Chapter 52: Summer of Affection
<><><>
August 13th, Samegawa Flood Plain, Late Afternoon
Summer vacation was a welcome change of pace for the Investigation Team. With the case on hold, no one had much reason to check in at Junes, and they were all busy with their own ventures...
Happy belated Thanksgiving. As a black friday deal, this story updated.

Inaba Chorus 3: Heartbeat, Heartbreak
July 27th, Junes, Electronics Dept., Evening
The blue-haired, blue-capped boy had passed by the large TV screen about a dozen times now. He stared at the blank screen for a few...
Naoto stayed and rode the bus to a private property just at the edge of town; surrounded by a beautiful forest ripe with green pines and leaves in the humid summertime. Just a brisk walk through the aged stone road, with a lesser known worn off path to the side to a secret base he had since...
Fate/Reach Out
Chapter 51: Butter-Fly
<><><>
The throne room turned into a warzone almost immediately. Blasts of elemental magic, mostly of fire and ice, hailed with reckless abandon. What tremors weren't caused by their destructive power came from overwhelming strikes of their opposition...
A little preview of what I've got ready before actually posting. I normally do this at spacebattles but thought I'd do it here regularly too for more engagement and stuff.

Rank 6 actually, just a newborn inferior Dead Apostle.
Also, sorry things have been slow. Been playing a lot of SMTVanilla lately, and might 100 percent it just to carry over some bonus items and super demons in Vengeance. Did get me some cool ideas for other stories but that's for another...
Well I only just started sharing it on here. As it's branched onto a bunch of other places to read (Spacebattles, Sufficient Velocity, Beast's Lair, Fanfiction) it's kinda divided up
Threadmarks: Chapter 50: Shadow of the Tragic Self
Chapter 50: Shadow of the Tragic Self
July 27th, Junes, Late Morning
The first day of summer was often a much more exciting part of life for young kids. To enjoy themselves by doing everything they wanted to do without sitting in a classroom. Even in a country town like Inaba, there were...
Saber isn’t gonna show up in Inaba. I had considered it but between her game-breaking stats and noble phantasm, there’s not much to bring her over aside from character moments. We still need drama and action for the cast after all.
Aaaaaand this thread is all caught up now! And it'll get the simul-post treatment with my other ports (Fanfiction, Beast's Lair, Sufficient Velocity, Spacebattles) when the next chapter is finished. Also I hope to have it wrap up the Vampire Satsuki arc within the next chapter or two.
Chapter 49: Wayward
July 25th, Yasogami High School, Classroom 2-A, Final period
There was a scare on the morning news when a fourth body was found on the telephone poles, aligning with the strange causes of the first two. And happening so soon after the third made people panic and gossip that...
Chapter 48: Hero
<><><>
Before the team could gather their bearings, Shadow Mitsuo surrounded itself in a casing of hard light. As it solidified and became defined, the image of a giant 3D retro-themed warrior with a helmet, cape and sash, and sword appeared. The warrior was moving in place in...
Threadmarks: Chapter 47: Shadow of the Hollowed Self
Chapter 47: Shadow of the Hollowed Self
July 17th, Afternoon, Junes Food Court
Shortly after Yosuke and Shirou bumped into Teddie, they reacted as best as they could. For Yosuke, that meant panicking as he interrogated Teddie on his presence, as well as deal with customers and staff asking...
Inaba Chorus: A Fortunate Encounter
You are Naoto Shirogane, the aspiring young detective with a legacy to follow.
You have solved many cases on your own already, earning a rather dubious epitaph, "The Detective Prince". You care not for rumors or titles, so you barely paid attention to such...
Chapter 46: Bleeding Hearts
This is it; she had realized. This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Taiga had never felt more alive until this moment. She had pushed herself to be stronger, as a dedicated kendoka, and did have her share of thrills from her grandfather's "business". But she had...
Threadmarks: Chapter 45: Shadow of the Mysterious Self
Chapter 45: Shadow of the Mysterious Self
For better or worse, the team was in a familiar area. Days of running around the open ground floor of the castle for training came to them quickly, and there was plenty of room to coordinate with each other.
However, they never had to fight a giant...
Chapter 44: Into the Void
July 16 – Junes Food Court
Yosuke arrived early at the food court, waiting for the others. It was agreed that they should avoid grouping up as much as possible after a few close calls with the police. It was raining non-stop now, and Shirou figured it would be a good...
Chapter 43: Reshuffling
July 12th, Moon Voidania, Ground Floor
"Again!"
Taiga stood over them, proud and strong. She was sweating from the brow, but it was only from exerting herself. It was nothing compared to the rather battered teens struggling to stay off the floor.
The first to rise up...
Chapter 42: Paradigm Shift
<><><>
Dojima Residence
"You told him we were all inside the TV?! What the hell were you thinking?!"
"Hey, I didn't know for sure, alright?" Kanji huffed defensively. "It's not like I was going to bring him inside, anyway."
"That's not the point!" Yosuke yelled...
Chapter 41: Ethical Effort
Philosophy was never a well-liked class in Yasogami. It was hard enough in the rest of the curriculum to study and research how to answer questions in topics like literature, history, and science. There was usually only one right answer to such questions. But not...
