Corrina: No Victories Here

Ray: Three issues in, the two stories in this Suicide Squad anthology are diverging in quality, and not in the way I expected. I haven't been a huge fan of Jai Nitz's previous El Diablo stories (although it is very impressive that he's consistently written the character in all his solo appearances since his debut), but this six-part story has elevated the character by pairing him with his own team of magical-bases convicts. Combining originals and obscure DC antiheroes into a dysfunctional unit, this issue pits them against a major threat in the form of Sebastian Faust. The son of Felix Faust has been a hero or antihero for most of his run, but his heel turn this issue is given a good reason - even as he desperately tries to escape the curse his father put on him, it keeps coming back to haunt him. The schism in the team makes sense, and Klarion and Gentleman Ghost in particular get some good scenes.

On the other hand, the Katana story by Mike Barr seems to be losing some momentum this issue. Katana's body has been stolen by Eve, the lover of the leader of Kobra, and the two of them have some weird love play going on with her stuck in the body of her arch-nemesis. The Suicide Squad battle the seemingly-evil Katana and Halo (the poor naive girl just can't figure out what's going on and is defending her foster mom even if she's acting kind of evil).

More compelling is Katana trapped inside the Soulsword. With Maseo by her side she battles against the evil previous owner of the sword as well as an army of undead minions. This feels like a genuine relationship, which is a point in its favor, but too much of it feels like a generic zombie thriller. The ending sets up more Freaky Friday antics in the next three issues. Both stories are readable, but the former has more hooks to bring me back.

"She could have died today for me, and I didn't even know her name." ------------------------- Imagine that there are no limits for you. No yesterday and no tomorrow. Imagine that your entire existence, your life, your thoughts were focused on only one goal: To be free. A life in captivity was replaced by a life on the run. Restlessness and distrust are the only companions. Madness lurks in the dreams - night after night - a destroyed landscape, a blood-red sky, accompanied by three words full of hate and craving: "On your knees!" But an encounter changes everything - a blue Katana and a purple Bo are stopping the endless escape. A flame is kindled in those who love each other. And Donnie asks himself one question: "Will this fire warm me or burn me?" ------------------------- First part of a sequel! Watch out, dear reader. It's getting long, dark and epic - but I will do everything to bring also some light into this story. The turtles are aged up! Minors, stay away! There will be many intense emotions, conflicts and concrete descriptions of battle scenes, fluff and smut (and movie spoilers) But maybe also a happy ending if we stick together until the end. Are you with me? ------- Awards: #1 donniexreader #1 donnie #1 rottmnt #1 leonardo #1 risedonnie #1 rise #1 donniexoc #1 raph #1 disastertwins #1 donatello #1 leo #1 tmntlovestory ------------------------- Cover by @knightish-knight on Tumblr &lt;3 rottmnt belongs to nickelodeon and OC belongs to me Edit: the woman in this story is described concretely. if you have trouble with that, this book is probably not for you.

'You have my word, I'm with you till the end.' *READ THE GIRL IN THE GLADE + THE GIRL IN THE SCORCH* It's been six months, six months since they lost Minho, and now the time has finally come to get him back.

But she can't do it alone. (Y/n) and her rebellious group must break into a heavily fortified WICKED base where they're holding Minho. But as they come to find, this mission becomes way more than just a rescue. It becomes an operation. An operation with the soul purpose of WICKED's destruction. The group meets new allies, reunites with old foes, and find old friends. But more problems arise, problems that will effect more than just the mission. (Y/n) feels all the weight of leadership on her shoulders as tough calls must be made, but will they be the right ones? Will they save Minho? Will they defeat WICKED? Will (Y/n) and Newt ever express their feelings to one another? Will they make it to the Safe Haven? Will (Y/n) ever get her dream future? But most importantly... Will everyone make it out alive? *Definitely The Longest Book Out Of The Three!* (This is a Newt fanfic that is based primarily on the movies, though some aspects will be from the books. Some plot points however, have been twisted to fit my own story line!) ---------------------- This is the THIRD book of the series! ♥️ *Go Check Out The Girl In The Glade!* *Go Check Out The Girl In The Scorch* ---------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own the Maze Runner Franchise - all character rights and plot points (beside y/n and my own plot points) belong to James Dashner and Wes Ball
Mad World by TheLacedaemon
36 parts Ongoing
When magical beasts cross into Japan through portals, magical huntresses (and some magical huntsmen) are there to slay them. Consisting of a group of teenagers and young adults working semi-independently under the guise of the Protection and Research Agency, they fight day in and day out for a variety of reasons, using special rings to transform and gain weapons to use in their battles, for which they get paid for each magical beast they kill and bonuses if they save anyone attacked by them. One particular magical huntress, the sword-swinging orphan Ruka Kishio, is asked to join a small group of these hunters led by the charismatic Hana Miyashita, who herself wields a katana and is descended from former nobility, after Hana sees Ruka easily kill a beast by herself while on lunch break from school. Ruka, a girl with a troubled and at times traumatic past who usually fought alone, accepts after barely losing a sword duel to Hana. She soon finds herself bonding with the other members of the Fox Knights, in particular their second-in-command and only boy Yoshiro Arikawa despite the two of them frequently arguing, and she also finds herself becoming its third-in-command and primary trainer as they battle magical beast after magical beast. However, Hana has deeper ambitions to restore the honor of her family name, and she aspires to attain power by any means necessary. Can Ruka help Hana with her dreams, or will she be swept up in them? (Specific warnings: Mentions/depictions of abuse committed by some antagonists, graphic depictions of violence, homophobia/transphobia by some antagonists.) Cover art by littleruby726.

Breathe [mature romance] - PREVIEW ONLY by elsetterby
10 parts Complete Mature
This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.​ ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.
