Human After All by Inconvenient_Ideal

Alma Meadows, loyal Weyland Corp employee is one of many who work on creating the new, better androids to beat the rest which come from the company; or even the competition. An android with emotions seems like an oddly acceptable idea, but she has some reservations, even more so when the first David 8 wakes up and she has the pleasure to try and help him make sense of the world around him; to make sure that an android which can understand and show emotions is safe for the general populace. This all seems too simple, and life is good until talk of funding the Prometheus project crosses her path, and then things go from bad to worse, along with the rest of the crew as the search for their own creators comes into consideration with dire consequences.

Stranded on a Tiny Planet by Fire-Redhead

Merco, a human veteran of the last future war, finds himself marooned by mercenaries on an alien world inhabited by tiny humanoid aliens. Wounded and far from anything he knows he tries to survive and somehow find a way home. Meanwhile, the natives try to keep themselves a secret from this new threat.

Shurak, book 2 by noozaster

My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.

Mirror Dimension by Francine2033

When mysterious portals appear around the world, they unleash invaders identical to humans but bent on destruction. Alongside the chaos, a strange system like a game forces everyone to fight for survival, granting skills, missions, and merciless challenges. Jay, a civil engineering student in Manila, must navigate this apocalyptic nightmare, teaming up with a group of unlikely survivors as they uncover the truth behind the portals, the system, and the human-like invaders. In a world where survival is a game, every choice has consequences-and the stakes are life or death.

Icebound destiny: first book in the glacial fate series ( PREVIOUSLY: Georgie) by jennarosier07

Escaping alien abduction should be a dream come true, right? Wrong. Stranded on a desolate, ice-bound planet after the extraterrestrial ship malfunctions, I find myself among the cargo-a collection of human women. But the real twist? I'm now the object of intense interest from a gigantic, blue-skinned alien with horns. Turns out, this planet demands bonding with a strange life-form for survival, and *he's* not just any alien; he's the clan chief... and apparently, my destiny has just taken a very cold, and very complicated, turn.

Ocean of Stars: Where the Sun Sails [1] by RiverOftheNile

The colonization ship, USCSS Covenant is travelling to it's new home, Origea-6 when it was hit by a neutrino burst, causing a fire in one of the pods, killing the Captain. Just when things were seeming bleak, the ship-Mother locates another planet that seemingly looks perfect for habitation. Against Daniel's protests, the ship changes course and heads for the planet. Everything goes downhill from there; loved ones dying, creatures emerging and a stranger to the rescue. Will they ever escape? Warning: Descriptions of gore, will give a warning.

Those Whom Fortune Favours by JamesShale

Actions beget reactions. The smallest change could result in the most radically different outcomes. In this instance, Elizabeth Shaw finds herself putting the axe down and allowing her unexpected alien guests to introduce each other. A small what-if with a critically different outcome, this story explores an alternate path where two survivors are forced to forge a truce.

Once Upon an Alien by lizzy_the_alien

New edited version out now!!! I highly recommend reading that one instead, as this was the very first rough write of this story! As an alien invasion begins, a hiking trip with friends turns into a survival mission and an epic adventure. When Morgan finds herself alone, who will she trust and who will be her best ally against the apocalypse? Faced with the struggle against these aliens, she has to decide who, or what, will be by her side as she fights for her life. Where will this survival adventure even take her? And what is she willing to do to save her own life and even her planet? This story is currently under editing: none of the plot will change, only adding details and revising words etc. Thanks for giving this story a read! WARNING! This story will contain graphic details, mature content, strong language and other things which some readers may not agree too! Readers BEWARE! COMPLETE! All chapters will have a minimum of 1,000 words!

Appetence by Inconvenient_Ideal

David, brought into the world by Peter Weyland with the simple directive to serve. Created to serve, it instantly seems to be a hardship, a life which will be dictated by another, without a free will of his own, because free will is simply an illusion. But, there is another who is unlucky enough to be trapped under the same roof as Weyland, and it isn't his eldest daughter Meredith; Minerva, the girl in the cluttered room who is not all that she seems to be. Relatively the same, yet also different, both David and Minerva end up finding themselves more alike than they thought as life decides to twist and turn before them.

Exogenesis by Inconvenient_Ideal

(Sequel to Human After All.) With the crash landing of the Juggernaut and the destruction of the Prometheus, and with the promise of leaving; Elizabeth Shaw, Alma Meadows and David find themselves in a trying predicament. Returning home does not seem to be an option, finding the Engineer's home world, however, is. By his own admission, David states he could get them there, but he'd rather they fixed him along the way, being a decapitated head isn't the lifestyle for him. With LV-223 far behind, things if anything get more strained as both humans slowly run out of supplies, having been reduced to succumbing to hypersleep, both expect to be woken when they arrive on the Engineer's planet, thus leaving David alone on the commandeered Juggernaut. Only, being left alone doesn't mean he will just spend his time minding his business like he did when on the Prometheus, no, David has ideals, has plans, and getting rid of the Engineers is just step one. After many, many years, when a crew appear suddenly, he cannot help but find curiosity in them, even more so when an android, a brother in arms, is with them. Who and why are the crew of the Covenant here? And who are the other mysterious colonists which keep getting mentioned? Not all is what it appears to be within Paradise, and honestly, David doesn't find himself caring all that much.
