[Hereafter] Chapter CLXIV: Twelve Days of Christmas

The last of the Christmas chapters, I swear!

I just couldn't escape it. It might have been nice to be able to fit all of this into a single chapter, but it would have meant cutting a lot of r...

"Renée's Present" by Gifted Monster

With an awkward blush and a stumbled curtsey, learned just for this moment and to give her gift a bit more gravitas than what the contents would ordinarily inspire, Rika gave her gift to Renée. Ha...

[Hereafter] Chapter CLXIII: Bonds of Friendship

You might call it the second half of the Christmas chapter.

Weird as it feels, we're already 3 chapters deep into the intermission, which is usually around 10 chapters long, and I originally ...

[Hereafter] Chapter CLXII: Christmas in Chaldea

Another longer one again. After several chapters where I got about as far as I intended to, this one didn't quite manage to reach the part I wanted, but I think it's better that it didn't. There're...

(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter CLXII: Christmas in Chaldea

It would've been super convenient if things lined up so that Christmas came to Chaldea during IRL Christmas...so I guess it gets to be Christmas in August instead?

Another longer one, this time. After how many hundreds of thousands of words and 5 Singularities, Ritsuka, Rika, and the other members of the cast not named "Olga Marie" finally start to get a few ...

Yes, today is a two-for-one. Not only did Hereafter get a new chapter, but so is this! Rikkuta's adventures in the wacky world of Dragon Ball continue!

[Hereafter] Chapter CLX: Philosopher's Legacy

Here it is, the final chapter of London. Feels. Feels galore. Feels all over the place. Bask in the feels.

There were some questions me and the editors talked about in regards to who would be...

[Hereafter] Chapter CLIX: Station of the Grand

One last chapter - just the one - and London is over. But that's the cooldown chapter, where goodbyes are said and everything is tied up neatly with a bow. This chapter is the penultimate chapter o...

Should be pretty obvious where I want to get with this one.

[Hereafter] Chapter CLVIII: The Lightning and the Storm

I actually intended to get farther along than I did, and yet this chapter is still 6700 words long. My intent was to finish the fight and have a certain someone use their Noble Phantasm before the ...

[Hereafter] Chapter CLVII: King of the Storm

One or two more chapters until the end of London. Things dragged a little bit here and there, and I tried to inject some new, interesting bits to fill in the parts of canon London that weren't so g...

[Hereafter] Chapter CLVI: "M"

I like releasing Hereafter Material pages like this, now. I might release them in their normal posts at some point, such as when this chapter moves down all the way, but for now, this keeps things ...

I think this is going to very much be a hit or miss kind of chapter. It's going to depend entirely and completely on what you think of a certain someone and how I interpreted her for this chapter a...

A day early!

We're closing in on the end, now. I'm taking some liberties here, mostly because canon London just reused assets between the Association's tunnels and the tunnels used for M's un...

We're getting closer, now. Next chapter... Well, that would be telling, but I think it's fairly obvious where it's going.

I wanted to go a little bit further at the end there...but that line was perfect to stop on, so I did.
