    The Exhibit

    Ten teenagers win a lottery for an exclusive night tour at a private zoo — but the "tour" is actually a psychological experiment. Paired off, they're slowly and irreversibly transformed into animals — a bear, a dolphin, a monkey, a deer, a lion, one male and one female each — while researchers secretly study something else entirely: how quickly people stop seeing someone as human once they no longer look like one.

    WINGS OF PREY🪾👣🥀🪶

    On her 15th birthday, Y/N wakes up as a six-inch fairy with butterfly wings, forced to leave her human life behind and live in a fairy village that despises her for her human blood—all while her grandparents wage psychological war to "purify" her and a human boy named Leo waits at the forest's edge, refusing to let her go. Trapped between two worlds that both see her as a monster, Y/N must survive 15 years of fairy cruelty without losing the human heart that makes her who she is—or risk becoming the very evil they accuse her of being.

    The Inversion Wing

    Nadia, Sera, Y/N and Theo enter a facility for a "study." Over months, staff slowly convince Nadia and Sera they're enemies, not sisters, while eroding Nadia's art skills into crippling insecurity and turning Sera cruel through reward-conditioning — physically aging Sera into a blind, balding old man and shifting Nadia into an insecure boy with hair so long he can barely walk. Theo's quiet certainty is contradicted until he loses trust in his own thoughts, and he's slowly reshaped — mentally and physically — into a loud, opinionated little girl with blonde pigtails. None of them remember the change happening.

    SKIN DEEP🩻🧬🫆🌌

    Two teenagers—Y/N, a human, and Kaelith, a Thaloryn boy—are kidnapped and forcibly transformed into each other's species. Returned to Earth as heroes, they must hide the truth while navigating new bodies, stolen minds, and a world that will never understand. Hope gains three voices in her head; Kaelith loses his and is left in crushing silence. Only together can they survive.

    The Anti-Campaign

    Alex and Jamie are bitter rivals running for class president. Their campaigns are polar opposites: Alex's Standard Bearers promise tradition, discipline, and structure, while Jamie's Freedom League promises innovation, fun, and flexibility. They have publicly sabotaged each other for weeks, and their mutual hatred is the talk of the school. Alex's VP is Morgan—a junior boy who is essentially Alex's male mirror. He shares her love for rules, organization, and perfectionism. He color-codes his notes, corrects people's grammar, and carries a pocket-sized planner everywhere. Morgan is fiercely loyal to Alex and believes in her vision for the school. He is the only person who truly gets her—and he's quietly had a crush on her for two years, though he's never said a word. Jamie's VP is Y/N During a heated cafeteria fight—Alex shoves a rulebook, Jamie dumps a smoothie, Morgan tries to de-escalate, Y/N watches in horror—a faulty speaker screeches, the lights flicker, and something breaks. When Alex and Jamie blink, they're still themselves... but something is pulling them from the inside. Alex—who has always craved order—now feels a constant, exhausting pull toward spontaneity, impulsivity, and chaos. She finds herself wanting to skip class, tell reckless jokes, and throw away her planner. She fights it every second. Jamie—who has always craved freedom—now feels a relentless pull toward order, structure, and restraint. He finds himself wanting to organize everything, correct grammar, and plan every minute. He fights it constantly.

    🌍LOST IN 🌏TRANSLATION🌎

    Y/N gets accepted into an elite international academic program that selects only a handful of students worldwide. It looks like the opportunity of a lifetime. It is not what it looks like. On the first day Y/N is taken to a facility on campus and told that buried inside the enrollment paperwork they already signed was consent for a neurological procedure. Their brain will be altered to make them fluent in a new language while making English permanently gone. Not difficult. Gone. The procedure happens that day. The program is one month per country. Y/N lives there, attends a local school, builds real connections, and starts to feel at home. Then chooses the next language. The previous one disappears overnight and everyone in it becomes unreachable. This happens every month for a year. Every choice costs something. Every connection becomes something to grieve. And somewhere in the middle of it Y/N stops being sure which version of themselves is the real one. At the end of the year there is one final choice. One language to keep forever. English is not on the list. The person Y/N was before that first orientation day is not an option either.

    DEPTH 2 🌊🧬🩻🫁

    Y/ N and Eli are selected for a government exchange program with the Verath, a deep ocean species with no empathy, where two humans go below forever in exchange for two Verath getting to live on land. They spend a month at an underwater facility with their assigned Verath pairs, Calla and Ori, undergoing physical and mental transformations that rewrite their bodies and minds completely. Calla spends the entire process eagerly asking Y/N about the surface life she is taking without once considering what Y/N is losing, because the concept of someone else’s pain simply does not exist in her yet. When the mental transformation completes Calla and Ori become fully human, gain empathy for the first time, and immediately realize they can never go back — the biological window for reversal has permanently closed. When a reversal is quietly offered to Y/ and Eli, Eli refuses instantly, but Y/N still has a choice, and Calla — now drowning in guilt she has no idea how to carry — is standing right there when she makes it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    THE TIDAL WAR ⚔️🌊👑🔮

    Ever since you’ve started High school you made two friends, Ophelia and Ray both from two countries at war, Orin and Aqualass. They’ve moved to Florida United States to come to your school fleeing the war. The war was unlike any others, the leader of Aqualass used tidal waves to swallow Orin whole.But now for the first time ever they’ve been acting strange.

    DEPTH 🌊🧬🩻🫁

    Two humans and two Verath. One exchange. No way back. Y/N and Eli are brought to an underwater facility where they spend two months living alongside their Verath pairs — Calla and Ori — as their bodies and minds are slowly rewritten into something new. Calla spends the whole time asking Y/N about the life she is about to take. She never thinks to ask how Y/N feels about losing it. The Verath have no empathy. It is simply not in them. Until it is.

    The Exchange Protocol 🧬

    Y/N, chosen to represent North America, is taken aboard a joint human-alien research station where seven young people from Earth and seven from the Thaloryn ocean world have been selected from each continent to join a classified experiment. Among them are Zoe of Europe, Ethan of Africa, and Kaelith and Lysera, two Thaloryn chosen from their own planet. The truth is horrifying: each participant will be forcibly transformed, humans rewritten into alien bodies while the aliens are changed into humans, all to test whether two civilizations can survive in each other’s forms. In minutes, Y/N wakes with glowing skin, antennae, and three eyes, while Kaelith and Lysera awaken human. A second procedure is meant to rewrite their minds as well, but Y/N escapes before her human brain is erased. Trapped between species, she grows close to Kaelith as emotions awaken inside him, while Zoe slowly begins losing herself to alien perfection.

    The Rehearsal

    A government-funded research initiative called The Exchange Program recruits 100 volunteers aged 12–18 (50 male, 50 female). Each undergoes a medical procedure that fully transitions their bodies to the opposite sex — hormones, anatomy, secondary characteristics, everything. The transformation is reversible after five years, but the process is painful, disorienting, and psychologically brutal.

    LOST IN TRANSLATION 2

    Y/N and Cade are two American teenagers who unknowingly sign consent for a neurological experiment that strips their language and replaces it with a new one every week. Each wipe takes everything — the words, the people, the version of themselves that existed that week. The scientists who run it speak only English. The language they took and kept for themselves. Cade picks the same language as Y/N every single week without ever saying why. When the scientists notice their relationship they separate their languages deliberately — not as punishment, as data. The feeling survives. The ability to reach each other doesn’t. At the end of the experiment there is one final choice. One language to keep forever. English is not on the list. And neither of them knows yet if they will choose the same one.

    THE SURFACE BETWEEN US 🌊

    Every day, Y/N walks the halls of Seaside High like a normal teenager. Every night, they dive into the ocean and swim home to a mermaid kingdom. Their green tail grants them the rarest gift: the ability to shift freely between two worlds. But when two humans witness their transformation, everything shatters. Luke—a quiet, haunted transfer student—steps into the surf and awakens as a silver-tailed mermaid with scales that replay forgotten memories. He was once an exiled noble, erased from history, and now he's permanently trapped in the sea. Cass—Y/N's ruthless bully—dives into a pool and emerges as a crimson-tailed outcast with explosive power she can't control. She's also permanently aquatic, ripped from her human life forever. Now Y/N is the only one who can walk on land. The only one who can deliver messages, buy supplies, and keep their secrets. The only lifeline for a boy who can't remember his past and a girl who's lost her future. But Luke's memory-scales are humming with a dangerous truth: Y/N's own mother is the reason he was erased. And as the echoes surface, Y/N must choose—protect their family, or save the two people who now depend on them to survive.
