This chapter happens over the course of four months.
Also this was a lot longer with some more stuff but removed it I plan to do another Margot POV later.

“Oh my god, that sounds terrifying,” Julie said, eyes wide as she looked at Margot.
Margot exhaled shakily, running her hand through her hair. “I didn’t expec...

The council chamber was quiet save for the crackling of the fire. Maekar sat at the head of the long table, its dark wood gleaming in the firelight. Viserys walked in and sat to his right.
“I know where the sword is,” Maekar said.
Viserys leaned forward. “Finally. Now we can go get it and win this war.” He paused, his tone more cautious now. “It will do what you claim, yes...

The gang was gathered in Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment around the coffee table, takeout boxes already spread across its surface.
Bernadette lifted her water glass. “Before we eat a toast. To Penny, for her successful start as a voice actor.”
“Hear, hear!” Raj chimed, clinking his glass.
Everyone followed suit, and then they all began opening cartons of Chinese take...

“No, no, no, no,” Leonard heard Sheldon say as he walked out of his bedroom into the living room.
What’s going on? Leonard thought, blinking at the sight of Sheldon hunched at his desk, glaring at his laptop and shaking his head furiously.
“Sheldon, what is it?” Leonard finally asked aloud.
Sheldon turned sharply in his chair. “Have you seen this?”
A continuous stream of emerald plasma blazed from Max’s construct, hammering the red-skinned giant into the forest floor. The jungle sizzled beneath the blast; the earth under the behemoth cracked and gave way. Max hovered above, eyes narrowed, his right arm transformed into a massive plasma-gun construct still glowing hot with residual discharge.
He gritted his teeth, forcing the energ...

Max guided the emerald car construct smoothly across the skies above the tranquil, endless blue of the Indian Ocean. Sunlight glittered across the rolling waves below, the scene serene and undisturbed at least on the outside. Inside the glowing vehicle, peace was harder to come by.
“…and that,” Odin finished with a huff of finality, “is why I was weaker. My father stripped a porti...

“I don’t believe it…no, it’s too fantastical,” Maria Estermont said, pacing the length of the chamber, skirts swishing about her ankles.
Argella leaned back in her chair, watching her friend with the same mild patience she always reserved for Maria’s fits of disbelief. Of their little circle, Maria was the skeptic, the one who needed e...

To all Kings and Lords of the Seven Kingdoms, let this be heard across all realms of Westeros,
Let it be known: Harren Hoare and his Ironborn are shattered and defeated, and their reign over the Riverlands is at an end.
From this day forth, the Riverlands shall be known as the Heartlands, the true heart of the Seven Kingdoms, where the Old Gods and the Seven have ra...

This is only half the chapter; I’ll post the rest with 238.
Chapter 238 will be a big one. I’m planning lots of reactions and worldbuilding I’ve been putting off, plus a few other things. Been scouring my notes for two days.
Also, it’s been a slow week because I've been very tired due to not being to eat much due to the stomach bug i...

Max studied the schematics on the glowing green screen before him, his eyes narrowing in focus. His enhanced mind was one of the many things he appreciated about the enhanced body he had awakened to in this universe. His mind had become something greater, ideas came faster, solutions clearer.
He had always been intelligent. His mother, a scientist by profession, had urged him toward a mor...

Fan Fei sat beneath a tree, its wide branches swaying gently in the morning breeze. The rising sun cast golden rays through the leaves. She had not moved in hours. Her body was still and upright, legs folded in deep lotus, hands resting lightly on her knees.
Her breathing was shallow and calm. With each inhale and exhale, she felt her chi flow clean, precise, and balanced. Her meridians w...

Three months had passed since the Weinstein exposé dropped, and nothing had been the same. In my previous life, it was just background noise, another news headline flashing across a screen while I worked through a soul-crushing desk job, trying not to get fired.
But now, thirteen years into redoing my life from the ground up and becoming one of the biggest producers and power players in ...

Harald placed the old Dwemer artifact he had recovered during his travels through the many Dwemer ruins in Skyrim right in the center of Harrenhal’s vast throne room. Only Jonnel Blackwood and the young heirs of Houses Mandrake, Roote, Wayn, and Piper stood with him. They circled the room, curiously awed by its immensity.
“What is it?” Jonnel asked, looking at the object Harald had ...

“Quickly!” Agamotto barked, his voice sharp as another swarm of snarling, armored demons surged toward them. He thrust out his hands, and bolts of golden magic tore through their ranks, blasting apart bodies that dissolved into ash mid-scream.
The portal, glowing like a tear of sunlight in the suffocating gloom, was close now. They could see it. Freedom was only steps away.

“I’m not really worried,” I said to John as I settled into the plush theater seat. The room was packed with fans, YouTubers, and other social-media personalities from the comic-book fandom. The Flash was still two days away from its official release, and as had become tradition we were hosting a special early screening.
Along with John Matt, Matt’s new girlfriend, Jessica; and my ...

“Jules, how are things?” I asked as I crossed the studio lot. Stardust owned the lot, and the final stretch of principal photography for The Thing was underway.
The movie had begun shooting back in April. A large chunk of scenes had been filmed both on the sound stages and in the icy outskirts of British Columbia; by the end of June we were down to the last few crucial sequences which...

“Damn,” Max muttered, his eyes scanning the chaos. From their high ground overlooking Thebes, the once-glorious capital of Rama-Tut’s empire looked more like a war zone. Fires burned in at least four places; thick smoke filled parts of the city. Screams echoed from every corner, men shouting in panic, women crying for help.
The city was unraveling.
Thebes had begun to devour i...

Max flew over the island of Lanka as the sun began to rise. The ruins below stretched far across the jungle-draped land, a massive ancient city in crumbling splendor. A large palace loomed at its heart, its towers worn by time yet still standing proud. Its architecture was strange to Max unlike anything he knew as an archaeologist.
Maybe this is… ahh...what’s-his-name, Max th...

As soon as the Marvel showcase wrapped, my phone started ringing in my pocket. The caller ID lit up: Scarlett.
I picked it up immediately. “HA…look who’s got herself a Black Widow movie,” she said, practically beaming through the line.
“I can’t believe you kept this from me,” I said, laughing.
Scarlett just laughed harder.
“I’m happy for you,” I said....

“Chris, I don’t know why you keep asking if we’re changing dates again,” I said, rubbing my temple with two fingers as I leaned back on the couch in my hotel room. The phone was warm against my ear.
On the other end, Chris spoke. “Daniel…”
I cut him off. “Nothing went wrong with changing Green Lantern and Justice League’s dates. Even the toy companies didn’t care...

Harren Hoare, King of the Rivers and the Isles, sat slumped on his massive throne of leviathan bone, the weight of doom pressing down on his hulking shoulders. The Hall of a Thousand Hearths was cold and empty. Beside him stood only a handful: First Captain Balon Goodbrother; two Ironborn lords—Farwynd of Lonely Light and Blacktyde of Old Wyk and a quiet priest of the Drowned God, his eyes su...

Max hadn’t expected the campaign to reclaim Wakanda to drag on this long. Rama‑Tut’s forces had gone to ground, employing the same guerrilla tactics the Wakandans themselves had been using. Worse still, they were hiding behind cloaking tech much like Rama‑Tut’s own.
That, at least, turned out to be a mixed blessing. Working with Jade, Max was able to study the captured gear; Ja...
Max soared over the battlefield. Smoke and fire clawed their way through the jungle canopy, rising into the night sky. Explosions thundered in the distance.
“Jade, what’s happening down there?” he asked, narrowing his eyes against the haze.
“Scanning… One of the Kheru‑Sekhem is present—a pyrokinetic. She’s leading Tut’s forces and actively burning through the jungl...

Ellie sat curled into the corner of the couch, arms crossed, fingers drumming an impatient rhythm against her thigh. Her eyes flicked between the TV screen and the front door, as though she could summon the sound of a delivery knock by sheer will.
It was nearly noon.
The package was late.
Today was release day for A Storm of Swords: Part II, and Ellie had pre‑order...

Ellie stepped into the living room, her sneakers squeaking softly on the hardwood floor. Sunlight filtered through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the sofa and the stacks of books on the coffee table. The apartment always smelled faintly of coffee and lavender—her roommate and best friend Jacinda’s doing.
Today was the day.
They were heading down to L.A. for the LA...

“Take care of the wounded,” Azzuri commanded, his voice steady despite the fury swirling within him. His eyes scanned the clearing, where warriors lay battered and burned, many with their skin blistered by unnatural flames.
The attack had come swiftly and with unrelenting force; the enemy was growing more ruthless and desperate.
“My prince! My prince!” a voice rang out.

En Sabah Nur stood silently, arms folded, watching the Green Lantern stare into the emerald glow hovering before him. Within it flickered images of icy plains visions conjured by the ring’s arcane power. It was the frozen land they had visited not too long ago in search of the Lantern’s friend.
The Lantern spoke aloud, though no one else could hear the voice that answered him.

Here is the first part of Chapter 20. I’m working on the ending and will post that, along with Chapter 21, as soon as it's done. Had to do a lot of rewrites.
Edit: I have turned the second part of this into chapter 21
Got some IRL stuff to deal with, so I’ll be updating all stories planned for this week during the weekend.

Scarlett Johansson sat in her chair, costume half on, phone pressed to her ear. Around her, the set buzzed with rehearsal chatter and lighting crew adjusting gear for the night shoot ahead. The tower‑party scene was coming up, and nearly the entire Avengers cast was already on set.
