Author's Note: September 2025

Oooh boy... The last few months have... Well, they haven't been good. It's been very mentally taxing. And I'm extremely grateful for all of your patience with me. I'm hoping things are turning up now, and I think they are.

I'd rather not go into details. And I'm sure you don't want me to go into details. Several people have wished me well...

A Demon's Intent (A K-Pop Demon Hunter AU): Part 1

Quick Author's Note: I don't have much time for movies or tv-shows these days. And yet I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and absolutely loved it. It was much, much better than I was expecting. But when I looked through for fanfiction on it, I noticed a particular trend - Most people show Rumi as being the wounded one, the one needing help. Which...

Fortuna's Regret (A Worm AU): Part 1

Quick Author's Note: This one is another Worm AU. I saw this prompt from somewhere (Dont' ask me where, I can't remember), and my mind decided to dredge up the prompt and ask me 'how would you write this'? It'll predominately be a crack fic. ‘Through machinations of Contessa, Taylor is related to the Triumvirate.’ And how they deal with ...

Charlies Angels (A Hazbin Hotel AU): Part 1&2

Quick Author's Note: This is an odd one that my muse decided I should right. And who am I to argue with my muse? She's fickle enough as it is. The idea is that usually, when we see the Exorcists, they're a faceless enemy. it's easier to call them 'evil' if they have no face, no personality. They might as well be mindless drones save for Lute...

A Heroes Blessing: Part 8

Quick Author's Note: This one... Whooo boy, it fought me. Even now, especially with the conversation with Hebe, I don't like it. It does not feel right. But I've got it written down now, and while I'll probably change a bunch once I hand it over to my beta-readers, I've got something to show!

Author’s Note: May 2025

Hey everybody! Just wanted to give a quick update on things. Unfortunately, things have been very chaotic, in both work and in life. Add in that I’m preparing to move, and it’s been difficult to write, especially on top of life’s usual issues. That being said, I’m doing my best, and I hope to have something to post soon.

Thoughts on Hercules

Hey everybody!

This will be a bit of a different post. It's not a story, or even a section of a story, but some thoughts I had on Hercules from the Percy Jackson series.

See, after posting chapter 7 of ’A Heroes Blessing’, I noticed that there were several commenters and people who messaged me who were a bit critical of how I p...

Scene from A Heroes Blessing: Chapter 8

Author's Note: I am currently in the process of writing Chapter 8 of A Heroes Blessing, and I wanted to share this scene. It's very rough at the moment, but this particular scene is one that I've had in mind for over a year, and I'm very excited to actually have it written down and out of my head.

A Hero's Blessing: Part 7

Author's Note:

It's been a long time since I've posted for this story... And I feel really bad about that. See, this chapter is actually very similar to a previous post that you guys can find on here - Hebe's Intervention. But it wasn't originally my plan. I was going to more scenes to it - I wanted to go around and see what t...

A Heroic Night Guard chapter 2: Full chapter

There were a number of things to remember before attending any kind of job interview. Perhaps one of the more important ones to remember was the importance of presentation. 

Not to say one needed to show up in a suit and tie. But an effort should be made to look presentable. Clean clothes, showered… Little things like that.

Origin of 'A Better Master'

A number of people have come up with theories on how Taylor's power works in my story 'A Better Master', so I wanted to share this to explain one of the ideas that prompted that story.

Assuming Control (A Worm Fanfic)

Winslow

Taylor never saw the push coming. 

It was only two weeks after the Locker. Two weeks after the worst day of her life. Two weeks since she gained actual superpowers. 

Going back to school after that traumatic event was… Hard. But the Trio were actually giving her space. Maybe waiting to see if the Pr...

Sam's Decision: Love vs Loyalty Part 4

Skulker’s PoV

It took a bit to get the girl talking - the girl was reluctant to trust, but clearly felt she was backed into a corner. Eventually he had the full story, to his dread. 

“I thought Undergrowth was still hibernating in the Desolate Sea.” Skulker grumbled, regretting so many aspects of his unlife. ...

A Better Master: Chapter 3

Siberian’s PoV

The PRT ended up sending two sacrifices. 

Not that that’s what they were - Siberian had any intention of harming either of them - but the crowd certainly seemed to think so. And they clearly felt the same. They were so tense it was clear the two were one twitch away from a fight.

… It made her...

Clockwork’s Tower

Sam found Clockwork’s Tower rather easily.

Too easily. 

There weren’t many ghosts that Danny could call friend. Of those, the enigmatic ghost of time was probably her best bet. 

Still, Sam had expected to spend a while trying to find Clockwork’s Tower. They might have some thin...

The Wild Hunt (A Worm Fanfiction)

Fleur’s POV

Nobody truly knew what happened after somebody died. 

It was a question as old as humanity itself. The ultimate question, some would say. Something science had no chance of answering. Something religions couldn’t agree on, only that it was within the realm of faith. 

Jess sat on the edge of a ...

A Better Master: Chapter 2

Quick Author's Note: Didn't mean for this to be the next one I sent out, but for some reason my mind refused to leave it be. Let me know what you guys think! It still needs some polishing, but I think it turned out rather well.

A Better Master

Taylor’s PoV

“Help!”

Violent coughs racked through Taylor‘s body, each jarring inhalation bringing with it a surge of that foul odor.

Taylor’s voice was hoarse between the combination of throwing up and yelling. The horrendous smell, combined with claustrophobia, made it hard to breathe. She had long since be...

The Man that Won't Die Meets Death part 5

Hela found herself caught between dreams and waking. Half-aware, she took stock of her body and nearly went back to sleep on sheer principle. 

Her entire body was exhausted and stiff, far more than it had in years, to her shame. She took a deep breath, grimacing at the aches and pains that small action brought.

But, she was in h...

Thank you so much for your patience. I know I've lost a number of patrons because I haven't posted anything in a while, and I can't say I blame them. Things have been happening behind the scenes that makes everything difficult... But that's not for you guys to worry about. All I can do is offer my sincere thanks for waiting, and hopefully these ...

Author's Note: August (2024)

Hey Everybody,

So, first off, I'd like to apologize. The last two months have been extremely rough for me. I've been extremely stressed, and work has been frustrating. Every time I tried to write, I was never able to get anywhere, regardless of the story I swapped between, which just increased the frustration...

A Heroic Night Guard

Author's Note: A Fate/'Five Nights at Freddy's' crossover. Just a fun little idea I had. It started as an image in my head - Shirou dodging all of the animatronics attacks while trying to talk them into letting him help them - and it just grew from there.

Shirou will still be able to Trace here, but being in a world with no ma...

Earth's Defense: Dead Apostles

Even now, after all this time of working on it, I'm still not sure what to think... I doubt I'll be able to leave it alone till the beginning of the month, and will probably continue to tweak it, but this is what I've got. Please let me know what you guys think! And let me know if you think something is bad or needs to be changed. ...

Hey Everybody!

I apologize for dropping the ball last month. It was a bit of a disaster on my end. But I got through it thankfully.

I've been able to post three chapters that I'm actually pretty happy with:

My Demonic Academia Chapter 2: Second Attempts

Izuku’s POV

One week from his first kidnapping

 

“Oi! Deku!”

 

Izuku tripped at the shove and subsequent laughter of Bakugou’s minions. Out of the corner of his eye he could see a couple people look at him with sympathy, but nobody wanted to get Bakugou’s attention.

Cinderella: The Duke's Intervention

Author’s Note: This is just a little one-shot idea that really wanted to be written. I think I've mentioned before that my muse is really the one in charge, not me, right?

Anyways, this is based off of the 1950 animated film 'Cinderella'. Near the end of the movie, this is after the ball, right when the clock strikes midnig...

"Unlike everybody else, first place will be worth ten million points."

Ten million points? Like, one million, but ten times?!

Hey Everybody! To those that celebrate it, I hope you had an enjoyable Easter Sunday. To those that didn't, I still hope you had a pleasant day.

My Miraculous Academia: The Pinnacle of Human Achievement

Quick Author's Note: I am so sorry, this isn't quite complete yet. It's pretty far along, but there's still a significant portion of the ending I still need to write, followed by editing. I figured I'd post what I have right now for you guys, and if I can, I'll update it next week.
