A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Prologue

He looked down upon the crude, kitbashed, holographic display showing a thousand star systems highlighted in green. There seated upon a comfortable throne, he inspected his holdings and found the borders caved. Before him was the map of the entirety of his empire and right at its border highlighted in gold and denoted with the double headed aquila was the enemy at the gates. In one lifetime, he would have rooted for the men under the aquila but today was a different existence, for he was no l...

Owning a Gardevoir has its Perks: Chapter 1

To be a great pokemon trainer, one must be dedicated to the art of raising one's pokemon even if one’s pokemon demands the trainer to join them in their training. For most Hex Maniacs and Psychics most training involved that of the mind so when her new partner asked for her to jog with him Elise was caught off guard and just nodded along. It was then in the middle of the run that she just remembered that most males of the Ralts evolution line dedicate their time to honing their bodies for t...

Weekly Polls #2

Welcome to the second Weekly polls! The second polls was a success and I haven't managed to pin down one of my patron story idea so we move on to Weekly Poll two. This vote will be shorter so vote quickly! 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 the...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 5

Life had surprisingly stayed pretty much the same after that night for Rebecca. Oh sure there was the fact that she was dating royalty but she was still a Solo and Hiro was still the head of the Arasaka R&D. She expected there to be compromises as she was a downtown girl and Hiro was an uptown boy but she did not expect her input to be so extremely supportive of her career as a Solo.

There was no talk of her moving in, well there were some but it was just a thing he brought up once ...

Absolution: Prologue

Waking up to an unfamiliar bedroom was something he never expected to experience in his lifetime. Gone was the small, but comfortable, bed he slept on every night as he laid atop a large four poster bed in the middle of an equally unfamiliar room wearing nothing but a long white toga; though they were admittedly comfortable so he did not mind them overmuch. The room lit up as the light of dawn filtered in through the ornately decorated window on the left of the room. He had no idea where he w...

Owning a Gardevoir has its Perks: Prologue

To be a Hex Maniac, one must be calm and collected when faced with adversity and Elise was pretty sure she was failing that aspect of being a Hex Maniac as she fumbled on her order to her beloved Dartrix. “A-Arrtemis! No! A-ah, Hold on- No! Dodge! Just run!” She cried out in panic as her poor starter was blasted by a wave of psychic energy. Artemis cried out in pain as the blast had her rolling almost all the way.

She whimpered as the Gardevoir snorted in amusement at how s...

Winner of November Polls and Weekly Poll#1

So, it took me a while to tally the polls cause I got sucked into writing the next Neon Cog's chapter. As you can see, I really got into writing that chapter lol. Anywho, let's get down to business. 

Got to say... I should really use an online poll site instead of patreon as weighted votes makes counting harder. I should have made a separate poll for those with heavier polls but what's done is than and I have to manually sort through these. While it adds a bit of confusion on the r...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 4

When Hiro said they needed to stock up before going on a run, she expected them to raid one of the armories inside the building. She did not expect to be dragged straight into Hiro’s personal workshop. The workshop wasn’t what Rebecca expected to be. It wasn’t some heavily defended room on the top of the tower or a secret room which could only be accessed through a hidden passageway, but rather was some out of the way nondescript room with an equally bland door. She would have missed it...

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 12

Nevermore’s new satellite was not a nice place to be in. It was a world of ice, snow and rock, a place perfectly suited to hold those he deemed worthy of being imprisoned. The extremely dense ball of rock and metal had enough mass for its surface to have a gravity similar to that of Earth which gave it enough pull to keep a nice thick atmosphere. It’s stark white surface, thin atmosphere that was barely just enough for someone to breath, and his constant siphoning of heat from the surface...

Weekly Poll #1

Welcome to the first Weekly polls... well technically it's the second cause the one that gave birth to Neon Cogs is technically one but that's a monthly thing instead of a weekly thing. Anyways, rules are you pick one idea here and I'll write the idea by the end of this week 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. Quick side note, next Week's voting might get interrupted if I managed to nail down that Patron fic id...

Fics for November

Ok, I only have a few fic active this months so it wouldn't be that hard to choose... one of them is pretty popular so I have a guess on which one gets first place. Anyways, same rule as last time. You guys can choose 2 fics from the current active rooster of fics and maybe some of the inactive one (which I would rework) if enough of you guys comment on it.  Unlike last time though, only 2 fics get chosen this month as the third slot on my rotation now goes to Patron stuff and/or weekly ...

Wand and Wards: Chapter 3

Star stared at the metallic contraption in front of her. It’s as if someone showed a blacksmith a cart from the side and they ended up only making a flat copy of it. She wasn’t even sure someone could ride it until her cousin just sat on the seat of one before circling around her. Taylor looked at her expectantly but Star was a fish out her elements here. “Umm Taylor… I don’t know how to ride this.” Star said as she poked at the bike leaning against the shed. How does someone trav...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 3

As soon Hiro started dragging her away, everyone in the group started to make excuses to get away. She knew damn well what they were doing and she appreciated it despite how heavy handed they were being. Kiwi was the first to break away from them.

“If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the bar. Later.” The flapper said as she sauntered off to get herself a drink. With how many people were drinking at the bar, Rebecca had a feeling that the drinks were free. Still, she wouldn’t go anywh...

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 11

Nevermore watched as the small landing craft containing the delegation from the Eden Prime landed on his surface. Accompanying it was a craft similar to the SSN Normandy and I could already feel the alien microorganisms inside the ship. They were far more robust, radiation resistant, and used Dextro-protein and Levo-Sugars instead of the Terran Dextro-Sugar and Levo-Protein. The last time he encountered such microorganisms was inside the gut of a certain prisoner he had. The Turian Spectre wa...

Wands and Wards: Chapter 2

The hustle and bustle of the city soon gave way to a less crowded place. There were fewer towers and more townhouses with sprawling lawns around here. There were also a lot less of these ‘cars’ which suited Star just fine. Their riders were some of the rudest people she’d had the pleasure of meeting. People were waving and pointing at them as they passed by. They even had magic mirrors as the people on the side of the street had rectangular mirrors in their hands.

“Mom, are you ...

Neon Cogs: Chapter 2

Hiro didn’t give her a chance to process what just happened at all as he called right after his big damn speech. She jolted in surprise as she saw the caller. She crossed her arms and huffed in annoyance as she stared at the number. She had half a mind to ignore him and his stupidly cute voice but she forgot that her crew was there with her.

Squatting beside her with a stupid grin on his face, Maine started poking her cheeks as he said “Hey, hey, is that who I think who it is?”....

So... Patron benefits overhaul. Third time's the charm?

Ok, when I was making the tier benefits, I might not have realized how much I was going to be giving. The recent uptick in patrons made me realize, holy fuck if more people go for the higher tiers, I'll be swamped with stuff. With that realization in mind, I decided to increase the payment for some of the upper tier benefits. Lower tier ones are safe and the 10$ tier one's gets a benefit I had locked behind 20$.

As for the tier that'll be affected, well... 10$ and above will be hit. No...

Garden of Conquest: Chapter 10

It was just another day on the scenic and idyllic planet of Eden Prime. The fires of war were but a distant memory for inhabitants that lived their lives without worry of harm. After all, Eden Prime was one of the better protected colonies of the System Alliance. It could withstand even the most dedicated of pirate attacks and even full on planetary assaults as its history showed. Everything was peaceful until things started to go wrong and how horribly it went wrong.

The sky above Eden...

Wand and Wards: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Far far away in a magical kingdom called Mewni, there lived a princess… who knew she was going to get in so much trouble right now because the sky is burning and a wild herd of Warnicorns are on the loose. Maybe the people that called her reckless and irresponsible were right, but could they blame her for wanting a bit of fun and danger? It’s as normal as barricading oneself in their own room afterwards.

“Star Butterfly! Open this door this instant...
