April 18th to 24th Schedule

Well, I’m afraid it’s no news that I messed up last week’s schedule, is it? Let me do a bit of postmortem and see how much I messed up.

I was a bit tired after the writing ma...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 17

The coming of the day is heralded not by the tolling of church bells (with or without a dark secret), but by the back of a hand slamming down on my nose.

I manage not to yell out i...

Self Insert of the Dead – Chapter 3 – The Lucky Pervert Should Not Be the One Being Peeked On

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 34 – Haruno Doesn’t Go on Dates 2

We now resume our regularly scheduled programming

My father’s all right.

Well, now that that bit of suspense is out of the way, let me elaborate: I just got back from the hospital, where, after some very stressful hours, it turned out that...

Delays, delays everywhere

So, I guess you may have noticed I've been even more scatter-brained than usual. This was due to my father undergoing the last clinical trials before getting on the lung transplant's list. Once he ...

Wake-up Call – Chapter 35

Finally, after what feels like a night far too packed with emotions, events, and parental figures being insufferably stubborn, I’m back at my apartment.

My peaceful apartment. Th...

Wordsworth – Chapter 14

Reading is as sensual as it can be mental.

Opening an old book, the smell of aged paper and ink surrounding you, your fingers tracing the grooves in smooth leather, your eyes follo...

April 11th to 17th Schedule and Poll Results

It turns out the advantage of posting a weekly schedule in advance it’s that it lets me see just how much I messed up the whole thing… So join me in dissecting what went wrong and just by how m...

An End, Some Means, and a Deranged Lesbian – Epilogue – The Girl Who Didn’t Die

I’ve never been to a love hotel in my entire life.

Self Insert of the Dead – Chapter 2 – The Bath Fanservice Episode Should Not Be in First Person POV

Kouta Hirano is, apparently, in Heaven.

“This—this… This is a Springfield Armory Super Match M1A! Modified with a laser sight and a scope; it even has a bayonet attachment! A...

An End, Some Means, and a Deranged Lesbian – Chapter 3

She doesn’t smell like the sea.

Kirika’s naked beneath the sheets, her body warm next to mine, and I can’t fall back to sleep, not while my mind is stuck on why it’s important that sh...

All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! – Chapter 33 – Haruno Doesn’t Go on Dates 1

I’m in a small Italian restaurant, out of the way so it offers some privacy from people walking by, yet with a friendly atmosphere that makes guests feel welcome even if most tables ar...

“Well, I know that now, but nothing indicated I should’ve prepare...

Wordsworth – Chapter 13

Once, there was a warrior god.

His name was Ares, and he was scum, derided. He cheated with another god’s wife, terrorized those weaker than him, and fled when wounded by a mere ...

April 4th to 10th Schedule

One of the things that was pointed out in the recent polls was that maybe I should try to communicate with you all rather than keep dropping chapters like a writing machine devoid of a soul and its...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 16 – A Girl in Love

April's Plot Bunnies Poll

All right, the following is a list of ideas that have been gnawing at my brain for months. It's not even a comprehensive list.

Wordsworth – Chapter 12 – Colors 5

The docks are burning.

“Just call it in, Ems. That’s Lung on a rampage; there’s nothing you can do.”

Sophia’s voice comes from behind me, terse and severe, but far softer than...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - Part 2:The Polls

To be completely honest, the polls have been a bit of a headache since the beginning, and that’s entirely my own fault.

When I set this whole thing up, I just had started regularly posting ...

All Right! Fine! I’ll Take You! – Zaimokuza Gaiden – Chapter 15

Rituals. I like rituals.

I mean, of course, there are the everyday kind of rituals that make it so there’s some kind of… order, I guess? No, it’s not that, more like certaint...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - Part 1: Incentives and perks

I wake up feeling better than I have in months, then I turn to the side and see why.

I spend far more than I would like to admit just watching her sleep, that dumb grin of hers apparent even ...

Of Sisters and Shadows – Chapter 6

This is bullshit.

Oh, sure, I get a second trigger which turns my shield into a very versatile, ridiculously lethal weapon—I just need to face myself in a duel to the de...

The Danger of Komachi Points – All Right! Fine! I Will Take You! Omake – Chapter 5
