Pre-AN: CYOA Build here.

It was the sound of a bell, shrill and obnoxiously loud, that forced my eyes wide open. My hand instinctively went for the battered kunai that I kept beneath the pillow on my futon, wrenching it out from beneath the threadbare cushion and, in that same jerking motion, flicking it swiftly to...
2024-08-30 19:49:54 +0000 UTC View PostAfter exploring the rest of the Botanical Garden, henceforth dubbed the ‘Garden of Eden’, and making a shopping list of things to purchase for it, the girls and I discovered several more rooms hidden behind their own murals - five more, to be specific.
Directly to the left of the Garden was ‘The Bathhouse’, and it looked as resplendent and gaudy as you’d imagine it to be. Large, as seemed to be...
2024-08-22 03:40:00 +0000 UTC View PostAfter all that I’d seen over the past month and some change, I didn’t consider myself someone easily impressed. For a mage who’d learned to wield various systems of magic as easily a man drew breath, the grim mundanity of Earth Bet - outside of the murderous supervillains and semi-competent superheroes - was quickly losing whatever luster it originally had, and I actually found myself itching to finally leave it all behind and explore the wider multiverse. Invictus would h...

The first thing that Hannah realized, as Avalon made his way over to their truck, was that the man had changed.
In multiple ways.
“Are those… elf ears?” Velocity, agitated and anxious after witnessing the latter half of a mountain erupting from the earth, hissed at her out the corner of his mouth.
She didn’t trust her voice to be quiet enough to respond without Avalon knowing, so Hannah didn’t say a word, m...

Three Days Later…
Across the sandy beach, amongst the towering, ripped apart husks of foes long fallen, I faced my mortal foe. She stood confidently, the sorceress girded in black and pink, with one hand on hip and the other pointed directly at me. Around us, toiling away at their eternal work, were my spiritual servants, ghostly sprites and imps the same silvery color as the waxing moon. They wouldn’t disturb our battle, b...
2024-08-03 04:29:20 +0000 UTC View PostAmy Dallon woke up to the low, comforting humming of central air conditioning, and the familiar, intermingling scents of sandalwood and blueberry. She could feel her tongue thick and dry in her mouth, saliva having left her alone hours ago at some point in her unconsciousness. Memories fluttered through her mind; memories of fear, of panic, of dizziness and confusion. She could still remember the way that her heart had nearly beat out of her chest, her skin clammy and shivering as she struggl...
2024-07-31 23:14:06 +0000 UTC View PostI ran my hands through the tangled, silvery-white mess of my dreadlocks, tightening my grip on the ends and lightly tugging in an idle, almost subconscious gesture. I wasn’t a nervous man by nature; that much was made abundantly clear by how quickly and unabashedly I flipped Brockton Bay right on its head, but even my autismo-brain and ‘cool dude’ nonchalance wasn’t able to prepare me for the sudden influx of anxiety that iced the blood in my veins as fo...
2024-07-26 12:53:15 +0000 UTC View PostIt only lasted a few minutes, but those were some of the longest few minutes of my entire life.
The cleansing hadn’t hurt as much as it simply burned - a cold, scourging sort of heat that seared me from the inside out, like swallowing a fucking bucket of Icy Hot. Everything, and I mean everything, felt like it had been scrubbed clean with a piping hot wire sponge; my soul, the literal soles of my feet, all the way up to the ti...

“Mom-”
“No, Victoria! I know I’m not a perfect mother but damn it there are laws and boundaries to be respected. Amy isn’t conscious to consent to being taken, and this is her home. You have no right.”
I stared down into the furious, almost animalistic eyes of Carol Dallon, my Amy held firmly against my chest. While I couldn’t necessarily b...
2024-07-05 03:05:44 +0000 UTC View Post“So… let me get this straight!” Cassie squeaked, her hands flapping frantically by her sides as she floated through the sky, miles above the ground. “Your ‘perks’, or- or powers… are actually magical abilities. No ‘Trigger’ theory, no cape crap… Just, like, all magic?”
Lazily floating after my flailing girlfriend, reclined back on thin-air like I was floating atop the surface of a pool, I nodded my head.
“Yup,” I yawned into my han...

Protectorate-ENE HQ
Rebecca Costa-Brown was many, many things.
A warrior. An intellectual. A political figure. A daughter.
A hero, and, in some ways that rankled her in a place otherwise completely invulnerable, a villain.
But, beyond all of that, what she truly considered herself to be at her core… was a protector.
Some would se...

My voice filled the Sanctum, magnified ever so perfectly by Force of Spirit, and I could hear bare feet slapping against polished wood as the very real light of my life immediately made her presence, and jubilation, known.
“JAAAY!”

Coil’s Base
Death’s creepy ass whistle quieting into heavy, oppressive silence, I stared down at Coil’s bloodied and crushed corpse.
It was odd, the way that killing had quickly become something I was completely at ease with - at least when it came to shitty people. Even back then, before I was dropped onto Earth Bet, I had been okay with the thought of killing. Hell, I’d beaten a few dudes damn near c...

40 Minutes Before Midnight
I came to a soft landing on top of a rundown apartment building, the silence of the dilapidated neighborhood around me being all the assurance I needed to know that I wouldn’t be bothered for a few minutes. Lung’s golden corpse, his head reattached and soldered onto the neck with tethers of Chamon, dropped down right beside me - only to sink into thin air, blue, transient sparks of mana lighting up the dark...
2024-05-26 04:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostYo, it came to my attention that the transition between the PHO-lude and Chapter 44 could be a bit confusing, so I added a precursory A/N to the top and added a bit more context sprinkled through the chapter to make things more clear. Things such as Cassie having met Imp ten minutes prior and them having already introduced themselves to each other during that time frame. She came in so suddenly 'cause of how her powers worked, and I wanted that Stranger effect to make an impact with Cassie's ...

This wasn't explicitly mentioned in the chapter, but Amy was taken home by New Wave after the Lung fiasco. They tried to interrogate Cassie, but Sherrel and Trainwreck picked her up at the Docks and basically did the whole 'overprotective guardians' thing as they took her back home. She changed, got her gear, and went back to the factory with them.
That's where they've been working on shit. The 'war machine' got too big for the cargo container, so Sherrel...

Shittier news: it happened during a bad break-up. I won’t put my private business out there, but I had a good reason. Trust me.

Coil’s steel-like grip on his cheap black burner phone threatened to turn the device into plastic scrap, but the self-titled mastermind couldn’t find it in himself to care all that much.

Obnoxious hip-hop music, loud and overpowering, blasted across the sands of the beach.

I couldn’t lie - the current teenage boy inside my soul was smacking his knees and laughing uproariously with contentment, but the former Jason, the jaded and mildly depressed adult, was only slightly amused by the situation.
