A young genius' scientific chronicles 5

This took longer than I had hoped, so the Summon Perfect Warlady's likely going to be late... which won't actually affect the public releases. Next non-regular update's going to be another Fae chapter. That one's going into the endgame, should be over within 3 or 4 chapters.

Devil's consultancy chapter 12

Gotham Academy is a private school, K-12, feeding directly into Gotham University. In practice, there’s separate buildings for elementary, middle, and high schools, but there is a central campus where the dorms for the boarding students, the sports stadium, and the administration is based. 


As an eleven year old in the middle of the winter, Richard would ordinarily be in...

Psychoprotective Epilogue 10: Lives 7 and 8

Penny thought that things were going fairly well. Yes, she didn’t get an acting job as easily as she had hoped, and her apartment rent was crazy expensive, but the Cheesecake Factory was a decent job, she got okay tips, so she could afford it… barely. 


Luckily, her neighbors weren’t creeps and let her use their internet… well, Leonard let her. Sheldon acted like a ...

The real problem with facing the Empire was their many high level casters. With thorough investigation, they finally have a final tally, though. 


Their Chief Caster, Pact Romano, is a level eleven Master-class signamancer. According to Janis, he was not capable of anything outside his specialty, but given that he was supposedly the one allowing multiple sides to act as one...

Psychoprotective Epilogue 9 (Sixth life: Tatiana Degtyaryov the witch)

One thing that Tanya never really expected, when they finally died as Gohan, was actually being conscious in the time between lives. While they were more-or-less as good of a telepath as there could be… they never really could manage the same level of self-editing that they could with psychic power or yin chakra. 


When combining this fact with the fact that there was a s...

Her world wasn’t all noblewoman lessons and tinkering, though. She was also expected to learn how to fight, although that was more of a ‘peer pressure’ situation rather than an academic requirement.

[Tanya von Degurechaff]


All told, despite her shameful reaction to a superior officer (Rudersdorf would collapse laughing if he could have seen her), that went rather well. Apparently, the primary reason he decided to handle things personally was because he wanted to see the Absolute Safety Mecha Mk. II for his very eyes. Not because it was particularly innovative or impressive...

Back in her second life, Tanya didn’t spend a whole lot of time with the other orphans. She considered her “peers” to be irritants at best, and agents of Being X at worst. 


Between her experiences caring for children as a parent or big sister figure and just… growing up, she became much les...

[Commission] A young woman's scientific endeavors 1

When Tanya von Degurechaff died, she took a risk. When Being X came to her, in her last moments, when the world stood still… she ran. Nowhere in particular, just… away. 


Having taken that risk, she was beginning to think that she may have attributed more to Being X’s intervention than was proper, in her second life. Because it worked. She ended up being born again, i...

This story arc should be wrapping up soon, I think. I plan on one more arc before the endgame, then of course the epilogue, which will not be nearly as detailed as the psychoprotective one.

Okay, I've always wanted to write a 'Gohan attends the 24th world martial arts tournament' fanfic. Gohan/Videl romance fics are a guilty pleasure of mine. But I promise I've stayed true to the 'Tanya keeps going through multiple lives' concept of this series.

Summon Perfect Warlady 2.09

One drawback of resolving to destroy the Yahtzees was that it triggered the end of their contract with Albinny, the England equivalent in this funhouse-mirror version of World War II. Or rather, what triggered the end was her considering the damage dealt being sufficient that she could fly away without guilt, theoretically. The payment of fifty thousand-ish shmuckers  and five caster level...

I was actually able to get a chapter of a commission done this month! A good sign. Next month I'm going to try for two, specifically the 3rd and 4th chapter of Scientific chronicles, which also include heavy edits to the 2nd chapter, and probably some minor ones to the 1st. I skipped over way too much, and need to slow down.

Well, the first thing that needed to be done was to either recharge Sizemore’s juice, or dismiss him through the portal. After an instant of thought, Tanya figured that the better move was to let him retreat. As he didn’t turn, she couldn’t order him directly… but she could order units next to him just fine. 


Wait… right, she had a duplicate in the courtyard. She...

There was particularly inconvenient drawback to the new defense organization: it made them absurdly vulnerable to flying attacks. While yes, her own presence and her knights mitigated that issue, that also meant that anyone with a big flying force and a lookamancer might get the wrong idea.

The first seven turns spent as ruler of Schnitzeland passed without much dramatic occuring.  They invaded the surrounding cities, using the contracted lookamancy from Albinny as well as hiring Headmaster Isaac for more, specifically hiring him to better teach lookamancy to Maggie through practical demonstration. It was on the expensive side, but given that Albinny’s coffers still flowed ...

I should be able to get this into an acceptable state to move on to the next life in one more chapter. This has always been something of a self-indulgent outpouring of ideas that made making Book 2/3 difficult by distracting me, so I'm not too bothered about things running long.

Because Psychoprotective is done and is going ot have lots of potential options, I've decided that if it wins, there will be a short lightning round poll determining what it is, with the options being roughly where in the timeline you wish for the sidestory/omake to be. post book 1, 2, 3, 4th life, 5th life, etc.
