So, as you all might remember, I am getting some OG stories started this year.
One of them is called the Horned King, which I've been working on since the start of the year, expect to see that in the very near future.
However, Horned King is very much a epic high fantasy. I am considering running a second story of a more funny note. This second story comes down to two ideas I have:
1. Accidental Heroics: Basically, someone is trying to become the next Dark Lor...

"Master, we're back!"
J'Mikel didn't need Xiaan's exclamation, but he did appreciate it. To hear the relief and happiness in her voice after everything as they laid eyes on the Temple.
True to Vader's word, they had been dropped off on Coruscant from a smaller craft. Getting a transport to the temple wasn't too hard after that, a public vehicle piloted by a droid.
The comfort of the temple was...different than it used to be. It was once like an ever-flowing spring of calm ov...

The Fleshen Lord looked upon his court with many keen eyes, blazing with interest.
Many came before him and offered many, many things.
Relics.
Souls.
Concubines.
And so much more.
But it had been some years since one of his higher subjects entered this domain.
She came before his throne, crawling low on many limbs, as others scampered before her terrible presence.
But the Fleshen Lord remained unbothered by the chaotic arrival in his lamellated ...

"Hiruzu is aiding the Island Devil."
Pieck hummed as they hid on the cliff sides overlooking the docks. "I suppose that shouldn't be a surprise. They were the most tolerant of Eldians. If any nation helped them, who else would it be but them?"
Magath nodded as he put down his binoculars. "The Founder is down there. But we don't have many options."
Pieck closed her eyes in thought. "We can only do one of two things. Try to escape or try to kill Eren Yeage...

Jiraiya mulled over what Kakashi had told him, about everything.
"Okay, I understand most of this. You had a lead, Tsuande pointed you at Hanzo because he fit. I honestly had the same thought," Jiraiya admitted.
"So that's why you showed up," Naruto murmured in thought as he walked back towards the palace of the Fire Daimyo.
"But why did you try to engage the leader of the Akatsuki?" Jiraiya asked with a frown, looking over his shoulder at the back of Naruto's head. "Kyuubi ...

"Later, gorgeous!" Tucker said as the ship slowed its descent into Blood Gulch.
"Come on, Tucker, pick up the pace!" Church called as soon as the ramp lowered.
"So, just running headlong into battle?" Tucker asked as they practically jumped from the ramp.
"More like a jog, I'm not that worried!" Church said, looking over his shoulder. "Tex, make sure she doesn't pull shit on us!"
"Don't worry, she won't!" Tex answered in assurance, even as the pelican took flight again...

When Issei returned home, he was pleasantly surprised to find Aza and Asia playing cards with the twins in his room.
"Ladies, sorry to keep you waiting," Issei said with a smile.
"Oh, welcome back, Issei!" Asia greeted with a warm smile.
"Hello, Master," Nctolhu greeted, both twins giving him a look over.
"You had fun, Master," Nctosa remarked, and it wasn't a question.
Aza smirked as Issei grinned at the memory. "I'll have to c...

"I will attempt to answer if I have the information," Delta answered dutifully.
"I do not know what a Freelancer is," Gamma lied, as was expected. "You have the wrong AI."
"False," Delta informed.

Kiyomi Azumabito wasn't sure what to think of the idea of meeting Eren Yeager.
In the most realistic and simplest terms, Paradis's government and order seemed precarious. The Prime Minister was assassinated recently, and now the entire government overthrown by this new group. Given that the last government lasted only five years, it seemed likely that Paradis Island would become a place of much infighting even if the&nbs...

Anakin hummed as he studied the branches of a berry bush. The Albingi Crisis was strange.
More so now that Hego Damask had entered the scene.
He wasn't sure to think of the Muun. Which was unusual, Anakin usually had a good read on people, or at least what they presented at the surface.
But the businessman was hard to read. Very hard. He seemed pleasant enough and took great interest in the crisis. But why alluded Anakin. Was it ...

"Quite a handful he is, eh?" White Zetsu mused.
"Don't be cocky," Black Zetsu warned. "The power of the Nine Tails has always been absurd. If not for the existence of the Sharingan and the First Hokage's wood release, the original would have never been sealed."
"And even then, very few could safely hold it," Tobi acknowledged. "But for now, this biju...

Naruto wasn't sure what he hated most about the explosion he just suffered. The bright flash that disoriented him? The boom that deafened his hearing? The unappealing smell of clay and burnt flesh from the summons?
Well, there was the explosion itself. Which stung like hell, mainly in the eyes and the tongue.
A relatively small drop of blood dropped from his maw.
Actually, yeah, it was the explosion.

The Force worked in mysterious ways sometimes.
That was never more apparent to Xiaan Amersu as she sat in a medical bay, a cloak draped over her body to conceal the reveal slave wear she had been made to wear. She sat beside the bed of her Jedi Master, J'Mikel. Captured by the Black Sun, tortured and enslaved after trying to undermine their slaving operations.
And their savior was none other than Dark Vader himself.
She shivered as she felt his presence. It was everywhere on...

True to Armin's word, he tried to reason with Eren again.
"No."
Eren, to his credit, was being very calm if blunt about refusing to budge on the issue.
"Eren, I have agreed with the Partial Rumbling. Destroying the fleet and the harbors, yes. But the amount you're going to destroy in Northern Marley is-" Armin continued.

Tex had to admit; for a dead woman, Carolina certainly hadn't lost her edge at all. Not even two minutes into the fight, she had managed to shoot the gun out of Tex's hand. Granted, not without giving her the chance to kick Carolina's weapon away. It had dissolved into a fight of punches and kicks, both parrying or dodging hits as best they could. Tex gave Carolina just as good as she got.
"So, what, the Director been hiding your ass as a secret agent or something?" Tex asked, pinning ...

"It is no trouble, Devil Princess," Yidrah assured, sitting on a couch with Koneko seated right in front of her.

"To go and congratulate a friend," Harry answered with a wide smile before he began walking away.

Harry ignored it however as he walked down the table. The staff at their table up front were looking rather curious and probably expecting him to approach them. Inste...

The months passed mostly in peace as the land of Fundony grew, slowly starting to show the trappings of a proper city rather than a large village. Discord was seen infrequently, along with Lily Frost and the Alicorns…which was why Officer Gust had volunteered to deliver a message to Discord directly. Or to be blunt, to venture into the Strangelands himself and find said lord of chaos.
The pegasus wasn't afraid of the illogical, chaotic lands. The nature of the Strangelands was a refle...

Finding a town or village was not time consuming. However minor, the daily interactions of many sapients in one location caused enough of a blip on his chaosdar that finding a settlement shouldn't be hard.
And it wasn't hard, it was rather easy.

AN Diodora and Ajuka are cousins. I've never seen anything that states their brothers. The wiki, TV tropes, and most other sources don't specify brother. So I'm going with cousins.
The Great Satans had regular meetings. They had to, as the highest ranking members of the government overseeing Devilkind.
But this meeting was more ominous than normal, even by recent events. Not one of them had a jovial air about them.

But the galaxy was only quiet when one looked away from the places they knew were rarely if ever peaceful.

"He knows where the Queen's Farm is."
Those words played over in Eren's mind as he stood in an empty room. The only two people occupying it were him and the small boy known as Falco.
Falco regarded him with a very determined expression as if there was something at stake here for his personality.
Still, nothing about his made sense. Historia's farm was never attacked in the other memories, as far as he could tell. Nothing had changed that much...

The ground trembled. The leaves shook free of their branches. The birds for miles scattered in alarm.
There was an unavoidable terror that came with what Naruto was doing here. This part of the Fire Country had never seen him, only heard rumors and stories. To see a bijuu stroll across the landscape, treating vast lakes as puddles and mountains barely as hills, was awe-inspiring at any time.
But the closer he moved to the border, the more others had to fear. ...

So, to explain that sudden burst of posts? After posting the chapters as I did, decided didn't like doing it that way. Someone else pointed out that they're easier to read this way. And I thought it was a better idea to just make these a bonus treat preview for all patrons.
That is all, enjoy.

Eren had never recalled seeing Mikasa smiling so much as she did while lying in his arms, holding one another in his bed.
They hadn't actually gone that far. That was too much, too soon for both of them. But it had been enough; the kissing, the passionate capturing of one another's lips, hands wandering as they held each other.
"What happens now?" Mikasa asked softly, eyes closed and nuzzling her head against Eren's collarbone.
"No idea," Eren admitted with some amusement. T...
