Nygma, as he was not nearly as smart as he thought he was, took one of the options that Rhine put in front of him, instead of finding some clever third way around their threat. 

Instead of calling Rhine’s bluff, inviting violence upon himself in return for keeping his leverage… “...

This one fought me a lot too, this month's probably going to be bad for my commission posts.

-------------------

As has been previously mentioned, Rhine didn’t spend a lot of time accompanying Batman on his usual beat. This became even rarer after they figured out the soul-fragment...

This one really fought me.

“This is an OUTRAGE!” Bruce shouted, slamming his fist on the Batcomputer. “There is no way that Lex Luthor, the most high strung egomaniac in a C-suite, would ever let a single shred of mockery like this pass!”

Tanya, ...

Worm's Shoulder Devil 5

Mr. Hebert had decided that this day required comfort, so he had taken his daughter to what, to understand Taylor’s sense of wonder, was an Italian restaurant that had not been gone to since Mrs. Hebert had died. 

Their conversation was awkward, stilted. Neither of them could find th...

Devil's Consultancy 41

With the matter of Ace and Jason’s magical education handled for now, and Raven handling her duties as the teaching assistant, Tanya set about educating Raven on the practicalities of vigilantism. 

“Ninety percent of the time, the spells you will be asked to cast will fall into fiv...

Corrected September Poll

Sorry, I set up the poll incorrectly! I fixed it. You'll need to vote again.

Mage's journey 6

Fortunately, Tanya wasn’t really at liberty to travel, generally. She was still a child, and even in this time, that meant she had some level of constant supervision. Could she slip away unnoticed if she wanted? Absolutely. But it required active deception on her part. 

Knossus’ ph...

Devil's Consultancy 40

Once she actually teleported (using the zeta tube) back home, Tanya yawned as the day caught up to her. Escorting people through the bureaucracy was always such hard work, especially if they’re children… Worth it, yes, but she was tired. So much talking to people… Paying attention to their ...

Rhine took a moment to examine their surroundings. It appeared to be a ruined church of some kind, and something about it prickled with familiarity. It was when they saw one of the crosses, a chunk of stone removed from the center to break it apart, that it hit them: This was where they were init...

Scientific Chronicles 9

Despite an unwise amount of alcohol consumption, in the end the classes were designed that non-sparks were capable of passing, it was in the practical applications that the sparks were graded on higher standards. 

So while she did have to improvise a hangover remedy out of the contents...

Swordsman's adventure 27

The last of the three Kingdoms that were united into the Alvarez Empire was Stella, and as the name implied everything was named after stars and constellations. The biggest port was on the northernmost tip of the whole archipelago, named Genbu. 

“-so hypothetically, it is quite possi...

Devil's Consultancy 38

Random alien refugees aside, Jump City's Titans weren't officially open for business yet. Nightwing and Witch Girl had until the end of the month, in thirteen days, to instill some level of teamwork and coordination into the other three Titans, so that they'll be able to compete with the local, e...

Devil's Consultancy 37

Unsurprisingly, Cyborg (Tanya had given up on convincing him to change it) and Beast Boy were playing videogames, having already moved in as part of their Titans Initiative contracts even if the team wasn’t officially on duty yet. “Ooh!” Tanya said, jumping onto the couch between them and, ...

Blackwell immediately asserted her authority by speaking first. “Mister Hebert.” She said, “Now that everyone’s here, we can begin. We’re here to discuss incidents where one of our students has been victimized.”  She looked down at the folder she’d picked up as she began, “Mi...

“Zip the thing.” Tanya instructed as she maneuvered her own yarn-based character around the screen. 

Ace’s yarn guy lassoed the button on the background and yanked it, shifting the stage by turning the page of the fabric stage behind them. She lightly giggled at the whimsical act...

August Poll

No real announcement, just that I hope I can manage to continue my streak of two commissions a month for another month.

Magical Journey 5

It was pretty much a whole day late, so I'll release it publicly a day later too.

----------------------------

The thunder spirits were rather fickle, so the storm only allowed them to charge one more thunder tome before it calmed to a light shower, a fact that disappointed Mennehl i...

Devil's Consultancy 35

The Joker went on to elaborate on the details of his sick game: There were bombs spread around the Las Vegas Strip, and everyone had twenty minutes and change to defuse them. 

He said that the only ones allowed to participate in the game are those currently within the borders of Las Ve...

Swordsman's Adventure 26

Bosco’s largest trading city was a place called Pine Port. Tanya surveyed the traffic of ships moving in and out, noting that there were plenty of docks for everyone. Economic reports were one thing, but the sight of a half-empty dockyard really drove home how badly the local economy was doing....

Devil's consultancy 34

At first, Kara tried to say that Krypto was a dog from Krypton. Tanya didn’t buy it. While, strictly speaking, Krypton also having dogs was possible, it was also so absurdly stupid that Tanya refused to believe it. 

As it turned out, she was right to be skeptical. Krypto was a biodro...

Devil's consultancy 33

While driving along the American Interstate on a road trip from one side to the other was on Tanya’s lifetimes-old list of vacation ideas, any actual novelty wore off after the first few days. 

“That’s a lot of cows…” Tanya commented idly, watching the thousands of bovines id...

Scientific Chronicles 8

The slimes were even more popular than expected. Or rather, one of her advertisement plans had worked better than she could have dreamed. She had given a few, free of charge, to various young ladies that she had… charmed, during her tenure at the University. Between them, there was enough expos...

Devil's consultancy 32

Of all of the Justice League, the Flash’s powers had fascinated Tanya the most. Sure, Superman’s everything was interesting to contemplate, but the effect of it basically just made him an aerial mage, so there wasn’t much to imagine about it; she could simply use her considerable magical po...

Nothing much to say, it might be time to put that Fire emblem story into its own thread on Spacebattles if it wins again, though...

Mage's Journey 4

Tanya made sure to school her features; situations like this were, for someone who had experienced multiple dimensions, particularly perilous. She had once more applied her understanding from previous lives to this one, and it failed. Therefore, she needed to assess the situation.

Not my best work, I'll admit, but this road trip arc is kind of experimental anyway.

------------------

Tanya had gotten bored with irritating Richard, as was her right as a little sister, after about three hours. Enough time for them to cross state lines, and if they had gone on the ...

I know this one contains a bit of a surprise crossover, but it is absolutely canonical to at least one Batman property.

I also feel obligated to remind y'all that this story is primarily a comedy/slice of life, so silly chapters like this one is more true to my vision than the more action-...

I know updating something in the middle of the night on Saturday is normally a bad sign, but Monday's update is already finished, don't worry about it.

“So let me get this straight.” Amanda Waller said after their introductory explanation. “You, a global defense agency, want access to my comatose prisoner, that your people put him in even,” She glared at Gear, who was about to clarify, but he quieted at the withering look. “-so you can...

Devil's Consultancy 28

Something she couldn’t really get away with anymore was being her usual persona during charity galas and other high society parties. The children of the rich and famous were expected to comport themselves well, and as she was now not only nine years old temporally, but supposedly also brilliant...
