This Fire Burns - Chapter 15

[July 5, 2007]

Thinking back on it, Jason’s theory about monsters targeting demigods in Camp Jupiter made even more sense. The entire state was crawling with creatures drawn to us. The horde outside the library back in Berkeley had been bad, but the amount that attacked us at the LA Union Station made it look like a joke...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 15

I sat cross-legged at the base of the ancient tree with my eyes closed. For the past three days, I had remained in this spot, trying to learn how to sense the unseeable. 

The dog clan had nothing like the toad oil of Mount Myoboku to make the process easier. This was a trial of pure concentration. 

Kanazuji never left eithe...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 14

[July 3, 2007]

I stuffed one last thing into my backpack before zipping it closed. A pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, toiletries, oh, and the little wooden flame Gwen had given me on my first day here. My Sigillaria. A good luck charm couldn’t hurt.

Jason was doing the same, though his packing method was noticeably ...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 13

[July 2, 2007]

I leaned back on the plush couch in the common room, watching Jason sip his soda as he meticulously polished Ivlivs.

His birthday celebration yesterday had been a rowdy one. I even baked a three-layer cake for him. 

“You know, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever,” I sa...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 14

After my victory against Yugito, a part of me was expecting the Raikage to find some shameless excuse to go back on his word. To my surprise, he had stuck to it. I suppose in the end, he was a man who respected power above all else, and I had left no room for doubt about mine. He was ready to agree to our revised treaty, but Hiruzen went out of ...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 12

[Jupiter]

Visiting Vesta’s palace for their new “tradition” of observing their children had become a regular, if sometimes trying, ritual for Jupiter. Though ‘tradition’ made it sound like he enjoyed these visits. In truth, they were one of the few moments he could wrest control from his furious Greek counterpart...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 13

This felt strange.

For half of my life, travel meant speed and concealment, moving through the trees as shadows. The only time I’d leave the village was for a mission, and missions were measured in efficiency. 

But not today. Three of the Leaf’s most powerful shinobi walked side by side down the main road for all the world t...

September Gold Bonus Poll (2)

I've been a bit busy this week, so I'm likely only getting 3 chapters done total. 1 for each fic, you guys can decide which one gets the 3rd chapter.

This Fire Burns - Chapter 11

[January 8th, 2006]

[Kayla Brooks]

The Field of Mars was a beautiful mess. The ground was pitted with old explosion craters and scarred with trenches from previous games. At the north end of the field stood their target: A stone fortress the engineers had slapped together, complete with an iron portc...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 10

After my little wager with the Praetors, Jason and I were cleared to leave the infirmary. The rest of the cohort was still at afternoon training with the other centurion. I could’ve rejoined them, but I figured this was the perfect time for the two of us to finish our talk without an audience.

Except, things hadn’t gone according to pl...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 12

[Jiraiya]

From his perch high in the branches overlooking Team Ro’s private training grounds, Jiraiya squinted down as he watched two Kakashis stand facing one another. One formed a spiraling sphere of chakra in his palm, the other cupped his hands around it, funneling something into the center. After a minute, the clone...

The Celestial Copy - Chapter 11

[Hiashi Hyūga]

The room was quiet, except for the sound of his daughter’s breathing.

Hiashi sat perfectly still beside the bed. He had been there for hours, assuring himself that Hinata was safe.

Before, he trusted the Byakugan for that certainty. The all-seeing white eyes were the pride of his clan. But ton...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 9

Jason led me across the Field of Mars, past the orderly rows of sparring grounds and into the far corner where the catapults and ballistae stood. They were massive tools of destruction, resting quietly for now. The place was empty except for us.

I immediately understood his choice of location. He wasn't acting like a Centurion about to mak...

This Fire Burns - Chapter 8

[January 4th, 2005]

By the gods, if I hear the word “pozzolana” one more time, I might set the desk on fire.

Cassius, a legacy of Apollo and a student from New Rome University who was teaching our class, was on his third slide about the marvels of Roman concrete. His toga was perfectly pressed, and he had the vib...

Tsura took a deep breath, letting the scent of sizzling meat roll through her senses.

They were at Yakiniku Q, Kuma’s cousin’s restaurant. What started as Kuma’s treat to celebrate a successful first mission had quickly do...

We were in the middle of a training exercise called “Retrieve the Scroll” at Team Ro's private training ground. 

My team consisted of me, Yugao, and Akito. Our goal was to snatch the scroll from a pedestal in the center of the field before fifteen minutes were up....

The air was cold on the morning of December 23rd.

Gwen leaned against the outside wall of the Fifth Cohort barracks, holding a mug of hot chocolate in her hands. She could hear bursts of laughter from inside the barracks, even the Fifth found...

So, I decided to start up a Patreon. I post on FFN and AO3 but my preferred posting site is QQ, which you need a registered account for. (It's like 1 or 2 chapters ahead)
