Derek: "Okay, so if anyone caught my review on the channel, you already know how much I loved Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That movie was just chef’s kiss."

BOOM.
The explosion tore through the side of the pyramid, sending chunks of stone and dust billowing into the darkening sky.
Max and En Sabah Nur sprinted from the smoke‑filled corridor, lit by flashes of green as Max’s ring surged with power.
“Great!” Nur shouted, coughing through the smoke. “Now we’ll be caught! I told you we should’ve us...

So I kinda spent all the free time I had today completing this.
Based this of a pic of Kyle and Thor I found.
"I'm sorry about it, Daniel," Jensen said over the phone, his voice slightly breathless.
"It's not a big deal, man," I replied.
The Dark Knight was set to release in less than a month, and Jensen along with the rest of the cast was in the thick of a worldwide press tour. Somewhere between Tokyo and Berlin, he had let something slip in an interview—something about there being a Bat...

“We can hold out for two more weeks,” Martyn Mallister said, his voice firm but weary. Around him, in his father’s solar that served as their war room, his family was gathered—his father, Lord Jasper, grizzled and fierce; his uncle, Maven, lean and sharp‑eyed; and a half‑dozen cousins, bannermen, and retainers crowding close around a map marked with Ironborn positions.
“Two ...

“My queen,” Willas said, catching up to her as she walked through the stone corridors of Highgarden. The sound of his boots echoed beside her lighter steps.
He held out a rolled scroll, sealed with dark wax.
“The Chantor’s confession,” he said quietly.
Daenerys took it without looking at him.
“Bring him outside,” she said, her voice cool. “Put him with th...

Max found himself standing before a cave.
Not just any place—this one was familiar in the worst way. The curve of its mouth, the jagged rocks above it, the shadow it cast. He had buried this place deep within his mind, sealed it shut long ago.
But it was here now. Again.
A whisper drifted from inside, faint at first.
“Coward…”
The voice slithered o...

“I’ve watched it,” I said into the phone, leaning back in my chair and rubbing my temple with two fingers. Maria Watney, the casting director for DC Studios, practically burst through the speaker. “Then you understand he’s perfect for the part.”
“I don’t know,” I replied, not entirely convinced. “Maybe.”
“Daniel, come on,” she pressed. “Damson is great. E...

Title: Worried for Storm of Swords Part 2
Well, since it’s confirmed that it’s coming this year thank you, Daniel Martin I just wanted to say I’m very worried.
The last book really did me in. So many named character deaths huge ones. Luwin? Gone. Jeor Mormont? Gone. And don’t even get me started on Ygritte; that one br...

Max watched the screen construct in front of him as it displayed the plaza outside Rama-Tut’s grand pyramid-palace. The feed from his drone hovered just above the crowd, showing throngs of men, women, and even children gathering. It was a spectacle—meant to intimidate, to inspire loyalty, or perhaps simply to prove that the pharaoh’s grip on his empire was absolute.
The execution wa...

This plotline I’ve been wanting to do ever since I watched a video about how Justin Bieber and his now-wife met.
It deals with the idea of problematic fans, especially since Daniel had a huge fanbase that was around his own age.
This will only be a side story, meant to give the side characters something to do in the background.
Oh, and that Sydney Sweeney scene from Euph...
“They are close,” the scout said, urgency in his voice.
Harald’s gaze sharpened. “And what of the other army?”
The scout shook his head. “We dared not go too far northeast—too much risk.”
Harald gave a curt nod and turned to the gathered lords, mounted and alert, their retainers waiting in tight, disciplined formations. “We’ll take the high ground,” he sa...

Dagon sat alone in his tent, the heavy flaps drawn shut, muffling the noise of the encamped host beyond. Fifteen thousand men waited for him, ready for war. Yet here, within the stillness of dark canvas, he heard only the whispers.
They came in hissing tongues, low and churning; they coiled through his skull—whispers from his god.
Dagon looked at his hands.
He had been chang...

Daniel Adler Makes History With Record-Breaking Oscar Wins
Hollywood witnessed history last night as 23-year-old writer-producer Daniel Adler shattered records and rewrote the rulebook on what’s possible for young filmmakers at the 87th Academy Awards. With wins in both screenwriting categories — Best Original Screenplay for The Incredibles and Best Adapted Screenplay...

Max looked at the four. He crossed his arms and pretended to squint in suspicion, acting as though he didn’t know who they were.
“So… who are you people?”
They exchanged a quick glance before Reed stepped forward.
“I’m Reed Richards,” he said. “This is Susan Storm.”
Susan gave a polite nod.
“Ben Grimm,” Reed continued, gesturing to the large, ...

Ned Stark stood at the head of the table in the Lord Commander’s chambers of Castle Black. The air in the chamber was frigid, their every breath clouding before their faces, the fire in the hearth doing little to chase away the creeping chill that had taken root within the very stones.
Around him sat a grim company—commanders of the Watch and the lords of the North. The long table gro...

The ceremony was over, yet the applause still rang in my ears as I slipped backstage. My phone was already vibrating in my jacket, and I knew exactly who it was.
I answered. Mom was laughing hysterically—half-crying, half-shouting—her voice crackling with joy.
“Oh my God, my baby! You did it! You won two! I’m so—”
In the background Nathan yelled, “You won two! Tw...

“We’re almost there,” Reed Richards said, his eyes focused ahead as the golden silhouettes of the Great Pyramids pierced the horizon. The sun hung low, casting long, majestic shadows across the desert.
The Fantasticar hummed steadily through the air. Reed sat at the helm, with Susan Storm beside him. Behind them, Ben Grimm lounged in his seat—arms crossed, unimpressed by the heat....

“Are you seriously saying this looks good?” I asked, frowning at the strange piece of cloth attached to the front of my suit.
It was half scarf, half sash—neither clearly defined—just hanging awkwardly off the lapel as if it couldn’t decide what it wanted to be.
“What is this even supposed to be?” I asked Caleb, who was diligently fastening the last few buttons on the ...

Max stood still as the golden-armored guards closed in around him. Their ornate spears—tipped with polished bronze and humming faintly with energy—were all trained on him. Each helm bearing the visage of a falcon.
Max raised his hands slowly. “This is a misunderstanding,” he said calmly. “I’m just a simple traveler.”
The guard who appeared to be the leader stepped forw...

Harald stood atop the black-stoned battlements of Weeping Hall. The sky was overcast—a low blanket of grey that smothered the sun and cast the world in a cold, steely hue. Below, the camp of the Army of Liberation stretched across the fields like a sea, its flickering campfires dotting the dawn like dying stars. Most of the men were quartered outside the castle, while the lords and their hous...

“Daniel, what you’re asking for is big. That kind of money—for a series?” Reed Hastings’ voice crackled through the phone as I walked briskly down the sidewalk toward the restaurant.
I stepped around a man walking his dog and replied calmly, “Reed, look—I know it seems like a gamble, but you also know how popular these books of mine have become. You’ve seen the numbers—h...

Maekar walked slowly through the broad archway that marked the entrance to the Fireguard headquarters—the order he had created, the order that had set him on the path to becoming king. The place had been transformed over the last three years. No longer merely a garrison or training ground, it had been repurposed into one of the largest public gathering spaces in King’s Land...

The Adler Hypothesis isn’t finished yet...I’m stuck on the ending, like I always am with these crossovers. I’m hoping to get it done this week, since I only started writing today after taking a break since Saturday.
More chapters, especially for The Son of Ice and Fire, coming this week.
Also, this chapter uses a new format I’ve been wanting to try for a while.

Max studied the three figures carefully, trying to make sense of who—or what—they were. The shield they had conjured bore the telltale circular mandalas of Earth’s sorcerers, glowing with the same orange light that Strange’s spells had. Max’s first thought was obvious: sorcerers. Like the Ancient One. Like Strange.
Wait…
His gaze settled on the man with Tibetan ...

Max sat quietly in the middle of the river, the soft gurgle of flowing water and the rustle of trees on the banks surrounding him. His small fishing boat, glowing faintly with green energy, rocked gently in the current—a construct he had made, sturdy but simple. In his hands, a matching fishing rod hummed with the same light, its hook and line every bit as functional as anything fashioned fro...

Julie Chen, Daniel Adler’s personal assistant, waited for her usual two coffees at the busy café across the street from the Midas offices. It was early, but not unusually so—Daniel liked starting his days around 9:00 when there wasn’t anything major going on, and Julie always made sure she had at least forty-five minutes at her desk beforehand. She’d been doing this for five years, eve...
