[Mad Tiger] Chapter 23

There’s this weird feeling gnawing at me, like something’s missing, but I can’t quite figure out what. Everything seems normal. The place still smells like Uzumaki territory. Naruto’s hair has that familiar herbal shampoo scent. He’s been healthy for a while now and back to attending the Academy. I can even catch a ...

[Prof Umbridge] Chapter 47

Marina Nikolaevna really didn’t like sleeping naked. Not because she thought it was improper, but simply because it wasn’t very pleasant. Especially when, early in the morning, a hefty cat would prance across her bare back, and if she moved, it would dig in with all its claws to stay balanced! And in the winter, it was do...

[Castling the Long Way] Chapter 27

This summer had been far too ordinary. I only spent two weeks with Luna, and even that felt rushed. She barely had time for me—her dad had roped her into planning an expedition that was set to leave in early July, and they wouldn’t be back until just a week before the new school year started. I was gutted, to say the leas...

David Interlude

After Susan Abernathy’s body splattered across the rain-soaked asphalt, David Martinez got his first day off in three and a half weeks. Under the same relentless rain, he stepped out of the Union Street skyscraper and wandered aimlessly into the night.

The synthetic fabric of his gray-steel hoo...

Rya had expected a lot of things—mockery, suspicion from the man, maybe even another attempt to rob or kill her! Well, maybe not expected, but…

In any case, she could never have imagined in even the strangest dream that the madman would make her catch crabs.

By sheer luck, the waters of the Lake of Li...

[Castling the Long Way] Chapter 25

It was odd—I’d thought the Headmaster’s office was in one of the towers. But the path led me to the fifth floor, far from the Restricted Section, to the right of the main staircase, and around a corner. There stood a gargoyle statue, life-sized, carved from stone.

“Sherbet lemons,” I said, staring into its bla...

[Prof Umbridge] Chapter 46

The Headmaster laid on the hospital bed, looking nothing like himself—and it wasn’t just the absence of his right arm.

“What do you think, Severus?” Ingebjorg asked as they entered, firmly waving off Madam Pomfrey. “Hold off on your potions, Poppy. Go tend to the Aurors instead—they need them more!”

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 22

“Hey, Ton-Ton, why are you such a munchkin?” I asked my new buddy.

Naruto had been out of it for two days straight, and Tsunade and Shizune kept showing up like clockwork—five or six times a day—with medicine, thermometers, and even an IV drip for the little Uzumaki. Eventually, they just left Ton-Ton here with ...

[My Ending] Chapter 15

Thops found himself standing with his hands raised towards the Sun. No, not the Sun. The Sun. He didn’t remember exactly when he had raised his hands. Was at the start of the battle? Or maybe closer to its end?

It didn’t matter. What mattered was the warm light that now illuminated the untalented so...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 48

Three days after my talk with So Mi, everything was ready for the mission.

The city still hadn’t settled down after our big mess. Business District was crawling with beefed-up police checkpoints, and Arasaka snipers had claimed the rooftops on Union Street. All this fuss because of you, Susan. If I do end up taking ou...

[Prof. Umbridge] Chapter 45

The castle was already adorned with giant pumpkins, grown in abundance by Hagrid (with some "help" from students serving detention). Bats fluttered everywhere, their wings stirring the candle flames in the Great Hall.

Tension was mounting.

The crimson robes of Aurors patrolling the castle shone ominously, an icy f...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 47

That night, Ariq Iqbal and the other news anchors didn’t answer the burning question: did the high-ranking corpo exec survive? I found out the next morning at El Coyote Cojo. Jackie had been bugging me to come by, and I figured it was time to clear my head. I hadn’t slept much, thoughts of our future keeping me awake. Bad...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 21

In my head, the iconic spaghetti western music started playing. You know, the one where two cowboys face off on a dusty street at high noon. All I was missing was boots, the belt with a buckle, a Chuck Norris cowboy hat, and a Colt revolver clenched between my teeth. Or maybe a sword? Nah, the Colt’s cooler.

My oppone...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 20

This is a catastrophe!

An absolute disaster! A nightmare wrapped in a horror show!

I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to lose it! Meoooooowww!!! They’re torturing me! How much longer can this go on?! I can’t remember such chaos!

This never happened before! Never! NEVER!

Am I supposed to just pa...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 19

The Hokage’s office wasn’t half bad—kinda cozy, actually. Big desk, piles of papers and scrolls stacked so high they practically made a nest.

"Tora-chan, are you sprawled out on the reports again?" Kushina-san’s hand started tugging a paper out from under me. I lazily batted at her hand with a paw, playing it co...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 18

It’s weird. In this strange “suspended consciousness” state, life suddenly became so clear and vivid. It was like someone hit rewind on my memories, and I got swept away, completely zoning out from what was happening outside as I relived past events in bright, startling detail. The anime world I’d landed in unfolded l...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 17

"Ah, there you are, Tora-san!" Naruto greeted me like I was his long-lost brother. I jumped up onto his skinny knees.

…Okay, not the best fit—one of my paws was dangling off—but hey, the kid deserved some love. Around him, his friends were sprawled out on the park bench in the Academy’s little playground.

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 16

It felt like the local Ichiraku Ramen spot was straight out of a spy movie—the ubiquitous sketchy diner where undercover agents exchange intel in plain sight. Seriously! A full-on ninja ramen shop. People come in, share “harmless” chit-chat, and old man Teuchi—if that’s even his real name—probably sends it all up ...

Patches was a notorious rogue (though others call him bandit). Perhaps not as infamous as he would have liked, but still, many in the Lands Between had heard of him.

Failure, fool, laughingstock, disgrace of all the Tarnished...

The humor of the Lands Between inhabitants was, for obvious reasons, dubious at best. ...
