Ash Ascendant: Chapter 28

Hi all, 

Here’s the second chapter for the week. This one gave me a massive headache.

Chapter 28

Ash eyed Paul warily. He still wasn’t convinced the man wouldn’t attack him if he got the chance.

"What is the top prize?" Ash asked. "The Keystone?"

"Who knows?” Paul replied. “But it must be something good if the Tower Association and Team Magma are both after it. They must know something we don’t."

"Team Magm...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 32

Hi all, 

Here’s the first chapter for the week.

Chapter 32

The Griever approached Harry, its wings tucked into its sides. It was much larger than the others and had a thick, dark mane, leading him to believe it was the Alpha.

Harry's hand instinctively moved toward his weapon, muscles tensing as the beast drew near. The text above its head showed that it was level sixty-five. Not something he wanted to fight. 

The Gri...

Pokemon: Resurgence Chapter 86

Hi all, 

Here’s the final chapter from last week. This week's schedule will be posted shortly. 

Chapter 86

The grand opening had been a remarkable success. Lucas sat in his office, going over the sales figures as evening fell. Every Eevee and most of the eggs had sold out—a fantastic result that left his inventory nearly depleted. Fortunately, another batch of eggs would be produced over the next few days.

He'd anticipate...

HP: The Artisan's Path: Chapter 102

Hi all, 

Here’s the third chapter for last week. The Resurgence chapter will be out tomorrow.

Chapter 102

Harry walked through the grand entrance of MACUSA headquarters alongside his grandfather. The lobby's ceiling stretched impossibly high, adorned with murals depicting America's magical history. Wizards and witches in formal robes hurried past them, busy with their own matters.

"Ready for this?" Charlus asked.

Harry shr...

The Wind Mage's Legacy: Chapter 24

Hi all, 

Here’s the second chapter for the week.

Chapter 24

Harry bolted upright in bed, his heart hammering against his ribs. The nightmare clung to him like a second skin—his body transforming, black wind replacing flesh and bone until he resembled Typhoon more than himself. Worse still had been the complete lack of control as he'd slaughtered everyone he loved, one by one, their terrified faces turning blank as life fled their ey...

Ash Ascendant: Chapter 27

Hi all,

Here’s the first chapter for the week. 

Chapter 27

Ash's eyes snapped open, alerted by a noise. He relaxed when he realised where it was coming from. The metal groaned around him, shifting and settling as if the massive vessel were still somehow alive despite being grounded for centuries.

He sat up silently, careful not to disturb Erika and Zinnia. He decided to let them rest some more, since they had a big day ahead of ...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 31

Hi all,

Here’s the final chapter for last week. This week’s schedule will be posted tomorrow. 

Chapter 31

Harry and Celeste emerged from the gate into the Shadowlands. He looked around to get his bearings. 

They stood on the edge of a barren wasteland. Dead trees jutted from cracked earth like skeletal fingers, their branches twisted and bare against a sky stained the colour of faded bruises. Perpetual dusk shrouded every...

Pokemon: Resurgence Chapter 85

Hi all,

Here’s the third chapter. The final chapter will be out tomorrow. Please forgive the formatting, as I'm having an issue with Patreon.

Chapter 85

Lucas sprawled on the sofa, staring at the ceiling as his mind replayed the day's chaos. The television droned in the background, some mindless game show providing white noise. Sabrina sat across from him, legs tucked beneath her as she read a book.

A Cynical Voice: Chapter 5

Hi all, 

Here’s the second chapter for the week. 

Chapter 5

Harry stared at Hadrian, waiting for his older self to start talking. He wanted some answers. 

Hadrian turned slowly. "I'm assuming you're referring to the duel."

"You know bloody well what I'm referring to," Harry said. "You took over my body without permission. One minute I was fighting, and the next I was a passenger in my own body."

"Would you ...

The Wind Mage's Legacy: Chapter 23

Hi all,

Here’s the first chapter of the week. Struggled with this chapter, but it’s finally out.  

Chapter 23

Harry stared at the transforming vessel. Typhoon's essence poured into the human shell, stretching and warping it beyond recognition. The young man's skin split further along his spine, dark wind howling from within.

"What's happening?" Harry shouted to Kaze over the roaring gale. "Why is he manifesting directly i...

Ash Ascedant: Chapter 26

Hi all,

Here’s the third chapter for the week. 

Chapter 26

Blood dripped from Ash's knuckles as he stood over his fallen opponent. The creature's final twitches gradually subsided, its eyeless face frozen in what might have been surprise. The arena fell silent, thousands of clicking mouths suddenly still.

Ash backed away cautiously, keeping his eyes on the surrounding creatures. None moved to stop him as handlers dragged the cor...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 30

Hi all,

Here’s the second chapter for the week. Author’s notes at the end.

Chapter 30

The courtroom buzzed with whispers while they waited for the trial to begin. Harry studied Remus Lupin out of the corner of his eye. Despite his shabby appearance, he carried himself with quiet dignity.

"You said you were friends with my parents," Harry said.

Remus nodded. "James, Sirius, Peter and I were inseparable at Hogwarts."

Harry hefted a wardrobe across the dormitory. He manoeuvred it carefully between the rows of freshly assembled beds. With a grunt, he positioned it against the wall and stepped back to assess his work.

Harry and Celeste crashed onto his four-poster bed, limbs tangled in the curtains. His lungs burned with each ragged breath as he struggled to untangle himself from the heavy velvet.

"That—" Harry gasped, finally freeing his arm, "—was too close."

Hi all, 

Here’s the final chapter for the week. Lucas and Sabrina have to deal with the aftermath, and he finally moves his breeding operation.

Chapter 83

The camera flashes blinded Lucas, who shielded his eyes with his forearm. A wall of microphones thrust toward his face as reporters shouted questions over one another. Chaos had descended within minutes of Rayquaza placing the massive temple structure on his newly purchased land. View Post

Harry watched the remaining spectators file into the Top Box. Hadrian stood behind him, occasionally pointing out faces in the crowd. 

"Here comes the Malfoys," Hadrian said.

Sure enough, the blond family emerged into the Top Box, Luc...

Harry spread the newspapers across the kitchen table, his jaw clenching with every headline. 

The Daily Prophet led the charge: "TEMPEST: HERO OR VILLAIN?" splashed above a split image of him saving the plane and the devastation at Glenfinn. The Quibbler, usually sympathetic, questioned whether "dark forces" had corrupted hi...
