The Son of Storms 23

Ares didn’t remember the last time he had come to the Underworld very much. A side effect of the mess of chaotic, poisonous energies that made up the Hell of the Universe. It required a certain skill at manipulation of the eddies of time and space, and one’s own energy to avoid the effects this had on an immortal’s mind. Kicking a...

Edits for TIC 36, 37

After a few things were pointed out to me, changes have been made to The Icefyre Conquest 36 and 37.

Ascension 39

“Fred Weasley, George Weasley…stand up,” Dumbledore’s voice echoed out at breakfast. Somehow, the quiet that had been stifling them all just seemed to deepen even more, not a single sound in the normally raucous, rambling chamber. Fred and George slowly stood up, none of that confidence and laughter from yesterday present on their faces....

Rebirth 6

The sun had barely crested the treeline when Harry found himself walking beside Freyja through the damp grasses of Freyr’s Valley. Morning mist clung to the air like silk, curling around the tall oaks and maples, leaving the whole forest shining with dew as if someone had scattered stars upon it. Birds trilled high above, and the scent of wet ...

The Icefyre Conquest 37

The hall on Pyke stank of pitch, salt, and fresh oil. The plunder—iron-bound chests, barrels of rum, sacks of coin, heaps of chain, bolts of rotting sailcloth—lay stacked in rough aisles like a market set up by crows. Men sat where they could, and those who could not fit in, occupied the rest of the Island as meat and rum flowed freely for t...

Ascension 38 [A small request, do comment]

Dumbledore’s office was a grand room. Not only in its size, but also in the amount of stuff the ancient wizard had stashed and displayed across every inch of the available space and wall. Rare tomes, even rarer devices and artifacts from every place around the world, the old Headmaster had it all.

While he was not one to go drool-mouthed...

Phantom 39

“This is outrageous!” the senior senator shouted the instant the doors closed and the table mics lit red. “Two national-scale alien crises in as many years, and our posture is to hope the capes show up?”

“Yes, Senator—your tweet told us that,” a congresswoman cut in, dry as salt. “Maybe save the performative outrage for the...

Rebirth 5

The people of Vanaheim were much more simplistic in their lifestyles than the Asgardians, and that was saying something, considering the Asgardians lived on the simple equation of eat–fuck–fight–sleep and repeat. And while the Æsir certainly didn’t believe or practice in the overt displays of wealth like humans if his home planet, the g...

SOS 28.

A bit late on this one, but I was stuck with the middle section as I decided on what approach to go regarding the previous developments in 23 and 24.

Comments are welcome.

Also, this is hte hundredth HP based chapter here, so yay?

The Icefyre Conquest 36

Shield Islands.

If there was a piece of land Balon hated more than those blasted Bear Islands, it was the Shield Islands. Not because they were upstarts who had once belonged to the Ironborn–that was true for most of the North and all of those fish fuckers as well.

But at least the Northerners knew to fear them? To know what an Iro...

Rebirth 4

“You had an eventful afternoon, I take it,” Loki’s voice broke him out of his thoughts, and Harry looked over his shoulder at the approaching God of Mischief. Before he could reply, the hissing of a blade being quenched echoed in the silence around them, and his eyes returned to Orik for the moment, the dwarf holding up the smoking, darken...

Rebirth 3

“Welcome, Traveller, to the Bifrost Chamber,” a regal, powerful voice spoke up as soon as he crossed the threshold into the giant, golden dome. Amazed by the sight of the hundreds of thousands of runes engraved into the walls around him, Harry was even more surprised by the sight of a giant, dark-skinned man standing at the central dais.

Ascension 37

“He definitely knows something,” Ron repeated for the dozenth time as they sat in the stands, watching a practice session between Hufflepuff

“He definitely knows something,” Ron repeated for the dozenth time as they sat in the stands, watching a practice session between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teams. Quietly eating his sandwich, N...

Phantom 38

“Greetings, Kalibak, it has been centuries since we last met,” the newcomer smiled genially, looking up at his brother—and wasn’t that still a shocker, Kara thought, fingers still upon the open power cables. Slowly slotting them back and closing the Hyperdrive generator, she carefully removed the power cells, watching Kal and the Flash b...

Rebirth 2

“I thank you, Allfather…” he muttered weakly, staring at the projection of his home planet, or as he had come to know from the god before him, an alternate version of his home planet. According to Odin, the thing that had attacked his Earth had somehow sent him across the Universes. Travelling through Space-Time was an everyday experience ...

The Son of Storms 27

“Kill the half-giant’s pets, or I bury him under these very oaks.”

Even days later, Cernunnos’ words echoed in his ears, along with the sensation of rock-hard vines coiling around him, poised to crush his body in an instant in that dark clearing. Fear was not something Harry was a stranger to, and neither was mortal...

Rebirth 1

Time slows when you are about to die.

He had heard the thought many times. Lived it more than a dozen times too, ever since he had been subjected to the extra tender mercies of his relatives, and then subsequently Lord Voldemort. Once it had become all too real in the Forbidden Forest, when he had decided to surrender to the Dark ...

Rebirth [WoT reboot]

Nothing concrete, but the WoT reboot is here as promised—a lot late, I know.
Below is just a draft of how and where the story will start. Things can change, so don't take this as permanent, this is what it will mostly look like. Full prologue will be up ASAP.

Visenya wasn’t really enthused with the prospect of standing guard at the docks. Oh, she understood the importance of her task, she thought to herself as another arrow entered an Ironborn’s arm, ...

Phantom 37

The moment Harry whispered the curse, Steppenwolf’s chest convulsed violently. Blood—not red, but dark and oil-thick—sprayed from the seam Harry had carved. The alien general howled as space itself seemed to ripple around his body, Snape’s curse hacking through his guts painfully. 

However, it wasn't Steppenwolf alone who was ...

“I am going to talk to Hagrid,” he muttered quietly, but Ron heard him all the same, the ginger pausing mid-bite to look at him as he looked at the Head Table, finding Dumbledore absent from i...

Phantom 36

Kalibak and he were still trading blows, yet Kal knew that he was the worse off between the two of them. It was dark now, the only light being that of the barely visible moon and the still-burning fires around him. Although he had no sunlight to rely on, that didn’t mean he was bereft of power. Kal still had the strength to go on for a while, ...

“Just how are the Ironborn in this bay when they are supposed to be in the Iron Islands?!” The Prince’s screams echoed out of the King’s bedchamber, and Moore silently stared down the ...

Phantom 35

Kalibak had last been seen centuries ago, destroying a small offshore planet and turning it into a wasteland—all because he hadn’t liked the way their women felt. The Green Lantern corps had arrived when one of their own had sent a distress call, unable to stop the Apokoliptian’s sadistic rampage, only to find New Genesis interveni...
