Gacha God: Your own worst enemy (ch. 38)

No. No. No, no, nonononono. No. No fucking way. This shit is precisely why I had time travel so shit like this didn't need to happen. So it wouldn't happen. I just had to wind back the clock and snip this shit right in the bud.

"You piece of filth," I snarled at Kilgrave, kicking him in the face before I threw him right back into his own personal hell. Right from the start. I never really considered myself a malicious person, but his screams were fucking music to my ears as I ran a hand...

Gacha God: Just Deserts (ch. 37)

I am so annoyed with myself. I am so goddamn annoyed with myself. If I could punch myself in the mouth, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I almost wished for a Future Me to show up and put me down like an animal because I clearly deserved it. I had slipped up. I got over confident. I looked down on his mind control because it paled in comparison to the shit I had seen and as thoroughly unremarkable as it was, I didn't have the tricks up my sleeve that I used to.

In the end, I didn't ha...

Gacha God: The Inherent Dangers of Mind Control (ch. 36)

It had been a while since I've committed a murder, but even if my skills had gotten a little rusty, I had the basic principles of a good murder down pat. A lot like being a real estate agent, it really came down to two things -- location, and opportunity. Setting up both took a bit of work when it came to my siblings for a rather wide variety of reasons that included but weren't limited to: magic, teleportation, or having to break a reliquary that housed their immortal soul at the same moment...

Gacha God: Picking Fights (ch. 35)

Zarathos was one of those guys that you just didn't fuck with. It was like sticking your dick into an anthill -- sure, you might fuck up the anthill, but your dick would get covered in bites. It was a bad idea all around and even when you won, you still lost. The list of people that I genuinely would never fuck with was a rather short one, but Zarathos was a hundred percent on that list.

The Ancient One only smiled at my refusal, but made no move to take the Eye of Agamotto back. "Disap...

The Good Life: Tipping Them Over (ch. 20)

I could feel it. I could feel it deep in my bones that we were on the cusp of greatness. Slowly, I had been building and building to push things to a boiling point. Much like a pot left on a stove, the water was heating up and the lid that was clamping down was about to pop off from the pressure building underneath. I had all the pieces I could want in play -- I had my criminals, I had my supes, I had my connections on the inside and abroad, I had dirt on all the major players, and I had some...

The Good Life: Lining Up The Dominos (ch. 19)

A song in the heart. I never really thought too much on the phrase, but in light of recent events, I couldn't help but understand it now, because I found myself humming a tune as I left Vought Headquarters. I couldn't quite explain it, but the colors were brighter, the smells were more pleasant, and there was a bounce in my step while a little tune in my heart was leaping to escape. It was one of those golden moments where all the stars aligned and everything was just… fantastic.

I al...

The Good Life: Well Deserved Rewards (ch. 18)

Maybe, just maybe… this was a terrible idea. The thought did occur to me as I practically skipped my way to Vought Headquarters. This could be a trap. Cinder was clever and she was ruthless. She had enough pieces to put together who Heartless was beneath the mask. If she hadn't… well. Then she wasn't as clever as she liked to think and I was deceiving her by virtue of the fact she didn't think she could ever be deceived by me.

If she was as clever as I thought and she believed herse...

The Good Life: Old Habits (ch. 17)

The affairs of the living world are for the humans living in it, and despite having a body of flesh and blood, Yoruichi still very much considered herself a spirit.

"This is a terrible idea," Yoruichi informed Law as wind buffeted her face, making her whiskers flap around while the boat they were on crashed through the waves in a spray of water. Law was all smiles as he continued straight for their destination -- Riker’s Island. Home to one of the country’s most depraved prisons acc...

Legends Never Die: Plans of the Future (ch. 56)

Learning how to read was a frustrating endeavor, and not only because Greek was very different from both Latin and Norse. It was frustrating because I was surrounded on all sides by scrolls and texts that I either couldn't read or I had to pretend that I couldn't since I wanted the fact that I could both speak and read Latin a secret. And in the few weeks that I had been inside the University, I got a taste of what the books offered.

In my hands was a scroll detailing a first hand repor...

Legends Never Die: University of Constantinople (ch. 55)

The halls of the university were impressive, yet not overwhelming like the palace had been. The floor and walls were made out of marble, there was the occasional piece of finery on display, but it was less blatant. Each one was marked with Greek lettering, which I couldn't read. Michalis had only taught me the spoken language of the Greeks, not their letters. As my gaze lingered on a statue that stood in the center of a hallway, Alexios seemed to understand my curiosity. "Artwork donated from...

Legends Never Die: A Student (ch. 54)

"You're nobility," I remarked, sitting across from Michalis, who seemed properly chagrined at the words. Next to him sat Hyginus, who leveled an even gaze at me. The negotiations for the goods were concluded and the silver had changed hands. The negotiations had gone on long into the afternoon, and even though I had profited greatly from the exchange, I couldn't help but feel exhausted with the talks. Weathering insults in Latin, while haggling prices because Chares was unprepared to pay so m...

Legends Never Die: Major Players (ch. 53)

It was hardly the first time that I was the center of attention. In the past two years, it was a more common experience than not. I had learned to deal with the attention and the expectations. I became aware of my own influence and the weight of my words. Astrid had pointed it out to me, mincing no words in the process -- in Norway, I had been a giant. I crushed Jarls and made kings. In Francia, I was one of the most important men in the Saxon army, and without me there was no hope of victory...

Never Fade Away: Day of the Dead (ch. 41)

"Someone just tried to kill you," River blurted out as they watched the vehicle vanish down the road. That caught Kaiden flat footed, making him snap his attention to him. The car that did the drive-by was the one that had been following them since the investigation began. Kaiden just assumed that the car was there to shadow them for River's sake in case Kaiden proved to be hostile. A reasonable enough measure. Except for the fact that Kaiden caught the tail as soon as he started following th...

Never Fade Away: Fly Me To The Moon (ch. 40)

"Know what listeners? I'm getting mighty tired of folks talking shit about L.

Oh, you worked for Arasaka and now you're out of a job cuz of him? Cry me a goddamn river!

All the Megacorps are their own flavor of parasite, but Arasaka was the king of the leeches. Using and ruining and murdering people for over a century before they picked the wrong victim - L.

L took them down, and he did it for a reason. For him and his. But the world as a whole...
