Story 8 is Up! The Big One! (& Future Plans)
Rejoice! Let the heralds cry! The DESTRUCTION OF ARSIYYAH, the big climax (if not quite the ending) of the Gordian cycle, is now available to download!
This is my spin on the central epic of the Ulster cycle, the Táin Bó Cúailnge, and is appropriately longer than the other stories here; 38 (and a bit) pages as opposed to the other longest entries being just under a dozen.
Mars is united against Gordios. Morgan stands alone against catastrophe. Kaya's choices catch up with her. Also, more cool special moves and motorised chariots and intricate descriptions of putting on armour than ever before!
(There will be two more stories in the series after this one.)

I also want to quickly mention that I am aware of the current situation with this site (among other websites and platforms), which is Not Great. I don't think this story is currently likely to be affected, as it's free, but it's not impossible in the future (it's hard to say when the descriptions are often kind of allusive). I'll certainly be moving up my plans to get my personal website in working order so I can host this story there; I'll put links from here to there when I do.

WOW! I Just spent my whole day reading this story non stop and it makes me crazy how good it is. Over all these stories you've made it so easy to grow attached to these characters more and more and you make there relationships really come to lifen especially here! The way kaya and morgan reached such lows only to end up allying with eachother. Shrike final action in this story. And of course I love the poem you did for wyrmstonen it felt like a fight song for a showa rider.
I just want you to know that the gordian cycle is one of my favorite things to read and I look forward to the stories that come next. Thank you for writing these. I love all the lesbianism and dog women and everything, truely such an amazing and indulgent story
I'm seriously so happy to hear that!! I really did just remove all limiters for what I wanna write and see and I'm glad other people wanted that too.
How d'you feel about this versus what you were predicting would happen with Kaya?
I'm super happy how it turned out. I was expecting the doomed yuri but seeing her escape those depths of despair and team up with morgan RULED! like kaya is my favorite of the main trio honestly. And this whole story was just so emotional. When kaya said "you were never my enemy" I nearly cried it was great. I knew you'd write something great no matter what I was expecting
Also cause I can't not see some rider man in shrike I just realized her going out like that was like rider man with that frickin nuke
