Third Person's POV
During the day, it's a place filled with wonders. The sun gleams and its heat burns and tortures the skin. The trees look like they're in desperate need of a trickle of water, yet they behold lives of many tiny creatures. The only people who might somehow enjoy their time when the sun is still a visitor are the innocent children. At night, the demons come out. They destroy the small amount of existence that was present during the day. They haunt the people who are at their weakest, pushing them over the edge, or just destroying them more than their problems already do. The wonders that fill this place aren't exactly wonderful. They're bizarre and peculiar because they're only existent in Liam's mind. This is nothing like the real world. In all actuality, the true life that people live can be happy and can be wistful. Some people live nostalgic and some people live for tomorrow. Liam was that percentage that was just miserable. He built a city in his dreams and imagination that wasn't entirely better than his reality, but he somehow had a sense of control over it. He can make it happy, like his own fairytale, but he chose to keep it similar to his own life so that he wouldn't lose his grip entirely.
He lies to himself and convinces it that life would get better one day, but he knows that he's just dancing around his lies at the end of the day. Unlike many people, Liam wasn't in the highest place in his palace, he lived in its ruins and he didn't quite mind, as long as he was still living. He was the sole character in this tragedy, he was the actor of all the sad parts because after all, it was a tragedy.

Slowly but surely a new character came into the picture, Niall Horan. He was accepted into Liam's life when he was proven to be a similar character to the main one. Niall's world wasn't that different to Liam's, only a bit brighter, just a bit.
Now, the sun gleamed brighter, more people had a smile gracing their tired features, the demons were chased away by an unknown force. Liam knew who was the cause of all of this, but he refused to believe it or like accept it just yet. Everything happened so fast for Liam's unchanging life, that it took him some time to adapt. He wasn't used to having someone sharing his role, someone who understood him.
The blonde who still had some of his innocence stored in his somehow pure heart didn't mind sharing it with Liam. His heart called out to the poor boy and he wanted to wrap him in his arms and just keep him there, away from the demons, or it could be the other way around; he just wanted to be close to Liam.
After an expected struggle, both boys were climbing up the stairs towards the peak of their unexposed palace. When the feeling of security and courage overtook their hearts, they were both ready to escape their palace and this still foreign city, and enter the familiar and former hell. They still couldn't get out, they still haven't found their strong and powerful release. Everyday they became convinced even more that they were completely ready to go back to the real life. The gates still wouldn't open. They still weren't allowed to exit this city.
"I love you." They spoke at the same time; the gates finally crashed down.

Is That A Wisp?
Author’s Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It’s at that point that the book’s charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!).

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
