    Summary

    In 1995, you befriended Sarah Connor in Pescadero State Hospital; after her own escape, months later, she made good on her vow to break you out, and you began a life on the run and off the grid with her, her son John, and a very large and very handsome man who you quickly realized was not a man at all, not that it mattered to your heart. This is a collection of moments, scenes, and situations from that life and with that man.
    Please see my other work, T.Too, for more moments and plots — less pinpointed by time and place, though still of the anachronistic and romantic nature — like those within.

    Summary

    A year, not so long is it? Yet a year can stretch and stride long and far. One year's time, one year's stories.

    THE DISTANT YEAR follows our companions from CHASING THE UNICORN in the year of time given them. Three stories, three tales of a year passed in struggle, triumph, sorrow and pain as they stride their own roads individually, apart but never truly alone.

    Join Lidia and Gram, as they seek the deepest reaches of the Black Forest of Darrowmere in search of the changeling's elusive mother, and reckoning with Gram's own noble heritige. Follow Nazir on his adventures through Reikstand and the boiling tensions within and the eye of a not-so-fair maiden militant, and lastly but far from least, join Naima and Rashid as they journey home to find not all as they left it.

    There will always be more stories.

    (This is an experimental work-in-progress, expect frequent updates and rewrites)

    Summary

    A Ghost Engagement is the prelude to a Ghost Marriage, but Yuu doesn't really have time to think about that, what with classes and Overblots and trying to get home. Their ghost fiancé is thankfully, suprisingly unconcerned about spectral nuptuals for a Ghost Groom, and Yuu will take what wins they can get.

    This would probably be less confusing for all parties involved if either knew the other, or if the groom knew who he was.

    Or: The various affairs of NRC's first magicless student and NRC's oldest lingering spirit, because they are Ghost Engaged. Apparently.

    Summary

    In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. Instead, there was Mickey: the son of a warlord trying to put a violent past behind him. And he just got stuck with an impulsive redhead who can't seem to keep himself out of danger.

    Summary

    Wednesday climbed the stairs to the studio with a frown and little enthusiasm for what was to come. Weems had invited the band with the owner of the mysterious red notebook and had called Wednesday to come and meet them.
    "This is Wednesday Addams, our best lyricist", Weems said with a smile to the motley crew in her office.
    "Who's responsible for this?", she asked.
    Wednesday didn't know what to expect. She'd barely glanced through that notebook, but the writing was remarkably raw and profound, expressing complex feelings, the pain of a complicated life, but also the hope and imagery of a rich and valuable inner world.
    So she didn't know what to expect from the person who had written that.
    "Um, me, that's mine," a blonde girl with pink highlights and every color of the rainbow on her quickly raised her hand, though her voice wavered with timidity. “I’m Enid, nice to meet you”.

    aka

    Band AU where Wednesday is a ghostwriter for Nevermore Records and is assigned to work with Enid to write lyrics for her breakout band.

    or

    Wednesday is very good at writing feelings, not feeling them. Enid is very good at feeling feelings, not writing them. They have to work together, shenanigans ensue

    Summary

    On a dark night, a SandWing goddess visits a tavern in the middle of nowhere, where world-weary dragons gather to drink away their misery. She’s got a story for them: an old tale about a friend of hers, a young drake who saw the way the world could be. And maybe he can show it to them too.

    It’s an old song. It’s a love song. It’s a tragedy. And the time has come to sing it again.

    Summary

    After his mother’s death, Alexander finds himself in the care of two strangers who do not belong to the world he knows. Drawn by curiosity as much as necessity, he begins to observe them — and, in doing so, learns what it means to choose one own’s life, and what it costs to keep it.

    Summary

    In the time between his near-death and your rebirth (that is, escaping Pescadero), the T-800, then called (Uncle) Bob, along with his only family — John and Sarah Connor — left Los Angeles for new horizons. In the span of five meager months, no longer just a learning computer, he learned, developed, and nurtured personality, humanity, and morality. This work is an anthology: mostly a written collection of insights into those aforementioned moments and many others — but also scrapbook-esque, important ephemera.
    Anachronistic and time-skipping, but limited to the aforementioned five months — June to December 1995 — and still simple to follow and/or assume temporal settings of, as specific times and dates don't matter overall and often self-referential.

    Summary

    Seti and the Egyptians discover Zhang Rang, magician and Cat Enthusiast leader, performing in Qibao. Seti finds out early that the Cat Enthusiasts are very "un-zodiacal." He tries to convince the other people that they have been under the angry Zhang Rang's brainwashing, but they have forsaken their friends and families. Teaming up with Liu Bei, Seti and Hector call upon all the Super Guandong Lords to destroy the corrupt eunuch-inspired magician and thwart the discriminatory anti-zodiac protest he has launched.

    This is a prequel to Total War XXV.

    Summary

    He’s a runaway alchemist with a talent for trouble. She’s a sword-swinging snakewoman with no time for nonsense. Naturally, they decide to steal a ship together.

    Paracelsus is on the run from a failed revolution, a rigged court-martial, and most of his responsibilities. Serpacinno is the last of her people, and she’s had it up to here with dramatic men and cursed swords. After a chance encounter and a few questionable decisions, the two form a reluctant alliance in search of Kósmeidí, a mythical blade scattered across the six great rings of the world.

    Sailing a stolen ship with a crew of outcasts, they’ll dodge marines, con casinos, battle airborne lawmen, and maybe - maybe - start to trust each other. Or stab each other. It’s a toss-up.

    Ring World is a high-magic, high-chaos fantasy adventure about found family, legendary treasure, and the fine art of barely scraping by. Come aboard - just don't ask who's actually in charge.

    Summary

    As history progresses and recreates the wheel a hundred times over, souls both innocent and bloodied alike are ground underneath that wheel. The four horsemen rampage across countries worlds away, leaving some with only their feet able to carry them away from the carnage. War claims lives, but also displaces them, leaves wandering spirits forever searching for a land that they have forever lost. What is a dog without a kennel, sent across the steppe to find something new for itself and its fellow blood?

    This is the story of a killer who found himself amidst healers, who sought to reattach what had been severed, and save a home that was not his own in the process.

     

    In which a new actor from a different company joins a play that he has no right nor reason to be in.

    Summary

    Once a human soul descends into Hell, it loses the ability to reproduce; this is an immutable fact, and one Lilith and Lucifer are painfully familiar with. She may be the queen of Hell, but Lilith is still a Sinner and is subject to all of the same limitations as her many subjects that share her human origin. Luckily, her love is a fallen seraphim, giving them more options than most; however, even Lucifer has his limitations, and despite trying for several years, the couple has yet to have any children. Growing tired of their repeated failures, Lilith has resigned herself to never becoming a mother, but Lucifer is determined to make her dream a reality, no matter the cost to himself.

    Summary

    But Michael knew that the flesh of women wasn’t what Gabriel hungered for.
    Not that there should be any lusting or coveting whatsoever - these men had each promised their lives to God, to remain as pure and untouched as the day they were pulled screaming and bloody from the bodies of their wailing mothers, to never participate in the bodily trappings of their more worldly companions.
    Michael had taken his vows and remained true to them for the better part of his fifty years of living, never once being tempted by the softness of a woman’s bosom as she passed them in the street on the way to church. He’d never considered the carnal pleasures others partook in to be part of the fabric of his world, but ever since Gabriel appeared with his devilish grins and hungry eyes, those threads were unravelling at the seams.
    He’d prayed to God for guidance, to see if this was a most cruel and unusual test of his faith and dedication. He’d questioned whether Gabriel was an agent of the Enemy, sent here in sheep’s clothing to undo their meticulously-crafted lifestyle of righteousness and purity and turn their little monastery into a den of Sin and depravity.
    After all, the Devil could quote scripture as well as any Angel.

    Summary

    ‘Thank God Bucky’s with you.’
    And didn’t even sound like she was being funny about it. If anything she looked wholly relieved at the prospect.
    ‘Oh, yeah, thank God I have my fatally annoying
    lodger with me.’
    ‘Lodger,’ Sarah repeated flatly after a beat. ‘Right.’

    Sam ‘The Falcon’ Wilson makes an ill-advised bet, goes around the world, nearly loses everything and discovers that what he wanted most has been right alongside him the whole time.

    Or: It’s Around the World in 80 Days but make it Sam/Bucky.
