Jane pov...
It doesn't take long before there is a knock on the door. Ma opens the door to let whoever is there in. Frankie sees me first and stops walking. He says "Janie?"
Korsak and Frost walk around him to see me. I say "surprise"
Korsak asks "are you home now?"
I nod and say "yeah the results show no sign of cancer and I have finished the course of treatment so they consider me in remission. I have to to tests every now and then but otherwise I'm finished at the hospital"
They all hug me and say congratulations. Ma gets everyone something to drink and there is another knock on the door and I open it to let Riley in.
She joins us sitting down on the couch. I explain to them everything about all the tests and what happens next with me.
Korsak asks "when do they think you can go back to work?"
I say "they said to see how I feel in a months time. I need to see how my strength in and requalify for the tests to make sure I am up to the standards to be back at work"
They nod and we talk about work and things that have been going on to catch up. Frost ask "Jane we never asked about you and Riley but what's the story there. It came as a surprise to us, I was going to ask but everything with you happened and I was waiting for you to get better"
Riley and I look at each other and laugh, I say "I knew this was coming, Riley and I started dating in high school. We were both sixteen and got put together on a few projects in class, we started talking and the more we spent time together the more we liked each other and one day we kissed each other which lead us to talking about our feelings and we decided to be girlfriends. We kept it a secret because we didn't want to be judged at school and didn't know how our parents would react"

Ma interrupts to ask "what do you mean you didn't know how I would react? I have always supported you Janie"
I say "I know ma but we are catholic and when I was sixteen I didn't want you to hate me"
She hugs me and says "oh Janie, you know I love you always"
I say "I know ma, I love you too"
Frankie asks "what happened between you two?"
Riley looks down and I say "Riley it's okay it was a long time ago"
She smiles and says "thanks Jane"
The others looked confused so I say "I caught Riley kissing someone else and we got in a big fight. We had just turned eighteen and had graduated high school so we broke up never planning to see each other again"
Maura asks "how are you friends now?"
Riley says "I was surprised about that too. I showed up at the precinct to see Jane and she had forgiven me as we were kids. We caught up and got drunk together and got back to being friends just before Hoyt"
It takes them some time to process everything so we sit in silence until Frankie asks "I'm confused you dated Riley and then only guys, are you into guys now?"
I shake my head and say "I'm into both guys and girls, it's just whoever I find attractive"
We continue to catch up and have friendly conversations and have dinner before I start getting tired and the others go home.

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.

8 131Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
8 143Honey, I'm home! [HIATUS]
An unusual reincarnation story. Brian finds himself alive again, but his new life is really weird. He just wants to live, though, so despite all shortcomings he'll just keep trucking along. Heavy gore warning. Also bad puns occasionally. Be warned. Releasing one chapter a week, but I can't specify the day. Busy work you know.

Can she really be one of them? Will they ever find her family, or did she make the best one for herself, already? When her stupid grandmother starts to bargain her future 'for the better of the flock,' things go all the right kinds of wrong [1st person, switching POV] [Book is completed and being edited] Cover art by Damien Birdyboi @BirdyBoiWonder on twitter Calligraphy by Sadcat SadCat#0732 on discord
