Returning to No Applause Epilogue

I decided to make the two last chapters into one, so... Yeah. This is it. 

Thank you all for reading, and I hope you'll stick around for the AU!

It was 14:00 on a Saturday. The morning had been hectic and so had last night.

Kreig...

Returning to No Applause Ch.100 (Yippie!!)

It wasn’t here. Not here, not there.

Her hands were red and cold and wet and freezing and she wanted to go home but there would be no home for her there, only men with guns who wanted to kill her and a creature that could destroy continents that wanted to kill her and everything and every...

Skyscrapers and lights like stars flashed past below them. Kreig would certainly have liked to fly faster, but not with Erica in his grasp. The last time Kreig could remember flying with someone in his arms was when Peter has asked to see how it felt. At that time, Kreig had excitedly done loops ...

Returning to No Applause Ch.98

At the door to her apartment, Erica was enthusiastically met by her cat, Bellybutton. Smiling, Erica bent down and picked her up, letting the tabby cat balance across her shoulders while she prepared a simple dinner for the both of them. Since she wanted to read Jay’s article as soon as possibl...

Returning to No Applause Ch.97

They came home at the normal time, with Sam arriving before George. Since Kreig wasn’t entirely done with the dinner, Sam spent a little while helping him finish up.

And there they were, eating dinner just like so many times before.

“Was Erica here?” George asked sensibly. The p...

Returning to No Applause Ch.96

Another lesson gone off without a hitch. As the bell rang, the students began milling out of the classroom, the last few papers being handed in as they went. Erica cheerfully said goodbye to each of them.

A collection of papers a good bit thicker than the rest was placed in her hands and sh...

Becoming a Troll Ch.19

By the time the sun sets, I’ve been able to dig myself a pretty comprehensive little hole. I only had to take a snack break a few times, which allowed me to follow in close detail exactly how the first stages of bodily decomposition took place. The important thing was that as long as you chewed...

To Become a Troll Ch.18

I awaken slowly as though dragging my conciousness out of a murky, oily pit of tar. I am sitting on dry land, my whole body soaked to the skin, weighed down by about ffifteen pounds of wet fur. There is meat and bone and organ tissue and skin in both of my hands and also in my mouth. I’m absent...

To Become a Troll Ch.17

Yeah, there’s the bastard. To think he would dare show his face before me again…! But this time, I will show no mercy! My body might not be large enough to effortlessly seal its fate, but I know already that I will no doubt be able to take it down. It has neither claws nor fangs. What have I ...

To Become a Troll Ch.16

...It feels like I blacked out or something there.

Where did I… What happened here? Everything is dark. Is it still nighttime? But I feel hot, and sticky, and…

Memories from the night before flood my mind and I feel like vomiting. My-, my arm, my legs…

They’re all there....

Happy Halloween Drawing Process

i fuckin love procreate’s video making feature. fantastic

Returning to No Applause Ch.95

For hours, she just sat there in the middle of the clearing, reading the files and documents until it got dark. Then she had to use her phone as a flashlight, but when its battery ran out, she was left in the dark. By that point the moon stood high above the half-shedded treetops, but she didn’...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

To Become a Troll Ch.15

Its eyes flashes and it lunges at me. I leap into the air and skip over its head, tumbling onto its back. I try to get a good grip but only having one arm makes it difficult. In desperation I try to bite down only to find my teeth unable to pierce the hide in one go. Taking advantage of my situat...

To Become a Troll Ch.14

I wake up in the middle of the night, feeling predictably groggy. At first, I’m not sure what woke me up, but then I hear a piercing scream that stabs through the quiet of the night like a dagger through my chest. Eyes wide and horrified, I leap to my feet and crawl out of the squirrel’s hole...

To Become a Troll Ch.13

That was quite a lot of levels, considering that it was just a squirrel. It wasn’t even all that hard to kill.

Arms really are the best.

Now, before I do anything else, I’d better get up in the tree. If the fox came around right now, it would easily steal my food.

Wrapping m...

To Become a Troll Ch.12

By stretching out I can feel the Hamnskifte going away, which is a pretty odd sensation to say the least. This leaves me with a situation I hadn’t really experienced as a Mossling.

I feel hungry.

This could be attributed to the fact that Mosslings, much like my teenage self, survive...

To Become a Troll Ch.11

Sitting up here, I try to relax and let the rest of the evolution take its course. But it’s hard. No matter what, I can’t let myself stop looking around me. If something were to approach me right now, I would definitely die.

It takes a few minutes, but the evolution does finally complet...

To Become a Troll Ch.10

I see two Little here, but I’ll begin with the first one just for the sake of it.

Moss Child. Probably the natural evolution of the Mossling. Going just by the name, I’d guess it’s around the size of a child, which isn’t all that bad. Furthermore, it seems generally friendl...

The mouse pressed below me gives a final, rattling sigh of death.

Returning to no Applause Ch.94

The cold air of autumn rushed past her as she biked without thinking about much of anything. Normally, in a situation as strange and incomprehensible as this one, her mind would be bustling with thoughts and ideas and possible explanations of what was happening. But not here. Not now. She had alr...

Returning to No Applause Ch.93

When Jay entered the classroom the next morning, she found a little letter lying on her desk.

Eyes drawn to it, she sat down and began turning it over. For one, it was clearly already opened. The little wax seal that had formally shut it so tightly was loose in parts, though it still clung ...

Short Story: Craig POV of chapters 7-8, 22-30

This short story was requested by Eric Wharton as part of the special offer!

Being a Fighter really wasn’t all it was hyped up to be.

For many people, the job had taken on some of the grandeur and power that the military or police force used to h...

To Become a Troll Ch.7

With a piercing squeal, the mouse throws itself at me, its little claws and teeth bared. Predicting such a simple form of attack, I dodge it, though with the tunell being so small, my back quickly meets the wall. The mouse turns back to me, readying itself for another attack. But just as it opens...

To Become a Troll Ch.6

Sure enough, the closer it gets, the more obvious its mousey-ness becomes. It’s really just a mouse. Grey and small with little hands and feet and big, shiny eyes. Every few seconds, it pops up its head and sniffs the air before going down and all fours again and running about. I might almost c...

To Become a Troll Ch.5

I wake up with a startle, my eyes darting back and forward. That… is new. Not even in my youngest, most innocent of years did I have the ability to fall asleep within seconds of lying down. This has to be some magical skill of some sort, even if it was never mentioned in the screen. Of course, ...
