    Summary

    Every day is a cornucopia of new experiences. As you grow older these events tend to lose their newness, the magic that makes them special and embeds the moments into your mind, for good or bad. Hunter is used to change, by now. Used to the constant travel, and uprooting, and messiness that his upbringing wrought. All he’s ever known was a life with his uncle, moving from town to town, doing the Lord’s work in eradicating monsters from human civilization.

    But he isn't human, and he never was. After one fateful night he loses everything he's ever known, and he's left floundering after finding out how much of that was a lie. Now he's stuck in a small town of supernatural entities with no idea how to play nice with others. Who thought this was a good idea? Can he figure out how to move on, or will his past catch up to him and ruin this second chance?

    (And just who is this pretty, green-eyed neighbor who seems so eager to befriend him anyway?)

    Summary

    Belos was wrong about a lot of things (things Hunter couldn’t start to wrap his head around yet, much less accept), but he was right when he said the Boiling Isles were a place of chaos. Titan’s sake, there was a whole coven dedicated to making reality seem different to what it really was.
    So even if Hunter looked like a normal witch, with pointed ears and warm skin and a heart that pumped blood through his chest - that was irrelevant.
    That was just the surface.

    -

    In which Hunter decides to understand what a grimwalker is.

    Summary

    “And you just made friends? Like that?”

    “Oh, of course not! He told me to leave him alone, like, a million times”

    Hunter Wittebane is only thirteen, and the bruises on his knuckles are still fading. Fourteen feels like years away, even though he’s only got three months left. All he wants to do is keep his head down and get through his most recent encounter with his own cosmically terrible luck- community service for a fight he didn’t start.

    Luz Noceda is just a few weeks short of twelve, and since twelve is like, proper proper pre-teen age, her mami has finally let her loose on the YA section of the library this summer. She knows her stuff. So what else is she supposed to do when, during her third annual stint of volunteering at the Crypt Road Animal Sanctuary, the walking definition of a bad boy with a scar and elf ears steps in?

    Befriend him immediately, of course!

    (Prequel to my Witches!AU. Reading the first work to understand is advised but not necessary.)

    Summary

    Hunter and Luz and the great american road trip.

    ***

    Hunter comes out of a gas station, arms full of goodies, and calls to Luz who’s filling up. “What’s sushi?”

    Luz shakes out the last dribble and takes the little plastic container from his hands. “Is this gas station sushi?” she asks.

    “Does it matter where it’s from?”

    “Hunter. Fish should be fresh. This may have never seen an ocean.”

    “Does that mean we’re not going to eat it?”

    “Nah, it means we’re idiots,” says Luz. "At least we’re self-aware.” She pops the lid off and scarfs down one of the little rolls. Her second one she chews thoughtfully, holding the container out for him.

    Hunter takes a bite. “Damn,” he says, and downs it whole, gulping loudly. “Tastes like food poisoning.”

    Luz swallows her third piece. “Delicious food poisoning.”

    “I think you’re just hungry. You know I bought other food too, right?”

    “Gas station sushi is a right of passage and I want to celebrate this with you,” says Luz.

    “Thanks,” says Hunter.

    “I don’t want you to suffer alone.”
