The Extraordinary Life of King Mychel Bolton I, the Conqueror, the Wondermaker, the Father of Dragons by Archmaester Yandrew of the Citadel, 513 MC What can be written of King Mychel of a Hundred Titles that a thousand other learned men have not already said? It is well known by this time that...

I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me ****** Wakefulness did not come quickly to Robin. It was slow, rough, and entirely disorienting, like crawling through mud. That she was waking up at all was certainly a surprise. In her...

AN: This was originally posted in my snippet thread and the AdMis thread. Hopefully, prior setting knowledge will not be required, and the story may contain Supergirl and/or Administrative Mishap spoilers because of it. Prior knowledge will at least help, though. Queen Administrator was...

My eyes snapped open, and I was filled with a killer migraine and a bone-deep ache from top to bottom. Whatever the hell just happened to me probably resulted in the deepest trip I've ever had. Straining my eyes, I looked down at the culprit, a nondescript metallic vial, resting beside my neck...

Chapter 1: The Precipice In a perfect world, you would be three hundred miles across the country, back with your family, helping the clergy of your Church to become more accustomed to the demons and ex-demon in your home. But this is far from a perfect world. This is a world where the Gods...

AN: The first 4 chapters and 2 interludes of this were originally posted in Alivaril's Ordinary Snippet Corner. The story as a whole is a spin-off of Sanctioned (Splintered Reboot; QAylor Crack Quest) , but I think only the first two chapters of that are needed for background. Queen...

Something is soft beneath me. It is damp and tickling and smells of soil and grass and rain. The air is cool and the wind is fierce, though I feel protected from the harshest blasts. I'm surrounded by sounds. The skittering of tiny legs as a centipede crawls a few paces away from my prone...

Hope has defined your existence. Humanity has been pushed to one, final, desperate position. Though the Gods are as real as you or I, the theocracy has failed in every conceivable way. Only one holy capital city remains. It is surrounded by an unnatural bastion. Eight churches. Eight cities...

They'd wrapped a shock blanket around her, like she'd seen on TV. It was a bit surreal to be sitting on the curb in real life, ducked against the cold night air and trying to draw shapes in the dust with her shoes. This was crazy- watching as PRT officers close off the street, listening to...

I woke up in an unfamiliar place-no wait, this is just the bridge close to my house. Or what remains of it. I push back the tears that threaten to come out and never stop, and lay down again near the rubble. I can't stop them, and I cry until I feel like my face has become a lake. A *ping*...

Prologue The empire was falling apart, a thousand enemies from within and without chipping away at it, and you were damned to watch it all, unable to do a single thing. It had been two seasons since the day when you had been relieved from duty, one of which was spent on the road and the other...

Chapter 1 Prudence Before, Courage During, Kindness After, Strength and Stoicism Always. You wrap your goat wool cloak a little tighter around your body, chilly despite the furs and cloth insulating the interior of the carriage. The wool, originating in the heartlands of the federal states...

Author's Note: This was previously posted in the Sanctioned, Calibration, & INW Ideas Thread and Alivaril's Perfectly Ordinary Snippet Corner. It seemed unfair to continue cluttering those threads with spoiler-laden content even if I don’t think Divination will become, say, the size of...

AN: For those who have a strong preference, there is a separate poll for which viewpoint (first-person, second-person, third-person, or the narrative vs. vote contrast seen in this OP) will be used for the quest. I’ll retroactively edit the OP to match the winner after a few days. EDIT: Annnd...

This is the revised archive of Catalyst Quest, a dark fantasy epic following the adventures of a compassionate, self-sacrificing priest warped by divine power: Father Richard Anscham, leader of the Church of Mercy. In this original, apocalyptic setting, the Gods are real, and within every man...

I hate violence. No, that's not entirely correct I guess. Hating violence completely would mean I'm a pacifist right? That didn't seem right, it wasn't like I wouldn't or couldn't fight. No, it was more like I just preferred to not get into fights when possible. I guess that means it was that I...

In the Fifth Era, the Era of the Twelve Sovereigns, there existed a small country known as the Blue Sea Kingdom. It held sway on the very fringe of Mortal Realm where the boundary between worlds grew thin and the taint of the Primordial Chaos would oft seep through to bring some new suffering...

Hello there, I'm Wandering_HEART. Call me OP or Wander, if you need a name. This is going to be a Jumpchain fic, the first one I'll actually be putting out there. Mostly I've lurked around the community. It's a fascinating concept from my point of view, so after countless private builds and...

Note: I am taking deliberate liberties with Bloodborne— most especially Rom. If you want this to be completely and totally accurate, you're looking in the wrong place. ____________________________________________________________ < Conditions met > < Connecting... > < Connection failed...

Chapter 1: Predestination Katarina is dying. She stares at her mangled and ruined body as she lies on the ground, blood soaking through her dress. The dirt feels calming on her back. She supposes that's fitting, considering she will be one with it soon. Her chest is cut open. Parts of her...

A/N: I said I would create a separate thread if this got to five posts, so here we are. Warning to new readers: Despite the name, this has nothing to do with 'A Certain Magical/Scientific Idex/Railgun'. This is a crossover of Skyrim and Shaping Up, a fic that is itself inspired by a fic based...

A Pokemon SI fic, in which the protagonist is, himself, a pokemon. Because I've been seeing some really entertaining Pokemon SI fics recently and I can't get enough of them. Vague idea of where I'm going narratively. OCs shamelessly inspired by various existing characters which I don't own...
