Making things right (Final)
“So, this is what you've always seen?" Yuki asked, her voice soft as her gaze swept across the forest. Her left eye remained shut, relying entirely on mine to perceive the world around her. A small chuckle escaped me. “Feels empty, doesn't it? At...
Vermintide: Unholy Unions - Packmaster & Rat Ogre
The collar jerked sideways with a cruel snap, the embedded hook dragging Rook's head up by the throat until his breath cut short. He staggered, vision swimming, body forced to follow. His arms had been trussed behind him for so long that sensation had...
Welcome to Heat Street: C4 - Feedback Loop
Kaari didn't normally try this hard. Clothes were just another layer — something to drape across her coat so the world wouldn't gawk at the wrong time. She dressed for comfort, efficiency, maybe a hint of ass if she felt like it. But not today. Today,...
Welcome to Heat Street: C6 - Signal Loss
Vetra pulled Elliot straight into her chest with one arm, beer still in the other, grin wide across her face like she'd just won a prize she hadn't even tried that hard to win. “C'mere," she said. “You're way too stiff for a night off." He didn't...
Welcome to Heat Street: C2 - Smile behind the teeth
Elliot knocked twice on the door to apartment 3B, then stepped back exactly one meter. The tray in his hands was neatly wrapped in parchment, with a small card tucked beneath the twine: Welcome to The Perch — High-protein, low-sugar,...
Loveless Incantation: Chapter 22
They did exactly as Jessy had told them. Once the generals and Alex's party joined hands, they awoke on the battlefield behind Alex. The transformation was immediate, their senses heightened, their bodies lighter, as if they had been released from the...
Welcome to Heat Street: C3 - Repeating Patterns
By the end of his third week on Heat Street, Elliot had sorted his life into something stable: three grocery runs, two laundry days, and one Kaari favor roughly every seventy-two hours. That one was harder to track — her sense of timing wasn't measured...
Vermintide: Final Job P3
The putrid stench of the dumping ground began to fade as Anleesh continued forward. This passage he followed hadn't branched off into the usual crisscrossing tunnels he expected. Each step he took only made his heart beat faster, knowing that every...
Loveless Incantation: Final
Azure and I collide, fist to fist, the shockwave splitting the clouds apart like shattered glass. The force rolls through my body, a tangible hum in my bones, but I don't waver. She meets my gaze—sharp, wild, unrelenting. Neither of us gives an...
Welcome to Heat Street: C7 - Function and Form
Elliot arrived seven minutes early. The directions were clear enough: take the stairs, not the elevator (the elevator might “squeal like it's in pain," according to the memo), proceed to the third floor, and report to “Feather & Frame Studio" for a...
Vermintide: Final Job P2
Anleesh had awakened earlier to the quiet emptiness of the forest, finding Skiteek and Daven already gone. With little to do, he sat in thought, knowing all too well that fleeing with the warpstone was not an option; those two would inevitably track...
Welcome to Heat Street: C9 - Overflow State
Elliot arrived exactly when the timestamp told him to. The address brought him to a low, square building set quietly between two taller ones — a clinic on one side, and what looked like a residential sublease on the other. No digital display. No...
