Plot Summaries:

Ishuca is dying any way, so he decides to satisfy his curiosity by going to see the reputedly lethal ice demon in a nearby cave. The demon, in search of the fabled tear crystal which can grant any one wish, saves Ishuca's life, thus introducing Ishuca to a life of demons, travel, and adventure. - reviewed by MEverdark

Remarks:

There's angst in every tear of this well crafted story, though not all that much UST. Ishuca is nearly the archtype of caring, earnest, pure-hearted and innocent, to the point where flowers periodically sprout out of the top of his head, he is a very real danger to himself, and there are many jokes at his expense. Blood, the demon, determined to protect Ishuca, undergoes a transformation that makes him increasingly human. Many of the story arcs are real tear-jerkers and worth several reads. I am especially fond of the Rapunzel story.
