A/N: There will be one more normal chapter after this one, and then, chapter 28 will be the finale. Like with Lesson in Love, it will probably be the length of 2-3 regular chapters, to make sure everything gets wrapped up properly and to lend a climactic feel.
I will be finishing a Dark Days chapter tonight too. Although when I say tonight, I mean before I go to b...

2024-11-24 05:34:29 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I've been super busy this week at work, and its made it difficult to find time to write, hence the rate of chapters. I'm off this weekend, though, both days, and I'm going to get Quest for 12 and Curse of Lust chapters out, along with another Dark Days update if I have time.

Smells Like Lavender
Rain poured from the sky, scouring the Burrow’s garden and running muddy channels along the sides of the driveway. Harry stood on the front step beside the Weasley's and Hermione, only Percy Weasley missing, as he had gone into work. It was almost the same scene Harry remembered from the past, only with a couple key ...

I used every ounce of my control over the ocean to put as much distance in between us and the scene of the battle as possible. We didn’t slow down until the moon was out and the stars were visible. Even then, we spent a while looking behind us before deciding it was safe to stop.

2024-11-13 10:31:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis is something a bit different, but its an idea I've been kicking around for the last week or so. I've noticed a lot of other authors run regular polls for different one-shots their audience wants to see as part of their Patreon, and it looks like a lot of fun. So I wanted to put it to a vote and see if that was something people would be interested in.

Between The Original Rock and Hard Place
A lot of people seem to think, on account of all the things I’ve faced in my fairly short life, that nothing scares me anymore. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Every duel with a Titan, every legendary monster faced and vengeful god escaped from, doesn’t make the fear go away. You jus...
2024-11-11 07:23:29 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Longest chapter of this story yet, and I think the second longest one I've written for any story. It took almost two full days, but its finally done. If you spot any typos feel free to point them out. I was a little bit fried when doing the final edits.

(Currently one chapter ahead for paid members)
A/N: Finally, finally, I'm giving this story the attention it deserves. The first chapter went up all the way back in early September, but it didn't do well in the polls for a long time and I dragged my feet with plotting it out properly. But it's here now, and will see more updates this coming week, getting it ready for public release. Enjoy!

What it Means to be Free
The ravine ended at a cave. That much I expected. What I didn’t count on was the smell.
It was like a mix between rotten eggs, dank mud, and dog poop. Clearly the Telekhines had used this tunnel for a while, and they weren’t potty-trained. The whole place was wet (with water, I hoped) and pitc...
