A/N: Warning! Bloody fragment.
Plot bin day; these, and the other three. I'm too ill to do anything else.
Even writing this makes my hands ache. Speech to text is a thing this old man doesn't know how to use.
Very quickly before I forget, Forgotten Son, Far From Home, A Boy's Journey, and Rise of a Beast Hero should be this week. Somewhat in the order. Ideally I'd like to update Genshin and Doctor of Demons as well, but time will tell.
With my fifteen year anniversary on this site here, I find myself reflecting on the little things in life. What was once a lazy pastime meant for me and a few friends really grew and evolved over time. There are days when I look back on the last fifteen years here and I wonder if anyone will remember me; if I made an impact, despite never making a single cent on any of these stories. Some days were happier than others, and some stories I enjoyed writing WAY too much; to the point where I'd stay up all night working on them.
And of course, there are times when I look to the future and wonder what will become of things when I'm gone.
Of course, I try not to dwell on the latter overmuch; I'm still alive and still writing. In an ideal world, I'd like to keep doing so for as long as I can. But old age is catching up to me and these days, the world is filled with so much madness and death. The recent earthquake in Turkey/Syria serves as a terrible example. Even before that, so many friends and fellow writers I once knew are gone, now. Will I still be here in twenty years? Ten? Five? Its a chilling thought. But for now, I'm still here, still writing.
This is a rough draft. Time and feedback will determine if any such fragment becomes a story.
In other words...its up to YOU, the reader, for what follows. Do let me know~!
Hope this puts a smile on your face.
"...that's hell you're walking into.
"Meh, I've seen scarier.
"You have not...

A Most Unlikely Lover
"Huh, would you look at that? Archer was right."
Kiara tilted her horned head to regard her new Master. "I beg your pardon?"
She expected the young man before her to sputter and blush -obvious given her current attire and Class- but when all he received a matching tilt of his own head. She knew that dull deadpan expression well, she'd seen it on the face of many a man she'd encountered during her...pursuits. She knew what came after...oh yes...
.
..
...at least, Kiara thought she did.
Instead he pivoted and walked the other way.
At first she thought it was some sort of sick joke; but no, he kept walking.
"Wait!" she cried out a this back. "Master! Where are you going!"
"Away from you! Not sticking my dick in crazy!
Her face went red. "I said wait!"
She raced after him.
A/N: Aaaand scene.
Once more, we're sticking with the "Embers" rule for this story, and others. Meaning folks don't like this, it won't be continued. If the story itself ain't popular/well-received...well, I won't be able to continue it. I'm working two jobs, holidays are here too, meaning I barely have time to write; as such, I cannot afford to write something folks don't enjoy.
So by all means, speak up! Your voice matters! Make yourself heard! As ever, reviews are the fuel that sustain me. Without them I cannot write a single word. Simple as that. Working nearly all hours of the day keep me absurdly busy, and I can't bring myself to write something folks don't like.
So...in the immortal words of Atlas...
...Revieeeeew, Would You Kindly?
No previews. I'm exhausted.
And so very sad...T_T
R&R! =D
