OW: ASA - CH 101 - To Feel The World's Warmth
A/N: AHHHHHHH I am so on time it's crazy!!! Go me!!! Maybe next week I'll be able to get a backlog >.<Chapter One Hundred OneTo Feel The World’s WarmthFall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 1I let the cool air of the courtyard take my attention as I sank down to the packed dirt. The chill was multiplied by the sweat beading on my skin. At some point, I’d taken off my sweater. Mimicking the faux instructor's movements was difficult without muscle memory. The little experience I had with Dame Arella was useless in this context. It was all ba...
OW: ASA - CH 100 - To See, To Repeat, To Learn
A/N: OMG!! Chapter 100!!! Look how far we've come!! I wasn't feeling well the past couple of days, and if you didn't see I put an update up in the comments of the last chapter. I think this is what I'll do from now on rather than making an update post and cluttering up the patreon feed. Anyway! ENJOY!!!Chapter One HundredTo See, To Repeat, To LearnFall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 1The four of them were lounging around the quadrant, spread out with plenty of space to themselves —even as two of them attempted to whisper across the di...
OW: ASA - CH 99 - Yet The Darkness Thrives
A/N: Hello hello!!! Look at me!! On time!! A whole 1 hour 29 minutes before midnight!!Chapter Ninety-NineYet The Darkness ThrivesFall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 1My eyesight grew dark, and the sounds of the class were muffled. It was as if their whispers were underwater, as if I couldn’t breathe without drowning.I could feel the lack of oxygen going to my head, and froze in place. It was as I glanced up —toward where there should have been a ceiling— that I was able to force a single thread of a thought through my mind.Bend, Nora. Do not brea...
OW: ASA - CH 98 - And So Too Does The Light Burn
A/N: What did we learn about Allora today? We learned she is terribleabout estimating the time it will take her to do literally anything lol. Please enjoy!!!!Chapter Ninety-EightAnd So To Does The Light BurnFall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 1“You don’t need to do all that.”At Klein’s voice, I froze, realizing how loudly I had been tapping my nails. Narrowing my eyes, I whipped my head to look at the squire seated across the carriage from me. The crimson-haired teenager had a pained expression on his face as if hewas the one offended by his wo...
Hello!!! Chapter Delay!!
In an effort to 1) not burn myself out, 2) maybe actually get some sleep, and 3) be more communicative with my writing process, I am gonna have to announce that I’m pushing back the chapter tonight. It’ll still come out tomorrow (it’s at about a 50% polished mark, so it’ll be the first thing I do after work).The past month I’ve finally gotten back into the creative groove, but with that is coming a lot of editing struggles. I’m pushing myself harder to write more, to reference and cross-reference and finish every side plot with a ne...
Announcement!!!
So, this is only tangentially related to Otherworldly but I would absolutely love for you to be updated on some other bits of my life 🥹This year, on top of finishing A Shade of Dawn and both A Burned Heart and A Fiery Descent (ABH #2, set to resume posting in May), I have two other projects in the works —and I am incapable of keeping anything to myself for long. Thus, I present you!!! Two covers!!Witcher, Warrior, Scholar, Spy This is a high fantasy novel that centers around the next generation of The Four Heroes of Exile, a group chosen b...
OW: ASA - CH 97 - The Early Bird Suffers Psychic Damage
A/N: Hellooooooo!! It is 12:17 AM, and I have given you a chapter!!! Praise me!!!! Also, it's nearly twice as long as a usual chapter. I usually aim for 2000 words, but by golly, I had a plot goal for the chapter!!! So it wound up at 3511!!!Next chapter is the official beginning of the academy arc!!!!-Chapter Ninety-SevenThe Early Bird Suffers Psychic DamageFall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 1My eyes pop open, and I find myself staring at the ceiling for a long, sleepy moment. Once again, I’m up before the suns. In elsewhere, I never bemoaned wa...

OW: ASA - CH 96.5 - Interlude 5 - Investment
A/N: Hello!!!! Be very proud of me, I braved the wintery conditions of my living room in order to edit this. Also, this was mostly written while I was burrowed under six feet of blankets during the Great Florida Freeze.Pls don't complain that it's short. The POV Character is my least favorite I've ever done and it was very taxing to write her.-Interlude 5InvestmentFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 1In the Duchy of Dawn, all was not right. And Countess Mallorica Dawn, the Duchess of Dawn, [Lady of Red Daybreak], did not know how to fix it....

OW: ASA - CH 96 - The Crime of Self-Determination
A/N: Happy Wednesday!!!! Please enjoy!!! Let me know your favorite fact about Maeve in the comments!!!Chapter Ninety-SixThe Crime of Self-DeterminationFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 8As I powered through the monster manuals, the morning slipped away, and the light filtering in through the window grew stronger. As I tucked the booklets from the Sword Academy back into my bag, my eyes focused on what else I’d brought with me: the vibrant red Arithmetic book and the blue History and Military Strategy book. I’d only packed what I’d need for Firs...
OW: ASA - CH 95 - To Live Is To Work
Chapter Ninety-FiveTo Live Is To WorkFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 8I slipped out of my room with [Silent as a Shadow], dulling the world around me. Noir was tucked in my bag with some of last night’s cookies and a half dozen booklets. I’d quickly done my hair up in two simple braids and changed from my nightdress into loose slacks and a flowing shirt. Around my shoulders was the jacket I’d made on my journey to Fellan.Despite my Skill running, I was still mindful of the dull thud of the soles of my boots as I snuck through the manor.Don’...

OW: ASA - CH 94 - Life Ebbs, Life Flows
A/N: thank you sososososososo much for your patience!!! Pls enjoy!!!Chapter Ninety-FourLife Ebbs, Life FlowFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7I stepped out of Twilight without further interruption. Raphael had long since left the entryway to the pillars, and Theo was nowhere to be found. Rather than risk running into the undesirable Eve, I chose to simply leave.I was full of fresh mana that I’d cultivated myself, cold to my bones in a way that sent a spring into my step, and I had a smile on my face. It was a small thing, but it was there. The over...
Sorry sorry!!!
As I announced two weeks ago, I had surgery and recovery has been rough. I thought one week was enough but alas.Anyway!!! Expect a chapter this Wednesday ♥️♥️ thanks for being patient!!!
No Updates This Week!!!
I’m have surgery today, so I won’t be up to writing or editing for this week!!!! It’s a pre-planned, non-emergent surgery, it’s just very invasive!!! So I won’t be able to do anything until I am discharged from the hospital!!
OW: ASA - CH 93 - Brother
A/N: Thank you for your patience during this Hurricane!! Please enjoy!!!Chapter Ninety-ThreeBrotherFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7I was right. As my eyes focused on the masculine facial structure, I knew. This would be annoying.“Ugh, this is supposed to be my day of rest,” Raphael complained, catching sight of me. “What are you doing here?”I huffed, remaining standing with my back pressed up against my pillar.“I imagine the same thing as you.” I gave a non-answer.Raphael tilted his head slightly and scrunched his nose.“No,” he dra...

OW: ASA - CH 92 - Scheduling A Life
Chapter Ninety-TwoScheduling A LifeFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7What followed was, simply put, a repeat of when I was handed the timetable for practicing my mana skills on the journey to Fellan. Only several times more complicated.“First, Third, and Fifth Day, you will have free time until 9:30 AM, at which point you will leave for the Fellan Swordsmanship Academy,” Gristle began, pulling out a folder.Within was contained several booklets and a sheet of paper with a list of names.“The Academy is split into two sessions. Practical and Theo...
OW: ASA - CH 91 - A Delightful Stew
A/N: THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER FOR THE $5 TIER.Chapter Ninety-OneA Delightful StewFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7I took a small sip, letting the flavors run over my tongue. It tasted like masala chai and had a deeper flavor that I couldn’t name, reminiscent of allspice. The whipped cream left a line above my lip, and I wiped it off carefully with a napkin, placing the cloth back down and folding it back into a triangle.“So, glassworks after this?” I hummed, taking another sip of the Mistlight Latte. As I picked it up, sparkles shimmered in t...
Chapter Postponed to 9/26
Sorry for the late notice!! I’ve been trying to get the chapter ready but I’ve had to prep for a hurricane and have been stewing on it all day. It should be ready by tomorrow afternoon!
OW: ASA - CH 90.5 - Interlude 4 - Investment
Interlude 4InvestmentTime Unknown“She called to me. I felt her Divinity pull me in.”The voice was soft yet full of grief. The woman who spoke had long, flowing straw-colored hair and skin as white as porcelain. Most notable was the woman’s eyes—white, through and through. Her pupils, iris, and sclera were one milky color. She was wearing a soft yellow tunic, cinched at the waist, and no shoes. The woman was tending to another’s wounds.“Who?” The man said, his voice pained as the woman dabbed at the deep gash on his wrist that was ...
OW: ASA - CH 90 - Mistlight Latte
A/N: Happy Wednesday!! Please enjoy <3Chapter NinetyMistlight LatteFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7We were several paces away from the entry steps to the church and I was surrounded by the knights and squires and maids.I clapped my hands —in a good mood despite being forced to be in the church.I was, admittedly, choosing to ignore the voice of a Goddess that had rang in my ears. I just had to not pray to Frill again. Easy. Next week, I’d pray to Morloch no matter the sermon. It’d be fine. And, now that I was actively away from a Priestess of...
OW: ASA - CH 89 - Warmth and Love
Chapter Eighty-NineWarmth and LoveFall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 7I watched in slow motion as the shock registered on Effy’s face. It began slowly, with her eyes widening. Then it was her hands. They froze mid-sip and caused her tea to jostle and splash out of the cup.“Did it—no, did Noir just speak?” Effy said breathlessly.I nodded lightly and took a sip of my Cloudgazer tea. It was fruity and too sweet, but I knew that would be the case beforehand, so I only huffed my disappointment a little.“Right now, he’ll only speak when I direct...
ABH - CH 24 - Epilogue - Divine Ransom
A/N: This is the second ABH this week and the FINAL installment of book 1, next up comes ABH Book 2: A Fiery Descent.EpilogueDivine RansomRise of Winter, Week 5, Day 4“No!” Tiltham growled, digging her nails into the ground and scooping out mounds of slushy dirt. She used such force that her nails broke and, when she hit stone, her skin ripped. Tiltham was ripping stones out of the ground and throwing them behind her without a care. And she was ignoring the soft blue [System Notice] that was attempting to call her attention. The woman was t...
