[Mad Tiger] Chapter 47
Shisui made sure Sasuke was okay, a little baffled that he hadn’t noticed his little cousin right away. But then again, he probably hadn’t expected to find him so easily. I can imagine it—sneaking into Sasuke’s apartment, only to find an empty, ice-cold bed that clearly hadn’t been slept in for ages. There were some...

Luna gently pulled my hands away from my face, her touch firm but soothing. I let out a weary breath and leaned my forehead against her shoulder. She didn’t hesitate, just wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close.
“Tell me,” she said, not asking but demanding. And so I did—rushed, stumbling over my words l...

Sellen was undeniably talented: simultaneously managing both her illusion and her true body was nearly impossible for an ordinary person—or even an extraordinary one.
But she wasn’t called the most gifted sorceress in the history of the Raya Lucaria Academy for nothing, was she?
Now that she had a physical bod...

The real fun started when the bike roared into the city. The bolide—dubbed after my terrified ass and Miss Blaze's bony butt—zigzagged through traffic like a bat out of hell. The weaving and jerking were intense enough to make me question my life choices. I only stayed on the bike thanks to the skeletal "rails" that were ...

An EMP grenade. Non-lethal but a complete pain in the ass—especially for someone loaded with chrome like me or Lucy. The moment I saw its casing slide into view through the door, I hit Sandevistan. In the slowed-down time, I had a million things to do. No choice but to nail it all.
I darted away from the door, firing ...

I woke up to someone calling my name.
“Tora-san! Tora-san!”
The window was slightly ajar, which was odd because I remembered Naruto closing it after airing out the room. It was already that awkward local “autumn-winter” season—late November. The temperature had dropped to about 15 degrees (60 F), maybe l...

On Thursday, Potions was our first lesson of the day.
To be honest, I didn’t expect anything good from Snape this year. With Dementors hanging about, everyone in the castle was on edge—irritable, short-tempered, and prone to snapping over the smallest things. Arguments that might’ve blown over in minutes were now ...

[Hydrargyrum] Chapter 14.5 (Interlude)
"Hermione, you're unusually quiet today. You’re not feeling unwell, are you?"
Granger turned away from the passing fields outside the train window and looked directly into her friend's eyes. Whether it was the glasses reflecting the light or just the honest sincerity of his gaze, it was clear the question was genuine,...

“Goodbye, James.”
“See you on the first of September, Miss Granger. As an apprentice, how could I not see off my mentor on such an important day?”
“Oh, come on, that’s unnecessary. People will laugh at me again.”
“Well, that’s their loss. Fools who fail to recognize the importance of the bo...

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of his "laboratory," Kayneth methodically worked through a sequence of spells with his newly acquired wand.
“Aguamenti… Glacius… Leviosa… Diffindo… Evanesco…”
With a measured focus, he conjured a small amount of water in a bowl from a recently purcha...

Power. Oceans of power. The stream of runes flowing into Konstantin was so dense it felt like his body was ready to burst from the sheer energy. Normally, he would instinctively allocate his runes at a Site of Grace, but this time was different. He had to abandon another convention, by assigning… metaphorical stats directly...

I walked over and sat down with the girls, introducing myself. Ellie’s friends were named Kelly and Kendra, and they turned out to be sisters. Two lovely blondes with green and blue eyes, their familial resemblance apparent in their features. They welcomed my company with enthusiasm. Like me, the ladies were drinking whiske...

"Wait, seriously?! Dead?!" I shouted, nearly jumping off the couch, snapping the cigarette I’d just lit in two. “Was there an autopsy? What did it say?”
"All clean, V. They cut her open every which way," Angelica replied. "Three different ripperdocs took a look. It was definitely an overdose. Sure, someone could...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 45
"Remember this, Akamaru: a good soldier stays close to the kitchen and far from the higher-ups," I declared solemnly to the pup.
Ah, teaching bad habits—and enjoying it. While the boys were unpacking, Akamaru and I committed a daring heist, liberating a bag of chips from Choji. We retreated with our spoils to the kitc...

Before the operation, which the boys dubbed "The Bento Mission," I flawlessly executed the neutralization of Akamaru. We bumped into the pup and his blissfully unsuspecting owner, Kiba, on the way to the Academy.
"Hey, kid, got a minute? I’ve got something really cool to show you," I said, oozing intrigue.
Akama...

Man, watching Kiba's brain short-circuit was so satisfying. Two points to me, if we’re counting, including our dramatic first encounter when I arrived in Konoha. That was, what, just over six months ago? Feels like a lifetime.
“Hey, Akamaru, why’re you still so tiny?” I asked the little fluffball, ...

‘Well, if nothing else, seeing Sasuke’s face made Naruto’s neon-orange disaster of a jumpsuit worth it,’ I thought as we met the Uchiha at the crossroads on the way to the Academy. His usual stoic, emotionless expression cracked, leaving him gaping like a fish, eyes wide as if he’d just seen the Daimyo himself drop ...

Maybe the boys just need time to process everything? I mean, it does feel a bit cruel to blow someone’s mind so suddenly. What if the shock was too much? What if Sasuke couldn’t handle it? I’m no doctor or therapist, and I definitely don’t specialize in psychology. It took me weeks to fully remember everything that ha...

When I returned, Lupin was gone, but the compartment was packed with Harry, Neville, Seamus, and Dean. Their loud, animated chatter echoed down the corridor, and I could hear them before I even got close.
The moment I slid the door open, their voices cut off—they must’ve thought Lupin was back. Then, realising it wa...

We pulled up to the bar—nothing fancy, but not a total dive either. It was the kind of place with a small motel attached, designed for people just passing through. In the car, I peeled off the suit and neatly packed it away in the little case alongside the mask, leaving myself in regular clothes and boots. From a distance, ...

“You’ll get used to it… like I did…”
Blaidd was ready to howl at the moon—not willingly or with any pleasure, but out of sheer despair.
Of course, the half-wolf was glad to find a friendly merchant amidst this nightmare (what was he even doing here?!), but the problems weren’t getting any smaller. 2025-01-24 03:40:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Falco stood up and grabbed an extra chair from a nearby table. Lucy sat down beside me, crossing her arms and legs—a body language textbook for "stay the hell away."
"Hey there!" Jackie greeted her with a wave. "This is Lucy, for anyone who doesn't know. She and V are... well, they're together."
"I’ve heard ab...
