Going Native: Feeling of Anticipation (ch. 51)

If you knew anything about the Green Lanterns, it was impossible to not know Sinestro and his story. Of the Green Lanterns of this age, he was wildly considered the greatest. He might not be the most powerful, or the most creative, but his skill with a power ring was unmatched. Becau...

Going Native: Feeling of Unease (ch. 50)

Something was wrong. I felt it almost as soon as my eyes opened and the traces of sleep left my mind. The mask on my face didn't fit right and when I went to move to check it, the healing pod that I slept in felt far smaller than it should. I was hardly in danger of bumping my head, or anything, ...

Power Corrupts: (ch. 48)

A few days passed, but it felt like weeks as we made the preparations for the invasion. A few days of watching the city struggle to pull itself together as an invading army marched. Scouts reported that the Forsworn were finally on the move after a massive celebration and a funeral for their dead...

Power Corrupts: (ch. 47)

"I had hoped that I would never see my home in such a dreadful state," Jarl Igmund muttered as we stepped through the city gates. The crowd had moved from the plaza to somewhere else in the city, but I still heard music and laughing. They left behind the dead drunk, and possibly flat out dead, em...

Power Corrupts: (ch. 46)

Right. Right, right, right. Was this a bad thing? It didn't seem particularly bad, but given that quite literally the entire city was throwing a rager to the point the city was left unguarded… I was going to say that it was a bad thing.

But clearly, I was the only one to think so. Dibella...

See No Evil: Tracing (ch. 13)

“Tifa Lockhart, huh?” Oswald Cobblepot muttered to himself, taking in a deep breath of smoke as he looked at the finalized papers for the fake identities he set up for the freshly minted Vergil St. Jude and Tifa Lockhart. He gave them the works -- driver licenses, passports, social security n...

See No Evil: (ch. 12)

The pamphlet of papers felt like they weighed like the plate above Midgar, Tifa reflected as she looked down at them. Her eyes followed the words, but she couldn’t bring herself to actually read them. They were details that outlined her life in this new world. Details of a fake life that she ha...

See No Evil: (ch. 11)

I was a person now. Not that I wasn’t one before, but now I had a legal identity. At the low, low, low cost of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, I purchased myself a background, a social security number, and an ID card. In the eyes of the world, I was Vergil St. Jude, a sixteen-year-old kid...

Going Native: Sense of Loss (ch. 49)

Shugesh grinned as he checked himself out in the mirror. A few scars marked his body, including a big one on his stomach where he got a hole burnt through him way back on Rench. Only now instead of the scar stretching out over a thick layer of fat that had clung to him ever since he was a child, ...

Power Corrupts: Unexpected Conflicts (ch. 47)

"I had hoped that I would never see my home in such a dreadful state," Jarl Igmund muttered as we stepped through the city gates. The crowd had moved from the plaza to somewhere else in the city, but I still heard music and laughing. They left behind the dead drunk, and possibly flat...

Power Corrupts: Unexpected Turns (ch. 46)

I done goofed. I was man enough to admit it. I made a mistake. I had thoroughly underestimated just how much trouble dealing with the Dark Brotherhood would cause me. I had also underestimated the number of people that wanted to kill me after meeting me. That was a real eye-opener. Going to the D...

See No Evil: Brazing (ch.12)

The pamphlet of papers felt like they weighed like the plate above Midgar, Tifa reflected as she looked down at them. Her eyes followed the words, but she couldn’t bring herself to actually read them. They were details that outlined her life in this new world. Details of a fake lif...

See No Evil: Brutting (ch. 10)

Flowers didn't smell particularly good, I noted as I took the time to smell the flowers. Roses didn’t smell particularly bad either, just not very good. Really made you wonder why you were supposed to stop and smell them. But, all the same, I checked the cut at the end of the stem to see that t...

Going Native: Sense of Challenge (ch. 48)

This is the first time in a long time I haven't been happy with a Going Native chapter. It feels like it's pure exposition and set up. I think I was a bit too ambitious in doing this storyline in just 4 chapters, but it is what it is. 

One more chapter and a new arc begins...

I done goofed. I was man enough to admit it. I made a mistake. I had thoroughly underestimated just how much trouble dealing with the Dark Brotherhood would cause me.

Power Corrupts: Dirty Dealings (ch. 44)

I was lucky I was wearing a helmet, or the great big smile on my face would have been really misunderstood as I hacked through a necromancer. His ward spell shattered like glass underneath the force of my blow and the flimsy black robe went up in flames as I cut right through him. I darted forwar...

Poll Results for September Prompt

By a landslide victory, Debriefing has won. I'll go ahead and start writing the prompt but I figure I should place a disclaimer here -- much like 'I'd like to see the manager' the prompt does not take place in the Going Native main universe. As you would expect, I do have a similar scene planned ...

Biggest Tipper Poll for the September Prompt

Darth Hikitanti (OreGairu/Star Wars): A chapter of my story My highschool adventure as a Sith is wrong, as expected (OreGairu/Star Wars), where Hachiman and Padawan make their escape from the Sith Empire.
