Whisked off in the initial chaos of the “attack”, Holly ends up conscripted into a feralist crew on the run from the Affini. That is, until she finds a strange piece of Affini tech which allows her to get a new perspective, and potentially a path to a happier life, if only she can be brave enough to get there.

    Summary

    The Terran Accord needs a miracle. System after system has fallen to the Affini Compact, crawling ever closer to Terra and the Sol System. Deep within the Capitol, ten experts have been summoned for Operation Battery Staple, a last ditch effort to find anything that might stem the bleeding and give the Accord a chance. Mark Solak, analyst, is among those experts. It’s up to him to keep a clear head and figure out how to use everything the other experts create.

    It’s also going to be his job to secretly reach out to the Affini and figure out what the proposed Human Domestication Treaty actually means. Determine if the absurd terms contained within are just misdirection, or if they’re somehow the actual terms for peace.

    Should be easy, right?

    Summary

    It was just a little witchcraft. Harmless. Never actually did anything. Just a fun little pastime for Akane to vent her frustrations, to shout at the universe for replacing the sweet girl she'd met early today with that perverted boy, to cast her wish into the void to bring that girl back.

    Except... Ranma's got red hair now. And he can't change back.

    And she always knows where he is now, what he's doing, and whether or not he means what he says.

    And she can do actual magic, now, too.

    Her world's gotten a little unfamiliar, but she is Akane Tendo, heir to the Tendo Branch of Anything Goes Martial Arts, and apparently, a real life witch. So she'll figure it out, one step at a time.

    Now Includes art!
