The pungent stink of antiseptic was the first thing that I noticed.
An old, deep-set anxiety rose quickly and was squashed by equally old, familiar habit.
I woke up to the feeling of a pickax slamming repeatedly against my forehead, from the inside. I had clearly not drunk nearly enough...
I woke to a dark room.
It felt as though I had been dreaming. A distant, grassy field. A blue sky in the distance, yet so close I felt as though I could touch it. Already, the details escaped me. A part of me wished to return to sleep again and recapture that scene.
That was impossible...
Chapter 1. Calm Beginnings
Laying in bed, the memories fly back. The white rooms. The Doctor. The needles. . . Papers and forms, words they'd give to your grandmother and father. You think back on the smiles, the "sympathy" they'd give you. The Loneliness. It hurts to think even more...
if I'd shown up a couple days sooner I'd have been able to prevent Taylor Hebert's trigger. I'd have done it too, out of basic decency if nothing else. Unfortunately, I wound up getting dumped in Brockton Bay a bit too late for that.
That said, since I was stuck here anyway, I figured I might...
I figured it was about time I made a thread where I could compile all my current and future One Shots and odd bits of writing that aren't full fics.
Some stories might be posted in multiple places, but I'll try to post here when it feels appropriate. I'll also be reuploading older One Shots...

Hi everyone, this new fic came through a recent plot bunny of mine. I have no idea if I will ever finish it, but I will write it when I feel like it. As for my other fic, don't worry, I haven't abandoned it. I am just busy and will resume writing it soon enough.

My bones ached, a...
After waking up in a hospital I now have to adjust to a new body, a new life. All while living in one of the most God forsaken cities in the multiverse. I'm talking a crime rate that would make Gotham city blush. Oh and did I forget that the world was gonna end in a few years, great.
Disclaimer I own nothing. Worm, Eclipse phase, Mass effect, Bioshock, Dues ex, Cyberpunk, Borderlands, Fallout, Xcom and Metal gear all belong to their respective owners.
Ain't no rest for the wicked

You ever wake up to that feeling of not knowing where you...
I stood on top of a low rise in New Hampshire, looking down at the space that only a moment ago had been occupied by a city of several hundred thousand peopled called Brockton Bay. Now there were barely twenty thousand people present there, and nothing remaining of the city they used to live in...
Alright, this is part of my snippets thread in SB and, later, QQ. Since I decided to continue writing it, I'll be posting this as a new Fanfic here and in the other sites I use.
Anyways, Will of The Force is a story I wanted to write for a very long time. It started as a SI, eventually, it...
Was thinking about writing a fic where Coil is constantly winning, setting himself in an unassailable position and everything seems hopeless for MC, building up tension to a point where there's no visible way out then have it end abruptly with this out of nowhere...
She Controls Bugs.
Emma was scared. She'd been having the same nightmare ever since the charity event. Bug's crawling over her skin. Down her arms, the creeping feeling that every little tiny creature was coming for her. She hated it.
She'd only met Skitter once, and that was enough to make...
The feeling of being shunted across dimensions wasn’t one that was really describable. It was like something eldritch, something that you could know to exist, but completely and utterly ineffable to your senses. You could see it, but not know its features. You could hear it, but couldn’t...
I was looking for a fic like this, only ones I could find were too short. In essence, worm/xcom tinker Taylor. Featuring the creation of alien tech and said aliens themselves. Again, couldn't find what I wanted.
So I'll do it myself.

Since I feel that it's better to ask now than get Surprised Pikachu Faced, I got a question:
Worm has an organization in China called the C.U.I. and the Yangban, and I'm planning on writing chapters involving them like coercion, kidnapping and such. How far is too far?
As far as I understood...
Synopsis:
October 9th, 2009. It was a date that had burned itself into Madison's brain through months and years of obsession. It was the date when she had taken that first step to ruin. That date when she'd taken the coward's way out and clasped hands with the devil. She could fix it, though...
I was laying down, broken, unable to move. She was sitting, waiting for me to regain consciousness.
"You weren't supposed to be here, but I'm glad you are, what I'm about to do is unjustifiable but well..."
"I'm not from here, you know... I don't mean this city or country, either, I mean...
The wake of Leviathan leaves two souls adrift, unbound from a city that’s cursed with conflict. A letter from the past, however, presents a lifeline that they never even expected.
Thanks to my betas: Dysole, *FuryouMiko and Lucifra

"Miss Teresa Richter."
Immediately, my attention was diverted from monitoring the Birdcage to the sharply-dressed man somehow standing in the building holding my main servers. Reviewing the footage, he'd apparently just walked out of a nonexistent gap in my camera coverage of the building. He...
Synopsis, Preface & Trigger Warning
Wave is a story written in the setting of Wildbow’s Worm, and takes place in Sydney, Australia in 2005, seven years prior to the events of Worm itself. It follows Parthian, a new and less-than-heroic tinker who must navigate the parahuman political landscape...
