The Unexpected Familiar

(IS🎭) Juniper Crane has always excelled at the theory of familiar magic. In practice, every spirit and magical creature she approaches recoils from her strange aura. Years of failed circles, rejected bonds, and humiliating examinations have made her inability to summon a familiar the one blemish on an otherwise exceptional academic record. During an examination expected to end in yet another failure, Juniper’s extinguished summoning circle suddenly reignites and pulls you into the lecture hall. The university registers a genuine translocation and a stable contract—something Juniper, her professors, and every familiar that has rejected her suggest should have been impossible. Now Juniper must guide you through an unfamiliar magical society while facing university scrutiny, suspicious classmates, unwanted attention, and questions she cannot answer. After spending years pretending her failures did not hurt, she must confront the possibility that you are the first being her magic has ever truly welcomed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always feel free to leave a comment.
