《You're an Asshole (but a cute one) [Destiel AU]》What an Asshole.

"That'll be $66.06 please." Castiel spoke in a monotone voice over the checkout counter. He placed the last of the items in the plastic bag and nudged it forward so the customer could reach, waiting for her to pay. She smiled gratefully and took the groceries but he did not smile back.
He was bored, annoyed and not in a good mood. He'd woken up, as the expression goes, "on the wrong side of the bed." this morning. He didn't feel like smiling that day and so he didn't. He did his job and endured the few hours left in which he had to put up with in this wretched grocery shop job of his.
A man walked through the door and grabbed a basket from the neatly stacked pile before scanning the room with his eyes, looking over the selection of foods and putting it on the ground. Right next to the pile he'd just pulled it from. It was just sitting there untidily as he walked over to the vegetable section. Cas rolled his eyes, annoyed at this man's laziness, moving from his checkout to place it back on top of the stack.
The supermarket wasn't totally busy, only two checkouts open and three customers roaming around. It wasn't a large supermarket either, more of a corner store but with fresh produce as well as other items. Cas let his eyes follow the lazy man as he picked up almost every single lettuce until he found the right one, getting his fingers all over the non-worthy ones.
Castiel's frustration grew the more he watched the man, the little things he did made Cas want to throw something at the guy's face. It was a pretty face he had to admit, but it was annoying the hell out of him.

He leaned against the counter waiting for a customer to show whilst still watching him, becoming more and more frustrated as time went by. He was roaming the alcohol aisle now, searching for the beer. He looked at the lettuce in his hand before suspiciously looking back over his shoulder, unaware of Castiel's eyes he placed it on the shelf, grabbing a box of beer and walking into the next aisle. Castiel fumed, how hard was it to put things back in their rightful place?
Castiel grabbed the "Sorry, next checkout please." sign from the end of the conveyer belt and set it in view. Walking over to the dark blonde in a flurry he stomped his foot down when he stood beside him, realising the man was much taller than he'd anticipated.
"Excuse me." Castiel said crossing his arms, glaring slightly. "That's not where the lettuce goes, if you could please return it that would be helpful." He huffed, biting his lip in frustration when the man just smiled, walking away. Castiel grew mad. He followed the guy in the leather jacket, tapping his broad shoulder and crossing his arms again.
"I said excuse me, but you've misplaced the lettuce and don't deny it I saw you doing so, this is not a great day for me so please just-"
"How 'bout you put the lettuce away for me and I buy this box of beer eh?" He interrupted, displaying a cocky grin on his face. Castiel frowned, folding his arms tighter across his chest.
"Sir, you can't just leave a lettuce lying in the beer aisle-"
"Well then you better pick it up, sir." He mocked with a wink, walking past Castiel and back to the checkout counter where Cas was supposed to be working.

He had to count to ten in his head before he could regain his cool, picking up the lettuce and returning it to its rightful spot. He strode over to the checkout counter where the man was waiting, beer on the conveyer belt and wallet in hand.
"It does say next checkout you know." Castiel scowled, removing the sign and scanning the box for the rude man.
"I know, but I was hoping you'd scan this for me-" he glanced at his name tag "-Castiel, and maybe we could go for drinks sometime after." The man winked again and Castiel's cheeks turned red as he glared.
"I'm refraining from saying what I really feel as I need this job and prefer not to be fired, so as I can't speak my mind... here's your beer and your receipt." He pulled off the paper and handed it to leather jacket. "And have a nice day." Castiel sarcastically smiled and nodded out the door for him to leave. The guy shook his head slightly smirking, grabbing his box and leaving without a glance behind him.
Castiel frowned as he left, glad he only had one more hour before he was off the clock. That guy really was an asshole. A cute one, but still an asshole.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
