For all that I had learned a lot in my classes this past semester, it was good to be able to pursue my own personal projects again, even just for a short time.
“Good, good, just like that. Nice and relaxed. Calm. We’re almost done.” My hand moved slowly along Miranda’s bare back and I continued to murmur reassurances as my mana swe...
2023-12-15 20:41:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey, sorry for the delay with today's chapter! Had a pipe burst this afternoon and I've been dealing with that all day. Still, its still Sunday for me so it counts! Haven't fucked up a release day yet!
“And they do that sort of thing after every patrol?” I asked, already dreading the answer.
Carol didn...
2023-12-11 07:36:18 +0000 UTC View Post“So, Victor and Othala?” I asked. “I know that Othala is the healer, but what’s Victor’s thing?”
Triumph, who was staring out the window of the PRT van that had picked us up barely thirty seconds after console had contacted us, turned to look at me. “Oh, right, I forgot for a moment that you’re new to Brockton. Um, Othala i...
2023-12-03 21:47:25 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes I’m not the sharpest sword in the armory. I’ve made some pretty dumb decisions over the years and even taking into account my dyslexia and ADHD my grades pretty clearly reflect my academic talents. I’ve had like, a B-. Once. Out of sheer dumb luck. Hades, I’m a sixteen year old highschool dropout. Like I said, academics were ne...

I really appreciate everyone that has stuck around on the Patreon despite my rather lackluster writing speed. You guys are amazing and I'm so lucky to have each and every one of you. In the spirit of Thanksgiv...
2023-11-24 02:20:18 +0000 UTC View PostI made it to the Pelhams a little after ten. Crystal met me at the door, a finger on her lips as she told me that her parents were already asleep. She led me up the stairs to a sparsely-furnished bedroom at the end of the hall, showing me the bathroom, her room, her parent’s room, and the room where Eric was still awake doing his homework alon...
2023-11-20 00:05:39 +0000 UTC View PostCarol Dallon was…quite the person. She had an air about her sort of like one of those super strict teachers, the ones who don’t really like kids very much and you can never quite understand why they decided elementary school was for them. Just looking at her I never would have guessed she was actually a superhero with more than ...
2023-11-13 02:52:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, if you haven't seen it already I've recently started a new project for the month of November. Its called 'Another Chance at Life' and the first two chapters are already up for all patrons. Chapter three should be up later today, maybe tomorrow at the very latest.
Anyway, with that out of the way, enjoy th...

Mottled, gray-black fur that blended seamlessly into the bare stone behind it? Also check. That sure was a slaughterwolf! A very big, very hungry looking slaughterwolf.

2023-11-03 12:18:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, this is the first chapter of my new project for the month of November (and maybe a bit after). I'm writing this for NaNoWriMo and the Royal Road Writathon. Its not intended to be nearly as long-term nor expansive as my other stories, and the plan is to put out a chapter every day or three until the end of the month. Updates for...
2023-11-02 03:57:25 +0000 UTC View PostNovember is coming up, and with it NaNoWriMo and the Royal Road Writathon! I didn't finish it last year, but I'm going to try again this year with a brand new project that I will be posting here, on QQ, and on RR. The plan is for it to be a much shorter story with a much smaller scope than my usual work, but honestly I don't know how tha...
2023-10-29 23:13:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am very much alive, just unreasonably busy with travel/life/work etc. After a too-long wait, the next chapter has finally arrived!

2023-10-29 22:27:34 +0000 UTC View PostI shifted nervously from foot to foot, my eyes warily watching the gloomy, overcast sky. It had been a very rainy, unpleasant morning, with thick fog blanketing the coast and making it hard for normal people to see anything. It didn’t really bother me much, my clothes stayed dried unless I wanted them not too and the fog actually improved<...
2023-10-22 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately Patreon doesn't seem to like text formatting very much. If someone happens to know how to make the PHO bit at the end work correctly, please do let me know.
It took more than two hours of tossing and turning, but eventually I did manage to fall back asleep despite my racing thoughts and the stabbing pain behi...
2023-10-16 02:52:44 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the next one! Should be one more chapter and we'll finally be done with the (first) Xethis arc of the story! It's so exciting to be wrapping up plot lines instead of adding new ones! Writing has been rather slow, I have covid right now and some of my family had it before me so that's made things complicated, but I'm starting to fe...
2023-10-11 03:15:54 +0000 UTC View PostHours later, curled up on a makeshift bed of soft sand and wrapped in a blanket of warm currents, my eyes finally closed as sleep took me into its comforting embrace. It had been a very long two days and I was utterly exhausted.
Despite my weariness, sleep did not come easily to me tonight. My conversation with the Undersiders had left me ...
2023-10-08 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostTattletale was concerned. Worried, even. Stressed too. As much as she would like to deny it, she was scared. Her eyes flickered between Brian’s broad back, the laid-out form of Brutus, and the nonchalant looking cape that seemed to be the source of all her headaches today.
Brian turned to look at her and, even without using power, she co...
2023-10-01 19:24:34 +0000 UTC View PostHours later, I found myself sitting on an old bench staring out at a nearly empty stretch of beach. Low tide was just a few minutes out here, the ocean having retreated to reveal a long stretch of smooth, wet sand. Despite the cold, two barefoot teens were running along the waterline, leaving shallow footprints in their wake.

2023-09-25 05:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt was morning by the time I finally made it back to the city, the sun just barely peeking over the distant horizon. It was cold and windy, but the sky was clear and the sunrise painted the sea with streaks of glorious gold.
Before making landfall I spent a half-hour exploring the bay, crisscrossing the sandy depths and watching the coast ...
2023-09-25 05:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt was gone. All of it. Just… gone. Missing. Absent. Camp, Olympus, Atlantis, my mom’s apartment, all of it. Just… just gone. I didn’t understand. What the hell had happened? Where was I? When was I? What was I going to do?
The sea beneath me felt strange, though that might just have been the panic clawing at my throat. It had take...
2023-09-25 05:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn my experience, the best way to deal with gods is to not deal with them at all. Take it from someone who’s met way too many of them. Most gods are assholes. Even my dad, one of the nicest and most personable gods I’d met, had a rather hefty reputation for being a dick when offended or minorly inconvenienced.
Unfortunately, g...
2023-09-25 05:01:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! So this is the first chapter of a new project I'm working on. It's a Percy Jackson/Worm crossover featuring a slightly AU Percy inserted into Worm. The goal is for this story to update once a week on Sundays, partially with the hope that a consistent update schedule here will help me get more consistent with my other projects.&...

It was nothing compared to the barriers I had been developing and practicing over the past few months, worse even than what I had managed during my terrified flight...
2023-09-25 00:30:47 +0000 UTC View PostIt's finally time to wrap up the Xethis arc (for now) (this is going to take more than one chapter to be clear)! Let me know what you guys think!

In other news, I've recently started working on another project that will ...
2023-08-24 20:39:39 +0000 UTC View PostI think this will be the first and only time I go through all of Orion's final exams, that took way too many chapters and honestly didn't add as much to the story as I initially thought it would. In the future, we're probably going to brush over a lot of that. Let me know if you think thats a good idea or not!
And here is the last of the exam chapters! Took longer than it should have because of some very unfortunate illness.
Despite having said that the exam was over, what Professor Meadows actually meant was that the part of the exam that required our active participation was over. After we had all exited the confines of the ru...
2023-07-21 00:35:25 +0000 UTC View PostWell this is kind of embracing. I really thought I'd posted this last night, but apparently I never clicked the 'publish now' button before closing my computer.

2023-07-08 06:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter two-and-a-half years at Avalon, I could safely say that I absolutely loathed written exams. They were tedious, stressful, frustrating, and never failed to leave me grinding my teeth in anxiety until the professor finally decided to actually grade them. Even worse, basically everyone, including many of the teachers assigning them, agreed th...
