《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》Squid's House
Advertisement
Izzy's PoV:
We walked up to the door of Squid's house, Sqaishey still had her arm around me (she hadn't let go the entire time), I would never of found this by myself. Squid's house was massive, the driveway was huge and his garage was huge too, I assumed that's where his cars were.
When we got to the door Nicole walked in front and handed Marley's lead to Sqaishey so she could unlock the door. Just as she did from behind us came a scream. We all spun around to see a two girls, they looked extremely spoilt. One of them was dressed in all pink in very expensive clothes. The other, actually didn't look that spoilt, she was in jogging trousers, like me, and a simple T-Shirt. They ran up the drive towards us. "Urmm, who are you?" Nicole asked. "Well, I wouldn't want to tell you!" She said back to Nicole. I was shocked. I walked up to the girl and said, "what's your problem with Nicole?" She looked shocked at first but she quickly regained her composure. "Well," she said, "I believe that Squid deserves better, you idiot." She said turning to Nicole. At that, Nicole ran in crying. I stepped closer to the girl so I faces where only inches apart and said quietly, "Don't you dare hate on Nicole, especially when she is here to see it!" Amy ran in after Nicole as I said this. The girl opened her mouth to talk but the other girl stepped in, pulling the girl away. "I'm really sorry about my sister." The other girl said, she didn't sound anything like as posh as her sister. "We are both massive fans of you," She said turning to Sqaishey, "and by the way I'm Chloe and this is Katie." She said pointing to her sister. Katie then turned to me, "And who are you?" I just stood there if I said who I was I would just get loads of hate. Just at the right moment Squid came out, "She's my second cousin," He said. Squid walked past me and up to the girls, "I'm really sorry about my sister and what she said to Nicole." Squid looked at Sqaishey and she nodded to say that Chloe was telling the truth and that it had only been Katie. "In that case," Squid said turning back around, "get out of my driveway," He said to Katie. "What! Can't I have a picture?!" Katie said. Squid pulled a pen out of his pocket and grabbed her jacket and signed it. "Will that do?" Squid said. I had never seen him so angry. Katie made a noise that I didn't think was possible before storming out of the drive. "Sorry, I probably shouldn't have done that." Squid said turning to Chloe who was laughing. "Don't be. She always gets what she wants so she will just get another one."

While Squid was talking to Chloe me and Sqaishey went into the house. Sqaishey led me into the kitchen where Nicole was sitting at the table crying. When I came in she turned around, looked at me, got up and hugged me. At first I was in shock but then I hugged back. "Thank you. For saying that to that girl," She said letting go. "Amy told us what you said to her." Wait, us? I looked around the room. This was a site that I had wished for all my life and now I was really seeing it. Around the room stood Sqaishey, Amy, Stampy, Netty, Tom and Ash. "Oh my God." I said. I was in shock. "So guys this is Izzy. The girl I was telling you about." Squid had come up behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "It's nice to meet you Izzy!" Stampy said. I only managed a small noise that sounded a bit like a hello. They all laughed. "Anyway," Sqaishey said walking over to me, "We need to sort your lip out." I hadn't realised until now that my lip was still bleeding after Craig and his gang got me. Sqaishey told me to sit down while she went to get the first aid kit. Everyone else apart from Squid went into the living room. Squid sat down next to me. "I know your in care." I was surprised but I guess it made sense, Adam would've said something to Squid while we were in hospital. I looked at the floor. "And I know you and Flo ran away and I'm pretty sure that is what you did again today." I nodded. Squid pulled me into a hug. This is what I would've wished for forever but I couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I was a care kid and there was nothing I could do about it.

The Menocht Loop
Ian Dunai thought he was powerless. He’s not alone: only a small percent of the population have high enough affinities to perform magic.

AOT: Boats
I know, the title doesnt seem to make sense. Its an acronym. For what? Hm. T means True. Up to you otherwise. Oh, right. The acronym actually does have an impact on one of the themes of the "story". At the same time I mixed it up with a reference to the original plan for this when I started, so yay. A double. Well, actually, a triple. Again, up to you. I should also mention that, as the rhyme that starts the story probably tells you, its gonna get kinda disturbing. All kinds of disturbing. Just to let you know.

Making a difference
Harry Potter FanFiction: Hannah Longbottom liked to watch the people who entered the Wizarding World via the small, walled courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron for a reason: During her not so long life, she had learned about three different boys who had entered the Wizarding World alone, leaving behind a life so horrible she could barely imagine. One of them, who became a friend of hers, had gone through great hardships to become a hero, one of the greatest wizards the Wizarding World had ever seen. One of them, who had been her teacher, had become cold and bitter, and no one had ever recognized what amazing talents he could have offered, until it had been too late. One of them, the monster she had helped to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, had become the most dreaded, most dangerous, and most deadly man Great Britain had ever seen, and yet it could have all been different, if someone had just tried to make that difference early enough in that life, if he had not boarded the train to Hogwarts all alone. Already posted at Devianart and AO3, I've included a link to RoyalRoad on my profiles there.

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
