Pyrrhic Aftermath Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

***

Zuko sat down in the stone, earthbended stands beside a family with far too many children. He was relieved to find them so well behaved, their boundless energy and excitement kept down to the point that they merely vibrated in place instead of screaming their lungs off.

Hopefully that remained the case.

The stands filled quickly. Under the dim lights Zuko could make out most of the two beams at opposite ends of the semi ...

Chapter 7:

The Katrawizard Tournament

-

Hogwarts turned into an outright police state by lunch.

The entirety of the Aurors of Britain in their red robes, and a large contingent of blue-robed Aurors from the ICW, invaded every section of the castle like as if it were military occupation. They stood guard like the trolls back in second year, while somehow looking angrier, and marched in three pairs, each watching the others to ensure no ...

February Updates

Civic Duty tier patrons have voted, and they decided on a Much Deadlier Tournament and Insubordination, which are essentially the same story. With this I may get more than two chapters out, especially since Insubordination chapters mostly require me to heavily edit chapters from the old version of Much Deadlier Tournament.

If I have time a short C.A.N.E chapter could prove easy enough too.

But yes, sorry to say I am taking a break from magic knows no boundaries until next month,...

Quick Update

You have all been very patient.

Since the new year started I have been focusing my effort on writing my first real novel and writing commissions. Which means I'm cutting back on writing ff.

I make 100 dollars per chapter for commissions, and the patreon payout is 100-125 per month, so I'm only doing 2 chapters for fanfics per month from now on. Edit: Once the patreon hits 250+ I'll bump up to 3 chapters per months, 350+ 4 chapters, so on and so forth. I already did one this month,...

Harry and Sue followed Dumbledore back up to the castle where alarms were blaring and not a living soul was to be seen. Plenty of unliving ones, though, as every corner of every hallway was stood a ghost or suit of armor at the ready.

The Bloody Baron approached them.

“Report.” Dumbledore said.

“All students, save for those present, have been successfully escorted back to their ...

Fable of the Lightning Struck Hero Chapter 5:

Chapter 5:

Title Pending

-

Lily, Victoria and Teddy wandered aimlessly through the streets of Hong Kong. They were ostensibly looking for a place to stay, a motel perhaps, for their time in this city. A place to at least shower and rest before confronting the task at hand after their long journey through the wilderness and sewers.

The city was truly bustling, like no place Lily had seen before. There were more people in her line of sig...

Assassins, Beware

Harry banished every last piece of rubble from atop his girlfriend directly at the assailant with a single wave of his wand.

None hit him, for he conjured some kind of wind dome around himself like a barrier to cushion him from the blows. They did, however drive him backwards towards the hole he had blasted into the owlery wall.

This offensive also achieved his secondary, or perhaps primary, goal of...

Monday afternoon saw Harry enjoying lunch at the Gryffindor table with Sue in his lap. Nobody seemed to be mind the raven in their mist, nor how chummy they were being.

“You know I can feed myself, right? Been doing it for years.” Harry complained.

Sue answered his complaint by forking another chip dipped in buffalo sauce into his mouth. And he let her.

“Approaching target.” The pilot’s voice called over the hum of the helicopter blades.

Gabrielle stood up and grasped one of the handles in the ceiling near the helicopter door. Jun and Eric did the same, in the positions behind her.

Aayla Secura finished her slice into the exhaust shaft from her hiding place in the maintenance shaft adjacent to it.

It had been days since the battle on that Mandalorean space station, and the hunger was getting to her. Condensation from cooling units for this machine and that was the only thing that kept her burns and cuts from infecting and her from dying of dehydration. But she needed food. ...

Harry arrived at the carriage house near the front gate to find Sue waiting for him there.

He imagined most people on first dated dressed up for the occasion so he made the difficult decision to spend a minuscule amount of money from his trust buying new jeans, sneakers and a dress shirt, which was mostly covered by his winter robes. Casual, but not drowning in clothes. He didn’t think ...

After a brief period of silence from everybody in a square mile radius, McGonagall attempted to rush him to Madam Pomfrey for a check up. Even his head of house seemed hesitant to speak to or especially touch him, as if he might kill her too.

She didn't press the matter when he refused her with a glare.

Cold, ugly rage emanated from him like a miasma of deadly ga...

Poliakoff, Jacob and Remus joined Harry on his long hike to Hogsmeade that Saturday morning. Several students of the hiking club tried to join them, thinking it was a club activity, but Harry shooed them away, reminding them that tonight was a full moon.

Poll Results: 11/3/2023

Results are in.

I will be focusing exclusively on Magic Knows No boundaries for the next two months. Until it is done.

Then it looks like A Much Deadlier Tournament and Insubordination FFAP,  but I'll run another poll to make sure at the time. When that is done it looks Like recusant successors, but again, will have to run another poll.

Next chapter will be up on Sunday, 11/5/2023
