Of course, one thing manages to unfailingly remain the same: that damn Taotie is still around to piss him off.

Inspired by the Human Domestication Guide setting but utterly missing the point, choosing to focus on a misinterpretation of the affini's philosophy and how, to at least one silly little human, it bears a striking similarity to benevolent nihilism.

Remember taking all those trips with your parents and every time you got going, someone inevitably asks the question "are we there yet"? Yeah, this is nothing like that. This short story has everything that nobody wants!... more>>

Gods? Greek, Norse, Eldritch, you bet!
Mythology? In moderate amounts.
Jokes? So many you'll start to wonder where the actual story is!
Things so obscure to the average person that you might need to grab an encyclopedia? What kind of story would this be without those!
Romance? No, we've got everything else though, including the kitchen sink.
Poop throwing? You bet we do!
A protagonist that uses their mind? Absolutely not! I mean, they aren't even a living being, technically, and they certainly aren't biological in origin.

While this story is tagged as a gender bender, the protagonist is non-binary/gender fluid. What this means is that the pronoun usage is irrelevant in terms of telling the actual story. The pronoun choices made are simply a reflection of the isolated main character's perception of self based on its own understanding of the world, just as the individual inside Plato's cave, would have no understanding of being male or female.
This short story was also inspired by the Chinese novel "Journey to the West" (also known by the titles "Monkey" and "The Monkey King") credited as being written by Wu Cheng'en. <<less

The penal labor colony called Solstice lies nearly 500 light years from Earth. For decades, the planet was used by the fascist Terran Accord as a dumping ground for prisoners, political and otherwise — that is, until the prisoners organized and won a hard-fought revolution against their corporate overlords and took the planet for themselves. The Accord, on the back foot in their war against the Affini, struck back from orbit, and fired a single shot that almost rendered the planet uninhabitable. For an aging revolutionary at the heart of it all, the arrival of the Affini means salvation for her people, but it also marks the beginning of a new fight for liberation. ... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> This story is set in the Human Domestication Guide collaborative universe.

Rich land owner, Grimwald, once leisurely spending his time hunting and practicing with a sword, with nary a worry in the world, all of a sudden became riches to rags after a painful familial betrayal.
With no one there to protect him from a cruel technicality, and only able to take what he can carry from his land; he sets out with little more than clothes on his back, provisions and bitterness. His life turned into a monotony of dealing with low-lives, greedy merchants and shady characters.
Like in a mad unending loop, he resentfully struggles to find a way to make enough coin for day-by-day life.
After taking out his pent-up anger on a... more>> couple belligerent drunks, a mysterious man sat next to him.
"Wouldn't you rather do something that matters? With a band of loyal brothers?" He asked.
"Oh yeah? Like what? You've got something better to do?" With a gulp from his tankard, Grimwald dismissed the man.
"Things you can't ever tell anyone." The man, unbothered by his attitude, continued.
A brief exchange occurred, after all. Grimwald questioned, and the man answered.
"The Empire's good people can sleep, because our enemies are afraid to."
"Afraid of what?" Grimwald asked, his interest now captured.

Some people, on the other hand, rise to the occasion and do everything in their power to reach freedom. Among these types of individuals, there is Akir, a psychologically tormented young man with an unusual history. After he is transported into a mysterious construct called the Ruins, he starts a ruthless journey towards true freedom, which he believes will bring him happiness.

Things don't go according to plan, though, as the trials he is put through start making him question his morality and the opinions he lives by. Eventually, his identity comes into question, and he starts to lose himself, his life goals threatening to fade into nothingness.

Trapped in an opulent mansion and adorned in a medieval dress, Eydis the maid (or Amelia, homeless in her modern world), the reigning queen of snark, grapples with a unique ability – her thoughts burst forth like fireworks. No magic, just relentless noise, a gift bestowed by none other than the wicked witches of the woods.... more>>

Now, armed with daggers of sarcasm, a penchant for mischief and a seductive allure, Eydis plunges into a convoluted tapestry of secrets. She deftly sidesteps shadows, untangles the threads of her own forgotten past, and battles to quiet the chorus in her head before everything erupts.

Can a girl without magic outsmart witches, monsters, nobles flaunting well-endowed magical abilities, or a roommate who despises her, to rewrite prophecies, and uncover the truth about her existences, all before everything descends into chaos?

Author's note: prominently GL (slow burn), but also features all kind of loves.
