In the week since that visit to the High Seraphim’s office, Ontos had been busy.
Things moved forward with his proposal. When he’d first laid it out, many of the others at that High Table had been interested, or eager to help. Galan and Azrael had been doubtful and skeptical, respectively. But then Lady Sera had shown them the playback of the events that had transpired in that sewer.
They had still been skeptical. Three random vampires in a sewer were no threat to Heaven. Onto...

"Thank you for telling me."
That was all he could really manage to say, given what he had just been shown.
The nightmare of LA had never happened.
"What year is it?" Ontos managed to ask after a moment.
"What year do you think it is?"
Ontos frowned. "Two thousand and five."
The new face in the room chuckled. He was an angel who looked like he didn't belong amongst the rest in the office. His cargo shorts, crisp Hawaiian shirt and bleached and ...

Ontos awoke from a dreamless sleep.
He opened his eyes to his new reality.
He slid out of bed, bare feet landing on plush carpet. He was ever mindful of the half dozen new appendages he now possessed, as well as the ever present halo. He wanted to feel like he was used to them by now, used to his new skin, his new face, his new everything.
He wanted to say that, but he couldn’t. Things took time, and it would take longer than the last couple of days. Perhaps far l...

“Michael, your thoughts?”
“This could be a problem, Lady Seraphim.”
Long after Sera had dismissed the others, long after Emily had dragged away the newest member of Heaven’s highest circle of angels toward the lower main floors of the Palace, the High Seraphim was still at work. She had returned to her private office to contemplate what Ontos had told her had transpired on...

“One at a time, please,” He tried to ask. Try to, as the three of them spoke over him.

“Emily.”
“Do you have a favorite song? Or maybe a favorite color? Ooh, how about your favorite food?”
“Emily.”
“Have you made any friends yet? Oh no, you just got here. But I can help you-”

The distant cacophony of church bells disturbed his relaxation.
He was at one of the many resorts that dotted the shores of one of Heaven's seas. He was sunbathing in the warmth of the sun, luxuriating in the feeling of it on his skin and myriad wings. He was also being tended to by a pair of beautiful angels, who might've been supermodels in life and still very much were after winning.
Twins, they were.

“Something has happened.”
It had been Michael to interrupt the proceedings in the council chamber. The other four in the chambers had been locked in discussion, a discussion he had interrupted.
It was a welcome interruption. Sera had been disinterested with the quite frankly boring minutiae. While Oscar could be enthusiastic about any given subject or task, his gusto regarding the bureaucracy he managed was, at times, a little too much to handle.
In fact, his nigh-infini...

Ontos came to a stop on the Boulevard sidewalk, having found the place that Lisa had told him about.
Slice of Life. The name was written in a flowing script on a hanging sign. It was presumably a pun, perhaps referring to preparing food or something else entirely. The facade was quaint. Almost Victorian, if the Victorians used exclusively gold and silver in their metalwork. What didn’t gleam gold gleamed a vivid shade of green, save for the door which was painted an immaculate white.<...

The gates closed behind Ontos with a whisper as he gazed upon Paradise for the first time.
His eyes settled on the vast forum-like space, at once equally opulent and modest. He used the word in the Latin sense, as the greco-Roman architecture of the place all but called for it. Around him to either side were groups of two or three or sometimes more, people that seemed to be waiting for someone. Their eyes settled on him, perhaps wondering if he was the one.
He was not. Or at least...

He was dead. That was his first rational thought.
He didn’t know where he was. Limbo, perhaps. It was a place of white, of empty nothing, not even gravity to determine up or down. He couldn’t move, but he thought the reason was because he didn’t have anything to move, nor anywhere to go. No frame of reference, no destination.
Alone, unfeeling, unchanging in a pale infinity. A tangle of thought with no mouth to scream from. A fitting afterlife for someone like him. It was abo...

Taylor sighed. The day could have gone better.
She was sitting in a conference room back at the PRT headquarters for a debriefing. After everything that had happened, all three of her Friends had been completely knackered, as Narwhal had aptly described it. Which was in itself unusual, as the three of them seemed to have unlimited supplies of energy. But then again, the morning had been much more exciting than most. She’d shed the overcoat layer of her costume, wrapping it into an app...

Kaiser had been called many things in his long life. A monster, a villain, a Nazi. He readily accepted and acknowledged most of those descriptors, and more still. But the one thing he would not accept being called was a fool. Because when the PRT practically handed you an easy opportunity to free your subordinates, only a fool would pass on such a thing.
The evening before, the handful of moles that he had placed within the ranks of the PRT had each independently reported to him somethi...

As the lights flickered and died and the building shuddered from some distant explosion, Taylor immediately thought about her dad. Was he safe? Was he okay? Was he hurt?
A second of darkness filled the room before an emergency light in the corner of the chamber flickered on, re-illuminating everything in erie red light.
Her friends were still there, rendered into crimson Endbringer silhouettes on the mats.
From each of them she got different feelings: Wariness, ...

I am ghooose! Simmie chirped in glee as shen darted all around the living room and kitchen, swathed in a bed sheet.
All in all, it had shaped up to be a good day, even if it was a Monday. Taylor had opted to stay home from school, both to spend more time with her Friends and to prepare for the coming evening. While the decorations had been all set up the week prior and their costumes had been finished and fitted that weekend, she still had a fair bit of work to do. But she had ...

“Before we continue further Miss Hebert, I just want to say that it is a pleasure to meet you.”
“Thank you.” Levi nuzzled her chin from her shoulder, reassuring her. But it didn’t help with the fact that Taylor felt like she was in over her head.
They had been brought to a vacant conference room to talk in private. Just Taylor, her father, her three cute friends and one of the greatest capes in the world. Narwhal, the leader of the Guild, was sitting across from her and ...

Silba’s plan was simple. Just send a specter in her stead and watch from afar.
She had arrived half an hour prior to the designated time, Weiss in tow. The trip there was uneventful, thanks to the Sith Cloak she had placed around herself and her partner that hid their presence from prying eyes both near and far. She had expected her partner to refu...

This isn't going to be a story post, not in the slightest. It's not going to be very long at all. I prefer brevity regarding heavy subjects.
I understand that a lot of people enjoyed reading this story. However, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that I am putting this story on indefinite hiatus, due to the reasons that I will list below.
Recently, Games Workshop, the owners of the Warhammer 40k brand and associated IP, have made chan...

“Dad!”
Ruby only had to feign excitement a little bit as she hugged her dad. Taiyang had come looking for her at the workshops as she was leaving, likely guided by Uncle Qrow. Her dad didn’t look worse for wear, despite the wringer that the Taskmaster projection had put him through the night before. But along with the excitement was a little wariness. It had been a very, very ...

Silba and Amber were sitting in the mental reconstruction of Ruby’s dorm room, taking a well-deserved break after hours and hours’ worth of varied and in-depth combat training. In the most recent session, Silba had begun to impart upon her apprentice the beginning aspects of lightsaber combat, namely the first three general forms. The first of them,

This was bad, really, really bad.
Ruby was panting heavily, running as fast as she could back toward Beacon’s central Tower. She would have dashed the whole way there, if not for the risk of overtaxing her Aura. Jaune and Pyrrha needed her help, and she was the closest to where they’d last been heading.
The Grimm knew no end. They swarmed toward Beacon by the thousand, an endless tide of churning black. There were White Fang there too, the Grimm and Faunus somehow inexplicably...

As the movie ended and the credits began to roll, the room that the Cohort had made into a sort of makeshift rec room aboard the Demetrius Vox erupted into cheers and chatter. Ruby for one had to admit, the movie had been good. Really good. It had been a long time since she was so engrossed in what was essentially a popcorn flick, complete with ...

“What troubles your mind, Ankelion?”
It was a fair question from the Captain-General.
Ankelion stood upon a golden rampart overlooking the greater Imperial Palace, the vast, continent-spanning and majestic halls of his Master’s home arrayed below and around him, stretching to the horizon and beyond. After his return to Terra, he had sought out the stretch of gleaming wall to gaze out from, to t...

Deep within her library, the witch sat and waited.
Around her were rows upon rows of bookcases, tomes of knowledge and history from two cycles of man on her world. The true humans that came before the Brothers purged them, and those pale and weak imitations that came after. One whole floor was dedicated to civilizations totally forgotten by Remnant of the current day, the names and deeds and great nations and empires re...

I wrote a thing. It might become things, maybe. My muse is being a bitch, but it gave me this so I can’t complain.
Inspired by TCL’s For Those We Cherish, sadly long dormant but in my opinion one of the best 40K/RWBY crossovers I have ever read. This is just a tribute to their work. Also takes inspiration from the official 40K short story Consequences. Said story’s also referenced below, you should go read it.

Taylor squeezed her backpack to her chest, a life preserver on the sea of trepidation that she now found herself. The bag in her arms squirmed from within, as her friends made their discomfort at her squeezing felt.
“Sorry guys,” she whispered to the bag, loosening her grip.
