FanFic - Aurae and Diomedes au Raa First Meet
2026/09/28
Lo Rusters! While Charles continues his campaign against the boiler we figured we would pause the chapter crawl until he can hop back on mic (which will be this week with chapter 19!). In the meantime we had on Indieartbox and Cicerostories for a little fanfic fun. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

MS - CH 16 - Paramour
2026/09/18
Lo Rusters! Darrow stumbles his first teacher and old friend Matteo while he and the Howlers seek Quicksilver. It is not a happy reunion, nor is it the last confused, unhappy, violent reunions for our hero and his friends. They do find their target but Reugulus ag Sun is not alone.

2026/09/14
Lo Rusters! Darrow and the Howlers are on the hunt for Quicksilver as they go through the silver tycoons headquarters. Slowly Darrow is realizing that Sevro's plans are not great and he has to do something and fast. If he doesn't, the Rising might be in a very bad way, very soon. But how does he manage the ego of his best friend and commanding officer?

2026/09/07
Lo Rusters! Darrow, Victra, and the Howlers head to the martian moon of Phobos to raise some Cain. The Goblin is planning to escalate shit by blowing shit up, maybe not the most well thought out strategy but one that will feel good. Can Darrow figure out a way to channel the blast in the right direction while not undermining his best friend?

MS - CH 12 - The Julii
2026/09/01
Lo Rusters! The spotlight shines brightly on Victra, rightfully so as she may well be the best damn character in the series. Darrow grapples with his own past mistakes, but he is going to trust her and hope she trusts him. At the very least he understands her motivation: revenge.

MS - CH 10 - War
2026/08/17
Lo Rusters! Darrow gets the lowdown on where the war is at, how the Sons are doing, and how the Society is countering. It's not great news for you guy but he takes it all in stride. That is until Sevro reveals one of his major countermoves, a betrayal of truth? Darrow needs a moment.

MS - CH 9 - The City of Tinos
2026/08/14
Lo Rusters! Chuck breaks down where he's been, what Rags and Sevro have been up to, and what the hell Tinos really is. The city of Ares is amazing but not beautiful.

2026/08/10
Lo Rusters! Darrow has made it out of the Jackal's clutches and is home, or at least surrounded by loved ones and safe. Maybe not in Lykos but the next best thing, Tinos. Darrow's mom and uncle and the old rogue Dancer all welcome their golden son back to the worlds. He gets a very truncated update on the war but decides that all can hold, he wants to spend some time with his family as simply Darrow.

MS - CH 6&7 - Victims & Bumblebees
2026/08/07
Lo Rusters! The boys are back and we dive right into Darrow's return. Chris covers two quick but important chapters here as we get Trigg's showdown with Aja and the Reaper's rescue. It's not a painless or cost free operation by any means. But, Sevro and Ragnar are finally back on the stage!
