Rise of a Draugr 1 (Worm '90s Commission)

[center]<<Kansas City, September 1995>>[/center]

Christine Mathers adjusted her son Elijah on her hip, considering the offer she’d been given by the local branch of the Fallen. It was a very good offer, and it would allow her to gain both power and security while raising her baby boy. After being kicked out of the house when she got pregnant, both power and security were things that she desperately wanted.

The local chapter leader, a handsom...

Bending, Cultivation, & Systems 1 (AtlA, pseudo WC)

I didn’t say a word as I was escorted from my cell block. Not even fourty, and on my way to the chair. Still didn’t see why it was such a big deal, the building had been a dilapidated piece of garbage. If a few drugged up hobos didn’t want to go up in smoke, they should have made better decisions.

Part of me, the part that had always been drawn to fire, felt annoyed that I was going to be executed by electric chair. Death by burning would be better, my soul cleansed by flame befor...

Banging Harley 1 (DCAU Commission)

Harley couldn’t understate how much she owed her ‘roommate’ for rescuing her and nursing her back to health after her ex threw her out a window. A neck brace, blood transfusions, arm and leg in a cast, and that was just what she remembered. But now? It was as if Harley had never been hurt at all. No neck brace, no crutches, no limp.

Her roomie had offered to bring her back to Gotham, having treated her in his mansion, but what did she have to go back to? ...

Incarnates, Leagues, & Marvels 4

[center]<<Roux Chevalier, “Red Riding Hoodlum”>>[/center]

I groaned as I pulled myself out of the small crater I’d made upon my landing. Even without looking around, I could tell that I was in a dimension that I hadn’t been in before. When you travel to multiple dimensions, you start to get a feel for them. It wasn’t my birth world, wasn’t that stupid ass Praetoria, and it definitely wasn’t whatever the nerds called the world connected to Praetoria.<...

Viking Raids & Blue Booty 2

“Are all ships reporting in?” I asked as I reclined on my Command Chair on the bridge of my flagship, Sleipnir. It was time for us to head to the Centauri System, and I had a lot of plans.

“All ships reporting in, Captain,” the main pilot reported after a moment.

Nodding, I gave the order, “Engage the Bifrost Drive.”

The Bifrost Drive, the culmination of five years of research and development on my part. I’d had the theory behind it figured ou...

(Were)wolf Takes Lioness 1 (ASoIaF/GoT Commission)

Queen Cersei did not bother restraining the sneer at the surroundings. Two and a half weeks on the road, to Winterfell, and despite their station, her oaf of a husband had decided that they would camp by the woods off the Kingsroad. They could have easily stopped in a nearby town, or even a holdfast, but the man would insist on the royal family sleeping in tents and eating camp food.

It was the middle of the night, and Cersei Lannister found herself unable to sleep. The fact ...

The Amazing Tentacle Man 1 (Seduction of Silver City CYOA, Commission)

Silver City, the city of the future, a beacon of technological advances, progress, and the human ability to adapt to any and all changes that came at it. The greatest superheroines in the world called it home, and mundane crime was seen as a thing of the past. That didn’t mean that crime didn’t happen, just that any and all crime in the city was done by villainesses.

Why did you specify heroines and villainesses, oh sexy narrator, you ask? Well that’s because to my mixed feelings ...

Incarnates, Leagues, & Marvels 3

[center]<<Siobhan Hanrahan, “Sadistic Light”>>[/center]

Looking around as I pushed my speed, moving faster than the human eye could track out of the park I’d landed in, I pursed my lips in consideration as I examined the surrounding city. At a glance, I could tell that the blast hadn’t sent me back to Praetoria, the architecture didn’t have the iconic white and gold that nearly everything piece of architecture from my birth Earth did. But I didn’t have enough exp...

Age of Dancing Dragons 3

The woman that I met was named Bethany, and she brought me to her home, where we ate and I answered her many questions. After several hours, I was finally given an opportunity to ask a question of my own.

"The First Men mages of the Age of Heroes could shapeshift?" I asked.

Bethany nodded and confirmed my belief, saying "Those mages could change into various beasts of the wild, though I only knew of one who had learned the magic to become a dragon. We don't know what her name was,...

Like A Dragon 5

Thrud stood impassively as Dreki spoke to Captain Fa, a hand resting over her stomach. The fleet had set out from Sabaody a few scant hours before, and with the knowledge that later that evening she would be giving her ‘proper’ virginity to him, she was finding herself nostalgic and thinking back to when he’d found the reformed Shoku Shoku no Mi, the devil fruit that her father had wielded before he was murdered by Grandfather.

She’d recognized it, when it had come up...

Viking Raids & Blue Booty 1 (JC Avatar, Celestial Forge)

I looked at the dark skinned woman, finely dressed in clothes that almost certainly cost more than the average person made in six years, as she approached my throne. And it was a throne, despite what some would say. Being in the middle of the most advanced ship in the Sol System and lacking gaudy and elaborate jewels in it did not change the fact that it was a throne.

“Captain Sigurd Thogersen,” the woman began, barely able to hide the distaste she felt for myself and my crew in her...

All For Cauldron 1 (Worm Commission)

I growled under my breath, glancing out of the window to the safehouse I’d brought the American cape to. More than a dozen of the KGB’s own capes were out in force, searching for both me, and the American. I didn’t care for the ‘cape name’ bullshit that the American subscribed to, but even with that I thought All American was a stupid name.

Satisfied that the KGB wouldn’t be breaking down the door, I stepped away from the window and returned to the pale and sweaty man I was ...

Incarnates, Leagues, & Marvels 2

[center]<<Harry Alexander, “The Final Straw”>>[/center]

The first thing I did when my body had restored itself enough for me to think was to leave the vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial. Wrapping myself in shadows, I used them to carry my broken and battered body away from the rather public location. Flying had taken a lot of getting used to, but it was both faster than walking, and I could do it before my regeneration got my body to a point that ...

The Age of Dancing Dragons? 2

It didn’t take long for me to find an answer to my questions about the frequency of threats common to places where the Veil is thin.

“Abominations and revenants? Yeah, they pop up every now and then, s’why we still got a few o’ the Faith’s templar buggers around,” one of the enchanters grumbled, gesturing off to one of the Faith Militant that were on duty at the Harrenhal Circle, clad in gleaming plate mail with a sword on his belt and a shield on his back.

I resisted ...

A Mother's Catalog 1 (HP "Waifu" Catalog Commission)

Harry furiously panted, doing his best to catch his breath after the latest round of Harry Hunting. It was the beginning of June, and Dudley and his ‘friends’ were of the opinion that they needed to catch up on all the fun of tormenting him before their holidays really got started. This particular morning had been the worst.

Still, he’d managed to outrun them, even if it meant running to a part of the park that he hadn't been in before. The fact that it was a section filled with t...

Incarnates, Leagues, & Marvels 1 (Multicross Commission)

On one of the balconies of Ouroboros, a group of six stared out at the multitude of ships exiting from storming, crackling portals. The six were only one group of many that were defending Ouroboros, the citadel at the end of time, but they were certainly some of the most powerful.

One of the six, an average sized man in ragged clothes with a manhole cover strapped to his arm, shuffled on his feet. That was the only visible motion that any of them made as the ships made their way towards...

Game of Alchemy 12 - Interlude

Sansa swallowed as she stared at the Twins. The place where her mother and older brother had been murdered, where Robb had been betrayed and killed, was now before her.

Her husband had not said why they were here, but she knew enough of politics to know that the Freys were now firmly allied with House Lannister. It was the price paid for killing her family, and her new husband was taking her there, to the place of their deaths.

He hadn’t said why, only asking her to trust him. H...

Grim Darkness? Imma Farm, Okay? 2

A week after I’d found myself in this weird tunnel system, and things were progressing… I wouldn’t say well, but they were certainly going better than I had been afraid of. I wasn't able to start buying up Light Augments willy nilly, since I didn't have much of the “currency” that was used.

Said currency, labeled GH, was displayed on the same screen as everything else, on a bar along the top that I’d missed when I was first looking at the screen. When I’d first no...

The Age of Dancing Dragons? 1 (DA/ASOIAF Commission)

A Short Primer on the History of Westeros: From the Decades Before Aegon’s Landing to the Ten and Hundredth Year After Conquest

Penned by Senior Enchanter Dravor Sparr

A short primer, this book, not quite a history of Westeros itself but of its most important political actors and institutions. Still, a comprehensive one, including chapters on the Andal invasion, the Valyrian Freehold and the Doom, the origin and spread of the Faith of the Seven, the conques...
