Author has written 7 stories for Dying Light, RWBY, and X-Men: The Movie.

What can I say about myself that would capture your attention? Well, not much actually. I'm just the average Joe, working a full-time job for a living. I like writing though, and I also happen to like anime and video games, so there you go. I'll stick to fanfics for now, though I'd like to write my own stuff in the future.

What do I like, I hear you ask? Lots of stuff. Oh, you mean like movies and anime and stuff? Well I'm not that much into movies, and I'm not crazy for anime either. I just happen to watch more anime than anything else. I definitely like anything with action, drama and adventure. Shonen is almost always a go, though I like other genres as well.

Regarding video games, anything with a good story or gameplay gets a pass from me. I'm not very picky. Sci-fi and zombies are a definite favorite though, with titles such as Dying Light, Singularity and STALKER holding a special place in my heart.

What I hate? Pretty much anything that ends in a status quo, overwhelming amounts of fanservice (I like it in moderation though), and stuff that takes itself way too seriously.

I've got two fics running at the moment, though I plan on writing a lot more in the future. Some one-shots might pop up once in a while as well, though that depends on my mood and inspiration. I have a hard time fitting everything I want to write in a handful of chapters, so long stories are more of my thing.


Ongoing fics:

Children of Light: A bitter-sweet story of two brothers, trapped in a city full of zombies. Based on the game "Dying Light". Starts off two months prior to the game's plot, and it's plot will mesh in with the canon one to some degree or another. Characters will live or die on a whim, so pick your favorites carefully. Profanity and gore are right at home here, and there's no plot armor in sight.

Children of Light - Of fluff and fuzz: This is a very episodic series with little to no impact on the main Children of Light fic. They will be mostly sweet and stupid, with Apollo and Hermes going about their shenanigans with not a care in the world because impenetrable plot armor. I'm writing these to help me get into the flow for the main story, so I'll post them at the same time. So, if you need a breather in between the shitstorms of the main series, this is a place for you.

Wish upon a star: A RWBY fanfiction that started off as a rather simple question: if someone from our world visits Remnant, how will they fare? My conclusion: badly. Connor, the unfortunate labrat I've chosen to explore this concept, finds out the hard way that we're not built to survive a world like Remnant. Without aura and a semblance, he'll have to rely on Atlas tech, along with the Grimm Energy, if he hopes to make it out of there alive. Some plot armor here and there, but thread carefully. People are still gonna die.


Completed fics and one-shots:

A Stark Harran: A RWBY x Dying Light crossover oneshot. Team STRQ enters Harran instead of Crane as agents of the GRE. Faced with the unending hoards of undead however, and with turmoil between them when Taiyang dies, the rest of the team breaks apart. Hummingbird is also a thing.

Never would, never will: An X-Men drabble I wrote after seeing the Logan movie. Centers on an adult Laura Kinney, aka X-23, and her inner struggle as her and a small team of mutants fight Alkali.

RWBY Short Stories by Deneve the Claymore reviews
These will be my small fan fiction ideas. Each chapter will be a section of a story, so there will be a broad range of topics in the chapters. Some will be silly, while others will have a very serious tone. If a chapter gets enough comments, then I will expand on that story and dedicate a separate fan fiction to it. If you like a story, comment on that chapter!

Latchkey Hero by Tafferling reviews
The fall of Harran robbed man of its humanity, and Zofia Sirota of her innocence. Finding redemption, with the city rotting away around her, seems to be a pipe dream at best, until a man falls from the skies and turns futility to hope. Either that, or he's about to make things a whole lot worse. [Dying Light 2 compliant]

Wish Upon A Star reviews
A hasty wish, made in a heartbeat and fueled by anger. An outcome Connor didn't expect, or even want. A blink of an eye, and he woke up in Beacon. During the season 3 finale of all times and places. His future went down the drain that day, his average fate turned grim before his very eyes. Caught up in the dark affairs of a foreign world, how will he fare? OC-Centric, Slow Build.

Children of Light - Of fluff and fuzz reviews
Everyone needs a break once in a while, and God knows Apollo and Hermes deserve it. These will be a collection of 'short' drabbles I write to get into the flow before working on the main story. They don't connect to it in any way, besides the usual shenanigans of the two brothers. Rated M cause there's still gore and strong language. At the end of the day, Harran is still Harran.
