But of course there's no such thing as time travel.

TinkleWhiz, a robot from planet Sbarchink, acquires a magical power: he can turn invisible and roll through matter at will. He slowly discovers the joys of his new power and has some fun with it, until he gets a bit carried away and breaks the law when fame goes to his head.

Magic disappeared. Magic returned. And then, the world ended. This is our world, but not our world. It is a world of islands, floating in the sky. Once there was magic. Then for a time, there was none. And then there was magic again. Once, long ago, magic disappeared from the world so completely that the people who lived then came to believe magic had never been. They were wrong, and magic returned, and those people pridefully fought the very gods in a terrible war, a destructive war, which only ended when the surface of the world had been cracked asunder and cast up into the sky. Now the world is broken into pieces, into separate islands, floating slowly in the sky. Now the people of this age live as best they can, scavenging and fighting and loving, doing all the things people have always done, but now doing those things in the sky. On one island, Sema, a farm girl, watches as her family are killed by pirates. On another, in a city, a thousand miles to south, Cassa is about to marry a man she does not love. Sema must survive, and in her own way Cassa must survive too. Slowly they are drawn together, and their meeting may save the world. * * * * * So because it turns out if I do normal romance everyone hates me, I’m going to try a couple of different things... So this is fantasy, just because, so... um, here! I’m not sure how it’ll go because I haven’t tried before, but if you’d like to look, then please do! Oh, the odd chapter numbering is because I'm kind of thinking longer chapters, and swapping between the two characters, so 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 are the parts of chapter one and about Sema, and then 2.1 is the start of the actual chapter 2. If that makes sense :) And also, thank you for looking!

Very short poem-stories.

There is no business as usual when the early stages of new building construction unearths a violation of physics and causality. (Now the Fictionette Freebie for July 2017! Full text inside!)

Hana is a recently graduated diplomat, leaving on her first assignment. She must travel to a world she has never heard of and try to stop a war. The war may already have begun. It may never have happened. There is no way to know, until she arrives, because news can only travel as fast as a starship. Hana has no authority, and no ability to compel the warring parties to make peace, and she cannot leave until the war is over. And if that takes more than a week - the length of time a starship remains in orbit around any planet - then the vessel she arrived on will leave without her, and she will have to wait for the next. That wait could take her whole life. It is a backwater planet, with neither strategic importance nor much of anything to trade. Exactly the kind of planet a recent-graduated diplomat is sent to. And on a forgotten, backwater planet, in a turbulent, seething galaxy, that next ship might be a very long time coming. It could be years, or even decades. If Hana fails to make peace in a week, she may be stuck, and her career over before it has begun. She may also be dead, if her peacemaking goes very badly wrong. * * * And to save people starting if it isn’t their thing, this is meant to be gritty, realistic space opera. So no aliens, no FTL, no neutrino communications, the technology is just there and who cares how it works, planets are sovereign polities and interplanetary war is almost impossible - and also pointless - but conflicts within a planet are common and this is what Hana wants to stop. So also, she isn’t saving the galaxy or anything important!

📚2018 Wattys Shortlist!📚 An ancient evil returns. The Huntsmen of Muspelheim want the Codex Lacrimae, so they've set a trap in 12th Century Crusader lands to get it! Believed lost for half a millennium, the Codex Lacrimae reappears when an old scholar brings the Dark Book to the Hospitaller castle of the Krak des Chevaliers. Unwittingly, that action leads the malevolent Huntsmen to the one person they've been seeking: Ríg, an apprentice who trains the warrior-monks in the castle's library and seeks only a quiet existence because of a haunted past. The arrival of the Codex Lacrimae and its supernatural temptations will force Ríg to choose between the peaceful path of a priest or violent ways of a warrior. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, the Norns of Fate try to counter the Huntsmen's plot by casting a net around Clarinda Trevisan, a beautiful Venetian sea merchant's daughter who is content to sail with her father's fleet throughout the Mediterranean Sea. After her father disappears, Clarinda's attempt to solve the mystery pulls her into both Ríg's orbit and matters far greater than the cargoes and crews that usually occupy her time. The girl must learn the ways of war and magic to fulfill Fate's role, and confront strange creatures of Norse mythology, a nefarious Templar Grandmaster, the magical Nine Worlds, and a tempestuous relationship with Ríg himself! The return of the Codex Lacrimae unleashes a host of evils that might challenge even the most star-crossed of lovers. If Clarinda & Ríg can't stop the Huntsmen of Muspelheim, Hela and her Wilde Jagd, the Dragon Fafnir, the armies of Saladin, & a mysterious figure whose dark designs are centuries in the making, they'll find the worlds of the Multiverse at the brink of annihilation!

First book on here, usually I just write them down on paper so this is a change of pace for me. So, yeah this is a Silard story (Silver x Shard) I'm not sure if any other sonic fans besides me ship this or not...any pictures in this story is by their original artist I didn't draw anything.

Space is vast, and the Hauler is alone. It is a kilometers-long train of supplies, but it has been off course for years. Its lone inhabitant used to get transmissions from Earth, but eventually, even those stopped. An occasional visitor might be nice.
