Comfort and Loss Epilogue (Balto x Dixie)

Epilogue: Pet Names and Farewells. Bliss… A state of perfect happiness or absolute joy. Nowadays people tend to use this word rather loosely, though few have ever actually experienced it for themselves. Balto was one of those special few. The day had been exhausting, both physically and emotionally, but at long last night had fallen over the sleepy little town and all of its citizens were, in one way or another, beginning to ready themselves for a well-deserved rest. In the kitchen of his beloved Ms. Dorothy, the noble wolfdog sat in blissful silence as he watched his children sleep in their little bassinet. They had worn themselves out playing with their Uncle Boris, so the trio had elected to go to bed almost immediately after dinner; with the exception of Petunia who had elected to go after seconds. At any rate, his three perfect little angels were now all fast asleep, each in their own unique way. Trixie was laying on her side with her limbs sprawled out in front of her; much

Comfort and Loss Chapter 4 (Balto x Dixie)

Chapter 4: Full Disclosure. Awkward… Awkward did not even begin to describe the complete and total unease of this situation. Out of everything that had ever happened to him in his entire life, with the possible exception of nearly dying in a snowstorm, Balto could not, for the life of him, imagine a more unpleasant and potentially disastrous scenario than the one he was presently facing. His daughter, his youngest daughter, his sweet little Petunia, had apparently walked in on him just as he was relieving himself of the massive ball of grief and emotional turmoil that had been building up inside of him for far too long. Oh… the things he had said. How long had she been listening? How much had she heard? How much had she understood? So many questions, and the handsome half-blood suspected he wasn't going to like the answers. For what felt like an eternity, the two dogs just stood there, staring into each other's eyes. The older canine looking quite distraught while the younger's

Comfort and Loss Chapter 3 (Balto x Dixie)

Chapter 3: Graveside Closure. The Bone Yard… Final resting place of all Nome's non-human citizens. This was not its proper name of course, the humans in their infinity wisdom had long ago chosen to dub this hallowed patch of earth the 'Nome Pet Cemetery', but to the local canine community such a title was much too bland to describe the burial ground of their fallen friends and family members, so they called the Bone Yard. Perhaps not the most respectful of monikers, but it was one that satisfied the majority of the native pooch population and in the end that was all that really mattered. At any rate, the Bone Yard, or Pet Cemetery, whichever you prefer, was in actuality just a small clearing about four or five miles to the east of town. For reasons none of the four-legged set fully understood the humans were strangely adamant about not sharing their graveyard with other species, so shortly after the town was founded, they setup this little plot just for them. It was fairly small

Comfort and Loss Chapter 2 (Balto x Dixie)

Chapter 2: Looking Forward and Looking Back. Full… Such a peculiar word, don't you think? Only four letters and yet it has such a multitude of meanings. For example, one definition refers to a state of being in which something that was once empty or hollow suddenly becomes filled to capacity. Humans, and certain types of animals like dogs or cats, sometimes use this word to describe the condition of certain parts of their anatomy; almost always referring to either the stomach, the heart or the brain. In the case of the mate of a certain local hero, two of these three sayings presently applied. No one ever accused Dixie of having a full head, unless of course the word full was accompanied by either 'of rocks' or 'of air', but she had long since made a habit of not letting such things trouble her; especially on days like this one, when her heart and, if only for the moment, her stomach were so wonderfully full. The sound of his strong masculine heart beating against her ear, the

Comfort and Loss Chapter 1 (Balto x Dixie)

Chapter 1: Morning Routines. Warmth… That was always the first thing to return whenever sleep released its grip on his senses. Whether it was from the embers in the fireplace beside his bed or the breath of the dog he chose to share it with, the warmth was always the first thing he noticed. Not that this was problem. In fact, he couldn't imagine a more pleasant thing to wake up to in the morning. Usually by the time the warmth reached his bones his other senses would start to kick in. First his ears would be treated to the melodious sound of the local loons accompanied by the oh-so adorable snoring of his bedmate. Next his nose would start to twitch, stimulated either by the greasy aroma of meat cooking in the kitchen or by the flowery sweet scent of perfumed fur. Sometime after that his eyes would open and then his day would begin. This was the typical morning routine for Balto and today was no exception. As the last lingering vestiges of sleep finally faded from his body, the

Invincible Season 2 Theories

5 min read

WARNING! This journal entry contains spoilers for the Invincible comics and possible spoilers for the upcoming season of the Amazon Prime series by the same name. If you don’t want to be spoiled for either, take my advice and don’t read anything below this opening paragraph. However, if you have read the comics and/or don’t care about spoilers, feel free to read on, but just remember that you were given fair warning. One thing that’s already been confirmed for Season 2 is the introduction of Mark’s archnemesis from the comics, the incomparable Angstrom Levy. Just how much of Angstrom’s story they’ll tell in Season 2 remains to be seen, but at the very least they should go into his origin and hopefully his first major fight with Invincible. Based on how Season 1 ended, I can see Angstrom using his dimensional hopping powers to bust the Mauler Twins out of jail and recruiting them to help with his master plan; to use their technology to copy the minds of several thousand versions

The Secret Saturdays AU Part 4

21 min read

Previous: 40. Age of the Serpents (Part 1) It has been roughly six months since Kur’s defeat in Antarctica and the Saturdays’ world has been turned upside down. Cryptid related incidents around the globe are at an all-time high and to make matters worse, the Secret Scientist Community has called an emergency summit in New York City to discuss what’s to be done about Zak and his connection to Kur. Doc attends the Summit alone, and while he has strong support from the likes of Dr. Beeman and Dr. Grey, he also has strong opposition from Doctors Peter Lawhorn and Sally Green, the Secret Scientists’ Pathology and Probability Experts, who propose putting Zak in cryogenic stasis until a more permanent solution can be found. When the vote comes to a deadlock, Agent Epsilon arrives as an impartial third party and offers an alternate solution; turning Zak over to the Organization to be trained in a controlled environment. Elsewhere, Doyle and Zon investigate rumors that Argost is still alive
