Found it

From JayDee on April 03, 2020 Part 3! Curiously chapter numbered part 2. Part one a prologue?Indeed it is. Well, no sex here but a little violence! I jumped when the hand smacking the door. Worked like a movie jump scare that. There was also a line I really liked “It screeched in a manner of a thing that dwelled in cold and dark being forced into warmth and light.” That’s good stuff that is! That was an impromptu thought I was gonna take it out but ended up leaving it in. The duel with Henry… well Harry wasn’t gonna lose was he? I guess it has some implications later? Funny thing, Harry gets used a nick name for Henrys, like that Prince Harry guy being a Henry. Is that a hint of a connection between them? Nice to see Harry not being a dick about it though. There’s always that feeling that James would have been. While, Harry can be a but of a dick. They’ve all been manhandled by a death eater dominated ministry of magic. Harry wants to be different from the ones who imprisoned them and make no mistake it is a prison. They’re sacrificial lambs and Harry is the only one who knows the true details of it. As part of the deal he made. At least kill it with fire still works. “Zombie has burning sensation after bondage game” possibly not quite the right headline.

actually, I can’t find that particular typo x.X

From JayDee on April 02, 2020 Part 2 – First comes the violence, then comes the sex! The unseen Bellatrix feels very much in character. Crazy. Violent. Hanging out in men’s restrooms and making things explode. Heck of a mental image on that poor janitor. Then again, he may have had it coming. Blowing brains everywhere does stop a zombie. Now with the guy from the tent – I think that is an OC? I don’t remember them as a character, while going with the name Argus in this setting gives me a mental image of Filch on his knees blowing Harry. Which actually works. Don’t tell the cat. Having shaken both that, and a many eyed Greek guy out of mind I found I could envisage Mr Valentine pretty well. Noticeably shorter wand… heh, I’ll never not see a double entendre in wand length comparisons. I’m sure many readers are the same. The BJ was hot! Harry a little nonplussed, on a rooftop, just getting drained like that is a fun image. Surprised it hasn’t proven more popular really! Muggletum Finivi Is a whenever upload definitely not dead. But I find Tarnished Lion and My original stories take up the most time. Its both a double entendre and very compliant with HP’s wandlore. His personality has something lacking. Sex scenes for me are personally the hardest to write.

From JayDee on April 01, 2020 Solid summary there. “Overrun by the unrelenting dead” – hopefully not a prophesy of the current world. Part 1 – Dawn of the Dead vibe, except with witch and wizard! I thought that bit near the start with the military falling back, the tide coming, the muggles still not going down without a fight was super evocative of zombie apocalypse fights. There’s a horde and Harry is lucky to be on the roof. I nailed what I was going for then I also really enjoyed trying them trying the different spells on mangled arm security guy and naturally Hermione finds something that works, but it feels very much like something that would work for a zombie – restrain ‘em! Fear of the unknown can make things scarier than what they are. Well considering what story it is. Finding what works is paramount. They’ll get better at it. I’ve also always appreciated a good “disarming” gag! Thanks A couple of broomsticks would presumably deal with that only-on-second-floor issue once the escalators are out, but if they don’t have them… Naturally disappointed that Erecto is for the tent rather than a cock…. Ok, ok, one dick joke here. At least I didn’t mention tent pegging. Wait. Shit. Any negatives… There’s a few typos I guess! Got ‘be’ for ‘before’ – with it being a while since you wrote it you might well spot ‘em reading through now. X.x I’ll look it over.

Can’t wait

Oh JayDee, talk dirty to me =p Your particular brand of chaos is quite enjoyable so I’ll leave it to your wild card imagination.

To be fair, I did review Social Distancing

It’s known well enough in D&D that powerful elves grow their houses instead of building them. They do this through a variety of means such as wood shaping and tree shepherding. There are two ways to do this. One they set up a foundation and a rough estimate of what they are looking for and then through elven craft warp the tree(s) around the the foundations and bam suddenly a house. Version two requires more potent elven craft but they plant a seed and will their home into being and the tree is the catalyst. Version three is entirely woodshaping and its mastery but essentially through ties, divets and other materials you can force a sapling to into growing into a certain direction and shape with magic easing the downtime of years into mere moments. Version 4. The house is more extra dimensional but the tree is essential the home.As long as no one directly inspects the tree its just a tree. Version 5. The home is its own stable sub dimension and the only way in is to interact with the tree in some manner. Version 6. There is no tree but the home is cloaked to look like one. Version 7. The tree is cloaked to look like a different mundane tree until entrance is allowed. Version 8 The tree itself is its own dimension. Now we got all that said. Depending on what your going for. First off the more natural description. You’re going to have to go for more natural looking shapes rather than the artificial geometries humanity uses. Play up on the lack of mortar. There’s no need when you can make the tree grow and merge its branches into a solid impermeable barrier. Or make the roots twist together into stairs. Ex: Greenleaf thimble-bottoms the third’s dwelling was not simply boorishly built it was grown over the course of years. Its terraces were painstakingly woven from its many branches. Indeed no artless violence of any kind was needed for such a distinguished dwelling. And no the dwarf is not allowed in nor is his axe allowed. Indeed, With the mastery of Greenleaf’s craft is such that the very living wood of the tree itself conformed to his will. The gentle slopes and precise measurements has enabled Greenleaf to craft with tender loving care his own accommodations. As he skillfully hollowed out the larger layers for this decadently luxurious experience while maintaining a healthy heartwood interior. Human: “Its a tree-house.” Dwarf: “Incoming!” – Suddenly the entire dwelling is aflame and Greenleaf unexpectedly homeless and everyone watches as his house burns down. Human: And this is why building is better than growing your house. As even the dullest dwarf is aware stone isn’t flammable

Considering she hunts the dregs of society. She’d probably have the possibility to earn a boon. She is a required part of the ecosystem. Now I got it in my head they should definitely meet.

I swear I wasn’t stealing your dialogue from the future! No, in all seriousness, the characters are different (a jorōgumo and a death god) but they share in that same bittersweet experience of loving someone you know you’ll outlive. That line of dialogue in particular is one I’ll be using in The Spider House, which is to be the formal introduction of Yua and Cody and how they became a couple. It’s what I’ll be working on after I finish the last chapter of WitS. Duncan and Yua would get along. Well at least until she figures out his ties to the underworld. Though I do see a funny moment when and if she ever asks his age and he tells her he’s 299,317 years older than her. Haha. That bittersweetness is related to why he incarnates and changes names.

You shouldn’t compare so much. Your stories are delightful and sweet and we’ll wait with patience for whatever you decide to give us <3

From InBrightestDay on March 20, 2020 Another story featuring a god and his Jotunn! There's an element of somewhat dark humor here. On the one hand, people are dying. On the other hand, well, Duncan basically just got called in to work on his day off (the struggle is real). It made me smile. Another thing I found funny was just the idea of Duncan reacting to Logan's "drink of the gods" line. The image of an actual deity blowing a raspberry is hilarious. Also... "I'm still sore from last night." Duncan's eyes slitted. "Did you enjoy it?" He asked. Logan nodded. "I did-" "Then walk it off." Duncan dismissed. Logan whined. Well, guess they do it pretty rough then. I mean, I guess between a god and a giant, that's bound to happen. "Did you have to throw the javelin so hard?" Is that what they're calling it these days? Duncan responded tersely. "Come now; I was holding back the last one I threw. It took the poor bastard one hundred and twenty years to die. His tomb lies at Brú na Bóinne!" Wait, was he talking about something else? This is the one part of the story I don't quite understand. What is Duncan referring to there, about the man and the javelin and whatnot? Duncan is speaking in Double Entendres. Aka Double meanings or an expression with two possible meanings. Sex and Sparring. Duncan is also giving up a name if you know your irish mythos. Finally, I'm very curious about the name he gave Logan. It obviously scared the crap out of him, which really makes me wonder. Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod (cue Princes of the Universe)? Kidding on that one, of course, but obviously Duncan's gone by many names, so I'd imagine he gave Logan a rather famous one. Or rather an infamous one. If you know your Prose Edda. Both names are massive spoilers but I will give a hint in the sentence after he warns Logan not to ask for another name. When you get them message me. And I’ll confirm or deny.

Review replies are in my review thread. Thank you for the prompt and I just might start fully fleshing out a full story rather than this small snippet.

From ANON - awesome!!! on March 17, 2020 thanks for doing this for my prompt! i liked it and i am curious about duncans other names but i can probably figure them out. Message me and I’ll confirm or point you in the right direction. But I will not give you the outright answer. Its better when you already have the answer like the clever things you all are
