a/n: Another mini-chapter inspired by the SimFic Monthly Challenge. All still canon. I took the May theme of motherhood in a really dark direction. Enjoy! The flick of a broken light switch. A careful step around scattered books. A lean over caution tape to peek at one gold-embossed cover: The Landgraabs: A History. How appropriate. … Continue reading

Disturbance (Power Struggle, Chapter 9)
Man, this is boring. Shyu slumped in his chair, grateful for once to be seated off to the side and away from the ever-watchful camera lenses. At least here he didn’t have to pretend to be interested in the old Fire Sage’s every word, unlike his parents, grandmother, and brother in the row ahead. Beside … Continue reading

Personal History (Power Struggle, Chapter 8)
Tenna shifted in place, trying to find the right excuse to edge away from the metal clan woman who had spent the last ten minutes rambling on about her great city and her great family and just how great everything was.

Clanbuilding for Dummies, Chapter 11.5
a/n: This was originally an entry for the April SimFic Short Story Challenge, when the theme of the month was “fool.” It does, however, fit in with the overarching plot of Clanbuilding for Dummies, so I’ve decided to leave it in here as it’s own mini chapter. Kyle needed a chance to narrate, anyway. Enjoy! … Continue reading
Zarah (Power Struggle, Chapter 7)
The last coronation Bolin had attended had not gone particularly well. Actually, it was less of a coronation and more of a crazy dictator declaring her intentions to dictate crazily. The only other coronation that had happened in his lifetime was that of Firelord Izumi. He’d been thirteen at the time, less concerned with world … Continue reading
Clanbuilding for Dummies, Chapter 11
Welcome back, dear readers. While you might be wondering if we shall explore the goings-on on Miss H or Elliot today, we are actually opening on an entirely different household. This one a small single parent family–a struggling comedian and his not-quite-thirteen-year-old daughter. (The fact that she still looked like she was nine was a … Continue reading
Opportunity (Power Struggle, Chapter 6)
Mica had narrowed her choice of outfits down to two. A cute little red and orange sleeveless dress that was just short enough to annoy her dad. Or a classy blouse, jacket and and pencil skirt all in very deliberate un-Fire-Nation blue. “How about it, Bandit? Red or blue?” She looked both to her companion … Continue reading
Big News!
You guys know my announcement-style posts are few and far-between, but this one just couldn’t wait. First off, there won’t be an update tomorrow, as I’m speaking at Zenkaikon 2019 this weekend. Eek! But there will be a new chapter of both Power Struggle and Clanbuilding for Dummies next Friday to make up for it. … Continue reading
