Poppy didn't think that Angelisa was going to be anything like she was, and when she watched the blonde-haired Angel make her way down the corridor toward her, it was as if there was something different about the creature in front of her. There were so many things that Angelisa and her people could teach humans about what was going on in their world, but that wasn't what the woman was there for. She was there to make sure that the Angelic Artifact that they had wasn't going to kill any of them.
The Fallen Angel glanced over all of the S.H.I.E.L.D agents that were in the room for a few seconds before her eyes landed on the dark-haired woman as she stood there. The two of them stood in front of each other for a few moments, neither of them knowing what to say to each other before the blonde-haired woman made her way over toward the lab that they were holding the artifact in. Angelisa's eyes glanced over the artifact for a few seconds, before a small chuckle left her lips.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I remember crafting this artifact," Angelisa spoke as she stared at the device in front of her before she picked it off of the table and she held it in her hands. She tilted it to the side as Poppy stood beside her and she shook her head. The Fallen Angel turned her attention to the other woman for a few seconds, giving her a small smile. "Yes, it's Angelic, to clarify your question."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Yes, but that wasn't our only question when we asked for you to return to Earth," Poppy reminded her as she stared at the woman in front of her, before nodding her head toward the device in front of them. She clenched her jaw for a few seconds before she nodded her head toward it. "Is it harmful?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Angelisa stared down at the artifact for a few seconds, before she placed it down on the table again, turning to face the other woman, "What is it that you hope to use it for? Hmm?" Angelisa questioned her as she folded her arms over her chest. "Because an artifact like that, is not an easy one to manipulate."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Poppy inhaled deeply as she stared at the celestial being in front of her, before nodding her head, "You remember the woman, Fayre Harlow from your last visit," Angelisa nodded her head at the question. "Well, she wishes to remove the immortality that she had bestowed upon herself during the accident that had given her her powers, as well. She has been looking for a way out of it and we believe that this artifact may be able to help her."
Angelisa stared at the woman in front of her for a few seconds, before turning her attention back to the artifact in front of her. She reached over and rested her fingers against the metal of it and she traced them against the symbols that were etched into it. She tilted her head to the side as she stared over her work, before turning her attention back to the other woman in front of her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Immortality is something that most humans wish for," Angelisa pointed out, and Poppy shook her head.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Not Fayre," The dark-haired woman replied as she shook her head, and the Angel furrowed her brows as she stared at her. It was easy for Poppy to see that the other woman didn't understand why she wouldn't wish for immortality, but she just wanted the Angel to help them in their time of need. Seeing as she said that she would do just that. "Please, just tell me that this will help us."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A few moments passed as the Angel glanced back to the artifact, before turning her face back to Poppy, "It will work, it will just take time. No harm will come to Fayre, seeing as it was an artifact that was designed to cure most ailments that my Father had thrown into the world. It should be able to take away her immortality, as well as any other powers that were forced on any of the Avengers. Just . . . be careful."
The Fallen Angel stared at the woman in front of her for a few seconds, before making her way out of the room, leaving Poppy alone with the device. Poppy turned her attention over to the artifact and she clenched her jaw as she stared at it. She was grateful that it would be able to take away the immortality that Fayre had, but she was worried that it would to more than that. She was worried that it would do so much more harm to her, even if the Fallen Angel said that it wouldn't.
When it came to magic, there were always consequences, and that was something that she had learned. There was always something that could go wrong, and she was hopeful that the Fallen Angel would stay and help guide them through what it's as that Fayre was going to have to do to wipe her immortality away. Fayre wanted to be free from the immortality, but she still wished to use the powers that she had gained on that day when her lab had exploded.
Poppy inhaled deeply as she took one last glance at the Angelic Artifact before she began to make her way out of the lab. She knew that she was going to have to inform Fayre of everything that Angelisa had said to her. But something made her believe that the other woman was already going to be well informed on everything that had been told to her already.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.
