She/Her, ancient and crumbling (over 30), bisexual, sentimental fool. I am a writer, and thus I write words. Fanfic words. Original words. Website full of shit at zombarber.com Responsible for the most cultured dick jokes on the internet. Avatar art by @peachcott.
I think after I finish Fanatical, I'll have to toss up a fic to post all the flashback scenes in sequential order. I have a feeling there will be more than a few I don't actually use in Fanatical or that weren't used in Indefensible, plus there's a nice little stockpile of text exchanges that prob won't go anywhere else. If anything it could be neat to read them all in a row, if people were interested in that. Might be a nice little treat after I wrap everything up lol
(do not worry, Fanatical is just getting started, we aren't ending any time soon)

marcille, confronted with her best friend's skeleton: [etching an evil necromantic circle into the ground] the concepts of "right" and "wrong" were crafted by empires of men to shackle and puppet us

...because the Hades II technical test gave me brainrot. many thanks to @meggannn and @meredithalden for their invaluable betas (and by the way, meggannn wrote some Hades II fic also)!
Burnt Offering, 4.3K, gen with kissing, complete. Mel is autistic. family is a chain. sometimes the heroine is a child soldier and friendship is a murder quest with homoerotic seasoning.
The first time Nemesis swoops in with unwanted aid, Melinoë is three quarters through a brute-force exorcism. She sweeps it aside, missing both the goddess and the half-mad shade she has targeted for lustration. A dram of her precious power drains away.
“Nem,” she says, too furious to moderate her tone, “what do you think you’re doing?”
The thirteen times Nemesis invites herself on Mel's quest.
