《The Snake In My Dreams》Ch. 18

"Hi, Lo-Lo~!"
"Ah, Remus." Logan mumbled, not taking his eyes away from his computer.
It had been about a week since Janus and Roman's date, and Remus had been informed by Janus that they were having another one in a couple of days.
"Did you need something?" Logan asked, glancing over at him briefly before snapping his eyes back to the screen.
"Yeah," Remus hummed, plopping down on Logan's bed. "Whatcha working on?"
"I'm proofreading Roman's script for the next skit." Logan murmured.
"Proofreading? What's that?"
"You're joking, correct?" Logan rose a brow, looking over at him. Remus tilted his head, but didn't reply. "You seriously don't know what proofreading is?"
"Well, sorry." Remus snorted. "Enlighten me, Wise Guy. What is proofreading?"
"To put it simply," Logan sighed, looking back at the computer. Remus walked over to Logan, and looked at the computer over his shoulder. "I'm checking for any errors in Roman's transcript."
"Errors?"
"Grammatical errors, logical errors, things of that calibre." Logan mumbled, typing something. "If I spot one, I fix it. It's as simple as that."
"Oh! Like when I said I wanted to deep throat the Eiffel Tower and you said 'that is not physically possible' all serious like!" Remus chirped.
"Exactly like that." Logan hummed, nodding slightly. He finished typing, and spun his chair around to face Remus. "So, what can I do for you?"
"So, remember when I asked you about a plan for splitting a couple up?" Remus smirked. "I have a little update on that."
"Oh joy." Logan grumbled. "And what is it?"
"Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that someone tried to stop you from doing this plan. What would you do?" Remus asked.

"Stop me? Explain how they would go about doing that." Logan rubbed his chin, and Remus could tell he was thinking. "Are they physically trying to stop me, or preventing my plan?"
"The latter."
"I would continue with my plan, paying them no mind." Logan shrugged, crossing his arms. Remus rose a brow, tilting his head.
"That's not what I expected. Why would you do that?" Remus rose a brow.
"As long as I can outsmart them, or finish my plan before they can do any real harm, they won't be of any harm." Logan turned back to his computer. "Is that all?"
"Outsmart them, huh?" Remus mumbled, crossing his arms. "Yeah, I think that's all. Thanks Lo-Lo!"
"You are welcome." Logan nodded, beginning to type something. Just as Remus was about to sink out, Logan suddenly turned back to him. "Oh, Remus! Before you leave..." He trailed off, pursing his lips.
"...yes?" Remus asked, raising a brow.
"Actually, nevermind." Logan shook his head, turning back to his computer. "Have a nice day, Remus."
"I'll try not to!" Remus chirped, sinking out.

"Roman!"
Roman whipped around, spotting Virgil walking towards him. "Hmm? What is it, Hot Topic?"
"Roman, there's something I have to tell you." Virgil told him, crossing his arms. "It's about Remus."
"My brother?" Roman asked, giving Virgil his full attention. "Is he alright? Did something happen?"
"He's fine." Virgil shook his head.
"Then can it wait? I have to get ready for my date--" Roman slapped a hand over his mouth. "Uh, I mean--"
"Chill, I already know." Virgil rolled his eyes. "And speaking of which, Remus--"
"Wait, what? Who told you?" Roman asked, furrowing his brow. "Was it Janus? I thought he wanted to keep it a secret?"

"No, I--it doesn't matter!" Virgil crossed his arms. "Listen, Remus has--"
"I'm sorry, Virgil. I really must be going." Roman shot him an apologetic smile.
"But--Roman--"
"Sorry!" Roman briskly walked away, causing Virgil to frown.
Virgil huffed, crossing his arms.

"Did you talk to him?" Patton asked the second Virgil popped into the common room.
"I tried to." Virgil grumbled, slumping onto the couch next to Patton. "He kept interrupting me."
"Aww, that's alright. We can tell him later." Patton hummed, leaning his head against Virgil's chest.
"That's what you said last time." Virgil frowned. "And the time before that."
"It's a wonder how Roman manages to stay so busy."
"I'm tired of counting on 'later,' Pat. Roman deserves to know now. It's his relationship!" Virgil sighed.
"I know, Virge. But if Roman has somewhere else to be, then we can't stop him." Patton sighed. "Just relax. It'll all turn out fine."
"Relax? You're aware of who you're talking to, yes?" Virgil asked. Patton giggled, and Virgil couldn't help a fond smile from finding its way to his face. "Ugh, fine. You're lucky you're cute."
"That's the spirit, Vee! Now, let's go stop Remus!"
---
"Perfect." Roman sighed, looking at his creation.
He was stood in the center of a large, elegant ballroom. Aside from Roman, no one else was present.
He had provided a chocolate fountain (making sure to taste test the hell out of it.) He wanted to make up for the last date, it had been eating him alive.
"Roman?"
He turned around, spotting Janus standing there. He looked nervous, but happy to be there.
"Hey!" Roman chirped, walking over. "I remember you told me once that you learned ballroom dancing." Roman smiled.
"No way! We're going to--" Janus smiled brightly, and Roman couldn't help but grin too.
"Yup! I know you don't like crowded spaces, so it'll be just the two of us." Roman offered Janus a hand. "So, may I have this dance?"
"You may." Janus chuckled, taking his hand.
Neither noticed Remus, hiding underneath the table with the food on it.

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

The day they became Mortal
Paladins and Vampires have always been sworn enemies. While the Paladins were blessed with the power of Apollo, made to heal and to wield the power of light itself, the vampires were immortal beings with heightened senses, strength and speed. For centuries the two lived in general peace, while the paladins built their kingdom Appollis, the vampires resided in the sanguine lands of Sareth. All changed however when an unknown paladin poisoned the special water supply of the vampires with Blackrye, a plant that to the vampire's horror removed their right to eternal life. No longer protected from illness or the relentlessness of time the vampires were forced to indulge in more blood. Soon enough a war broke out between the two kingdoms, a war that would cost the life of King Barron of Appollis and the sanity of Queen Diana of Sareth. Their heirs were too young to ascend the throne, forcing the two kingdoms to hastily form a truce until both princes were old enough to rule their lands. Five years after the blood war Arrin of Appollis and Ophyr of Sareth rule their respective kingdoms, despite having been kings for a few years and heavily disliking each other due to their past, they decided to keep the truce in place. What happens however when Arrin decides to kidnap the vampire king after he unfortunately stumbled upon Appollonian terrain?
