The diner wasn’t busy, but you still felt a weird buzz in the room as you ordered your burger. The lady at the counter barely gave you a second look after handing you the burger, seeming more occupied with buttering up the other patrons sitting at a booth nearby. You couldn’t tell if she was...

Raven "Really Summer, here?" "What of it?" Raven Branwen felt a tinge of irritation as the red-haired and silver-eyed woman shot her a confident smirk, the opulent front entrance of the Glass Unicorn stretching out far in front of them. Raven rolled her eyes considering for a moment -just a...

If you're reading this, than I'm sure you've imagined being here where I am once or twice. Okay, let's be real, it was probably a lot more than just once or twice. I'm not ashamed to admit that I myself quite often fantasied about just such a situation. It actually happening though? I expected...

Taylor had been dreading returning to school after the holidays. The bitches three had backed off and mostly left her alone the last week before school let out for Christmas. On the surface this was great, but in reality it meant they were planning something, some escalation. She trod through...

In this enormous, incredible world, there existed a countless number of oddities and fantastic sights that those who contented themselves with their small little corners would never be able to believe were they not able to look directly upon them. Men triple the size of elephants who were strong...

A/N: Taylor's powers are heavily inspired by the game Potion Craft, with quite a bit of what she can do being taken directly from that game. In the wake of a tragedy, a mote of power and memories floated through the void. The man it had come from had been an alchemist of much renown, even...

Maybe I could keep on living like I always have, but curiousity drives me; the pervasive need to know has grown beyond comprehension, consuming me like a bottomless chasm.

So this is a companion piece to Die Rettungsaktion, and was one of the best-written parts of the Shattered Sphere 2020 game IMHO. Most of it was posted for that game but there's a bunch of threads in that subforum, plus the thread itself included minor bits to reflect upon in-game mechanics and...

New Moon, Old Blood Chapter 1 - Asphodel Kanae Kocho was going to die. She could feel it in every breath she took. Normally, a person was not too aware of their own breathing. It was automatic; just something their body did naturally without them even having to think about it. But for a demon...

The Faerie of Paradise may not possess memories of Spring. The journey must be nothing but suffering, for only hardship may forge a blade that bears the wishes of humanity. It is the struggle of the sorrowful for a better, brighter future that gives birth to the blade that shall save the planet...

"Good morning, Rose." "Good morning, Mom." Rose yawned as she spoke, sluggishly moving over to her chair and slumping down in it. She yawned again, rubbing at her eyes and blinking slowly as she stared down at the empty spot on the table. I watched with amusement as she then forced herself...

So I figured I'd try to get something done and start posting more Concertverse stories. As a foreword, while I have done some new scenes and editing, most of the content in this short story is from almost three years ago, written in August-September 2020 by myself and Fulton for the game that...

Issue #1 - - - What is a hero? It's a question we all have different answers to. Someone who follows the law? Someone who wins no matter what? Someone with a strong sense of justice? Maybe. To me, a hero always does their best to help someone in need – no matter the personal cost. So that's...

Some of this material was already posted in the story thread for "Emergence". Since that story's done I figured I'd compile things in a new thread with the appropriate sourcebook presentation. Because I am a nerd. This includes some new (if briefer) fluff accounts of events in this timeline...

March of Burgeoning Life "The Ministry of Railways wishes to thank all passengers for their patronage. This train is bound for Bareahard via Celdic." The gentle chime of the train announcement sounded in the ears of its occupants, nudging one particular passenger awake. "The next stop is...

Hi, I may or may not be familiar, I just want to say I've been struggling for a while to write stuff I'm proud of. I can't make any promises regarding length, but the massive Marvel Universe is something I'm really fond of and I've tried to do a lot of Writings about it. Lots of writing in...

"-and that's why we should restart the ferry operation," Danny finished. "Impressive, very nice. Now let's see the funding plan." Kurt took the cue, pressed something on his laptop, and the slide on the projector changed. The board looked at the screen for a moment, dead silent. They looked...
