Ryn of Avonside Chapter 43

 ** I ran out of milk this morning for my coffee and it was a fucking tragedy, but then my flatmate heard me being a sad grump about it in the hallway and drove me down to get some. He's a hero. Anyway, thanks for reading, thanks again to my wonderful patrons for supporting me in this wild writing journey! Cya tomorrow! **

“Grace!” Adam cried out as we shuffled into the guy’s common room. “You’re awake!”

“Yeah, thanks to Ryn,” she smiled, glancing s...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 42

** Thanks for reading, and thank you so much for patroning me! I was finally able to get a full set of bedding yesterday! I have three fitted sheets, and even a duvet cover for my duvet now! So happy! Also Ashlyn bought me a cute skater-bun pin that I will be sharing pics of when it arrives because omg. Skater bun! Wait, I'm rambling. Cya! **

“Ryn?”

Grace’s voice fluttered pleasantly through my sleeping mind, causing a smile grow through the those bleary first mom...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 41

** Helloooo! Thank you all again! Gosh, I can't believe how far this story has come in such a short time. It's so fun to write, and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it! Also, just an fyi, but patreon is unfortunately hopelessly bugged for me right now and I can't like any of your comments, nor reply to them. Just know that each one makes me grin :) Thank you all again, you're wonderful! **

We rushed into the lift in a hurry, and even the short time it to...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 40

** Mow. Thanks for reading! Thank you to my patrons! Mow! I'm really tired. This is unfortunately the best I can do with my foreword. Mow. **

The rest of the room contained more of the same, magical experiments and cubicles with ancient personal effects littered all over the place. We decided to take any and all photograph things that we could find. Understanding the people who’d built this place would be a huge boon to figuring out a lot of other stuff about its function a...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 39

** And we're back to our regularly scheduled programming! Trouble chapter 49 is also well on its way to being complete, so keep an eye out for that! Thank you all for being patient with my break and I hope the Falling Over chapter helped with the little dry spell! Anyway, thank you so damn much to my patrons, you're amazing. See everyone tomorrow! **

“What? What is it?” Grace asked, her eyes flicking between my face and where I was staring at the ground.

“There’...

Falling Over Chapter 34

** Here's another chapter! I'll see what I can do about making some progress into the next trouble chapter too! I hope you enjoy the read and thanks so much to you patrons for supporting me! **

Brook and I both got a ride to college with Rosie, who was more than happy to help. She seemed like she’d been really enjoying our friendship since she realised her old friends had been crap. In fact, she seemed to be slowly losing that overly preppy attitude she’d had when we firs...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 38

** So this is it! A full month of daily releases with this story! It's been hella fun and so damn rewarding for me on a personal satisfaction level. I hope you all enjoyed it too! now, I will be taking a break from Ryn for like 4 days, just to you know, chill out and stuff. Since I'm an addict as far as writing goes, I'll keep chipping away at the next chapter of Falling Over, which is now one third of the way towards the words per chapter goal for that story. Anyway, thank y...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 37

** One more day until rest! Thank you all for reading, especially my patrons! Also I love comments, but no pressure! Reading everyone's thoughts makes me happy :3 **

Over the next day I nursed my windbreak into full functionality, then began the rather odd work of teaching my bunnies how to harvest all the various crops and resources and then store them. The truly strange part was when they understood my detailed instructions, nodding vaguely as they got to work. The...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 36

 ** :dancing blob emoji: Two more daily chapter releases and I'm going to take a rest for a few days, let myself chill out and think on how to handle the future plot points of the story. Maybe work on the upcoming chapter of Falling Over, which has been started but is slow going. I really don't want to finish that story, because if I finish it, it will be over and I have to say goodbye to my characters :(. Anyway, thanks for reading, thank you so much to my patrons especially. I seriousl...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 35

** Mow, I love buns. Thanks for reading and patroning!! **

Sleeping next to Grace, or at least in the same room proved to be a huge factor in the quality of my sleep I realised as we all blearily had breakfast down in the boy’s common area. Turns out that all the events of the past few months on the ring were taking their toll on my psyche. Restless sleep and nightmares, memories that I skipped and dodged around rather than examining them properly.

Warily...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 34

** Wew! I hope you enjoy the chapter! I have a backlog built up so I can rest a little now! Thank you all so much for your patronage and your readership! I see new patrons coming in every day or so and every time that happens I get so happy, haha. Squeals of excitement generally. Anyway, love you all! **

Dinner was quick, warming up travel food didn’t really take long and wasn’t much more appetising that way. I needed to create some food related plants as soon as possible...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 33

** Intense architectural design chapter, sorry if it's a bit boring :S. Thanks for reading and patroning. **

“Shit! It’s still growing!” I blurted as I switched to mage sight.

It most definitely was. How though? What was causing it to shoot into the air like this? I could see large amounts of growth energy all through the tree, and I followed the stream of power down into the ground. When I saw what was happening, I let out a strangled squeak of a laugh and turned...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 32

** Travel chapter today, followed by little cliff, hope you enjoy, and welcome to my new patrons too! Thank you all so much! **

My dreams were filled with the smell of death and burning flesh, and it caused me to shake awake long before Grace. Violently pushing the memories of the battle out of my head, I tried to steady my breathing and my erratic heartbeat. I’d managed to hold the images of the battle at bay for most of yesterday, so much had been happening, but it seemed...

College Steps Chapter 12

** Gosh this chapter took a while. I knew, vaguely what I wanted to do with it for a long time, but the mental image just wasn't coming to me. I got it done though and yeah it might resemble the latest Ryn chapter a little :). Still, I think I like this chapter more. I've come out of editing it with a big smile on my face and I hope you all come out of reading it with that same smile! Thanks everyone for patroning me, you're all the best! Mow! **

Lianna and I met up ...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 31

** This didn't go as I expected! Oops. Sorry to all those expecting hot gayness. I blame Telesto. I hope you enjoy it though! Thanks for reading and patroning! **

With the rooms sorted, we headed off to find a table for our group. Grace stuck closer to me than I was used to, and I was going from flustered to confused and then to worried about her. Something was definitely bothering her

The group sat down wearily, tired from all the walking we’d been doing recently, as...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 30

** College Steps chapter 12 will be out tomorrow(24hrs)! Sorry it's been such a long time! You might have noticed me get really distracted by like 3 different stories... just maybe. It's a fun chapter though and I've been working hard to make it a good one. I feel kinda really proud of it. Anyway, thank you all for being patient with me again, and thank you for being my readers and patrons! **

After I’d accepted Eilian’s offer of some magical pointers, she’d decided to ...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 29

**Alright, update on the College Steps chapter. I didn't manage to get any done yesterday because for no reason my brain decided that it was going to be super depressed for most of the day. This was fixed by crying over bun videos and hugging my toy bun. Anyways, it's at like 2k words now and yeah it's fun, I'm happy with where it's going. Thanks again for being so patient! Anyway uh, enjoy the chapter, see you all in the next one and thank you for being my patrons!!! **

Grac...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 28

** I have my meds again! Then promptly slept in super hard lol. Here's the chapter! Thanks so much for reading and patroning! **

The next two days saw us travelling like this, avoiding main roads and the occasional patrol. The patrols weren’t Fennimore’s men thankfully, but rather the local men-at-arms doing their rounds. Still, being seen by them would be bad, they had surely heard of what had happened back in Ritodunum.

I wish we knew what the actual local politic...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 27

** Wooo, posting quickly so that ppl can read! Thanks for all the support everyone! Love you all and thanks for reading and patroning! See you all again tomorrow! **

We waited in the Grove for three days, and I spent most of that time setting up the outer ring of trees around the plateau. A few of the little growth bushes kept dying off for reasons I couldn’t figure out, but on the whole the system seemed to be working well, and by the end of the three days I had the first ...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 26

** Woke up feeling like I've been hit by truck-kun, but it forgot to do the isekai part. Ow my head. Did I get drunk last night? Thanks for reading everyone, and patroning toooo! **

Lunch was quick, no one wanted to linger over travel food after all, and once it was over I was free to work my magic. Literally. First, I needed to get the plateau properly protected from the elements, which meant starting to create a wind break all around the edges.

Something I’d learned...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 25

** Mow, fun chapter, much gay. Also for those who like the story, I have actually made headway on the next chapter of College Steps. I kinda faltered in that story because I was a little stuck with how the chapter should go, and when I don't know what to do with something I freeze up and don't do it at all. I have ideas and a plan now though! So hopefully I can get that done soon! Thank you all so much for being so patient with me, and thank you for your continued support! **

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 24

** Goddess I'm shattered. When is winter coming again? I want to be able to sleeeeep. **

As an hour passed, and then an hour more, we began to grow worried. James was nowhere to be found, we’d searched the market twice looking for him. Now, I’ll be one of the first to admit that of all the people to go mysteriously missing, I’d rather it was James. Still, he was one of us, and more importantly he knew a lot of shit that could be damaging if he fell into the...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 23

** Hello! Just a heads up, whenever patreon gets their shit together and gives us the new tag system (Why the hell did they remove the old one before adding the new one), I'll go back through and try to tag all the posts with the story in question to make it easier to read on patreon. Anyway, thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for patroning! It's really great to see comments here on patreon now, makes me feel like there's a little community growing and I love it <3. **

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 22

** This one definitely got away from me on the word count front, and yeah it was because it got very very gay. I hope you enjoy, thanks for reading and patroning! **

“I’ve been thinking, with the addition of Ryn to our group, we might want to get our hands on some of the local literature, if we can,” Troy said to the group gathered under my new tree. “Wait, can you read Anve as well as speak it?”

It was pleasantly cool in the hollow space under the br...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 21

** And the chapter at the usual time! Thank you all so much for reading and patroning! If you missed it, there was a chapter outside the normal time of posting, so go check that out first. **

“Attacked? What? By who?” I asked worriedly, then turned quickly to Grace. “Are the others okay?”

I could feel myself beginning to freak out, I really hoped Bray was okay. He was my best friend and one of the only people who’d ever truly gotten me. He had to be...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 20

 ** Boop! Surprise chapter! Thank you all again for patroning me!!!! **

All the Avonside people put their helmets back on as we left the alleyways, and that reminded me to put my whole disguise back on as well. Couldn’t have this reunion messed up already when some random stranger saw my magenta hair could we?

Grace’s helmet cocked to the side when the magical portion of my disguise reappeared, and she commented, “Ginger huh?”

“It matches my real ha...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 19

** So, hello everyone, doing a proper afterword this time! I expected to write maybe 10 chapters of Ryn, then feel inspiration for my other stories and write them for a bit. Yeah... I'm sure many of you could have told me that wouldn't work, and that I'd end up hooked on writing this story. Funnily enough though, the low word count per chapter for Ryn has meant that I can keep a rough release schedule for the first time and still get some work done on my other stories. So, with that in mind, ...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 48

** Soooo yeah. I think my break away from Trouble has really helped me. The last few chapters of this story were feeling... off, in a way I couldn't pinpoint. Idk, maybe none of you noticed, maybe I'm wrong. But it didn't have that spark that Trouble is meant to have. This chapter feels good though, it feels like it's back. That doesn't mean I'm going to be focusing exclusively on the story again, because I have Ryn of Avonside as my passion right now, but it's definitely occupying some brain...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 18

** So uh, this one kinda got away from me. Way longer than the 2k word limit I set for this story, but whatever. It was fun to write. Hope you enjoy, thanks for reading and patroning! Also, expect a Trouble chapter in a few hours! **

A jolt shook me awake, and I gasped, flailing and clawing around me as I tried to figure out where I was. Was Bray playing a prank on me, what was happening? Why did I feel so strange? What was on my face?

I threw it off, finding that it wa...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 17

** Hey! It just came to my attention that the link to the discord I had in the welcome message didn't work, so I've fixed it! https://discord.gg/z2zbScF here's the link again just in case, and make sure to DM me a screenshot of your patronage or something so I can give you the role, because the patreon bot is broken on our server. (I'm called Glade in the server right now by the way, but it changes often. You can always tell i...
