Author status update: 13/4/2025

People must be wondering, Emma where are the chapters?! Didn’t you say you wanted to release a lot of chapters this month???!!!

If I could go back to the beginning of the month, I’d give my past self a serious beating for being so optimistic hahaha.....

Anyway, things have been a bit… complicated. Nothing unfixable, fortunately, but my schedule has been pretty tight.

That doesn’t mean I have nothing— the next chapter of Supersoldier is almost finished. It’s a ...

63: Pay the Price.

The Agent Coulson adjusted his dark glasses as he felt the wind from the quinjet’s rotors hitting his face. Walking toward the cleared area where the aircraft had just landed, he nodded to the agents who had secured the perimeter before standing firmly and waiting.

Something he didn’t have to do for long. Following the sound of the rear ramp finishing its descent, the figure of Nick Fury emerged, walking slowly out of the quinjet. The cane he had been using ...

John (SuperSoldier) New Cover, Sketch 2

Well, the previous sketch I uploaded still had plenty of things that could be improved, so I decided to do just that. Of course, it's still not perfect, but at least now I think the shield is in the correct position, as well as the face. I believe I had made it a bit longer than it should be before, so I corrected it. Maybe the only thing that still doesn’t fully convince me is the exposed arm—perhaps I should change its position or have it doing something? Give me your honest opinions. 2025-04-01 00:39:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Daniel (Still Defiant) New Cover, Lineart.

Following up on the previous sketch, I refined things a bit more, finally giving it a lineart. I think it's ready to move on to color, although I might change some things regarding the face—I’m not sure, maybe the eye style or the expression. What do you think?

SuperSoldier (SI-OC/MCU) 46: Contract

46: Contract

How much time had passed?

A day? A month? Maybe ten years?

Alright, that last one might have been an exaggeration, but still, if someone were to ask John, he would undoubtedly say it felt like at least ten years.

Though that feeling might be biased, given the strange way time tends to move when at the mercy of the whims of a nearly demented girl’s subconscious mind with total control over her mind.

The "nearly" was a recent addition—honestly, Joh...

John (SuperSoldier) New Cover Sketch!

Hey guys! After posting the previous sketch of the new cover for Still Defiant, I remembered that I had also been working on something for Super Soldier. When I searched for it in my files and reviewed it, I realized it was in a much rougher state than the other one. So, I took a few minutes of my break time at work this morning to refine some details and make it publishable.

I mainly worked on the face since I’m still trying to find the best look for John. I think it's coming out bet...

Daniel (Still Defiant) New Cover Sketch!

Good evening/morning, guys! I hope you're having a great start to the week. This time, I'm bringing you a sketch I made a few days ago for what I plan to be the next cover of Still Defiant. There are still details to refine, and I'm considering changing some aspects of Daniel's previous super-suit design. As you can see, the logo on the chest is no longer just a "D." It's not the most original thing in the world either, but I thought maybe a small extra...

62: Adaptation

‘Where am I?’ she wondered, feeling her head swim, her mind clouded slowly beginning to regain clarity.

"His molecules are now completely unstable, his body is entering a state of phase and dephase, somehow releasing incredible amounts of energy that completely engulf him."

The voice reached her ears like something distant—it was familiar, but not too much.

"Can we fix it?! Can we make him go back to normal?" A second voice joined the first—one t...

61: Doing the Impossible

If Daniel had ever wondered what it would feel like to swim in a pool full of honey, now he had his answer.

Moving was difficult, slow, and clumsy. Countless waves of unknown energy struck his body at every moment, making his internal organs churn and nausea wash over him. Every molecule inside him trembled unstably, provoking a growing sensation of weakness.

'Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea,' he thought as he felt the dizziness and almost fell ...

"If this information is real, do you truly believe it is wise to continue maintaining our neutrality in this conflict, my King?"  

The Great Hall of the Royal Council fell into a tense silence after Zuwena Amahle, Leader of the River Tribe, spoke.  

Almost tentatively, the gazes of all the tribal leaders turned toward the imposing and magnificent dark throne at the center of the room.  

Seated upon it in a relaxed posture, T�...

60: Must I accept this fate?

Handshakes, greetings, and friendly introductions were followed by enthusiastic smiles and almost irresistible offers.

Only fifteen minutes had passed since his presentation ended, and Daniel had already made many new acquaintances.

Of course, fifteen minutes weren’t enough to meet all the people who wanted to talk to him. If this were an open space, he would no doubt have been engulfed in a suffocating crowd. Fortunately, Dr. Storm and his pan...

44: Repercussions 2

"John!" Followed by Peggy’s call, a pair of arms wrapped around John. He didn’t resist—being hugged by a beautiful woman, no matter who it was, was always welcome in his book. Besides, smelling the pleasant fragrance of her hair and feeling the softness of her breasts against his body made his stress melt away in a much-needed way. Now he understood better the person who would invent stress balls forty years in the future.

But the hug couldn't last too lo...

“Damn useless trash!” Johann Shmidt growled, slamming his desk with such force that the wood splintered and shattered into pieces, scattering across the dimly lit room.

His ragged breathing was the only sound in the air until, little by little, he regained his composure and let himself fall into his chair.

“Two important Hydra bases lost, along with several dozen of Zola’s monsters… This plan has been an absolute failure,” he said in frus...

59: Element V

Two days can go by very quickly, Daniel thought as he admired the view of New York City, more precisely the Manhattan area.

In his previous life, he wasn’t really very familiar with this part of the city since he rarely found himself nearby. Of course, that changed in this life, not only because he occasionally patrolled all of New York as Defiant but also because of the time he spent living in Harleen’s apartment.

That time, although not too long, was enou...

If Daniel had to say something about Harleen's power, it would be... that it's strange.

"My hair is blue!" Harleen exclaimed, and at her command, all her previously platinum blonde hair turned into a bright blue from the roots.

"Is that the shade you had in mind?" Daniel asked curiously, making her look at him and take a strand of her hair between her fingers.

"Yes, it's just as I imagined it," she nodded, then frowned in confusion.

It had...

42: Sorcery.

"Tch, it seems the information about you was wrong; you're stronger than I expected," the demon growled, as he stood up and rose back into the sky. The shadows covered his face for a moment before retreating, revealing that the fist mark on his cheek had disappeared along with the other wounds the sudden attack had inflicted on him.

“But a mortal will always be a mortal! Surrender now, and maybe I can grant you some mer—” 2025-02-09 07:35:09 +0000 UTC View Post

“Well, this is unexpected.” Daniel moved his gaze away from the microscope and scratched his chin, feeling the incipient stubble between his fingers.

He was currently in his workshop. After saying goodbye to Carol, he had decided to do some simple work on his fabric printers and, in passing, take a quick look at the blood sample Tony had given him.

Just a quick check before taking it to the fortress, where he could use Kryptonian technology for a proper i...

A yellow beam shot out, opening a hole through a small mountain of rubble, then a tiny figure followed, crawling out with disorientation.

“Cough! Cough!” Janet coughed, struggling to clear the dust from her lungs. With her hands on her knees, she carefully looked around—her training room had almost completely collapsed, and if she hadn’t reacted as quickly as she did, she knew she would have ended up buried alive… if she was lucky.

“What the hell...

John (without beard) and Daniel (Casual) Sketch v2

hey guys how are you? I'm still working on the fics, I should have the next chapter of supersoldier soon (more or less tomorrow or the day after) at the same time while I was on my break at work I thought I could touch up a bit the sketch I posted before, I didn't change too much, I just touched up the faces a bit since the ones I made before didn't quite convince me, I can't say that I'm completely satisfied now but I think it's a little better, I don't know what you say?

56: Acceptance.

Getting to Central City from New York was simple and fast. As he looked at the city that had not existed in his previous life, Daniel began to focus on his hearing, determined to search for any possible crime. Maybe he could even find Flash in advance if he was lucky.

‘Mmm, I don’t hear any lightning, but I do hear some minor crimes. Let’s take care of that first.’

With a blurred movement, Daniel descended upon the city and began navigating between it...

Carol sketch 3 (slight changes in design)

Another sketch, this time playing around a bit with Carol's design. Chronologically, it's been almost a year since Daniel met her. During this time, I thought her hair should have grown, so I made it a bit longer and also changed her hairstyle a little. I still need to refine a few things before making a more complete illustration.

Now, talking about her helmet, I had quite a few issues since sometimes I made it too "complex" and other times too simple, but I finally came up with someth...

"Can you believe it?! I leave them alone for a moment, and they completely disappear!" Howard grumbled with some irritation. Saying the man had been eager to see what John could now do with his new abilities would be an understatement.

For that reason, when he returned to the lab and couldn't find them anywhere no matter how much he searched, an immense disappointment hit him.

"Perhaps I can help you look for them, Mr. Stark." At the offer, Howard sighed, shook his ...

“It seems like a nice place,” Lena commented, looking at the cozy café they had arrived at after setting off. Of course, as a newcomer to Smallville, she didn’t have many points of reference, so in the end, it was Carol who chose the place halfway along the route.

“It’s not bad,” Carol replied, and the two of them sat at one of the more secluded tables, near a window with a view of the streets in the town's central plaza.

Then, silence. Lena took a d...

John (without beard) and Daniel (Casual) Sketch

Sorry for not bringing new chapters these past days. I've been quite busy with work, and on top of that, I've had some pretty annoying sleepless nights. Anyway, to avoid not posting anything at all, I've decided to share one of the drawings I've managed to do during the little free time I've had this month.

It's been a while since I last shared a sketch, and I'm a bit rusty, but I hope to get back into the swing of things little by little. This time, I brought something featuring John a...

A few moments earlier.

"This burns!" Cassandra groaned internally as she struggled with great effort to stop the enormous fireball threatening to engulf her, her hands trying to stay steady in front of her, her body flying almost uncontrollably through the air until her back slammed into another building, almost knocking the air out of her lungs.

Then the damn thing exploded.

It was only her experience and instinct that made her act fast enough to use her...

“This is really good,” Natasha said with genuine surprise after taking a long sip from the cup of coffee Daniel had brought her. Beside her, Agent Coulson nodded in agreement, sipping from his own cup. As international agents, they had traveled to many parts of the world and tasted various types of coffee, but few could match the flavor of the one they were drinking now.

Daniel smiled upon seeing their approval, proud of himself because this was the ultimate ...

“It’s incredible how, despite everything, they keep moving forward, don’t you think?”

At the question, Cassandra, who had been watching the sunset strike the city of Warsaw, emerged from her reverie and looked at her brother, who had approached her side, standing next to her at the edge of the tall building where they were—one of the few high-rise buildings still remaining in the city.

She considered his words and looked down at the people below. De...

NEWS About My Stories! (Before the End of the Year)

Well, the end of the year is approaching, and with it, I’ve started several things that have kept me quite busy and stressed. (A few days ago, my brother told me he spotted a gray hair on the back of my head—right where I can’t see if it’s real or not, haha! I’m not old enough to have gray hairs, damn it!
