《Sticks and Stones • Spideypool ✓》chapter 6

Peter passed me in the hall. I wave at him and say "hey kiddo!" He ignored me. The kid went into his room without a word and slammed his door shut.
I make my way into the kitchen where Tony sat head in his hands. Steve was behind him, rubbing his back and whispering in his ears.
"What's up with the kid?" Tony swirls around. He looked pissed. "None of your concern Barton." He snapped. Jeez what the hell happen here. "Steve. Care to tell me why Tony is being more of a dick than usual?" Steve looked at me with a weak smile, soon replaced by a frown. "Peter got into a fight at school." He stated.
Poor kid. He has told me about Flash. He didn't want his Dads finding out, but I guess they know now. "Want me to talk to him?" Tony looked at me desperately. "Please."
I nodded and headed back down the corridor. I stopped outside Peter's room and knocked on the door. A grumble came from within. "Peter it's me, Uncle Clint. Wanna talk buddy." After a moment the door clicked and slowly opened.
I was greeted by a slightly red, tear stained face. He steps back allowing me into his room. I enter and sit on his bed. I pat the space next to me. Peter joins me, resting his head on my shoulder.
"What happened with Flash?" I say, genuinely concerned for this kid. He means a lot to me.
"He caught me as I was leaving school. He punched me in the stomach first. Then tackled me to the ground. The others started kicking me, Flash went for the head." He gestured to a large bruise forming on the side of his face. "I tried getting up, but they had me pinned. But then a-" he cut himself off. His face went slightly pink.

"What happened Peter?" I say, curious.
"The new guy punched Flash in the face." I couldn't help but laugh. Peter had told me about this new guy the first day he met him. I gently poke his side and he giggles.
"The new guy huh? What's his name?" Peter laughs properly at that.
"Wade." He said, with an almost lustful tone. I chuckle at the lovestruck teen. I remember that feeling.
"You should talk to him tomorrow." Peter looked at me with wide eyes. "Are you kidding. He probably hates me."
"Peter he punched a guy for you."
"Yeah and that's probably got him suspended. He has only just got here and because of me he will be in trouble." I mean the kid does have a point. But I am not going to let him give up on a cute ass boy.
"Peter-" I say smiling. "Just talk to him."
"Okay. I will talk to him." He says, exasperated. I nod triumphantly before getting up. I head for the door. Before leaving, I look at Peter and say, "You know who else you should talk to. Your dad."
Without giving him time to answer me, I leave, shutting the door behind me.
Am I the best uncle or what!

The Cursed Heart
Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come. Things look bad, but there’s hope — the world’s most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family. Most importantly, they can teach him to control his curse, to avoid ever hurting anyone else. It sounds far too good to be true, but what other option does he have? Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead? Chapters are posted in advance on the Curse Words website. Our Discord.

What would an anime be like from the perspective of a background character?From birth, Reikawa Yuuya has had the ability to see the character arcs of the people around him, a skill passed down through his family. Combined with his extremely low presence, Yuuya is in the perfect position to be an observer in countless stories.The thing is, though, the humans in this city aren’t people. Not to him.And he’s afraid of what they can become.(Disclaimer: This is a psychological drama. Yuuya starts the story off with severe psychological and emotional trauma that only decays as the story proceeds. If you're looking for a witty meta story with a cool power-fantasy MC, this isn't it.)Also on Wordpress at zerovisible.wordpress.com
8 138Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
