Christine Mathers adjusted her son Elijah on her hip, considering the offer she’d been given by the local branch of the Fallen. It was a very good offer, and it would allow her to gain both power and security while raising her baby boy. After being kicked out of the house when she got pregnant, both power and ...
2024-03-27 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t say a word as I was escorted from my cell block. Not even fourty, and on my way to the chair. Still didn’t see why it was such a big deal, the building had been a dilapidated piece of garbage. If a few drugged up hobos didn’t want to go up in smoke, they should have made better decisions.
Part of me, the part that had always been drawn to fire, felt annoyed that I was going...
2024-03-25 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHarley couldn’t understate how much she owed her ‘roommate’ for rescuing her and nursing her back to health after her ex threw her out a window. A neck brace, blood transfusions, arm and leg in a cast, and that was just what she remembered. But now? It was as if Harley had never been hurt at all. No neck brace, no crutches, no limp.
Her roomie had offered t...

I groaned as I pulled myself out of the small crater I’d made upon my landing. Even without looking around, I could tell that I was in a dimension that I hadn’t been in before. When you travel to multiple dimensions, you start to get a feel for them. It wasn’t my birth world, wasn’t that stupid as...
2024-03-20 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Are all ships reporting in?” I asked as I reclined on my Command Chair on the bridge of my flagship, Sleipnir. It was time for us to head to the Centauri System, and I had a lot of plans.
“All ships reporting in, Captain,” the main pilot reported after a moment.
Nodding, I gave the order, “Engage the Bifrost Drive.”

2024-03-18 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostQueen Cersei did not bother restraining the sneer at the surroundings. Two and a half weeks on the road, to Winterfell, and despite their station, her oaf of a husband had decided that they would camp by the woods off the Kingsroad. They could have easily stopped in a nearby town, or even a holdfast, but the man would insist on the royal family sleeping in tents and eating camp food.

Silver City, the city of the future, a beacon of technological advances, progress, and the human ability to adapt to any and all changes that came at it. The greatest superheroines in the world called it home, and mundane crime was seen as a thing of the past. That didn’t mean that crime didn’t happen, just that any and all crime in the city was done by villainesses.
Why did you speci...

Looking around as I pushed my speed, moving faster than the human eye could track out of the park I’d landed in, I pursed my lips in consideration as I examined the surrounding city. At a glance, I could tell that the blast hadn’t sent me back to Praetoria, the architecture didn’t have the iconic white and gold ...
2024-03-11 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe woman that I met was named Bethany, and she brought me to her home, where we ate and I answered her many questions. After several hours, I was finally given an opportunity to ask a question of my own.
"The First Men mages of the Age of Heroes could shapeshift?" I asked.
Bethany nodded and confirmed my belief, saying "Those mages could change into various beasts of the wild, thou...
2024-03-08 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThrud stood impassively as Dreki spoke to Captain Fa, a hand resting over her stomach. The fleet had set out from Sabaody a few scant hours before, and with the knowledge that later that evening she would be giving her ‘proper’ virginity to him, she was finding herself nostalgic and thinking back to when he’d found the reformed Shoku Shoku no Mi, the devil fruit that her father had wielde...
2024-03-06 14:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI looked at the dark skinned woman, finely dressed in clothes that almost certainly cost more than the average person made in six years, as she approached my throne. And it was a throne, despite what some would say. Being in the middle of the most advanced ship in the Sol System and lacking gaudy and elaborate jewels in it did not change the fact that it was a throne.

2024-03-04 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI growled under my breath, glancing out of the window to the safehouse I’d brought the American cape to. More than a dozen of the KGB’s own capes were out in force, searching for both me, and the American. I didn’t care for the ‘cape name’ bullshit that the American subscribed to, but even with that I thought All American was a stupid name.
Satisfied that the KGB wouldn’t be b...

“Abominations and revenants? Yeah, they pop up every now and then, s’why we still got a few o’ the Faith’s templar buggers around,” one of the enchanters grumbled, gesturing off to one of the Faith Militant that were on duty at the Harrenhal Circ...

It was the beginning of June, and Dudley and his ‘friends’ were of the opinion that they needed to catch up on all the fun of tormenting him before their holidays really got started. This particular morning had been the worst.
Still, he’d managed to outrun them, even if it meant runni...
2024-02-23 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostOn one of the balconies of Ouroboros, a group of six stared out at the multitude of ships exiting from storming, crackling portals. The six were only one group of many that were defending Ouroboros, the citadel at the end of time, but they were certainly some of the most powerful.
One of the six, an average sized man in ragged clothes with a manhole cover strapped to his arm, shuffled on ...

Her husband had not said why they were here, but she knew enough of politics to know that the Freys were now firmly allied with House Lannister. It was the price paid for killing her family, and her new husband was taking ...

I wasn't able to start buying up Light Augments willy nilly, since I didn't have much of the “currency” that was used.
Said currency, labeled GH, was displayed on the same screen as everything else, ...

2024-02-14 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostA bright, joyous smile lit up the newly named Diana's face, and she kissed me, her lips molding against mine. As we kissed, she rolled her hips, grinding against me. I moaned into the kiss, one hand cupping the back of her head, fingers tangling in her hair. The other rested on her hip, helping to guide her movements.
Diana started off slow, rolling her hips gently, her lips locked agains...

Garyx carried her up the stairs, and the sounds of fighting grew quieter and quieter, until it vanished completely, replaced by the sounds of running water. He took her into the large bedchamber and set her on her feet.
Stepping back, his hands went to the hem of his shirt, and Dany c...

Unfortunately, his mouth didn’t wait for his brain to finish processing what the vampire’s presence implied.

The man who was once known to others as Nestar shuddered, his knees pulled up close to his chest and his arms over his head as he did his best to block out the sounds coming from outside.

As it turned out, the lasagna was homemade and Annette Hebert was not above using bribery in order to get an answer from me. Even without her cooking, ...

I couldn’t get her body out of my head, the way her breasts had felt under my fingers, the softness of her skin. Fuck, I was already hard just remembering it.
Shoving that aside, I got out of bed and went through my morning routine. When I walked out the d...

I spared a glance towards Diana as the two of us joined a group of half a dozen others moving rubble out from a ruined building.

In all honesty I...
