You can learn a lot from gazing out to sea. But, for the Men of the Watch, it's not so much a pass time as an article of faith.

This story was written a long, long time ago and, like the other short stories I've posted here, is a little over-written. As with the others, I've resisted the temptation to edit it and I've posted it here in all its original, if rather immature glory.

In those days I often used to look for inspiration by scanning the titles of books listed at the back of the paperbacks on my bookshelf. One of the titles I stumbled across that way, was "Watchmen". I hadn't read it at that time, and I didn't even know it was a graphic novel. The title, though, was the jumping off point for this story.  (N.B. I've since read "Watchmen" many times, and - in case the source of inspiration has got anyone excited - I should probably add that my little story bears no resemblance to Alan Moore's great opus!)All Rights Reserved

Dance with Radio Demon: Alastor x fem!reader by 221b_blogger101

⚠️WARNING⚠️: This story was written and published before the first season was fully released! Details and revelations after the pilot episode were not known and this book is based on information known prior to the announcement of S1. ~~~ Y/n wasn't at the bottom of Hells hierarchy, she was actually quite high despite being a mere sinner. Having territory have her status; though she had the powers to take more territory she kept with dancing (a hobby she enjoys). Being friends with the triple V overlords gave her chaos everywhere she went though she never minded it. However one chaotic demon seems to catch her eye; that demon being the Radio Demon himself. The only problem was that demon was her best friends rival. ~~~ Vivziepop owns all the characters and overall setting Plus any information I find will either be from the wiki or my own (which I will state if I do make it up) I merely own the plot

You Won't Get Away Twice (Alastor x FemReader) by sweet_bell24

I had to get out of town and start new. I packed my things and went to Louisiana; my family wouldn't find me there. I found a job that helped me lay low and made a few friends. But my friend just HAD to set me up on that date. Alastor, that was his name. He seemed nice and genuine, such a gentleman. Until the god damn man tried to stab me! Luckily, I got away. Once Alastor died, I would be able to live the rest of my life in peace. It's not like I would see him again... #1 in Valentino - 8/23/2024 (I feel kind of guilty for this one!) #1 in CharlieMorningstar - 9/7/2024 #1 in ReaderStories - 9/22/2024 #1 in HazbinHotel - 10/1/2024 (I'm so stinking proud of this one!

Hazbin Hotel (X Internet Overlord)(18+)📈📉😈 by EarlEnriquez5

"Hell Wide Web" everyone knows what it is but no one knows how it works, except for one. The one who controls and manipulates it, the one that Sinners, Hellborne and even Angels use and search on. And he's baaaack~ sinners rejoice- (Hellphone rings) "What?!...what do you mean you got BSD'd again?! ... Fucking Damnit VOX! That's the 5th time this month alone! Fine! Fine... Be right there..." Despite being one of Hell's Most Powerful Overlord, to the untrained eye. He's a glorified Tech Support, to those who know him... He's a walking Doomsday clock

Lucille | Hazbin Hotel by MissNixxy_

Growing up you took after your parents. You loved how they are the most feared and how they run everything. But you don't want to just "be" like them. You want to be better and you felt the one of the many ways to evolve is by music. Everybody listened to it and you were able to corrupt the corrupted system taking their souls instead of the other way around, and throwing those people into brothels. Now with your younger sister starting a hotel to rehabilitate demons, your parent sent you to make sure she doesn't get in trouble, but by doing so you met one of the most famous overlords that grew powerful overnight. Stay tuned~

Betrayal by xxxArixxxop

"As I was walking home, a Lamborghini pulls up to me unexpectedly. Twisters got out of the car like ants and walked up to me. "Why were you talking to Ava?" Jayden asks as he rubs his fingers through his sharp blade. I say nothing and shrugged. They look at me and their anger increased. "Answer me. Why were you talking to Ava?" He repeats. "Don't know. Don't care." I say carelessly. What was wrong with me? They could literally take me out in a heartbeat, and no one would ever know. Jayden balls up his fists and makes a punching gesture. "You won't answer me? Fine. You're dead meat now, brother." He says and smiles as he runs toward me. I didn't have time to think and just ran really fast to home. Please let this nightmare be over with! I didn't have time to run home and they eventually caught up to me. They cornered me and Jayden slashes his blade on my cheek. I screamed in pain. I was already dumb enough to try to talk back to Twisters and was now dumb-founded to be cornered by them. "Stop!..." I finally muttered. They laughed and Jayden held me up by my shirt. "Do you seriously think I'll just let you go that easily?" He says and chuckles." *INSPIRED BY THE OUTSIDERS* Shout out to my math teacher because she wanted to be included! EDIT: I'll probably make a second book, but I'm not sure... :/

Multiverse of Marvel by JordanAdderley

Synopsis -------------- "Let's leave my origins. We both have unspeakable origins. But the problem is I know of your origins. Galan of Taa." John said. Galactus' eyes squinted as John said his real name out loud. He never expected someone totally out of nowhere knew his actual name. "Never expected an unknown guy would know my origins. So what of it? I don't think it matters where I came from." Galactus replied. "It doesn't. You did what you had to do to survive. But the problem is you made a deal with the devil." John replied. Galactus looked at John with more stoic eyes now. He had done many things in the past and he made many bad decisions. He just wasn't sure what John was referring to so he was silent. John seeing that Galactus was silent and refused to speak said "Black Winter is coming!!" ------------- When a cinephile and an otaku/weeb travels through dimensions and gets a system which can only be described as overpowered but comes with restrictions. At first he was overjoyed with the system but soon realizes that he is in a very dangerous world where his life was at risk all the time. Disclaimer : I am not an economist so I might have done some mistakes in the economics section of the story. If you have suggestions to make it better you can leave in the comments. Warning - The MC won't be OP from the start itself and will grow to a powerful character in due time. The starting feels a bit weird because I am totally new to writing a novel and English is my second language. I don't have an editor so the conversations and descriptions might be little stiff. I am trying to improve. P.S. This story is based on Marvel multiverse P.S. 2 The picture is not owned by me Genre

Dan Barns: Problem Solver by mj_shadowrider

Book 1 of Dan Barnes Series. I am a single male with a degree in science and engineering. My name is Dan Barns, I was in the army for four years, worked in the private sector for five years with a six figure salary and was bored out of my mine. I grew a great nest egg, but I was not cut out to wear a suit and tie and then attend meetings everyday. I wanted so much more. I am six foot even, and I weigh around 186 on a bad day. My hair is brown with natural black streaks, and I have a nice tan. I love the great outdoors. I grew up as a single kid with a single parent who worked all the time. I aced science every time and fixed things for my mother and myself because of a lack of money. I never knew my dad, but once a year, my mother would get a check for my upkeep. My dad was a well traveled man and never stuck around after mom had me. Things were tough, but we made it. I got scholarships for my doctorate in both fields. I graduated as a doctor in six years. Problem that shaped me into the man I am today was, my mom died when I was 16 and I deicide to test out of school, joined the military, spent four years as special operative, and into college as an adult, I tested out of some of the easier classes. I kept the house because it was paid for and was in mine and my mother's name. I kept her truck, because it was also paid for and it helped when I need to remember her. I was twenty seven when I walked across the stage for my diploma and was sought after by some very big companies. I worked for one of these companies for five years and then I was bored. I retired at thirty one. I laid low, putting around my house, helping my neighbors, and helping out at the boys and girls club coaching basketball. For two years, I stayed in my own little piece of the gulf. I did not spend a lot of money, I fixed things, sold electric back to the electric company, and had fun with the teens. With the history now told, we can begin with some of my adventures.

The Captured (free version) by RothuaAK

It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]
