I'm not really happy with this one, but I give up on making it better.

Upon waking, Tanya immediately checked her messages. The Injustice League, as Tanya had decided to call them, had continued to fortify the Watchtower for the most part, but they had also made...

A young mage's journey 3

As may be redundant to mention, but Tanya had not been adopted by Mennehl and Genivere. If you listened to the young wife’s whispered words, this was solely by her own design, but Tanya wasn’t entirely sure Mennehl would have done so on his own initiative either, if his discomfort whenever hi...

Not happy with this one. Must have deleted twice as many words for this one as I wrote, but the show must go on.

Alfred was more than just a butler. In a very real sense, he was basically Bruce’s father, and was, most of the time, given respect commensurate ...

Swordsman's adventure 25

One of the things Tanya absolutely did not enjoy learning was how to strut. By that, of course, she meant how to walk in ways that maximize appeal, rather than for other kinds of utility. But Grandmother, as in Mai, not Shakuyaku, had put quite a bit of effort into the education, and it was a goo...

“Make a note.” Batman said shortly after they launched. “Current response times for the planetary shield generator are insufficient. We did not account for camouflage, and it’s likely that there exists technology to elude our scanners in other ways.” Currently, the theoretical response ...

The Temple of Olympus, name kept deliberately simple and neutral for future bribe potential, didn’t take very long to get refurbished. This particular Cathedral was not a stellar example of Catholic construction, as it was built from the ground up as a corrupt cover for the Falcone crime family...

Shoulder Devil 3

Taylor’s full body cringe was unpleasant to experience secondhand, but she stood her ground. They did go over a few potential scenarios, but it appeared that Taylor was too nervous to properly execute. “Hello, Emma.” Taylor managed to say in a somewhat deadpan manner. “Goodbye, Emma.” S...

Devil's Consultancy 23

WIth the whole ‘Joker’ matter being handled by the foremost occult expert that can both be swayed by a few million dollars and also will take Tanya’s calls, doing her own research wasn’t likely to do anything but waste her time. 

Which is good, because while perusing ancient to...

May Poll

The April break met its own productivity goal, which is good news, because we're back in business. Devil's consultancy updates will continue starting on the 5th.

Poll time! As usual, the winner will receive an update on the 1st of next month, with all you voters getting a week with it befo...

Shoulder Devil 2

This is the last update before I start going back to Devil's consultancy. Hopefully I'll be able to update other stories between those updates in the coming months.

As it turned out, this world possessed comic book superheroes as an actual thing. Supervilla...

Swordsman's adventure 24

The Revolutionary Army was organized as any military would be: with an overall commander in the Ex-Admiral Monkey D. Dragon, a series of geographically limited subcommanders, one for each sea, cell leaders who oversee individual operations, in this case countries that they are working on supporti...

BOOM

Tanya cackled as her enemies panicked at the sudden introduction of artillery. Her hands flashed over her command console, selecting small groups of her clank army and issuing them commands. 

The Military Recreation club held meetings every Sunday, from elev...

New commissioned story! Enjoy.

She’s been falling for a while. 

At first, she had been thankful for the ability she had learned in Japan’s polite, regimented society, thinking of absolutely nothing. She had honed this in the military, the early d...

Fae Chronicles 11 (end)

This is the last of my current stories that are in a "close to finished" state, now finally finished. It took me so long to write this, and now it's finally done. It was a fun ride, but boy howdy did this story fight me for every chapter. 

Next is gonna be a Path to Living chapter (it'...

Magical Adventure 2

Sorry for this being late, I only finished the Devil's chapter on Saturday, so I didn't have enough time to make this.

Note: This also officially begins my month-long haitus, and the payment pause from that. Patreon will not charge y'all money for this month, and this chapter will be made ...

Devil's consultancy 22

Not exactly my best work, but it's a fun pair of scenes, lots of background exposition, a few fun jokes.

Unfortunately, John Constantine was not an easy man to get a hold of. Well, for her it wasn’t. He always picked up Batman’s calls, he just hung up when Ta...

Devil's consultancy 21

The aftermath of the Thanagarian invasion was relatively simple. The aftereffects, on the other hand, were much more impressive. 

As part of their takeover gambit, the Thanagarians essentially released information on how to make a functioning cold fusion plant. Within a year, scaled-do...

Announcement

First of all, this week's update is gonna be a little late. Hopefully I can get it done tonight, but it's only half done so it might be a Tuesday update instead. Very sad.

More importantly, and the reason I'm making a post instead of just being late, I've decided that yes, I'm going to be ...

Devil's consultancy 20

According to the plan, this would be the point where Beast Boy shows up as a small garden snake and delivers the sunlight potion to the kryptonians. As Beast Boy was not here, and the Thanagarians were on far greater of an alert than planned for due to Rhine’s failure to win in the air, hewing ...

Devil's consultancy 19

Tanya didn’t, strictly speaking, know exactly how Bruce’s infiltration of the delegation went. She did, however, know that the Thanagarians now had a bunch of hostages, and were proudly proclaiming the capture of the Justice League with the patrols that were enforcing the Thanagarian martial ...

Devil's consultancy 18

Unlike the last invasion, this one was a bit… more anemic. It started with an interrupted UN event, where a battleship came down and fired a few warning shots. Before the invader could broadcast their intentions, another warship came and destroyed it, with the few members of the Justice League ...

March Poll

I thought about removing some of the stuff that never get votes, like Spirit Walk and a Deal with Death, but then I remembered that To Be A Hero actually won one last year, and decided against it.

A young girl's magical adventure 1

Okay, so I’ll admit I was a little short on ideas for this iteration of the Mystery box. So I wrote this up as a setup for a relatively short but normal-ish fantasy story where Tanya becomes a relatively normal adventurer. Setting is Fire Emblem 8.

Devil's consultancy 17

Tanya spent the rest of the day doing actual work. The office still hadn’t really calmed down over the Powdered Midnight, and the revelation of alternate conditions creating substances with different states of matter had led to a half dozen different variations of the moonlight ritual to see if...

Devil's consultancy 16

Sorry for the late post, but I'm still not happy with this chapter. It doesn't really match my vision, but despite how dissatisfied I am, it's coherent, so it'll have to do.

Incidentally, if you're wondering why I haven't posted a commission this month yet, it's because I did the poll chap...

Summon Perfect Warlady 2.22 (The End)

It took Tanya an embarrassingly long time to figure out Charlie’s actual plan. At first, she thought him as arrogant; continually launching indirect attacks through catspaws to aggravate or weaken her. She thought herself clever for continually coming out ahead, her empire growing in territory ...

Summon Perfect Warlady 2.21

Between how late I am with this and the fact that this is the second-to-last chapter, I'm going to have to keep this at just 3k words.

Sorry about that.

--------------------------

The chat’s reaction to Charlie was… spirited. Memes flowed freely, and Tanya’s mystifying a...

February Poll

Okay, Devil's consultancy is definitely going to start being the regular update this month unless I get some crazy inspiration on SPW, so it's off the list. Courtly Chronicles is done, so it's gone too.

Courtly Chronicles 11 (The End)

Before anyone complains about this being the last chapter, I should point out that while it may have been more chapters if I had written this immediately after the other ones, it wouldn't have been that many chapters: I'd say no more than three, and probably only two at most. It was always going ...
