A trans coming of age story set in an urban fantasy setting. Deals with international politics within the supernatural world. The sidhe, mages, Heaven, and Hell are a major parts of the story.

It is told from a leftist, primarily anarcho-communist perspective. Think Dresden Files with a dash of Fullmetal Alchemist, but it's queer. This story has plenty of feel-good moments, but this is not a fluffy story. Those familiar with the previously mentioned series can expect a similar tone to those.

RECURRING CONTENT WARNING: Abuse, anxiety, body horror, internalized transphobia/homophobia, dysphoria, violence, gore, death, duress, strong language (no slurs), non-explicit sexual content, torture mention, poor self-esteem, and bigotry. Each chapter has specific CW for that chapter, not all of which are on this list

Spoiler: The main character is not exclusively into women. I'm NOT going to remove the Girl's Love tag so don't ask me to.

Now Grete Mudwell, the youngest of a poor family of cockroaches, she must be strong in ways she never imagined she could be if she hopes to survive.

Theme: I was reincarnated into an X (Roach Girl)

In the best possible ways, this is for her. <<less

Long description:
Behind every strong man there is a strong… demon?

As a half-blood Apache by birth and a professional soldier by choice, Logan Proud Bear thought he had been through hell in his life. Until he actually ended up there. Stripped of his memory but still very much alive, he must survive the world of demons and the damned long enough to achieve the impossible: To escape from Hell itself.

His only hope of success is an alliance with a beautiful and unpredictable Succubus. Only she can help him stay alive- if her fierce, sexual hunger doesn’t kill him first.

Together, they must challenge an ancient injustice as they gather some of history’s strongest women into a force that will reshape Hell itself.

Welcome to a realm of dark desires. An underworld where myth is reality and sex is both sin and salvation. The battle for the afterlife begins now.

Tannel died young, yet his legacy as a mage remains unparalleled. A prodigy in the magic of machinery, his techniques have not been fully replicated three hundred years after his passing, and the creation of an artificial life has never been successfully attempted again. But the greatest of his deeds was one that cost him his life, a sacrifice that he made willingly to halt a catastrophe, though then he did not yet understand the true extent of the threat to the entire world.... more>>

Never did he expect that he would yet live again. Nor would he have wished for it, for the terrible price for his second chance was paid by his own family, who had taken on his mantle of sacrifice in his absence. Centuries have passed and the world is no longer as he once knew it. The body he now inhabits was someone else's, and even the nature of his own existence eludes his understanding. But what has not changed is the weight of his responsibilities.

But it is also his chance to tackle the threats that remain, that had forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, to solve the mysteries that he never had the time to unveil, but which nonetheless would not let him rest at peace. With ancient things on the move and numerous magics at work that evade his comprehension, these are challenges to his pride that can't be left unanswered.

Jules hadn’t expected the haunted house to be truly haunted. He also hadn’t expected the demon to take an interest in him, refusing to leave him be.
“…Wasn’t I only supposed to babysit my sister and her friends? How the hell did things go so wrong…?!”... more>>

Demon: “Are you even a real priest to begin with?”
Jules: “What do you think?”
Demon: “Hm, definitely not.”
Jules: “Oh?”
Demon: “I’ve never seen a priest as attractive as you before.”
“…” Jules pulled a ‘I’m so done with this shit’ kind of face.

Death isn’t always the end, and sometimes we mistake it for a short nap at the end of a very long, and very stressful day.... more>>

A frontier village was unnecessarily put to the sword. A father stoked the fires of war to punish an errant daughter, and perhaps set her straight, but as often happens when fire is applied in a measure too much: it can get rather out of hand.

Nobody was supposed to die that day… but the village burned all the same, and the woman she loved was among the dead! Enraged, and seized with inspiration, she became something new, something stronger, and she will have her revenge! <<less

Kazuhito is a 20 year old who leads an average life. But at night he seeks out urban legends to see whether they're real or... more>> not. What happens when he seeks out Hachishakusama, an 8 foot tall vampiric creature? <<less

What if on everyone’s birthday, they got a skill card encapsulating their past year? And what if it's [Resist Hunger] seven years in a row?... more>>

Renalia had dreamt of gaining new abilities and lifting her parents out of poverty with her new Deck. But none of her skill cards help the family peat harvesting business.

Her Deck interests others though, as the Baron recruits her into his entourage. In a bigger town, she finds ways to make money, aided by her Deck’s hidden ability to loot skill cards from monsters.

The money helps but she has to learn that it does not wipe away all debts nor buy the happiness that she wants. And it certainly does not deal with the increasing appearance of monsters.

 - Slow-burn coming-of-age story with decks of skill cards.
 - Very light game mechanics with skill cards. No stat boxes, experience points, health, stamina, etc.
 - Young and weak protagonist, but proactive and not whiny. Eventually strong.
 - Please note that this story is more focused on characterization, rather than the deckbuilding and LitRPG elements. The latter is so light that I'm not even tagging it as a 'LitRPG'.
- Contains tragic events. Not meant for kids even though the MC is a child.

Welcome to Club Sanctuary, a club that's different from other clubs. There are gods and immortals, creatures from myths and legends. You won't be able to find this club on the map but when you do manage to step in, it's a world of magic...... more>>

George, an immortal who works in Club Sanctuary wants to make amends to Ciel for badly hurting him by accident. But Ciel is too afraid of the intimidating man and generally avoids him. As circumstance and the people around them start pushing these two together, George slowly breaks the walls around Ciel. George may have started out with wanting Ciel's forgiveness... but now he's tempted to beg for his love.

Ciel never thought that the dangerous and blood-thirsty man he encountered fifty years ago would be the one to show him the world outside Club Sanctuary again and remind him of passion. He remembers the scorching look George once gave him and wonders if that's the reason he's afraid and avoiding that man... <<less

What would happen if our du- I mean, smartest and STRONGEST fairy were to be summoned to another world?

Through a twist of fate, author Paul Holmes has inherited an abandoned Shinto Temple on a mountain in rural japan. Seeking peace and quiet in which to work, he decides to travel there and check it out.... more>>

Unknownest to him the temple isn't all that abandoned. Creatures and Spirits out of Japanese mythology call it home and want to be left alone to live in peace.

Ever since Aster’s mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she’s little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead.... more>>

So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees.

She’s only been to the palace once, a memory she’s replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he’s cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of.

As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian’s new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it’s rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go.

With all the odds against her, winning over her begrudging fiancé and the rest of the peanut gallery seems next to impossible. But with the help of her unflappable maid Fina, a brutally blunt swindler, and the apprentice of the palace’s magical deviant, maybe Aster might just have a shot at her happily ever after.

The world is not without irony, as evident by my life. I was born Thurston Olaf Steenberg and grew up hating the Spellbinders and all... more>> that they stood for. I lived more than thirty-five years as a simple man. Had I been allowed to continue on that path I would have died an insignificant nobody who would not have gained so much as a footnote in the history of the world. It was only by becoming what I hated most that I was able to transcend my humble beginnings and do good in the world. The following is the story of my origins. It is not the story of my birth, but of my rebirth. It the story of how I became Aryanna Morgana Le Fey. <<less

Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. <<less

At first, nothing much changes in his day to day life, but soon strange incidents that even the kings of the underworld can't explain begin happening one after the other.

Will he be able to save one person without losing any others? Not even fate knows the answer.

An old soul starts yet another journey. This time, however, it seems like it might be a little farther from home than usual...... more>>

He’s been around pretty much since forever. Literally.

He had thought the cycle would last until the end of times.

It didn’t.

Now, he must face a new world he knows nothing of. A world full of wonders and terrifying mysteries, beyond the grasp of mortals. Fortunately, there happens to be some implausible magicks to help him along the way. Unfortunately, it seems like he can't quite get the hang of them... Also, despite being strangely familiar, the System may be a bit of a jerk.

***************************

This is a soft litrpg/Game-lit story!

The main character is no amoral monster, but he definitely leans closer to chaotic-neutral rather than good, i.e. if you're not okay with a selfish MC, the story might not be up to your liking.

While it's certainly not the main focus, there may occasionally be mentions of abuse, torture, rape, gore in general, etc. <<less

Gods and magic have returned. Titans walk the earth once more, and the fabric of society is fraying. The pantheons come together to air age-old disagreements, wage war, and make life miserable for everyone else.... more>>

Meanwhile, Alice doesn't know any of this. She's stuck in the newly transformed Alaskan wilderness, where things are more eager than ever to snack on her bone marrow. She must survive the dangers of a newly magical world with a cheap tent, fifteen bullets in an old pistol, a can of bear spray, a hatchet, a sleeping bag, a couple of spicy novels, and three days of rations.
All by herself.
Alone.
Or, as alone as one can get with the voice of an annoying, stuck up, homicidal womanizer stuck in her head.

Alice is doing just fine.
Just. Fine.

Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context.

I have posted this fiction on Royal Road as well, which is currently farther ahead. However, they should be parallel before long.

Royal Road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38761/falling

…

Author’s Note: Just to be clear ahead of time, I may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended.

Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point (and may simply be the conclusion).

This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of the narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses.

Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity or gore. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others.

Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different.

If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations.

I am marking sexual content, since what is defined as sexual content is rather unclear and open to interpretation.

I will not be including explicit sex scenes, but sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject.

Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist. <<less
