“Nice little... closet you’ve got here,” I said. “Is this really all the space you have to work with?” I gestured at the room past the student who was looking between me and Nya, obviously not sure of what to do yet. I was mostly trying to get him to talk.
That was often a good way to get people to chill out; complaining about...

Her sisters had told her that she’d know when they entered the Endgame, but she didn’t expect to know it like this.
Between one step and the next, a screen flashed up before her.
Entering Endgame.
Two words over a small, semi-transparent blue-ish background. Emily was still trying to parse them when her sisters started to cheer. 2025-04-18 22:50:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Ivil quickly realized that the time for subtlety would eventually pass, and sooner than she might have wanted.
The Earth Alliance fleet entered that mid-range point where they could start taking direct shots at the Uranian fleet. The last of their torpedoes chose that time to start hard-accelerating as well.
It meant that th...

Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Six
Celiga took a moment to ‘be a better host’ as he put it. That meant puttering around in the kitchen and refusing any help. While he did that, I tried to do a bit of subtle cleaning. That mostly meant allowing my Cleaning magic to snake along the floor, scooping up and burning away the dust in the crevices of the floor and disappeari...

Interlude Lucy - School Days Part Three
Lucy woke up slowly and wonderfully. There was warmth to her left. Cat’s body was always warmer than her own, and so she made for a perfect space heater under the blankets, but there was also something cool wrapped around the top of Lucy’s head.

Teddy was having more fun than she’d had in... at least two days! She knew that the Endgame would be a ton of fun. It was supposed to be fun, after all, otherwise why would it be called an Endgame? But they hadn’t even arrived in the area of it yet and she was already having a blast.

The torpedoes came racing in, violence in technological form, burning the last of their fuel like a sprinter seeing the finish line and hurling themselves towards it.
The Uranian fleet was going to survive them. The first volley wasn’t so big to even take out the entire fleet, even if they didn’t put up any resistance. ...

They pulled up to a slow stop on the side of a rather quiet-looking road. “Is this it?” Grandpa Boss asked.

The first shot of the battle came some hours later.
One of the Earth Alliance ships, a vessel that from the outside seemed like a freighter as normal as any other, spun on its long side and pointed its belly towards the Uranian fleet. The three-dozen torpedoes it launched were detected by all.
