12/6/2178 CE "Move it marines! Double-time and check your corners!" Lieutenant Harriet Shepard shouted to the marines running ahead of her in the cave. A purely performative shout to assure the frightened jarheads that she was still there while acting as rearguard. Shepard took her own advice...

This was written for a different story that someone posted as a series. I never got around to getting it finished to have them read or tag it for the list of things on FF.net that "Things Shipgirls can not do. " and the list of screw-ups that came about for the rules on the list. Things that...

"The tempest has receded, leaving us sheltered. Yet, let us not forget the valiant souls who braved its fury, those who ventured into the abyss, never to return. Nor those who fell on the crimson fields of war, their remains swallowed by chaos, nor those who perished in the cosmic void, lost...

Darkness. Cold yet comforting, and a gentle rocking are the first thing upon her senses. Eyes blinking upon and staring up into a deep blue sky, the owner of such eyes blinks more and looks around, finding oneself floating atop the waves, though without wettening her clothing. Placing a hand...

Author Note: This is going to be my first story in awhile. Updates won't be regular and will happen when I have free time to do so. A gentle pressure washed over me as I awoke. My eyes opened slowly, weighted with the remnants of deep slumber. Yawning, I expelled the water sitting in my...

"The Abyss can only corrupt, never add. It cannot create, it cannot invent, it can barely adapt. Even its dedicated builders, the 'installations', merely toil away, creating iteration after iteration. A thousand times, they can recreate One, Two, and Three, but never once reaching Four... But...

Day 1 Captain's log, don't know which year. And this is how far I can take the Star Trek reference because I only watched like three movies. I am not boldly going anywhere either, at least not anytime soon. How to start? This is my personal log, so I kind of doubt anyone else will ever read...

A dark fog swirled and thunder rumbled in the distance. Waves broke around her shins and the spray whipped about her as if she were moving through the sea instead of being rooted in place. We are coming… The girl flinched as the words echoed around her, chilling her like her surroundings...

Prologue A War in the Stars It has been three centuries since the final spaceship left humanity's first cradle. As the stars were slowly mapped and conquered piece by piece by the fledgling space civilization, in the deep waters below the sea a new threat stirred. In the Pacific and the...

January 1st, 2011 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time The sun was low in the sky, the seas were rough, and the bows of black ships that oozed evil and hatred dipped and rose through the heavy surf as they approached their launching points. Already, Battle Squadrons and Divisions, along with their...

Foreword: Hey Sufficient Velocity! It's been a while since I've posted a Story Thread here, hasn't it been? Especially one involving the thing that got me into Fanfic in the first place, Kantai Collection. So, this idea's been rattling around in my head for a while; ever since the writing of...

“Akagi…?” The kitsune’s head turns towards her young charge, swaddled in a thick blanket, covered in Martian snow and rust so thick it makes her head of white hair vanish completely. “Yes, Kawakaze?” Her own voice creaks from the cold, her steel hull twisting and boiling within its mortal...

====================================================================== Chapter 1: "Can't wake up" There are few things I regret in life more than getting less than fresh sushi on christmas eve. I barely managed to get home and I was laying in bed as the sensation started to slowly ramp up...

A Crown of Biosteel Chapter 1 - Vestibule to the Next Life Thursday, 12 October 2028 PO3 Marcus Bradley took a swig of coffee, then swung himself out of his car. He shut the door and locked the old sedan before turning to the office and walking across the parking lot,to a half-abandoned strip...

USS Just Kentucky. LOG-001. BB-66. Cold. So, so very cold. And dark, too. Yes. Very dark. Hell. She was in hell, maybe. Although somehow, something deep, deep inside told her it couldn't be. She'd escaped hell, after all. Her makers had finally given up on her, after so many starts and...

Title more or less says all, this is a mecha discussion thread for the Mass Effect/KanColle crossover story I made a while back titled Fall of the Citadel. Feel free to ask me any mecha and technical questions here, but please to limit the topics to the ones already covered in the chapters...

Looks back at all my other fics that will likely be delayed even further due to this. Hmmmm. Shrugs and does this stupid shit anyway. C-1. "Buh." I woke up to the sound of seagulls. And a face full of sand. And my voice sounding all kinds of off. But my hazy, sleepy brain didn't quite focus...

Well, I've decided to spin this off into it's own thread. This is meant to be a bit of an index, due to how I'm working on this project being a bit, scattered. I'm dividing what I want to do into six subsections. The first is covering events that at least started before the year 1922, which in...

We the People 1.1 "Somebody once wrote, 'Hell is the impossibility of reason.' That's what this place feels like. Hell." Waking up was an odd experience. Add in the switch from a ship to a woman, and suffice it to say Constitution was not having a good morning. Her eyes felt like they were...

"Oooohhh…" The pink-haired woman yawned, her hands stretched out wide in an effort to energize herself. She stood up from the comfortable swing chair, slowly returning to reality once more. Taking the moment to adjust her lab coat very slightly, she looked over the desk. The papers and folders...

A/N A Shipgirl!Taylor fic, no direct inspiration for this one, or the character. Just a fic that went through many changes over the past few hours, with many different characters and plot points. I do hope you enjoy this. Drifting aimlessly through the empty void she rested, her duties done...
