In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras, our hero, arrives in Merin’s house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin’s house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras. Tamras’s journey begins with the smallest of steps. She sets aside her disappointment and performs as well as she can the humble tasks given her, and eventually she succeeds in winning the trust and then the friendship of the cantankerous warrior to whom she has been assigned. In the first year of her journey, Tamras will make a series of choices that often seem insignificant, but they will flow from her character and from her good intentions, and they will determine her destiny.

Update every Tuesday and Thursday; with art for almost every chapter. Recommended to go in blind. But if you want to read the blurb; no one's stopping you!! Have fun! (⚠️Might contain some spoilers. Reading the first chapter would explain almost everything and with nothing that might be considered a spoiler.⚠️) Mika, a confident nine-year-old living with her mother, is working hard to enter the army-at any cost. But when bad things are meant to happen-It won't stop for anyone. The past eight deities of the land had committed a sin-staining their world of demons that leaked out because of it. Powers of these deities passed down to the next generations and none of them couldn't do anything-until the current generation, who broke the norms. The unbreakable bond of brotherhood between them. Wasn't so unbreakable after all! What caused that? Jealousy? Greed? In the important yet losing battle, the current deities took an enormous blow, vines grew inside their foundation, causing the eight evil counterparts; creatures of chaos are so omnipresent in every page of the history books, yet no one knew nothing about; other than the aftermath of their deeds. They showed movements after decades of silence. Why now? Of all times? Is it to wreak havoc? To finish all of this, once and for all? Stuck between the political feud and the tangling doom, Mika was lost. Growing distant of the incompetent government of the deities, who did nothing when her people suffered. Yet, she had to work with the same deities that she hated with her gut, if it meant saving her people. She did the bidding! Balancing the weight of responsibility while playing with the jump-rope of time travel. But time travel to where? To where it all started? But something is sure... It's facing these gods and the devils who rivaled those gods-simultaneously, all while being a mere mortal. Who would win? Will she save her people? Defeat these powerful beings in her journey? How did she even get into thi

Sakura, who is often sent on solo diplomatic missions on behalf of the Hokage, makes an unlikely ally on her travels. itasaku (note since y'all keep complaining: I also ship SasuHina so SasuHina is in this story. It's in the tags. I don't care if you ship them or not, this is literally a crack ship fic. Quit being an asshole.)

They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else.

Orochimaru never became a missing-nin. The Fourth Hokage still stood tall. There was no Uchiha Massacre. The Akatsuki never existed. Madara never became a problem. What could go wrong in such a perfect world? Sakura Haruno had always been alone, and at thirteen, she abandoned Konoha. She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future? @NarutoWattyAwards 2014 Third Place Winner in the General Naruto Category! *Written from 2013-2015*

A collection of letters to a mother who would never get the chance to read them. Or, On why I couldn't let go.

I've known Hidan for a long time before I met my demise. To me, he was just a fool who praised a god who didn't exist. But when I became a Shinigami and read the story of Hidan's life, I realized that I was horribly mistaken. He wasn't all that I thought he was. Hidan of the Akatsuki was a man who wanted to give everything up for the only person he would ever love, but, maybe I was right on some parts. He was a fool- but the special kind. @NarutoWattyAwards Summer 2014 Third Place Winner in the Akatsuki Category!

Peter wasn't going to let May pay the rent all on her own. Not when there was the two of them, not when being Spider-Man made everything that much harder. And if that meant washing scratched up dishes and scrubbing old blood from the tile grout at Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Girls, then so be it. But then one night, his skin turned blue.
