Settling 1.01 It had been all of seventeen hours since I had landed in Earth Bet, and already I was at the PRT headquarters. 'Adam why?' You may ask, head hung low with my lack of moral flexibility, uncomprehending as to why I would decide not to use my Mc Awesome powers I got I that CYOA I...

Settling 1.01 It had been all of seventeen hours since I had landed in Earth Bet, and already I was at the PRT headquarters. 'Adam why?' You may ask, head hung low with my lack of moral flexibility, uncomprehending as to why I would decide not to use my Mc Awesome powers I got I that CYOA I did...

For three hundred years your people have toiled under the yoke of colonial oppression and corruption but with your colonizers defeat in the great war and the successful revolution of your people, you have been given a seat in the table of victors. While your position was indeed only symbolic and...

AN: Crossposted from SB (Alphard) September 1, 1981. Saturday Morning Steve Harrington woke up to a gentle warmth suffusing his body, a sensation that was both comforting and bewildering. Sunlight streamed through the curtains of his room, casting a golden hue over the familiar surroundings...

John's sour mood had been steadily getting worse for a month, and it looked like it wasn't about to get better any time soon. Each morning, he woke up to a nagging cow of a wife, dragging him out of his blessed four hours of sleep. The kids would already be up, screaming and charging around the...

Chapter 1 The walk to class that day was just like any other. Four blocks to the bus stop, ride seven stops, cross the public park, then two more blocks straight, turn left at the coffee shop and keep going for another three. I was familiar enough with the path to walk it in my sleep, which was...

So, uh, you know how I said I wasn't gonna write any more CF fics? I wasn't lying but I was wrong. Whoops? I didn't quite expect this to be a Peggy Sue when I had the idea originally, but hey, it works, and I get to experiment with writing someone with a metaknowledge roadmap, kinda, in a way...

Okay, so... First thing's first: Welcome, one and all, to this (probably-a-bad-)idea that spawned from the depths of my mind a few years ago, and has since refused to leave said depths. (help me) This is something of an experiment (kind-of sort-of not-really); there will be no dice-rolling in...

Welcome to Art of the Veil! (I'm new to posting here, I hope I'm not making a mess with chapters and threadmarks) IMPORTANT: If you like figuring out the setting as you read, you should skip this chapter. You absolutely don't need to read this to follow the story! The magic system will be...

Call me Kathy. This is my journal. I'm going through a lot right now, so it's hard to get my thoughts in order. I'll just type them up and you can try to get them in order for yourself. So, first thing. My journal is online for a couple reasons. One, I can read and write entries from any old...

If you see one guy acting weird, you should worry. But if everyone around you acts weird, this is when you should really be afraid. There’s a new drug in town. Or a mental disease. Or some weird government experiment is taking place. Or it’s something in the water. No one can be sure. Whatever...

Chapter 1 - New Friends Makoto thinks the diner is strangely quiet as she takes her seat, far more so than she'd been expecting. She wouldn't say that Bikkuri Boy is a particularly busy establishment, at least not from what she's personally observed, but it still seems a little odd for it to...

The Purpose of a Switchblade It is at about half three, usually, that I start contemplating my life. There is something about that hour that did it. It is as quiet as Kabuchiko ever gets, and I start getting restless. I don't need to sleep, not any more, but even so, I think this was when I...

This world is much like our own except for these simple facts Anomalies exist and everyone knows it, reflections of ever burning astronauts in school windows, a large collection of spiked metal rings spinning around a ball of light and forcefully making stuff orderly, a mathematical equation...

This fic will delve into mature themes on every chapter. These themes will be treated responsibly and carefully. If you are sensitive to: Mentions, but not depictions, of suicide. A company grooming a child to be a sex worker once a legal age. A Sex-Averse Ace Person having sex for...

You are a person in the world, living a life like anyone's life. You eat. You sleep. You stare at screens. You have friends, and family, or maybe you don't. You go to work, or school, or whatever. But at night, as you sleep, you will rise towards glory. You are a scholar of hidden lore, a...

Lacmere University – A Tale of Chivalry, Monstergirls, and Tuition Prelude The forest that surrounds Lacmere's campus is wilder than it has any right to be. There are the expected evergreen Douglas firs with their penetrating odor, and some tall maples stand out from the conic trees, as well...

This fic doesn't explicitly mark sections with Sex, Violence, or Suicide This is only because Almost every single update will contain one of the three. It delves into suicidal ideation, kink, mental illness, and extreme emotional violence to one's self, and others. That said, these are the...

Chapter 1 — Fait Accompli Ripples spread along its surface in waves, leaving tiny round holes in their wake that spewed forth streams of malodorous pink gas. From the subtle wiggling of its prodigious folds, one could tell that this particular mass of multicolored flesh was neither of an...

You were once a Mage. Not just any mage, but one of the most powerful that the multiverse had ever seen. The memories come to you, barest trails of sand that bend and splinter into the breeze, old dreams that only became true thoughts as you continued to age. Your end came to your previous...

Chapter One: “So what are your plans for the night?” Asks one of the two men, boys really, in a small college dorm room. He glances at his roommate and studies the unfortunately stereotypical-looking nerd. The boy’s roommate is a somewhat larger student who is dressed in clothes that are...

What was life without the ability to dream? A damn no good sham that's for sure. Growing up you always wanted the best for you whether it was in video games, shoes and companions. So, when it you became aware for your passion for anything involving music you concluded it's now your destiny to...

Once, long ago before recorded history, an entity of great power was sealed in Earth by the gods. The stories of this sealing which come down to us are fragmented and disputed. What is not, by those with requisite knowledge, is that this entity is very real, and its bindings are not unbreakable...

This is a tale as old as the Isle itself. A tale of greed — the mundane and the occult. It is the year 1920 and the wounds Finland suffered have barely begun to scar and the prohibition is making both individual moonshiners and boozerunning gangs rich. While policy fails to keep the people's...
