Never did he expect to find himself in a messy tangle of dark magics, ancient promises, and a power hungry hoodoo doctor.

She gave me a tired smile and nodded. “Aye, Kaelyn, I’ll be fine. I gather I had another vision?”

Life on the Beach

I saw the contest announcement and thought this would be just right for it. It isn't a holiday but it is transgender and it is set on an island.

This is a version of the first chapter of a story I began long ago in the Carboniferous when I was just a frond. The story was intended to be perhaps 6-8 chapters but, you know, life happened. Here's how it all began.

Dragon's Fire Chapter 55

Chapter 55: New Balance in Life

The rest of the week in the cabin passed like a quiet dream. Each day began with the gentle crackle of the fire and the smell of pine drifting in from the woods. Yuqi would wake to the sound of her parents humming softly in the kitchen, the sun filtered through frost-laced windows, casting golden patterns on the worn wooden floor. Outside, icicles glittered from the porch roof, and the snow piled so high that it muffled even the sound of footsteps.

The temple did not rise in a single moment.

Aphrodite's Chosen Chapter 4

Chapter Four – The Other Vessels

The night following Aphrosia’s revelation was not a night at all. Yet as midnight approached, a sense of unreality settled over the world—an uncanny pause before something immense. People stepped outside, drawn by a pressure in the air, a hush that made even city traffic seem to hold its breath. It was as if the earth itself knew change had arrived.

Chapter 17: Diplomacy


Alex had a terminal Cancer diagnosis and thought she would die before she got to be the girl she always was inside. That all changes when she's in the wrong place at the right time and gets transported to another world and into the body of a girl. So what if she's not human, she's alive and a girl. Now if only she had her sister with her to navigate this new world and her new responsibilities. Wait, she's here too? The passage of their souls between worlds may have doomed the Earth to apocalypse, but Alex and Michelle won't be there to see it and they have enough problems on their hands.

 

“We do not trust outsiders,” he said uncertainly, and a number of the other men nodded their heads in agreement.

“We were. At least, we tried to, and several times at that,” the scout replied with a grimace. “I was sure that we were heading straight east, but each time we try to leave to scout ahead, we keep ending up back here. Something about this mist is… unnatural.”

Aphrodite's Chosen Chapter 3

Chapter Three – The Shock of Divinity

Across the world, screens flickered with the image of a woman standing among sun-bleached ruins while rose-colored light poured from her hands. Viewers froze, breathless, as awe and terror rippled through living rooms and public squares alike. The feed had begun as a tourist’s shaky livestream from Greece; within minutes, it was mirrored on every major network, rebroadcast by anchors who could barely keep their voices steady, some whispering as if afraid to disturb the sacred.

Chapter 54: A Visit from a Goddess

As the crisp mountain air stirred snowflakes outside, serenity settled over the cozy cabin. Peaceful silence wrapped the space, disturbed only when a soft knock gently broke the stillness.

Chapter Two – When Time Breathed Again

At first, there was only silence—a silence older than memory, vast and sacred, as if the breath of the gods had been drawn in and the world itself awaited their command.

“I guess we will do it your way then, so long as Michelle can go,” the Jiquar relented, though she was still scowling. “Please keep her safe.”

Chapter 54: Fire Beneath the Snow

The mountain air was crisp and still, biting at her cheeks with a sharp, clean cold that seemed to seep through every layer. Icicles hung from the eaves, glittering like tiny daggers, and the peaks above were lost in a pale veil of drifting snow.

Dragon's Fire Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Cabin in the Mountains

The house had felt too quiet that morning. Every footstep echoed in the hallway, the silence heavy and unyielding, as if the walls themselves mourned the absence left behind. Shadows lingered in the corners, and even the morning light seemed reluctant to touch the spaces where laughter used to live.

Apocalypse Dusk


(Inspired by Amethyst's "Apocalypse Dawn: The New World", but decidedly non-canon.)


So we were supposed to restore sanity to government here after Trump, his successors and all their lackeys imploded.

Then the aliens invaded. Creatures from our myths and old scriptures forced their way in, and their races of Good Guys are saving us from the more obviously evil ones. The aliens in ultimate charge resemble the old pantheons of gods and goddesses here on Earth. But the real threat is that their emissaries -- elves, fae, human-animal hybrids, pixies, whatever -- have replaced or converted a lot of our own family members into their new races, and they seem primed to take over, unless what remains of humanity can stop them.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice shouted, “Jikkune!” I turned just in time to see a blue and green blur before I had the air knocked out of my lungs by some sort of kamikaze tackle hug.

Chapter Seven: Eyes of the World

The broadcast spread faster than fire in dry grass, its signal shimmering with an unplaceable light. For those who watched, a faint scent of moonlit lotus seemed to drift from the screens, and old clocks ticked backward for a breathless instant. The air itself tingled, as if a barrier between worlds had briefly parted—magic leaking into living rooms across the nation.

Chapter 16: A Princess Requests Audience

The seas remained quiet—for now. But beneath that stillness, currents shifted uneasily, carrying the news to every shore and whispering of change to creatures both seen and unseen. In the deep, ancient leviathans stirred, sensing the tremor of power in the water. On distant islands, coastal villages watched the horizon with wary eyes, fishermen praying to old gods for safe passage.
