Part 9 of my 'An Avenger's..." Black Widow series. This story takes place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. ***** Creeping through the solitary darkness, the Black Widow gradually emerged from the shadows. Slipping through the open courtyard, the redhead vaulted over a high fence before dropping down into a sea of endless shipp...
* * * * * * * * * * A paranoid, altogether arrogant Gold Dragon Whelpling. A bold, courageous and steadfast warhorse with hooves hard enough to crumble anything they struck to powder. A keen-eyed and buxom Ogre Ranger who was vividly aimed with her elegant bow. A keen-minded and not-so-buxom Wizardess, star-crossed and infatuated, her large brain fill...
Ebele watched the procession of knights, lords, and lordlings as they came through the door as she had done many times before. It was again the middle of the month, and yet again, the king was treating many of those in his court to a trip to "Madam Belle's". In the purple lighting of the lobby, she could see already that this group was even larger than the k...
The people who recount the myth of Perseus and Medusa get a large part of it wrong, which was to be expected, because the story was repeated mostly by itinerant story-tellers, who were not above embellishing some of the details. Besides that circumstance, once he became a legendary hero and a king, it seemed not quite right to include all the true facts in t...
Consciousness came with a blast of cold water across Mike's face. He choked and spluttered, finding his mouth filled with water as he instinctively spat out the offensive liquid. The groggy smuggler tossed his dripping hair behind his head, getting the dark bangs out of his eyes as he leaned back in the metal chair he was shackled to. His arms were cuffed b...
Kevin carefully studied his surrounding. He didn't want the monster sneaking up on him. The dragon had terrorized the local village for far too long. It was time for a hero to slay the beast. Thats how Kevin saw himself, as a brave knight hunting down a horrible monster. All he had was his father's sword and a poorly made bronze shield. He wasn't wealthy eno...
(A:EHH - Avengers: Earth's Horniest Heroes) Ant-Man paused at the doorway to the room in the Avengers Mansion which had been appropriated by the Wasp. "Well, I guess this is goodnight. Sleep well, Jan," he said, turning to leave. "Not so fast, mister!" quipped the Wasp. "Get in here!" Suiting actions to words, the Wasp grabbed a hold of Ant-Man's arm and...
Notes from the author: Hi again everyone. Here's something different, as a nostalgic ode to my youth playing Dungeons & Dragons, Pendragon and other pen-and-paper role-playing games. I know I am no bard but I tried my hand at an Arthurian idyll. I hope you enjoy it. 1. The errant and the prisoner "Great God! Cadfael, should I die today I would do so knowin...
While I generally leave anything referring to comic books or superheroes to my esteemed friend and colleague Rebekah Hendershot, author of Masks, I am now stepping in. Dear Disney, you own Marvel now. Have Joe Quesada walk the plank off the roof of 666 5th avenue. You can have Johnny Depp hold the sword that nudges him off, if you like. Why do I say that?...
I'm not really shocked, you know? My "Sanity" didn't go down so I guess this is proof I'm adapting to the situation. It also didn't go up, so I guess this is my limit. I'm just fated to remain half-sane in this shitty world. Being introduced to magic and monsters so abruptly certainly shocked me and didn't help with my mental state. Though the biggest shock...
