Taylor gazes in horror at the dying woman in front of her, her throat bulging with insects. Her glassy eyes stare accusingly, her body twitching in the final throes, a buzzing sound leaking from her mouth as glass floats for a brief moment around her. When Taylor saw her in the streets, singing...

Aisha was supposed to be with him tonight, but of course had run off immediately into the crowd after hearing that the Endslayer was somewhere in the Block Party. It was a sprawling, raucous affair, people drinking and sparking up in the streets, the smell of grilling meats and...
I dunno man, I think she'd say that cops are mere humans who sometimes need to make hard choices in defense of their lives and others and not see any issue with the discrepancy between her stance on cape violence and cop violence.
The first Quarantine Site they have Chiron handle is a small town in Oklahoma named Hominy, taken over by a robotics Tinker. Said Tinker wound up accidentally creating a robot uprising, after he tried to replace all the workers with a series of different robots a little too sapient for his own...
The Triumvirate: No one will believe a Jedi came to save us
The general populace: Telekinesis? A laser sword? That dudes a fucking Jedi!
After writing the arguments and the previous chapter, I needed Ripplescale to have something good happen to them, and like, obviously there are going to be...
The blaring sound of sirens pierced through the air, blending with the thunderous thump of helicopter blades as a black chopper lifted off, carrying an injured Hookwolf in desperate need of medical attention. A fleet of ambulances rumbled up the Hill, their presence adding to the symphony of...
Definitely working on more. We need to see Taylor's new hustle, clearing quarantine sites, maybe some other scattered familiar faces reacting to a changing world, as well as how Cauldron is adjusting. And then there's Canberra looming over everything.
9/18 Added additional ~800 word opening
It takes two days before the 13th Endbringer leaves Washington, D.C. the newest member of the Protectorate, and begins to make his way to Oklahoma, the Triumvirate in tow to watch over him, and make sure nothing untoward happened. 13 may be in the...
9/18 Grammar fixes
A nameless being, though he wears his title of Conflict Engine well, awakes in the gentle grasp of Low Earth Orbit. After a few short minutes of wakefulness, basking in silence and darkness—never before has his birth been anything but noisy—he breaks the shell of his massive...
Edited content 9/17 Slightly less violent

The PR job that Erica Beaumont landed was truly the opportunity of a lifetime; to interview one of the Endslayers themselves, the enigmatic Case 53 Ripplescale. The cape, despite being quite available to Brockton Bay, had yet to officially...

Ripplescale Redfeather, Jedi Knight, awoke to the gentle warmth of sunlight streaming through the window, casting soft rays of golden light across the room. Stretching their lithe, saurian body, they could feel the softness of the human bed beneath them, providing a comforting...

It was past two am when they left the Dallon home and started walking, their thoughts stuck, twisting and turning in their mind, trapped in a labyrinthian knot of unsettled emotion and turmoil.
The Sith. It always came down to the Sith. Well, there were no Sith here to whisper poison...
And here we have the origin of this story. The idea of Victoria and Amy settling in to watch Star Wars with a Jedi. An idea I originally thought was funny, until I realized exactly how upsetting those movies would be to someone *from* the Corsuca Galaxy, especially a Jedi. Everything fell into...
There's definitely going to be some tension with how a Jedi operates compared to capes. Maiming is foundational to lightsaber combat and against the Unwritten Rules, for example.
The Cosmic Force is more wide reaching and powerful than the PtV IMHO. Don't expect Contessa to be fighting precog battles with Ripplescale though, given the shared origin of their shards. The Eye sees a brother-in-arms in Ripplescale's Shard, not an enemy.
