(A chubby!Patrick Stump X Vampire! Reader fic) 45 years later.... It was September 1, 2054, meaning that it was Joe Trohman's 65th birthday. Patrick was getting ready for his oldest friend's birthday party gala, about to step into the shower. The myth about vampires not being able to see their reflections was a thing of the past, for now they had a specially enhanced mirror that allowed him to see himself in it just as he was doing so.Patrick's true age too was 65, but the man who stared back at him in the mirror was not 65 years old. No, that man was 25 and had been so for the past 45 years. Of course, that 25 year didn't look exactly ...

The Popular Meritocracy of Alondra
1) Union of Alondra, 50 A.R.Well, here's something of a dystopia. This is the original era that a few of my OCs including a failed luchador wrestler to name one. It's more or less a fantasy type setting, complete with dwarves or elves but with sub-lightspeed space travel, aliens[1], the occasional horrendous civilizational collapse[2] and quite a bit of shiny high tech instead of the "standard" pseudo-medieval, or the increasingly popular IRL gaslamp fantasy type world.Alondra is a typical terraform colony world, with the usual bad government you see in late-stage civilizations. Alondra's location is an arm not that far off from the galaxy...

重复革命Mao Zedong once generally concluded that the Communist Party must fight for its survival every seven or eight years.[1] Deng Xiaoping spoke of killing 200,000 people to ensure 20 years stability.

The Guardians and Kommando - Mission 1 - Part 1
The Kitten and her Angel - Part 1 Sometimes things don't turn out exactly as one expected in one's life. The same could be said for Jemma Leigh Wark, Molly Drake's perpetually energetic and overly outgoing blonde friend. After the events of the Second Mob War she had gone to acting school in London in order to pursue her dream of becoming an renowned actress and to hopefully distract her mind from the PTSD she had received from the countless silent kills she accrued during the conflict as one of the best snipers within the Free Snoop Forces. Three years later, some performances in B-rated movies and minor roles in theatrical performances t...
