Gacha God: Painting the Town (ch. 11)
"I don't want you going anywhere near that kid, MJ. He's dangerous," Mary Jane's mom stressed to her, sitting her down in their living room. Her mom was covering her bruises up with makeup. She had gotten pretty good at it, Mary Jane reflected. The foundation matched her skin tone, and it covered th...
From the Ashes: Glimmers of Battle (ch. 27)
“That was too much,” Leliana scolded me as we turned away from Teagan, who was speaking to Alistair in a low tone. I’m guessing he was either saying unkind things or plotting to put him on the throne of Ferelden. Frankly, I couldn’t have cared less in either case. “You must be diplomatic, Azoth. Bann Teagan c...
From the Ashes: Glimmers of Hope (ch. 26)
“You didn’t say anything,” Theron remarked in a quiet voice as we set up camp. We rejoined the villagers, but they were giving us -- or, rather, Shale -- a wide berth. As a result, we didn’t really need to take watch. Apparently, Shale didn’t need to sleep, but it was decided that it would be best if at least...
From the Ashes: Glimmers of Change (ch. 25)
“You are a saarebas,” Sten accused me as if I had deceived him. I noticed that he waited until he was armed to do so -- a large two-handed blade that he handled with ease and the utmost contempt. Finding armor for him was going to be difficult, but he didn’t seem to mind. Seemed to prefer it, really. We were read...
From the Ashes: Glimmers of Light (ch. 24)
"Tell Durian I want our people out of Edgehall. The whole alienage," I told the runners. "It's located outside the city and it's right fuckin' dead in the hordes’ path. Get them all out. Kicking and screaming if you have to," I continued, sitting on a stump of a tree. A number had been fel...
Legends Never Die: Blood Debts (ch. 29)
Was this intentional? It was my first thought as the plum of dust drifted upwards, the tunnel completely collapsing as far as I could tell. My mind raced, a thousand different thoughts running through my brain as I gazed at the collapsed tunnel, my jaw was slack with shock and I was frozen with indecision. Perhaps it w...
Legends Never Die: Traps and Plots (ch. 28)
"It looks like disease," I observed from my position on the watchtower, looking out at the Franks that were hurrying their dead to a large grave. Next to me, King Widukind stood, most of his body protected by the stone rampart, but standing next to him was a warrior that had his shield raised. Just in case some...
Legends Never Die: Yule (ch. 27)
Despite the siege, it was decided by King Widukind that we would celebrate Yule to honor the gods, as thanks for the victories we had enjoyed so far. While we couldn't make wreaths, we had everything else we needed to celebrate -- animals to sacrifice, and Yule logs that were carved out of buildings that had been t...
Legends Never Die: Reunions (ch. 26)
The meeting concluded not long after the reveal that we were dealing with an entirely separate Frankish Army. King Widukind acted composed, but there was an edge of franticness in his actions that betrayed how flatfooted he was caught. How off guard all of us were taken. We were sworn to secrecy before he would ‘allo...
Never Fade Away: Never Leaving (ch. 17)
"Where the fuck is the fucking- oh, there it is," I muttered to myself as I stood surrounded by bits and pieces of equipment ranging from wires, nuts and bolts, electronics, and some metal plating. Grabbing the wrench, I started aggressively unhooking a bolt that I had secured way too tightly. Normally, buildin...
Never Fade Away: In The End (ch. 16)
V hadn’t reconnected with me in a month after shooting me a text to deliver the Element Zero implants to a drop point in the Glen. I parted with them with some reluctance, mostly because I still didn’t understand the substance at all and J had given me an inkling of what it was capable of. That lack of contact shou...
Never Fade Away: I Am Your Demon (ch. 15)
“Damn, they really cut you up, huh?” J remarked, perched on a table that she had moved to the corner. She slept with her back to it, usually seated up with her legs curled into her chest. The chair that was there was used as a footrest as she watched me get out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my waist. He...
Never Fade Away: I Saw In You (ch. 14)
“You fucking fucks!” Subject Zero snarled at me as I collapsed into a heap on the ground, purple energy surging around her hands. It felt like a massive weight was crushing down on me until I was completely flat on the ground, unable to even take in a breath of air because my lungs didn’t have the strength to exp...

From the Ashes: Glimmers of Flame (ch. 23)
“Fuck me,” I moaned, really wishing that I could remain asleep, but my brain wouldn’t turn off the moment everything clicked into place for me to wake up. I was on a rough hay bed and the cloth over it was itchy, so was the blanket that covered me. Those were far more distance concerns because I’m pretty sure t...

Legends Never Die: Glorious in the eyes of the Aesir (ch. 25)
The charge was absolutely devastating. There was simply no other word that could hope to convey the effect that the cavalry charge had on the unprepared back of the army. Spears broke as they tore through men like an axe through cloth, shattering into splinters while the horses knocked men over and trampled them under ...

Never Fade Away: I'd Trade It All For Your Sweet Embrace (ch. 13)
I squeezed the trigger, the gun bucking in my hand as the bullet bounced off a sharply angled wall, striking the ground, and still ripped through the kneecap of a man that was taking cover behind a concrete barricade. I heard him cry out, but through a camera, I saw him fall to the ground, clutching his knee before his...
