November One Shot: Drek & Snek Pt. 3

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then?” Drake said hesitantly, looking the Gorgon over. He’d tended to her rock-like natural armor for the better part of the morning and early afternoon. He was thankful for the repetitive task, if only because it distracted him from the fact that the Gorgon’s chest was swollen with venom again and he had no idea if or how the minute amount of caffeine she’d taken into her system would affect her. In the end, by the time Natori returned shortly after l...

September One Shot: Drake Thane Part 2

“You have got to be fucking kidding me,” Drake Thane cursed, hauling himself to his feet after another harrowing trip into the Gorgon’s cell. She had accepted his gift of rocks, but had not made any sort of connection between the smooth and jagged varieties, instead using both to chip away at and then grind down the excess armor growing from her skin. That was how she spent most of her days when not eating or attempting to fight anyone who entered her enclosure. He had only been aboard ...

August One Shot: The Gorgons

A/N: once again I must apologize for the brevity, but I would prefer for you all to have a taste rather than nothing. I expect to have more time available for writing beginning in November or December.

September 17th 2035, Human Dreadnought HMV Resplendent Dawn, Shuttle Bay

“Mr. Thane! Good of you to join us here in Udanis. How was your journey? Uneventful I hope,” the incredibly tall, dark-skinned man called out across the cavernous metal ro...

June One Shot: Introducing Chayuli! (And Hezati, and Kelti, and Ixani...)

“Well, that explains why it’s soul-crushingly hot outside. Guess my transgressions finally caught up with me. Though if memory serves I’m only supposed to meet you after crossing the Styx. I’m Alek-” the young graduate student was abruptly cut off as the ebony-skinned woman to his left replied with not words or a gesture, but a deep-throated snarl with plenty of dangerous looking teeth to back it up. One of her heads did at least, its bright yellow eyes regarding him wi...

Dakky's May Commission: Zolta and Asha bein' cute.

“What are you still doing here?” Zolta demanded quietly. Asha looked up from her loom.

“I’m weaving, darling,” she explained the obvious, catching Alyra’s eye. The look on the priestess’ face made it clear she was free to go whenever she pleased.

“I thought we talked about this…” The young smith tried, though he knew it was likely a pointless effort.

“Zolta, does it look like I’m stressing our cub by sitting around here all day? Would you...

Introducing Senni! (Concept Art Attached)

This month's one shot is being made available to the public. Be safe, stay inside, and carry on everyone!

*Disclaimer: I gave a lot of objects like cactus or bird English names just to help with flow. Velathi names may come later!

 -----

“Mother, father, I’m going to take a bath!” Senni called, stuffing a woven net into her belt. The teenage Velathi was about to leave her family’s home, a structure of stone, mudbrick, and wood nestled against the side of the rav...

Dakky's March Commission: A Day in the Life of Admiral Kaczynski

Shuttle telemetry nominal, approach green. Pilot Cromwell’s ability, competent. Remote contact established, beginning handshake. Transfer initiated, standby…

'One day I swear I'll just create multiple personalities and just swap between them…feels like dying. Is that what dying feels like? Does anyone know? Maybe I do? Ha, take that organics…yes Io, they're all so jealous that you routinely experience death and rebirth without any sort of divine revelation....

The Siren War: Chapter 49 (NSFW)

"And one day she just appeared! Brooklyn, Cassin and I went out to  meet her but she didn't want to fight. She just said she'd been very  bored."

"That still doesn't explain how she found us or why her shard isn't  corrupted," Thorson muttered, speaking with Yamashiro as they ascended  the stairs to the dormitories together. Shigure was the subject of  conversation.

"She and I have always been close friends, tono-sama," the shrine  maiden...

The HEL Jumper: Chapter 3.7

 
“Alice! My dear, what happened to your arm?” Yvonne demanded as she  would of her own daughter, taking Alice into a compassionate but tender  hug.
“How about answering where she’s been for the last forty eight hours,  hmm?” Gerard suggested, waiting politely for the girls to finish their  greeting. Xan didn’t bother hiding his surprise when Alice turned and  embraced the older human male as well. The feeling of apartness and  otherness on...

Siren War: Chapter 48

Though Commander Thorson was thankful for the efforts of Captain  Stevens’ crew in his absence, he had no compunctions about kicking them  out in order to discuss tactics, strategy, and the future with his  fleet. Almost every ship on the base was in attendance, save Downes and  Tennessee who were on prisoner guard duty, Ark Royal who was giving  Yamashiro a much needed break from babysitting Mutsuki, Kisaragi, and  Mikazuki, and Cassin whom Thorso...

The HEL Jumper: Chapter 3.4

"Well now I feel a tad improper, I must say," Lachlan commented, looking around Alice's barren lodgings. The spunky scientist waved him off, bending over to access her tablet, still stashed away in her pack. The Marine could not help but realize that Alice had quite the perky posterior, evidenced by the fact that he could make out its contours at all in spite of the jumpsuit. He turned away with a blush as Alice began making a couple of notes, either oblivious to or uncaring about the situati...

The HEL Jumper: Chapter 3.3

"So we'll see you for dinner tonight then?" Veera asked Alice, the  two women awaited by Russell and Kaha respectively. Both men had crates  of gear from the now departed shuttle with them, and had set them just  inside the gate while the sisters-in-law partook in their first truly  relaxed conversation since meeting one another. The sounds of late  summer activity in the fields and surrounding forests slowly returned  after the disturbance of Cromwe...

Chronicles of the Siren War: Chapter 46

"I was unsure if I would ever see you again. It's been far too long, Langley."

"It has, hasn't it Warspite? All these young girls running around  looking tall and buxom and far too voluptuous to be warriors…oh listen  to me. I sound even older than I am."

"You look well, even better than I last saw you in fact! The riding  crop really rounds out the outfit. You may be a head and a half shorter  than the Knight Commander, but I daresay you'll comm...

Coronation Day Chapter 10

Seth and Keiko sat patiently through a tense, late lunch, constantly watching and waiting for Sybela or anyone else to provide a glimpse of what was going on out in the capital. Keiko was about to request that Seth contact the rabbit when an alert reached them both.

The boys are going to be real damn surprised when they update theirs. Welcome to the team I guess, Sunburst ;). Anyway, I haven't seen anything all day. Seth, if we're going to move I think we need to move now, make sure we...

Chronicles of the Siren War Chapter 45

After taking breakfast on the bridge with Penny, Zed, and Shiratsuyu,  Thorson headed for the crew quarters to check on the wounded. Several  beds had been moved to other locations on the ship to give the  recovering girls peace from the everyday life going on around them.  There he found Tennessee along with the wounded, the kittens of DESDIV8,  and to his surprise, Kasumi.

"Good morning, Shikikan. Foo said you would be by soon," Kasumi told  ...

HEL Jumper Chapter 3.2

"Alice?" MacGregor got her attention, waiting to see how the  situation would unfold. She seemed to understand his concerns. Asha and  Zolta looked on quietly with curious expressions.

"Russell is here too. I'll be alright. I think it's best we show some  trust, all things considered. I'll call for you when you come up?" She  proposed, trying desperately to tamp down the swarm of butterflies in  her chest and stomach while maintaining a composed out...

HEL Jumper Chapter 3.1

"There are a handful of issues that we should address quickly before  returning you to the planetary surface," Natori declared before anyone  could flee the conference room. Antoth and Veera looked at one another  suspiciously. "Lieutenant, Antoth, I would request that you both allow  this process to unfold before lodging your complaints. I do understand this is a sensitive matter. Io, can you please hail Qul'Roth for me?"

Io wanted to ask his r...
