I woke up this morning and realized that May's already almost over, whoops! On the bright side, since I didn't post any goals this month, I haven't failed to hit them!
To finish out the last week and change of May I'll be posting a few chapters I wrote previously, and regular posting (both original and voted fics) will continue as normal next month

She wished they could meet in the same restaurant she’d taken that peasant woman to, but the nature of their liaisons required a certain level of discretion.
“She was very amenable after you sent her to me.” Verdant spun her thin stemmed glass with one finger. Glass had been much on her thoughts lately. She pondered the value acquiring a few more artisans and convincing them to change their classes to somethin...

“It really is nice to see you again, Miss Weaver,” John’s mother said.
“I’d say call me Taylor,” I replied, “but that would be more confusing.”
“Not sure what your mother was thinking, with a name like that, but you’ve clearly made the most of it.”
I smiled. “Thank you for saying so.” Talking about the evolution of names and how ‘tailors’ had become much less relevant on Earth really wasn’...

Dum nodded. “Like a real Camp tess.”
At the side of the palanquin, Electra stifled a laugh even as she continued to page through draft documents.
I could only grumble helplessly.
Even with my armor, I couldn’t control my limp anymore. The muscles in my thigh were overtaxed nearly to the point of uselessness....

I'm posting this update to let my patrons know that while I've finished most of the chapters for this month, I'll be very busy this upcoming week and may lack the ability to post. If that's the case, we'll do double (or triple, maybe) updates in the last week and a half of April to make up for it :D
Also Non Serviam won the poll for next month, so I'm excited to start working on that as well! Thanks again for all of th...

After I announced my intention to steal the dwarven treasure, the room broke into laughs, then taunts. Archer had an inventive line about my height and the average size of dwarven doors. When Silver Huntress chimed in, it all turned into a fight, because apparently only Indrani was allowed to make fun of me.
From there it all went to shit, as a gathering of five Named that hated each other’s guts was wont. I think they even forgot a...

“Thanks for the trip.”
Hunter swung down from his horse, flicking the reins at Archer.
She snatched them out of the air. “Say hi to mom and dad for me!”
Hunter grunted, his eyes flicking to me. “Feel free to come by,” he said. “They make good bread.”
“I’ll see if I can’t get some alone time.”
In reply, he flipped up the hood of his bearskin and slipped silently into the house.

First off, I’m pleased to announce that I smashed my goals for last month. This month’s goals once again include increasing the number of posted chapters. I’m aiming for 6+ chapters all together, and I feel very good about my ability to hit that goal not only this month but also going forward, which is the real goal!
My other goal for this month is to start taking commissions again, I have one commission to finish before that happens, and it’s been a ...

As the escape pod tumbled away from the ship, Anakin reflected that his Master had been correct. You couldn’t rely on the Force for everything.
“Hey—hey!” He grunted when the back of the girl’s knuckles grazed his cheek. “Calm down!”
For instance, it usually warned him of danger, but was he really in danger right now? The escape pod wasn’t going to breach, he could tell, and there was an entire fleet t...

“My cousin was wrong about you.”
I smiled at the prince. “What about?”
After leaving the port, Cosche hadn’t led us to a palace or even to the marble dome I’d seen overlooking Corvandr. Instead, the carriage went to a well-appointed manor towards the south side of the city. Through the windows, I’d seen other guards and men-at-arms, sporting different sigils, as if the city was divided quietly against itse...

The holo showed a small freighter listing in high orbit above a yet unnamed planet in the Altor 14 system. Our charts were…abysmal this far out in the rim. Part of me missed standing on the bridge of my last ship and being able to see the arc of space through the viewport.
The rest of me grew more suspicious with each second that passed.

“I have been advised to be more…forthcoming about my plans,” I said.
There was no better place for a secret meeting than beneath the churning and creaking gears of the lightning mill. A row of generators hummed from the power of the driveshaft, and the air was lit with a single dull bulb.
Really, the aesthetics were to die for.

I didn’t have an audience hall, per se. Instead, Ishanti and I were meeting in what I’d started thinking about as the communal dining hall right across from the Lightning Mill. It did have a nice big chair for me to sit in, though I could tell that neither of the guards were much impressed by the rough timber and lack of gilding.

The planet was every bit as dry and dusty as I’d expected, the clothes of the locals so drab that even our ‘low-class’ garments looked out of place. We were outsiders, and everyone knew it.
That was to be expected as well.

In short, Caeo didn’t know what to think.
He hadn’t really known what to think when he threw his lot with the Scarab in the first place, so maybe not much had changed there. Maybe things were always this crazy. He sure hoped not, but he used to wish his life was more interesting, and Ma said sometimes people got what they wished for.
He never knew what she meant by that, while she was still alive.

“Why are we doing this?”
Amy’s question came at the perfect time. We’d just crested the last hill before the capital city of humanity. The gentle dell was a familiar one, but the land on the other side had seen some changes. The road had a line of people trying to get through the gates, and while the line was short enough, it was interesting that the King felt the need to investigate every person entering the city.

Sometimes the best ideas are the ones you had all along.
Dee helped me climb up to the stage. I was working on my armor when I had the time, but for the moment, the overtaxed servos still creaked when I pushed them too far. Today, I simple walked to stand behind my plinth, waiting for the rest of the council to take their seats behind me.
For once, the decision had been unanimous.
