Gift Post One: The Order of the Holy Mechanism

This one goes out to Jed, whose request for my 100th hit was "Medieval Cyberpunk" ===================================================           “Saint Augustine, Brother Marcel?” Jean's voice was soft and yet it still echoed in the bare tone hallways of the Monastery of St Illumine the Engineer.

Heard the skittering, the claws on metal, hissing voices speaking to each other and to me as if I could even understand, as if I wanted to. I...

Tamar and Raamiel

A mage, arrogant punk archmage kid, and his familiar/girlfriend. ===================================================== “Why was there a post-it note saying we're banned from Reggie's on my chest when I woke up?” “Because we're banned from Reggies, love. Duh.” “Me? Banned from somewhere? Lies. Give me the phone, I want to buy it and have them all like. Fired. Or killed. Or sold to African slavers.” “Honey they don't do that anymore and you deserved it.” “Filth and lies compounded. Defend you words, whore, and bring me juice. I have a...
