The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

“Bring Hell From The Heavens, For The Throne Of Volk” -motto of the Volk First Royal Airborne as of M31.004... more>>

The Volk System is mired in conflict as embers from the Burning of Prospero make their way to its relative sanctuary. A humble standard bearer risks their life to accomplish an impossible task and is rewarded with lifetime service to the Crown of Volk and its soon-to-be wearer, one Freya Foxway.

While this is fanfiction for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer: the Horus Heresy (it’s a whole thing ask about it at your own risk), I like to think that prior knowledge of the universe is not required for full enjoyment. If you'd like to learn more about something I mention ask about it in the comments!

Note for Warhammer nerds: this fic does take place during the Horus Heresy, however, I have never read any of the books and I do not intend to. If I commit a lore crime, you are welcome to call me out, but note that I am not bound by the cannon. (For example: I will include female space marines. If you don’t like it then please keep that to yourself! Thanks!)

Ellie would not fail.
Geoff would not try.... more>>

High-achieving Ellie Gardner meets intentional slacker, Geoff Cobalt, throwing their previously steady life trajectories into chaos. Ellie is an adopted daughter of a midwestern crime family in dire straits, sent to Orange County, CA not only to get a college degree, but to make connections with another local emerging crime family, the Sinclairs. Geoff is the secret grandson (also adopted) of a legendary supervillain. Despite this, he prefers to eat junk food, light fires, steal, and play video games. Therefore, Ellie is recruited to keep his college studies on track in exchange for training from his grandfather. She needs to study, survive, and learn to budget both her money and time between her many obligations. She can't do it on her own. But when everyone is putting on a front (including herself), who can she trust?

And while they don't realize it, there are many hidden eyes on them.

"Ellie was on her own.
Geoff was on his own.

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

When Summer Nesbitt meets with Persephone Chase to give her DIY hormones, neither girl knows the other has a secret. Summer is a product of Dorley Hall who left after her first sponsorship ended in heartbreaking violence—and who knows that she’s the only thing standing between Persephone and its basement. And Persephone’s controlling uncle is the Marquess of Cainewood, who wants to shape her into the ideal heir to his “male” title—and a trans woman is not what he has in mind.... more>>

Can Summer avoid the temptation to manipulate Persephone like she was trained to do? Can Persephone protect Summer from the powerful man who thinks he owns her? And can a Dorley girl help a trans girl transition without revealing her secrets—and without her Sisters to help?

Based on "The Sisters of Dorley" and “Dorleypilled".

On impulse, he steps in to save the villain's life; and is taken under the villain's wing in response.

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand? Well they say Stands are a reflection of the shape of your soul given physical form. Like a persona, or a caricature of the User. Well Jordan's soul just so happens to take the shape of a demonic doll ghost that can do blood magic, of all things. Combined with these powers, JoJo and RoseGold go on a journey of self reflection that takes the shape of your typical Shonen. But this time with girls love and transfemme elements. This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly. All accompanied with mysteries, lies, and several high octane fight scenes. Ora Ora~!

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.

All Xiu Jianyu wants is the respect and appreciation of the governor of Guliang (the money and riches that come along with it are a nice extra touch!).

This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now. For the research cartographers and various elders of specific areas of expertise... Not me, specifically.

I'm just a TumbleTech.

The Tumbler is a magnificent little creation that essentially acts as storm debris at the very least, personalized rocket at most, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the kick behind the thrusters on a 360° rotation. Also, it can tow a two-ton wreckage comb like it’s nothing–those handy debris-collecting honey-comb-looking cages the Rovers use to scavenge for treasures of an ancient world. <<less

"In the bustling city of Lumina Prime on the planet of Primitia, a pod of humanity seeks sanctuary from a galactic rebellion, only to face a new threat - a demonic invasion. Led by the determined Lysandra, humans and neighboring civilizations unite to defeat the malevolent demon lord, banishing him from their world. But victory comes with a sinister twist - some demons remain, masquerading as impostors, consuming identities to infiltrate human society. Yes, there are literally sussy impostors among us.... more>>

Enter Vernadette, a vigilante driven by grief and fuelled by vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her parents to the demon horde, she roams the city's shadowed alleys as the Scarlet Serpent, determined to purge Lumina Prime of its demonic infestation. But her solitary crusade yields little progress, and as hope fades, she finds herself at a crossroads. She's literally just like me(Batman) fr.

Damien, a downtrodden mobster trapped in a downward spiral, stumbles upon Vernadette's path amidst the chaos of a demon assassination. Their fateful encounter ignites a spark of purpose in both souls - Vernadette, seeking a way to pierce the veil of darkness shrouding her city, and Damien, yearning for redemption in a life marred by regret and betrayal. He's literally just like me(Loser) fr.

Bound by circumstance, Vernadette and Damien form an uneasy alliance. With Lumina Prime teetering on the brink of chaos, Lysandra grapples with the looming threat of the Impostor Epidemic. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.

As Vernadette's relentless pursuit leads her closer to uncovering the truth behind the impostor epidemic, she must confront her own demons and reckon with the consequences of her actions. With Lumina Prime hanging on the edge of chaos, the looming threat of Jerma, the demon general turned renegade, casts a shadow over the city's fate. Can Vernadette and Damien unravel the sinister machinations of Jerma before it's too late, or will Lumina Prime succumb to the darkness that lurks within?"

Okay guys, that's the synopsis. Now, we ball.

Sussy Baka Impostor Amogus Jerma. I know, brain rot writing style before GTA 6 fr. But yeah, all this, inspired by the whole sussy wussy Jerma impostor. Not like, copying events like Among Us games and that, just the elements of "impostor amogus" and names like Jerma will be incorporated, but generally, it's a story of its own. Btw, the name Jerma is from Jerma, but in no way represents him. Jerma fiction here is different from Jerma real fr, it's just names that are similar not their personality. I'll be making YouTube videos explaining our thought process soon, just search "The Ordinary Observer" then look for Yapping Sessions. So yeah, tune in, and that video will go live once the first chapter is published! Also, my boy, Rob, incredible work, great characterization. Him and I are in charge of the characters and dialogue, T.O.O. handles the plot. For parts that are serious, fr, and ong, that's all Robert, everyone. Amazing work from my boy, actually. Made me tear up sometimes especially on the Maverick mom part which was really tragic, but enough of that, LET'S START THIS ALREADY DAMN! Now, I recommend that you turn off your brain and just enjoy the story we want to tell :D

Also, vices aren't cool and they are very bad for your health. Do NOT imitate the people smoking in the story, very bad. If you already have a nicotine addiction, I recommend you lessen until you stop. Also, any gory subjects and pushy issues, don't do that in real life. They're there only to intensify the story, an artistic choice, and to make a statement that we are not playing HAHAHAHA
