‘Everyone prays for a miracle on the battlefield. No one notices when one happens.’ Too overwhelmed by the far greater atrocities, I think, but I keep the morose thought to myself. What is a little accelerated healing in the face of a battalion cut down? May as well raze a forest and wonder that no one notices a lone surviving dandelion.

Quote from Darkhaven on urban background ‘Hey Gabby!’ Samantha called. ‘Do you masturbate?’ The whole class fell silent. Awkward. That's high school for you.
How do you consume milo? You might think this is a simple hot/cold beverage question, but you would be incorrect. Milo in glass. Pour milk CAREFULLY. Drink off the milk. Eat the milo with a spoon. Stir the Milo into the hot/cold milk, the rest of you are maniacs Fuck the milk, just eat the Milo from the tin What happened to that chocolate-coated Milo bar, that was amazing

Text on the file excerpt reads: Name: Gabrielle Whitehall, Classification: subject, Known Associates: Jon Whitehall, Alex Whitehall, Keraun Thephyeu (?), Notes: Receptive to chocolate. Not transitioned. Text alongside the file excerpt reads: Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Adele Whitehall is 17, finishing high school, and has no idea what she's doing – but she's going to do it while snacking. Sassy, indecisive and passionate about... something. Will know it when she finds it. Secretly hopes magic is real, despite feeling rather that she’s supposed to have stopped believing by now. Never had a crush on a person before.

The chapel was suspiciously quiet. I pursed my lips and stared at the frayed end of the 'unchewable' leash, the over-turned water bucket and the wet paw prints disappearing back out the doorway. The doors themselves – solid, wooden affairs with inlaid stained glass – lay on trestles in the middle of the room, their rusted hinges in a pile on the floor. Even in the cool of the old chapel, the water evaporated quickly, erasing the trail before my eyes. I followed the marks before they vanished completely. Too late. By the time I reached the front door of the building, the prints were gone. The Filigree Key Operation Chocolate Overload Purple watercolour background with a chocolate sauce swirl
At first, some of the soldiers were suspicious, but most couldn’t believe that a woman could be so physically strong. And she wasn’t alone. Bischoff found Kadett Krenn washing her bloodied underwear in a hidden pool. They joked that in a war as bloody as this, of course it would be a little blood that would give them away. The Inheritance Experiment Operation: Chocolate Overload
She washed the blood off her hands and arms in the Holy Water font, discarded her clothes on the floor of the baptistry and donned one of the spare abbot robes hanging in a closet in the office. ‘Donovan’ was stitched into a label on the inside of the collar. It was as good a name as any. The Inheritance Experiment Operation: Chocolate Overload
A mockup of a Netflix page featuring Darkhaven "Operation: Chocolate Overload", which is actually a book, available in special chocolatey edition in ebook and hardcover on Backerkit until December 3!
Screenshot of a BackerKit poll. How do you eat a Malteser? This could get interesting. Comment if you have alternatives! Chew it. Savour the crunch. Mmmm. Suck it. Feel the chocolatey goodness coating your tongue. Nibble all the chocolate off, then eat the malt bit. Yes, really. Put it in your damn mouth and eat it. Wtf is wrong with you people. None of the above. See comments.

Old stained paper looking like a page from a classified file, laid over a thunderstorm background. Silhouette of a woman with bobbed hair wearing a tight shirt or singlet, military-type pants and work boots. Text on the file excerpt reads: Name: Esmerelda Donovan, Classification: rogue Eventer, Known Associates: Stephen May, Catherine Whittaker, Liam Croft, Notes: Dangerous. Do not approach. Text alongside the file excerpt reads: Esmerelda Bischoff Donovan is a 120-year-old (but looks mid-40s) superhuman ex-assassin with all the emotional fluidity of a glacier. She’s tough, blunt to the point of meanness and moves around like a tornado – noisy, menacing and ruthless. Proficient with blades, firearms and martial arts. Enjoys motorcyles, sports cars and ballroom dancing. But don’t be fooled – she has a kernel of care somewhere under all that ice.Probably you won’t get to see it until, oh, book five. Or six.

Old stained paper looking like a page from a classified file, laid over a thunderstorm background. Silhouette of a man with short hair wearing sunglasses, a t-shirt, trousers and sneakers. Text on the file excerpt reads: Name: Keraun Thephyeu, Classification: unknown entity, Known Associates: Gabrielle Whitehall (?), Notes: Calls himself 'god of lightning'. Does not exist in any database. Text alongside the file excerpt reads: Keraun Thephyeu is 19 or 20-something, depending on how you count the years he spent studying at a magical pilot academy in another time differential. Self-titled ‘God of Lightning’. (I probably don’t need to tell you that this is somewhat inaccurate.) Has a habit of showing up at awkward times and losing his shirt – entirely not on purpose. On a mission from… well, not God, but someone higher up than he is.
