![]() Author has written 28 stories for Thunderbirds, Forgotten Realms, Harry Potter, Death Note, Naruto, Doctor Who, and Diablo. March 2019 I'm a long-time fanfiction writer, a technical writer by profession, and a published short-fiction author. I love the moral complexities of life and mortality, and enjoy exploring that through character studies and longer series. My fanfiction writing tends to come in spurts when I find a source material that grabs me; usually, it's something with a lot of implied depth that could use fleshing out. I'm currently writing the second series for stories set after Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. Details can be found below. If you're interested in seeing some behind-the-scenes thoughts on my writing, as well as fanart and Ask Malthael blogs, head over to my Tumblr at mal-likes-biscuits or https: (slash) (slash) mal-likes-biscuits (dot) tumblr (dot) com (slash). (If you've read Chapter 1 of In All Things Light and Dark you'll get the joke with the name.) I love talking about writing and fandom, so feel free to drop me a note if you do as well! Yours in writing and fandom, darkhelmetj Series Notes/Summary Series 1 Diablo: Amor Aeternus is a 4-Act fanfiction series set 20 years after Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. The story follows the New Tristram crew as they attempt to understand and avert a world-ending conflict between the Nephalem and the forces of the Eternal Conflict. "Sanctuary. Many ages ago, angels and demons seeking to escape the Eternal Conflict stole a powerful artifact, the Worldstone, and used it to create the mortal world. Their children, born from both angelic and demonic blood, grew into the humans that now walk the realms. Mortals who, once the Worldstone was destroyed, grew more powerful than angels and demons combined. Their champions, the Nephalem, triumphed against evil countless times. In doing so, they upset the eternal balance between good and evil that once existed only between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. They were the bane of demons, and even the angels, in their high towers, began to fear them. While the Nephalem had their allies in the Heavens, one angel, Malthael, swept through Sanctuary as the Angel of Death, determined to eliminate all demonic power – including that inherent in humans. He failed, and he fell to the very Nephalem he sought to destroy. Yet, before before his Fall, Malthael was once the benevolent Archangel of Wisdom and the leader of his kind. His story is not over. Not yet." Act I: In All Things Light & Dark - Complete Series 2 "Archfall. The moment the Eternal Conflict ended, changing Sanctuary irrevocably. While mortals recover from Imperius’ attack on their home, the Nephalem seek to understand the shift in the Balance wrought by the destruction of the Crystal Arch. The Light has fallen to Sanctuary, and its shards possess the strength of the Angiris. Some seek the shards to understand their power. Others pursue them for their own uses, whether to maintain peace or gain authority. Observing all of this with calculating patience is the Burning Hells. Demons never rest: they only find new hosts. And without the Heavens to assist, it falls to the Nephalem to stand alone against the growing shadow of the Prime Evil." Act I: Breathe - written |
