Author's Note: March (2024)
Hey Everybody!I'm afraid I only have one chapter for you guys this month. It took a bit, but I managed to get the next chapter for 'A Hero's Blessing' written out. Per usual, I'll post it here now, and next month I'll post it on Fanfiction and Archive. This one was, unfortuna...
A Hero's Blessing: Part 6
Herakles POVThe gods, Herakles ruminated to himself, were a great many things.Powerful - that was as obvious as it was an understatement. The gods could not be ranked in comparison to humans - the scale was completely different. Even the weakest god was insanely strong by mortal standards.Knowledgea...
Mini-Author’s Note
Hey everybody - So, I had said I wanted to get the next chapter of ‘A Hero’s Blessing’ out by this weekend, but due to life and various other problems I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. However, it should be ready for my regular monthly update at the end of February. I apologize for ge...

A Classic Battle
I’m honestly a bit surprised to be writing this. I’m not really a fan of time travel/alternate reality shenanigans. And I don’t really like Loki. But even so, this particular scene with Classic!Loki hit me. And I wanted to write a bit of a different outcome to it.In the end, I wanted to write ...

My Demonic Academia: Chapter 2 [not yet finished]
“Oi! Deku!”Izuku tripped at the shove and subsequent laughter of Bakugou’s minions. Out of the corner of his eye he could see a couple people look at him with sympathy, but nobody wanted to get Bakugou’s attention.Izuku didn’t blame them. It wasn’t a great position to be in.“What’s g...
The Man Who Won't Die Meets Death: Chapter 3
Years passed. Hela continued in the duties of her domain, along with her continued observation of the runes. Thus far, nobody seemed to be aware that her prison walls were slowly but surely crumbling.Everything continued to go according to plan.Save for one.Hela leaned back against the wall and mass...
The Man Who Won't Die Meets Death: Chapter 2
Visiting Steve in his dreams swiftly became one of her favorite things to do.Once became twice, which swiftly became a dozen, only to lose count as she was visiting him whenever she had the time.It was embarrassing, but the simple truth was that interacting with Steve, even via dreams, was the first...
The Man Who Won't Die Meets Death: Chapter 1
This is a new story idea that I had based on the Avengers. It'll feature Hela from Thor: Ragnorak meeting Captain America and visiting him while he's in the ice.I will be using a mixture of lore for this story. Primarily using MCU, while expanding on Asgardian lore using random stuff from th...
A Hero's Blessing: Chapter 5
“Lower thine right hand, and raise thine right hand.”“That feels unnatural though?”“Only for now. Thou shalt get used to it with practice.”Zoe watched as Bianca adjusted her position before giving an approving nod. “There. That is sufficient.”The blessing of Artemis helped one with a...

Victim's of Fate - Making a Zanpakuto
Quick Author's Note: This is a future section for Victim's of Fate. People have commented to me that Shirou can't make Zanpakuto for Rukia and the others, since Zanpakuto are created from asauchi which were made by Nimaiya. And... Technically they are correct (Also, it took me a bit to f...
Pinnacle
I've been experimenting with AI created images. This is about close as I got to what I imagine Pinnacle to be - a Steampunk version of Hatsume Mei.
Revelry
I've been experimenting with AI created images. These are as close as I got to what I imagine Revelry to be. This one was particularly hard for the AI to figure out... Not that happy with them. AI was having a bit of a hard time with the horse I guess...
Crimson Scale
I've been experimenting with AI created images. This is as close as I got to what I imagine Crimson Scale, from 'My Miraculous Academia'. The main thing I imagined of him was the spikiness of his scales, which would damage the Nomu as it punched him.
Effecting Fate 2 Future Scenes: The Knight of Betrayals Return
A series of future scenes for Mass Effect 2 revolving around Mordred. Her introduction and her insertion into the story. Predominantly from the perspectives of EDI and Mordred.The Illusive Man is unable to find either of the Commander’s bodies. Going with a backup plan of a clone, he starts Projec...
Effecting Fate Future Scenes: Benezia's Chance
Author’s Note: This is a series of planned scenes that have Benezia in them through Mass Effect 1. Shirou will only be using his Tracing ability twice in the first game - I’m aware that my explanation for how magecraft works is wrong… You wouldn’t believe how many people informed me of that ...
Effecting Fate: Chapter 8
Author's Note: I'm a day late on this, and I apologize! But here it is, the full chapter. This has not gone through my beta-readers yet, and as I mentioned during the monthly author's note, I kinda had to brute force my way through my writers block. Looking back on it, I feel it needs a ...

A Hero's Blessing - Hebe's Intervention
This will be after the events of Hephaestus’ Junkyard. The fight and the resulting tumble through the trash leaves some of the questers banged up, and they don't have a car. They find a house, in which a disguised Hebe welcomes them and offers to help patch them up.She was Hebe. The daughter o...
Effecting Fate: Was I successful?
I wrote this because I found it depressing at how so many people wrote Shirou. That by the time he dies, he’s just Archer. Depressed and jaded, believing he’s wasted his life. I dislike that view, and it’s absolutely not the only path. I plan on putting this somewhere in Effecting Fate. Or, a ...
Author’s Note: September (2023)
Hey everybody.I have several things to share this month. First, Effecting Fate. Never before have I experienced this level of writers block… And it’s so frustrating! I can write several pages of something completely random at the drop of a hat, yet when it comes to something I really want to wri...
Effecting Fate part 8 [Incomplete]
Author's Note: I know this is a lot shorter than what I'd like... And to be clear, it's unfinished. There's still a lot more that needs to be written here. But I said that I would post what I have, and I shall. It's been a long time since I worked on one of my Shirou/Arturia stor...
My Miraculous Academia part 8 [Incomplete]
Author's Note: To be clear, this is unfinished. As such, there's probably a lot of scenes that need polish, and I do apologize for that. I've left notes where there are gaps, explaining what I intend to put in, so hopefully it won't be too jarring. Even though It's incomplete, I ...

Can't take my family from me - Residend Evil Plot Bunny
Ethan’s POVEthan Winters blinked in confusion as he opened his eyes to see a shifting white void. Trees and buildings made vague shapes through the fog before melting away, and as he took a step forward he could hear and feel the crunch of dirt and leaves under his feet.W-where was he?Ethan was po...
