《Out With The Old, In With The New》Prologue
Advertisement
Inside the Dupain-Cheng bakery three girls are sitting around in Marinette's room.
Lila: So, we all know the plan right?
Chole: Yup!
Marinette: Yeah, I'm the Adrien crazy, fashion designer in the making, baker's girl.
Chloe: I'm the spoiled, rich, jealous, daddy's girl that has changed and is Mare-bare's new bestie.
Lila: And I'm the lying, manipulative little bitchy brat.
Marinette: Are you sure that this is the best idea? They are nice-
Chloe: To your face. They talk so badly about you behind your back.
Lila: Not to mention they make you babysit their siblings, organize all the school trips and events, and make sure everyone has the things that accommodate to their personal needs.
Chloe: She's right y'know. When was the last time we got to hang out like this all because you had to cancel?
The harder she thinks about it, the more she realizes that they're right. She's been neglecting them, because e everyone elected her to do so much for them.
Marinette: I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you guys away! I-I just didn't realize-
Lila: That they were taking advantage of your generosity?
She nods and starts crying as Chloe goes to hug her.
Chloe: It's ok Mare-bare. You have a good heart, but sometimes you forget to think with your head.
Lila: It really is cool, we just missed hanging out with you.
Marinette: I missed you guys too. And I'm sorry, again.
Chloe: We forgive you, girl!
Lila: Really!
Marinette: You guys are the best!
Chloe drags Lila into the hug, and they all fall onto the floor and start laughing again.
Sabine: Girls, I brought you some fresh baked cookies.
Chloe: Cookies!
She jumps up and takes a cookie off the tray.
Lila: Chloe, what do we say?
She asks in a stern tone of voice.

Chloe: Oops sorry! Thank you, Mrs. Dupain-Cheng!
Sabine: You're welcome. Lila, you're welcome to stay with us anytime you know. You as well Chloe.
Lila: I know, I just really wouldn't wanna impose.
Marinette: You wouldn't be imposing! We're basically sisters! My room is your room.
Chloe: You can stay at the hotel too!
She explains while shoving another cookie in her mouth.
Lila: Thank you...
Marinette: Thanks for the cookies Mama.
Sabine: You're welcome sweetie. Have fun girls, and don't stay up too late, it's a school night.
Marinette: Yes Mama.
Mrs. Dupain-Cheng goes back to the bakery leaving the girls with the tray of cookies. Chole starts scrolling through Instagram trying to find something interesting, when she comes across something that makes her eyes go wide.
Marinette: You ok Chlo?
Chloe: You remember those 3 boys from 2 years ago that had a total playboy status?
Lila: You mean Luke Rivera, Jason Storm, and Kacey Arcs?
Chloe: Yeah, them!
Marinette: Don't tell me...
Chloe: Jason's Insta says that they're coming to Paris! And they're staying permanently!
Marinette: Oh my god!
Lila: Just great! Now I have to deal with Luke!
Marinette: Luke? Try dealing with Kacey!
Chloe: Luke and Kacey? You're forgetting about Jason!
Lila: Ugh! They are so egocentric!
Marinette: Right!? Kacey is kinda cute though...
Chloe: Mari, are you hearing yourself? He's a player!
Marinette: No, no! You're right! You're right!
Lila: Let's just see what happens when we do this thing.
Chloe: Everything will be ok. All we gotta do is stick together.
Marinette: Yeah! Besties for life!
Lila: Besties for life!
Chloe: Besties for life!
They do their signature fist bump and piece sign, and get ready for bed thinking of what's going to happen once they set the plan in motion.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
