"I was expecting a tall powerful Goddess from another realm. Instead I got a cute coed from Toronto."
A trans girl living in denial has her entire life thrown into chaos when a summoning spell goes wrong, and she's left searching for answers and looking for acceptance - both from her family, and herself. And the only person she can turn to for help is the young woman who's first attempt at magic caused the whole problem to begin with!
Note: This story is told from two different points-of-view. Starting with chapter 1 the character narrating will be indicated in the chapter title.
Over the past several months, I have read this story three times. I think it is my favourite of PurpleCatgirls works judging by this fact alone.
It doesn't have the twists and turns of say, the Witches of Welland (Certainly not as f**ked up either) nor does it have the... hijinks of the demon series.
It's pure wish fufillment. And I love it.
This shared world has so much fascinating world building and the characters are diverse and well thought out, past the parents (Though parents are not usually a focus in their stories, often just a bigot to cut out of the story when the magic transition happens.)
I easily get caught up in the lives of Amy and Tess. They are both interest and compelling characters with their own quirks and problems and I love watching them through it.
One of my favourite tropes here is "Rising to the Station". I hate it when stories give the MC power then have them do nothing with it, but this doesn't happen here. It is so much fun watching Amy come into her own, as evident by this being a 3rd reread.
On the more technical side, I have some gripes, but they are all minor. The writing style I find a little dry, but not so much as to be boring. The style can be a little too informal. I loathe the use of "Boobs" being used outside of dialogue as an example. There are other cases but this is minor.I also think the story drags a bit in some places and there is on occasion issues with pay offs. Sometimes I felt like we were about to get into something good when we duck out and change scenes just as we get into it.
This is a great story, easily one of favourites from PurpleCatgirl. Their stories are compelling and unique. If you end up reading this and enjoying it, I highly recommend checking out their other work too. 4.5/5 for me.

One of the best gender bender wish fulfillment stories. Quite beautiful, in addition to an interesting plot, quite innovative in my opinion that makes it a wonderful story. The trans perspective is well addressed, in my opinion it perfectly describes how a trans person feels.

I can’t remember when I picked this story up, but I’ve been following this one, Club Luna, and all the little plush stories for a while now, and I’ve loved every second! This ending was an excellent way to bring Aka Amy to a close :3

A really cute love story with some fun mystery elements in the first book. Equal parts wholesome and lewd, it's a story sure to warm the heart.
