  1. "Did someone say POWERFUL, and bribe WITH SNACKS?"
  2. The Veth are awful, their views on sentient life are despicable. It can be argued that Mickey has done Kyle a favour. Kyle doesn't see it this way, but Micky might argue it... while running from a string of Veth patrol ships desperate to castrate him.
  3. An idea that Kyle will find just and fair! #Freeprobingforkyle!
  4. One thing has changed, Isaiah doesn't give up. Dimitri has a parent that isn't going anywhere.

    Book TWO
  6. The Veth are mildly annoyed... Mickey being Mickey, has somehow managed to create an interstellar incident... AGAIN
  7. The pilot's chair of the Vega Vixen III had molded itself to Isaiah Bell's body over eighteen months of constant use. The cracked leather had softened in all the right places. The armrests bore the faint impression of his elbows. The seat had conformed to his spine in a way that was almost, but not quite, uncomfortable—like a hug from someone who wasn't entirely sure you wanted to be hugged. He wasn't sitting in it. Dimitri Ryder-Bell was. Eleven years old, all elbows and knees
  8. The Alcubierre drive was, theoretically speaking, a masterpiece of higher-dimensional physics. A marvel of spatial folding that allowed a vessel to slip the surly bonds of light-speed and ride the very fabric of the universe itself. An instrument of precision, requiring delicate calibration, profound mathematical understanding, and a gentle, coaxing hand at the helm. Mickey Ryder drove it like a stolen cargo skiff with a stuck throttle and a busted transmission. *"You are riding the
  9. A washed-up captain steals an alien saucer, crashes it into a pre-spaceflight civilization, and accidentally abducts a terrified teenage local. Now he's stranded with a hostile hostage, a sarcastic AI, and a teleporter that turns livestock inside out. To make things worse, his estranged husband is tracking him across the galaxy—and the real owners of the ship want everyone dead. A chaotic sci-fi romp about bad decisions, found family, and learning that running from your problems just creates bigger ones.

    I would also draw attention to Darien's mental state, and his exhaustion through the chapters. Wylan is beginning to realize that something is wrong with Darien, I've received some DM's of people asking, and I am confirming, Yes there is. Good catch to those folks that spotted it early.

    Chapter 8

    It's rare that Lloyd is the clueless one. I think it's because he doesn't really see Stephan as a sexual being, just his Kid/Squire. I mean he'd immediately pick up on it if it were Ashot, or Julian... but not the "good" one.

    hah, read on, find out for yourself. The Emir is far from done.

    well he is a bit delicate, femboy might be a good descriptor

    Chapter 8

    The Emir, Ashot, and Stephen are really important to the main plot. Comedy aside, Jerusalem wouldn't have fallen were it not for those three. As you will see.

    Chapter 8

    Ashot's professional disdain over their technique. He's outraged not at what they are doing, but how poorly they are doing it. All the while reminding Stephan that there's a much better option in the garden.

    Chapter 8

    The Emir of Tyre has a fascination with Stephen *ahem* poor boy is so sheltered he has no idea... much to Ashot's sheer delight and profit.

    Chapter 8

    Darien's kingdom grows. Mamistra, the Celician Gates, St. Simeon and down the coast with Tripoli, Beruit and Tyre all under his flag, and bending the knee. At this point he has taken more cities than the other Lords of the Crusade combined. While the others sit and squabble in Antioch, the Prince of Galilee closes his grip over a massive haul of treasure, land, and supplies.

    Chapter 18

    Why to I hear bad, slow country, horses riding across farms, and a scarecrow. Bo Burnham singing, and turning the label outwards so you can definitely see it, wearing 3000$ boots that have never seen a fleck of mud. "Denver Lite" that kind of guy's beer.

    Chapter 7

    I'll get there, just need to develop a story for it, that's the tough part. It's proving tough to figure out one that fits. I'll get there, but remember it's only been half a year.

    "Don't massacre the musicians, Val." Good morning.
  21. The ancient, island city of Tyre did not cower behind its massive fortifications when the Vanguard of the Silver Boar arrived on the mainland coast. It did not shutter its windows, barricade its heavy timber doors, nor did it send out a sweating, hyperventilating envoy dressed in yellow silk to beg for mercy on the dusty plains. Instead, as Darien Haskal brought his thousand heavy infantrymen and three hundred Friesian-mounted knights to a synchronized, thunderous halt at the landward edge
