INUYASHA x SAILOR MOON x D&D WILD MAGIC

Ohio wasn't great to begin with but it certainly didn't have magic and monsters. Thrust into the Realm, Kassidy will have to harness her new deity powers quickly...and then risk that very magic to save those she loves.

Her five little orbs of light flashed to life around her from the sped up heart rate. It only increased further when he locked his gaze with hers again. “That’s not an actual word.” She narrowed her eyes at him. “It’s an actual word. Lots of people where I’m from use it.” Her lights flickered to a deep yellow, like a traffic light warning to proceed with caution. Something in his gaze softened again, those cat-like eyes reflecting the stars like little golden galaxies. “Do you know your eyes glow when you use your magic?” Kassidy blinked. She had no idea. “Like…in a weird way?” Her lights were the only light source now, painting them both in a muted orange glow. The fireworks had ended, but she didn’t remember when that was, swallowed up entirely when he seemed to lean closer, all five lights glowing like glittering fireflies. “It’s not weird, it’s—” Screenshots of comments overlaying a picture of books.

Rio waited for Xak to follow, but he stayed where he was; he folded his arms across his chest, a very strained smile on his face like he knew once Kassidy was out of earshot, he would drop the pleasantries. Fine. He copied the guard's stance. “Go on, Harlowe.” That polite smile did drop into a frown, that picture-perfect mask of calmness falling, and Xak shook his head at him. “You are still so glaringly obvious, Hawthorne.” His brows shot up at the same time Xak’s did. “Am I wrong?” Rio shrugged, knowing the flippant attitude got under the guards skin the most. “I happen to think I’m being very subtle—” “Do you like her or not,” Xak growled, the sheer force behind it catching Rio of guard, “because I swear to the entire Realm, Prince, if you are merely playing with her—” “You’re gonna spit blood the next time you spit out that title at me,” Rio warned. He wouldn’t follow through for Kassidy’s sake, but it was tempting. “But no, I am not playing with her.” Nothing about this felt like playing, if anything it was unnerving how desperate it made him feel.

Mallory thinks she's finally discovered why people have tried to kill her since she was three--a prophecy that predicts a Harbinger that has the power to bring down the empire, and a chosen one who is the only one with the power to stop it. Just one problem...she's the Harbinger.

Sef is tasked by the local royal family to use his magic to find their missing prince. There's just one problem: Sef doesn't actually *have* any magic, and if anyone discovers he's a fraud, he'll be executed. This is fine.

"You’re always typing away, but never on that novel.” 📖

If the idea of someone reading your old fanfic out loud, while you're helpless to stop it, scares you...start writing before he comes.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
