Carrot and Stick: A Fieldwork Guide for Magical Escalation - Chapter XV

Fluff - Volume Four - Chapter Forty-Six

Chapter Thirteen ***Lemme know what you think of Libre here? ***It wasn’t long before Gomorrah arrived and with her the entire army.There were some large gates around the city, but most of them were for smaller overland transports, so a larger set of doors further in had to be open to let the army column enter.

Stray Cat Strut - Volume Nine - Chapter Twelve
Chapter Twelve -***I stepped out of the Bastion to Fortunate Son shouting about how the lead singer wasn’t a senator’s son.
