    I'm still reeling from my conversation with Knowledge a few days later. Though 'reeling' might not be the right word. The idea that I am effectively an alien is like a sunken pit in my stomach that refuses to go away. But, perhaps for lack of any other alternative, I am moving on with my life...

    I mean, ask a Hydro Division scientist, and they would claim that the Geo division is full of larpers pretending they are knights and lords. The Thaumaturgical League as a whole doesn't really call themselves "wizards." They are "practitioners." The Hydro division often avoids using the word...

    A Matter of Will

    The fact this particular sub org within in the Hydromancy Division prefers to use scifi terms instead of magic terms is just semantics and culture. They are manifestations of Aeromancy from other realities beyond Gaia. Alien is not an incorrect term. They are dimensional aliens, not space aliens.

    The planned celebration does not happen immediately. Knowledge judges that it is late enough that rest might be preferred to food, and I don't disagree. But, right in the morning we (or rather I) have some chocolate cake. It's otherwise identical to the first one. Well, it is better in one...

    The plane lands on the outskirts of a small town at the foot of a weathered mountain. As soon as I get off the plane I can feel a soft rumbling. I can hear it too. It's late into dusk, and place is not well lit, but my eyes have no trouble seeing into the darkness. "Are you going to call in a...

    The next alien invasion does not, as I had feared, happen instantly. But it doesn't take a month either, as Knowledge said was the norm. Instead, three days after punching a mute alien in the face, I find myself back in that plane, shooting off to who knows where. Knowledge is happily...

    There is cake, and it is good. The cake Knowledge baked for me is a massive thing, four heavy tiers of rich, fluffy chocolate, covered with an abundance of dark chocolate frosting. It's beautifully decorated with little hints of some deep black, buttercream frosting, and topped with a handful...

    My first deployment comes in a rush. Klaxons ring throughout the facility and, before I even have a chance to ask what was happening, I find myself bundled up and tossed in a jet. The countryside zooms away down below me as the plane shoots through the sky. "Testing. Testing. One. Two...

    My 2026 NaNoWriMo project. The goal is to finish this month and get me most of the way to 50k words. Expect relatively frequent updates. The first two chapters are pulled from my old snippet thread.

    It would be a mistake to say that the world is cruel. Cruelty is an action. It is a desire. It is taking something and breaking it with a smile. Cruelty is tearing a toy away from a child. It is shoving somebody down the stairs and laughing. It is ruining someone's life because you want to...

    Im glad you liked them they were fun to write, but very time consuming. I might get back to that specific grad one day if inspiration strikes. There is enough left of even season 1 to have easy material.

    A Struggle of Stags (ASOIAF AU) [COMPLETE]

    Nominally, yes, but the relationship is icy cold and they do the bare minimum while working to recover self sufficiency. The events of the story, and the Regency Council especially, are leading to a decentralized realm, where the king is losing power and the lords are gaining it. Essentially...
