A big thanks to Lady_Sith for all she does to help me out. And another thank you to those readers who have e-mailed me and continued a conversation. The constant Q&A about this universe is fun, and inspirational to me. As always, comments are always appreciated. Thank you for reading, Axle. ****** The thick concrete that had once protected Simon and El...
Chapter 3 R&R: Rescue and Recruitment People and beings scrambled to get out of the way of the black-clad redheaded Alliance "Intelligence" woman as Quillan stormed down the corridor toward the penal holding facility. Alliance Intel was known throughout the galaxy as being almost as ferocious as the Stellar Marine Corps. Despite the fact that the woman c...
Dear Dirty Diary, Thanksgiving weekend all the Huntingdon stores started pushing their winter fashions, so Louise and I went shopping. Even with all the closet space in our new apartment, I had to do some fall-cleaning to make room. I dumped out my pantyhose and tights drawer on the bed beside my relaxing husband. Each pair I got rid of, Doug would pick up...
You are a lad in a forest village. Once upon a time, the Elders said that Dark Elves had befriended a human seamstress to work for them. Yet the bindings she made caused pain to many as slaves were taken with them. It was said that the god of the earth and sky, Perun, struck her down, cursing her to weave forevermore, in the shape of an Arachne, or "drider"...
"Petty Officer Burke, please see me in my office," Lieutenant Commander Griffin stood in the hatchway. "Yes sir." The breathtaking beauty in starched whites and simple wire rimmed glasses saluted and followed him into his office. Toni stood at rigid attention while he sat down. "At ease. This conversation will be off the record, is that clear Burke?" T...
I. Miles wasn't angry. He was more annoyed than pissed, to be perfectly honest. Swinging through the streets of NYC was usually a good remedy for frustration. But today was different. He had been left behind. The black and red webslinger knew he was on the younger side compared to the other heroes. Stark was slowly but surely getting some silver in his...
"Nice and neat upon her seat, with sensible shoes upon her feet..." Thus went the chant inside Gavin's head. His inner voice played out this rhyme nearly every day as he watched the woman now seated diagonally across from him. Every day that he chose to ride the bus home from campus he'd enter an almost filled bus. There was always only one vacant seat; the...
He stood above her, towering over her like a great mutation of a Drow, taller than most should be. But it was not that which frightened her just now. He fingered the silver dragon tattoo against her cheek, trailing along it's sensitive edge with one nail. "It is very pretty," he said, smiling so softly. It was that smile that she feared. "It caused...
AUTHOR'S NOTE ---- Ooh-er... Sorry it's taken so long folks. Real-life's been much busier over the past few months. If it's any consolation, this one's quite long, and there should be another story (though not from the garden) coming very soon... There's now just one chapter (hmm... maybe two TOPS) left until the end of the Garden series though! *********...
Author's Note: This chapter of Twilight's Pleasure is a bit of a somewhat-cliffhanger, so I hope you readers enjoy it. I had to do a bit of research to figure out where to put Variona's lab, but anyway, in this chapter you get a more in-depth look at Variona's experiments from a different point of view. ***** Caithana Duskwhisper snorted softly to hersel...
