Endless Pantheon: Manifest Disaster (Stargate/Dresden Files)

[Mamorien]

To celebrate the sixth anniversary of As N Approaches Infinity (BLEACH/Puella Magi Madoka Magica), Corisanna gives us a double dose of Significant Figures excitement! First, the beginning of a series of omake she just had to call Imaginary Numbers:

Then, literally just an hour later, the long-awaited Chapter 84/Kapitoll Dreiundachtzig, which I go now to read:

The Weaver Option. Worm/WH40k

And Taylor starts preparing for her next mission. And so do a lot of other people, providing the ingredients for an even bigger clusterf**k than last time.

Huh, looks like Scrimshaw's One Who Is Many (post-GM Worm/ASoIaF) was deemed too racy for SB, what with the Martell sisters being into skinship-verging-on-lewds and all. The thread has vanished, at any rate.

Relic of the Future (RWBY)
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12863738/14...the-Future

A Thing of Vikings (HTTYD) concluding Book 3
https://archiveofourown.org/works/104089...3#workskin

On the topic of the Red King, Mac Bethad mac Findlaích, the man is primarily notable in terms of the legacy he left behind, as opposed to his immediate actions. Even his apologists, of whom he has few, admit that their primary defense of the man is to plead ignorance and lack of awareness on his part of the possible outcomes of his deeds, for the facts are indisputable in how the Red King's legacy was, on the whole, a negative one. He fomented wars and mistrust, attempted to cripple and attack out of needless suspicion and fear, and many of his deeds directly led to an escalation of conflict.

One area of argument is the point that, if not for his actions, the Norse Reformation might not have happened, as he spread the seeds of conflict that began to sprout the year after his death, seeds from which the Norse Reformation sprang. However, even among those Norse adherents who subscribe to this viewpoint, the sore point remains in how much his behavior was antithetical to their faith's teachings. And his actions also helped accelerate Berk's territorial growth, by setting Harthacnut the Dane upon his perceived foe, as well as other such actions that stemmed from his time.

But, ultimately, he failed in his goals. Alba became an integral and important province of Berk's territory, and eventually became a core component of the North Sea Empire in the coming years. His family line ended with him, and his stepson never ruled. All the Red King arguably succeeded in doing, in the end, was adding to the casualty counts of the coming wars that he helped spark and escalate, and adding a morality lesson for parents and entertainers on the costs of baseless suspicion, and how such things can spiral into chaos and death.

Not just concluding Book III, it's the last ATOV of 2021! (CW: Explicit Character Death, Implied Act Of Murder)

We pick up in Constantinople, where Harald finds out who's escorting the absotively hugemongous dragon he saw approaching last time. In the chief's hut on Berk, the discussions between Heather and Toiréasa are going about as well as you'd expect. In the Alan capitol of Maghas, Drago meets the man who distracted his riders, coming out of the encounter with a new sense of what lies ahead. Back on Berk, the eggs are hatching, particularly the two sired by Toothless and the one laid by Fearless. On a trade ship crossing the Eirish Sea, Rodhlaug is fuming over how far she's fallen, but determined to rise again. On Ninguaria, in the Insulae Canariae, Viggo sees that what TTL!Pliny reported still holds true. In Berk's gaol, Heather begins questioning a very important prisoner. And we close on an island in the far north, where Valka and Cloudjumper attend a gathering of nest-lords that would make any walker SCREM...

Beware of Chicken has continued to get regular updates, though now reduced to "only" M-T-W-F. The QQ thread got a very well written, if very naughty, omake today as well, which I thought worthy of note if you're following it on one of the other sites. Threadmarks link so the smut is not right there to be picked up by text filters:

not necessarily, he said it _might_ take a year. 

I'm hoping it doesn't, a 9+ month hiatus has a tendency to kill stories, either from the author forgetting where they were trying to take the story,loss of interest, or their muse moving on to newer ideas.

Not actually part of the story, but the author has posted a description of the politics of the situation in Mother of Learning.

https://motheroflearninguniverse.wordpre...ia-part-1/

It's very interesting and the situation is . . . unstable. And likely to make Zach and Zorian's lives more interesting than they're likely to hope.
