It's been a couple of months since the incident at the Brimstone Institute of Demonics, where a dreaded Devil held the school's populace hostage and forced one of its staff to fight him, one-on-one. Though much time has passed since Cobalt Trayer ripped Diate's head clean from his shoulders, he remains haunted by the sanguine memories of that day, and finds himself struggling more and more with the infernal pain deep in his stomach.

As stress begins to pile up, between his students' upcoming final exams and his own personal struggles, Cobalt finds himself suddenly becoming the victim of his own reputation as he is sought out and tracked down by forces unseen.

The afflictions of an Incubus carry many ramifications, and he will be judged for them. <<less

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand?

This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly.

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.

"The only hope eh?" muttered a woman with short white hair, as she sat leaning against a wall painted with blood.
The lance sticking through her stood tall and proud. It irritated her.

She looked at her broken arm and then at the piles of corpses of short green creatures with pointy ears and noses.

She chuckled at the irony. She was told she was the only hope and yet here she was, dying to a mere thousand goblins.

Her ears perked as she heard footsteps. Through the musty tunnel across her came a hooded man.
He was tall, and had a long beard, the only part of his face she could see.
He had bandages wrapped around his hands and was covered in piles of cloth armor.
He had a large bow in his hand, but he didn't have an arrow in sight.

She once again chuckled at the appearance of the strange man as her painful grunts grew quieter and quieter and to silence.
