Mist of Shadows

Hermione and the Watch Part 25

Harry ignored the looming shadow as he moved his knight to take Ginny’s bishop. “Take that.”

“Mister Potter,” McGonagall said sternly.

“Yes?” Harry asked absently, keeping his attention on the game. He knew it was being a bit petty but if she couldn’t spare a couple minutes to listen when he actually needed help, he didn’t see a point in giving her his attention when she wanted something that he didn’t care about and he seriously doubted she was going to say an...

Hermione and the Watch Part 24

Macnair scowled as Corban Yaxley walked into the rundown muggle house he’d been summoned to. “Why the bloody hell are we meeting here?”

“It stinks to high hell, like wet socks,” Selwyn complained as he looked around the living room in distaste at the faded orange walls and lime green furniture.

Yaxley snorted. “How should I know? Crabbe called the meeting.”

“Bullshit, Thorfinn called the meeting,” Crabbe snapped from where he was standing by the kitchen, mo...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 3

Dawn frowned slightly as the gate closed behind them. She knew she should be impressed with the twenty foot tall wooden walls but she’d seen larger or at least she could remember looking down at a city filled with lights that stretched as far as she could see. She shook her head as the memory turned into smoke as she tried to focus on it. ‘Great, more stuff from dreams.’ 

She ignored the strange looks her group were getting as she took in the sights such as t...

Hermione and the Watch Part 23

Hermione released Harry and Lily’s hands as they appeared in the Shrieking shack. “Follow me, we have the majority of them upstairs.”

“New books!” Lily cheered, getting a laugh from Hermione as they charged up the stairs.

Harry was going to follow them but found himself pulled in the opposite direction to the living room where a fire still roared in the fireplace and Beth and Selena’s heads were resting on the mantle. 

Rose pulled Harry down onto the couch i...

Hermione and the Watch Part 22

Remus blinked as he was hit with a wave of dizziness and a cake appeared in front of him. “Did you just hit me with a stunner?” He frowned as he read the message the frosted dog left in the white frosting. “Cured? Is this your idea of a joke Sirius?” he asked with annoyance.

Tonks blinked a couple times, feeling a little out of it herself. “How the hell?”

Sirius shook his head. “Your fuzzy little problem is the one thing I don’t joke about.”

Gatekeeper Myst Part 4

The mechanic blinked as Myst’s group sort of flickered and five extra people appeared while two of the ewoks vanished. She glanced at the three additional stormtroopers then looked at the two rather confused mechanics. “What happened to the ewoks?”

Myst glanced at the three remaining ewoks. “One of them got shot in the face, the other played chicken with a speeder, he lost. On the upside, we managed to rescue two more mechanics and three more stormtroopers.”

“Yay, more...

Gatekeeper Myst Part 3

Myst wasn’t all that impressed with the fourth level, mostly because he was ‘fighting’ hordes of civilian droids in a huge annoyingly cluttered warehouse. Okay, so he was mostly running and shooting them from a distance while the slow ass protocol droids tried to close the distance but he was fairly sure it still counted as fighting as they were trying to kill him. He scowled as he finished tying the piece of wire he’d cut off the roll to the shelf. 

“Fuck it, good enough...

Gatekeeper Myst Part 2

Myst dove behind the starship and tried to avoid screaming as he banged his bad knee on the ground in his frantic attempt to avoid getting shot by the last two stormtroopers that had chased him down the hallway trying to kill him. ‘I’m bringing grenades next time.’ He was really happy that he hadn’t tried to use lightsaber to start with because he’d probably already be dead. He was just glad that the rest of the enemies he’d been hunting down had been unarmed droi...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 2

An: Advanced copy... :)

Dawn twitched as she felt something tapping on her nose while they watched the ferry sink beneath the water. She reached up and itched her nose then blinked as she woke up to Egwene tapping her nose with her finger. “I’m awake.”

“Good, the lady Moiraine wants to talk to you,” Egwene said excitedly.

“Now?” Dawn asked as she twisted her legs around and sat up, happy that she’d managed to snag some sleep before she’d ended up slipp...

Gatekeeper Myst

Myst grinned slightly as he saw a hot redhead talking to an attractive blonde girl with slightly pointed ears. ‘Maybe going to a bar wasn’t such a bad idea.’

“Look I know you’re a master at your craft but there is no way that you can stuff a gatekeeper’s entire lore base in a human’s head without their brains leaking out of their ears,” the blonde girl disagreed.

“Bullshit, I’ll prove it,” the redhead stated.

The blonde girl pouted. “Yeah...

Hermione and the Watch Part 21

Harry twitched slightly as he appeared in the kitchen in Number Twelve in a flash of flames with Hermione. “I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to the flames.”

“You’ll get used to it eventually,” Hermione replied as she glanced around the kitchen table at Beth, Selena, Sirius, Remus and Tonks. “At least we don’t have to track Tonks down.”

“What happens if the acromantula heart gives her eight legs?” Harry teased as he set the cooler on the table.

“That�...

Hermione and the Watch Part 20

Lily looked up from her notes as she caught a flash of fire out of the corner of her eye. She stared at the white and blue phoenix holding a letter that was sitting on her table. “Is that for me?” she asked numbly, shocked almost into speechlessness.

Hedwig dropped the letter and pushed it toward her with her foot then nodded.

“I’m going to take that for a yes,” Lily said as she carefully reached over with a trembling hand and grabbed the letter, half expecting it to be ...

Hermione and the Watch Part 19

Snape scowled as he watched the other Severus’s legs and left arm wither and then turn to dust as Harry completed the durability ritual, the runic circle flaring with gold flames that turned black. “You’re enjoying this way too much Potter.”

“Probably,” Harry admitted as he pulled out a knife and jabbed it into Snape’s remaining arm only for the blade to skitter off his skin. “It’s certainly an improvement.”

“How long until the other Severus is immune to your...

Hermione and the Watch Part 18

Hermione spent a couple seconds trying to wrap her mind around the fact that Snape wanted to leave then pulled her wand and hit Harry with an enervate. “Wake up.”

Harry yawned as he sat up and noticed McGonagall and Snape were both frozen in place. “What’s the damage?”

“It could have been worse, two detentions a week for the foreseeable future and Snape quit.”

“He quit?” Harry asked in surprise, ignoring the detentions he probably deserved for attacking a t...

Hermione and the Watch Part 17

Ron worked on drying his hair with a towel as he walked out of the bathroom and into the common area. “Now that I’m actually awake, why were you already awake and showered?”

Harry looked up from reading one of the ritual books he’d borrowed from their growing collection of ‘liberated’ books. He grinned slightly as he pictured the look on Ron’s face if he told him the truth, that he’d just spent a decent amount of time shagging the girls in the shower. ‘Pity I can’t r...

Dawn and Reincarnation

 Disclaimer: Don't own any of the Buffy characters or Wheel of Time characters... this is something I was playing with for fun. Merry early Christmas have a free story fragment. Normal chapter will be some point after Christmas.

“Save the world, I can do that,” Dawn al’Thor trailed off as she woke up from her quickly fading dream of another life with strange sounds coming from outside and a nasty oiling feeling in the air that was hauntingly familiar and yet comple...

Xander and the Remote Part 8

Genie absently scratched behind Willow’s cat ears as she watched the last bit of the Goonies movie. “If we’re going to Dresden’s world, we should probably do something about the aura of dark magic growing up on the Hellmouth left on you and Willow.”

“Any suggestions?” Xander asked as he pushed the pause button, stopping the movie at the scene with the pirate ship just about to sail out to sea. He turned to look at Willow who was sitting in a rather comfortable recliner pla...

Xander and the Remote Part 7

Giles twitched as Xander and two other women appeared out of thin air in the library. “Why does your friend looks like Jeannie from...” he trailed off as he realized he couldn’t talk.

Genie twitched as she felt the evil miasma lurking under the ground and in the air react to her brief use of magic by creeping in her direction. ‘Yeah, that’s not good.’ She made a mental note to warn Xander against using any magic on the hellmouth without wearing his ring or something that did the sa...

Xander and the Remote Part 6

Genie snorted as she watched the whining boy get turned into a fat blob on the screen when he looked into a twisted mirror in a room he wasn’t supposed to be in. “Okay, I get that this is supposed to be a horror movie but I’m just not feeling it.”

“What do you mean?” Xander asked as he pulled his attention away from the TV.

“I might not be an expert when it comes to movies but a good storyteller should make you care about the characters, this falls flat. I ...

Xander and the Remote Part 5

Ted Grant looked up as two people stepped out of thin air while he was talking with Diana. “Is there a reason you’re dropping in after hours?”

“Interdimensional time zones are a bitch,” Xander replied as he glanced around the man’s gym.

“Why are you here?” Diana asked curious if she was going to have to fight.

Genie turned to look at Diana. “We recently acquired supernatural strength and would rather not hurt anyone on accident.”

“How mu...

Xander and the Remote Part 4

Poison Ivy frowned as the man that she’d just poisoned with a kiss wasn’t stopping and his hands were going to places that she hadn’t expected.

“It’s my birthday?” Harley asked as she climbed in the window and saw Poison Ivy molesting some poor helpless young man.

Ivy pulled back. “A little help?”

“I wouldn’t mind a threesome,” Xander replied, recognizing Harley’s voice.

“Something is wrong with my pheromones, knock him out,” Poiso...

Xander and the Remote Part 3

Genie smiled as Buffy walked out of the bathroom wearing only a towel while drying her hair with a second one. “Ready for your upgrade?”

“Yes, though I have to say I think I enjoyed the costs more than I expected,” Buffy admitted, smiling at her two friends on the couch who had opted for magical cleaning rather than a shower.

“That’s the best type of deal,” Genie agreed as she teleported a small chunk of the alien meteorite to her hand.

“Does this change anything be...

Xander and the Remote Part 2

“So, you know that alert you had me set up for Jack getting back?” Genie asked with amusement.

“Yeah?” Xander asked as he worked on making his sandwich.

“You have like ten minutes before he gets here. Do you want me to put your casts back on?”

“Not particularly but I probably should. Actually hold that thought, how well can you fake medical records and tests?”

Genie looked down her nose at Xander. “I’m a genie, I can figure it out.”

“In that case...

Taylor Hebert Dungeon Girl Part 40

Gothic frowned slightly as Vista walked out of the storeroom wearing a set of lightning and fire elemental leather armor they’d dyed green, Vista’s old helmet because they didn’t have the right parts to duplicate the communication gear and a dyed green ninja mask they’d made out of part of a shadow cloak. “She certainly looks badass but I think we’re missing something.”

“Weapons?” Vista asked as she walked over to where the girls were standing.

“Nah, you have your glo...

Taylor Hebert Dungeon Girl Part 39

Vista twitched slightly as she looked up from pushing the freezer closer to the wall and saw a collection of capes standing near the glowing red portal set in the door frame. ‘So much for it making a noise when people come out.’ She glanced at Glory Girl then at the masked girl with purple hair. ‘Probably Neverland and Glory Girl, though her breasts are larger.’ She glanced at the redhead with a dark crimson cut off shirt and black shorts with a black half mask then looked at the blonde ...

Taylor Hebert Dungeon Girl Part 38

Amy sighed as Gothic vanished around the corner with the Undersiders on their way to hunt the giant rabbits. “Hopefully Gothic can keep them out of trouble.”

Noelle pulled her attention off the wooden sign pointing toward the lightning valley and focused on Amy. “They did fine in Winslow.”

“Besides, Rachel has her dogs,” Taylor reminded Amy as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the magical necklace that had been burning a hole in her pocket since Vict...

Hermione and the Watch Part 16

Disclaimer: If things get too creepy in the middle, skip to the card game...  

Harry looked up from his book he was pretending to read as he heard Hermione step off the stairs. He smiled as he saw Hermione walk toward him without a stitch of clothing on other than the towel wrapped around her freshly washed hair. “I don’t say it enough but you’re gorgeous.”

Hermione smiled at her best friend/lover. “Thanks. Any luck with the animation spells?”

Harry’s smile t...

Taylor Hebert Dungeon Girl Part 37

Victoria glanced at Dean, Dennis and Taylor as they walked over to her locker. “Where’s Amy?”

Dennis said, “The office called, there was a six car pile up halfway through the period.”

“And they didn’t call me to fly her there?” Victoria pouted.

“I’m fairly sure she told the office about her hoverboard which is still unfair,” Dennis grumbled, slightly jealous that Vista had gotten one before he did.

Dean grinned as he thought about flying...

Taylor Hebert Dungeon Girl Part 36

Danny glanced over at Taylor as she walked into the kitchen. “Pancakes?”

“Sounds good,” Taylor agreed as she walked over to the table and sat down.

Danny loaded a plate with a small stack of pancakes. “Is this going to be recurring theme with lost villains? If you’re not careful you’ll end up like a crazy cat lady that just can’t say no to one more more cat with a sob story.”

Taylor shook her head. “Nah, eventually we’ll run out of redeemable ...
