Wayfarers x Farscape

Peace between alien races could shatter unless a neurodivergent, space-phobic marine biologist, the sexy, secretive ex she’s “over”, and their tween daughter can guide a pregnant space dragon to her nursery world before she loses her clutch.

JASAD HEIR/ONE DARK WINDOW

There’s a reason magic has been silenced. An outcast shifter and a heartbroken soldier must trust each other to smuggle a cursed relic, before a vengeful sorceress uses it to destroy all magic forever.

When a terminally ill engineer applies for a deadly job interview, he not only faces a desolate planet, but also his bitter ex. His one chance to win the meds he needs rests on them working together to escape Earth.
But only one can win, & it means betraying each other. Again.

For Toast, guarding a sentient forest means “weird” is an average Tuesday, and “nightmare” is an aesthetic. But as Toast struggles to save the forest’s latest victim, he instead finds himself the target of its gruesome hunger.

He might survive.

But not as himself.

Hotel Adair’s wallpaper doesn’t peel. Its piano stays in perfect tune. Its plush carpet covers all stains—but that grandeur only lasts when the hotel's been fed.

Luckily, when Cody's tight-knit friend group checks in, they bring plenty of secrets to satisfy its hunger.
