PART TWO. Napoleon had always awoken early. He just couldn’t stand the feeling of wasting time on sleep. When he’d been on campaign, he would sometimes wake just after midnight to pour over his maps or wake his aides to send missives. Now stuck, he still found himself waking early,…

Maxime was drowning in blood. It was in his mouth, his throat. The very smell made his eyes water and churned his stomach. He was trapped wherever he was, standing in a warm pool of blood that he couldn’t avoid getting into his mouth. He wanted to scream. But he…

Episode Twenty One – Dante in Hell. A/N: Specially formatted extra-long episode! Aspen Strong: Secret Agent: The Movie. This was such a terrible idea, Aspen thought to herself. She was barely floating along, using just enough of a propulsion to gently drift towards the Bastille, which loomed ever closer. The…

Maximilien was woken by a sharp pain to his neck. He jerked but couldn’t gather the strength to scramble away. He’d been unbound as his captor no longer considered him a threat. He’d had another three encounters with the terrible force-feeding tube and each one left him weak, trembling in…
