Dark Legend of Potter: Chapter 72

Clinging desperately to Ron, Megumin let out a squeal as the broom banked sharply, the climbed steeply.

“M-Megumin, you’re going to choke me!” Ron gasped, and Megumin eased up slightly, but didn’t let go entirely. The ground was rather far away, and while Megumin considered herself to be fearless, she was finding she didn’t enjoy bobbing about on the breeze at breakneck speeds while 100 feet off the ground. 

“Just get there before Trashzuma gets it!” Megumin his...

Animula Choragi 19: Can You Hear the People Sing? 

Early on in Furina’s reign, she had visited the Fortress of Meropede and established it as Fontaine's penitentiary. It had already been a place of exile for criminals and was an autonomous region, but she still visited and inspected the facilities to ensure that Fontainian prisoners were given adequate shelter, food, and wor...

K-02:Much the same. I am as I have ever been. There have been philosophical schools that mused that stories in our world may reflect reality in some other world. Perhaps the story of Sapphara and Nahalandran is real...

Animula Choragi 18: Seize the Day 

Yennifer was just getting her purse and pulling on her combat boots when the light in Charlotte’s room flicked on. She groaned. And here she thought she’d been quieter. Her sister stumbled out, pint hair sticking up all over the place and glasses slightly crooked. “Hey, what’s up? It’s after midnight.”

“Go back to sleep, t...

Entry 28, Day 59

Sometimes, you see it coming when life kicks you in the nuts. Other times, it blind sides you, even when you probably could have and should have seen it coming. We woke up at 9:00 am after our failed date, expecting to be needed at the hospital in an hour for a shift. Instead, we had a notice from Kal’tsit that we were to keep low for the day. They were analyzing the security risk still it seemed.

“Great, now what do we do?” I sighed. “We’re trapped in t...

Animula Choragi 17: Look Down

Clenching and unclenching his fists, Iron Mask looked around the room at his underlings and seethed. Even that fool Mégret was shuffling papers and not looking at Iron Mask. The idiots knew who was really the one running France, and it wasn’t the balding moron with the suit. No, Iron Mask ruled here. It was his power, his abilities that had created this so-called gov...

Entry 27 Day 58

Being the most popular man on the planet should come with some perks, right? I mean, I guess we get the swanky new executive suite to stay in, but come on! I was hoping that my newfound status as the world’s most wanted man would mean that I got like, free drinks and stuff. Well, I suppose I could get free drinks, but the getting of them would be…problematic. 

So far, this has just been a colossal headache. 

After Sussurro and I moved i...

The very air trembled with the roar of the crowd, and the earth shook with the tread of heavy military boots. Confetti and streamers fluttered in the air, and bright colors filled Snezhnaya Plaza. Below Kollei, a sea of celebration spread out as the Fatui marched in triumph through New Moscow. Thousands of jubilant Russians waved and cheered, with children riding on their parents shoulders in order to se...

There were only a few weeks left in the school year, and the students of Collège Jean-Baptiste Delorme were rapidly losing interest in academics and thinking of what they would be doing come the first week in July when school ended. The same affliction had touched Barbara and Charlotte, though their dreams were somewhat different than their peers.

I can’t see. My left eye…it’s gone. I guess I’m a pirate now. 

Fuck. At least Sussurro is here. I hurt everywhere. Maybe that was all a bad idea. 

Never mind. Rope came to see us. She’s in a wheelchair. Couldn’t save her legs. But she’s alive. She talked, a lot. I tried to listen. It hurts so much. Couldn’t. But she’s alive. She’s happy.

She’s…she’s a real person. A kid, really. I think she’s nineteen? I f...

Furina burst into the apartment, bags of groceries on her arms, and a check in her hands. Yennifer looked up from the table, where she’d been typing on her laptop.

“Yennifer! Wonderful news!” Furina said, dancing over and handing the check over to Yen.

“Hmm, what is-” Yennifer looked at the check for a moment, slightly stun...

THE ADVENTURES OF LIGHTNING PRINCESS AMI: PART 1: MONDSTADT

Groaning, Ami sat up and blinked bleary-eyed around at her surroundings. Where was she? It had been Aether and Lumine’s going-away party, and she’d only had one or two beers that Caelus and Stelle had snuck into the palace. Or had it been five or six? After the first two, it was hard to remember. 

“M-Murasaki-san?” Ami groaned as she clutched at her head, squeezing her eyes shut from the harsh sun overhea...

Interlude: Son of Legend’s

“Hiyaaaa!” 

With all her strength, Taylor brought down her katana in a slicing motion she’d practiced at least a thousand times. And, once more, Sensei Kazoo deflected it almost casually. Taylor didn’t let her anger and frustration get a hold of her. She kept her emotions constrained as she’d been taught, smoothly moving through the forms to turn the downward slice into parry of Sensei’s own attack, their wooden swords a blur of mo...

Entry 22 Day 50

If you had told me that life on Terra could be “normal” two months ago, I’d have said you were crazy. Terra’s a damn death world with everything and everyone trying to kill you. 

Only…not quite. Life has been…well, pretty normal. Work at the hospital has been frantic to get all these new infected processed. Every single patient we admitted after the County Firth Bombing is now infected with oripathy, and we’ve started them all on drugs. ...

“What do we do?” Kazuma whispered to Darkness as they crouched over the bloody and comatose demon. “We can’t use healing magic on her, it would hurt her.”

“Um, perhaps…a kiss? She could get some essence that way,” Darkness suggested. 

“Yeah, but like, you, or me? You’re the man right now, remember.”

“Definitely you. I worry about this body’s vitality,” Darkness whispered. 

“Right. Uh, you Ok with me, you know…kissing another wo...

“Come on! It’s not much further!” Omar called, running across the gravelly soil. 

Behind him, Rana and Salim hurried as well. To the South, the desert stretched away from the rocky hills towards the Iraqi border. Here in the far east of Syria, the government's presence was spotty at the best of times, and people were left to eke out a living on their own. Children of age 8 and 9 didn’t attend school; they were expected to work ...

The door slammed open, and Lupin took a sip of hot tea. “Lupin, you’ll never believe what happened!” Sirius panted, a bit of snow still on his head. 

“Let me guess: they figured it out already.”

“They figured it out- how did you know that?!” 

“Because Megumin, when she’s not busy driving the staff insane, is a certifiable genius, much like her mother. Hermione isn’t far behind her in that regard, though she also has a great deal more sense. Then...

The Broad Side of a Barn, Chapter 9

Once he blinked the stars out of his eyes, Kazuma looked around the darkened carriage. He couldn’t see a damn thing! Whatever that light had been, it must have ruined his dark vision good and proper. “Darkness, are you alright? Did you get that necklace off?” 

He paused. Something was wrong with his voice. Something was wrong with him in general. He felt…numb. Like his sense of touch had been almost switched off. He groped blindly in the darkness and found a hand seizing hi...

When Wyatt had been a boy, he’d dreamed of exploring new worlds and finding new and wonderful discoveries. He’d read plenty of comic books, and imagined he’d be like Reed Richards or Tony Stark, inventing incredible things and using his creations to save the world. He’d worked hard in school, constantly studying and reading ahead, getting the best grades possible from an early age, and winning the science fair with his experiment...

I feel like shit. Not because I’m still sore from what Texas and Exusiai did to me, but because, well…turns out sometimes it’s not the super cancer, or the world ending apocalypses that wear you down. Sometimes it’s the day to day struggle of working as a doctor. Or being a complete idiot. But we’ll start with the doctor stuff, at least I’m kinda good at that. 

So, there I was, actually starting my first rotation at a hospital. I’m g...

By nature, I am not an early riser. Probably the number of late night shifts and all-nighters I’ve pulled. So let me say that when someone buzzed my door at 5am sharp on my first night in the new apartment, I was not thrilled. 

I stumbled out of my bed, pulling on a pair of rumpled pants, and opened the door with the t-shirt I’d slept in on, blinking at the bright artificial light. I was about to ask some pointed questions, then immediately came ...
