Aden... Aden had an ugly childhood. It taught him how to fight and survive, taught him how to run and hide and cut ties. Taught him that he wasn't born right. It didn't teach him much else. So Aden ran.... more>>

Aden grew up. Discovered the world, and crossed an ocean. Made his life his own. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, he fought to be happy. Aden made do.

Until the aliens invaded his neighborhood.

What to do when you have a rifle in hand, and are damn good with it?
What to do when the rifle isn't enough, when the only way to save a girl and her mother from death, is to die himself?

Aden makes his choice, and is rewarded beyond his wildest dreams. Or perhaps...exactly to his wildest dreams.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Follow Aden as he alters his DNA with the power of Vanguard science to become what, and who, he wishes to be. Accompany Tinea as she greets the world and promptly explores new places, voluntarily or not. Watch as she meets new people; one in particular, one in terrible need of cuddles.

---------------------------------------------------

This work is set in the universe of RavensDagger's Stray Cat Strut, but it ISN'T necessary to read that first. I stay close to the canon, and develop my own characters.

Tinea and Leah was submitted by myself to compete in the April '23 SCS Fanfiction Contest. It took second place, a single vote behind the winner!

Though TnL started out as a fanfiction, it has since evolved to be something larger, something that could stand on its own, and it will only continue to grow.

Thank you for reading. :)

---------------------------------------------------

What to expect:

- gratuitous violence against unthinking aliens
- get points, buy gear
- cybernetic upgrades
- organic augmentations
- a perhaps more serious approach to transforming male -> female
- maturity from both female leads
- girls' love, from the soft and cuddly, to the (clearly marked) steamy and kinky explicit
- many, many chapters

In the not-so-glamorous outskirts of New Savannah, Seraphine Bloodfallen - part-time joytoy and full-time cynic - finds herself drafted into madness. When a particularly bad day at work ends in an alien invasion, Seraphine becomes a Samurai; Someone empowered by a benevolent alien race with the strength to oppose the alien invaders.... more>>

Follow Seraphine as she navigates her new life with more power and problems than she ever wanted. As it turns out, battling alien invaders with a ragtag band of misfit Samurai might just be the craziest job she’s ever had - and possibly the most fun. Who knew the apocalypse could be such a blast?
