Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

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

Fantasia Series #2 <<less

There's a story of a witch cloaked in shadows. Some say she died in the war, after joining hands with a demon. But whispers in the dark lingered on. If Illius prayed, would she come? If he begged, would she save him? No. Illius had no need for myths and stories. The horns that marred his skull marked him as a beast, a freak. He deserved his cage, the shackles on his wrists. Miracles weren't meant for the cursed.... more>>

In the forgotten land of Gensokyo lay many a fantastical creature and personages even more fantastical than any creature – there reside plentiful of vampires, ghosts, tengus, onis, so on and so forth. The land is a refuge for these creatures who are oft forgotten in the 21st century of the Outside World (Earth) and whisked away through a barrier that separates this odd realm from the normal world that exists outside.... more>>

Perhaps the oddest location in Gensokyo, amongst those comprehendible to the ordinary human mind, is the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A Western mansion, sticking out like a sore thumb in an Eastern land, inhabited by: a gatekeeper who can’t gatekeep, a maid / ninja / very normal human who can control time itself, an asthmatic witch with an impressive collection of books in Esperanto, the mansion’s vampiric mistress with a penchant for trolling, and the aforementioned mistress’ little sister who has the ability to destroy anything and / or anyone at will. Oh, and one last thing, the vampires serve humans for breakfast, dinner and lunch.

As evidenced above, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is not a suitable place to live for your run-of-the-mill homo sapiens with any smidgeon of sanity.

Thus, it is quite a troubling predicament when an ordinary human named Licorice Meidou finds herself in the grounds of the mansion, with no idea as to where she is or who she is. She ends up being recruited on the whim of the mansion’s mistress, stepping foot into the bizarre land of Gensokyo as she has to contend with whatever fate has in store for her.

What to expect from this work:

- The world of Gensokyo as told from the perspective of an ordinary, human female MC working in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, written in a way that should be easy to get into for people who know nothing about Touhou.
- Some comedy, some drama, lots of slices-of-life.
- Scenes of people consuming tea.

What to not expect from this work:

- High octane action with high-stakes drama.
- An overpowered MC who gets all the girls.
- John Brown. Please read the John Brown Isekai if you were expecting the aforementioned.

Since I’m currently busy writing the John Brown Isekai, this work might not have the most consistent chapter length (somewhere around 1000-2000 words / chapter).

New chapters will be uploaded every Saturday at 17:30 GMT.

Kataria is a witch. The most witchy of witches, because she does, um, a lot of things that witches do.
Like... make potions! And cast spells, and... things.
Other... witch things, obviously. ... more>>

Ahem.

In order to be such a witch-like person, she of course spends a significant portion of time attending to her witchly activities. Alone, obviously. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately, tragedy inevitably strikes.
With events that only could have been orchestrated by fate itself, Kataria is thrown into the midst of the world's most terrifying place.

Society, home of responsibilities and social interaction.
Neither of these are in a witch's job description.

welcome to my story!

this is a rewritten version of an old story i (tried) making a while ago, called "The Loner Witch and the Troubles of Society", which i had tried to write, and failed, mostly cause i hit mental roadblocks. and writer's block. and other blocks of similar nature. if any such blocks exist. yeah.

oh right, and college. and work. haha

the point is: don't expect a regular schedule, and don't expect this to get completed. i'll try my best to get at least one chapter out per week, but no promises. <<less

Ever wondered how modern witches cope with urban life?
How to [Not]... is a collection of stories that follows different witch girls as they navigate the challenges of city living, attending ordinary schools, and keeping their magical abilities a secret. Through a series of amusing accidents, these enchanting tales reveal the everyday struggles of young witches attempting to blend in with their non-magical peers.... more>>

I write these stories while still working on the 1st part of my novel series No Such Thing as Magis (NSTaM). The stories happen in the same City, though unrelated to the novel's events. The novel itself is an urban fantasy comedy, heavily inspired by Rosario + Vampire, Actually I am…, High School DxD, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, and, of course, Konosuba.

When a pilot with no name breaks through a rift to a dying world, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things in the way of a horrific army of monsters that is marching to burn down the mystical world tree and kill its keeper as the final symbol of their grim victory.... more>>

What happens when an emotionless killer is transported to another place, when a man who was trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands now becomes the last protector of the perfect garden below instead?

What happens when a soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live together with a peaceful incarnation of nature itself — a dryad — in order to save the last sparks of life on her fading world from a series of invasions that never seem to end?
_______________________
The one-thousand year crisis has begun.

The world tree, towering up toward the heavenly skies, is the greatest beacon of resilience and peace that there is. Saturated with deeply set, ancient magical energies, it is the most powerful source of ambient, restorative magic that the dying world has ever known. Guarded solely now by its last pacifistic caretaker, a forest dryad, it seems inevitable that it will soon be destroyed with nobody around who is strong enough to protect it from the steadily approaching danger.

Rising from the shadows, horrific monsters from forgotten eras tear through the world in the steadily growing waves of their invasion, breaking free from their ancient prisons deep below its surface as they rampage and destroy the cities of men, elves, and all the other races of the many continents. Filled with nothing but an intent to kill, the system-manifested hordes march toward the last garden in order to bring about the end of the last era.

As one nation after the other falls, everything seems lost, until fate intervenes and a rift between worlds opens, bringing in the only hope the many nations, the sacred tree, as well as its peace-loving caretaker, have against the endless tide of blood and fangs — a transmigrated war pilot, flying an experimental combat aircraft, the Jagdflugzeug-09 'Kestrel'.

Is this one man enough to stop the monster invasions, which grow stronger and stronger with every subsequent wave? Can the pilot with no name carry the fate of the world upon his wings, or can he only watch from above as the fires of the apocalypse reach up to the sky to consume him as well before the fall of final darkness?

5) I'm open to any guidance and constructive criticism
6) since this is fanfiction if you recognize names and settings from other sources, it probably is from somewhere.
7) The storylines of characters and plot have been completely changed
8) The cover is just my attempt at Photoshopping random pictures from the internet, which I'm not good at all.
