“Humans. I’d seen them before: one or two here and there over the years, a small pack once. It was always the same: crowds silently parting to make way for a lone hunter, dock workers going out of their way to avoid a human ship’s berth. But this one wanted to talk to me.” #BluePit #Q #SF #LGBT #A

UNFORGIVEN

If you had to pick between avenging your past, or saving your future, what would you pick?

For the superpowered Ricky, what was meant to be an easy decision quickly becomes impossible....

#F #SF #SP #C #Q #BluePit
Unforgiven by P T Lacy Being a superhero was supposed to be easy. Fans, fame and fortune, yours for the asking. But nothing ever comes easy for Ricky, known to the world as the flame-throwing Pyro. With the press on his back, his boss on his case, and a terrible thirst for booze, trouble is never far away. No sooner does he commit to clean himself up than his past comes calling. An old friend, long abandoned, reminds him of a broken promise to take down the ones who hurt them, a promise Ricky thought he’d left behind. Revenge might cost Ricky his freedom, or scorch his soul, or even make him a monster. Would he give up everything, just to bring peace to the dead?

Drafted into a ridiculous magical military academy, Posey develops a list of ways to get expelled—without committing murder. Lookin’ at you, Amelia.

As she fails, questions rise. Will Posey have to kill? Is getting expelled what she really wants? And why is that girl so damn pretty?
#bluepit #ya #f
75k YA Satirical Dystopian Fantasy 99 WAYS TO GET EX-SPELLED (WITHOUT COMMITTING MURDER By Victoria Jayne 星星亚 The Pitch Anarchocommunist, OCD-ridden Posey Peabody has been drafted into the American Army Academy for Powerful Witches. By entry stats she's the Winner--First Rank of her class. All is well as can be until Amelia Appleton takes her Rank with reckless, dangerous, wrong magic. And then Appleton doesn't get expelled. Competitive streak activated, Posey and Appleton engage in reckless, rule-breaking acts of magic and mischief. While trading First Rank between each other, Posey realizes that Appleton might not be such a weirdo after all. In fact, she's annoyingly pretty. That said, Appleton's got her eye on that government position through all this, and Posey would rather die than work for the fascists in charge. Posey's intention is to truly get expelled. She wants to be the first one to do it. Meanwhile, an underground betting ring rises up, classmates betting on whether or not Posey will have to kill someone to get expelled. Posey hopes it's not true, but whether or not she finds out is entirely up to her. & FIRST LINE SNIPPET Somewhere behind the stage, Headmaster Josephus Crimble is puking his guts out. I remind myself that it's okay if I start to count and stop myself after the limit, so long as I don't make it to ten. If you make it to ten, the limit goes down by one, Posey. Don't forget. I started at five hundred. Drifting through the rest of the day in this half-there state, I sit with my feelings locked tight in a jar of my own design. Ґ1l preserve my emotions like lemons, until they're laden with salt and mellowed in their sourness. That feeling, or lack thereof, feels warm as home to me, and my deep yearning for Nukeville ebbs into a soft ache that gently rubs my heart into a smoother, steadier rhythm. There will be no need for counting when there's no feeling to (dis)regulate.
