Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 15

Making Connections

He didn’t quite expect meeting the girl from the bar again but it was a pleasant surprise none the less; more so that she actually remembered him. “Peach Boy?” he asked, amused at the nickname given to him. That was certainly a new one.

“Hey, it’s not everyday that someone gives you a damn peach while you’re bar hopping,” She replied as she grabbed her meal.

“Oh yeah, that thing,” He replied, chuckling ruefully at the m...

A Mew Hope for Brockton Bay: Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Taylor felt like a deer caught in a headlight as she stood there frozen, her gaze locked with the man inside the car. She could see the flash of recognition in their eyes, the way their eyes widened for a moment before they hardened as they clenched the wheel of their vehicle. She wanted to run, she needed to run, yet her foot was rooted to the ground.

Just as things were about to turn for the worse, Mew turned tail and grabbed her. One moment she was st...

Chapter 3

She felt bad having to wake up the old store clerk but they were going to be there all day if she didn’t. “Mr. White, I’d like to buy these,“ She spoke out gently as she placed several bottles on the counter. It was nothing much, just a few bottles of culture growth media; things she needed to make more stems cells.

“You know, I can give you some of my blood to bypass having to make them from scratch,” Mews voice echoed out inside h...

The Prisons of Commorragh

Maybe getting himself imprisoned might have not been the brightest idea. He could have fled instead but then again, that would mean getting chased and he was tired of getting chased. He just wanted to rest so he gave himself up. Unfortunately, he didn’t account for his friends being placed in separate cells… or assigned to separate working area.

“Lonely Frog in the Webway~” He sang his working song as he swung his pick against the...

Adjusting price to Commissions and Tier Benefits next week

It's been a year, I think, since I introduced the new benefits and with the new year already rolling in, it's time to adjust the rates. There will be a 50% increase on the cost of commissions so there will be less words per month for the upcoming commissioners. This wouldn't affect those already enjoying the benefits as those would be grandfathered in.

If anyone wants to take advantage of the more favorable rates, it's probably a good time to do so now before next week rolls in.

A Mew Hope For Brockton Bay: Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Ever since Taylor’s mother died, meals had always been a morose affair. There was no longer any warmth in them as the event had merely become a matter of sustenance. This time however, things were a bit warmer.

For the first time since the incident, she found herself smiling and laughing as she and her father reminisce on times gone by. The pain of her mother’s passing would never fade but that doesn’t stop them from celebrating her life as this l...

A Mew Hope For Brockton Bay: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Taylor had never been a morning person. She just wanted to just lay down on the well worn indent in her mattress and just stray there. With her blanket wrapped around her like a warm hug, she wanted to tuck herself back in to sleep and just let the world fly by; It’s not like anything would change.

Still, the world would conspire to wake her up as her eyes opened up to see the water marked ceiling to her room. “Still here huh?” She whispered as a w...

Lunch Rush Carnitas

With the last bag of bagel sold, the morning rush finally ended. After shooing away the stragglers and closing down shop temporarily, he now had some breathing room. He still had the whole day ahead of him after all and he didn’t have Maine’s crew to help him this around around. Taking his well earned rest, he pondered on what he’ll be cooking up next.

As he was the cook, cashier and manager all wrapped in one package, he really didn’t ...

Feeling Sick

Brother got sick and it seems that I caught what ever he had as well. Been feeling terrible lately so I do apologize if there's a slow down on post. Headaches, stuffy nose, and terrible sneezing is not fun. 

I'm Not Your Sugar Daddy!: Prologue [ROB SI Multiversal Adventure]

Infinite Power, Teeny Tiny Space

Can space be both infinitely vast and infinitesimally tiny at the same time? Can something as vast as that of the universe be too small for something inside it? It seemed like a contradiction at first but in the context of infinity, it doesn’t seem all that weird.

As it turns out, there are different degrees of infinity. Something can be bigger than infinity, it just had to be a bigger kind of infinity. Unfortunately for myself, ...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 13

A Foxy Logo

As much as he felt uncomfortable having someone just give him an industrial stand mixer, he had to admit that was a god send. No longer did he have to toil kneading the dough for his baking needs, now he can have as much pasty as he wanted. He could now make giant batches of bagels and it it couldn’t come at a better time as the shift workers came out in droves.

“A dozen everything bagels and coffee!” A voice screamed out from the crowd he had ga...

Small Delay on January Poll 2024

Sorry for the short delay. Just needed to post something before I got it up and I got a bit to engrossed in writing. Before I knew it, it's kinda late so I'll set it up when its no longer quarter before 3 in the morning.  We'll still have the same 5 days of voting for this along with Sunday Snippets.

Sorry

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 12

My First Regular

The hardest part of making bread was kneading the dough. Handling small batches was easily but it gets tricky when handling dought that was five, ten kilos is weight. “God damn it, I should have started with smaller batches,” he breathed out as he wiped the sweat of his brow.

Looking down on the massive pile of dough, he wondered just how much bagel he was going to make. “I really should get myself a mixing machine if I’m going to keep b...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 11

Breakfast Bagels

He spent the rest of the day with Rebecca. It was just mindless fun, hanging out with her and watching movies together. With each other’s company, they had everything they needed to pass the time. Good food, entertainment and a shoulder to lean against. It was a nice change of pace but all things do come to an end.

The next day had to come around and they had to get back to their line of work. As much as they were part of night city, they stil...

A Warboss's Retirement Plan: Chapter 11

Tell Me Your Deepest Desire

From one circle of hell to another, Magsnik descended deeper inside the Realm of Slaanesh. Stepping away from the realm of Gluttony and through the hellish screams of the damned as he slipped in the in between, he soon found himself in the third circle; Seduction. He braced himself for what was to come, steeling his nerves but as soon as he stepped through, he found his breath taken away. There before him was paradise.

Lush forest of fl...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 10

The Day After

The day after was… quite. He woke up as Rebecca shifted, holding him closer as the cold breeze of the airconditioning washed over them. He was no stranger to waking up to the twilight sky as he was a light sleeper but it was his first time waking up with someone in his arms. It was strange yet comforting, to feel someones else warmth against himself.

For a moment, he closed his eyes, wondering if he should just stay there and return back to sleep b...

Lilliputian City

Wincing in pain, he stood up and looked around. There before him was a city on fire. The spikes he saw from above turned out not to be mere deadly implements of impalement but actual buildings, buildings that his surprisingly tough body had crushed.

For the first time ever since he  arrived in this galaxy, he found a civilization. Unfortunately, it’s people were no bigger than pinpricks in his eyes and he just so happened to do the metaphor...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 9

Drunken Promises

Charter Hill, the neighborhood containing the majority of the Middle Class of Night City and his home for the last few years. Turns out, selling high quality fruit to shady but trustworthy fences and brokers can net someone a lot of money; enough that he got himself an apartment in this part of town. It was nice, quite, and most importantly, people just mind their business; An unspoken rule which he was thankful for with how loud Rebecca got.

One Sore Neck

Have you ever woken up with a sore neck? It’s an awful feeling, one that can ruin someones day. No matter what caused it, be it from sleeping wrong or just some random quirk of the body, it’s always that damn stiffness and soreness that takes ages to go away. Waking up with a sore neck that was just killing me, I expected a really shitty day up ahead. What I did not expect was the water the filled my lungs on top of the pain.

Finding my head bene...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 8

Crazy Cabs in Night City

Rebecca was drunk and so was he so it was time for them to go. She was already making quite the commotion and he didn’t want things to escalate any further. Thankfully, she became much sedated once he dragged her out of the bar, enough that he could let her go. Unfortunately, she decided to cling to him was the best course of action.

“Stupid out of towner,” Rebecca muttered as she glared back at the bar. She was still rearing for a ...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 7

Go Home, Your Drunk.

Rebecca kept her word, that was indeed just the appetizer. Not only did she down the rest of the bottle but several cans of beer and a few shots of whisky to top it all off. With all the drinks flowing to their table, he might have gotten swept along the way. He told himself he was getting just one drink but the girl was persistent and he wasn’t one to ruin good mood so now he was drunk. Though compared to Rebecca however, he might as well be sobe...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 6

The Dance Floor of Love and Life

He really wasn’t the type to go out and it showed as Rebecca dragged him inside Lizzie’s Bar. He was like a fish out of water in the vibrant neon teal and pink dance floor but he had Rebecca with him so it wasn’t that bad. It was a bit awkward for him but with his partners encouraging laugh and cheers, he just let himself go with the flow. He danced the best he could, laughing with Rebecca as the girl teased and prodded him there u...

December Polls 2023

Welcome to the December 2023 Poll! Once again,  we come back to the time of the month where you decide on which fics gets to be updated.

Last month was Absolution and Seoul Kitchen and I have to say that it was a pretty okay month. I do have to admit that I love how short and sweet Seoul Kitchen and I'm going to unashamedly say I want to keep writing it to see where it goes :V.

Aside from a few hiccups, things go well though I didn't get to make polls for the Snippets. I do a...

Shovels and Shotgun: Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Everything was on fire and it was all Charles’ fault. It wasn’t her fault that she had to shoot the cans of promethium that set a group of cultists ablaze nor was it her fault that she had to keep grabbing the molotov’s laying around to set everyone ablaze, that was Charles doing. After all, He was the one that charged down their perfectly safe ledge without hearing out the plan they were trying to make to avoid this exact same situation.

And so ...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 5

Trust is a Rare Commodity

It was a successful day by all measures with all the food he sold but all things would come to an end as his day came to a close. He had been working for close to 10 hours and that was enough for him and so too for his temporary employees. He was looking to feed a lot of people but that doesn’t mean he’d neglect himself. He had done what he could, now it was time to close.

It took a bit to get the crowd to disperse but eventually, th...

Lunch Rush

As soon as Kiwi posted that sign up, the proverbial floodgate was opened. Customers flooded in and they did not stop coming. A huge line was forming and things were coming to a boiling point as customers as they jostled to get a slice. They wanted their one eddie pizza slice despite the harsh heat and nothing was going to stop them. It wasn’t even noon yet!

“Shit,” he breathed out, exhausted from kneading so much dough and there were still so many...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 3

The Problem of Charity

Despite his best efforts, he would have no other customer aside from Rebecca that day. He had to close up shop without serving another customer. It was disheartening going back to his apartment that day but at least he had someone instead of no one at all. Still, he needed to change that. How could he get people to eat in his shop?

Well, what’s a better way to catch people's attention than a sign? Grabbing himself a half broken display in...
