The room was so silent you could have heard a pin drop onto the thick, impossibly soft carpet that covered the floor.
My mother’s fingers dug into my shoulder hard enough to bruise, her perfectly manicured nails leaving four neat red gouges in my skin, blood welling up to stain the pristine white of my linen shirt.

Anet’s vice-like grip on Isi’s wrist and shoulder did not slacken in the slightest as she led the way to the blue dining room, forcing her to march in front of Anet or risk serious injury. Well, theoretically at least. I doubted Anet would actually hurt Isi all that much––the two had known each other for half their lives and had ...

My fight ended up being number twenty-three, the first among our year, which was about what I had expected. Fifteen pairs of first years fought before us, most of their matches just as one-sided as the one between Grahm and Eileen. Only two had been remotely fair, and one of those...
2024-10-04 00:29:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Welcome to the fourth chapter of my latest story. Should I have started a new story when I can't keep up with my current ones? Maybe not. Did I do so anyway? Absolutely.
This story is a commission from one of you guys, LordCampione, and I just liked the idea too much not to go for it. I've been mulling over writing something in the Fate or Campione...

2024-10-01 23:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostI settled back into my seat, ignoring the looks that Alan, Ulan, and Ayula were giving me. Miranda’s fingers brushed against the leg of my pants and she leaned in towards me slightly. I could feel a note of approval through our bond and relaxed slightly. I thought that had gone well enough, but it was good to have some confirmation.

2024-09-29 22:06:18 +0000 UTC View PostPatrolling didn’t quite go how I expected.
I’ve gone on my fair share of patrols over the years. Before the war got hot, that meant wandering around Camp or through the woods killing the occasional monster that got a bit too close for comfort. Later, that had turned into getting rid of the occasional small army that the Titans sent our way. Once Kronos was dead, it be...
2024-09-25 23:35:15 +0000 UTC View PostIts been a little bit, sorry again.
But, I was on vacation last week and wrote like 30k words worth of various stories. Not necessarily the next 30k words for all of those stories, but that's more progress than I've made in the last few months for them so I'll take it! Need to do a bit of trimming/consolidating/editing but keep an ey...

Eventually.
Instead of taking the bus, Vicky offered to drive us back to the neighborhood where both halves of New Wave lived. It would be both faster and easier than dealing with so many bags on public transportation and she was heading that way anyway.
Well, her initial suggestion was...
2024-08-28 02:47:48 +0000 UTC View PostI'm not really sure how I feel about this one. I've rewritten parts of it like two or three dozen times at this point, and I'm still not fully happy with it. But its something I do want to cover and I just can't justify spending more time on it. Its been like, more than a month since the last WWDtS update and I just can't keep dragging my feet on this.

2024-08-08 22:51:44 +0000 UTC View PostAnd we're back with another chapter of LiFS! Let's see if I can pull off another 4 chapter month after the long break. I really tried to get this one out yesterday for the typically Sunday release, but I just ran out of time and had to turn in for the night :(
Everything started well enough. Trying on clothes was kind of tedious, but I pretty quickly found...
2024-08-06 03:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Just wanted to put out a bit of a life/writing update for everyone. So you may have noticed that my update schedule has become even worse than usual in the past month and a half or so. This is because of some just fantastic IRL nonsense that has eaten all my time, forced me to do a lot of traveling, and so on.
That is all almost resolved at this point. I...
And here's the last of the chapters for...April. Welp. Its been a rough couple of months.
On the bright side, I think I have a new job! Which is good, because my previous job was the source of most of my problems for the past couple of months. But also kind of bad because it means I need to move, which is just another mountain of hassle.

2024-06-14 21:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm back. Its been a hot sec, sorry about that. Next chapter (hopefully) shouldn't take nearly as long. Bit of a slice of life chapter to get us back in the swing of things!
For the second time in as many nights, I woke up with a beautiful girl cradled in my arms. My nose was pressed into her messy blonde hair and she was spooned against me, her body a warm wei...

Even knowing she would be there, I still nearly jumped out of my skin when she just appeared in front of me as I entered the room. I managed not to glare at her as she ushered me into the room, but it was a real struggle.
Despite her placid facade, I w...
2024-05-24 21:39:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis really, really, really should have been up two weeks ago, but then I got covid and that just completely ruined my writing and IRL stuff schedule. I'm back to normal now, but it was a shitty start of the month and I just didn't have the energy for anything but the bare minimum of writing. Fingers crossed the next chapter will actually be up sooner than it was this time...

I’d been staring at it for well over half an hour now, but it was hard to see precise colors only by the light streaming through the small gap in the curtains.

After the last chapter, I realized that my plans for this story just weren't holding water and so I've spent the last like, month and a half, rewriting all my plot outlines!

Once again, its been a tiny bit longer than I would have liked, but not nearly as long as last time! Like before, for this story I'm going to be posting chapters as google doc links. Let me know if there is any issue with accessing it and enjoy the chapter!
And here's the 4th LiFS for the month! Its still March for 40 more minutes so I'm not even cutting it that close, right? Patreon's formating has been a bit wacky and inconsistent lately, so please let me know if this chapter ends up looking weird.
Despite wanting nothing more than to go curl up in bed and sleep for sixteen hours straight, I offered to help with th...
