Launch Day Part 9
The old royal hunting grounds turned park turned something of a magical nature reserve within the heart of the city that was Bois de Boulogne laid, annoyingly enough, to the west of everything else Mirana needed. Quite the distance to boot, especially with the enlarged Paris' extra distance, past the absolutely towering megastructure of Eiffel on the south bank of Seine or the majesty of Arc de Triomphe north of the river.
It was a massive f...

Launch Day Part 8
Marie's next stop was still on the Quai des Orfèvres, if on the other side of the street from the river. A stocky building which looked almost carved from a singular block of stone and dropped between other, more typical buildings. Full of dwarves as well, although with the occasional elf mingled among the crowd of artisans absolutely stuffing the main floor.
"OI, PLAITLING!" A thunderous voice already carrying an undercurrent of complai...

January 16th
“I need advice on how to deal with some Servants.” Outis cut right to the chase as he set down the oldest poisoneur’s Card on the coffee table between him, Elizabeth and Moriarty. The sheer irony of aiming that question at these two didn’t escape him.
“I’d say the ship has already sailed, given curry Jeanne and baron de Rais.” Elizabeth commented dryly, keeping up her sulky pout for pity points and dramatics. Mostly ...

“Jeez, where is that fucking cretin?”
Imya hummed in absentminded agreement as he swiped the wallet of a passing NPC… twenty-five euros. Not much, but despite BloodRose’s egging, he refrained from poking at passing players. Sure, even with starting gear and whatever ...

Launch Day Part 6
The small bit of bonding served as enough of a time waster that Marie didn’t even notice when she was in front of the workshop providing Engineering tutorial. The entrance to it was strewn with half assembled machinery, partially stripped engines and a fair few oil stains and torch marks.
The tutorial NPC was partially hidden underneath a slightly elevated truck, humming to himself as he went through the motions. Eventually, he wheeled hi...

Amy woke up to… someone’s hands gently shaking her awake. Startling, she opened her eyes to the unfamiliar ceiling, her mind flooding with momentary confusion before the… events of the previous day’s afternoon came back. The dinner. Carol being her charming self more than usual. Epopeia… Outis, she supposed, leaping to her indirect defence in response to the equally indirect attack (even if it was probably, ...

Launch Day Part 5
The Cour des Miracles was located underground, if not quite deep enough as to encroach upon the Catacombs. The NPCs inhabiting the area lent it the air of a land frozen in time, full of colourful, outlandish clothes and style, with freely cast magic filling the area with all kinds of effects. Rather fitting, was it not? For this land, her beloved Avalon, truly was the greatest of miracles made manifest upon the world.
Mira's goal was a spec...

Launch Day Part 4
Alchemy in SAO, Imya decided, was fun. In a government building like Prefecture de Police, it was very much reminiscent of regular lab, or chemistry lessons. Pitchers and stations and bubbling, glowing liquids flowing through glass into containers and whatnot. He was given to understand that out in the field alchemists used mobile cauldrons, though.
Shaped rather like onions, if he was to be honest. The suspiciously young-looking, dwar...

The probably-a-tanuki brought her pipe back to her mouth and took a long, deep drag before exhaling a plume of smoke above Kana's head. "Still, I said I'd help and I'll be damned if I weasel out just 'cause a child has poor taste." Pointing her pipe at Kana, she continued. "Riiiight, since you seem to have a good idea of the mindset you wish to cultivate, let's just go through the mechanics of it."

Marie fiddled with the menu a bit, her right hand's gauntlet shimmering away at the same time a knife plopped from the ether into her left. It perhaps said a lot about her there was barely even a hitch of hesitation before she slashed across her palm, clean and smooth. The pain just felt like when she dreamed, distant and disjointed and no problem at all.
There was a notification about a hilariously low amount of HP being subtracted from Marie's ove...

Hey everyone! with the launch of my unexpected SAO project, I now have two stories being published. As the author's note for Chapter 1 states, the current release is something of a special occasion. In the future, my projects have the expected upload schedule as follows:
Monday - A different Kind of Whale
Wednesday - Spiritual Ascension Online
Friday - Spiritual Ascension Online
Additionally, me and my co-authors for SAO (Nihilio, Miho Chan and Iri...

January 15th
“On one hand, this is not what I expected of my first job from you.” Katsumi commented shakily as she clung to Yellow Rider atop Nearl. The New Wave did, in fact, contact Epopeia the very next day to invite her ‘and anyone she was comfortable with bringing along’ to a weekend dinner at one of their homes. Victoria, in turn, gave Outis a green light on making any kind of entrance she wanted, as long as it wasn’t illegal.

[You are aware that simply utilising a certain aspect of Violet Caster’s skill set will not be enough to actually shift the card towards specialising in it.] Da’at eventually, after a few days of downtime, decided to pipe up.

Lisa tapped the desk with her pen, consulting her cliff notes again. Yesterday was certainly a day, she had to admit. Eventful.

“Why am I here again?” Amy grouched, slumped as she was in one of the cheap plastic chairs the cafe overseeing the beach hauled out in great numbers to capitalise on the surprise event.
“Because your date wanted to check out a concert put up by a cute lizard girl.” Vicky teased her sister while sipping on her latte. “Which, hey, whatever else happens Ames, silver lining. Now you know she likes girls.”

“Explain to me why I should sign off on this… endeavour of yours, Brad?”
Because you’re just as likely to suggest it openly at the next meeting. Because the Empire's image must be strong. One thing to retreat from Lung or PRT, another to get a black eye from a newcomer. Were all the things Hookwolf thought but didn’t say. Working with Kaiser was… trying, sometimes. The whole song and dance of having the...

“Mmmmm~... hmmm~.” Elizabeth hummed cheerfully the tune of her ol’ reliable under her nose as she skipped along the streets of the downtown Brockton Bay. The city was kinda dreary, in her honest opinion, but then, she did remember the flash and splendour of Millennium Capital and Mare Aurum, the almost overwhelming decadence of Vegas and even the sunny carefreeness of Hawai’i. Okay, so maybe that last part was really unfair, the island w...

Only his mask kept the eyesearing glow and violent winds from blinding him, leaving him free to scoop up the fist-sized tooth and gold-ringed phial off the centre of the magic circle encompassing most of the room.

The holiday weekend finally ended, and with it, the Boardwalk finally opened back fully, alongside the rest of the city. Which meant it was time to go on a proper shopping spree, to ensure Outis had enough clothes to last her without repetition. That was Elizabeth’s decree. The Countess herself decided it would be good to pick up some of the local fashion for her own, too, seeing as the Csejte didn’t exactl...

While I am still developing my Patreon, there are plans for tier 3 membership. However, since said membership relies heavily of heaving a new ideas actually being in the works, as, amongst other things, it'd allow your input in the writing process.
Also, y'know, planning to make a Discord server for patrons so said storyboarding would be smoother, but that requires me to sit down and make it when I have a day off to make sure I don't fuck it up :v.

A swift motion of the gloved hand is all it takes to rip the thrall’s throat out, causing the thing’s blood to generously spray the altar of Harkon’s patron. The ancient vampire lord watches impassively as he stews on his thoughts. He is close, so close, to fulfilling his destiny, and yet so far. It took centuries for his servants to find where his treacherous wife spirited their daughter away. Centuries upon mill...

Here's something we (me and Nihilo, who is pretty much my co-author for most everything) never got around to posting. A story which, truth be told, came out motivated partially out of spite for the writing of RWBY for the volumes 7-8 especially, which might be why I kinda lost the interest in it, since I, personally, kept up with the show until vol.4.

Chapter 14: Mandatory Beach Episode, Shivering Isles Coast Edition
They fly over the clouds, guarded against cold air by the Thu’um and bask in the light of Secunda and Masser. Durnehviir grips Erin a little bit tighter as she drinks in the sight of the twin moons, the red and silver globes reflecting in her eyes. If Erin were a poet, she’d be spitting verses right about now. As it is, her thirst simply climbs another notch.

Come next morning, a rather obvious problem with Csejte was made apparent. Namely, while the castle was a good base of operations, especially with Bounded Fields set up, it did not, exactly, come with the larders already filled. Which meant no breakfast for Outis, and no meals for the future until something was done about the fact. The Wraith which delivered the news, alongside staff’s apologies for the lack of...

One of the Boardwalk enforcers, fortunately, knew of a few smaller internet cafes which made a tidy profit purely on being open...

The new year greeted the city with, surprisingly enough, quiet and calm. At least in this particular portion of it. The snow laid thick on the wide, open streets, shining in the reflected light of the morning sun, intercepted with long shadows of the skyscrapers dominating the landscape. An astute eye could spot empty cans and bottles and burnt out fireworks lying around, which together with the broken windows some of the shorter buildings sported, s...

My current ongoing project is a Worm/FGO-based Gamer Friend Insert fanfic. It's something if an amusing project, seeing as neither of us read Worm, only some of its fanfics. We wanted to see how much we can do going only by fandom's wiki, fanon osmosis and our own unsupported headcanons.
As for me personally, I have hope of writing something for MHA, with vague snapshot of a plot already in place, but otherwise, there's nothing cooking.
