Honor Among Thieves
unpublished
You're Caelani, a member of the Thieves' Guild coming back from a job when an unexpected incident and an innocent desire to help catapults you into danger.
My entry for Bucky's Year's End contest.
This is my first story in a realistic fantasy setting. That seems to be the most popular here so I'll write more like this if the feedback is good.
Springberry Morning
unpublished
In the enchanted valley of Bellflower, the youngest fairydragons gather to pick berries for the annual Springberry celebration.
Written for Mizal's Tiny 'Topia jam. I lost all my progress on a longer game and wanted something small to write that would make me happy. It was hard writing a game under 2000 words, but I learned a lot about scripting that I'm excited to use in other projects.
Big thanks to BerkaZerka and Mizal for help with the scripting! Please rate and leave a comment, and if you find a bug in the game please tell me, I tested it as much as I could but something might have slipped by.
Yael
unpublished
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and so He allowed them to be conquered by Jabin the king of Canaan. The captain of his army was Sisera.
Sisera had nine hundred chariots of iron; and for twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
In the days of Yael, the highways were unoccupied, and travellers walked through winding paths to avoid assault. The villages were abandoned, and the people cried out to the Lord for deliverance.

Ancients ARE pretty nice though.

Oh whoops. I had my reply tab sitting open awhile.

Hey, kook how pretty she is! ^^^^
Ridgeback females LOOK like an actual dragon in a way that not many others do. And Ridgeback males...well, let's not talk about them.
I hadn't been specifically looking for ridgebacks though, my predicament is that I'm very picky for lore reasons, and I also cannot stand to put two different species together on the same nest. So I searched for Fire element dragons that were ready to breed, and the ones that weren't basic gened gen one rejects ended up being on the pricier end, and I also needed two of the same kind with matchy looks.
Besides progens that pair are likely to be my first semi-permas, though I got a few Cirrus now I like. Basically I intend to have an 70% Fire element lair, with Wind traders moving through because of my progens story ties to their caravans. Anyone not a Fire dragon is going to be implied to need magical protection though, the Ashfall Wastes are pretty hellish for others.
This was all much easier when I did it before with a Wind lair, Faes and Spirals are easy to come by, and the Windssept Plateau is livable for everyone. Plus you can get cheap gen ones that way and avoid a bunch of random different species in the family tree. (have I mentioned I hate that?)
Coatls are the native fire species though and you can only get gen one coatls with an insanely expensive breed change scroll. And Banescales are the fire based ancient but I really only want one of those, he's going to be my villain in the lore.
But while I'm building up my money there's going to be a lot of turnover, the other two pairs I had were temporary just to get some hatchlings to sell, they were just sheltering in the monastery until the eggs hatched and then moved on. (There is a persistent threat to the region in the form of bandits, Shade-corrupted wildlife, and the Banescale I don't have yet, but he'll also act as my main trainer once I have time to level him up.) I'll be getting pairs just to hatch eggs and then moving the whole group out though in the meantime, there's no reason to feed temporary dragons for over half a month when I can just sell them to buy more and put them on nests immediately.

UD?
Doesn't seem likely, but he posted about people passing on genetic disorders not long ago.

Why are you this way?

It's a little annoying how flooded the AH is with NotN familiars. Most of them are trash with no resell value, I really had to dig for familiars that cost 2kt and will sell for 1.5 when I'm done with them. The others are only good for Baldwin, but copper muck is worth almost nothing now.
Had anyone made anything good with Sophie's Stitches? That's another place that wasn't there when I used to play this a lot.

Have now quadrupled my gems. It helped a lot to join during Mistral for the free scrolls and holiday items to resell that's the reason I didn't wait.
Prompt Contest 5 Progress discussion on 3/30/2026 2:31:03 AM
I am so glad we have that extension.
Flight Rising on 3/30/2026 2:30:08 AM
I'll keep this in mind as a possibility, thanks. I did some testing and Obsidian looks really good with Ragged and Tear, which already makes it cheaper than what I'd planned.
I'm up to just a little over 50 gems now and trying to decide between using the gold I have on a third nest, or Ambush on my progens. I'm hitting a brick wall on the Woodland Path right now, too many fast enemies that jump straight to physical damage. But I don't really have the time for this that I used to so I may just worry less about the combat for now, weird how employment can do that.
