    Summary

    When Trunks turns seventeen something happens between him and his best friend that forever changes their dynamic. Spurred on by a royal Saiyan instinct to have a mate, Trunks' accidentally creates a deep soulbond between them, and Goten is immediately his entire world. On Vegetasai this would be simple and accepted, but this is Earth. Trunks and Goten now have to try to fit an alien instinct into the confines of a healthy, human-enough relationship. Meanwhile the biological imperative in Trunks' head is pushing him to protect Goten at all costs, from even the most minor of threats. If they don't legitimize the claim in time, it will drive him slowly insane. This is a rewrite of my previous work, The Stages of a Claim, explanation in the beginning note.

    Summary

    The Citizen State of Fevnor is a rising star of galactic diplomacy thanks to the vulpine race's erudite minds and incredible fertility. Despite the fact that the foxes future, and by extension that of their numerous, increasingly fevarian populated, client-states, looks bright, not all of their peers have taken to their arrival well. The nearby Star Realm of Rya chief among them, a spiritualist kingdom that long rivaled the fox's growing ambitions. However, with the destruction wrought in the wake of the Prikki-ti's escape from their home world, the kingdom had to turn to their once rival's for assistance. With the genocidal lizards turned down, relations between the former jockeying powers needed to be normalized, and so the fox's proposed a "Cultural Exchange", a Festival of Worlds one might even say. On Fevaria, such things tend to be called Breeding Expeditions, owing to the chief duty those who volunteer for such operations perform, although most consider them a competitive sports, not a military duty~

    Specialist Seifeth dol'Luch is one such volunteer, a relatively young, robust example of fevarian masculinity on his first breeding tour as the crew gets ready to depart the following morning.

    Summary

    Why is it that Cybertronians behave so much like humans despite being of another world? The answer is far darker than one would expect. These beings from beyond the stars have their own agendas, and they are nothing like the humans they work so hard to blend in amongst. Agent Witwicky, assigned the mission of understanding these aliens, will quickly come to realize that both Autobots and Decepticons are threats that should not be underestimated.

    Aka: What if Cybertronians were written to be more alien? How would things change?

    Summary

    On a whim even he can't explain, Prince Hydron orders the capture of one Dan Kuso. He wants to see what it would take to break a human. He wants to see the fire in Dan's eyes tamed, contained, caged by devotion. He underestimates just how brightly Dan burns against the gilded cage even Hydron is trapped in. His is a spark that ignites the prince's soul, opening his eyes to the truth, the horrors that lie in the shadows of his garden of Eden.

    Prince Hydron isn't anything like Dan expects. He's spoiled, capricious, and prone to fits of hysteria, true - but there's something deeper there too, a pain that seems too genuine to ignore. Dan isn't good at ignoring injustice when he sees it. Compassion is a powerful thing, wielded in the right hands; a sword, a song, a forbidden fruit held to Hydron's lips.

    Dan's capture leaves Shun in a whirlwind of regret, fear, anger. He is Dan's shadow, his constant companion, and the tailwind fanning the flames left in Dan's wake - and he feels the loss of that warmth as keenly as he still feels the loss of his mother. His saving grace is that Dan is more than capable of saving himself. Shun just didn't expect him to save the prince too - but where Dan goes, Shun follows.

    Summary

    I met a traveller from an antique land,
    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
    And on the pedestal, these words appear:
    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
    Look at my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    Percy Shelly’s “Ozymandias” (1819)

    Summary

    Earth has been conquered by the female-led Shil'vati Imperium, one of the 3 great galactic powers. Humanity is the odd-ball with a 1:1 female-to-male ratio. Most other alien races are closer to 8:1 female-to-male.

    Ten years after the invasion, human software engineer Sten takes a job on the alien world of Dirt. Where he is tasked with improving a dating app. Join him as he deals with cross-species culture shock, work ethics and the complexities of dating in a female-dominated culture.

     

    Engagement is set in the Sexy Space Babes universe by BlueFishcake. Unless otherwise specified, all conversations are in Shil. All years/measurements/etc are in pre-invasion earth standards. I've tried to stay within canon.
