When someone shows up with big dreams and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve them, Killian will find that the consequences of magic can be very unexpected, indeed. <<less

As monsoon skies weep droplets clear and pure.
A hunter and spirit discover fate anew
As the curtain closes over the winter view.

Fifteen-year-old Evangeline Estiemiéres has a gift. She is the only person in Fern Kingdom who has flames, literally, in her hair. Because of her flames, King Erasmus lends her a special place on the hunting party with three other soldiers.

After accidentally burning down her bakery and a tavern, Eva is desperate to regain her people's trust, including her mother's. In order to do so, she must train under the watchful eyes of the oh so handsome Axis Nethoraba, a young man who wields a secret himself, one that the kingdom is unaware of.

* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

This is the third story in the Trans Witch series. <<less

A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war.... more>>

The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something.

II) All tags are relevant, but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, lust, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

Fanfiction is the nearest genre for this but this is one of those cases where the distinction between derivative fiction and fanfiction is relevant -... more>> I'm by definition *not* a fan of Harry Potter and that's a little more obvious if you read my main work, and derivative fiction when you're not a fan of the source material is inherently very different to derivative fiction when you *are*.
This is a spinoff of that main work, and will contain spoilers if you read the Chamber of Secrets section so probably best to read this after that. It's based on a 'what if' premise, as I wrote a scene where a werewolf Rhiannon came close to accidentally turning Ginny. So what if that scene went differently and she *was* turned, what would Voldemort do if he possessed the body of a werewolf? Obviously as a result, this does contain a lot of horror and angst, and *intentionally* writing horror-adjacent media is pretty new to me so I apologise if it's clunky.
This work also serves as a different character perspective, and as such a lot of the feelings shown do still translate to what happens in the main work and so it may be worth a read if that appeals to you, part of that involves the development of a romantic relationship in the main work that doesn't really get any screen time to show *how* it developed because it doesn't involve the perspective character in the main work but it does here! Events are different, but many of the feelings are the same.
Previously this was exclusive to AO3 readers, but as it stands completed I figured I may as well make it available to anyone who only reads on here. Enjoy, be horrified etc - I can promise that it at least ends in a fluffy bittersweet way. Unless I get bored and add more chapters because I think things that happen in the main work's future might be fun to reinterpret in here, consider it finished, it was only meant to be a oneshot anyway. <<less
