Built not Born
Project Drachen. That's the name the Director gave her, and it's the only name she ever knew. All she knows is war, death, and cold steel.So what happens when Project Drachen tries to escape from this constant cycle? And what happens when a man, with silver hair and a cane, gives her the offer of a lifetime?Warning: There is some cursing, referenced human experimentation, and implied torture/abuse.
They Call me Vox
When asking someone, who knows of the Moonlit World, to describe a magus, they'll tell you magus are: paranoid, reclusive, distrustful, immoral, etcetera etcetera. Vox Amethyst is none of these things. In fact, she's practically the exact opposite of a normal magus. This is her story.(note: up to Singularity 2 Act-1, the story isn't exactly the best. It hopefully gets better after the aforementioned chapter. Either way, please do grin and bear younger me's odd writing while current me tries to make this story one to remember. ALSO Vox is completely a red head, ignore anything that says she has white hair. She doesn't and past me was stupid for saying she does)
The OCs

Familia
An eccentric Captain, a warrior with a dragon's fury, a mage with a gentleman's grace, a man who is also a monster, an aspiring young Adventurer, a powerful magus and her child, and a god of stories.As one can tell, the Archon Familia is certainly a collection of unique individuals.(Just a one-shot for now. If enough people want me to - and if I can find a way to watch the anime - I might continue this.)

Champion of Mischief
Asmundr James Potter was never quite sure when he truly realized that magic is real and that he can use it. Perhaps it was when he was being chased by his cousin one second and on the school's roof the next. Maybe it was when he conjured the illusion of a king cobra. Or, and most likely, it was when a god came to him in a dream and offered him the deal of a lifetime.
