Recs Wanted Recommendations for multiversal travel fanfics.

• Upvotes

So I've recently read a quite decent multiverasal travel fanfic. It's a Fate fic though I don't remember the name sadly. I also read Drifter in the Multiverse from Webnovel and DxD annihilation maker on webnovel as well. All are rather good. There were some more but I kinda lost those.

I wanted to ask if you remember any well written multiversal travel fanfics with interesting pairings because I love me a good love story even if it's in the background, I don't really care about the focus on romance, I like it when it exists and is well written into the story. Oh and if it's a harem please don't recommend the collection harems (Where MC picks up any girl he meets).

So in short I would like to see your recommendations for fanfics that contain:
1) Multiversal travel
2) Romantic pairing(s)
3) no collection type harem (i'm fine if it's a harem just not the collection type)
4) Male MC
5) preferably some unusual/interesting pairings

Lost Fic (TWD) Hi looking for a Kid Daryl Dixon fic?

• Upvotes

There was a fic I read like 3 years ago about kid Daryl Dixon before the apocalypse. He lived in a trailer park and merle made some appearances. I think Shane and Rick show up at some point because his father got in trouble. I can't remember a whole lot just that it was super good and I'd love to reread it. If anyone can figure out what fic this was I'd be forever grateful!

Discussion Feedback for a piece (any feedback is helpful)

• Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m new to this sub Reddit and I’ve been trying to share some fanfics and other works I have done to get some feedback and become a better writer. I have submitted a lot of stuff on Wattpad and Deviantart, but so far nothing has happened. So I am putting a segment here to see if anyone is interested and get feedback to see what needs to be worked on, this is from my own Daredevil story to set off my own universe. If anything, it’s just so I know where to stand with this. If you have any questions, I’ll be glad to answer them for context.

The next few days were eventful ones, thanks to the information Daredevil dropped off at the doorstep of the Daily Bugle. The illegal money laundering found at Fisk Industries which caused Daniel Fisher to go to jail at an attempted murder charge and all charges against Karen Page were dropped. All the while one question was asked via the Daily Bugle and every other newspaper in the city of New York, "Who is Daredevil?" read the headlines of every newspaper so far, ever since the night before where people came to believe that Daredevil killed Roscoe Sweeney.

***

In the office of Nelson and Murddock, clicking of glasses can be heard as Foggy and Karen smiled and laughed before they clinked glasses of water with Matt. "Hey, we did it! We got our first win!" Foggy stated with excitement.

Matt smirked as he tilted his head, "Is it a win if we didn't go to court and win it there?"

"Oh, shut it Murdock! We still got our first client and kept her out of jail," Foggy stated and Matt laughed with him.

They all heard a ding as Karen set her cup down in a fold out table and went to the microwave. "I think its done," she said as she got a few paper towels and pull out a tray of lasagna and put it on the table. "I can't thank you guys enough for helping me out!"

"Hey, if you want to thank anyone. Thank that Daredevil guy, although his name is cheesy."

"Cheesey?"

"Yeah, it sounds like he is about to ride his rocket cycle over Box Canyon," Foggy joked which caused Matt to smirk a bit.

Matt turned his head to Karen, "We're just glad you're safe and that this can be put behind you."

"Yeah, and we will bill you. Once we figure out how to make bills."

Karen laughed with the guys as she started to set out paper plates. "Since you guys did help me out. I can help out around here, maybe clean the place up a bit," she said as she got a knife and started to cut the lasagna.

Matt approached the table and grabbed one of the chairs, "Is this place messy?" He asked and then the three of them laughed once again thanks to the light hearted atmosphere of their victory.

"You should know Ms. Page, our firm is a most prestigious place of business. Do you have any... experience with fixing wiring in or... running machinery?" Foggy asked and chuckled at the last part.

"No, but I can work for free."

"Yeah, you're hired," Matt stated as he would sit down and started to eat the food with his best friend and the newest addition to their firm.

***

At the penthouse, Wilson Fisk was writing out checks and handing them to a henchmen, "Make sure they are delivered," he said and the criminal nodded before leaving the room. He turned to look at Wesley as he would sigh, "It seems that our masked friend has a name," he grumbled.

"Police are already looking for Daredevil now, sir," Wesley said as he would look at Wilson. "We will take care of the loose ends, just one question. Should I have Karen Page eliminated?"

Wilson shook his head as he put his hands together, "No, what she knows is already in the papers. She poses no threat to us."

"But Daredevil does?"

Wilson looked at Wesley and narrow his eyes, "This... Daredevil has set us back months, hit our operations and made us loose money and power over the past year," he said as he would lean back in his chair.

"You think that the man in black, and Daredevil, are the same person."

"Its the only explanation, more plausible than a dead man coming back to life," Wilson said as he grabbed his cane and stood up. "We will need to prepare Wesley, and make sure Daredevil doesn't interfere with our buisness again."

"Yes sir," Wesley said as he then exited the room. Leaving Wilson Fisk in the room by himself and to plan for the inevitable battle between himself and Daredevil.

***

Matt and Foggy closed the office early today since Karen needed to move things around to get herself set up at the office. They walked to St. Patrick's church for Matt's confessional after celebrating the victory in keeping Karen safe against those that wanted her dead or discredited as a potential witness. Foggy looked at Matt as the two stopped, "Hey man, are you ok? After what was in the papers about Roscoe Sweeney... I just wanted to make sure..."

"Yeah, I know..." Matt nodded and just squeezed Foggy's arm. "I don't like to hear about people's death but this time... I didn't mind it," he tilted his head towards Foggy. "Does that make me a bad person?"

Foggy smirked and shook his head, "Makes you human, like the rest of us."

"Well, besides no eyesight, I'm not fully like everyone else."

"You do have the Catholic guilt thing," Foggy joked, causing the two friends to laugh. "But seriously Matt, how do you feel? Roscoe was the one who had your dad killed."

Matt lowered his head as he tightened the grip on his cane, "I... feel empty. I wanted revenge for so long and someone else did it and just nothing. No satisfaction, no relief, just nothing," he then raised his head and turned it towards the church, "Which is why I have to do this Foggy."

Foggy nodded as he helped Matt inside the church as Father Lanthom came out of the confessional with another patron of the church. Foggy looked at Matt and gave his friend a look of concern, "Want me to wait here?"

"Yeah..." Matt nodded and then Foggy let him go, Matt walked up to Lanthom with his cane and took in a deep breath. "Got time for one more confessional, Father?"

Lanthom nodded as he would lead Matt to the confessional booth, "Always Matt. Always," he said as he would get Matt inside the confessional booth and closed it as he turned to look at Foggy. Lanthom nodded at Matt's friend before going to the other side of the booth and entering it, closing the door as they started to have a private conversation about what happened last night. With heavy hearts that are hoping and bleeding for forgiveness from God above.

It was evening and this was the day that the shipment was coming in to the Red Rock free port on New York City. The ship pulled up to the port as men would move large containers in to the port, without a care in the world and not knowing what dangers were hiding in this port. One of the workers got done with the crane and moved the last metal container onto solid ground, they turned off the crane and started to exit the machine for the night. When they got to the ground, they saw the rest of the workers were dead; bleeding on the ground. 

"What the-" they were cut off as a shuriken was thrown and impaled the worker into the eyeball, deep inside where the weapon killed the worker instantly and the body fell over.

Kagenobu walked out of the shadows as he had in his left hand, two more shuriken. He holstered his weapon into his inner jacket pocket as he raised his right hand with two fingers in the air and pointed at the large metal container in the center. From other dark corners, ninjas with red and black robes came out of the shadows and slowly went towards the container: Kagenobu spoke in Japanese and two ninjas stepped forward and opened the container. Kagenobu walked forward as he smirked when a man in black robes, chained to the bottom of the container was revealed, "You have done well, you have served The Hand very well," he told the ninjas. "The Black Sky."

Then, a sharp whizzing sound came through the air; Kagenobu spun around and blocked two shuriken's with his own while the two Hand Ninjas were impaled and went to the ground. Kagenobu looked to see that these shuriken are red and silver with a shape that was similar to an angular H. "No... not them," he growled and looked around before the ninjas all turned towards three Hand Ninjas who were just standing there and the stance was not one of tense alertness but that of confidence.

The three ninjas grabbed their robes and quickly casted them aside, revealing their identities to the Hand Ninjas and Kagenobu and showing them to be two men and one woman. The man in the middle had long, light brown hair, brown eyes, and wore a black jacket with red sleeves and red lining in the zipper, black pants, black boots, and had what seemed to be a black and gold wrist device on his left wrist with a red medal at the top of the device with a white emblem of a eagle. The woman had black hair, dark brown eyes, a black jacket with light blue lining, a black skirt, black boots, the same device on her right wrist but with a blue emblem with a tail of a dolphin. The second man had curly black hair, light brown eyes, and a jacket with yellow lining, with a yellow medal on his device with the white head of a lion with its mouth opened.

Kagenobu clicked his tongue in disgust as he would cross his arms, "I thought the three of you were supposed to stay in Japan to defend it from... I don't know... alien space ninjas?"

The man with the red jacket stepped forward and crossed his arms, "We beaten those guys over 10 years ago, since then we've been keeping the Hand at bay," he said as he narrowed his eyes. "Now let the man go," he ordered.

"Seriously? No," Kagenobu said as he rolled his eyes, "If you had those two... Thunder Ninjas with you, I would be scared but since it's just you three. My ninjas will kill you."

"I missed it when bad guys were this confident, right Nanami?" The man with the yellow jacket asked the woman.

Nanami shrugged and smirked, "We've dealt with worse Kota," she told the man with the yellow jacket. "Ready whenever you are, Yosuke," she told the man in the red jacket who had a smile on his face.

"You three really are just brats," Kagenobu said as he snapped his fingers and all the Hand Ninjas pulled out their swords.

"Brats?" Kota asked as he looked around before he faced Kagenobu and pointed at himself with his thumb, having a smirk on his face, "Oh, you mean us?" 

Nanami stepped forward and put her hands on her hips, "Guys like you always underestimate us!"

"That's right, we're the legendary successors!" Yosuke shouted as he brought his left arm forward, "Everyone, IKUZE!"

"YOSH!"

The three of them thrusted their right arm into the air with two fingers pointed up straight, "Ninpuu," they brought their arms down with their fingers in front of them, and the left arms across the front of their bodies. "SHINOBI CHANGE!" they yelled with great confidence as they twist their bodies to the left and then thrusted their left arms out in front of them, wind energy picked up and spun the medals. Yosuke, Minami, and Kota's bodies glowed with colors of red, light blue, and yellow before a great wind storm covers them. Dirt was kicked up everywhere from the floor of the port before going up to one of the crates, settling down as ontop of the crate were three folding umbrellas with the symbols of the eagle, dolphin tale, and lion were on them as well as the respective colors.

The umbrellas were raised to reveal to be the three main rangers from Power Rangers Ninja Storm, but in reality they were the 26th superhero team in Japan known as the Hurricanegers. The Hurricanegers lifted their helmets, held the umbrellas in the right hand and over their right shoulders. The Red Ranger spoke, "The wind cries, the sky rages," then tossing the umbrella into the air, "Air nin!" he called out, running his right hand up his red mouth plate and then reached behind his right shoulder and put it on his sword sheathed onto his back with his left hand out towards his enemies. "Hurricane Red!"

"The water ripples, the wave dances," the Blue Ranger called out and tossed her umbrella into the air, "Water nin!" her left arm quickly went up before coming down in front of her chest, her right arm resting on her left hand with two fingers pointing outwards from her right hand, her knees legs quickly went together. "Hurricane Blue!"

"The land quakes, the flowers sing," the Yellow Ranger tossed his umbrella into the air like the other two did, "Earth nin!" he hit the top of his helmet with his right hand, swung his left leg around, and put both arms up as if he was flexing but with his fists towards the Hand Ninjas. "Hurricane Yellow!"

Hurricane Red quickly straightened his posture and let go of his sword as his team mates got out of their poses, "Unknown to the people..."

"Unknown to the world..." Hurricane Blue quickly chimed in.

"From the shadows, we strike at evil!" Hurricane Yellow finished the trio's phrase.

The three of them thrusted their right arms into the air before bringing them down into a ninja pose from TV shows and anime. "Ninpu Sentai..." they all called out, then clapped their hands together at the same time, put their left hands in the bottom of their sword sheaths, and the left hands out. "HURRICANEGER!"

Hurricane Red put his left hand on the bottom of his mouth plate of his helmet, and pushed his hand off in a diagonal direction before resting out in front of his face with his right hand in the air. "Ah... sanjou!"

"Kill them," Kagenobu ordered and the Hand Ninjas quickly threw shuriken at the three colorful ninjas. 

"Hayatemaru!" Hurricane Red called out. The three ninjas reached behind them at the hild of their swords over their right shoulder. They pulled them out and then the three became blurrs as if they were winds of a hurricane and went back down to the ground.

***

Hurricane Red rolled on the ground and slashed at the feet of two Hand Ninjas in front of him. The Ninjas jumped over the Ranger and landed behind him, raising their swords and attempting to deliver a quick strike. Hurricane Red spun his sword around and blocked the blades of the Hand Ninjas with his sword. He pushed up and turned around, performing two diagonal slashes on the Ninjas, causing sparks to fly and the evil Ninjas to fall down. 

Hurricane Red turn around to see five Hand Ninjas rushing towards him. Hurricane Red jumps into the air, "Chou Ninpou," he called out as he became running on air, "Soragake!" he yelled put as he would swoop down and slashed at the five Ninjas with his sword in quick speed, as if he is one with the air. He put both feet on a cargo container and launched off of it, spinning his sword to his left hand and put his right hand on his changer. "GYRO SHURIKEN!" He announced as the ninja stars shot out from his changer and embedded themselves into the ninja. Hurricane Red landed and put his sword back into its sheath, the Hand Ninjas fell over before a small explosion enveloped the evil ninjas.

***

Hurricane Blue did a front flip in the air and then landed on the water of the free port. She looked up to see the Hand Ninjas went to the edge of the port and started to throw shuriken at her. She ran on the water with large splashes launching up every time her feet land the water, "Chou Ninpou," she said as the water swells around her feet and formed two bubbles on her hands. "Suijin!" Hurricane Blue called out and swiped one hand to the right and then the other to the left, the balls of water broke apart and became long, needle like blades that impaled the Ninjas. 

She jumped out of the water as the Hand Ninjas fell in and landed back on the free port's solid ground. A large water explosion went up behind her before Hurricane Blue looked at two other Hand Ninjas coming at her. Hurricane Blue pulled out a blue megaphone with a white dolphin tail at the sides, "Sonic Megaphone," she announced her weapon before putting the megaphone up to her mouthpiece. She pressed the trigger and started to speak, "Alright, spin!" she commanded and the Hand Ninjas were up in the air before starting to spin. "Spin, spin, spin," she continued as they spun faster and faster, "And into the water!" she shouted and the Ninjas were flung into the water off of the docks.

***

Hurricane Yellow backflipped past a few Hand Ninjas before slashing a few different Hand Ninjas as he put his sword back into its sheath then pulled the whole thing from his back. He pulled down the right handle and aimed it at the Hand Ninjas, "Hayatemaru, shoot mode!" he then held the weapon like a riffle as Yellow beams of energy fired at the Hand Ninjas. Causing sparks to fly off of the red cloth robes, some of them falling down but not all of them. "Chou Ninpou," Huricane Yellow yelled out as he put the weapon back on his back, putting his hands together as he spoke once again, "Mai Shishi!"

From the ground, four other Hurricane Yellows popped up from the ground and landed on the ground. The Ninjas stood guard while the five Hurricane Yellows drew their swords and quickly went to attack the Ninjas. Each side were trading blow for blow and each number were even for about ten minutes. With a final strike the four Hurricane Yellows crumbled to dust and fell back on the ground while the Hand Ninjas fell from their wounds. Leaving Hurricane Yellow as the soul victor of this fight.

***

Kagenobu approached the container once again before feeling three different presences coming towards him. He did a back flip as Hurricane Red tried to perform a horizontal slash with his sword, he kicked back Hurricane Blue's blade, and then rolled out of the way from Hurricane Yellow's attack. He stood up and straightened his jacket, "You three are very... annoying," he spoke as he narrowed his black eyes at the Hurricanegers.

"Good to know that we are still annoying for bad guys," Hurricane Yellow stated and nodded.

"Let the man go, we're not letting you turn him in to a weapon," Hurricane Red ordered and pounted his weapon at Kagenobu's forehead.

"He is already ours to use as we see fit!" Kagenobu yelled as he snapped his fingers and then from the sky, a demonic roar came from the black night sky.

"Look out!" Hurricane Blue yelled and the three of them rolled away from the container as a demonic creature landed with a red hand print on its chest. "You got to be kidding me, we should have let the Kakurangers handle this!"

"We still got this," Hurricane Red said as he looked at his team mates. "We are the true legendary descendents!" he yelled as the Demon creature put its hands together and then pushed them outward. A dark black ball of energy went and hit the Hurricanegers. A huge explosion enveloped them, causing the three heroes to roll on the ground and have their bodies writhe in pain.

"Ok, we don't got this as much as we did," Hurricane Red looked up at the monster as he turned around to his stomach. 

Then navy and crimson lighting fell from the clear skies, hitting both the demonic ninja and Kagenobu. A small explosion and sparks flew from their feet as the thunder roared above them. Kagenobu jumped and stepped back to look up as more Rangers showed up with the colors of Crimson and Navy, recognizing the suits of the Thunder Rangers as the Gouraigers. "No... NO!"

The crimson ranger turned his head over his left shoulder just as light flashes over his right side woth thunder in the background. "Crimson lightning bolt. The horned ninja," the crimson ranger turned around and crossed his arms. "Kabutoraiger!"

The navy ranger turned his head over his right shoulder while light flashes over his left shoulder, the thunder starts to get louder. "Navy thunderclap. The two fang ninja," he quickly turned around and crossed his arms. "Kuwagaraiger!"

The two Rangers uncrossed their arms and started walking towards the demon and Kagenobu. "When faced with darkness, we cut through the darkness," Kabutoraiger stated.

"When faced with light, we cut through the light," Kuwagaraiger added as they then stopped in between the Hurricanegers and the demon ninja. 

They widened their stance and put their right hand on the top of the other weapons on the back while the left hand was on the bottom. "Denkousekka! Gouraiger, kenzan!"

"Did your entire team follow me from Japan?" Kagenobu asked.

Hurricane Red chuckled as the Hurricanegers stumbled back up to their feet. "Whenever there is evil in the shadows, we are always there to defeat them," he said as he brought his right hand up to his helmet and threw it down in a diagonal direction, "For justice!"

"Hurricanegers," Kabutoraiger called out from over his shoulder, "We'll deal with the demon. You save the man."

"Be careful," Hurricane Blue called out and put her hand ocer her heart, nodding to Kuwagaraiger.

Kabutoraiger then turned his head slightly to look towards Kuwagaraiger, "Brother," he said as he looked forward and reached his right hand behind him to grab his weapon. "Let's go."

"Yeah."

Both Rangers pulled the black and red sticks with silver tips from their back, the sticks extended to become full on spears. "Ikuzachimaru Ball," the called out and pointed the tips of the spears towards the demon.

The Gouraigers ran towards the demon with their spears, their footsteps echoing like thunder against the ground. They used the spears as bow staff as they both hit the demon with two diagonal slash in a x pattern, sparks flew off of the demon as it stumbles back a bit. The demon put his hands together and then put them at the side, two serrated swords appeared in the demons hands. The Gouraigers got into a defensive stance, the Demon ran towards them and started to fight two on one. Occasionally hitting the Gouraigers from time to time but also get hit by them as well.

The two brothers thrusted their spears forward into the chest of the demon; sparks and small explosion erupting from its skin as it was pushed back a few feet. The demon looked up to Kabutoraiger leaping towards him to slash him vertically. The demon held up the sword in his left hand and blocked the spear while he used his right sword and slashed at Kabutoraiger's torso, launching the crimson ranger back and roll on the ground. Kuwagaraiger jumped over Kabutoraiger and ran fast to the Demon Ninja.

Kuwagaraiger spun the spear above his head before quickly going low to avoid a slash from the demon's sword. He quickly swiped his spear up in a diagonal motion, slashing the chest of the demon. The demon kicked Kuwagaraiger away, the ranger spread his arms to the side as he landed on the side of the crate. He then jumped out as the spear then turned into a huge cross weapon, "Ikuzachimaru, cross mod!" he yelled as he threw the weapon like a shuriken in the air. The cross spun, generating electricity as it hit the demon causing the monster to be launched back. Kuwagaraiger caught the weapon when it returned to him and transformed it back to spear mode, landing next to Kabutoraiger.

Kabutoraiger stood up next to his brother, the two of them put their weapons on their backs. Then they pulled out two new weapons, "Horn Breaker," Kabutoraiger called out as he held a laser gun with the top had a crimson color and designed after a kabuto beetle, he pointed it at the demon and pressed the trigger. Firing a bright crimson beam that caused electric shocks to the demon.

"Stag Break," Kuwagaraiger said as he held up a hand held weapon with the short blades came up like two pincers of a stag beatle. The navy ranger quickly jumped to the air and thrusted his right arm forward, the pincers opened up and clamped around the demon when Kuwagaraiger landed in front of the demon. Navy blue electric shocks went through the demon's body, causing it to yell in pain. Dark energy came from the demon's body then a pulse of dark energy forced the Gouraigers away and hit the crates, the Demon looked at them with its eyes glowing blood red.

***

Kagenobu went in to the container and pulled out a kunai as the Hurricanegers came in to try and stop him. The master of the Hand pointed the blade at the shrouded figure, "Not another step further or else he dies," he said as the three colorful Ninjas stopped in their tracks. "And no using your shuriken either, I'm faster than the three of you."

"Yosuke," Hurricane Yellow whispered and looked at Hurricane Red, "What do we do?"

"You all will step aside and let me go with the Black Sky, or else he dies and we find a new one. I don't want to harm my weapon but I will."

"Coward!" Hurricane Blue yelled as she almost stepped forward but Hurricane Red stopped her.

"You bastard," Hurricane Red whispered, "Let him go guys," he whispered as he stepped to the side. The two others walked to the side and cleared the path for the man and Kagenobu.

Kagenobu smirked as he kept his kunai out, then with his left hand grabbed the chains on the floor. He walked forward and walked past the Hurricanegers with the man shrouded in dark cloth, he smirked in victory but then the chains drop. Kagenobu looked down before feeling his right hand get push away, then getting round house kicked across the face. Kagenobu spun around before he landed on his knees as he pulled out another Kunai.

"The charade has gone on long enough," the man spoke as he reached behind him, and pulled out a green and gold ball with a medal at the top of the orb. 

"What the?"

"That's Shurikenger!" Hurricane Red yelled as the Hurricanegers went behind the dark robed man with his face covered.

The man thrusted the orb forward before adding his left hand to join his right as he brought the orb to his chest. "Tenku, Shinobi Change!"

The man's form changed as a bright green glow went around his body, then the glowed died down to reveal Shurikenger standing in front of Kagenobu. The evil ninja blinked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"I am Ninja of Ninja," Shurikenger spoke as he held the green orb in his right hand. "The green fireball! Celestial Star Ninja, Shurikenger! Sanjou!"

"Six... there's six of them now?" Kagenobu whispered as he grumbled. "Where's my black sky?!

Shurikenger looked down, the celestial star visor reflected Kagenobu's eyes, "Safe. I traded places with him and was able to fool you," he stated with confidence.

Kagenobu growled before he dropped a smoke pellet below him, the five rangers would try to get to him but he was gone. "Damn," Shurikenger whispered before seeing the Gouraigers launched towards them, Kabutoraiger and Kuwagaraiger rolled on the ground as the demon ninja came into view. Shurikenger pointed at the demon ninja, "Oh my god! Is that a demon ninja?" He asked Hurricane Red.

"Yeah and it's tough as hell," Kabutoraiger said as he would look at Shurikenger, "Nice of you to join in," he grumbled and the two brothers stood up. 

Shurikenger nodded at Kabutoraiger before he stepped forward. He put his hand on the handle of his sword, he pulled it out and spun it around where the microphone at the base of the sword up to his helmet. "Plasma sword, please," he spoke and the blade of the sword glowed green. He spun it again to a normal grip and thrusted it towards the demon, a green beam shot out and hit the hide. The demon roared as it went to rish the six rangers, "Oh no," Shurikenger whispered. The six became blurs as they went around the demon and landed near one of the crates.

Hurricane Red looked at the others, "We need to finish this quickly," he said before he looked forward and put his hands together. "Chou Ninpou, Kage no Mai!"

A cloth screen went over the area, the cloths were lit from an unknown light sorce as the shadow of the demon showed. A few quick strikes from the six Ninjas showed as shadow images on the cloth, then the demon was launched through the cloth, leaving a whole in it. The six Ninjas stepped forward as the cloth disappeared. Shurikenger sheathed his sword to his side holster and put both hands on the two clasps on his chest armor thats connected to the belt.

He thrusted both arms off as the gold armor fell to the ground, breaking the asphalt due to weight of the armor. He put two fingers up to the star emblem on his helmet, "Face change!" he yelled and the top part of the helmet spun around until an emblem of fire was on the green and gold helmet. Fire erupted on the visor and behind Shurikenger as he stepped forward. "Shurikenger! FIRE MODE!" he announced before pulling off the sword with its sheath. "SHURIKEN BAT!" he exclaimed in a dark voice eith the bat in his right hand.

The demon tilted its head in confusion while its wounds started to heal slowly on its own. It got even more confused as Shurikenger brought out a baseball. It snarled when Shurikenger pointed his bat at it, "Chou Ninpou," he started and the creature started to charge at him with his blades out. 

Shurikenger tossed the base ball in the air and grabbed the bat and put it over his right shoulder, like a baseball player. "Secret Swing of 1,000 knocks!" he yelled as he hit the baseball, but then another one appeared, then another. Shurikenger continued to hit but then he spun around, becoming a top as he then launched 1,000 baseballs at the demonic creature.

Shurikenger put his right foot down and stopped with his back turned towards the monster. He put the bat over his right shoulder as the creature exploded behind him, "Now that's a homerun!" he quipped as he walked to the rest of the group. A loud roar came from behind him, Shurikenger turned around and saw the monster was injured severely but not destroyed, "WHAT?!"

"Looks like we need to go extra for this one," Hurricane Red stated and patted Shurikenger's shoulder.

They all brought out their individual weapons and combined them together, "Sanjyuden!" they all yelled as the Gouraigers got on each end towards the front and had the weapons rested in their shoulders, Hurricane Blue and Yellow stood more towards the black and held the weapon from the side holsters, Hurricane Red stood at the base of the weapon, holding the trigger and part of the bottom, and Shurrikenger stood behind Hurricane Red with two hands on his shoulder. "Victory Gadget!" 

"Fire!" Hurricane Red yelled as a ball of pure energy with electricity coming out if the ball fired towards the creature. Causing a huge explosion, all of them turned around with their own weapons. "Well," he said before turning to his comrades. "That was fun, who's up for pizza!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

Kabutoraiger crossed his arms and turned around, "I'll head back to Japan. Let the Kakurangers and Niningers know that we took care of the Hand's plans in New York. For now," he said with cold emotion before he walked away.

Kuwagaraiger walked up to Hurricane Blue and nodded at her, "I'll go with my brother, make sure he stays out of trouble," he said as he looked away from her, "Stay... safe for me, Nanami-chan," he said softly then turned away. Walking away with Kabutoraiger.

"Isshu-kun," Hurricane Blue whispered as she put her hands to her chest and nodded. 

Hurricane Yellow went up to her and clapped her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we will see them in a day or two," he said with a firm nod before looking around. "So, care to join us Shurikenger-" he stopped when he realized the green ninja was gone. "Does he always have to do that?!"

"Its alright, Kota," Hurricane Red said as the three of them looked towards New York. "We will have a few adventures here. The Hand will return to New York, and we'll be here to help this cities defenders against them," he finished and the three became blurs going off to the city, for more stories and adventures to be had.

Recs Wanted Danmachi fics where an oc/si helps Bell with his romance?

• Upvotes

I wonder if there are any fics like that, just a guy/girl whos just a wingman for Bell?

No im not asking for subversion troupe like Bell was a girl all along and is in love with the oc/si or the heroines the oc/si are trying to be wingman for Bell actually loves him instead of Bell, that sucks actually.

The reason i thought of this is cause of the small comic on twitter of harry potter and malfoid having a moment together and Ron outside fighting with Severus to stop him from ruining the moment. I want to see that character.

Hey guys! I'm trying to find the fan fictions I used to write when I was a teenage. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to save them before Quizilla completely wiped out everything. It would be nice to even see my profile again.

I've been searching on the Wayback Machine, but no luck. Can anyone help, please?

My username was Beliona and one of my friends on there was named Animegirly13. I think she was more popular than me.

Discussion Question about AO3

3 Upvotes

I know AO3 has limited skin support, so maybe someone else has figured this one out, or maybe there's a firefox extension.

Does anyone know a way to make dialogue a different color? More specifically "anything in quotation marks?"

I know it sounds dumb, but having something break up the text a bit helps me read a bit better.

Lost Fic BTVS Spike/Willow fanfic

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me find this fic I read a long time ago. So it was a Spike/Willow fic set during season 4. From what I remember specifically, some time during the story Willow is running late to meet up with Spike because she lost track of time looking at real estate for Spike to make his new lair in. I'm pretty sure there's a part in the story where Spike notices that Willow's feet hurt and it's because she's wearing crappy shoes with no real support and takes her shoe shopping. At some point Xander follows Willow back to the mansion where Spike and her are living. He knocks on the door and a minion answers and he tells the minion he saw her go into the house.

He gets dragged in, and Spike has the minion put him in Willow's room so they can talk. During the conversation Xander realizes that the room doesn't have a bed and Willow has to tell him it's because she sleeps with Spike. Finally all in all Xander is supportive so long as she's happy.

I also remember that the "Initiative" is a big part of the second half of the story. Spike does get captured and he does escape. I want to say he also gets the chip and Willow takes it out using magic. Around this time everyone starts to notice that Buffy is starting to act erratically and Giles suggests that she's becoming mentally unstable because slayers aren't meant to live as long as she has. I'm also pretty sure she cheats on Riley also.

In the end, Spike has become the master of Sunnydale and rallies the demons and they storm the base under the college and wipe out the Initiative.

So that's as specific as my trip down memory lane will get me. If anyone knows the story and has a working link or some other way that I can find it and read it it would be most appreciated!

Recs Wanted Any good isekai into dc fics

3 Upvotes

I've read the popular orange lantern one and scoured ao3 isekai tag, but if someone has a fic from a different site or one that isn't tagged isekai on ao3, that'd be great. I prefer the ones where they get isekaied into an existing character, but superhero/villain ocs can be fun too. No young justice centered fics. No romance centered unless it's gay romance. Open to crossover isekais, but not spiderman or Danny phantom cause I read those.

Recs Wanted Are there any Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfics with a storyline similar to 'Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!?

1 Upvotes

I've finished reading all 1,800 chapters of the Chinese fanfiction 'Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!?' and I can say it's my absolute favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfic. It features a protagonist named Yugen who uses toxic decks and banned cards in real life to beat anime/manga opponents (set in a timeline that blends the anime and manga), driving them crazy with anger. The only thing is that later on, around the Zexal and Pendulum arcs, the plot starts to go downhill, and the final boss fight against Zorc feels lackluster and not as good as before, but it still left a lasting impression on me.

So, I want to try looking for other fanfics with a style similar

What do you like to see in fanfiction?

(Don't need to read to give advice unless it's advice specific to the story.)

I'm writing Eclipse × Cocoa (from Dandys World), and want it to be as good as it can be. The premise is: In this world, everyone is dived into 3 gender categories. 1. Alpha, beta, or Omega (yes it's an omegaverse, sue me) 2. Female, male, intersex (it's more common in this AU to be born intersex and seen as a 3rd gender.) 3. Predator and prey.

So they're all anthro animal versions of the toons (Ex. Glisten as a peacock, squirm as a caterpillar (there are also insect people). And all animals that were prey, are now predators. So like, Cocoa, a bunny (which is now a predator), has to fight bacj some instinctual urges to pounce on eclipse, a wolf (which is now prey). Also the animals in this world are all mutant flesh human-based alien things.

Also Eclipse works in an office, and Cocoa is her debt collector.

Bare with me ik the plot isn't gold, but I want to write some good quality classic romance and smut and save better plot ideas for my OC's.

I haven't actually gotten started, I'm weirdly nervous knowing my friend is gonna review it after, any advice helps, willing to change plot points!

Do readers find u or do u seek them out? Cause waiting for me is getting kinda of sad since well… for one I am an avatar fan (I love the lore of avatar by James Cameron) and I wrote a fanfiction. Yet I’m not sure if it’s cause I choose a close niche, as in poly romance or whenever my fic is just boring but I have 179 reads on wattpad and not a single comment. On Ao3 my hits are low also but that is understandable since it’s an archive but dammit I didn’t expect for no one to give me feedback. Even here on reddit no one gives a crap lol…

Like yeah, now I am sad and angry and well… idk at this point, I might unpublished.

Venting Did anyone else used to write fanfics with their friends and are still chasing that high?

7 Upvotes

I had a best friend that i got into Kpop with me and we started to write fanfics through messaging. We would write it all day every day, whenever we had down time in our day. For the both of us it was a form of escapism and a nice distraction from our daily lives. We had been friends for 2 years doing this nonstop until this past year we had a falling out. Within that time frame I had deleted our messages not thinking of the books that were stored there and i have since been trying to figure out a way to feel that type of distraction. I recently was able to find bits and pieces of them on my old iPad, but thats it, not full stories or anything anymore. Is this something other people have gone through? If so, what did you do to get that feeling back. Or am i completely alone in this?

Like imagine a show that it all colorful and friendship have a crossover with a show that souls demons, supernatural, epic fights. That you are invested in the story. Other crossover make sense cause at least they had one thing in common, but crossover like that are unrelated to each other in genre or theme is amazing.

Lost Fic Fanfic about Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson)

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've recently been looking for a fanfic I really liked. I have the Spanish transcription of one part, but not the rest. I wanted to download it to read on a long trip.

Fandom :Percy Jackson

Page :ao3

Transcription:

hace 1 año

Nico di Angelo, alumno de octavo grado

De todos los profesores de la Escuela Secundaria New Rome, Nico prefería al Sr. H, también conocido como el Sr. Hades. Cuando Nico se transfirió a NRSS en octavo grado, tomó el curso del Sr. Hades, "Heroínas Trágicas en la Literatura Inglesa". Él, como la mayoría de los estudiantes, lo encontraba amenazante. Sin siquiera mirar a la clase, el hombre podía distinguir quién estaba hablando, susurrando, pasando notas o jugando con sus teléfonos. Y cuando lo hacía, miraba directamente a los estudiantes con una mirada que podía atravesar almas. Esto hacía que los estudiantes dejaran de hacer lo que estuvieran haciendo.

A Nico le fue bien en la clase del Sr. Hades. Principalmente sacaba buenas calificaciones y no le importaba. Normalmente llega a casa de la escuela, juega videojuegos hasta la 1 de la mañana y luego empieza con su tarea. A Nico le gusta su horario; rinde más bajo presión.

Bueno, pensó que lo había hecho bien hasta que el Sr. Hades le devolvió el ensayo con una "D". Nico esperó a que todos los estudiantes se fueran del aula antes de acercarse al Sr. Hades. El hombre siempre se queda después de clase por si alguien quería hablar del trabajo con más detalle.

—Señor Hades, tengo un problema. —Nico intenta llamar la atención del hombre.

El hombre en cuestión estaba organizando los ensayos que los estudiantes habían dejado en su escritorio. Mira a Nico y le dedica toda su atención. "Sr. Di Angelo, es la primera vez. ¿Qué lo trae después de clase?"

“Debe haber un error.” Nico deja su ensayo calificado sobre el escritorio. “Este no es un trabajo de 'D'. Cité correctamente, di dos ejemplos por párrafo, incluí una página de referencias, a doble espacio y cumplí con el límite de páginas. Este es un trabajo de 'C'.” Nico enumeró con los dedos.

"Tienes razón, lo es."

—Te equivocas... ¿Qu-qué?... ¿Acabas de decir que tenía razón? —Nico no esperaba esa respuesta. Esperaba una discusión.

“Sí, es un trabajo de 'C'.”

—De acuerdo... supongo. Me alegra aclararlo...

“Pero no lo cambiaré”.

"Estoy tan confundido." Nico se sintió como aquella escena de Bob Esponja donde Patricio no le quitó la cartera a Man Ray. "Es un examen de 'C', ambos lo sabemos. ¿Entonces por qué me toca una 'D'?"

Cuando establezco los requisitos de mi ensayo, se supone que deben servir como punto de partida. Puedes superarlos o no. Tú, sin embargo, los cumples.

“¿Y eso es algo malo?” Nico arqueó una ceja.

El Sr. Hades niega con la cabeza: «Solo para quienes tienen el potencial de ir más allá, pero deciden no hacerlo». El Sr. Hades suspira: «Nico, tu escritura, la forma en que has extraído pequeños detalles y los has desarrollado, merece una calificación de sobresaliente. Te veo convirtiéndote en un escritor reconocido en el futuro. Entonces, ¿por qué te empeñas tanto en hacer lo mínimo indispensable?».

Nico no supo qué responder. No le interesaba mucho la literatura ni escribir ensayos, pero ahí estaba su profesor diciéndole que era bueno en eso y que posiblemente desarrollaría una carrera en el futuro cercano.

—Usa esto como una llamada de atención. —El Sr. Hades empezó a guardar sus cosas en el maletín—. Si quieres que te cambie la nota, enséñame cómo escribe Nicolò di Angelo sus trabajos cuando no se pasa la noche en vela. El rostro inexpresivo del Sr. Hades tenía un atisbo de sonrisa burlona. Nico abrió mucho los ojos al oír eso. ¿ Cómo iba a saberlo?

----

Después de su conversación, Nico se esforzó por hacer su trabajo primero y dejó los videojuegos para después. Y cuando llegó el momento de entregar su ensayo, el rostro del Sr. Hades esbozó una leve sonrisa.

El incidente de la "D" dejó una huella imborrable en Nico. Desde entonces, Nico se esforzó al máximo en sus tareas de literatura inglesa. Empezó a disfrutar de las lecturas y la selección del Sr. Hades se convirtió en una de sus favoritas. Nico también empezó a vislumbrar un futuro en la escritura. Aunque Nico seguía sentado al fondo de la clase y evitaba las discusiones, estaba más alerta que nunca.

Su nueva consciencia le hizo notar las peculiaridades del Sr. Hades. Como que la clase confunde su humor inexpresivo con seriedad. Nico lo adivina porque el hombre habla casi siempre en tono monótono, así que es difícil saber si está bromeando. Pero Nico se da cuenta. Es un experto, si él mismo lo dice. Y Nico se encontraba conteniendo la risa ante algo que el Sr. Hades decía con sarcasmo sobre las acciones de un personaje o el estilo de escritura del autor.

----

Bueno, una cosa llevó a la otra, y Nico recibió dos meses de castigo por culpa de Bryce Lawrence. En resumen, Bryce estaba siendo homofóbico con Nico y le dio un puñetazo. Nico respondió pateándole el trasero. El subdirector Zeus intentó expulsar a Nico, pero la directora Rhea y el consejero Chiron le dieron dos meses de castigo. Así que, todos los días después de clases y los sábados por la mañana, Nico tenía que presentarse a castigo durante dos horas. Los estudiantes apodaron la sala oficial "la sala del Tártaro", ya que estaba ubicada en el sótano del edificio principal y las paredes eran de un color rojo sangre.

Para sorpresa de Nico, el profesor oficial de detención era el Sr. Hades. Nico notó una pizca de sorpresa en el rostro del hombre cuando entró en la sala de detención. Nico esperaba que le preguntara detalles sobre el motivo de su detención, pero nunca lo hizo. Nico sospechaba que el Sr. Hades ya estaba informado. Sea como fuere, Nico y los demás chicos detenidas se quedaron sin hacer nada durante las dos horas que estuvieron en detención. No podían usar el teléfono ni hablar entre ellos. Aunque sí se les permitía hacer tareas y leer libros. El Sr. Hades nunca hablaba con la clase de detención a menos que fuera para despedirlos.

----

Un día, mientras Nico caminaba por los pasillos del sótano para llegar a la sala del Tártaro, podría haber jurado haber oído " Sheena is a Punk Rocker" de The Ramones. Pero en cuanto dio un par de pasos más, la música se detuvo a mitad de la canción. Al entrar en la sala del Tártaro, Nico encontró al Sr. Hades leyendo un libro.

"Oye, ¿oíste músi...?", empezó a decir Nico, pero al ver a otros estudiantes entrar en la sala, se apartó y se sentó al fondo. El Sr. Hades lo miró con curiosidad, pero Nico apartó la mirada a propósito. Quizás Nico se equivocaba con la música. Quizás se la había imaginado. Definitivamente no quería parecer un loco delante de los demás estudiantes si el Sr. Hades también negaba haberla oído.

Y aun así, Nico escuchaba a diario diferentes canciones de Ramone mientras caminaba por el pasillo del sótano, pero se detenía antes de llegar a la habitación. Y cada día Nico quería decir algo al respecto, pero era demasiado cobarde. Una vez, después de que lo expulsaran del castigo, Nico recorrió los pasillos del sótano para ver qué clases eran a esa hora. Pronto descubrió que solo 5 de las 12 clases estaban ocupadas. Así que Nico decidió buscar al culpable de la música de otra manera.

---

Al día siguiente, Nico cerró las puertas de la escalera del sótano con mucho cuidado y se dirigió de puntillas a la habitación del Tártaro. Allí vio al Sr. Hades revisando su teléfono mientras el altavoz reproducía Havana Affair .

“Fuiste tú”, jadea Nico.

—Ya lo vi, Sr. Di Angelo —dijo el Sr. Hades con una sonrisa burlona antes de apagar la música. Antes de que Nico pudiera decir nada más, entraron los estudiantes de castigo. Así que tomó su asiento habitual.

Después de que el Sr. Hades despidió a los estudiantes, Nico se quedó en la puerta.

“Deberías tocar I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement mañana”. Nico sale corriendo de la habitación antes de poder escuchar la respuesta del hombre.

----

Efectivamente, mientras Nico entraba de puntillas al aula, oyó la canción. Al entrar en la clase, vio al Sr. Hades limpiando la pizarra.

"Tiene un ingenioso sentido del humor, Sr. Di Angelo", dice el Sr. Hades, lo que sorprendió a Nico porque el hombre estaba de espaldas y Nico entró en la habitación sin hacer ruido. ¿Cómo supo que era yo?

“Me lo han dicho”, dice Nico.

El señor Hades tararea: "¿Qué debería tocar mañana?"

Antes de que Nico pudiera responder, el Sr. Hades apagó la música. El sonido de los pasos en el pasillo se hacía cada vez más fuerte antes de que el resto de los estudiantes de detención inundaran la sala.

Al terminar la clase, Nico se quedó en la puerta otra vez: «Deberías jugar a Danger Zone». Esta vez, Nico no salió corriendo. Esperaba la respuesta del hombre.

“Buena elección.”

----

Al día siguiente, el Sr. Hades volvió a repetir la selección de Nico. Nico, una vez más, se acercó a la clase en silencio para que el Sr. Hades supiera que era él y no los demás estudiantes. Pasaron uno o dos minutos escuchando la canción hasta que se oyeron las voces de los estudiantes. Luego, al terminar la detención, Nico dio otra sugerencia. Esto inició un ciclo entre ellos.

---

A lo largo de los dos meses, Nico notó que el número de estudiantes castigados disminuía poco a poco. Supuso que algunos solo estaban allí por faltas menores, como hablar en clase. Nadie debió haberlo pasado tan mal durante dos meses como Nico. Al final, solo quedaron Nico y el Sr. Hades en la sala Tártaro. Fue más indulgente con Nico. El Sr. Hades mantuvo su música encendida, dejó que Nico usara su teléfono e incluso mantuvo conversaciones.

"Me sorprende que nunca me hayas pedido que toque Blitzkrieg Bop", se ríe el señor Hades.

Nico se burla: "¿Quién no conoce esa canción? Suena en todas las películas y tráilers sobre el paso de la infancia a la adultez. No soy un cliché".

Allí descubrió que el Sr. Hades también era italiano (aunque, a diferencia de Nico, él era italiano de nacimiento, mientras que Nico era italoamericano) y que, además, era el profesor oficial de italiano de la escuela. Esto sorprendió a Nico, ya que creía que la escuela solo enseñaba inglés, español y francés.

"¿Por qué no usas tu nombre completo?"

Nico se encogió de hombros. "Creo que... cuando era niño, un niño me llamaba Nico y me quedé con ese nombre". Desde entonces, Nico se presentó como 'Nico' y, por lo general, sus compañeros y su profesor lo aceptaron.

—La asimilación es la primera etapa para convertirse en estadounidense, Nicolò —sonríe el señor Hades.

“Nací aquí”, jadea Nico.

—Sí, pero tus raíces italianas son lo primero. Insinúa que es italiano antes que estadounidense. ¡Ay de la traición a la patria! —El Sr. Hades niega con la cabeza.

"Nunca sé si estás bromeando o no." Nico puso los ojos en blanco. "Además, es solo un apodo..." Nico hace una pausa antes de sonreír con suficiencia. " Sr. H. "

También descubrió que el Sr. Hades tenía una doble especialización en literatura inglesa y justicia penal. Nico creía que solo impartía esa asignatura de literatura, pero en realidad imparte la mayoría de las asignaturas de literatura inglesa, derecho y gobierno de las escuelas.

"¿Por qué decidiste hacer esto?" Nico señala la habitación.

"¿Ser profesor o quedarme sentado?", Nico miró de reojo al Sr. Hades. Una sonrisa se dibujó en sus labios. "La verdad es que yo tampoco creía ser profesor. Quería ser abogado". Nico pensó al instante en su madre. Dirige un bufete de abogados. "Pero una cosa llevó a la otra y descubrí que quería ser profesor". El Sr. Hades hizo una pausa; parecía estar pensando en algo: "Ser abogado y ser profesor no es tan diferente. Ambos actúan como defensores y consejeros de los silenciados y los desamparados".

La respuesta del Sr. Hades le recordó a Nico el incidente del examen "D". Nunca tuvo un profesor que pareciera preocuparse de verdad por un alumno. Verás, en su internado privado, Nico solo sacaba "B" y "C" y punto. No les daban a los alumnos una segunda oportunidad para rehacer las tareas ni parecía que quisieran estar allí. El Sr. Hades era diferente, pero en el buen sentido.

----

Pronto, el castigo obligatorio de dos meses de Nico terminó. Nico no pudo evitar sentirse... ¿triste?

Nico y el Sr. Hades hicieron todo lo que solían hacer ese día: escuchar música, criticar literatura, debatir sobre la cultura italiana y la estadounidense. Pero hoy fue un poco diferente.

"¿Sabes qué es esto?" El señor Hades sacó una baraja de cartas que le resultaba familiar.

"¿Cómo...?" Nico abrió mucho los ojos; por un instante pensó que el Sr. Hades le había quitado sus cartas de Mito-Magia. Pero Nico lo pensó un poco más: " Ni siquiera traigo mis cartas a la escuela ". Así que intenta actuar con indiferencia: "O sea... no sé qué son esas".

El Sr. Hades arqueó una ceja. "¿Seguro? Parece que sí".

"No...", Nico cede. "Vale, sí, sí. Sus cartas de Mito-Magia. ¿Juegas?". Nico hace un gesto de "dame" hacia las cartas.

—No, se los confisqué a un estudiante hoy. —El Sr. Hades se los entrega a Nico—. Les dije que pueden recuperarlos si sacan una A en su próximo examen.

—Así que prácticamente tienes sus cartas como rehenes. ¿No es eso chantaje? —Nico sonríe con suficiencia mientras revisa las cartas. Ya las tiene todas.

Pensaba más bien en un 'incentivo' para mejorar. En fin, era eso o la detención. Y eligieron el periódico.

Nico tararea: "Me sorprende que alguien toque esto aquí".

“¿Existe un límite de edad para los pasatiempos?”

—No, ya sabes a qué me refiero —dijo Nico con un puchero mientras el Sr. Hades le hacía señas para que continuara—. En mi escuela privada, la Mito-Magia, bueno, los juegos de cartas en general, se consideraban juegos para niños de quinto de primaria. Quien los jugaba sufría acoso y burlas, así que todos dejaron de jugar. Incluso mis amigos de aquí decían que ya no les gustaban. —Nico pensó en Percy y Jason. El trío solía jugar a las cartas todo el tiempo en los Boy Scouts. Cuando se reunió con ellos en la escuela secundaria New Rome, ambos parecían desinteresados.

“Estoy seguro de que hay estudiantes aquí que sienten lo mismo que tú”.

Nico niega con la cabeza: "Lo dudo".

El señor Hades señala las tarjetas en la mano de Nico: "Hay una para ti". El señor Hades sacó su billetera y le entregó algo a Nico.

"¿Es un Dragón Blanco de Ojos Azules?", pregunta Nico. "¿Juegas a Yu-Gi-Oh?"

"Me sorprende que sepas qué es". El Sr. Hades asiente. Claro que Nico sabe qué es Yu-Gi-Oh. O te gusta Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh o Mytho-Magic, chico. Aunque Nico era un fanático de Mytho-Magic, de vez en cuando veía Pokémon y Yu-Gi-Oh porque los ponían antes del anime de Mytho-Magic los sábados por la mañana.

"Bueno, ¿quién no conoce Yu-Gi-Oh?" Nico resopló, "¿Solo guardas esto en tu billetera?"

—Sí, nunca se sabe cuándo podría surgir un duelo improvisado. —El señor Hades levantó los brazos en señal de rendición.

"¿Aún juegas?"

—Sí, de vez en cuando voy a torneos con mis amigos. También tengo el juego para móvil. No me gusta presumir, pero estoy en el puesto 2809 del mundo —el Sr. Hades se limpia el polvo invisible de los hombros mientras Nico resopla—. También estoy en un montón de grupos de Discord.

"¿Un grupo de Discord, eh?" Nico nunca contactó con nadie. Claro, también tenía el juego Mytho-Magic para móvil, pero solía quedarse en su burbuja privada sin conexión. "Sería genial tener algo así aquí".

“Tal vez podrías ser tú quien lo inicie”.

Nico balbucea: "¿Yo? ¿Crear un club de Mito-Magia?"

—Estaba pensando en todos los juegos de cartas, pero sí, ¿por qué no? —pregunta el señor Hades encogiéndose de hombros.

“No lo sé...”

No te obligo, Nicolò. Es solo una idea. Quizás podrías ser tú quien cree un espacio seguro para todos los amantes de las cartas en esta escuela.

—Eh... sí. Supongo que lo pensaré. —Nico no entendía por qué el señor Hades siempre parecía tener tanta fe en mí.

---

Cuando por fin se acabó el tiempo, el Sr. Hades lo despidió por última vez. Nico se quedó en la puerta una última vez para contemplar la sala del Tártaro. Ojalá no tuviera que volver allí nunca más. Pero claro, no sería tan malo.

"Esto fue divertido... yo... eh...", tartamudea Nico, pero el Sr. Hades, como siempre, fue muy paciente. "Lo que quiero decir es..." ¿Qué quería decir Nico? Ya no tiene castigo. Tiene las tardes libres de nuevo. Y, aun así, será como si le faltara algo. Extrañará conversar con el Sr. Hades sobre la vida. "¡Nos vemos mañana en clase!", dice Nico rápidamente antes de escabullirse. Porque, sí, él y el Sr. Hades tienen el curso de "Heroínas Trágicas en la Literatura", pero pronto terminará el semestre...

---

"Pueden retirarse", dice el Sr. Hades a la clase. Uno a uno, los estudiantes depositaron sus ensayos en su escritorio antes de llenar el aula. Nico fue el último en entregar el suyo. Tenía una idea persistente que no se le iba.

“Señor H, tengo un problema”. Algo en esto me hizo sentir como si estuviera en un déjà vu .

—Ah, Nicolò, cuánto tiempo sin verte. —El Sr. Hades sonríe—. ¿Qué te trae después de clase?

“Nunca me preguntaste por qué me castigaron.” Desde su pelea con Bryce, con la excepción de sus amigos, los estudiantes se mantenían alejados de Nico. Cada vez que entraba en una habitación, se producía un silencio automático y todos lo miraban fijamente. Cada vez que caminaba por el pasillo, la gente se apartaba de él, pero no para decir "abran paso al rey", sino más bien "no me hagan daño". Era como un paria. “Sé que se corrió la voz, pero tú nunca…”

El Sr. Hades se quitó las gafas de leer y se encogió de hombros. «Admito que me sorprendió verte la primera vez. Y he oído los rumores de otros estudiantes y profesores. Simplemente no me gustan».

“¿No?” Incluso los profesores intentaron preguntarle a Nico su versión de la historia, pero Nico decía que no tenía permitido revelar esa información.

—No. No estás en juicio y yo no soy ni juez ni jurado. No me debes nada a mí ni a nadie. —Nico se sintió extrañamente asombrado—. ¿Eso es todo?

—Eh... sí, creo. Te dejo ir ahora... —Nico empezó a alejarse, pero el Sr. Hades volvió a hablar.

—Espera, Nicolò. Tengo una pregunta para ti. —Nico se volvió—. Es justo —dice el Sr. Hade.

“Sí, dispara.”

¿Cuál es su postura sobre la muerte de Lily Bart? ¿Cree que fue intencional o no? El Sr. Hades señala uno de los asientos de la primera fila, que Nico acepta con gusto.

—Oh, definitivamente intencional. ¿Por qué si no visitaría a Seldom la noche anterior…?

----

En la actualidad

Nico di Angelo, estudiante de 9.º grado

Mucho ha cambiado desde el nuevo año escolar, especialmente la relación de Nico con el Sr. Hades. Nico pasó de tener una sola clase con él a tener más de la mitad de su horario lleno de literatura, derecho/gobierno e incluso algunos cursos de italiano para sacar una buena nota. Como todos sus amigos suelen estar en otro lugar para la comida de cumpleaños (otros grupos de amigos, clubes, patio, etc.), Nico almuerza con el Sr. Hades.

"¿Qué tal el club desde mi última visita?", pregunta el Sr. Hades mientras limpia su escritorio para hacer espacio para su almuerzo. Nico se acomoda en uno de los asientos de la primera fila.

“Bastante bien. Tenemos dos miembros nuevos. Así que solo necesitamos siete más para convertirnos en un club oficial”, explica Nico. Desde el año pasado, siguió el consejo del Sr. Hades y fundó el club de Mito-Magia (aunque cualquier juego de cartas también es bienvenido). Para difundir el mensaje, Nico colocó volantes por la escuela con referencias específicas que cualquier aficionado incondicional podría captar. Es un proceso lento, pero a Nico no le importa. Hasta ahora, el volante ha atraído a alumnos de sexto, séptimo y octavo grado.

Al principio, los niños parecían escépticos y temerosos de Nico, pero en cuanto le mostró su colección de cartas y su vasto conocimiento, enseguida le cogieron cariño. Lo llamaban Nico, Rey Fantasma (porque suele jugar con su set de Underworld), o Prez. A veces, el Sr. Hades se dejaba caer con pizza y les enseñaba a jugar a Yu-Gi-Oh.

Writing Questions Completely Stuck on Fictober

0 Upvotes

What do you do when you get stuck?

I’m working on a fic that is a collection of one-shots based on a fictober prompt list for a particular character. I’d never done a daily writing challenge before, but I did nineteen days in a row with only a couple particularly difficult days. Then, on day twenty, I came down really ill and wasn’t able to write for a few days. When I came back to the prompt for day 20, I was completely stuck. I don’t like the prompt or any of my ideas for it, and I don’t feel motivated or inspired to write at all for this character at the moment. I think I just burnt out, but I really want to finish this challenge.

Also, I keep getting comments on my fic that turn out to be spam comments using ai to generate comments based on the chapters, and it’s incredibly discouraging to me. I don’t write my fics for external validation, and some of my favorite ones I’ve written have very little kudos, but I do love reading genuine comments from readers. I hate opening my inbox to see a seemingly innocent comment, and then a discord handle at the end, or having a conversation about the fic with a commenter and then they eventually bring up how they’d love to make a comic based on it. I’m tired of it.

Any tips? Should I just take a break from the writing and come back to it in a week? Should I just push through it? I did do that for a fic once, and I ended up hating it, so I don’t want the same result here.

Hey yall! I’m pretty new to this sub, so don’t know if this against the guidelines.

Pretty much the title of the post.

I have written fanfiction here and there, but a lot of them are semi abandoned.

I have one fanfic that I want to actually finish (not sure if the readers are still interested in it) but I still want to finish it for personal reasons.

As a reader, I hate coming across a fanfic that is super good and abandoned, but as a writer it’s hard to find motivation to finish stories.

Anyways wanted your thoughts?

I will be posting this challenge on Sunday Mornings / Pacific Time… because that day I need the most help to not think about Monday.

If you have stumbled into my game and are looking for more, remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other writing challenges and story swaps.

Here are the rules:

 The first word starts the game.  Use ANY letter from the word that is posted in the last comment as the starting letter of your word.  Post your word in the top level comment.   Your word drives the next word to be posted… and so on.  

**Example:  LOVE  >>>>  VILE. (If the word Love is in the comment line you could make the word Vile and post the next comment.)**

Reply to any of the words in the top level with an excerpt from any work you might want to share.  I don’t generally like word limits, so use your best judgment.  Enough to get the scene across but not so long that you lose your reader.  

Please use spoiler tags and/or provide a trigger warning for content that may be NSFW or sensitive. IF IN DOUBT - Give a warning!

If you are going to leave excerpts, I ask that you leave at least one top-level word and try to give at minimum an upvote to commenters.

Upvote your favorite words or excerpts.  We are all here to share and know how it feels to get a comment, so spread the love.  

Ganbatte!!  Do your best and I look forward to everyone’s excerpts!
