A home for my work. Currently, two Webnovels are in the works (Kindling and Humility Lost). Short stories I end up writing will be here and categorized (many will be unrelated to existing works, however some which are will be indicated as such) and can be enjoyed at your leisure.
I’m also attempting National Novel Writing Month each year until I feasibly can’t, and all content generated from that will also end up here, for better or worse.
I don’t really stick to a schedule, outside of trying to make [progress] on [stuff]. I’m an active student with a lot of things on my plate, and as much as I wish this was my job, it isn’t (yet). I’m going to write as much as makes me happy and that I can handle.
Updates and new stuff will generally be towards the end of the month, just for my sanity. If I have things earlier, I’ll likely put it here. My discord is most commonly what gets updated, so join that.
If you like my stuff, here are some links to a variety of things:
My Kofi: If you really, really like my stuff, and have money to spare, donations are appreciated. I’d love to make money off of what I do here, so they’re appreciated where they come: https://ko-fi.com/aqui303
Discord Server where you’ll get updates about new chapters, discuss the various works, and exchange civil discourse about some dumb stuff. Link is here.
My Major Works:
My writing is mostly consolidated over three settings, that I’ve developed for a good while. Two of them, Aulia and Humility Lost, will primarily be expanded via web serials, larger projects which will be updated over likely years of writing. The third, Thaumaturgy, is mostly what my short stories and novels will fall into. That’s not to say there won’t be exceptions, but this is the general formula, of sorts. Once I get enough content for each, I’ll move each of these to it’s own page, but for now, consolidation.
Aulia: A medieval fantasy setting, Aulia is a world of magic and monsters, where magic and technology have mixed into effectively one. Magic is a well studied and documented phenomena, it’s practitioners forming into five schools of thought when it comes to harnessing their birthright. Five gods oversee the world, and supposedly ensure it’s safety, however as demonic incursion becomes more of a risk every day, and the world claws closer to war, it’s becoming more and more the responsibility of the powerful few to protect the many.
The story Kindling takes place in this setting, following Acuzio, a Sigilist who feels a patriotic draw to the army of the Kingdom he lives in, after his city and nation is besieged by an insurgent group called Noctis. Joining up with a strange cell of other magi, he aims to ensure that his country lives to see another day.
Humility Lost: Taking place in the 24th century, Humility Lost shows a version of humanity which has grasped the stars, technology beyond our understanding, and falling into the habits of some of our earliest days. An Interstellar Empire faces off with an Alliance of other powers across it’s history, with Commonwealths and Confederacy’s being a thorn in the side of both, and Terra, the progenitor of humanity, trying to reclaim ancient authority. The story itself takes place in the Y3K system, otherwise known as the Hive, a neutral trading ground originally held by various powers in pact. That was, until a space storm rolled in, and cut the system off from the rest of humanity. Around then, strange spatial warps began to manifest, and cause those caught in them to develop supernatural abilities, which begins to upend society.
The story of the same name takes place here, following Kaitalane, a young conscript in the Imperial army who is caught up in what warfare has become in the 24th century. After brutal injuries result in her discharge, she returns home to navigate the world…with a strange set of flesh warping powers to adapt to.
Thaumaturgy: An alternate history where the supernatural begins to crop up between 1962 and 1995, this Urban Fantasy anthology aims to show what happens when the veil of a purely scientific and logical world is shattered, when a nuclear holocaust is averted by a girl in a costume catching a missile out of the air. Over the next few decades, the separation between the normal and abnormal begins to diminish, and those living in the world are forced to either adapt, or be swept away. No web serial or long form project is associated with this setting, instead, most of my novels and short stories will take place here.
Short Stories: Various short stories I have written after 5/9/22. These are stories that I think are long enough and of enough quality to be their own thing, separate of existing works.
A story about a war being declared between two medieval powers, and the process of its organization and its battle. Naturally however, not everything is as its seems, and it is most certainly not a war fought…conventionally.
An anti corporate freedom fighter and his ragtag group of friends move to strike out at the corporation which has seized their world, with superpowers on their side, but things don’t exactly go as planned. Set in the world of Humility Lost, a few years before the start of the story.
Detective Cross specializes in protean crime, to the point where other proteans call on him to solve their own cases. However, one particular day, he’s called to an especially grizzly scene, and is thrust into a strange conspiracy involving foreign arms dealers, and unwitting slaughter. Set in the world of Humility Lost, a few months before the start of the story.
A 20th century monster hunter is pointed towards their next target-a cult that intends to further risk the destruction of the thin veil between the natural and unnatural. Though their methods are brutal and obtuse, perhaps it will be enough to preserve the small town they live in. Taking place in the world of Thaumaturgy.
A woman’s recollection of several encounters with a strange being which calls itself Hermes, and the fortunes they seem to bring her during their encounters, despite the consequences. Set in the world of Thaumaturgy.
Content Warning: This story contains allusion to sexual content that isn’t present in most of my other work. It’s not explicit, but it is worth mentioning.
A priest whose god no one recognizes arrives in a small town, after reports of a vampire roaming it’s lands escape it’s borders. His investigations lead him to various suspects, in search of the final revelation. Set in the world of Aulia.
A lone train passenger embarks on a long and boring journey across the midwest, with no clear destination and knowing too much. As they stare at the landscape, and speak to their fellow passengers, they paint a slowly evolving picture of their past 87 days of torment. Set in the world of Thamaturgy.
A trio of down on their luck ex convicts win the lucky break of their lives after a job gone wrong. However, all things come at a catch-and can these three tread the line between freeing themselves of the past, and submerging in it? Set in the world of Humility Lost.
A shell of a man moves through his life while trying to complete his magnum opus, a magical work the likes of which the world has never seen. Ignoring all caution, he pushes himself towards a final conclusion, without realizing he’s already failed. Set in the world of Thamaturgy.
