground feuds between bloodlines are common, and no duo is safe from destiny. Perhaps love can yet blossom on the battlefield? This is a piece that heavily takes inspiration from animanga/japanese light novels, and is also sort of an experimental piece to see if combining the exposition style of japanese light novels with the narrative and descriptive techniques of western literature can work. Prepare for two-person team battle action, romance, as well as some slice-of-life on the side.

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
