Bullets Will Cost Ya – Angelverse Episode 10 (Part 1)

[I was going to be nice. Since I'm going to be unable to post any new Angelverse stories for a while, I figured I'd post this two-parter right before I left. And then I cleverly only finished part 1. So that's all you get. A cliffhanger. Proving that AV really does work just like a TV show.
A few interesting facts:

1. a large part of this story was written in the cafe where J.K. Rowling used to write

2. we get the first indicator of continuity between characters' plotlines

3. my dad came up with the title]

Spray Can Soul – Angelverse Episode 9

[ I got the idea for this story while listening to the songs "Hurts Like Heaven"by Coldplay and  "Girl In Byakkoya" by Susumu Hirasawa. The details of Ross's painting came to me while walking to my bag piping lesson one day. Just a fun fact there.  Ross cleverly hid his personal hero somewhere in his artwork; mega nerd points to the person who spots it!

EDIT: I made the reference far more casually than I remembered. Unless you know that MJOLNIR armor is sometimes described as iridescent, you're probably not going to find it. ]

Return: A Minnesotan Odyssey

[This story is not part of Angelverse. It's much older, written over a year ago for a class. During the semester, I'd written a series of stories about Odysseus's family: his wife Penelope, his son Telemachos, and his dog Argos (his father Laertes also appears in this story). I recently realized I'd never posted it, so here's one from the vaults, for old time's sake.]

Squares and Triangles – Angelverse Episode 8

[This episode is the fault of two people: Nonny, who read the first version and ensured it would never see the light of day, and Magga, who took one  statement I made about Tir and Altair and drew the conclusion that they were bros. So...bromance ensued.]

Thinking with Portals – Angelverse Episode 7

[This story isn't going to make much sense unless you've read Episode 1.  It's  longer than I would have liked, but getting characters from Kansas to Brazil in one story turned out to be harder than I thought. Especially with that detour through Dubai...]

An Angelverse Christmas

[Just a short, short story to amuse all the wonderful people who have helped me with my writing this past year. Not a proper episode, but still canon. We'll just call it the first ever Angelverse Christmas Special!]

All Else Is Nothing – Angelverse Episode 6

[I got the idea for this story last summer while listening to "Not Gonna Get Us" by t.A.T.u. After planning it for six months, I sat down and wrote it in one afternoon. ]

Where Angels Fear to Shop – Angelverse Episode 5

[Ace and Michael previously appeared in Episode 3. For an explanation of why Angelverse is now in episodes, see my latest author's note. For short story, this took far too long to write!]

Eagle Fall – Angelverse Episode 4

[This is the sequel to Phoenix Rise, so I'd recommend reading that story first. Also, "Altair" is the name of a star in the Summer Triangle. It  is a two-syllable name rhyming with "hair." The character in this story is NOT named for Altaïr (a three-syllable name) from Assassin's Creed, they just both got their names from the same star. It was an unfortunate accident.]

Magick – Angelverse Episode 3

[Introducing Michael and Ace, the central characters of the Angelverse stories. Don't worry, Ross from "Sleeping Beauty" and Vega from "Phoenix Rise" still have parts to play in the larger story, along with a lot of characters that hav'e been intorduced yet. I have my work cut out for me...

This story was inspired by the song "Magick" by Ryan Adams. Hear it here.]
