Piranha - Chapter Fifteen, Part 1

PIRANHA Chapter 15: Besieged, Part 1 Why didn’t you tell me Why didn’t you speak Why di—Did you know? Did you know? What ... else did you know. Why did you leave Me to wonder Wonder To seek, and seek, never to be sureYou could have You could have let meI could have helped you I couldI could have tried oh, gods why Piranha sat up, breaking through the warm sheet of fresh snow into biting air. He knew. He would never have told me.Bastard. He got to his feet, absently dusting a little white powder from his black garments. Air like ice talons clawed down his throat, straining for his last bit of warm core; was e...

Piranha - Chapter Fourteen, Part 5c

PIRANHA Chapter 14 – The Black Hole, Part 5c: Clattering through the dark, segmented metal corridor linking the two ships, Piranha could sense, from the other side of the metal partition separating his small passageway from the huge one to which it was attached, a low vibration, the sheer weight of so many hundreds of trudging feet – slaves still being transferred to the Black Hole. That wasn’t helping to settle the anxious flutter in his chest. He wouldn’t calm down until he was back on the Insurrection . It wasn’t just the irrational but urgent sense that he had to race home – “home,” gods! – before the ships undocked. ...

Piranha - Chapter Fourteen, Part 5b

The penultimate part of this section and chapter. That will be the end of Chapter 14, “The Black Hole,” – though these chapters are long enough that they might as well be called “books.” Since by this point it’s likely not that obvious, I should state that this is part of a fanfiction ultimately based around the character Rayman, belonging to Ubisoft and invented by Michel Ancel. Not the current incarnation of the character, but the guy from the first game, “Rayman,” and to a greater extent the game “Rayman 2: The Great Escape.” (Except that you can imagine him with something closer to actual hair.) That character came across as quite a...

Piranha - Chapter Fourteen, Part 5a

PIRANHA Chapter 14: The Black Hole, Part 5a Piranha opened his eyes. Then closed them again.After a moment, he opened them once more. Nausea swirled the dingy, ashy greyness around him.After another wait, he sat up. Gingerly. Maneuvered himself to the edge of the bed. Remained there motionless.It was day. The lights were on. Much too on.He was going to have to move. He prepared himself.It didn’t matter. He hadn’t — NO — He did not bury his face in his hands. After a moment, he stood up. Step by weighted step he moved into the bathroom.Out of the shower, dredging his face in a towel, he stopped moving. Then, grimly, started ...

Piranha - Chapter 14, Part 4c

Finally managed to get my head functional enough to cobble together another chapter. With many, many, many thanks to :devMewitti:, who helped me revive and keep going - and who also contributed that magnificent cover. (I feel like it sums up the chapter so well you probably don’t need to wade through all my words, unless you enjoy that kind of masochism.) *** PIRANHA Chapter 14: The Black Hole, Part 4c: The preparations on the stage were rapid, surprisingly organized, and alarming. Dozens of small repair robots and muscular slaves had swarmed out like an army of ants at a fallen sandwich, and with much screeching of power tools were ra...

Literature

Piranha - Chapter 14, Part 4b

PIRANHA Chapter 14: The Black Hole, Part 4b: While living cargo was being offloaded in the front part of the bottom level, in the rear an immense auditorium had been put together, where most of the Insurrection’s population had gathered for the show. The metal wall separating the two events was so thick and solid that even with less noise going on in the auditorium, no one would ever have heard a sound from the vast room on the other side. There was no direct way to get from one to the other, and in order to reach the back part of the intake level, Piranha had had to climb back up the stairs to take an elevator from two levels above. T...

PIRANHA Chapter 14: The Black Hole, Part 4a: As Piranha prepared to leave for the "celebration," Vee hovered around him eagerly, taking hold of his shirt, vest, coat as Piranha took them off, brushing them, laying them out on the bed, even snatching the hat off his head. Startled, Piranha jumped back. Vee came after him and, pulling out a tiny, curved knife, grabbed for his head.Piranha seized him by the wrist, forcing the knife out of his hand. "What the hell is going on with you?""Sir! I was just going to trim your hair!" As he clutched at Piranha's fierce clench on his wrist, Vee blushed realizing belatedly that to Piranha it ...

PIRANHA Chapter Fourteen: The Black Hole, Part 3: Dugong? Schoolboy? Did that arrogant oil pan have the slightest clue what he was dealing with? Who he was dealing with? Thousands of years a pirate, eh? How about being the guardian of a planet for Piranha stormed into the stairwell, surging so hard against the heavy metal door that it slammed thunderously against the wall, reverberating up and down the dark metal stairwell like an avalanche. Then it swung back, closing out the light and sound of the ship, sealing him into a dim, hermitic stillness.Finally, he could take a deep breath. Alone.But he wasnt. On the landing abo...

Piranha - Chapter 12: Quest, Part 3

PIRANHA Chapter 12: Quest, Part 3 Hurrying through the hall, he was gasping, permeated with a horror he could scarcely comprehend. That crazy old man’s ravings... like being dropped down a bottomless hole, and he was still falling. “You think because you hate him he don’t own you?” Tears were gathering behind his eyes, a huge weight of tears, seeping into him from nowhere, threatening to fill and shatter him the way freezing water will explode its glass container.And he halted, so furious he could hardly see what was in front of him. Tears. Yes, a pitiable figure he was, weeping while he tore villages apart.Being a pirate. The ab...

I don't know how active you are nowadays, but I wanted to say I absolutely adore your work and have been inspired by it to make fanart. I hope you are well.

I have a certain scene from Piranha stuck in my head...or rather I keep getting a certain song stuck in my head that reminds me of it, so I plan on drawing that (if you don't mind.) I'm writing this here in the hopes it will force me to do it.

You don't seem to be about lately, but I did notice that you were a RayLy shipper, so may I slide this author recommendation across to you? In search of light on Tumblr
