Bio
I'm the guy who knows every last fact about Spider-man and if I don't I'll track it down. I love bad movies, enjoy table-top gaming, and probably would drive you crazy if you weren't ready for it.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 17: Every Piece Moves
Deezle the Defiler felt something, an itch at the back of his skull. He had been left alone on monitor duty, he was always left alone on monitor duty, and so he had begun to trust that itchy feeling. He looked at the various scrying mirrors that they had set up; each was paired to another mirror at a different location, allowing the demons to keep an eye out on what happened at distant sites. Most of them looked normal; all but the one had a crack through it and had gone black; it wasn't even reflecting.

Brass Ring Interlude 4: When The Cherry Blossom Finds The Wind
Onna-Bugeisha exited a simple tunnel and entered her basement. She was fully armored, but her paired katana were sheathed. While she hated sneaking into her home, she and Kaneda had decided it was necessary if she were to remain with CAPES, providing her with a haven none of her enemies would know of. She smiled as she remembered him pulling out a shovel to help dig the tunnel even as the Steel Amazon had appeared to help her dig it. She had had to broker a compromise, suggesting that if he could make them tea with a light snack that would be sufficient for his share of the project. He had acquiesced, and the two women finished the tunnel, including supports, within a couple of hours. The strawberry teacakes he served that day were still her favorite. He sat back and let the two women enjoy being who they were while he cheered them on.

Been There, Done That: The Traveler Mage Subclass
Been There, Done That: The Traveler Mage Subclass Hogarth teleported in. Thankfully, the information he had on the coordinates proved accurate. He looked at the dial in front of him; he had never seen such a wheel before, but after consulting his journal he had several ideas which numbers would get him past it. He dialed in the first set of numbers and the stone door ground open. Inside lay treasure, but not of the golden kind: Scrolls of a papyrus that hadn’t sunlight in a thousand years and a few artifacts of a forgotten age. He cast a spell of comprehension and looked through them for a moment, the scrolls would rewrite history. He smiled, gathered as many scrolls and artifacts as he could, then teleported out.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 16: On Not Becoming a Shrimp's Dinner
Sal and Hajime were walking down the pier as a group of merchants were running the other way. Some of them were covered in stew. They looked at each other and shrugged. As they came closer to the Hell’s Wrath they saw Rick putting away the catapult and a couple of boys from the mess rubbing the big pot down. Rick saw them, and bellowed, “Heave to!” They rushed up the gangplank, past splotches on the pier, and it was taken in just as they hit the deck. Hajime kept moving to his quarters, where he quickly secured the book and shucked off the more confining of his clothes. He was down to tunic and breeches and then up to the crow’s nest to help guide the ship out.

I'm Going to Raise Myself An Army: The Necromantic General
Branchae surveyed the field in front of him. He had thirty zombies in the field, twenty with swords and ten with bows, versus forty orcs. He smiled. He had his twenty swordszombies charge into battle and his ten bowzombies rain arrows on the orcs. His bowzombies would keep changing targets when their targets were eliminated, with one looking for the chieftain. He sent his crawling hand off around the bend to look for the orc leader. The orc leader saw the hand and charged it. The hand retreated and the chieftain followed it. Once he popped into sight of the bowzombies, Branchae had them change their targeting; the chieftain was quickly peppered with arrows. The orcs were easily cleaned up.

Chicken Soup of the Heart
She was finally asleep. He leapt into action. The flame on the oven went on immediately. He started boiling the chicken broth. He opened up the chicken breasts and plopped them into the broth. Three days ago, she had caught a cold and had never let it go. He chopped up the vegetables, starting with the carrots, moving on to the celery, and even an onion or two. They had tried the Nyquil, the Dayquil, all the quils, all to no effect. He minced parsley and added it, with the vegetables, to the soup. She slept a lot, thankfully, but still retained the temperature.
