《Fragile Minds ━━ C. DANVERS ✓》eighteen.

She felt as if she was still very repetitious with her thoughts about Carol Danvers, and she wondered if there were things that needed to be done. She wondered if it was concerning how much she thought about the woman that she had been so focused on since she had left, but it had been years since the woman had left. Poppy knew that she had been affected by the cosmic woman and that she would've done whatever it was that she could in order to be with the woman that had gone off to help the Skrulls from the Kree, but she wished that she would've been able to help her with anything that it was that she could.
Poppy found herself lying in bed as she stared up at the ceiling above her before a heavy sigh left her lips and she glanced over toward her desk in the room. The woman threw the covers off of her chest and she made her way over toward the desk and she stared down at the top drawer and she pulled out the device that the woman had crafted for her,s something that Carol had given to her to use in order for the two of them to use if they wanted to talk. Poppy clenched her jaw as she stared down at the device, and she knew that it would only work every so often, and for only so long.
But she had to try to use it, she just had to try.
A heavy sigh left her lips as she grabbed onto the device and she made her way out onto the balcony that connected to her bedroom and she sat outside as she held onto the device. Poppy stared down at the screen for a few seconds as she pressed the button for a few seconds before she listened as it began to go off in attempts to connect with Carol as she sat out on her balcony. Of course, she didn't know what time it was for the woman on the planet that she was on, and she hoped that the woman was awake and that she wasn't waking her up.

And just when she thought that the woman wasn't going to answer, the connection was made and Carol's face appeared.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I was wondering when I was going to get a call from you," Carol spoke as she stared at the other woman through the projection, and Poppy gave her a smile. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, and Poppy's smile grew as she stared at her, and Carol shook her head. "What's up? How's everything going on Earth?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Everything's going well . . . Nick is the man in charge and he's still doing a very good job at telling everyone what to do and I'm taking good care of Goose," Poppy replied to her, and that brought a large smile to Carol's lips as she stared at the woman. The two of them continued to stare at each other for a few seconds before Poppy let out a sigh. "How is everything with the Skrulls?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A heavy sigh left her lips as she stared at the woman in front of her, "It's been difficult, but I think that I've been making progress with it all. The Kree aren't standing down from being the horrible people that they are, but I think that I'm going to be able to find a home for them," Poppy nodded her head as she stared at the blonde-haired woman, before she tilted her head to the side. "What time is it there for you? it has to be late."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Poppy glanced over her shoulder to the alarm clock on her nightstand and she let out a sigh, "Around three o'clock," she answered and Carol pressed her lips together as she stared at her and Poppy shrugged her shoulders as she stared at her for a few seconds. "I know, I know, I should be asleep, but I couldn't. I do wish that we would be able to talk more often."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I do, too," Carol replied to her as she gave her a small smile before Carol snapped her head over her shoulder to answer someone that had entered the room. Poppy could tell that there was something that was bothering Carol, but the blonde let out a heavy sigh as she glanced back over to the other woman. "I have to go, there's something that I have to fix, but I promise I'll figure out a way that the two of us can find a better way to talk . . . and hopefully, find a way to meet up again. I'd love to talk face to face again."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I would, too,"
Poppy sat on her balcony for a few seconds as she stared down at the device and she pressed her lips together for a few seconds before she tilted her head against the wall. Her eyes glanced up to the sky and she stared up at the moon for a few seconds and wondered where it was in the universe that Carol Danvers was. She wanted to know where it was that she was and how it was that the two of them would've been able to see each other again.
But she knew that their lives were so much more different than they had been when they had first met. They were no longer the pilots they were when they were in the air force and they were now living lives, that neither of them would've ever thought that they would ever be living now. Poppy just wished that she would've been able to say some things to Carol before the woman had left to help the Skrulls.
Though that was just the way things were, and she was going to have to wait and see how they were going to pull through all of the complications of their relationship.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading! Cover art (fullsize): Forgotten World Coliseum, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli.

Emancipation - An Isekai Story
When they tell you 'a hero was summoned'. Do they expound on what it takes to truly be moved? Does it make sense to rip a hole within reality into another dimension, to a planet billions of galaxies away, and accurately transport a single person(s)? No, well truth be told, it takes a whole lot to summon anyone so far away, maybe it might take an attempt in summoning of a Dark God, to transport him. Then again they never tell you about what it means to travel between Dark Matter. Or what horrors exist there. Cover by Red Bluebery! I am a new writer, I am trying to find my style of writing. So please have patience. If you see any grammatical errors let me know and I will work to fix them. If you have any criticism please Pm me. or leave a detailed review, not just a single star!
