Hi everyone! I'm Keikaru and I've been a long time writer!  I started out writing fanfic back in the 2010s to practice writing and having fun. Now, I'm finally writing and posting an original story called Bride of the Crow Tengu! It's also cross-posted on other sites too. I enjoy reading a variety of genres and I'm fond of fantasy, drama/romance, urban fantasy, supernatural elements, and character-driven stories. Super neat to be here and thanks for reading!


Here's a synopsis of Bride of the Crow Tengu:

There is a legend that Lord Rivu, a crow tengu, presides over Suzu Village. However, ravaging storms and winds lay waste to the crops year after year, and the villagers are desperate for succor. To appease the wrathful deity, the villagers offer a bridal candidate every year to the crow tengu in exchange for a quiet, bountiful season.
Now, it's Yana’s turn to become the next sacrifice. She counts down the days by tending to Lord Rivu’s shrine and learning how to be a perfect bride. To her dismay, Lord Rivu sends down his personal servant, Rinsho, to keep watch over her.

Ribbons of fate, bonds, and identity entwine—but does Yana choose to protect the village, or will she defy her fate as the crow tengu’s bride?

It begs the question…how does one earn the love of a deity?

I have not played Silent Hill F but my friend said that the premise reminds them of the story haha~ Bride of the Crow Tengu is more of a drama, but yes, there is romance and a lot of emotional beats!
