Eisenstern 1.12
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I hadn’t thought about him in a while when, one morning, dad showed up at the doorstep. It was so nice to see him! I’d gotten so caught up in raising the kids that I’d forgotten to stay in touch with him, and in realising that, I became somewhat embarrassed and ashamed of it. I shouldn’t forget him. He was the one that raised me, and he might have some insight for me about raising stubborn little boys. After all, he raised the original stubborn little boy. Surprisingly, though, he tells me I wasn’t much of a buttmonkey. Supposedly that was Morgyn, but dad…

Eisenstern 1.11
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Notes: Fun trivia, Eisenstern 1.10 was post 110. Also unfortunately for him, Ezio and Drake rolled 4 kids. The holidays were soon to draw upon us. I’ve never been one for holidays-they seem primarily like a waste of time to me-but Bryn seemed interested in the festivities and I swallowed my pride and figured out how to pull off a proper Winterfest celebration. When I still lived alone, I got by shooting off fireworks on my own. But it was just me back then. Well, I guess Bryn was there for that too, though she hadn’t been born yet. We put up a tree,…

Chapter 77: Love and Hate Are One
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I Love You, I’ll Kill You; Enigma He was notably different. Sometimes, she still wondered if the differences were all in her head. There was no sense in asking him how he was doing. Ezio only ever smiled in that way that didn’t reach his eyes, and insist he was fine. Cassandra didn’t want to see him lying anymore, so she’d stopped asking. He sat in his wheelchair by the window. Anymore, Ezio was always by the window. Drake was at the table, typing away at something on his laptop-probably his next bestseller, if luck was on his side-and Cassandra was two seats over,…

Eisenstern 1.10
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I never know what to say in these things. Life goes as it always does. Bryn gets a little bigger every day. She’s growing fast, and yet not fast at all. I work a lot now, so I’m barely home. Some part of me will always feel bad about that, but it’s important to be able to keep the house running financially. Maybe it’s not an ideal arrangement, but it’s not as if we come from an ideal start, either. Likely, I could’ve made this whole situation much easier on myself by using magic, but there’s a certain measure of pride in succeeding without…

Chapter 76: I Built My Life Around You
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Landslide, Fleetwood Mac. “I’m not as upset about us breaking up as I expected to be,” Morgyn said, walking alongside Ezio. He was doing better, and tomorrow, Dr. Williams said that he could come home. Morgyn was excited for that. It’d be nice having him home, where he belonged, instead of here in the hospital, where it smelled and felt all kinds of wrong. Morgyn had eventually deduced this wrongness was the sage’s latent necromancy, suddenly no longer being so latent. Morgyn wasn’t sure what to make of that. Primarily, Morgyn didn’t think about it. “That’s good, at least,” Ezio said. “There’s no sense…

Eisenstern 1.9
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy. Most wouldn’t be surprised, and I shouldn’t have been either. I wasn’t. What I was, is annoyed. It takes a lot of work to keep my weight down into a healthy range, and unfortunately there’s something about my stocky build that makes me look very fat very quick. That’s considering all of the muscle that happens to be under there, which is quite a lot. Taking morning jogs seemed to be the most logical way of dealing with it. Drake is lucky, he lives on a diet of plasma fruit. Nobody’s ever gotten fat from plasma…

Chapter 75: And You Play Your Game
You Give Love a Bad Name; Bon Jovi Previous | Chapter Listing | Next They were, of course, avoiding each other. Caleb wasn’t surprised by this, considering how things had ended the last time they’d spoken. He was still somewhat disappointed by it. Or maybe that wasn’t the right word. Now, there seemed to be a lot of unspoken things between them, things that one or the other of them, or perhaps both, had no idea how to address, how to word. Morgyn got that look in those green eyes, and Caleb knew there was a lot behind them that the sage didn’t know how to say. And it hurt,…

Interlude: 10 Mar 2021
I’ve been playing this game since I was ten. I’ve been writing stories, in all kinds of genres and settings, since I was six. I have a driving passion for writing. Writing is what I do, I’ve been doing it day in and day out for over half my life. I’ve run role-plays day in and day out also for over half my life. And when I realised that there was a community that writes around The Sims, I was so excited and happy about getting involved and you know just sharing with the community and seeing all the neat things everyone else comes up with. Now we’re here. It’s…

Eisenstern 1.8
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Pregnancy is very unkind to me. It feels like it is unnecessarily difficult for me, where it would be notably easier for someone else. It could just be a matter of perspective. Of course, I don’t feel how someone else’s pregnancy feels for them. I am also built much differently than a woman would be. It is possible that this complicates things for me, where they would not for others. Either way, it ends in my being uncomfortable most of the time. It feels like I always need to use the bathroom, and I am constantly tired. It makes getting through school work a…

Corazon 10: Dream Us All Alive
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next “I’m sorry,” Lilith said. “I seriously did just forget about this. I’ve had a lot on my mind.” Caleb sighed. He knew that, but it didn’t make it any less frustrating, especially since Ezio had taken that particular instance of her forgetfulness very badly. Well, more accurately, that was Morgyn’s presence he found upsetting more than anything, but that was beside the point. “I know you did,” Caleb said, “but the result is the same, and at this point I think maybe your little gaffe is the least of our concerns right now. My date friend doesn’t seem to get along with yours.” “Why…
