Chapter 74: The Key to Your Heart
We All Sleep Alone, Cher Previous | Chapter Listing | Next She didn’t trust her anymore. Truth be told, she’d never trusted her in the first place. Aine was dangerous, and Sitkamose had never believed otherwise. The question at the moment was simply what exactly it was that Aine was up to. Sitkamose hadn’t figured that out yet, though not for lack of trying. She had to give the woman this much, she was trickier than Sitkamose had been expecting. She was a worthy enough opponent, to be fair, if one Sitkamose wished she could skip. More disturbing was how Ra didn’t seem to be concerned about this. Aine could…

Eisenstern 1.7
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next It feels like I have visitors every time I turn around. Despite the fact that I live alone, it seems that I never have any peace or time to myself. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t mind this, but these are not quite normal circumstances. I’m more than a little pregnant, and I feel like a whale, and I’m tired, sore, and constantly hungry. Yet at the same time, I am also constantly queasy. How is that even fair? How can you possibly be starving, and also queasy? If feels like it should be illegal, removed from the list of options. But here I am,…

Corazon 9: Things Unforgiven
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The coffee shop was louder than he’d have liked. Emilia didn’t seem bothered by it, but it was certainly too loud for him. Ezio had only agreed to come here because Emilia liked it. This was her favourite coffee shop. Ezio could go anywhere else and be just fine, but he also preferred to make his own coffee. The two sat together at a table, watching the other patrons bustling around. Emilia had a latte, while Ezio had a mocha. “You seem to be in a better mood today,” Emilia said. Ezio looked surprised. “No I don’t,” he said. “I’m always like this.” “Don’t…

Chapter 73: But Why Should I Care
Forgotten, Linkin Park Previous | Chapter Listing | Next Drake was almost afraid to ask. Most recently, Ezio had been quieter more frequently, and for much longer than usual. Drake had only been there for a few hours, but the silence felt stifling and uncomfortable. Ezio had laid against him, and seemed to have decided he wasn’t moving from that spot. Ezio hadn’t moved, nor said anything. Drake figured out that he had a habit of overthinking things, and it merely served to work him up into an internal frenzy for nothing. As much as it felt like he should be able to do so, Drake had never proven capable…

Eisenstern 1.6
Notes: This was entirely dictated using Dragon, it may have slight mistakes. I think I got them all, though. By the way, if you like this, consider checking out Corazon, Ezio is also MC of that (Caleb is the other). I’d say check out Of Frost and Fire, also an Ezio story, but it’s a messy, dark train wreck. Good luck if you do. Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I can only hope that Sergio knows what he is doing. I don’t want to end up explaining to our child why he’s never around, especially since I can’t imagine I’d have any clue why. I have other things to…

Eisenstern 1.5
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next The garden is doing better than I could’ve ever hoped for. Soon, I want to find a few wild plants and splice them together. I’ve never seen spliced plants before, so I’m honestly not sure if it’s even really possible. I have no reason to think otherwise. Herbalists used to talk about the magical properties inherent in plants all the time. For the most part, I ignored this talk. It didn’t feel like anything I’d ever be interested in, but here I am, growing plants and wondering what all they do. While I spent most of my morning weeding the garden, I stood up…

Eisenstern 1.4
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I’ve gotten so good at fishing, I’m consistently catching decent fish. Salmon has a much better flavour to it than a guppy. Also, it’s bigger. Fishing wasn’t something I set out to master, but between being a decent source of food, and a decent source of income if I can find buyers at market, it just kind of happened. If nothing else, there are potions that require fish as ingredients. Eating or selling them sounds like a lot kinder of a fate than boiling them alive, so maybe I won’t ever use them for potions (have I mentioned potions aren’t exactly the greatest things…

Eisenstern 1.3
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next At the very least, I’ve managed not to freeze or anything terrible like that. It isn’t exactly the best out here on my own, but I’m starting to get used to it, and even kind of find it interesting. Practising magic seemed like a good idea, given my skill with spellcasting is rather abysmal. There’s a reason I’m not a sage, I guess, but unlike Morgyn I never saw a reason to train my magic that much. Morgyn just wanted to be better at everything than everyone else is, I guess. Turns out there are a lot of fishing spots scattered around. There aren’t…

Eisenstern 1.2
Previous | Chapter Listing | Next I woke up to a rain shower. Most would think that wasn’t a good sign, but I’ve never minded the rain. My aunt used to say that it was the rain that bound the earth and the sky. Well, it was pretty bound today, wasn’t it? I decided with it raining already, it was a good time to go swim around in the water behind my… lot. I guess it’s not really a house yet, is it? The water was warm, but cold temperatures never bothered me much. Even if the water was cold, I’d likely still think it was comfortable. I stayed in…

Eisenstern 1.1
Notes: Normally I wouldn’t want to be caught dead doing two writing projects at once, but the reality is this won’t take much effort. Literally the only thing I’ll be doing is regurgitating the game’s events in first person, and I have absolutely 0 inspiration for anything anymore so I doubt it’ll want to get more complicated than this. So, here we are, enjoy the Eisenstern legacy, I guess. I am playing on gen 2 by now, but it’ll take some time to get there. Chapter Listing | Next Most would say it was a dumb idea. Of course it was. Spending a metric fuckload of money on a random…
