    King and Country [Harry Potter AU | Albus Dumbledore | Historical/Military]

    Thanks to everyone who's read so far. Really appreciate the early reads and engagement. First chapters can be slow burns, so it means a lot when folks take the time. Exactly the core of it. The kind of control he develops, and how he views power, end up very different.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 1

    There were few things that could have made his situation worse, Albus Dumbledore thought as he turned down another narrow, soot-lined street in the heart of muggle London. Horse-drawn cabs jostled with omnibuses, and the stink of coal clung to everything: windowsills, jackets, skin. The city was...

    RIP The Only Thing to Fear (Is Fear Itself). Scrapped it. Rebuilding from its bones with less bloat, more emotion, and no cosmology. That's for my original work now.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Suffering from a lack of creativity and ability to write a competent villain? Just make the good-guys-but-specifically-not-the-hero-played-by-the-high-profile-actors-and-actresses suffer from actual brain damage to compensate.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Yep. The Force Awakens was derivative and a bit ham-fisted in terms of maybe being a bit too much of a rehash of A New Hope, but derivative doesn't necessarily mean bad. Given how much the prequels were memed on for how different they were to the original trilogy in terms of themes and looks, I...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    It depends on tech and tactics. Unshielded mechs are wasteful as armour units against any force that has anti-tank weapons, but could fill the niche of cavalry scout units if they're fast enough. Shielded mechs...depends on the strength of the shielding? Light or medium shielding could see them...
