The rest of the week came and went. Sabah texted me to say she’d been brainstorming a few ideas, but had yet to decide on just what she wanted to do with her cape life. I was fine with that. Hell, I’d be satisfied if she decided she didn’t want a cape life at all.
Amy was busy with her own life but gave me a pack of lychee-flavored peanuts to show me that s...

By my estimate, I was about fourteen or fifteen miles in when we first started moving at dawn. The morning hours blurred together, and given the excitement of the night prior, a bit of doldrum was welcome. Like the day before, we kept our lunch simple: stale bread, canned chili, and dried fruit. I was running low on water again, but we’d be fine for the day.
Thankfully, we hadn’t had too many battles. Rocket was ...

My brother was frustrating.
He was a genius sculptor, musician, painter, tailor, and whatever other flavor of “artist” he put his mind to. Nobles in Mondstadt liked to say that art was the “second soul.” Euri would laugh at father, saying they could keep their seconds, because by their silly poetry, he had a third.
He was a prophet, an oracle who foretold the coming of Stormterror an...

My new hangar was ready, but I wouldn’t have enough time to complete Project: Gamera. The next endbringer was in two or three weeks and though I had faith in my ability to build a mecha, I wasn’t that fast. Even with all the resources of Cauldron, there were aspects of hextech that could not be foisted off onto others.
That didn’t mean Project: Gamera was worthless. The gi...

Not a commission. Today is Chuseok, which is basically the Korean harvest festival. It's kind of like our Thanksgiving, with fewer awkward family dinners with your gay cousin and drug dealer uncle and more rice cakes. I don't have anyone in DC to celebrate with so have a free chapter.
Besides, you did say Spoon might beat ACL in the poll if you got a chapter this month, too. Prove it.

When I joined my classmates in the Slytherin common room the following morning, it was to find a strange sort of hubbub. Strange in that it technically wasn’t much of a hubbub at all. Us snakes weren’t known to make a ruckus after all.
Still, there was a small crowd of people milling about the fireplace. They were looking up at four hourglasses that occupied the m...

I’d been lied to. Tricked. Scammed, hoodwinked, bamboozled, and all those other words.
The Third was not in fact looking out for me. He was not being respectful of my time, nor was he giving me the chance to train in relative privacy while still contributing to the village. No, that smug, shit-flinging bastard took into account something I’d overlooked.

Dean Stansfield was in the Rig. This wasn’t an usual occurrence, the Wards operated out of PRT HQ for the most part, but he was probably the Ward who visited most often. These visits inevitably made him feel like a fraud.
He was Gallant, Brockton Bay’s third heroic tinker. He made power armor and had his signature “photo-empathic” blasts. At least one of those was false, a lie perpetuated to hide the fac...

I flamed back to the Roost. Joseph Powers fancied himself a more “modern” Owl, someone who could advance the Court with the times. He was a sleazy piece of shit, but he was a reasonable one. If nothing else, having him keep an eye out for relics for me should prove beneficial in the future.

The third floor of the Palanquin had been converted into an apartment suite for their personal use. I found Newter and Elle in the lounge, settled into the sofa with an enormous tub of popcorn as large as Newter's torso. I wanted to go say hi; they'd be leaving for a month or so after tonight.

It wasn’t uncommon for me to find myself in the salt flats of Bolivia. I’d tried training in other locations. The Sahara made me itchy, the Himalayas was too rocky, and the view from Mount Kilauea got stale remarkably quickly, prime vacation destination or no. There was something about the salt flats, the illusion of an infinite, boundless horizon, that kept me coming back.

I stood atop the peak of Dragonspine, or really, what I considered the halfway point between the base and the true peak. Here, a solitary Statue of the Seven stood in ever-silent vigil, looking down over Mondstadt below. The view wasn’t quite as great as from the Skyfrost Nail, but it was nice nonetheless, and the best that most sojourners ever got to see.
I'd tried everything. I sang hymns befo...

I owe you two chapters of ACL this month. Here's the first.
All my stories get posted at least two weeks in advance here. Although, out of courtesy to the people who've followed me on Akun, I think I'll bend the rules and post these two publicly at the same time.
Third onwards though? It's fair game. I gotta milk it for money where I can XD.

You guys know the drill. ACL won this month so there won't be ACL on the poll for September.
If you're a commissioner, tell me which stories you want next month. If you don't, I'm going to assume you just like giving me money. Unless you have already, in which case, I have you, don't worry.
Things I published last month:
4: Life 4, Grill Omake 1-3

As the sun began to set, the timer weighed on me. It had seemed so simple when I first received the mission. About twenty-five miles was easily doable for a veteran hiker. I’d thought that I’d be able to circle the manmade lake well before the timer ran out.
