Bureaucracy Stories

A candle flame repeats its exact flicker pattern. Nobody notices. Nobody except the exchange student who documents everything. Khari Vane is seventeen, American, Muggle-born, and the only person at Hogwarts who sees the glitch. A two-second loop in a candle flame. A ward signature that tastes like copper every time he walks through a doorway. A castle that's been deciding who belongs inside it for a thousand years - and something new is making it reconsider. When his investigation pulls him past the edge of what Hogwarts can explain, he finds he's not the only one tracking the anomaly. A mechanic from the undercity of Zaun with an instrument that reads frequencies between dimensions. A Kamar-Taj sorcerer whose geometric precision is starting to crack. Three people from three worlds, following the same thread into the space between realities. What they find isn't a villain. It's a filing system. A bureaucratic dimension that catalogs reality the way an institution processes paperwork - and it's decided that some entries don't belong in the index anymore. You don't beat bureaucracy with force. You beat it by making yourself more trouble to process than to leave alone. HP/Arcane/Marvel crossover. OC-centric. Fully written - 12 chapters, around 100K words. New chapter every Thursday.

Barnabas Whitmore thought his discovery of summoning coordinates to a new world would bring him academic clout and fame. Instead, a drunken portal battle brings him an extra-dimensional human, an unstable portal that refuses to close, and a government agency asking too many questions. Prompt 62: They say every door has its own key. Except for one, a key said to open them all. Warnings: Profanity, alcohol use, dark humor

Some crimes leave blood. Others leave paperwork. Aarav Shaikh is very good at endings. When cases threaten to become loud-too public, too messy-he knows how to make them disappear quietly. Files close. Records align. People move on. What remains is order. Except this time, something doesn't stay buried. Fragments surface: missing hours, sealed files, a woman who remembers what he chose to forget. As Aarav retraces a trail he himself designed to vanish, he begins to realize the truth is not missing-it was managed. This is not a story about guilt. It is a story about efficiency. About choices that feel humane until you examine them closely. About forgetting-not as failure, but as survival. And about the most dangerous kind of crime: the kind that leaves no further action required.

When ordinary civil servant Elias wakes one morning to find his life entwined in the bewildering workings of a faceless justice system, he embarks on a labyrinthine journey to prove his innocence in a case he neither understands nor recalls being part of. In a world governed by nonsensical rules, where every ally might be an adversary, Elias's pursuit of clarity becomes a harrowing descent into a surreal reality that mirrors the inner struggles of humanity itself.

This poem was inspired after reading "Just Say No: The Spectator on the 1975 Referendum." The arguments articulated by prominent Leave campaigners helped to construct the poem along with the infamous fallout following the 2016 referendum. The rhyming verse stanza of the poem is written in terza rima.

Nothing is ever as it seems. When a person stares into a mirror, rarely do they see themselves as they are. The glass fragments the image, distorts the truth, presents a version-a shadow-of what might exist. In the intricate machinery of society, mirrors are everywhere: in the systems that govern, in the choices presented, in the beliefs slowly carved into stone. All reflect but none reveal. _Fractured Mirrors: The Anatomy of Control_ is not a comforting book. Comfort is a luxury reserved for those oblivious to the machinations that shape them. This book is an exhumation, a scalpel slicing through flesh and bone to reveal the mechanisms of domination, the levers operated behind indifference and cold utilitarian logic.

One coffee, two dimensions, multiple republics.

Death is no longer a mysterious fate. Now it's a government job. Fixed schedule, paperwork, HR department, and tons of forms. Every death is a case - signed, stamped, and officially approved. There are courts, appeals, and emergency reschedulings. Clients complain, protest, and file claims about the cold reception and unjustified departure from life. Welcome to the Department of Final Services - a system where death runs like clockwork. There's no mysticism here, no mourning. Only instructions. Only protocol. But the system is failing. More and more people are refusing to die. They submit complaints. Demand answers. And someone has to respond - before Death herself ends up on trial.
