Summary
Selaine betrayed her species and willingly joined the insectoid alien hivemind known as the Tachyr Swarm, requesting to be made their queen... Little did she know at the time, a Tachyr queen is not so much a powerful leader as she is a pampered broodmother, and by the time she realized her mistake, it was far too late to take it back. What kinds of strange and humiliating things will she be forced to endure in service of the swarm? Can she really learn to love this new life, or is that just the swarm's influence over her reshaping her mind? And how long will it be until she stops caring if there's a difference?

Summary
Zoran's first mission right out of basic ended with him the sole survivor of his ship, shoved into an escape pod at the last second by the man who took him under his wing. His second, he volunteered for, in the name of revenge for that selfless superior who saved his life. Fortunately for Zoran, he never stood a chance, and his target was a certain very big ship full of very little florets.
Even more fortunately, there's a spot in Rosebud Rangers Troop #333 with
hisher name on it.(Thanks to ObliviaWrites for this absolutely next-level plot concept. Couldn't have done it without ya!)

Summary
“Can I borrow your ear for a moment?” The affini’s voice froze the blood in Winter’s veins solid. Mentally, she reminded herself of the importance of her rules for slipping under affini’s attention. Be polite, follow orders quietly, *never* flirt back, and most importantly always give the sense of having somewhere else to be. These were important rules. Necessary rules! Otherwise it was far too easy to give one the wrong impression that you, perhaps, were even a bit interested in being bent into place as their pet and having your will crushed into a fine dust under their heels. However, for *this* affini in particular she was distinctly aware that most of these would not help.

The Place Where We Can Stop Running by Dame Harmony (Dame_Harmony)

Summary
Set in GlitchyRobo's Human Domestication Guide setting.
Humanity has been invaded by a precursor race of hypercompetent plant dommes called the Affini, and forcibly given paradise in a post-scarcity culture that heavily prioritizes the care for its protectorates, to the point of drugging and mind-controlling them into a blissful reverie if necessary. For almost everyone this is a vast improvement. All that's required is to give up any silly notions that anyone except for the Affini know what's best for everyone; in many cases the poor things clearly don't.
Chloë Sulla, our protagonist, has been running for too long. Clover Fabaceae, Fourth Bloom has plenty of experience with those who can't slow down. When you finally come face-to-face with the thing you've been trying to avoid all this time, do you have the courage to stop?
This story uses emoji to represent the Affini languge, including the names of some characters. If this is distracting or difficult to follow, most instances of this can be converted to English by using the "Hide Creator's Style" button at the top of this page.

Summary
“Opposable thumbs are a privilege, not a right.”
Csilla Vadas, a cybernetically enhanced shipwright, is captured by an alien who seems intent on making her a pet. More worryingly, her old prosthetics have been seized, sequestered away, and replaced with ones modeled after canids. Just how far does her new owner plan on taking this whole pet thing?
