Wakfu Fanfiction: Echoes of Bitter Comfort​

18/3/2023

0 Comments

 
A new fanfic just dropped. :) Spoilers for season 2 of Wakfu ahead...


Echoes of Bitter Comfort is a glimpse into the bittersweet relationship between two immortals who were doomed to be forgotten, and the child whose perennial love made their painful eternity a little more bearable.

What did their bond look like, back when Qilby was sane, Shinonome was alive, and Yugo still trusted them? This short character study explores that.

Chapter 15 of "Just Cause" is Out!

15/9/2022

Today on Kids and Fish Who Are Having a Worse Day Than You, my Undertale fanfic, Just Cause, now has a new chapter!

​You can read chapter 15 on my website here.

Or you can read it on on AO3 here.


Here's a quick excerpt:

A few seconds before his boss was supposed to arrive, Sans teleported to his Hotland sentry station.

The moment he materialized, the sound that greeted him made him almost wish he’d stayed away.

“Come on, is that all you’ve got!?”

As Undyne’s strained, struggling voice drifted through the cavern and washed across him, grim resignation pulled Sans’ eyelids closed.

The kid might actually be killing her.

I’d hoped they were past that.

Just Cause, Chapter 14: Spear of Torment

4/9/2022

0 Comments

 
Chapter 14 of Just Cause is out! You can read it on this website here, or read it on Archive of Our Own here.

Here's a quick peek at the chapter:


“And all the pain you have inflicted on the fallen… Every hope, every dream you have turned to dust… She’s gonna send right back through her spear! NGAHHH! I’ll show you how determined monsters truly are. Come on! Step forward and let’s end this!”

This is it.

Cold, dull resignation fell like a stone into the churning pool of Frisk’s thoughts, sending waves of emotion rippling in all directions and crashing into each other.

She isn’t going to stop this time, is she? She isn’t like those other monsters who attacked me for a stupid, petty reason. She has a really good reason to want to kill me.

And she’ll keep on trying until one of us is dead.

Should I kill her?

More "Just Cause," More Excerpts!

2/9/2022

I’m releasing chapter 14 of my Undertale story, Just Cause, this week, so here are a few excerpts from the upcoming chapter. :)

You can read the first 13 chapters of Just Cause here, or read the webcomic version here.

My supporters on Patreon can read chapter 14 today.

As the smoothness of the carefully-carved path gave way to the harsh edges of a small mountain, and a gust of wind turned the tunnel ahead into a shrieking maw, a surge of adrenaline and dread turned Frisk’s pulse into a pounding tide.

The dull red glare of the firelit ceiling loomed high above, turning the buildings and machines into ominous silhouettes, and closer – far, far too close – a smaller but vastly more perilous figure stood motionless on the mountaintop.

A spark of anger flared through the fog of fear, and this time the curl of their toes whispered of a desire to use the shoes they gripped for a purpose other than running away.

The edge of pain in the monster’s voice cut through the haze of rage like a spear, and the memories that followed it warped what remained of their indignation into gut-twisting guilt.

It was clear that Undyne was going to wait until Frisk made the first move. Still, the human hesitated, caught between a retreat that offered no escape and a battle they didn’t know how to wage.

Chapter 13 of "Just Cause" is Out!

​Could it be... that I've finally updated my Undertale fanfiction, Just Cause?!

It could indeed! Here's a quick excerpt from the latest chapter, Mutual Protection:

​“Understand, human?”

Undyne’s stern, frigid voice cut through their thoughts, and they nodded numbly, trembling as they absorbed the enormity of the revelation.

The king of the Underground wanted them dead, and there was nowhere they could go where people wouldn’t be trying to fulfill his command.

“This is your only chance at redemption,” Undyne continued, her golden eye burning a hole in the child’s reeling mind. “Give up your soul… or I’ll tear it from your body.”

Excerpts from "Upholding the Covenant" and "Finding the Truth"

5/2/2022

0 Comments

 
I’m doing SlapDashSat on Twitter again this week, so here a few of the excerpts I’m sharing. The first four are from the novel version of my short story, Upholding the Covenant, and the last one is from Finding the Truth, the upcoming sequel to Your Truth Cannot Stand.

1.
"Sometimes I fear that my womb is cursed."

"My love. Did your womb cause your former masters to betray you? Did it cause an ailing person to visit our city and bring sickness to our children? No. These tragedies are not your fault."

2.
"You visit the ambassador a lot, my child."

"Yeah, 'cuz, he smells bad until he sees me, but then he smells better!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean he smells sad, like me when my sister won't play with me. But then he sees me and smells happy!"

3.
"Who kill your cat?" Kivara demanded, and Orennian smiled sadly at the child.

"Nobody. He died of old age. Time killed him."

Kivara snapped her jaws at the air, and he frowned. "What are you doing?"

"I'm biting time for killing your cat!"

4.
“You are just too precious.”

“No I’m not! I’m strong and fierce and BIG! See? I come all the way up to your nose!”

“But if I put you on the floor-”

“NOOOOO! I have to stay up here so I’ll be BIG!”

5.
There were days when the general didn’t know whether to pinch the bridge of his nose, rub his tightening forehead, or throw back his head and laugh.

The corpse in front of him deserved all three reactions.
