All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 14

‘I’ll be waiting for as long as you need me to,’ I told her.

Which sounds grand. Noble, even. Maybe a bit stoic. A proclamation about enduring no matter the circumstances. It’s the kind of line the heroine says to the departing hero when he sets on a journey where death i...

Poll Results for February 2022

And the winners are!

For the poll for €2 supporters and above (and to no-one's surprise, at this point) Wordsworth!

For the poll for €5 supporters and above, there has been a tie between Yui's Lily Garden and Of Sisters and Shadows, but, as it was Xalgeon's birthday and I have a m...

Of Sisters and Shadows – Chapter 5

“This is an awful, terribad idea,” Vicky says from almost right behind me.

“Stop being such a scaredy-cat. And abusing English,” I answer while trying not to notice the way her aura brushes against me, overflowing with concern and protectiveness.

Such a goddamn teas...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Yui’s Lily Garden – Chapter 4

I remember that a long, long time ago (about twenty minutes), I thought something like, ‘this is mortifying.’

I thought that because I just heartfeltly proclaimed to myself that I wanted to protect Yukinon’s (my girlfriend’s—aaaaaaaahhhhhh!) smile.

I was wrong. 2022-03-05 13:23:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Tangled Regrets – Chapter 10 – No Longer Fated

Madoka’s lips brush against mine with a kiss so tender it’s like a spring breeze flitting by.

Then her hand cups my cheek, and the heat is a summer afternoon, the sun drifting to evening.

Then I open my eyes and look at entrancing pink. And there are no seasons, just an...

February's Extra Poll 1

Sorry about the delay. Hopefully I'll get to writing these over the next two weeks without too much delay. That being said, enjoy poring over the ever growing menu!

Wake-up Call – Chapter 33

“Tattletale,” Brian says, voice dramatically echoing through the whorls of his power trailing below his helmet. Then he dramatically crosses his arms and nods, the citrine beam of the streetlamp shimmering across the uncovered parts of his costume.

…

“Is he being se...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 13 – An Anxious Girl

School rushes by.

Except it doesn’t, because I am in the center of the rumor mill, and it’s obvious I’m not getting out of there any time soon after very publicly kissing the chuuni, about as publicly getting into a fight, and then yet again kissing the frustrating, warm, t...

ANNOUNCEMENT - Payment Paused For March

First of all, I’m currently finishing today’s Zaimokuza’s update (which should have been Monday’s update). I am sorry about the delays over the past few weeks, they have been a consequence of both accumulated workload and personal issues—nothing bad, but I had to organize a f...

Wordsworth – Chapter 10

Morning is the time when the Sun awakes, but, as nice as the Sun can be, he’s also a bit vain, and thus he demands others wake with him so they can watch him for as long as possible until he retires for the night.

So I am not surprised at ticklish, warm fingers made of gentle r...

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 32

Fighting games are ridiculous.

Aside from plots that make me want to set the language to English and pretend every character is saying something adequately cool, aside from the preposterous gimmicks—and how very few incorporate armor-busting moves that sate a teenage boy’s (o...

Of Sisters and Shadows – Chapter 4

“Kale. Smoothies,” I accuse my tormentor.

“They are healthy and good for you,” she replies, her grin so wide I suspect biokinesis is at play—scratch that, I know it is. Because of course she wouldn’t have enough with being a claimant to the throne of the Fair...

Tangled Regrets – Chapter 9 – A Suspicious Knight

“Why?” I ask my childhood friend, the girl I’ve known all of my life.

The one I thought I knew.

“Sayaka...” she hesitates, a hand half-raised toward me.

“Hey, no need to get so intense, newbie. Let her explain.”

I look at Kyouko, at the worry hidde...

Wake-up Call – Chapter 32

Wake-up Call – Chapter 32

My bike roars as I push the engine, cutting through the backstreets and any other place I can quickly come up with that won’t endanger any pedestrian.

Taylor Hebert’s preoccupation with reckless—

Good thing she isn’t ...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 12

When it comes to heroes and their weaknesses, there are two schools of thought. The first one is the one so lauded by pretentiously literate people everywhere who won’t shut up about flaws making the he...

Wordsworth – Chapter 9 – Colors 4

Sophia always called Piggot ‘Ms. Piggy.’ She felt the obese woman didn’t deserve any kind of respect, obviously far more prey than predator, given her only claim to fame had been being maimed by Nilbog.

Sophia… I won’t s...

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 31

Westerners have a saying—or is that a proverb? Maybe a song? Meh, who cares. Anyway, the important thing is that some Westerner, at one point or another, said that one is the loneliest number.

Which is stupid.

Aside from the fact that numbers aren’t able to feel lonelin...

Tangled Regrets – Chapter 8 – A Fated Night

The four of us are in one of the rooms reserved for our student trip at the local inn. At any other point, I would’ve questioned the expense of having only four students per room, but…

Junko.

I won’t ever question anything that can simply be explained away just by say...

Wake-up Call – Chapter 31

This is mortifying.

“That’s twice this has happened,” Taylor says, smug dripping off her tone like her lubrication off my double-headed dildo.

Yep, focus on that thought, Lisa. It may allow you to pretend things aren’t completely one-sided for just a little bit.

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 11

Walking back home from school, my hand tightly clasping that of a girl who says I’m her boyfriend, is one of those things I never expected to experience without a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief...

Wordsworth – Chapter 8

Wordsworth – Chapter 8

“Please, Tay, don’t do this,” Lisa’s voice warms something deep in my chest, even as I ache to soothe her worry, even as I yearn to layer words upon her wounds until they are protected from a world that always intrudes upon them, tearing ope...

An End, Some Means, and a Deranged Lesbian – Chapter 1 [Complete]

My magic is unlike that of other magical girls. I get constant visions of the future, and so it drains me with every breath, with every small glimpse into a catastrophe I must abort at any cost.

Also, unlike other magical girls, I know where witches come from. Having the certaint...

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 30

As sacrilegious as it is to even consider it, I must admit there’s something about anime that irks me to no end. An irreconcilable difference with my worldview that feels utterly bewildering, seeing as said worldview can be essentially summed up as ‘I read this in Shounen Jump, so ...

Tangled Regrets – Chapter 7 – The Tired Fighter

Moments slip through my fingers like treacle as I struggle to tighten my hold on time around me.

It’s no longer the effortless grace I used to have as everything froze, as bullets hung in the air waiting for me to dance around them.

It’s enough.

Sayaka’s voice i...

Wake-up Call – Chapter 30

“Run this by me again,” Taylor says as she tucks her hair behind her ear, the wind on top of this high building making it stream to her side in long, waving streamers of dark silk that glimmer in the twilight hour—

“Lisa?” she asks, cocking her head.

“Uh?”

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 10

Saika is blushing, smiling, and biting his lip.

I feel that Hachiman may hate me if he ever learns of it.

‘No shit. You’re practically NTRing him.’

Inner Hachiman! My relationship with Saika is strictly—well, not Platonic. Just in case.

I still ...

Wordsworth – Chapter 7 – Colors 3

“So… How was school today?” Mom asks and smiles at me.

It doesn’t take a Thinker power to realize how utterly fake and frail the smile is.

“Fine. Nothing worth talking about,” I answer, as politely as I can, and spoon another serving of mashed potatoes.

Sh...

Periodical Cicadas – Chapter 6

You know what nobody tells you about heroing?

The staggering amount of laws you’re going to break.

In my case, that’s one. So far. But given how new I am at this job, it doesn’t bode well for my future. I may even end up jaywalking.

But before sinking to those l...

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 29

In recent years, there’s been a scholarly debate about a moral concern that has repercussions that may affect society as a whole. The question that’s been posited is the following: is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?

It is not, as some may claim, a frivolous mat...
