NEW STORY: TAYLOR’S DEMONIC JOURNEY (AN ALT-TAYLOR AS DC’S RAVEN FANFICTION)

If someone had told Taylor that she would one day have powers, that she would meet the love of her life, save the world, and eventually marry that same woman, she would have laughed bitterly through her tears. Back then, the very idea of having a future at all had seemed like a cruel joke, or per...

NEW STORY: THE BLUE BEETLE OF BROCKTON BAY PROLOGUE

Jaime Reyes came to with saltwater filling his lungs and the world spinning in slow, dizzying circles. For a second he thought he was drowning in the Gulf again, then the rain found him, heavy and cold enough to bite through his hoodie. Tempted though he was to stay where he was, blinking against...

TAYLOR AS DC’S RAVEN ALT FANFICTION ANNOUNCEMENT (CONT’D)

The story will be written in a different format from my typical ones; we will start from the end rather than the beginning—after the world is saved and Taylor has settled down with her significant other—so who is the aforementioned significant other?

(AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN…) EXHAUSTION

Taylor didn’t know what to feel.

Relief should have come first, shouldn’t it? Sophia Hess—Shadow Stalker—was finally in custody. After everything, after months of whispered taunts, pushes, and bruised pride, after the horror of that locker, she was finally somewhere she cou...

(AFK WORM) CHAPTER FOUR

It took time, more than Shemira would ever admit aloud, but eventually the tightness in her chest whenever Crystal Pelham entered the room began to fade. The girl was perceptive, yes, but kind as well. And while Shemira never stopped being cautious, she allowed herself to breathe again and settle...

(ACCIDENTAL VILLAINY) CRASH-OUT

To crash out meant to cross a line you could never uncross. It meant doing something that would brand you forever, whether that meant going to prison, taking a life, or losing your own.

In Taylor’s case, it hadn’t been planned. It wasn’t even born from rage. Maybe it was just the fina...

(SHATTERPOINT) INCOMING SHITSTORM

Sometimes, the how and why didn’t matter. Only the end result did. But when said end result was something that defied reason, when it upended everything people thought they knew, the how and why became impossible to ignore.

Take this situation, for inst...

(PROFESSOR UZUMAKI) A TALE OF THREE TEENS III

Taylor wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly how reckless her plan was.

It wasn’t as though she hadn’t thought it through. For nights on end, she had lain awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts looping endlessly as she ran over the same arguments, the same fears, until the lines...

(PROFESSOR UZUMAKI) A TALE OF THREE TEENS II

The city was quiet in that special, miserable way only Brockton Bay could manage, its cold air heavy with the kind of smells that stuck to the back of your throat and refused to leave. And through it all came the constant, distant wail of sirens, rising and falling. A grim reminder that peace nev...

(LIMITLESS) CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: COMPLETION

When Taylor woke again, the blinds cut the evening light into thin orange stripes across the floor, making everything feel quieter than it really was. For the first time since she’d been brought to the PRT’s in-house hospital, there was no one else there. Even the steady beeping of the teleme...

NEW STORY ANNOUNCEMENT (CONT’D)

So according to the poll, the majority of you wants me to write a Static Shock/Worm crossover fanfiction. And sure, I'll do that. But I need another story idea, so time to pick again:

(But first, for all those concerned about Static’s power levels, be rest assured, the dude’s busted. Ap...

NEW STORY ANNOUNCMENT

With The Next Great Adventure completed, Limitless on its last legs, and Saving Earth Bet, One Punch At A Time in limbo at the moment—still undecided about the direction to take it—a new story is in order, and it is one featuring a DC childhood classic hero, Static Shock. But alas, I'm unsure...

(AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN…) FUCKED

Sophia was fucked. Fucked, fucked, fucked, fucked. 

The thought looped like static in her skull, a broken record she couldn’t turn off. Repetition turned it into a mantra, dulling the panic and making it feel like focus. Everything narrowed until the hallway was nothing but ...

(ACCIDENTAL VILLAINY) AN UNWELCOMED WELCOME II

Taylor’s breath came in uneven bursts as she ducked behind a rusted ventilation unit, pressing a hand against the worse wound and feeling the warmth seep through her gloves. Her fingers came away slick with blood. She didn’t want to look, but the pain refused to be ignored—the metallic tang...

(LIMITLESS) CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: DADMASTER???

Waking up in the hospital wasn’t new to Taylor. 

The sterile scent of disinfectant, the bzzt of the overhead lights, and the constant beep of a heart monitor were all things she was beginning to recognize far too easily. Even the dull ache that settled into her bones as cons...

(THE ‘S’ STANDS FOR HOPE) CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: SUPERMAN III

The first to greet him wasn’t human.

She appeared as little more than insubstantial invisible air, faint distortions that caught the light. But to Superman’s eyes, she was more than that. She was there. Every movement of her body trailed eddies that stirred his cape, the shape ...

(SHATTERPOINT) FIGHTING A PARAHUMAN

Fighting a parahuman—especially one as powerful and well-trained as Battery—should have been impossible for any ordinary human, even for someone like Anakin Skywalker.

But that was in a straight fight, and this wasn’t that.

He’d accounted for this possibility the mome...

(AFK WORM) CHAPTER THREE

Taylor’s training would have to wait.

It wasn’t that Shemira didn’t see the importance of it. Quite the opposite, in fact. She wanted her daughter to be able to protect herself in a world where monsters wore human faces, and heroes were sometimes little better. But the Heberts were st...

(AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN…) UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL

Taylor would’ve been the first to admit she was out of shape.

Sure, she was skinny—had always been—but that didn’t mean she was fit. Her limbs weren’t toned or graceful like Sophia’s, and she definitely didn’t have the stamina to keep moving after her lungs began to burn. She ...

(TSSFH) CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: SUPERMAN II

Most people thought Superman was more brawn than brain, and he couldn’t really blame them for that. When you could lift mountains and regularly went toe-to-toe against the mightiest foes, people tended to see the strength before the thought behind it.

But that couldn’t be farther from t...

(AV) AN UNWELCOMED WELCOME

Despite everything she’d told herself that night on the rooftop, Taylor didn’t go to the PRT right away. She wanted to—God, she wanted to—but wanting and doing were very different things.

It took her three days. Three long, sleepless days of pacing, of turning Shielder's wo...

(ONE-SHORT) THE WEDDING AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Alexandria had seen and accepted many things in her long life. Her perfect recall ensured she never forgot the worst humanity—the worst she and Cauldron—had to offer. But there was nothing, not even in her deepest, most unhinged nightmares, that could have prepared her for t...

(AFKW) CHAPTER TWO

Shemira hadn’t expected Earth Bet to be more dangerous than Esperia, but in some ways, it was. 

Esperia’s threats were vast but distant, waged on scales most could barely comprehend. Entire villages could live and die without ever laying eyes on a beast, much less a Hypogean. But h...

(PROFESSOR UZUMAKI) A TALE OF THREE TEENS

Greg Veder was living his best life.

From being just an average otaku—average, he corrected himself with a grin, except in his head that word had about a thousand asterisks, each one pointing to footnotes about hidden depths, untapped potential, and the misunderstood brilliance o...

(AAA…) HASTE

Colin Wallis had built his career on preparation. Every patrol, every engagement, and every public appearance was calculated to help further his agenda. They weren't left to chance. Anticipation and readiness weren’t just strengths; they were the foundation of survival, the bedrock of his reput...

(TSSFH) CHAPTER SIXTY: SUPERMAN

Superman’s job never ended. He could take a break, yes—he wasn’t a machine despite his enhanced endurance, and Ma Kent had always reminded him that even heroes needed to rest once in a while—but sooner or later, the world would always call.

And this world called more often than most...

(THO) INTERLUDE

Amy Dallon didn’t do brains.

That wasn’t just a preference, and it wasn’t just an unspoken rule. It had become gospel, repeated often enough that it was now a line burned so deep into her reputation, into the city’s understanding of her: Panacea doesn’t do brains. Everyon...

(SHATTERPOINT) THE FINAL STRAW

Hannah, or Miss Militia now that she was back in costume, was suspicious. And as terrible as it sounded, she was more suspicious of her fellow hero than the man they were here to interrogate.

“Battery.”

The name came out level, but Hannah’s eyes narrowed behind the scarf. Someth...

(TEASER) SAVING EARTH BET, ONE PUNCH AT A TIME: A ONE PUNCH MAN/WORM CROSSOVER FANFICTION

It was a normal day.

The sun was shining, the air smelled faintly of concrete dust, and Saitama was walking home from his favorite supermarket with a plastic bag dangling from one hand. He was already thinking about dinner. Maybe he would have a hotpot, or omelet rice again. Maybe just inst...

ANNOUNCEMENT

Decided to post the story on Spotify for those who like to listen to shit while sleeping. This is the first chapter, so give it a try, guys. Feedback is always appreciated, so future episodes will be better😭😭😭
