“It hurts. Realizin’ everythin’ you’ve been doin’ up ta now might’ve been for nothin’. Realizin’ ya can’t go back to the good old times. Realizin’ that you’ve fucked up hurts. It sucks, it’s embarrassin’—I know. But all you’re doin’ is throwin’ up temporary solutions ta this problem. Ya gotta own up to it, stop shruggin’ your shoulders, and try ta work somethin’ out.” Despite the burning in her eyes, she lifted her head and met his gaze. “So stop sayin’ there’s no hope, okay? It hurts when ya say that you’re givin’ up. ‘Cause you’re family ta me—no joke—Francis. So, let’s just try ta be better, aight?”

Cadence Morello, The Illusionary Six (Six Chances)

“All of you people just never change. Time, time again you live, fight, and die in vain. Don’t you realize it’s all just starting all over again? Another revolution is nearing its end. Different faces and different actors but the same ending. Don’t you want an end to that?” He unlatched himself from the table and approached the glass-ridden floor beneath the dome. “We’re all in a constant state of dynamic equilibrium. There’s movement but no change. We mirror the cycle of vitae and nature around us. It’s inevitable.” He held out his fingers to touch the rainwater dribbling down. “They say equilibrium is death, don’t they?”

Scorpio, The Fragmented Six (Six Chances)

[Theta] clenched his hand again, stepping back into a pool of blood that had formed on the ground from his injury. He sank down into its depths as it glowed pale tangerine and reappeared on top of Warehouse 12 from a gate he had placed there weeks ago. He stared down at them all from his new height in fury. “I’ve spent all of my lives trying to make it so that children who’ve been used and abandoned could have at least some chance at a hopeful future. All this time I’ve spent reading through all of the records, I’ve thought—even though I knew it wasn’t enough—that we’d made at least a little bit of a difference.” The winds howled around him as he tore open all of his gates with a snap of his wrist. “But how were things when I came to this era?!” He gripped his abdomen as it throbbed with phantom pain, and his voice cracked. “Children continue to suffer! Exploited for your petty wars, for your pocket change!” Memories clashed together in a cacophony in his mind. Memories of extending out a hand to pat the head of a small child huddling at the very corner of an alleyway. Memories of spending hours and hours pouring through articles detailing the casualties of the Reservoir War. The displaced, the murdered, the orphans, the uncounted. Memories of himself cowering beneath the rage of his father. Memories of taking to the streets to pickpocket alongside Cadence and Nico on an empty stomach as adults turned a blind eye. And all of these memories clashed with— —memories of himself extending a hand out to Matilda as he hired her to deliver conductor parts. Memories of signing off on a lease to convert buildings street orphans had used as home into warehouses to temporarily store shipped conductors. Memories of himself chuckling alongside one of his hired men who had served as a child soldier in the war. Watching as that man gleefully beat an adolescent within an inch of her life because she had stolen from them. Memories of him watching Matilda coercing her friends and the younger street children to follow on behind her in her shipping business. “They suffer and suffer and grow up only to cause more children to suffer!” He panted heavily, heaved. They had been right. They had been right from the very beginning. A senseless cycle. “And you…” Theta glowered down at all the cowering peacekeepers, at all the leaders of the criminal organizations. “You all just stand by and watch, acting like it can’t be helped, turning your eyes away because it’s easier!” He staggered forward, gritting his teeth. “You could’ve helped them! Saved them!” They all stared at him silently, wordlessly, looking at him as if he was some immovable object, as if he was the obstacle they needed to overcome instead of their own negligence and carelessness. Theta couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. What was even the point? Even if they helped the children now, the children had already suffered so much. And those children would simply transfer their suffering onto other children. Once it began, there was no stopping it. Over and over. In an endless cycle. He couldn’t take the failure any longer. They really had been right. He flicked his injured hand outwards, and an arc of red rained down on all those below. “There really is no hope.

✧ READ SIX CHANCES ✧

TDLR: 

A spoiled prince, a street-smart swindler, a cold-hearted soldier, a slightly crazed pirate, a bookish chieftain's daughter, and a revenge-seeking peacekeeper all nearly die at the same time and become psychically connected (through thoughts, feelings, memories) to each other

It’s a post-WWI science fantasy setting and the characters are from different countries/cultures, so shenanigans (found family, political tension, etc) ensue.

Has found family, conspiracies, mysteries, interesting magical science system, parallel plot lines that converge, morally gray/gay characters, lots of character development, zodiac signs

There's a lot more going on ofc but those are the basics. 

It’s gay, it’s free, characters are POC.

What other reason do you need to read? If you do need more reasons, check out my desperate rambling chaotic shitpost here.

Swindler » Six Chances [2/6]

[olivechance]

Come read “The Converging Six”, Part I of the free web-novel Six Chances by Elm Wynn!

Status: Completed Chapters: 38 Words: 135.000+ [Read Six Chances] “What would you do if your life, memories, and feelings were suddenly tied to another person?” Six people. One life.

A spoiled prince haunted by a ghost. A big city swindler with a knack for illusions. A cold soldier with a sharp eye. A pirate with a few screws loose. A chieftain’s bookish daughter with carefully bandaged hands. A peacekeeping agent with an eye for vengeance.

After simultaneously knocking on death’s door, these six find themselves psychically connected across national lines. Tensions rise between them and between their respective countries, which are recovering from a long war over the mysterious vitae—an energy source harvested and utilized in weapons and engines called conductors. Loyalty, memory, and sense of self blur as conspiracies encroach.

Assassination attempts, a border conflict, a missing peacekeeping agent, a bar shootout, a tale of a bloodthirsty beast, and the terrorist organization ELPIS.

—Everything is connected. Nothing is coincidental. The spark has ignited…!

Come read “The Illusionary Six”, Part II of the free web-novel Six Chances by Elm Wynn!

Status: Completed Chapters: 45 Words: 235.000+ [Read Six Chances] “What would you do if your life, memories, and feelings were suddenly tied to another person?” Six people. One life.

The Twin Cities is a place of duality where good coexists with evil. Cadence Morello is adept at this balancing act which is why she has taken to her psychic connection with a prince, a soldier, a mysterious pirate, a former chieftain’s daughter, and a peacekeeper quite well. It has almost been like a dream. However, in this city of illusion, reality cracks along the daydream. Love blurs into hate. Past into present. Selflessness into selfishness. Acceptance to vengeance.

The fragments appear: a reunion with a loved one, a locked cave murder mystery, underground negotations, a limitless bounty, a citywide war, encounters with True Conductors, and the reemergence of ELPIS. The illusion has shattered. It is time to face reality.

The bets have been set. The cards have been played. Now all that’s left is to watch the dominoes fall. The secret of ELPIS is finally revealed, and the truth lies close to the heart.

Admiration and dreams’re only mirages. The closer ya get, the more reality seeps in. ‘Course that doesn’t mean, ya shouldn’t go after ‘em. That’s what bein’ alive is all about.
