The Good Life: Fly Me to the Moon (ch. 54)

The next three months were spent mopping up, if I had to describe them. The resistance was pretty much crushed and decapitated after Nora surrendered. A lot of natives to the Wasteland chose to leave the Commonwealth after the Minutemen’s defeat...

The Good Life: City of the Dead (ch. 53)

The battle began in earnest after her declaration and it was then that something became very apparent. For a month, Taylor had been preparing to conquer the Wasteland. She had her queen ants overworking themselves to create an army large enough to...

The Good Life: Anything Goes (ch. 52)

Taylor had absolutely no idea what she was doing. She thought she did. All the way up to that first kiss, she had a plan. She would impress Law, work her way up to a position of power and influence, and from there she would dismantle Law's organiz...

The Good Life: It's Just A Matter Of Time (ch. 51)

“Unfortunately, synthesizing the two agents together has produced… unpredictable results,” Shaun admitted as I leaned forward, looking down at a mouse on a wheel that blurred forward at around three hundred miles an hour. The cage that it wa...

Legends Never Die: Deals with the Devil (ch. 87)

Out of everyone that could have arrived on the ship, the very last people I expected it to be were Otto and Astolfo. I hadn't seen Otto since the revenge killings in Francia where I had him and some prisoners escape the coming slaughter. We didn't...

Legends Never Die: The Start of Something New (ch. 86)

Six months could pass deceptively quickly, I discovered. It felt like nothing more than a blink of an eye looking back at the months that went by, but at the same time, so much happened during that time. Winter once again came and went with barely...

Legends Never Die: Embracing Change (ch. 85)

There were other buildings I should probably start with, I knew, as I hammered away at a chisel, taking chunks of stone with every strike. What Lay Within was guiding my hand, showing me what the marble wanted to be and it was up to me to bring it...

Legends Never Die: Polite Words (ch. 84)

Becoming nobility came with some unfortunate costs that only made themselves known in hindsight. The social protocols that I benefited from, which made me someone that simply couldn't be ignored, also applied to others. Noble obligations, as Jill ...

Best of Intentions: How Far We've Come (ch. 5)

Despite it all, I did manage to snag a long rest. Cure Wounds did nothing to deal with my mental exhaustion, and after the day that we just had, I was utterly spent. I actually felt a bit bad about it when I realized I more or less passed all resp...

A Golden Path: First Steps 1.2 (ch. 2)

“I mislike this,” Mance Rayder muttered, his breath coming out as a cloud of fog. The snows had receded, making it possible to travel beyond the Wall, but the cutting chill in the air was still there. He leaned against the cold stone of Castle...

Best of Intentions: This Fyre (ch. 4)

Oh, he was big. Oh, he was scary. Oh, he was big and scary and this entire situation was not part of the plan! I thought Nemesis would be hunting Jill -- it’s why I gave her the tattoo. Why was he here!? Right now, appearing as if he fell out of...

Best of Intentions: Come Sweet Death (ch. 4)

"I cannot believe this is working," Jill marveled as I fought to keep a smirk off of my face, adjusting my hard hat and my bright orange reflective vest as I finished tying off the caution tape to some of those orange and white barrel things. I wa...

Ghastly Adventures: Teardrop 3.3 (ch. 17)

There aren't really words to describe a gyarados in action. The waters surged around him as he swam forward with shocking speed, causing the platforms to flip over in his wake as he parted the arena. My stomach was doing flips inside of me because...

Ghastly Adventures: Teardrop 3.2 (ch. 16)

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions. Past me really was the worst. Seriously, what had he been thinking, kicking the hand grenade my way so it would blow up in my face?

“Hullo?” I said, and I'd be lying if I...

Ghastly Adventures: Teardrop 3.1 (ch. 15)

I cracked a hundred wins. All I needed to do after the Gym battle was to hang out at one of the battle courts and they came lining up. It was a good experience for Trevenant, who rapidly got used to his new body in a safe competitive setting. He m...

Ghastly Adventures: Cascade 2.9 (ch. 14)

Marnie got her gym badge and the entire battle was pretty enlightening. Especially when she had been marked for one of the play battles -- she wasn't given lines or anything, but she had been described on the stage by a narrator rather than an ann...

The Good Life: City of the Dead (ch. 53)

The battle began in earnest after her declaration and it was then that something became very apparent. For a month, Taylor had been preparing to conquer the Wasteland. She had her queen ants overworking themselves to create an army large enough to...

The Good Life: Atom Bomb Baby (ch. 50)

“That stupid, vicious whore,” Cinder snarled, clenching her jaw as she looked out at the battlefield where a small, localized, mushroom cloud was blossoming above the shattered skyline. A mini-nuke, Cinder knew. She recognized the smaller atom...
