I took in another deep breath and let it out. This whole thing was way more complicated than any relationship I'd ever been in.
Though I hadn't had a serious relationship in a long time. Goin...
2025-05-30 15:49:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we materialized I didn’t see the familiar comforting confines of my lab all around me. I didn’t even see the cafe we’d teleported to last time.
“What the hell?”
“Emerge...
2025-05-30 03:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostI took a deep, gasping breath as I looked out over the city. Lights were twinkling both from buildings in the distance and the lines of aircars moving this way and that in a computerized dance that...
2025-05-29 02:58:42 +0000 UTC View Post"Okay," Pulastri said, slapping his hand against his side again. "I need to see what we have to work with."
He held a hand up parallel with his head, and suddenly the floor around us started ...
2025-05-29 02:20:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Stupid fucking robot,” I hissed. “Stupid fucking amateur hour Dr. Lana throwing robots at me.”
I turned to Fialux. She was still lying on the ground with her eyes closed. Not good. I...
2025-05-28 23:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Wanted to drop a quick update about Villains Don't Date Heroes. I'm a little behind on that because of a combination of working to get advance chapters ready for Smokin' Hot Alien Girlfrien...
2025-05-28 19:45:13 +0000 UTC View PostI glared at Dr. Lana one final time. I was starting to think maybe she was going to be more of a challenger to the throne than I’d ever imagined, and I didn’t care for that.
Also? I didn...
2025-05-28 19:19:03 +0000 UTC View PostI tried to overcome the nerves that were threatening to twist my gut into a pretzel shape. I mean, my gut was already twisted into all kinds of pretzel shapes, but you know what I mean.
She c...
2025-05-28 02:50:04 +0000 UTC View Post“This is a nice place," I said, looking up and around.
It was a massive bubble set in the side of her tower. One of several. I hadn’t seen it before, but I could spend an entire year goin...
2025-05-27 02:30:29 +0000 UTC View PostI looked at the conduit we were repairing today. Harath was still chuckling at the tale of the livisk warrior I beat the shit out of.
Meanwhile I looked at the repair of the day.

2025-05-26 03:31:57 +0000 UTC View Post"Hand me the polarity reverser," Harath said, holding a meaty hand out from under the transport ship he was currently working on. It wasn't quite as sexy as working on one of those fighter bombers,...
2025-05-26 03:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostI moved to stand between Varis and this livisk asshole. Which had more amusement coming through the link.
"What in the name of the empress are you doing?" she asked, but it wasn't in a worrie...
2025-05-26 03:17:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe livisk male turned to look at me. His mouth turned up in a cruel smile. I know talking about the livisk it was easy to assume every smile was a cruel smile. But the smile this one was hitting m...
2025-05-26 03:16:53 +0000 UTC View PostI stared up at the bomber screaming down at us. It didn’t sound quite the same as the Stuka, but the effect was similar.
I started to shake. I looked to Varis. She smiled at me, radiating a...
2025-05-26 03:16:12 +0000 UTC View PostI walked over to Varis and held my arms out. I wrapped them around her and pulled her into a hug, which had more tongues wagging as the livisk all around us realized what I was doing.

2025-05-26 03:14:51 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped into the great glass elevator and took a deep breath. There’d been a touch and go moment where I worried Arvie was going to keep me captive in the VIP suite. A funny euphemism for a jai...

I couldn't help the tingling sensation that was suddenly runni...
2025-05-26 03:12:32 +0000 UTC View PostI stopped in front of the door. It didn't open for me.
"Um, Arvie, we appear to be having a bit of a problem here."
I figured I should be polite. Always be polite to the computers. You ...
2025-05-26 03:11:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the week continued on in much the same way. We’d have a little bit of fun together in the evening and go to bed, and I’d wake up fully rested and ready to attack the world again. 2025-05-26 03:09:51 +0000 UTC View Post
I’m not sure what brought on this combination of bravado and irritation. I was annoyed with myself more than anything. This was a problem I’d created, after all.
I was the one who came to...
2025-05-24 00:48:50 +0000 UTC View PostDr. Lana still had her beam weapon out and she was aiming it right at me. Apparently she’d decided if there was something that needed done? She was going to do it herself.
I sighed. This wa...
2025-05-23 15:39:26 +0000 UTC View Post"We need to get you a wristband,"
"A what?" I asked.
She ducked and came at me, and I jumped at the last moment. The practice sword sailed under my feet, and I brought my own down and a...
2025-05-23 15:13:37 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. The robots were still in business. That meant I needed to take care of Fialux before I worried about anything else.
I didn’t want to risk any of them coming after her while I was dist...

2025-05-22 12:12:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a damn good thing the robot was giant. That meant Fialux had plenty of time to fall. Plenty of time for me to swoop to the rescue. Assuming I could avoid that damned robot long enough to get...
2025-05-21 20:22:31 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you have any suggestions for dealing with these things?” Fialux asked, zipping around the thing and trying to keep it occupied.
