Is that… Fun?
With my forehead pressed to the glass of the window, I had a great view of the gas station we were rolling past. There was nothing special about, it except that we passed the California border a couple of miles back. I hadn’t known prices could even get that high. Thank the gods our van ran on something different.
Of course, that meant needing to generate another type of fuel… like I was doing right ...

A new Harry Potter story! I haven't forgotten Dark Days, I swear, but I have been running into some writer's block with how exactly I want to do that story. And then, last week, the idea for this one hit me. Frankly, I had so many ideas so fast that I felt like I had to start on it. It's a bit of a parody, so some jokes may land better if you're familiar with Harry Potter Fanfiction tropes, but you don't really need any extra knowledge to enjoy the ride!

Home Sweet Home
It was dark by the time Hinata approached the Hyuuga compound.
She had sat atop the Hokage monument for a while. Alone. Scared. She couldn’t put an exact word to her mood, except maybe…
Uncertain.
So it had taken her some time. Nobody ever accused Hinata Hyuuga of being brave. And now that the sun was down she had forced her body to move, eager to slip quietly into her room and buy more ti...
2024-10-18 04:59:44 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I'll be honest, I expect a few mixed feelings about off-screening a certain fight in this chapter. I felt like that was honestly the best way to flex Percy's power, but if people really want to see the fight itself despite knowing the final result, I could find a way to work it into the next chapter as a flashback.

Mother of Monsters
Canned applause bathed the room as we stood blinded, trying to blink our vision back.
The first thing I made out were empty seats. There were enough to fit hundreds of spectators rising toward the ceiling in rows. Aisles ran between them f...

Reunions
“You will never reach–”
Crunch.
The last of the Proioxis hit the wall, denting hard volcanic rock with his head. He slid to the floor trailing yellow blood to join the rest of his brothers.
“Now!” I said happily. “Let’s get going!”
Lelantos gazed around us at the well-equipped spirits of war decorating the ground. Shards of their armor and weapons lay scattered across them...

The Ambush
I woke up vibrating.
Considering nothing in Artemis's tent should've been bouncing (you know, except our hips) that immediately made me bolt upright.
“Hey, look,” Clarisse said. “Sleeping Beauty lives.”
We were back in our sixties-style ride. Clarisse was behind the wheel with Valentina riding shotgun. Annabeth and Lou were in the middle seats. That left me, Artemis and Emily all the way in the back....
2024-10-11 01:04:53 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Internet provider decided today was a good day to take the network down for intermittent maintenance. I could still write, but it did mean this chapter getting posted much later that planned. The game is the game I guess.

I'm planning to get 50 Shades of Gennin Chapter 6 done tomorrow, and after that I'll focus on this week's (landslide) poll winner, Curse of Lust. I might even double-update it two days in a row. However I do it, expect two chapter for that by Sunday.

To Know a Soul
“Made it!”
I looked back at Jason, bent forward with his hands on his knees. An overstuffed suitcase sat beside him. From how hard he was breathing and the way bits of clothing poked out of the suitcase’s edges, he had spent the last hour rushing to shove absolutely everything he needed inside.
Behind me my followers from Spokane were mostly loaded up on our twin chariots. Calypso was onboard herse...
2024-10-06 23:45:05 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: This story is nearly ready to start going up on public sights, so I'll probably put together the next chapter soon, so that I can push it out. In case you're wondering reading this chapter, Dog is Hana Inuzuka, Kiba's older sister. And Snake was Anko, but I feel like that one was more obvious.

I’m Coming Too!
Someone was watching me.
The feeling filled my head, jolting me wide awake. I lay there beside the pool with my eyes still closed. Chirping birds and chilly air told me the time was still early. Around dawn, probably.
“If you’...
2024-10-04 06:11:39 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Like I mentioned in the community chat, this chapter got delayed by rewrites. I decided to lean into the cuter side of things, instead of going all-in on playing up Artemis’s arrogant side. Hopefully those changes were worth it.

Plots and Playtime
A grandfather clock against the wall ticked at irregular intervals. I gripped the armrests on my straight-backed chair hard enough that the wood whined. The office Prometheus and I were in had a big desk between two chairs, each facing each other, with the blinds of the only window drawn. At that distance I could’ve lunged across and choked the smug bastard where he sat, and no one would’ve seen a thing that happe...
2024-09-27 06:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I’m traveling this week and won’t have time to write normally, so I’ve scheduled three chapters written in advance to go live on different days. This is the first of those. In other words, I may be a bit slow answering any messages or comments you may have, but I will get to them eventually. Next week will be back to normal in every way.

There were so many things that I wanted to ask Thalia. How she’d been these last three years. What she and Calypso went through while I was asleep. How she figured out she could fly of all things, and how it didn’t drive her fear of heights totally bonkers.
But now, driving our floating chariot while she flew next to it, none of that would come out of my mouth.
Large buildings slipped by und...
2024-09-20 18:35:28 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: More Curse of Lust and Pursuit of Power are on their way, I promise, but I do want to get this one far enough along that I can start releasing public chapters, so I wanted to get another update or two out in between my other stories.

Into the Woods
I was pretty sure I understood what it felt like to be roadkill now, which was pretty impressive considering I didn’t need to be struck by any vehicles to do it.
My back was plastered to the wooly cushions of our new ride’s backseat. My clothes were scattered across the floor. Despite having escaped the monster swarm over two hours ago, I hadn’t had a single chance to pull them on.
Instead, my nake...
2024-09-18 03:35:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey, all. A couple days ago I finally upgraded the old PC I’d been using for years to a much nicer, newer model. That’s a good thing, for me and for you, because it’ll only make writing even easier going forward.
Unfortunately, in the transition process, I lost a few of the documents that I hadn’t uploaded online yet… namely the nearly-complete next Curse of Lust and 50 Shades of Gennin chapters, hence the lack of uploads the last couple of days.
Both shoul...
2024-09-17 05:52:47 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: The original plan was to get a Curse of Lust chapter done today as well, but I ended up going and expanding my draft for this one, making it longer and more cinematic, which took most of the day. Curse's update will drop tomorrow.

But for right now I just got the finishing touches on this one, the other clear winner from the Story Interest Poll a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
Edit: I don’t think the epub is working right now, but the pdf is. I’ll try to fix it soon!
Edit edit: Seems like it's good now? Just possibly not working on IOS? If you have any issues, let me know, but it seems fine on windows as long as you have an app capable of displaying epub files.
2024-09-12 02:42:31 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Well, here it is, the last chapter. I'm going to be making one more post with a pdf of the whole story. Initially I was going to add it to this one, but considering three chapters have already been taken down by Patreon, I figure it's safer to do it separately. Mind you, there is zero incest in this chapter... but there was basically none in the others, and that didn't save them.

What was wrong with this one, I really don't understand, but at least that means they fit the utterly random precedent they've set.

Good Things Cum in Threes
When we moved from Cheney to Spokane, Calypso and I got a new bed. It wasn’t like we could still use our old one— all that was left of it was a mattress and a heap of splinters. So we raided an old mattress store, spruced up the neglected products with a few of Calypso’s spells, then picked the biggest one they had and brought it back for our room.
It was more than twice as wide as the one-person be...
