Summary
At the conclusion of the Empire's war, Fódlan was left with but one ruler and a host of miseries. Years later, that ruler is known to many of his subjects as a steadfast, just, and compassionate king. To his loving family and his trusted peers, he is a gentle father and a worthy friend. And yet, behind closed doors in Fhirdiad there persist dread rumors; and the King of Faerghus, they say, is a haunted man...

Summary
At the Shattering's fevered climax, a host from the far north waged war beyond sanity with the armies of Redmane Castle, enfeoffed to the mightiest warrior known to history. This was the Battle for Caelid, and to this day its consequences are sorely felt across the Lands Between, where no lord yet rules. But what of those who lived through that terrible day? In a land where even the course of history rots, only the derelict nomads might tell such stories.
And here is one story you might hear told at a modest campfire, safe behind the burning wall which marks the border of Caelid: an improbable tale of a brave knight, of her journey through collapsing kingdoms, and of the peoples struggling to yet live whom she met -- and those whom she slew, too -- as she carried her Empyrean mistress home to safety.

Summary
“To achieve adulthood is to kill the child in you.”
A few years after Kaiki Deishuu fled from Tokyo in disgrace, a boy -- the likes of whom you've never heard before -- receives his first confession, just weeks before graduation. But what should be a heart-pounding, exciting moment instead presses a painful question: "Do I have a future?"
The conclusion to Kawarimonogatari! A final footnote to send off my Substitute Story. Thank you for your support!

Summary
"This is a story that hurts to retell. But that too might just be a lie."

Summary
"The lesson you should learn by the end of this tale is, 'what makes us who we are is not something so easily defined as through mere appearances and words and origins.'"
Kaiki Deishuu, lone ghostbuster, wandering paranormal specialist, finds himself stuck in the middle of an absurd missing persons case as his past catches up to him... or perhaps that's just how I want you to see it.
(Pt.1 of Kawarimonogatari [Substitute Story]. Pt.2, Shiori Spider, out now!)
