Taking the Chance
Another day, another sleepless night. With her back against the corner of her room, he sat there on the cold hard ground as she threw a small rubber ball against the wall. The rhythmic thump of the toy as it bounced around, ricocheting against her lumpy bed and the various scrolls scattered around proved almost therapeutic for her mind. It wasn't like she'd hit something of value inside her painfully bare room.
She should probably stop but it ...
Meet the Neighbors
With pots of bubbling marina and fresh pasta cooking over the boiling water that was salty as the sea, Chef found himself once more locked in battle against the ravenous appetite of Night City. No matter how many he served, the line kept growing. As one customer left with their plate full of Spaghetti meatballs, two more took their place.
"Three orders and extra breadsticks!" An elderly gentleman shouted as the line shifted once more. It was ...
Family Matters
As the Emperor's companion, Malcador had seen him take on countless roles throughout the ages. He had been a philosopher who inspired countless visionaries, a general to vast armies, a scientist who discovered wonders beyond comprehension, a ruler to long forgotten civilizations, and even a father as he was right now to his sons. Yet, as he watched his friend sitting there all petrified and confused, he realized that his friend had one role that he had y...
Chapter 4
The room lit up with a baleful crimson hue as Cici and the rest of the Irregulars opened fire. She could feel her longlas whining, it's barrel sizzling as she already pushed it with her makeshift cannon but she couldn't stop, not when faced with this demon. She knew her luck was horrible but she didn't know that it was bad enough that she'll face such a monster.
Clad in the defiled image of the Angel of the Emperor and just as every bit terrifying, the...
Last months Weekly Poll was fun. We got Lawman and Profiteering From Magical Girls. There was a bit of a mess over at voting cause someone voted more than four times so kinda just decided to do the top two. It turned out well though yeah?
One more thing before we start this poll. The winner of this months poll was Lawman and Seoul Kitchen. Lawman fans really pulled through for the Primarch SI! Anyways, let's get this poll started!
Like always, here are the rules. One, You can ch...

While chatting over coffee was relaxing, that wasn't why Kiwi came over. He still had an inbox that needed sorting and Kiwi had other things to do, job she needed done. Sitting by her side, he watched as the deluge of messages sorted itself out. Glancing to the edgerunner beside him as her eyes flashed with the streams of data, he was quickly reminded that she wasn't just a mere merc but a netrunner.

An Apology over Coffee
Returning to his shop, Chef would find a rather irate Kiwi waiting for him by her lonesome. He almost didn't recognize her as she was wearing a good of all things but he recognized that face mask anywhere. Glaring at him as he approached her, she muttered tiredly, "You're late."
"Yeah, sorry about that," He replied, wincing at the look she gave him. Looking at his clock, he told her, "I kinda got side tracked with some stuff," He really sh...
The Sweetest of Lies
This does not make any sense, nothing here made sense. Magnsik knew he had ran away, that he had fled that faithful battle yet here he was, back in Ullanor where it all should have ended. He sat there in the same familiar throne his reign, his clutched upon a tankard of his favorite brew, while he listened to the reports of his generals. Why was he here?
Turning his gaze to the holographic display before him, he found himself staring at the...
June was a bit of a mess to be honest. The tooth extraction, the late start and then that little clog near the end. Really wish it could have been different but I just have to roll with the punches. Sorry about that. I'm still doing the second winner of the polls but yeah, a bit bummed that I'm only going to make one. Warboss is currently on the way. Will try to get it out before Sunday rolls around or I hope so. Anyways, on with the polls!

Leading a revolution was far harder than Kermit had ever anticipated. He once thought it would simply be a matter of winning the war but as it turns out, it was only half the battle. Turns out, he also had to keep the various strong personalities from tearing each other apart as was the case with the two on his shoulder.
"Pizda!" Jaghatai shouted in anger as the man grabbed the Dhrukari by the scruff of her neck and threw he...
Sorry for the slow down in post. Just trying to get a chapter of a Frog's Blessing done but it's proving to be a painful process. Things aren't just gelling well in the writing ends of things. I had to scrap like 3 different versions of the start alone. Staring at a blank screen and the words just refusing to be written sucks balls.
There is progress but it's a snails pace and I hate how it's eating up so much time. I really want this to get done but its fighting me every step of the ...
Small Acts of Kindness
With a cart full ingredients, Chef marched back to the alley to find the kid along with a dozen so with him. They were a motley bunch, mostly teens like the boy as well as one lone old man to with them. The fact that he wasn't getting shot was a good sign. He'd rather not have to get himself into a firefight because he thrusted the wrong kid.
"Yo kid!" He called out, waving at the boy who hesitantly raised their hands back at him as the r...
The Unwanted
Walking down the street, Chef found himself in a rather cheery mood. Humming out a half forgotten tune as he passed by the various stalls in the Cherry Blossom Market, he found fellow store owner cleaning up yesterdays trash. "It's a good day today, isn't it" He greeted only to be meet by foul scowls and dark muttering.
"Yeah… maybe not," He whispered disappointedly as he averted his gaze and moved on. Despite being here for close to a month now,...

It is the 30th Millenium and the Old Night has finally ended. The Imperium of Man, inheritors to the lost glory of humanity, is about to launch a grand crusade to unite the vast desperate realms of mankind. With the Emperor of Mankind at its helm and the inexhaustible legions behind him, humanities future amongst the stars is all but secured. Still, the Emperor is but one man.

To Find Peace
Sleep for Kuina would prove illusive as things took a turn for the worse. Sweat poured down her forehead even as her teeth chattered against each other, threatening to shatter them while her body was shaking itself to pieces. Tossing and turning under cover, she couldn't decided if it was better to freeze to death or burn to ash as she felt her sickness ravage her form.
Even as the world became a blur of sounds and shapes, blending together in an i...
My New Reality
They say reality is stranger than fiction, that nothing that is ever written down or conjured by the human mind could ever compare to what life can throw at us mortals. Back when I was still older but none the wiser, I would have said otherwise; That fiction can overcome the strangeness of reality. However, as I sat there before the principal's desk while the woman read through my files, I made sure to sure avoid staring at the name and level hovering ov...
With the monthly polls getting revived, maybe it's time that I revive the Weekly Polls as well! Welcome to 15th Weekly poll or rather the second Bi-Weekly Polls! Let's get to voting shall we?
Like always, here are the rules. One, You can choose 4 stories max. Use it or lose it. Two, I can only spend 1 day on it. A few hours the next day if I can't finish it but it's going to be a small chapter. It's meant to be eye catching so there's the possibility that it can get reworked or have ex...

With all the attention Seoul Kitchen had gotten as well and just a few spanners here and there, we might have kept delaying this but no more. We're bringing this back cause I love all my fics and I want to see if there's gonna be a shakeup on which fic gets updated! Now without further ado, let the voting begin!

2024-06-09 16:39:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt's just one impacted teeth but fuck, can’t eat properly cause swallowing hurts. I can’t even jog or exercise cause I need to rest. Most of the time, I'm distracted by the pain, so I'm going to take a rest.
It'll only be a week of rest, so I'll be back in no time. Sorry about this.
To Achieve Tranquility
Clutching her sword, Kuina shivered as she stood there in the middle of the clear all while snow fell around her. She could feel her extremities aching as the cold sapped away at her strength and stole her breath. Not even her precaution of saving up for a thick winter clothes and a scarf she had prepared for this years winter. Still, despite the cold, her form was soak through with sweat as steam wafted of their form.

Kermitani
Yvraine gazed down from her hidden perch upon the procession heading for Khaine’s Gate with apprehension as it draw ever closer to the new built Arena at the foot of the Monolithic structure. With the vast fleet of reavers and raiders flying overhead, one would think that they were escorting vast quantities of prisoners to consecrate the pits or perhaps the ruler of the city was holding a triumph and was to parade an important prisoner. The trut...

Is currently writing another chapter of the Old One Fic. Will finish this before going back to Seoul Kitchen.
The Pizza Man
Sitting there on the train, arms crossed and legs tapping, with earplugs stuck in his ears, Chef felt like he was going to go insane. "Come one, when's the next stop," He muttered as he glanced at his clock, eager to get off his current ride.
Chef never really liked the public transportation in Night City. Now don't get him wrong, he admired just how well built and efficient the transportation was. In fact, his current ride was actually quite pleas...
Silly Little Problems
As he stared at the mountain of messages rolling down his inbox, he realized that maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to use his main line for his job posting. "At least I got a lot of replies," He told himself as he sat there by the counter while he waited for the sausages to cook.
"Is it done yet?" Himiko asked as she jumped on his back and peered from behind his shoulder. Gazing back at her, he chuckled at how she drooled at the sight of ...

Cici was never really that much of a devout believer to the faith. Oh sure, she prayed to the emperor as much as any other guardsman but she may have only done so light heartedly. Don't get her wrong, he definitely believed in the Emperor and his wisdom, but she didn't see him as someone that would have better things to do that get involved in the plight of those like her. She shouldn't be bothering him with her wishes.
However, as she sat there in th...
Amongst Good Company
After spending months on my own, waking up to the sound of bleating goats was a strange, but welcomed, change of pace. As awareness returned to me once more, eyes still bleary and body sore from yesterdays excitement, I found myself laying atop a bed of pine leaves and straw. It was no foam bed but compared to what I've been sleeping on all this time, it was a far more luxurious fare.
Stretching, I found my back free of sores and kinks. "Go...
A Curious Case of Cheeseburgers
Faraday liked to believe that he is a man with a refined palate, a gourmand; one that required to be satiated from time to time. While some would call it a waste, to splurge out on something as simple as food, he sees it as enjoying the finer things in life. To enjoy a good meal is to live a good life. What use would all his wealth would be if he was a miser, keeping it hidden or locked away in some secure bank vault?
Still, he w...

Seasons came and went, bringing with it change to the sleep village of Shimotsuki. New faces, new house, farmlands where once were forest, the village grew before Zoro even knew it. Still, it was the same old village he grow up. Same roads, same people running around, working the fields or practicing their craft, and same old Kuina challenging her old man without fail.
In the same old rolling field of grass and at the same time wh...

Summer turned to winter before giving way to spring. As the snow melted with the longer days, the land awakened, bringing new life into this world. Standing there by the coast, feeling the fresh ocean breeze as the sun rose up to greet the world, he couldn’t help but reminisce on times gone by.
