Endless by StephenClarkson

Endless is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic (gen 1) pokemon fan fiction.

Everything changed when the bombs fell.

The earth is a scarred husk of what it once was. Years have passed since the war ended but the damage lives on. Radiation infects the earth, making much of the surface uninhabitable. Civilisation struggles on, pockets of people finding ways to thrive in the desolate landscape.

There are rumours though. Rumours that, after years of struggle, he has decided to pursue. Maybe things could change. He'd rather die trying than leave a wasteland as his legacy.

Skiathos by mhunyadi

|| Sometimes in Space Things Disappear ||

Nadja Bikram traveled to the distant and alien world of Skiathos to work one problem, a puzzle that had vexed her for seven years. But on reaching the savage desert world, she found the planetary survey team she was to join in disarray and its leader missing. It was up to her to take command and to sort things out, but she swiftly discovered the harsh and brutal planet held a hidden danger, one so lethal and dreadful that it threatened them all.

Nadja would need to use her every wit and to risk her life and the lives of those around her to find out what it was. But would she find the answer before it was too late?
