Travels and Travails, Pt 2 **[WP] Humanity is the only species that treat "unrealistic" stories like sci-fi and fantasy as a legitimate genre, instead of just something to amuse children that adults no longer need. Because of this, humanity cracks FTL while species much older than us are still stuck in their home system.** ***** "Uh, no," Faust said. "I saw you." "Good," she said. "I saw you too. What do you, Alexander Faust?" "I'm an engine engineer for Boeing-X." "And are…

Travels and Travails, Pt 3 **[WP] Humanity is the only species that treat "unrealistic" stories like sci-fi and fantasy as a legitimate genre, instead of just something to amuse children that adults no longer need.

Travels and Travails, Pt 4 Ophelia had been given a terminal diagnosis after their fifth year anniversary. That's why Faust accepted Nabisco-Kirkland's bargain. In exchange for his theoretical FTL research (a personal project using his company's resources, of course) Nabisco-Kirkland would finance Ophelia's experimental cancer treatments out on Luna. They showed him projections; they all strongly suggested she'd survive--with the treatment. There was nothing to it. The…

Corrupted *I guess it would be nice of me to warn that this is quite a graphic piece from me, and does contain gore scenes. Reader's discretion is advised ;) * [WP] You arrived late. Your town is burning, and the invaders have captured you. You, a priest, start the summoning prayer. "No point in summoning pacifist angels now", they laughed, "there's nothing left to defend". However, they forgot to consider, that Lucifer is also an angel. ***** For three days and three…

Forbidden Love **[WP] You, an ancient vampire have been fighting a family of vampire hunters for centuries who vow to avenge their ancestor whom you killed.

@Ozzyy
The Godmother **[WP] You are an ancient fae being, and as such you know a great many things. What you don't know however is how a mortal couple knows your true name, or why they proclaimed you the 'Fairy Godmother' of their infant child, but you are now contractually obligated to godmother the FUCK out of this kid.** ***** “Beautiful…” Isabella exhaled. And beautiful it was. The place Prince Mikkel brought her – deep into the Darkwoods, hidden out of sight of human travelers…

Traitor **[WP] "The League of Super Heroes can't help but notice," said their representative, "that certain corporations have a say in which supers the government determines are heroes and which are villains. A large say. The League has determined this is not an acceptable arrangement any longer."** ***** “Well?” she said, leaning back on the slatted bench. “Will you help find them? ”You don’t think they’re dead?” I asked. For a woman who didn’t age she suddenly looked all…
@Ozzyy
The Family Heirloom? *Mild Profanity* **[WP] When a person dies, their spirit gets trapped in their most beloved object, granting magical powers to whoever finds it. While cleaning your great-grandma's house, you found her long-lost amulet. An elderly, sweet voice echoes through the empty corridors: "Who wants lasagnas?"** ***** Wisps of wind lazily drifted through the open window of a darkened attic, bringing upon the soft beginnings of morning light. Trees colored red and…
@Ozzyy
Count Obvious **[WP] A vampire has worked at the local 7-11 for the past 5 decades. No one has the heart to call the vampire out or slay them. A little because they're such a good employee, mostly because they think they're doing such a good job hiding the vampirism when they're really not.** ***** “How are the hotdogs, Reginald?” “The unknown meat of beasts has been dormant for a week. If it’s freshness you seek, I suggest coming tomorrow morning.” Reginald didn’t glance…
@Ozzyy
777 **[WP] The lottery is a system secretly put in place so the government can find and capture time travelers and psychics before they cause major problems. As someone who won the jackpot by pure chance, you’re struggling to prove that you are neither of those to the suits that showed up at your door.** ***** It didn't take a genius to know that you weren't going to win the lottery. People explained it in dozens of ways. You were more likely to get struck by lightning twice…
@Ozzyy
showdown **[WP] "Really?" The Dark Lord asked in disbelief, "This is the best the Chosen One can do? Screw it. If we're doing this, we're going to do this properly. I'll train you." 10 years later, your training is complete, but your time spent with the Dark Lord has given you some conflicting feelings.** ***** “You're unreal!” Cried the tall man with horns in front of me “they sent you… to me! You don’t even know how to hold a sword! I almost pity you… actually no I do pity…
@Ozzyy
Blood Ties **[WP] “So how did you get Dragon blood in your veins?” “Ah well, long ago my family was cur-“ “Didn’t you say your family was never cursed?” “Oh uh, yeah um… so uh, there was a witch-“ “Im not buying it.” “*sigh*… so my great grandpa was a bard…”** ***** Tables and chairs of dark stained wood and ashen-covered crevices serviced the likes of friend and foe as family. Many of the patrons of the Lilac Lantern cared only for food and drink. Politics could be left to…
@Ozzyy
the game **[WP] You are the child of a superhero and your boyfriend/girlfriend is the child of their nemesis. Both your parent and theirs are furious at both of you for dating, but the two of you think that your parents' feud is just stupid.** ***** Growing up around supers you get introduced to a concept called 'the game' that's seldom mentioned outside of costumed circles. The game was the cat and mouse between hero and villain, the constant feud that saw the same forces…
@Ozzyy
Possible Threat **[WP] Your supervillain nemesis is little more than goofy comedy relief, always coming up with clunky machines and insane, nonsensical schemes. When a new dangerous villain appeared, your nemesis utterly destroyed them, and then continued on as if nothing happened.** ***** I burst through the wall of the lair. In the main hall, Doctor Destructo sat on her ornate throne. "Ah, Mr. Perfect." She cooed. "What an unexpected surprise." I quickly scanned the room…
@Ozzyy

The villain has a young child with them, who sees the two adults give harsh greetings and small snarky remarks and asks the hero, smiling, if they are going to be their new mom/dad.** ***** Damien really wished he had sabotaged the city marathon.

Phil doesn't deserve that so you're taking him to HR to help file a discrimination complaint.** ***** Phil was... well there's no good way to put this is there? Phil was *unique*, everyone knew, though few ever said anything. That was the effect a tarantula the size of a car tends to have on people after…
@Ozzyy
Hearts of Titanium **[WP] They tell you the war machines aren't sentient, being kind to them does nothing. But at the same time, it seems funny to you that their "priority" targets often seem to be the ones currently shooting at you.** ***** "Captain Grosvenor, Vic...", the Colonel started. "Sir!", Vic shouted before he could get her full name out. She hated the full name, especially in a military setting, but dad had said it was some sort of family tradition for first…
@Ozzyy
Peace? **[WP] “…and that class is why Humans are considered the most peaceful species in the universe.” The only three humans in class looked at each other horrified. All the facts about humans that the aliens had were wrong. One student slowly raises their hand.** ***** "Is this going to be on the test?" Claire asked. "Of course, it will! But I expect you and your friends to have no issues. Don't worry." Claire looked at Tom and David. They weren't her friends. They could…

Kingmaker **[WP] The new king was not crowned by a holy man, nor by another monarch. Instead, he asked you, a commoner, to crown him. This was to represent his dedication to his people. But now everyone calls you"King-maker", to the extent that other nations call upon you for your service.** ***** I, just a skinny orphaned girl, walked into the throne room, not knowing why I was there. A maids hand was on my shoulder. The vaulted ceilings of that grand hall reached up so…
@Ozzyy
House of Dragon ;) **[WP] Usual dragon hoards consist of wealth, books, magical items and the like; you fell in love with a mortal many years ago and started a family, generations later your hoard now consists of your many descendants, that have no idea about you, but you know and protect them nonetheless.** ***** Resting my head upon the tail that wound around me, I peered over the lip of the roof to observe the grounds below. Joyous cries of children at play were carried…

What You Wish For **[WP] Desperate for a child a couple take to the dark arts to seek the dark blessings of the Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, but instead of curing their infertility the eldritch god, not quite understanding the subtleties of human speech, gives them an adorable eldritch horror to raise** ***** Caroline had not told anyone she and Paul were trying for a child because she didn't want her friends and family to picture the two of them, accurately, raw…
@Ozzyy
What You Wish For 2 **[WP] Desperate for a child a couple take to the dark arts to seek the dark blessings of the Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, but instead of curing their infertility the eldritch god, not quite understanding the subtleties of human speech, gives them an adorable eldritch horror to raise** ***** "We're not calling him John France."

"Well, I thought that piece of black silk would make a nice sash! I didn't expect it to explode!" "SILK? YOU... YOU... UGH! It's like you don't have any brains in that skull of yours! I told you…
@Ozzyy
Peace and Conflict **[WP] A group of heroes finally reach the throne room of the Demon Lord, seeking to slay him to end this war, only to see an empty throne that looks like it hadn't been used for centuries.** ***** It had been centuries since the war began. Death and mayhem are unleashed upon the ever-peaceful realms of man from the dark lands of the evil demon lord. Centuries where those with kind hearts were lost, only those with iron wills remained. It is this nature…
@Ozzyy
Reminisce **[WP] The reason we don't remember our previous reincarnations is because most past lives in the pre industrial era were short affairs that often ended before the child even made it to 5, making storing memories frankly a huge waste of time. Now things are changing, people are starting to remember** ***** “I was around my girlfriend’s house meeting her parents for the first time,” says my friend. “I was maybe only seventeen. Anyway, they serve onion soup to start…
@Ozzyy
DIY Wizard **[WP] You've loved magic your whole life but since your family is poor you've had to teach yourself. you're overactive imagination has helped you invent spells all your own. eventually you get a scholarship to a prestigious magic college but quickly find out everyone seems to lack your imagination.** ***** I remember the joy I felt eight months ago when I first received the envelope in the mail. I knew I had gotten it the second I saw it since it was a big…
@Ozzyy
Proposals **[WP] All your life, mythological beings have tried to pick you up. Childhood? Forced adoption. Teenagehood/Adulthood? Marriage. For example, selkies purposefully left their skins where you'd find them; banshees serenade you outside every night. Now at 30, you've learned why you attract them all...** ***** “Do you think I’m beautiful?” She asked, her scissors blocking me from shutting the door.

Ruthless **[WP] You want so badly to be a Hero. But your powers are, frankly, terrifying. Heroes struggle to trust you, and all the older Villains keep trying to mentor you.** ***** The lights right above the circular tables were harsh, but it illuminated all present perfectly.

@Ozzyy
Company **[WP] The demoness looks at the young and disheveled man that summoned. “Can you keep me company?” He asks, “this orbital station is so lonely.”** ***** John was suffocating, drowning in the honey thick words. The frantic sensation lasted but a moment after he finished the incantation. As he hung weightless above the burning pentagram, he felt nothing. He was so desperate, he had resorted to firr code violations to end his loneliness. A spark of black fire,…
