"Nonlinear topology truly is a convenient thing," Kayneth mused as he stood by the window, gazing down at the forest hidden beneath layers of magical barriers. Absentmindedly, he would occasionally open his magic circuits, letting a small amount of power flow to make the air tremble or swirl arou...

He already knew she’d refuse, but he offered anyway. Partly out of politeness, partly just to mess with her. He looked at the woman with a mix of disdain and condesce...

Sure, she could’ve lied, claiming that despite working together that one time, they hadn’t exchanged contact information. But the moment the press...

I perched on the roof above the gate, watching as Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto struggled to gain entry into Torideneko. Honestly, the cat guards were straight-up messing with my three little shinobi, all of whom were now wearing fluffy cat-ear headbands. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were down on all ...

I was feeling pretty content, letting the others do most of the talking. We were home, safe, and Luna had already sent ...

Everything settled back into routine. Training, studying, hanging out with the guys—though, unfortunately, not as much as I’d like. Penny fit right in with the group, bonding fast with Kristi, which meant our evening study sessions were now a trio event. And at night, well… my Sunshine and ...

Finally, the big day arrived, and we were dragged out of bed at some ungodly hour—about four in the morning. I don’t think I’d ever been up that early in my life. We ate breakfast on autopilot, only properly waking up when we were already trudging through the morning chill and damp, followi...

Thank the feline gods, my Sasuke didn't completely lose it from having his entire reality rearranged. But damn, I only just now realized how recklessly I’d been walking the edge of disaster this whole time. And to top it off, I felt kind of guilty. Guilty for all the times I ranted at the scree...
