Neon Cogs: Act 2 Chapter 2

Act 2 Chapter 2

Rebecca grinned as she stared up the glowing blue and pink neon signs before her. With the bright and stylized font of the bar's name along with the strutting outline of a skull-faced whore, she’d found her once more in her old stomping ground. “Lizzie’s bar,” She whispered with a grin on her face as she walked up to the line that had formed at the entrance to the bar.

With all the excitement she experienced in the past few months, she cert...

Absolution: Chapter 3

Cleaning House

Absolution could only scream inside as he faced a room of panicking believers. Some shouted and begged for him to delay the apocalypse while others were starting to panic. With the room on the verge of descending into pandemonium, he had to act fast. Raising his hand, he assured them “No! There will be no apocalypse anytime soon. Not when you guys just got to the moon a few decades ago!”

He could only sigh in relief as their panic looks turned t...

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 16 (Lewds)

Chapter 16

In the end, a compromise was made between the races of the Citadel on the matter of Nevermore’s citizenship. As his allegiance to any single nation would cause the balance of power to tip to an untenable level, he was given what was effectively a citizenship to the Citadel. He technically only holds allegiance only to the Citadel and the Citadel alone. As for what’s the perk of this particular citizenship?

“We should ban pants,” Jinx suddenly su...

March Poll Winner and Emergency Poll

So, I've forgot to tell you guys that it's Neon Cogs and Garden of Conquest that won the the polls, my bad. The higher tier patron's weighted votes pushed the other fics down.

As for what's this Emergency Poll is about? I Just want to ask if you guys would be ok if I ditch the weekly polls for this month so I can give Absolution some regular updates. With all the new faces around, I have an idea on what you guys might want but just making sure so people are ok about it. 

Neon Cogs: Interlude 2

Interlude 2

A Day in Night City

Life in Night City wasn’t like what it used to be. It was different, radically so, but in a good way for most. This was the reality that John woke up within in his clean spacious apartment located right inside Watson. Even after all the times he’d peered out of his apartment window while he prepared for the day, he still couldn't believe the change that had happened in the city.

There before him was the same vibrant city t...

Absolution: Chapter 2

Chapter 2

His name was Absolution and he was absolutely spent right now. He sighed wearily as he slumped against his throne. After that rather embarrassing display where he had basically opened up the well of power deep within him and having it burst out like a shaken cola bottle, things had more or less settled down.

“Your coffee my lord,” A two winged angel whispered reverently as came in with a pot of coffee, some cups and a whole lot of treats to chew on. ...

March 2023 Polls

Welcome to the March 2023 Poll! Got to be honest, February really wasn't the best month. With all the traveling and interruptions I had during that month, there was a slow down on chapter posting. Hopefully, March would be different as I try to keep things reasonable. I'll do my best and give you my all!  With that out of the way, here's the current choices you can make for this month! We have two new contenders for this month with My Lovely Rose and Life Goes On coming into the mix. Not...

Absolution: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

He gritted his teeth in frustration as he leaned back against the throne. Slowly, he reached for his nose and pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt the looming headache rear it ugly head. Oh, he couldn’t have a headache as he was God but the sentiment still stood as he just found exactly where he was right now and he wasn’t sure if he should be elated or be in despair.

There he sat as he listened to his seraphs while they brought him up to spee...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 6

Planting Season

Magsnik stared at the field before him, surveying the land before him as he adjusted the straw hat he wore. The fields had been left to rest for a bit, letting wild fungi grow on it unimpeded just like how it should be.  They protected the soil while he prepared for the next planting season but now, they had to go. With leftover mulch and other flammable material spread over the overgrown field, it was now ready. “Dirt, if you could do the honors?...

Neon Cogs: Act 2 Chapter 1

Act 2 Chapter 1

If somebody told Rebecca 3 months ago that she’d be both the personal executioner and mistress of a big shot in Arasaka, she would have shot them in the head and burned their bodies for good measure for insulting her. It was supposed to be an impossibility, yet life had a funny way of turning people’s expectations upside down. Just a few months ago, she was just another solo from the mean streets of Night City but things took a turn for the better wh...

Life Goes On: Prologue

Set Your Heart Ablaze!

To take upon the mantle of a Huntress, one must dedicate their life to protecting the weak and innocent. To be a huntress is to spend every waking hour fighting off the very darkness spawned by mankind. It’s no easy decision given how one must offer their own lives for the safety of others. The life of a huntress is a life of sacrifices. Many would balk at such responsibilities but Yang wasn’t like your typical girl, she liked to believe she ...

My Lovely Rose: Prologue

One Bad Trip

When Ivy took in her best friend Harley after a particularly nasty break up with her “Puddin’~”, she expected some headaches. It was after all unavoidable considering how crazy Harley could be at times. It was actually a miracle how they got along, but the world had a funny way of bringing people together. Still, as much as she loved the adorably misguided firebrand of a psychiatrist that she called her bestie, Harley could sometimes get on her nerves...

4 Day Mental Healthy Break & Weekly Poll Results

I planned to squeeze out two fics in the last 3 days but I failed which is pretty much a sign for me to take a break. Sorry if I got your hopes up but its been taxing trying to keep up this pace especially after my chapters started balloning to the 4k and above range when I used to only do 2-3k back then. It's only a short break and I'm already counting this day as the 1st day so just 3 more days to go after this. Once again, I'm really sorry but yeah.

On the matter of the Weekly Polls...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 5

Here Comes A New Challenger!

Magsnik held the rabid squig as it snapped at him with those razor sharp chompers it had for a mouth. He hummed as he held it up against another fatter and far more docile squig which happily sat on the palm of his hands with a stupid smile and happy grin stretched across its face. He huffed as he found that the rabid squig was not only extremely aggressive but it was also leaner and smaller than his baseline squig.

“One more into th...

Weekly Polls #5

And we're back with a vengeance. After a month long break from doing snippets, here we are once more. I have some new ideas that had taken hold inside my head and old ideas that I have refined. I wonder which fic idea would be chosen. It'll be short... probably 1.5k to 2k long (I promise I won't go overboard this time... or I probably will) and it'll be added to next months voting. Now choose from my pretty babies! Pick one plot bunny for me to raise and cherish. Here they are and I hope one ...

February 2023 Polls and a short 4-5 day break

Hey, it's February already and it's just 2 days away from my birthday. It's been quite the run but I need to get some rest... like some reasonable rest if that's ok. I just need to take a 4-5 day break after doing the current fic I'm doing and the the next fic in the schedule (Would depend if I can start GoC before the polls ends) because I'm slowing down and that scares me. I don't want to burn out. Just going to give you a heads up. 

With that out of the way, here's the current c...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 10 (w/ Lewds)

Chapter 10

The meeting with the in-laws was finally over and Rebecca couldn’t help but slump over; disheartened with worry creeping her chest. She had been sent away with nary a thought and now she waited here in the gardens after the asshat of a butler dropped her off to get her some coffee. She was left with nothing but her thoughts and a paper bag full of fresh peas. She was tempted to throw the bag away but decided on not wasting perfectly good food.

Now, sh...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 10 (Lewds Redacted)

The meeting with the in-laws was finally over and Rebecca couldn’t help but slump over; disheartened with worry creeping her chest. She had been sent away with nary a thought and now she waited here in the gardens after the asshat of a butler dropped her off to get her some coffee. She was left with nothing but her thoughts and a paper bag full of fresh peas. She was tempted to throw the bag away but decided on not wasting perfectly good food.

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 15

Nevermore idly shifted the tentacled form he had assumed as the delegation from the Citadel sat down in front of him. He shifted his eyes down from his “face” down to his “arms” to check himself. Admittedly, his body was imperfect as his lower half was still anchored to the floor but he had at least a vaguely humanoid appearance which his visitors could look at. His many eyes didn’t miss how the Salarian Councilor flinched at the sight, with the Asari putting up a polite but straine...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 4

Gone Fishing

Magsnik wiped away a stray bead of sweat before he looked around and surveyed the fortifications he had been building for the farm. With scraps aplenty littering the plains outside the valley there was no shortage of metal for which he could make his walls with. Already half of the wall had been constructed as their jagged tops jutted out from the ground and the pile of metal he’d gathered had yet to shrink.

The wall might look half-assed, but he ha...

Neon Cogs: Interlude 1

Adversary or Friend?

David stared up at the white washed ceiling while the sound of the news droned on in the background. There, he lay in a comfortable bed while his former bully, Tanaka, sat beside it. There was silence between them as Tanaka just sat there, hunched over and staring down at the floor while his feet tapped upon it while he on the other hand contented himself just listening to the news. It was just him, Tanaka, and the other boys foot tapping

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 14

Stars streaked past Nevermore as he barreled through the cosmos. With sufficient heat bubbling inside his core, he staved off his lack of a sufficiently large enough “gas tank”. While he was of flesh and blood, his innards weren't as they were made of molten metal and a solid radioactive centerpiece. He took advantage of this feature by using it as a battery of sorts with which he could store heat that he could tap as he traveled between the stars.The feeling of flesh bathing in lava was ...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 3

A Place of New Beginnings

Magsnik’s eyes slowly creaked open at the portal’s rhythmic brightening, something he had noticed just recently, shined through the window. It was a slight increase in overall brightness, but it was enough that it went from seeing things like one’s eyes had just adjusted to the dark to walking in moonlight. He suppressed a groan of frustration as he felt Beel’s busty form laid atop him. The memories of last night hit him just as hard as...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 9

Rebecca adjusted her obi for what felt like the hundredth time and it didn’t help with how stuffy and heavy it all was. She couldn’t help it as she needed to be absolutely immaculate on this specific day because this was the day she meets Hiro’s grandfather, who was none other than Subaro Arasaka. To say the man was legendary in night city would be an understatement for only a man of supreme will could hold the titanic empire that was Arasaka together.

“Come on Rebecca, just bre...

January 2023 Polls

Happy New Year! December had been a rather slow month but it's finally over and a new year has just rolled in. Sorry about the slow response. Spending almost 2 weeks in the province away from my comfortable seat as well as air conditioning is a bitch and half to deal with.  Anyways, with that out of the way, on with the polls!

We have one new contender for the month and that would be Chill, Have an Ice Cream which is my fluffy slice of life fic set in My Hero Academia. The other f...

Shiki's Twenty Year Plan: Chapter Zero

Chapter Zero: The Tale of Genji

High up in the clouds, far from the insanity that was the Blue Sea down below, was where Shiki finally retired. The view was amazing up in the sky with nothing but birds and clouds to accompany him. The sound of the wind and the cries of seagulls brought him back and allowed him to reminisce on days gone by.

Don’t get him wrong, he was still very much a pirate at heart but without Roger, the seas weren't that interesting. He could...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 2

A Helping Hand

Magsnik gazed out into the vast field before him as the heavy handle of his scythe rested upon his shoulder. This was his battleground, for today was harvest day and he needed to get as much of his crops as he could. His crops had a ridiculously short growing cycle but that suited him just fine. It would allow him to stock up fast especially when he had another mouth to feed.

He glanced towards his farm's other inhabitant, “Oy! No eating the cro...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 8

Rebecca had faced down gangers armed to the teeth, seasoned solos with better equipment, and even cyberpsychos with more chrome than sense; but nothing could have ever prepared her for what she was dealing with right now. There she was, seated inside one Arasaka Tower, with Hiro beside her as they tried to deal with a highly irate and livid Michiko. They squirmed in their seats, afraid to even look up and meet the woman's eyes, as she scolded them.

“What the fuck were you two thinking...

Weekly Polls #4

Welcome to the 4th Weekly polls! Same rules as before, you pick one idea here and I'll write the idea after I finish my two other fics. It'll be short... probably 1.5k to 2k long but it'll be added to next months voting. Now choose from my pretty babies! Pick one plot bunny for me to raise and cherish. Here they are. Hope one of them catches your eye. This fic will be worked on after I finished Neon Cogs Chapter 8 and A Warboss's Retirement Plan Ch 2. You guys have... 4 days to vote.

Making you Smile: Chapter 1

Soldier, Poet, King

Sometimes, Vex wondered why she tolerated being around Pan. He always had this stupid smile on his face that made her feel funny and he was the biggest idiot she knew but no matter what happened, he’d always be there for her. She had insulted him, throwing as much hate as she could into those words, yet he merely smiled and said that he’d just have to do better. He never gave up on her and she couldn’t help but admire him for that. He was alwa...
