Summary
Doug and Alexa test the Spidey 005, a completely OC skell, in Oblivia. Then Doug decides to take it for a test run into the giant chasm, the Yawning Gap. This does not go as smoothly as he expected.
Skell geekery, swears, explosions, too many cliffhangers. Prompts are: things with 5+ limbs, black, indoors, group shot, round, pair, red, pair 2.0.
All the good things belong to Monolith Soft, but I built Spidey.

Summary
"Waiting for the day Lin removes the little Monado pins from her hair and proves disturbingly competent at using them like tiny versions of the weapon they were based on." Luxin tweeted this concept, and I had to write something.
Swears (shhhh, don't tell Elma). Poorly written fight scenes.
Absolutely all the good stuff belongs to Monolith Soft, although maybe not this.

Summary
Over on another site, there languishes an unfinished (possibly abandoned) story: "The Treasure of O'rrh Sim". Wolf, the scary trainer from the Missions Board, and Miss Duna Valdileo, the Prone with a thing for large humans, head to Cauldros to find some kind of spooky Prone treasure. First they have to get safely through Sylvalum. This is that bit.
Vague descriptions, slight swear, under edited (what else is new).
All the good things belong to Monolith Soft, and I am ashamed to say I have forgotten a lot of the enemies.
