"Mr. Jericho? How was the Moot?" Lili asked when I teleported back home with Hestia. This time I was able to walk through the front door instead of falling from the ceiling. Lili sat on the couch, a book in hand that she had been reading before the fireplace. Serana also looked up from her place ...

A woman walked towards me during the middle of the meeting as the gods bickered back and forth about something. It had been three days since the meeting began, but it felt like it had been closer to three decades. Mostly because pretty much nothing had been accomplished. outside of wasting time, ...

"Sheogorath, I would presume," Elenwen responded, her tone aloof.
"That," Sheogorath leaned in and whispered in her ear, the words carrying because everyone was suddenly deathly silent. "Is not my name."
I shifted where I stood -- everyone else in the room understood, I saw. The hall ...

Revy held up two bills, inspecting them both with a discerning eye that flickered back and forth between the hundred-dollar bills. She made a noise of acknowledgment, before flipping the bills over to inspect the back of them. Her eyes narrowed ever so slightly, bringing one closer to her face, t...

"... Here's your cereal," I said, looking away as I held out the cereal to her. Cass accepted it, but out of the corner of my eye, I didn't see her move. Right. So, Cass slept in the nude. Fair enough, I did the same more often than not. What I didn't do was walk around the apartment in the nude....

It was a mass breakout, with emphasis on mass. With the vines that I had given Poison Ivy, she had broken out almost the entirety of Batman's roster of villains.
Harley Quinn, who I'm betting was the real target. The others included Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Mad Hatter, the Riddler, Calendar Ma...

"You can do it, just a little more," my physical therapist -- Alice -- coached me as I spun the pedals in my hands, filling the room with the sound of shifting sand. Or at least I'm assuming it was sand. My biceps burned with effort, and my shirt was plastered to my body because it was completely...

"They took the bait," Prince Tarble remarked, looking at a map of the galaxy as they stood in his throne room inside of the Warworld. Avery stood in line with a handful of others -- Generals and Admirals. Each hand-picked to take place in this bloodbath. And it spoke a great deal about Prince Tar...

This was Sheogorath's fault, I decided, spotting the Mark under the Emperor's feet. I was so not prepared for Emperor Titus to pop into Helgen unannounced.

"You can use the private booths," Mama Welles spoke up as Tattletale practically radiated smugness out of every pore. It was nice to know that my initial impression of her had been dead on -- Tattletale struck me as an uppity bitch. The kind that had to be the prettiest, smartest, funniest person...

Tinkering with objects was different than tinkering with code, I found. With code, I was in the driver's seat the entire time. I was aware of what I was doing, what I was creating. And I could look back at the code and make sense of it. With objects, it was different. My hands- well, hand, seemed...

He was supposed to be the first bad guy she took down, Taylor Hebert reflected. She made that decision in the elevator when she saw the blood on his face and the guns he was carrying. Guns that you couldn't get out of a vending machine. Using a few flies through the air conditioning unit, Taylor ...

I have to go on a business trip for work during the time frame, so there won't be any updates between the 19th and the 26th. It worked out nicely since I have a bi-weekly story to think about now and it was already closing in on my break every two months so, I figured it would be a good time to j...

Jim Gordon sighed as he watched Two-Face's body get rolled out. From his angle, he only saw the unburned half of his face. For a moment, it was like losing Harvey all over again.

My head felt like it was full of cotton when I woke up. I drifted for a long time between the realm of sleep and awareness, that twilight time when a minute was just as likely to feel like a second as it would an hour.

Gods made things way too complicated, I decided, and not for the first time. Akatosh, in his infinite wisdom, decided to make Serana the Dragonborn while she was napping away. Did that mean the original Dragonborn just wasn't the Dragonborn anymore? Did he take away their Dragonborn-ness? Did the...
