Best of Intentions: River Below (ch. 13)

Chris had to admit that things… weren't going that great.. It wasn't really a surprise. Things not going great is probably the best way to understate that the world was staring down the barrel of a gun, one in the hands of idiots with itchy trig...

A Golden Path: First Steps 1.9 (ch. 9)

Ned soon found that he had underestimated the harshness of Skagos, as all his plans fell apart upon the discovery that he had beheaded the very last of the Crowl bloodline, something he could scarce believe even now. The North was by far the harsh...

Best of Intentions: My Way (ch. 12)

“It's like these people have never even heard of safety measures. How exactly do you have an outbreak in the facility that's specifically dedicated to developing antivirals and countermeasures to the crap the other Hive is cooking up? I swear, I...

A Fun Time: Clockwork Island 3.4

My body was weird. I had already noticed the changes in appearance, and how strong I was, but I don't think it had ever been clearer than when it came to recovering. Tae gave me the news -- in total, I had shattered nearly every bone in my hands a...

Some Sad News

I'm sorry I missed The Good Life's update yesterday. Unfortunately, life has kicked me square in the pants, and I completely forgot that it was Friday. One of my dogs passed away a couple of days ago but I had expected that due to longstanding med...

The Good Life: Momentum (ch. 68)

“La da ah-ah-ah,” I sang under my breath, humming a song that I didn't know the name of as I pieced together two parts of a contraption. Another invention that I had started playing around with in the aftermath of my rather successful debut to...

The Good Life: Small World (ch. 67)

There were some days that Mel Medarda was almost thankful that her mother had banished her from Noxus. It was a brutal land that only understood force and strength -- where your value came from what you could take from others and how well you coul...

The Good Life: Showmanship (ch. 66)

Getting the jitters was a pretty normal part of life. No one was immune to it -- I sure wasn't. Back before it all began, before the ball really started rolling and I crossed the Rubicon, I had been anxious and uncertain about going through with b...

The Good Life: Cult of Curses (ch. 65)

As irritating as he found it, Sukuna knew from the very start that he would need to change his Tithe. For centuries, he had collected cursed energy in one of two ways -- the more reliable being from the terror, pain, and rage that he harvested fro...

Legends Never Die: Moments of Peace (ch. 100)

The alliance was made and it was a colossal weight off of my shoulders, I thought to myself as my ship sailed back into Norland’s harbor. My departure and arrival disguised as visiting one of the outposts on Sicily, ensuring that my meeting with...

Legends Never Die: Forgotten Conversations (ch. 99)

It was strange to think, but under different circumstances, I believe Caliph Harun Al-Rashid and I could have been friends. If I had been a Muslim, or he a Norseman, I suspected that we would have gotten along quite well. Our interests overlapped ...

Legends Never Die: Foundations of the Future (ch. 98)

Hadi had a plan.

It wasn't an ideal one. Not even close. But, that was to be expected in his trying circumstances. If things were ideal, then he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place -- married to an ambitious and beautiful woman...

Legends Never Die: The More Things Change (ch. 97)

Things hardly settled with our victory. It took time for the effects to ripple out across the Roman Empire, which found itself shocked by waves of news. First, that iconoclasm had been officially repealed by the Pope and Patriarch of the Faith. Th...

Best of Intentions: River Below (ch. 13)

Things weren't going that great, Chris Redfield could admit to himself. It wasn't really a surprise. Things not going great is probably the best way to understate what happened when the world was staring down the barrel of a gun in the hands of id...

A Golden Path: First Steps 1.9 (ch. 9)

Ned had underestimated the harshness of Skagos as his plans fell apart upon the discovery that he had beheaded the last of the Crowl bloodline. The North was the harshest of the lands, but even the Houses with few branches had cousins. Even as spa...

A Golden Path: First Steps 1.8 (ch. 8)

Skagos was a rough and barren land, Ned thought to himself as they arrived upon the island under a dense and heavy fog. The ride had been a short one, thankfully, but a tense one. Robert had braced himself against the railing in anticipation that ...

The Good Life: Small World (ch. 67)

There were some days that Mel Medarda was almost thankful that her mother had banished her from Noxus. A brutal land that only understood force and strength -- where your value came from what you could take from others and protect what you had. Pi...

The Good Life: College Acceptance (ch. 64)

I felt like a kid in a candy shop with a no limit black card. The possibilities were endless, and I was almost left frozen from choice paralysis. In a way it was almost lucky that Rumi and Asami had helped point the way for me. Letting me go in a ...

Hope of Morning (Jujutsu Kaisen/Fate: Grand Order)

“Zabaniya!” Exclaimed the cloaked man before him, the bandages on his arm falling away to reveal a funky-looking red arm that shot forward like a snake. The man wore a skull mask, hiding his face, but the sound of triumph in his voice was unmi...

Legends Never Die: The More Things Change (ch. 97)

Michael Lachanodrakon was not a fool.

In my experience, most of Constantinople’s high nobility maintained their position purely because their peers were every bit as foolish as they were. That wasn't the case for Michael. He was a militar...
