《The Assistant | Pietro Maximoff x Reader》Chapter 28
Advertisement
The party was awesome. It was at the Avengers' Tower, and all of the people from the battle were invited. I spoke to Gamora and Carol a lot, listening to their intergalactic stories. Valkyrie came over to talk and started flirting with Carol, who choked on her drink when she realised. I grinned at the pair and let them speak and headed over to Strange.
"I don't think I've thanked you yet," I said. "For saving Vision, I mean."
The doctor inclined his head.
"You are welcome," he said. "Are you two close?"
I shrugged.
"Yeah, he's like family," I said. "But... also thank you for Wanda. If - if she had lost Vision... I don't know what she would have done, and how it would have affected her."
Strange nodded, an expression of fear crossing his face before it became neutral again. I spoke to him for a while longer before Loki came over to speak with us. We had only been speaking for a minute before Pietro waltzed over and whisked me away to dance.
"Are you jealous?" I asked.
Pietro scoffed and shook his head so quickly it was a blur. I laughed softly and kissed him.
"You know, you're the only person I love," I said. "Loki's cool and all, but he's got nothing on you."
Pietro grinned as Fine Line by Harry Styles began playing, and he pulled me close.
"This is familiar," he said, twirling me softly.
I grinned at him.
"It is," I replied.
"Every time we listen to this song, we get interrupted," he said. "Do you think the bad luck finally ends here?"
I leaned up to him.
"Let's see," I said.
A loud crash interrupted us. I looked at the windows which were now shattered, and a massive black and silver version of the Hulkbuster stepped inside. The helmet flipped up to reveal Derek Hale.

"Not again, you son of a bitch!" I yelled.
The helmet flipped back on and he shot a laser beam at me. Pietro whisked me out of the way, and a whole load of robots flew through the windows, their intent to probably kill us all.
What a shame Derek didn't expect the room to be full of warriors. The battle was short with them all with us. I was able to crush the robots with my telekinesis, and most of the Avengers already had experience with fighting against robots. Derek was easily apprehended and he looked like a bit of an idiot, which made me smile.
Pietro grabbed my waist.
"We were interrupted again," he sighed.
I grinned and looked around.
"Well, it seems there are no more threats," I said. "So kiss me."
And Pietro did just that.

From Nothing
Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.

Ouroboros Ascendant
Ouroboros Ascendant is a story about friends you meet on the internet, and then spend entirely too much time together hunting monsters, doing quests, earning experience, and risking your life. Except for Jack, Erin, Rory, and Layla, the video game they play together every Saturday isn’t nearly as real or as threatening as the primal world of Ayrgard. A mysterious force has drawn them across the darkness between realms for its own purposes, and they’ll need to survive monsters, politics, and a lurking threat they can’t yet imagine. In the interest of disclosure and ease of access, Ouroboros Ascendant features gay, bisexual, and straight main and supporting characters, and features elements of romance between some of those characters. However, OA is not a story about romance. If you're hungry for more chapters, there's always Patreon.

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

The Order of Sekhmet
Meet Rowan who may or may not be really enthusiastic about telling you how his life is with the goddess of war. It is naturally far from being peaceful, but the blade-wielding, fourth-wall-breaking protagonist certainly wouldn't have it any other way. Egyptian deities? Check. Sword fights? Check. Demonic arts? Check. Burning passion? Check. After all, blood is a good moisturizer. Please note that I have flagged my content. There is and will be content that may trigger you, particularly if you've been through toxic relationships. While I do my best not to paint these moments in the best light, they exist and are crucial parts of my story. Things are kicked up a notch beginning with chapters named 'The Old World'. Everything before is (nearly) vanilla. Update schedule is every Thursday/Friday, varying times!
