41: Dragonborn Conqueror, Harald v Old Gods
As soon as Harald’s hand pressed against the weirwood, his senses were pulled away. He no longer stood upon the Isle of Faces but within a vast forest where only white-barked weirwoods stretched as far as the eye could see. Their blood-red leaves moved without wind, and the sky above mirrored that...

246: Redoing My Life, Location Scouting
“Oof…cold,” I said as I got out of the car into the autumn chill of Kiosk, Ontario. The bite of the air hit my skin immediately, and as I exhaled, a fog of breath rose up and vanished into the gray.“Have I mentioned I hate the cold?” I muttered, tugging my jacket tighter as I turned to Jul...

38: Marvel's Green Lantern, Avengers Assemble pt.3
Max groaned, pain still rippling through him as he lay in the snow. All around, emerald shards rained down from the shattered shield he had raised over the valley to protect it from the blast. The valley, thankfully, was intact, and when he turned his head he saw the Far Peaks in the distance once c...

“Make the helm more winged…like my father’s,” Odin said as he stood in front of Max, armored head to toe in will-forged constructs. It no longer bore the emerald hue; Max had changed it to Odin’s liking. He had recently figured it out, though it wasn’t perfect a faint green glow still li...
242: Redoing my Life, Fire and Blood
There were a lot of changes in this world, not just in entertainment, which had helped me rise to where I was, but also in history itself. Little ripples made an impact, some for the bad and some for the good.The first major change I noticed was with JFK. He was assassinated, yes, but not in Dallas....

35: Marvel's Green Lantern, The Exiles
Zeydra Dervek stared hard at the flickering holo-screen before her.

241: Redoing my Life, Ambitious Gaming
I leaned over the table, tapping the concept art again. “Yeah, I like this better,” I said. The concept art of Hal Jordan’s suit on Chris Pine stared back at me: one looked like the suit from the disastrous Ryan Reynolds movie from my old world; the other had no glowing veins of energy, no pla...
34: Marvel's Green Lantern, Some Assembly Required pt.2
Max’s first thought as he stared at the figure before him was simple and impossible to ignore: Why is Jean Grey here?The woman standing amidst the fading fire was unmistakably bonded to the Phoenix Force.

Peace In Our Time, Ultron SI
I wrote this about a year ago when I had some writer’s block while writing Redoing my Life. I even posted a couple of chapters on my alt account on Webnovel. Since then, it’s just been sitting around and completely forgot about it until yesterday. Not really my best work but it was fun to write....

Mephisto sat slouched upon his throne, the jagged stone and twisted steel of his infernal seat echoing the foul weight of his mood.
