Bubblegum Collision and Bubblegum Collapse

Bubblegum Collision and its sequel Bubblegum Collapse were the first two pieces of fanfiction I ever wrote (not to mention the first of my writings of any sort that I dared show to anyone other than family and close friends). It seems like ages ago now... about seven years. My writing has improved quite a bit since then... but I'm including these largely for the sake of completeness.

In Collision, a bounty hunter by the moniker of "Starblade" attempts to take down the Knight Sabers. Her failure triggers a firestorm of events which will change the lives of everyone involved...

Collapse is a substantially darker story that was born out of some of the... naivete on my part in the conclusion of Collision. I have long been tempted to go back and rewrite the former story to come to a more reasonable conclusion, and the largest reason why I have not done so is because of Collapse. The events of Collision have passed, and all seems peaceful in the world of the Knight Sabers. However, not all is well, and the loose ends left untied in their seeming victory could well doom them all.
