(CiP)[Hereafter] Interlude A (EB): A Better Class of Villain
Did you think he was going to go unmentioned and unseen for the rest of the Singularity? Not a chance. Give Chekov his gun.

Upcoming Changes (October, 2025)
So with the economy bouncing around more than a toddler on a sugar high, I think I need to revisit the prices again, less than six months later. If things keep going like this, I might need to revi...

There are so many Servants at play here that it's getting hard to keep track of all of them, much less give them all something to say and do.

The end (of the American Singularity) looms in the not too distant future.
[Hereafter] Chapter CCX: Airing Secrets
It was almost destined to happen once Taylor started encountering more people from Earth Bet who knew her, especially when they were people who actually went through and survived Gold Morning and e...

I looked at the map of the PRT bases on the wiki, and the dot in Indiana looked close enough to be Indianapolis, so I stationed it there. I needed some place for the team to stop and rest, and that...

It was inevitable once more capes who knew Taylor started showing up.
(CiP)[Cunning and Ambition] Chapter 2: Certainty and Second Thoughts
On another Haphne binge, and the absolutely criminal lack of good fics for them (that I have not already read at least once) has convinced me to pick this story back up. We'll see how far it goes.<...

Ah, Cu is back, and his dynamic is just as much fun to play with as it was back in Fuyuki. Don't worry, Taylor, I'm sure you weren't the only one to feel the way you do about his "return," such as ...

How long have the twins technically been out of the main narrative now? Too long, methinks.
[Hereafter] Chapter CCVII: Rampaging Hound
"Wow, Cúchulainn is strong!" should be one of the takeaways from this chapter. Seriously. "Irish Heracles," indeed.
Ever since I decided upon having Berserker Cúchulainn here - his normal B...

Can you really trust your enemy's attack dog?
[Hereafter] CCVI: The Battle of Rock Island
Like with last chapter, I was disappointed with how little I could focus on individual battles and give them the proper weight they needed, but things being what they were, it was unavoidable.

You'll never guess what this chapter is going to have in it.
[Hereafter] Chapter CCV: Crossing the Mississippi
Into the action we go!
I've gotta say, one of the things I was disappointed about most with this chapter and next chapter is how little I got to focus on the individual fights. Because Taylor...

As it turns out, this chapter got to be called that instead, so I guess the last one gets to remain "Crossing the Mississippi."
[Hereafter] Chapter CCIV: On the Verge of the Assault
This chapter is largely transitional in nature. We're building up to the action that will be the next couple chapters, so there aren't really many exciting moments in this chapter. That doesn't mea...

Master effects are scary...
I also thought "The Battle of Rock Island" might work as a title. What do you guys think?

This title goes here, this time, because this time, it's actually appropriate for what happens in the chapter.
This isn't an action-packed chapter, much like most of the recent chapters, beca...

This time, this chapter title is more appropriate to the content. And this is also the correct chapter number this time, too.
