Mist of Shadows

Harry Potter and the Magical Girls part 2

Harry wasn't sure how to feel about the fact that a dismembered corpse was easier to vanish than a fully intact dead body but it made sense that it was easier to visualize the body parts vanishing. 'It's probably just as well Death Eaters aren't people.' He pointed his wand at the man's severed head and focused on it vanishin...

Harry Potter and the Magical Girls Part 1

'Romance, political satire, thinly veiled porn,' Harry Potter mused as he glanced over the used books in the second hand store for something interesting, mostly because he was bored and Dudley was running around with his friends and in a vicious mood which meant he wanted to avoid his usual haunts. He was just about to head t...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 49

Fiona felt her disbelief grow as her uncle or at least the person that looked like a younger version of her uncle finished explaining that they'd basically been ripped out of their timeline and stranded in a version of the past. "Let me get this straight, you're saying that our parents are barely older than us and we're stuck...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 48

"I'm fairly sure this is cheating," Rose muttered as she watched Xander punch through the door of the Gaunt family shack and take several dark curses that did absolutely nothing to him other than make him grin.

"If you're not cheating, you're not trying," Dawn said cheerfully as she watched the cursed spells try to kill...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 47

'Suits!' Dawn squealed mentally when she opened the large cabinet near the airlock and found five space suits. 'It's like they don't even care about recycling or maybe the suits are cheap enough that no one cares?' she mused as she scanned the suits. 'Okay, that explains why they didn't care, very little radiation shielding a...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 46

"This would be easier if the board would let me hire Americans," Albus muttered under his breath as he pulled a chair away from the sarcophagus mounted to the wall.

"Perish the thought that we get someone bloodthirsty enough to do the job," Severus replied dryly as he moved a box of trinkets so Albus could pull the leve...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 45

Puck listened with half an ear to the Minister's blathering about duels, old laws and respect for authority and other such things that didn't honestly matter all that much as far as he was concerned while he glanced over the students gathered in the great hall to watch the duel. He was fairly sure they would have held the due...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 44

Tara Potter nearly dropped the vial filled with syrup of hellebore she was holding over her cauldron when she had yet another bundle of 'memories' burst into her awareness.

"Are you okay?" Rose Potter asked in a whisper as she reached over and steadied her sister's shaking hand, not wanting to give Snape an excuse to ta...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 43

"Shit!" Giles cursed when she went from being a 'generic' Enchanter and Magitech specialist with a vague history that had just successfully slashed the king's throat to Rupert Giles, trained Watcher and survivor of the hellmouth. He stared blankly at the dead man, trying to figure out why the king looked like a slightly older...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 42

Harry pulled his attention away from the interesting magical printer that Dawn had found in her trunk when he heard the door open. "Mione, you should see Dawn's printer."

Hermione froze when she stepped into the Blacklight Cafe and the scent of garlic roasted beef caressed her nose. "That smells delicious."

"I sho...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 41

Faith smiled at the attractive woman making her way towards the 'sealed' tomb with five brutish looking guards. "Lysa? Fred wondered if you'd show up once we unsealed the tomb."

Lysa paused as she studied the dark haired woman leaning up against the rough stone wall next to the entrance, trying to figure out how some ra...

Bad Genie, no Cookie

An: Two things, the first being that this is a free Christmas One Shot because it's the holidays and having something to read is good and because you're awesome.  The next is a general disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters or the unnamed character that might be recognized.  Either way, this was ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 40

Dawn waited until the ring's opening was covering in a glowing blue field then stepped through into a large old fashioned living room. She had just enough time to take in the scene, one cultist using a reddish beam of energy on an older looking Deckard while another held a dark skinned man in place with another beam of energy...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 39

Dennis pulled his attention from the naked young ladies that were sparing in the ring some of the girls had drawn on the beach as Amy walked over, looking uncharacteristically happy. "Having fun?"

"More than Vicky and Dean," Amy replied, a touch of smugness creeping into her voice despite her best efforts.

"Troubl...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 38

AN: So... yeah, it's not dead, it was merely resting, for a dragon's nap.

Is the previous chapter... They'd just gotten done with Worm and ended up in Diablo. ...

Projections in Worm Part 7

Danny pulled his attention away from the door Taylor had just walked through the kitchen door to put the dishes in the sink and focused on her lifelike projection. "You're going to keep her safe, right?"

"I'll do my best. Between her regeneration and the fact that she should be at least four blocks away from danger, she...

Projections in Worm Part 6

Myst opened the door to the garage and studied the blond haired young man that looked like he could have been a model. "Oliver?"

"What gave it away?" Oliver asked, studying the girl's face.

"No mask and you're not worried about me seeing your face, probably because you'll have a different one tomorrow." Myst glanc...

Projections in Worm Part 5

Assault grinned as the clip of the new cape dropping off a hogtied Skidmark and Mush at the PRT finished playing on the monitor. "Nice touch with the ribbons and making it look like Shadow Stalker took them out while 'out' of costume."

Battery shook her head. "It's not like Shadow Stalker's the only cape that wears a ho...

Projections in Worm Part 4

Victoria couldn't help the smile lighting up her face as she waved her hand back and forth through the brick wall. "Amy is going to freak when I tell her about my new powers and the off switch for my aura. I know I already said it but thanks again."

"You're welcome, it's nice to be able to turn powers off when you're no...

Projections in Worm Part 3

Taylor wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry as she looked at her projection, her black work boots and blue overalls weren't horrible though they clashed with her sheer silk shirt and the combination made her pigtails look weird though that might have something to do with the fact that they were tied up with pink shoelaces. ...

Projections in Worm Part 2

"If you need anything, push the button," the nurse suggested.

"Thanks," Taylor replied as she walked into the bathroom. She shut the door then glanced at the nice neat pile of clothes on the counter next to her shampoo. [Do you want me to drop you in the room or outside?]

[I've already talked to the cops and I'd r...

Projections in Worm

An: Short diversion because of the holidays. 

Myst was less than amused to find 'himself' in the body of a naked busty red haired girl standing in the middle of a hallway with a horrible rancid stench coming from the locker in front of her. She glanced at the scattered people that were watching her, she ...

Reluctant Heroes Part 7

Dave sighed as he spotted a man 'hiding' behind a tree in the forest watching the group from about a hundred feet up the road. "There's someone hiding in the trees, one hundred feet out."

Myst pulled his attention away from the pair of temporary slippers he was working on to increase his Leatherworking and looked at the...

Reluctant Heroes Part 6

One of the cheerleaders yawned. "I spy with my little eye, something brown."

"Is it a rock?" Rigby asked as he glanced over the flat and quite boring ground the group had been traveling through for the last couple of hours.

"Nope!" she replied with amusement, mixed with a healthy dose of boredom.

"Dirt?" one...

Reluctant Heroes Part 5

Bethany smiled when Myst walked over to the table where the group was eating an early breakfast looking like he could use a few more hours of sleep. "How much sleep did you get?"

Myst smiled at the old lady then took a seat next to Ella. "A couple of hours, it always takes me a bit to get used to new places."

"Did...

Reluctant Heroes skills

Sorry, not a chapter, just a (non updating) skill page as I don't want to waste a few thousand words moving things around 'on screen'.  It's one thing when it's scattered around but it's another when you're basically going through and tweaking lots of skills... but there are a lot of skills and it's weird not to show the...

Reluctant Heroes Part 4

Myst twisted and conjured a firebolt when Brian screamed incoherently and collapsed. He tossed the ball of fire at the moving splotch of darkness that was slightly darker than the rest of the poorly lit section of the hallway. He scowled as his fireball briefly illuminated a lap dog sized rat that was already rushing back int...

Reluctant Heroes Part 3

Sarah glanced over the group of half a dozen annoyed looking Americans sitting in the otherwise empty inn then glanced over at the glowing sconces on the walls. 'Same type of light as the sewers.'

'Nice to know that not everyone drank the kool aid,' Myst mused as he glanced over the group of strangers, some of whom he s...

Reluctant Heroes Part 2

"Yeah," Myst muttered as he let his eyes adjust to the torchlight. He glanced between the mostly clean walkway and the water that was dark and sort of nasty looking without being straight up sewage. He glanced at the glowing wall sconces spaced ten feet apart on the walls over the water.

Sarah glanced at the flickering ...

Reluctant Heroes

An: Based on Isekai de Skill wo Kaitai shitara Cheat na Yome ga Zoushoku Shimashita: Gainen Kousa no Structure or  "Being Able to Edit Skills in Another World, I Gained OP Waifus" a manga that's a bit odd but doesn't have an idiot for a protagonist and has game elements. The idea wouldn't stop bothering me.
