*I'll try to upload a few chapters every week, and the word count will normally sit around 1500 or more per chapter.
This is my first fiction so it may start out a bit rough, but I will work towards improving this story as more and more chapters are posted. You can help me do this by pointing out anything that could use improvement in the comments, thanks*

**While this story is written in a lighthearted manner, the content warnings are there for a reason. There is some fluff, but there are some VERY descriptive scenes of violence, as well as other things that are not suited to everyone. In chapters where this appears, I will put a warning at the start, but these chapters do contain some plot.** <<less

10th Mountain Division, one of three Canto Empire's military divisions known as the Rangers, is an elite unit that chose selectively from the 2nd Legion's infantry. And it was the consensus that out of the three divisions of Rangers, 10th Mountain was the best; every single one of their soldiers was fearless. ... more>>

And for a good reason, the Ranger motto was 'these things we do, so that others may live,' and every single one of their members took that seriously; in whatever major battle, they could be seen on the frontlines leading the charge.

This led to the infamous joke that a Ranger's life could be measured in minutes; the average squad had a 68% fatality rate in their first year.

An officer strode along the line of Rangers, his white square patch on his shoulder standing out on the black uniforms, identifying him as a captain. "Ready ! Ready!" the veins on the officer's neck stood up taut like whipcords as he screamed at the top of his lungs. 

Gyun's leg twitched in anticipation before he nodded to the captain; looking back at his squad; he tapped his helmet. "Check, check," pointing at the ropes attached to their waist; the ropes led to a nail that was driven into the ground.

"Check"
"Check"
"Check"

As all 9 of his squad members affirmed their equipment one last time, Gyun took a deep breath; feeling his sword, he took a step, peering down the cliff face i to the Aegean Fortress below; it couldn't have been less than a 200-meter drop straight down to the ground outside the wall. 

Swallowing the fear in his throat, he stepped back, feeling his sword at his hip he gripped the handle tight. Glancing across the line of Ranger squadrons, the air was silent, and the sounds of nature permeated the silence, starkly contrasting to the captain's voice that had screamed at the top of his lungs just moments prior. 

The captain stood at the ledge, the rope coiled at his feet as he looked over the cliff face, pulling his sword from its sheath; in one hand his sword reflected the noon sunlight; in the other hand was the flag of 10th Mountain, a Mountain with a skull at the top, it symbolized the identity of the 10th Mountain; all eyes were on the captain's back, including Gyun's. 

"Helmets on!" 

With the sound of the helmets being pushed down, the line of scared faces of the rangers disappeared, replaced by faceless steel helmets with slits to peer through; Gyun shoved the helmet down over his head. The hot steel helmet was hot and stuffy and narrowed his view but it felt comforting to Gyun on some level, even though the helmet offered little in terms of protection from any sort of Qi-enhanced attack.

"Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!"

The chant started with the captain, but soon the rest of the rangers followed; the shouts would attract the attention of the fortress spotters, but it was meant to. They were tasked with distracting and, if possible, taking the Southern Wall and opening the defensive fortress for the rest of the 2nd legion to assault the walls.

"RAAANNNNNGGGEEERRRRSSS!!" The Captain screamed swinging the flag of the 10th Mountain

"Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chants echoed from the top of the cliff,

A horn resounded from the fortress below, and shouts could be heard from below the cliff face as the fortress soldiers rushed to man defensive positions against the incoming attack.

"WHAT DO WE DO?!"

"WE WIN!!!"

Taking a sharp inhale the captain turned back to the fortress below, "ON MY ORDER!!!!"

Author's note: I recommend skipping everything from chapter 2 all the way to chapter 22, to be honest, the in-between isn't that good and you aren't missing much. Its to set up the world and the characters. But the story kicks in starting around chapter 22 so that's a good starting point if you want to skip the fluff. <<less

August’s life purpose was twofold. One; create Living Weapons. And two; raise Living Weapons.

Unfortunately, life had other plans, as evidenced by the fact that it had been two years since he’d managed to create a Living Weapon, the longest it had ever taken him, and his eldest daughter has only seemed to have gotten bolder about a certain subject a bit... more>> too close to his secrets for comfort.

Hello and Merry Christmas! This is a fanfic of September Swords I’ve been dedicated to for longer than I usually am.
The premise is a mix of for want of a nail with a certain event having much earlier, and an expansion of the world and characters that I found interesting. September Swords is basically a blacksmith overworked trans mom (of living weapon girls) in a fantasy world, and I really want to dig deep into that vibe. The rest I can’t stay without spoiling September Swords so read that! Other stuff is loosely planned, especially since SS isn’t close to done.

In this short story, a young woman named Letttie returns to her childhood home and reckons with her troubled past. ... more>>

How long exactly the house had been in the family was anyone's guess. It was a great mass of precarious skyward extensions, each made by different hands, and each the product of different eras of architecture. The ambition of the procession of Dinheimers responsible was unfortunately not matched by their skill, though their repeated engagements in brinkmanship with the force of gravity had not yet caused utter catastrophe. When Lettie’s father had resolved to leave his own mark on the ancient house, its state was that of a Jenga tower at the end of a game which, by the accounts of all but the players, ought to have ended many turns ago.
A house divided will stand just fine for as long as you let it. Maybe she'd tear it down, then.

Art by me. <<less
