'Officer Webber' You say sadly as you answer the door.
'Daisy. Are you ready?' He holds out an arm for you and you gulp before you take it. He leads you over to the patrol car, opening the door for you. You give a warm Thankyou and step inside. As the door closes on you you feel your breath hitch a little. Today was the day.
The drive to the courthouse was silent for a while. You leaned your head against the window and stared out as you pass the houses.
'So, I've been listening to Captain America's speeches on the radio...' Officer Webber tries to make conversation.
A smile spreads across your face as you hear his title. 'He seemed like a great man, when I met him' Officer Webber continues.
You turn tour head to him. He was focused on the road, two hands on the wheel. Driving at a nice and easy pace.
'No doubt about it' You say back sweetly.
'How long is he away for?'
You sigh. 'Sorry I didn't mean...'
'No' You stop him apologising. 'It's fine. Seven more weeks. Unless....' You stop yourself a moment. 'Unless they get called to war...' You gulp as you say the words.
'Well. He's pretty much indestructible now isn't he? Super soldier their calling him'
You chuckle a little but it's from nerves. 'Yeah...yeah...'
You pull up to the courthouse and Officer Webber turns to face you. 'Are you sure you're up for this?'
You take one more breath and close your eyes. All you can see is Steve and Bucky cheering you on.
'Im up for it' You say back sincerely.
(ONE HOUR LATER)
You take a deep breath and knock on the door. You swallow your pride and clench your fists. You had to do this.

' W-what're you doing here?' Peggy answers the door to see you standing there.
'My mother was just charged with assistance to murder' You blurt out.
Peggy frowns. 'I'm sorry?'
'Me too. Because at first I thought you had killed my father. Turns out it was her new husband. They've just got a warrant out for his arrest'
Peggy looks at you confused. 'Why're you telling me this?'
As your eyes meet you feel your stomach churn. 'May I come in?' You ask as politely as you can.
Peggy goes to say something but stops herself before pushing the door open further.
You step into the hallway and she leads you down to a living room. It was the complete opposite of minimalistic. A large grandfather clock in one corner of the room and a shelf of antique plates stacked high in the other.
'Wow...' You look around shocked.
Peggy clears her throat and that's when you realise you were gawking.
'So now I'm free of suspected murder. What do you want?' Peggy tries to stand her ground.
'I need your help' You say back bluntly. Peggy scoffs and you raise your eyebrows.
'Daisy. You were the reason I was fired'
'Correction. I believe you were the reason I was fired'
'Daisy...'
'No. Just listen. You're going to help me, or I get Steve to press charges'
'For what?!'
'Sexual harassment'
'You can't be serious?'
You give her a small smirk and you see the colour drain from her face. 'Try me'
'Okay...okay...what do you need?'
'The serum' You say back plainly.
'I-I'm sorry?'
'The serum. I want the serum'

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Sensus Wrought
Three millennia past, Gods descended and gave the world sensus. With their gifts came their primordial clash of notions, and so began the wars. Once, there was a place war dared not touch. Once, Evergreen was a haven for all the miscellaneous souls who did not care for the glory of their divine rulers. Once, for when Merkusian, Emporer of Evergreen, was slain, his empire fell into the hands of his widow and children, and thus morphed into the very thing he sought to protect his denizens from, twisting into a warmongering empire the likes of which had never been seen. Aki is stuck. Stuck in and as a Mud. He knows that'll change. Death or power will bring him rescue. Until then, he'll have to survive the road his ambition has chosen for him. It is a perilous path fraught with danger. Some might say it's an impossible path. He’d disagree. Knite is stuck. Stuck in a mask of his own creation. He knows that'll change. Time and opportunity will come and then he'll be free. Free to seek the revenge he so craves. He's never wanted anything more. His family introduced him to pain. He didn't much like their meeting—at first. His kin would rue that day, for he's made pain a friend.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
