Resisting Stories

I should be in my room, I told myself. Or at least somewhere familiar. . . Word reached the inner hall within moments. "Sona has returned." . . "Struggling won't break it." "Then you don't know who you've tied," she shot back. "And that's your mistake." . . "You think this is about safety?" she demanded. "This is about possession." . . . She held his gaze, "And what feels out of place about me?" "Nothing," he said after a moment. "That's what makes it noticeable." For the first time, she smiled-small, controlled. "My name is Kirti." . . . "Since I'm clearly being discussed-I am Shri." . . "He told me to pack my bags," Shri said. "Said I was late." "I asked him why," Shri went on. "He said, 'Because if you don't leave now, you'll miss her.'"

"I'm not a symbol. I'm just a girl." "We are the heroes of humanity." "If I have to burn the world to save them, so be it." "I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you." 2301. Twelve regions. One capital. History, culture, faith - erased. Four strangers - Aameena Mahmoud, Ace Sullivan, Eleanor Fujimoto and John Pierce. They think they know who the enemy is. But some wars are invisible. And some "saviors" are just men behind the scenes wearing suits and ties. Note: This story contains intense themes related to control, survival, mental health distress, war, trauma, loss, child endangerment and emotional resistance. All characters are fictional.

Thomas O. Brien is the son of the rich Duke Stephen Brien, and is to be married off to the oldest daughter of the Agnes line - against his will, but he doesn't dare tell his father anything. On the night before his wedding, he steps out of their family villa for a last night of fun before his life becomes tied to another and he has to pick up his duties as the Brien heir. This 'fun' he was looking after, well it wasn't exactly getting kidnapped by one of the most famous pirate crews that all of England was raving about. But to be honest, Thomas doesn't mind being kidnapped and taken on an adventure, he doesn't mind not getting married the next morning, and he certainly doesn't mind catching sight of the crew's mysterious captain. After all, he was always the adventurous type. I'm back with a new newtmas story guys THE CHARACTERS ARE RIGHTFULLY JAMES DASHNERS

Brendan Hughes has just became the leader of D-Company of the Belfast brigade. He shortly travels to the South, where the IRA soldiers are trained and meets Charlene, a high rank woman who trains his men, yet seems to be nothing like the others. How difficult is to love in the midst of a war? A Say Nothing fanfiction, written respectfully for the heroes of the IRA.

Lux Qualley serves the Resistance with a faint heart, heavy past, and a strange connection blurring her mind with that of one budding Dark Side apprentice. Pre-episode vii timeline.

Hans Blake, the living weapon born from rage, must lead a broken alliance against a two-million-strong fanatical army determined to erase every "cheat" against death. Old enemies become uneasy allies. Children become soldiers. And the silent blade who once tried to kill him becomes his most trusted brother.

The year is 2085. It has been 45 years since the world descended into a full-on nuclear war, an event also known as the Unhappening. Countries no longer exist. Instead, in this setting, the Wasteland, which was once Eastern Europe, is riddled with factions inspired by real life extremist groups, each clinging to their own perverted and degenerate creed, hence the title of this book. Our protagonist, Alex, and his gang of non-conformists must learn to survive in this new environment. Will he be successful?

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: (please read) This story is an original work inspired by themes and aesthetics from the Splatoon universe. It does not include any official Splatoon characters that I will introduce in the next book I plan to write. This fan-inspired project is created purely for entertainment and sets the stage for a connected trilogy for Splatoon. Echoes of Freedom - Origin Files begins not with ruins, but with revelation. This is a character-driven journey-Axol is his own person, with a mind shattered by war and choices only he can make. This is the story of Axol. The survivor. The one who remembers everything for now. You know, Most tales begin with someone waking up in a world already changed and being their new life. But not this one. Earth, 12,000 years later, after the flood, the new world belonged to creatures called Inklings & Octarians. Color is warfare. They battle across the cities, never questioning what sleeps below. But this story begins long before the oceans rose, before the skies split. Before humanity fell beneath its own ambition. Memory has roots. Truth doesn't stay buried forever. So let's go back 12,000 years before history was rewritten, where Axol had a choice, and he was ready to watch the world fall, even if it cost him everything. This isn't the aftermath. This is the origin.

The Empire is wounded. Its war machine is starving. Its ranks are being bled dry. After the Battle of Yavin, Emperor Palpatine orders an expedition into the Unknown Regions to search for raw materials in order to make up for the loss of the Death Star. When the planet Earth is discovered, the capture of its valuable resources becomes a top priority. The only problem? Earth's people won't go down without a fight. *Star Wars was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney (not me lol)* *Currently Attempting to Publish on Royal Road under Account JP Short*

Verses of Defiance is a searing collection of protest poems that pulse with the raw energy of resistance. From whispered dissent to full-throated cries for justice, these verses capture the spirit of those who challenge oppression, inequality, and silence. Each poem is a spark, igniting hope and demanding change in a world that too often turns away. Bold, unyielding, and unapologetic, this anthology speaks truth to power and invites readers to join the chorus of defiance.

In the Kingdom of Pristinia, your bloodline is your destiny, and your gender is your cage. For Elara Brighton, the rules are simple: stay in your district, keep your head down, and accept that your only value lies in domestic labor. But Elara has never been good at staying silent. When a family crisis forces her to take a job as a servant within the gilded walls of the Royal Palace, she expects to find only enemies. Instead, she finds a Prince who is as much a prisoner of the crown as she is. As intrigue turns into a dangerous attraction, Elara must decide if she will follow the rules to survive, or burn the hierarchy down-even if it means losing the man who was born to wear the crown she defies.

A dystopian story of a young girl who is taken from her family into a psychological testing facility after showing too much curiosity towards things many residents don't notice, After being given a glimmer of hope that she might survive her situation after all, she falls into a routine that turns into something oddly familiar.

(Sequel to Shrek the Third: Search of a New Heir!) Greetings, everyone. Prince Cassian of Havendale, at your service. Life has been going so excellently ever since me and Naomi got married! Being royalty hasn't been easy these days, but I always do my best. Most days, I believe that I truly have what it takes to be a great King. With the support of my friends and family, I grow more confidence in myself and it encourages me to keep doing my best to if I want to be a ruler that the Kingdom of Havendale can believe in and look up to. However, things are about to take a turn for the worst as Shrek, who's been longing for the old days when he was feared by many, signs a deal with the devious Rumpelstiltskin. As a result, I end up getting separated from my family and we end up getting thrown into an alternate universe where Rumpelstiltskin rules Far Far Away with an army of witches at his disposal. Ogres are hated and being hunted down, no one knows who Shrek is since he never existed here, and Shrek will die in a day's time. If that wasn't bad enough, Havendale has even been taken over by an army of raiders led by the man who I believed I would never worry about ever again. Can we undo the magic of the contract, find a way out of this hellish timeline, and restore our happily ever after?

The world ended in fire and silence, and Priscilla Mayhem learned far too quickly that childhood was a luxury the post-invasion world could not afford. At fourteen, Priscilla travels with the remnants of humanity alongside her older siblings-Maggie, hardened beyond her twenty-five years, and Tobias, twenty and trying desperately to hold their fractured family together. Like Maggie, Priscilla fell into the hands of Pope's group early in the invasion. There, survival came at a terrible cost. Forced into brutality, fear, and control, Priscilla emerged changed-and carrying a child. Her baby is both her deepest wound and her fiercest reason to keep going in a world that has already taken everything else. The story begins during the events surrounding The Armory in Season One, as the 2nd Massachusetts Militia attempts to reclaim hope, weapons, and a future from the ruins of the old world. Priscilla, still young but already marked by loss, joins the fight while struggling to protect her baby from a war that never spares the innocent. Haunted by Pope's influence and judged by survivors who don't understand what she endured, Priscilla must navigate motherhood, trauma, and combat all at once. Amid the chaos, she forms an unexpected bond with Ben Mason-a boy her age who understands loss, fear, and the crushing weight of responsibility. As Ben faces his own path toward transformation and resistance, Priscilla becomes both an anchor and a reminder of what they're fighting for. Together, they grow up too fast in a world that demands it, finding solace, loyalty, and eventually love in each other as humanity teeters on the brink.

The Republic Unravelled: Noctis' Stand Some men are remembered because they survived. Noctis Daybreak is not one of them. Nigeria is a nation held together by a motto no one believes anymore. The institutions stand. The speeches are made. The ceremonies continue. And the people who ask the wrong questions - disappear quietly or loudly, depending on how afraid the powerful have become. Noctis Daybreak asked the wrong questions. A lawyer. An activist. A man who believed that truth, spoken with enough precision and enough courage, could crack the architecture of a corrupt republic. He was not wrong. That was precisely the problem. This is not a story about whether he falls. It is a story about what he chose to stand for - and why that choice, even now, refuses to be buried with him. The republic unraveled. But Noctis' stand - that endures. What will you do with yours? By Invictus Scribe

I never wanted this. I never asked to have this power within me. It is probably why my parents hid me from the world. But that all ended when our village got attacked and I was the only one left. My parents always told me of a woman who, when the time came, could help me control this thing within. Leia Organa. However, when I did finally find her, she was General Organa, leader of the Resistance. So to have her teach me, I joined. It was there where I found my true purpose. It wasn't learning to control the Force, but helping stop the First Order. It was also there where I met the cockiest, most obnoxious pilot in the universe. Poe Dameron. With trying to get a control on my budding abilities and dealing with Mr. Bighead, my life started to get interesting. Authors Note: This takes place around five years before the Force Awakens, and goes throughout the entire trilogy.

(AU) Luke is gone. Kylo Ren is the new Supreme Leader. The Resistance is all but decimated. Now, all responsibility falls on Rey to balance the Force and bring an end to this war. But as a relatively untrained Jedi, she will not be able to find balance in the Force when she cannot find balance within herself. With whispers of Palpatine's return, the Dark side has been growing stronger and stronger every day. Will she be able to defeat them or will the pull to the Dark be enough to turn her and cause a different ending to the war? *This is an alternative universe that takes place just before/during the events of the Rise of Skywalker. There will be some things that could be similar to the film, but I will be changing quite a bit. There are many items and powers that exist in TROS that I personally do not feel make sense, so they will be omitted (The dagger, lightspeed skipping, Anakin's saber, to name a few). This story follows some of our favorite characters from the Star Wars franchise and some new faces too. May contain graphic content.*
