    Chapter 1

    Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1

    I do these short stories as a writing exercise, characterization... style experiments... themes I don't normally do. Trying to stretch and grow as a writer. Some work, some don't. But I learn something from each one I write that helps my more long form projects develop. Inspiration comes from Song Lyrics, or something I saw on a video while doom scrolling... or just random ideas along the lines of "What if...?" This one was @Thirdly. Just a little nudge to try something outside of my usual comfort zone. I think I should start doing some of the prompt challenges.... last year I did one regarding Cambodia, rivers and stone. I am looking forward to that challenge again, the randomness of it gives me something to get my teeth into.

    He's starting to realize he's a person, and that Shem isn't going to hurt him... or TAKE from him. The first time someone has shown him that he has agency over himself.

    Chapter Three: The Hunters The snow had stopped sometime before dawn, but the cold hadn't. It clung to everything—their coats, their horses' manes, the rocks that jutted from the hillside like broken teeth. Shem rode with his shoulders hunched, his breath pluming white, his hand resting on the bar mace across his saddle. Kamyk was behind him, small and green and silent, his fingers hooked through Shem's belt. Patryk rode at the rear. The shepherd had been quiet since they le

    Mrs. Hartley is going to love having a second Grandchild calling her Gam-Gam. Mr. Hartley will moan about his refrigerator and grocery bill, but we all know he's secretly a big softie.

    The Emerald Vista Resort and Spa had seen many things in its decades of operation. It had hosted wealthy tourists with demands that defied the laws of physics, eccentric billionaires who insisted on bathing in imported mineral water, and the occasional minor celebrity attempting to evade the paparazzi. It had weathered tropical storms, economic downturns, and the inevitable, unyielding chaos of peak tourist season. But it had never, in its entire, meticulously curated history, been forced to dea

    I want it noted, Will did it first

    Peter is going spelunking.

    You are right, she should have... and that's on me. I was more focused on Righteous Andrew doing it.
  11. Topher Lydon
    Andrew is going to have to wait for that financial trace. Yani might be busy for an hour or two. And serves Andrew right for locking the poor guy in a safehouse basement for months. Peter's providing a humanitarian service...

    At this point, Will is arguably the second most powerful man in Parliament, and amongst the most powerful men in the country. For our American cousins, Will is the equivalent of The House Minority Leader.

    M-Mister Peter, sir... (Poor Yani's going to get more than a Pumpkin Spice Latte)

    The corridors of Centre Block in the Ottawa Parliament buildings hummed with the frantic, highly caffeinated, deeply neurotic energy that always preceded Question Time. The air inside the historic, Gothic Revival structure was thick with the scent of old floor wax, damp wool overcoats, and the sharp tang of freshly printed briefing dossiers. Staffers in tailored, dark suits rushed past one another with armfuls of thick binders, their voices echoing off the carved limestone arches and vaulted, ha

    I was in a Telenovela mood.

    Luca's sister is getting married. The music is playing. The champagne is flowing. Everything is perfect—until Luca spots him across the ballroom. The man who stole his youth. The man who broke him and threw him away. Now Marco is back, playing the charming family friend, his dark eyes promising destruction. Luca can't leave. He can't tell anyone. And Marco knows it. Trapped in a nightmare of silk and flowers, Luca must survive the night without shattering—or destroying his sister's perfect day. But some predators don't know when to leave.

    The needle of the DJ’s turntable hit the vinyl with a sharp, heavy scratch, unleashing a blast of vintage brass and a driving, relentless bassline that vibrated through the floorboards of the grand ballroom. The sudden burst of music was meant to signal the transition from polite dinner conversation to the raucous, celebratory heart of the wedding reception, but to Luca, it sounded like a warning siren. He stood near the edge of the sprawling dance floor, a tall, impossibly thin figure swal

    They're both muppets... but they got there. Just needed that idiot Taine to get out of the way. "Seriously, screw that guy!" Pip popping a mushroom fritter and smirking.

    Yani probably has coffee minions by now... and a volcano lair.

    To the divine, untarnished mind of Angelo the Cherub, the universe was meant to be a place of absolute, crystalline order. Heaven operated on a system of concentric spheres, harmonious choirs, and unfathomably complex bureaucratic hierarchies that ensured every falling sparrow and shifting constellation was properly documented and filed. From the moment he had manifested in the celestial realms, Angelo had been taught that to be good was to be quiet, to be still, and to be perfectly, undeniably

    He was another of the oneshot characters that just took on a life of his own. Andrew needed someone to handle the technical side of things, and given his actions in Recourse where he saved Andrew's life, he sort of earned it. So I needed to show how he went from where he ended in that book, to where we find him (shuffling around the residence in Canada House wearing bunny slippers and completely comfortable in Will's space as part of the family) Still need to get him a long term partner, poor guy has the WORST track record for dating in my books. (Next to Jimmy from Tales of course )
