Beth rose anew with skin like flushed pink steel, and runes that enhanced her already fit form. She then requested the biggest gun Sean could imagine.

Mary boasted a second pair of arms when she rose anew, and magical musculature like Ama's battlesuit clinging to her skin. Her original arms opened as we watched, exposing vicious blades with spells written across their blacked-out chrome.

She rose from the enhancing work essentially merged with her tailored magi-tech battlesuit. The tech in it was animated with magic, answering to her every whim — more of a symbiote than any traditional armor. Magi-tech became her second skin.

Lucillia rose from the improvised operating table with elf ears and all but threw herself into the battlesuit offered to her. She immediately found a talent for combining tech and her new personal enchantments.

Sure enough, the process came to a close shortly after, and the Sean in the mirror rose anew, a perfect synthesis of magi-and-cyberpunk.

Aria was wheelchair-bound in the mirror. Her body was frail, her hair was pale blonde, and still, her dark blue eyes were intelligent and full of life. We watched her sit at the center of the creche, with the Sean in the mirror and the others around her; she was the pillar that held them all up.

Beth, in the mirror, looked adorable at first glance. She was fit and tiny, with black hair she wore in buns. She modified her clothes for ease of movement, lively and fierce. We watched her leap to the defense of the Sean in the mirror while he was distracted with his work, smashing aside bullying from other orphan creches; she never accepted any of the matrons' punishment.

The mirror shifted once more, revealing Mary. She was scarred by the same darkness she came to hold out faith against, a slash crossing her nose. It didn't detract from her hope for a brighter tomorrow, even if she had to grasp it by force. We watched her sneak out one night, the Sean in the mirror by her side; she wished to pray, and she wasn't about to let something as petty as curfew stop her.

The mirror showed Ama behind me, a small but confident smile on her face. Bags lined her eyes, the result of constantly looking out for the rest of us. Her hair was black, and her skin was pale. We watched her go out of her way to fetch the Sean in the mirror what he needed, without having to be asked.

original Dead End 2: Deathly Di-Di-Doo
4.64 Recently Updated
[The long-awaited revival of 'Gotham's Dead End Bar'.] Endlessly, Death marches on. She is kind and welcoming, good company to all in the End. Yet who keeps Death herself company? Who stands by her side while every other soul she meets passes on to their eternity? Who can she turn to when even her Deathly duties begin to weigh? A serial reincarnator, touched by Death again and again, seems a better candidate than any. After all, isn’t it only right for love and companionship to bloom between Death and Reincarnation? After eons of stories through 68 distinct lives, Sean Caine, that serial reincarnator, drifts into the lap of Death of the Endless at the Conception of his 69th Life. “Call me Didi,” she says, and the rest — an eventfully retiring Dead End to his reincarnating journey — is history. My profile will lead you to early chapters in the usual place (nearly 60k words ahead of the public releases!)9 Chs 2.2k Collections

Greater Wyrm (A Greater Dragon in Worm)
Recently Updated
A Dragon OC-insert with a 'bit' of history is dropped into Worm in the fourth iteration of his Age-Turning adventures. He sets out to face what few challengers this Age can offer him, from heroes to villains, Cauldron to Entities, and grow his preexisting Hoard. He starts from a position of power and importance, unknown to the world he now occupies. Thus, his quest begins with shock and awe and shifting paradigms. The whole of Earth Bet is his ultimate prize, to be stolen from invading alien Shards of ruin. The Age of Capes on Earth Bet will never again be the same. ["Ages Turn. A Dragon rides their tides, World to World and Age to Age. Hoard and Scale, called to an Age of ruin at alien hands, the Dragon does as his nature demands. He makes himself powerful. He makes himself important. He makes a claim to the Age of heroes, villains, and ever-present ruin... It will be his, for the Hoard must always grow."] Chapter updates for this story will come twice a week (Friday and Sunday). My profile will lead you to early chapters in the usual place. Right now, there are 17 chapters total (~130k words).46 Chs 1.5k Collections

Gotham's Dead End Bar
4.49
Step 1: Be a serial reincarnator. Step 2: End up in Gotham with Death of the Endless. Step 3: Open a neutral-ground bar for heroes and villains. Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit. Don't go into this story expecting something serious or (grim)dark. This isn't that kind of story and that's not what I'm trying to do here. This is a story about a bartender telling crazy stories about his time in the multiverse to the villains and heroes of DC. It's practically crack, about two steps removed from a fix-it fic. There is a plot (eventually, the beginning chapters are pretty slice-of-life heavy) but it's never going to be some grand tale of tragedy. In the same lane, don't expect the same Batman/Bat Family that you might be used to. No paranoiax10, dark, and gritty 'Batman can't be/have fun!' Batman. My Batman is more in line with the 'Batdad' concept or the animated series Batman. Also, this is kind of an AU. Not in any major way but some of the story might not match up perfectly with the DC canon continuity. I'm going for a static DC universe. So characters and their backstories are set but I'll be avoiding the major plot points of the comics (Dark Multiverse, Infinite Frontier, etc.) Pat reon.com/dryskies_btb for early chapters. 370k words are already available there.97 Chs 23.7k Collections

KYBER-PUNK 22BBY [Inspired Inventor+]
4.8
Night City, Nar Shaddaa. How the fuck did I find myself here? In two universes that shouldn’t exist and most certainly shouldn’t be merged? In a wretched hive of scum and villainy wherever I turned, where even the wider galaxy wasn't much better? Did it matter? When in Night City, do as the chromers, corpos, and cyber-junkies do. And when on Nar Shaddaa, do as the rest. A new name, a new reality, a new criminal empire to build, and I wouldn’t let this fucking galaxy stand in my way for anything. “As significant as an Atom”… I’d make my newly chosen name ring fucking ironic. Chapter updates for this story will happen twice a week (Friday and Sunday). Support me! @pat reon.com/dryskies_btb. New chapters always go up early there (about a month ahead). I have 50k words of this story up there at the moment. Patreons also get bonus images and the opportunity to vote on what story I focus on for the month.67 Chs 4.8k Collections

Ser Ciaphas of House Cain [40K/ASOIAF CROSSOVER]
Cast into the unknown by desperation and a twist of fate, the legendary Ciaphas Cain, inquisitorial Amberly Vail, and ever usefully faithful Ferik Jurgen find themselves upon a world lost to the Imperium during the long night of the Age of Strife. The lost world’s feudalism is no surprise. Dragons, however, instead of the expected Imperial Knights…? For an Inquisitor and a Legend, rescue is sure to come… eventually. Until then, Ciaphas Cain resolves himself to enjoy the vacation he never thought he’d get. Little, if anything, in the way of Xenos and Chaos, and only Heresy of Ignorance, not Malice, makes for relief in a self-professed craven commissar. But there is still work to be done during their time away from the Imperium at large. “Perhaps bringing a lost world back into the Imperium’s fold will allow me to finally retire… Un-karking-likely, knowing my luck.” As always, early chapters for this story are available on my Pat reon (pat reon.com/dryskies_btb).8 Chs 368 Collections

A Gacha-Grimoire System's Fae Gamble
4.9
[Worm - Celestial Grimoire/Gacha System, OC MC, OP from the start, RNGesus be kind] A Gacha System - played out, on its last legs, and without a host - merges with something fresh and new. The Celestial Grimoire, the key to all magic across all worlds. Still weak and dying, they cast the dice one last time, landing upon an... unusual host. Edgar dé Brân, Raven Prince of the Fae's Winter Court, yearned for adventure and excitement beyond what his kind could offer. As it turns out, luck was ever in his favor. Stepping out from his sheltered world, he lands upon a doomed world of heroes and villains. Instantly, well-laid plans are soundly defenestrated and Earth Bet will never be the same. [AN: Even if you don't know Worm, I'd encourage you to give this story a shot. I'm trying my best to keep it relatively beginner-friendly. Yes, the cover pic is relevant to the story. It's my cultured take on Dragon ;] [Beyond that, early chapters (40k words) are available on my Patreon (patreon.com/dryskies_btb). Also, Patreons get access to additional characters and bonus pics from my personal collection, plus all of my past stories. Some quality content there, in my oh-so-humble, biased opinion, especially if you like goth girls. Anyway, enjoy the story :]15 Chs 2.2k Collections

Goth Girls Galore!
Goth Expy Harem in an RSM World Goth Girls: the pinnacle of Culture. The fantasy of asocial loners everywhere. Adam Prince was no exception. Except for the fact his preferences were quite a bit stronger than most… And that he lived in a world where the ratio of women to men was ~5:1… But that just meant more Goth GFs for Adam! Especially after he had a primordial force that drives him to conquer, claim, and covet shoved into his soul. After being depressed and broken for most of his life, why wouldn’t he want to embrace the power and control his Shadow offered him~?

Never Give a Yandere a Bolter

Yandere's are already scary hot. Give them a gun that shoots .75 caliber explosive bolts and maybe you can see how things quickly got out of hand for Octus Humblestock. Make that yandere a Sister of Battle with an obsession for him as strong as her devotion to the Emperor? Why not. That's how you get someone like Sabine Hallow. What's that? Oh... she's not the only yandere after Octus? Is there something about this himbo that attracts yanderes? It should have been me, not him! *insert Yu-Gi-Oh meme* It's not fair!

Essence of it All (DxD Essence Meta CYOA)
3.17
Kidnapped and given superpowers by being beyond his comprehension, Taylor must learn to survive in the deceptively dangerous world he now finds himself in. With the help of his new 'essence' powers and the fresh start given to him, Taylor must find ways to entertain his ROB patrons. The greater multiverse is watching, and... what was that? They want to see him fuck?!? Definitely 18+ (This story is "Plot" with plot. I will never claim it is anything other than a smutfic.) Also, this story contains mind control. In my opinion, it's rather light on the mind control scale, but not everyone is as degenerate as me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Warning: This isn't an Issei-bashing fic. He's not the main character, but I'm not going to kill him or whatever else authors with a hate boner for the pervert do to him. He's basically just a side character in this story.47 Chs 6.1k Collections
Aria rose completely anew, even beyond the others' standards. Her new body was animated chrome, shining with magical blue light and life. The first thing she did was give out hugs under her own power, denied the ability for so long.
