《February of 1996》39

The next morning Irena and Fred woke up tired, again having to wake up every three hours.
Ron and Ginny were able to come to St Mungo's hospital and see their nephew Alek.
There was a knock on the door. Fred got up from the sofa where he has been sleeping since the bed Irena was sleeping in was too small for the two of them.
"Welcome, Ronniekins and Ginevra," said Fred, opening the door to his two younger siblings. "Don't call me that," said Ginny walking into the room Ron behind her.
Irena was sitting on the bed holding Alek. She was in a bit of pain, but she already took the potion that Anna gave her yesterday; she was feeling better.
Ginny and Ron got closer to Irena, seeing that she was holding the baby. "Is it a boy," asked Ron looking at his older brother Fred. "Yes, his name is Alek." "Alek," said Ron. The name sounded different, but he liked it. That was the name of his first nephew.
"You want to carry him," ask Irena, moving Alek a little to the front in Ron's direction. "No, no," said Ron moving backwards. "I do," said Ginny, pushing Ron to the side. Fred got a hold of Ron before he fell.
Irena handed Alek to Ginny; she moved Ginny's hands to a better position; that way, Alek was comfortable, and his little head was supported.
Ron got closer to Ginny. He was by her side with his hands behind his back, just looking at Alek. "You can carry him; there's nothing to be scared of," Irena told Ron. Ron was not convinced he didn't want to accidentally drop his nephew. "Maybe later." Ginny got so comfortable carrying Alek that she started to walk around the room with him in her arms.

Ron took a seat on the bed next to Irena. Ginny was walking towards Ron "your turn." "What! Ginny, no, I don't want to." "Come on; I'm going to let him go." "No!," said Fred, Irena, and Ron in unison.
He knew that Ginny wouldn't let him go, but just in case, he got Alek. "See, that wasn't that hard." Ron didn't move; it looked like he didn't even want to breathe. He was paralyzed; he was scared that if he moved, Alek would cry. Fred looked at his brother "you know you can breathe right," he told Ron with his arms crossed. Irena smiled at Ron. A few minutes went by, and Ron got comfortable holding Alek. He didn't get up from the bed, though.
They talked for a few hours until it was time for them to go back to Hogwarts. A healer came into the room. "Good news Mrs. Weasley you can go home tomorrow morning," said the healer looking at Irena's file. Irena was surprised by being called Mrs. Weasley after a few seconds, she responded. "Uhm, thank you." "I just need to see Alek one more time." Fred was carrying Alek; the healer took him.
"Finally, we can go home tomorrow," said Fred. "Are you returning to the shop?" "Not yet Im going to stay with you and Alek for a few more days." Irena smiled at that, "great because I don't think I can take care of him on my own right now. It hurts to walk." "That's normal, remember what Anna said. I can ask for more of that potion before we leave tomorrow."
Irena smiled at Fred as he leaned closer and kissed her on the lips. Irena slowly moved to the side of the bed to leave some space for Fred so he could sit next to her. Fred took a seat and leaned his back against the wall. They were quiet for a few minutes enjoying the silence that these last two days didn't get much of. "We are parents Rena," Fred said, turning to look at Irena. She chuckled lightly, "I can't believe it." "How did this happen," asked Fred, raising an eyebrow. Irena rolled her eyes. "Well, you see, Frederick. There was this Valentine's Day party..."

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

A Gray and Grey world
What if adventurers are not as they seemed. In the tales of old, adventurers were the ones who vanquished the demons and beasts from the land, the ones who sealed the great evil away, the ones who saved the world from destruction and kept peace within the lands. But, what if that wasn't really what happened? What if adventurers are selfish, narcissicistic, and- depending on who you ask- evil. What if they weren't the paragons of good that their history books show. As they say, it is the victors that write history. In this world, this broken world, the true nature of adventurers will be told, unveiled to the masses. In this world, where history has yet to be written, the true heroes will be shown. Or- at least, that's what should've happened. But then again- heroes, villains-... everything is relative to the one who sees it. Everything changes depending on who's perspective... Perhaps the heroes of this story- may not be the heroes that you might think. Author : Hello everyone! I just want you all to know that this is a first time story. I'm the one who's doing the draft, editing, proofreading and revisioning! I do aim to have a chapter up every week or so, thus I look forward to showing everyone the world I created!Editor : ^ Proof Reader : ^

Silver Lucky's Fan Fiction Wubbles
A collection of Reddit's Writing Prompts replies, but only Fan Fiction. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Other potentially expanded. Some are simple, others a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story. Though I hope that some will become more. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Covery by Sharon McCutcheon
