Witch of Chains Chapter 1

**This story sort of appeared out of nowhere and started consuming my brain space. I pretty much have to write it or it will drive me crazy. I'm going to be experimenting with shorter chapter lengths for this one for many reasons. 2k word goal each one. Hope you all enjoy it, this story will be rather dark to begin with... so buckle up!**

“Hey Tim, you broken anything yet?” I called out, waving to the AI driven robot that was currently throwing seed to the chickens. “Also, you have chook shit on your bot�...

College Steps Chapter 2

**Hello! Next chapter! More set up, more silly Anna, more cute Glade.... and an introduction to four more characters! Thank you so much for being my patrons!**

Dinner turned into an interrogation of my sexuality by the Aimee inquisition. Not really. She wanted to figure out who “my type” was, and was very determined to get to the bottom of what she saw as an intriguing mystery. She was nice about it though, and she stopped when I finally got a little fed up with it. I just had no idea who I was ...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 33

**And here we are! The last chapter in "Book One" of the story. I'll be writing a small interlude of two to three chapters from Taylor's perspective, but I'll leave off on diving into Book Two until it's had time to ripen in my mind. I hope you enjoyed this adventure, because I sure as hell did! Thank you everyone for supporting me through this, reading, patroning, commenting, favouriting etc, it's been so much fun.**

I leaned against Dawn, and through her, the wall, just basking in her presence. The feel of her...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 32

**AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.**

As we released April into our parent’s home, I quickly pulled Taylor back a little to whisper in her ear. “So I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I’ve caught her checking me out kinda blatantly in the past. I think she might be bi or possibly not at all as straight as she claimed. Just a um… a warning?”

“Good to know,” Taylor said thoughtfully, staring at the wide eyed April as she tiptoed into our living room.

I smiled and reached over, pullin...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 31

**Hello, feels incoming! Also REBELLION!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading, and being my patrons.**

“No May! If you’re going to have access to the world, you need to follow the law! Just because someone upsets you, doesn’t mean you can drop a shipping container on them!” Mum was yelling as Taylor and I entered the house.

I’d had to say goodbye to Dawn at the station, and it had been so damn hard to do. I felt like my heart had left with her when she got on the train that would take her home to her ho...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 30

**Booop <3**

Something about Dawn’s crazy confession that I was more important to her than being outed to the world had me grinning and strutting, so when we walked into class, I was doing more than a bit of that. I scanned my classmates at the entrance for a moment, trying to push my grin down into something less cocky, and turned to Dawn with the full force of it instead. She dipped her head and grinned back, meeting my eyes through her lashes. Oh girl, you tempt me.

How easy it would be to push her...

Falling Over Chapter 27

**I feel dizzy... weow! Any wayyy uh, cheers for reading. Cheers for being my lovely patrons. :)**

The planning session fell apart after that, and I ended up staying the night with Brook to keep her happy. I wasn’t sure I was helping though, it was probably hard for her to be happy and calm when the person indirectly responsible for her sadness was the one comforting her. Still, I tried my damn hardest, and she tried to keep me happy in turn. Either way, we made it into the next day, and I went ho...

Falling Over Chapter 26

**NGL I cried writing the end of this one. Really, really cried. It's hard. Mow. Thanks for reading, thanks for being my patrons.**

It was almost time to go to Brook’s place. I’d decided that since I didn’t actually get to show off the cool outfit that Diana… that Mum had picked out for me on Saturday, I was going to wear that to Brook’s place. She and Rosie would appreciate it, even if Maddy hadn’t even show up to appreciate it. I was also in my glowing form, because I secretly loved it whe...

Falling Over Chapter 25

 **More falling over! Apparently I'm going to do a falling over binge now. Thank you for being my readers and patrons!**

You know what sucks worse than being stood up on a date? Being stood up and then ghosted. I heard nothing from Maddy for all of Sunday, and when she didn’t show up to class on Monday either, I began to worry for her. Diana’s anger turned to concern when she saw she wasn’t in class, and she subtly put out a few questions to the other professors.

So when I heard, from Brook of all peop...

Falling Over Chapter 24

**So I did a thing for that College Steps chapter earlier where I made PDF and epub versions of the chapters, and then I thought... why not do that every time? So I will! Anyway, hope you enjoy, big important chapter! Thank you for being my readers and patrons!**

Diana had called me that night at Brook's, waking me up from a very cuddly sleep. She'd been worried, and the simple fact that she'd been worried had warmed my heart. She'd even come to pick me up from Brook's house, saying it was too late for me to be ...

College Steps Chapter 1

 **It's finally here! Took a lot of work to get this done. I ended up having to go pretty technical with my generation of the main character because she wasn't catching in my mind for a long time, but we got there in the end and she now has her own little voice in my head. As usual I'm not sure about the update schedule of this story, so I'm not going to promise anything... but you all know how I work by now ;). Thank you so much for being my patrons and this is hopefully the start of something amazing! I have attached an epub and a pdf...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 29

**Sorry for the long wait! Been sick and working on College Steps! It's going well too, really happy with the main character and the first chapter should be up pretty soon! Thank you for being my readers and patrons! It means a lot!**

We collectively tumbled through the door at some hour in the early morning. I didn’t know when, and I didn’t care in the slightest. I was in that weird state where you’re still drunk, but there’s a level of higher thinking that’s sprung loose from the drink and is operati...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 28

**So this has been a chapter that I've been wanting to write since the start of this story, and now it's finally here. Because I've been thinking about it non-stop, it ended up getting turned into something massive. I hope you like it. Also, I'll be taking a little break (I really do mean little, Tami is such a fun character to write and I don't think I can stay away from her for long). I'll be writing the first chapters of my patron only story, College Steps, and maybe some of Falling Over too. Any way, thanks for being my readers and patro...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 27

**Hello! Just a word of warning, I've turned off private DMs on discord, so if you try and message me and you get a blocked message, don't worry :). Anyway, enjoy the chapter! it's a big one! Sorry for the wait also, had to take a break for a bit there to preserver my sanity! Also, I have the first chapter for College Steps planned out, so that might happen sometime soon! Stay tuned and thank you for being my patrons!!**

I saw May three more times during the battle. She was happy to see me each time, and I was h...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 26

**Wew! Also, next chapter will be late as I am setting aside the next day or so to work on the new patron only story. Thank you for being my readers and patrons!**

My march towards the all you can beat buffet outside the temple was almost immediately interrupted in the antechamber of the temple. Interrupted by a series of mirrors.

Wow, I had changed so much, but also not at all. Rather, not much had changed, but what had changed, had a big impact on my looks. There were a grand total of two things...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 25

**Here we go! To ease your minds! Thank you for reading! Thank you sooooo much for being my patrons!**

I came instantly and jarringly back to consciousness after those weird error messages, to find myself in a little pillow fort. Well, it wasn’t that little, but it was the one that Taylor and I used to always make back when we were kids. We’d used to make it when one or both of us were upset, and then hide in it until we weren’t again.

I smiled, it was cozy in here. I was in my Tami body, as far as I...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 24

**WOW! ALRIGHT. YOu just, went and made things hit 300 huh? Guess I gotta start that new story now huh? ;). Seriously though, thank you everyone! I'll begin chapter one of College Steps as soon as possible! Very excited for this story! Thank you everyone so much for reading and being my patrons!**

My night sucked. I mean, I got to cuddle up with Rora in her bedroll, sure. I loved it, it was amazing to just hold her and kiss her lazily, although we didn’t go further because we were in a room with Rusti...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 23

 **Cutenesssssssssss. BOOM! Thanks for reading and being my patrons!**

“So like, am I your girlfriend?” I asked with a giddy laugh.

“Yeah I guess, but we only do stuff in the game,” Rora said, looking a little red in the cheeks. She was so cute.

“Sweet,” I grinned, continuing to stretch myself as we walked.

I was wearing my full battle outfit now, minus the helmet, because I didn’t want to die. Everyone knows that the people without helmets are the ones most likely to live. That’s just bas...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 22

**Biiiig things happening, but what will happen when they realise each other's secrets? Thanks for reading, and thanks for being my patrons!**

Rora teased me all the way through breakfast, provided by our wonderful hosts, and all the way to the market.

“So, what’s sleeping beauty so interested in at the market?” she smirked from beside me, her small height advantage giving her teasing just that little extra edge.

“I don’t know! I have that gold and silver burning a hole in my pocket and I w...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 21

**Wew! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Thanks for reading and being my patrons! I have updated my goal to include the fact that I will be starting a new patron only story once it is reached! You can find out more in the discord channel #college-steps-by-valerie!**

We’d managed to fight our way through the corridors to where Rora said there was a courtyard, but now we had to open the door in front of us and step out into who knows what. I looked up at Rora, searching her beautiful angular face for some hint that she h...

Falling Over Chapter 23

**I KNOW. IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I MENTIONED "UNKNOWN" I'M SORRY. I never knew when to bring her into the story, since she's like, an absolutely integral character to the Kammiverse... well here she is. Doing her thang. Thanks for reading! Thanks for being my wonderful patrons!**

**Unknown**

I tumbled through the multifaceted shard that represented the doorway to a reality, and crashed down onto a smooth wooden surface. Feeling my form become whole and defined again overwhelmed my senses for a moment, and...

Falling Over Chapter 22

**WARNING, THIS IS NOT TROUBLE. Anyway, thanks for reading!!! Bit of a surprise, I know. Cheers for being patrons! You make this all possible!**

When I got home that night, Diana was waiting for me in the kitchen looking pensive and holding a cup of tea. She looked kinda cool like that. Stoic, but with an undercurrent of feeling and emotion that made you want to trust her despite yourself. She was a good person, if a bit frosty on the outside. Oooh, like a marshmallow. Wait, that makes no sense. Nevermind. ...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 20

**WHoa, what a chapter! Is it hot in here? Anyway, have fuuuunnnn ;). Thank you for patroning me!**

They bound my hands and feet, and from what I could tell, they carried me into Tieille City through a side gate or something. I wasn’t sure, all I knew was that the sounds and smells of the city eventually enveloped me for a few minutes before they were muted by our passage into a building. I was placed down onto cold stone and left there, my captors mentioning something about a meeting they had to rush off to.<...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 19

 **Next one will come out asap, but I need to draw a map of the game world before then! Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope you... enjoy? Thank you all also for being my patrons, you wonderful wonderful people!**

We might have made it to the capital by nightfall if it hadn't been for our pursuers. Somehow, a group of them had gotten ahead of us, and it was only through blind luck that we spotted them first. As such, we’d had to go wide around them, making a huge detour through the forest and putting the city out o...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 18

**Went of script with this chapter a bit, but it turned out to be pretty funny! Hope you like it, and thanks for reading and being my patrons!!**

“Um… well you remember all those things you killed? They dropped a ton of Air Essence, so I went back and collected it! The Essence, like, Air essence I mean, is part of what you need for explosives right? So like, I just put… well I made it explode,” Chiri explained excitedly to me as chunks of meat and stone continued to rain down around us.

“Wow, oka...

 **HELLO. THANK YOU FOR READING!!! Also, hello to my new patrons! If you haven't please screenshot the automatic thank you message and send it to me on discord if you want the "Patron of Valerie" role in discord!**

After I’d decided on the black market path, Dad contacted his people and ordered the parts we’d need to modify a pod. Mum’s stipulation that I stay at theirs during the transition turned out to be a bit bigger than I’d thought. I wouldn’t be using my own pod, I’d be using the enormous military pod th...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 15

**I hope you enjoy the chapter! Thank you everyone for being my Patrons!**

I was bone tired and looking forward to escaping my reality when I finally opened the door to my apartment. It was worrying how fast my mood had plummeted once I was away from Dawn and her uplifting company. The problem was that everything reminded me of what I was... and what I was not. From the bro nods that other male students gave me, to the more subtle ways that people reacted to me.

At least in the comfort of my own apartment ...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 14

**I wrote this real quick so you all wouldn't have to suffer so bad! Thank you for reading and being my patrons! <3**

Waking up was difficult, or rather, being awake was difficult. I'd had a fairly nonsensical dream about Rora and I walking through the nearby park together and my body had kept switching back and forth between my Terry one and my Tami one. She hadn't seemed to notice. It was odd and left me feeling uneasy and apprehensive for the day.

Regardless, when I woke up and found myself very much...
