When Martyn was fifteen, he saw his first crow. The two stared at each other for a second- the bird's beady black eyes versus Martyn's green ones- and then the crow tipped its head, spread its wings, and flew off.
Not long after, Martyn's mother came down with a sudden illness and passed away.
Ever since then, Martyn's been traveling the land. If a crow shows up in the place he's in, he leaves as quickly as possible. They mean misfortune, he's puzzled out, so he shouldn't stick around when they're near. He doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, after all.
He hasn't ever been all that good at doing what he should, though.

3rd Life AU set in medieval times. Inspired by The Garden by The Crane Wives.

Hermitcraft Stories
everyone is doing it, and I also have a lot of ideas in my head. I'll try to write about everyone, but probably will stick to a few hermits since they are probably who I have the most ideas about. there will be no ships at all, everything is platonic and just some good old friends. Also these stories by no means reflect the hermits in real life. They are purely fiction and just for fun. (Warning!) There'll be swearing in here, just saying. (Also all art shown does not belong to me unless I say otherwise.)Complete

He killed himself because of me. I know it. At least...I'm pretty sure. But there's something weird with Grian, Mumbo, and Scar. It's like they know something I don't. Is it something with Martyn? I know he's my ex but...a part of me still loves him. AHHHH!! Why is this so confusing?! A part of me loves Martyn and I know it always will, but another part of me wants to be with Jimmy. What should I do? ... I know. I should talk to Grian and find out the truth. Because I'm tired of being lied to and shoved to the side. So Grian, if you hear this, Get ready to spill the beans. ~~•~~ Scott tries and finds the truth behind everything while Grian tries to hide it all. Mumbo has trouble in his relationship as he constantly gets shoved aside, and Scar gets flashbacks to when he was a kid and how he got his name in the first place. And Jimmy :) Jimmy gets thrown into the middle of this, not knowing what to do or who to believe. He actually ends up debating leaving all of his friends to look out for himself. Besides, the only person we know best is ourselves. (Cover art is not mine)Complete
Never Meant To Be: yet another Scarian fic
Scar, a popular senior at his high school, has two very close friends. Mumbo and Martyn. They hang out a lot and they often crack themselves up. Mumbo is the nerd of their group and Martyn's the class clown. Scar's a bit of both, mostly the funny type though. One night, Martyn invites Scar and Mumbo to a horror movie. Mumbo was busy studying for their math test tomorrow, so Scar went with Martyn. Halfway through, Scar had to go as his mother wanted him home since he failed his last math test and she wanted him to study for the next one. Scar walked home and when he was nearing his home, he saw a...creature on the street sign. Scar walked closer and saw that it looked like a human with colorful parrot wings. But before Scar could say anything, it flew off. Yes my friends, another Scarian fanfic!! I'm really excited for this one and I hope you are to! (Cover art is not mine). This work belongs to me, @Seth189. I reserve the rights to this work and please do not repost it. It takes me a long time to come up with this stuff and it would be better to write your own work!!

Fighting the Corruption (Scarian Superhero AU)
Hotguy is Hermit City's newest hero, and everyone seems to love him. Well, almost everyone. Grian can't stand the city's newest "personal military member". When his younger brother almost gets killed just for being an avian, maybe those Dogwarts "Terrorist" don't look so bad... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really tried to make this description/title decent, but I don't think it worked. And let's not even talk about the cover... This is gonna be book 1 in this AU. Enjoy!
Learning To See
Martyn was born blind and has always relied heavily on his hearing to navigate and understand the world around him. He walks with a cane, and his eyes are always closed-he doesn't even know what color they are, nor has he ever thought to ask. For him, the world has always been cloaked in darkness. That began to change when he discovered a small spark of magic within himself. With time and practice, he learned to use it to "paint" mental images of people and places in his mind. Through subtle differences in tone, mood, and cadence, he could distinguish colors-hearing the warmth of a sunset in a laugh, or the chill of blue in a hushed whisper. Over the years, he also honed his ability to read body language-not through sight, but through sound. The shifting of feet, the rhythm of someone's breath, the way fabric brushed against itself as someone turned-all of it became a symphony of cues that told him what others could see with their eyes. Martyn often kept to himself, sitting quietly in the corner of a room with a Braille book in his hands, lost in the raised dots beneath his fingers. Most people didn't approach him. Whether it was discomfort or uncertainty, he had grown used to being left alone. But that all changed the day a new transfer student joined the theater program. Curious and unafraid, they noticed Martyn sitting by himself and, rather than shy away, felt drawn to him. For the first time in a long while, Martyn's quiet world began to shift-not just with sound and magic, but with the unexpected rhythm of connection.Complete
