Rest in Peace 1

Slate Silva

Mantle was a shitshow. The floating island of Atlas loomed oppressively overhead. The dumb fucker who decided to use the Relic of Creation was a braindead fool. He couldn’t just park his fucking island a few miles out of city limits or something. So Mantle was, quite litera...

The Gotham City Museum of Natural History was a place of countless treasures. Usually, most of those treasures were only of interest to academics and tourists, but not this time. The curators had arranged for the museum to host a geology exhibit, one with many precious minerals and gems.

Of particular interest to me was the star of the exhibit, the largest cut chrysoberyl in the world....

Amy’s little speech left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. It also left me feeling surer about the Taylor Question: She shouldn’t trigger. I didn’t think I’d be able to look Taylor in the eyes if I allowed that to happen.

I wasn’t crazy enough to think that I should be “Earth-Bet’s only protagonist” or something. Frankly, if I thought someone else had a rea...

Zabini Manor, Great Britain

I turned in that night with complicated feelings. I was exhausted.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d drawn the attention of a predator, a big cat with absolutely zero sense of remorse or shame, and a deep-seated craving for “interesting” things. She’d be watching me like her favorite soap opera.

I had carte blanche to do as I pleased with Violet. B...

Oberyn was a wonderful entertainer. Really, he was as charismatic as I’d been led to believe. He had a thousand and one questions for me of course, but with each question, he told me a bit more about himself in exchange.

He told me about all the places he’d been and things he’d done during his travels. He told me about a bar fight in Bravos and a pirate raid he’d helped fend off while he sailed from Esso...

I loved nature and I didn't care how much crap the twins gave me. Yes, I was a hippie, so what?

There was something special about the great outdoors. I loved the wind in my hair, the earthy smell of soil and grass. I loved how the leaves rustled and every sound melded together into the perfect background music. I really loved everything about the wilds. It wasn’t just the chance to be away from the twins, eithe...

Despite one being a princess, and the other as good as, the two girls awoke with the dawn. That was the kind of world this was; there was no such thing as sleeping in ‘til noon, not even for pseudo-royalty.

They did need several seconds to figure themselves out however. They’d gone to sleep beneath a stone tent made with earth magic. Other than the light streaming in through the doorway I’d left them, it m...

To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
To the politician, the glass would be more empty if the opposition were in charge.
To the middle management, the glass would be full if the head office would listen to him.
To the fanatic, the glass is full, even though it isn’t...

I ducked out of the way as a folding chair sailed past my head. The guy who swung it was about my age, with enough acne scars to draw out the constellations on his face. He watched way too much pro wrestling; someone should have told him chairs were awful blunt weapons. 2025-06-30 12:31:34 +0000 UTC View Post

The train was nice. Someone had bothered to redecorate the upholstery, not that that was a difficult task with magic involved.

That really was the most exciting thing to happen on the ride home. And why would things be otherwise? It wasn’t as if I had any lasting rivalries against other houses. The ride was seven hours long and I could only spend so long reading a...

I took an angry bite from my French salad. The food looked tasty, but no way was I letting that much fat and carbs into my body. I had a modeling career to look forward to, and the New Year’s shoot was coming up. I glanced at Victoria, stuffing her face without a care in the world. It must have been nice, having Panacea on call.

“That’s for me, right?” my favorite Illuminati puppet master asked as she strolled through a Door. She knew; she was just being polite.

I continued to stir the cauldron. Its contents were an aggressive pink, or maybe violet, and bubbled like a witch’s brew. Maybe because it may as well be. It was easily the most controversial potion I’d ever made. “You got the memo then. You know I’...

I’d heard about the Forever Fall field trip, but I wasn’t particularly interested. Though the red sap was somewhat unique, it alone wasn’t enough to hold my attention.

From what I could tell, the red trees were a variety of maple that wasn’t found anywhere on Earth. They were very similar to sugar maples, with an extraordinarily high sugar content that was perfect for syrup-making.

The last week of the semester passed in a blur. I attended the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw game on Sunday, if only to show everyone that I wasn’t a complete hermit. It was a little annoying and reminded me of the time I was volun-told to oversee a fraternity party at the university I used to work at.

The puffs won because Cedric Diggory was a competent seeker, but n...

I spent the rest of August and first half of September fulfilling my promise to Glen. Which was to say, I went on tours to the cities of friends and associates, mostly just to show my face.

It was unexpectedly nice, and in general not a huge time commitment with Doormaker’s help. I spent most of that time with the Wards, giving them basic training exercises or tutoring a local tinker if they ...

I tugged insistently at my tie until I felt it loosen somewhat in my grip.

I ended up with a navy suit and tie that was, admittedly, fitted to perfection.

I’d visited the Dallon home briefly once before, back when Amy conned m...

People stared at me like I was a strange beast. Slytherins did not hum. They cer...

It was official. I no longer knew what was happening.

I’d seen a great many things in my myriad lives. I’d seen wonders beyond mortal imagining, terrors too. There were times when I questioned my self-imposed crusade, when I wondered if the gods had been right and there was nothing about humanity worth saving. It was a constant whisper in the back of my mind, the urge to simply give up the good fight.
