Adolescence + sex + magic

Quasirandom 🚫
Updated:

I'm looking for stories that deal with adolescence, sex, and magic, not necessarily with those elements blended together though that's definitely a plus, but where all three are present. The obvious scenario is a teen's first time is what awakens their magic, but all the other permutations -- including teens with sex magic, or teen mages having sex -- are quite welcome. (Note that for these purposes, psionics and superpowers are magic.)

For these purposes, I'd prefer not to have DS elements -- nor SM for that matter. Searches on +Teenagers +Magic -BDSM -DomSub give a rather long list to sort through, and a) I suspect it misses many straight-up fantasies because the Magic code is technically in the mind-control category and b) I've noticed a lot of stories about teens don't get tagged Teenagers.

Any suggestions?

If you want a more humorous take:
Magic by Lazlo Zalezac

There's also sequel to Magic called More Magic but at that point the MC is getting into college

I am, in fact, halfway through Magic — the story's not great but the silliness is laugh-out-loud fun. The Power looks especially promising — thanks!

More Magic was unfinished - along with The Quatyl - due to a lightning strike which destroyed Lazlo's computer, and inadequate backups. If he had taken backups, they were destroyed at the same time.

Are you sure it wasn't Hammer Marcin's doing?

BJohn has Sorcerer: The Inner Circle that fits your request. It's the first book of a 5-book series Sorcerer and Best Girl (Free Spirit Universe) that are interwoven. Although the other books are not on SOL that first book is a complete story.

Read the first two — best high fantasy I've read on SOL. Am waiting for the third to finish before starting it.

Three stories by Vax might meet your criteria: DemiGod, The Sight, The Touch.

Hmm — those look to feature Dom and some BDSM, which I was specifically looking to avoid. Are those tags for incidental elements or running themes?

No worries. Thanks for trying.

@Quasirandom

Yanno, it occurs to me that I should clarify that for these purposes, psi powers and superpowers count as forms of magic. They fill the same narrative role, after all.

But what's obvious to me isn't necessarily obvious to all. I mean, as far as I can tell, adolescence, sex, and magic are manifestations of a single underlying phenomenon, yet few seem to agree.

Several of the stories in the 'Magic Ink' universe by 'Uncle Jim' are centered on teens with magic.

None of those stories has 'on screen' BDSM as far as I recall (warning: Some of the female characters were slaves before being rescued.)

Magic Ink II through Magic Ink V are the ones most focused on teens. Magic Ink has a couple of characters under a curse that leaves them 16 forever.

I also highly recommend Uncle Jim's Amulets of Power series.

The Amulets of Power — A Universe from the Mind of Uncle Jim
These stories take place in a Parallel Universe. The separation point between our Universe and the one in these stories was when the six Amulets arrived on Earth. This was about fifty years before the founding of the Chakri Dynasty in Thailand (6 April 1782).

Maybe the characters are not young enough, but many are younger soldiers. The girls tend to be teenagers.

@Radagast

I'm a little dubious about that, given the POV is the eternal god not the adolescent and the vibe of the opening has a very DS vibe. Does this change?

Replies: Radagast

@Quasirandom

Nope, mild DS continues as a theme through the novel. Not my cup of tea, but an interesting /original plot so I ignored and skipped as needed. The sequel is supposed to be darker so I didn't read it.
I found Biomancer by the same author to be a new take on a super hero origin story. Unfortunately the complete story isn't, its more of a first chapter to an unfinished novel.

Mmm. I'll keep it in mind for later, then, when I'm reading for other things than this.

I'll suggest Tales of MU (High Fantasy - Higher Education), but with quite a few caveats:
- It's not on this site (you'll need to search for it)
- It's unfinished
- It doesn't seem to have been updated in over four years
- It's long, over 300 chapters available, but...
- The first volume seems to have been hidden away and isn't accessible (about 400 chapters IIRC)
- Many of the story threads are tinged with D/S, at least in the first volume
- At least one of those threads covers BDSM (happening mostly off-screen).
- I haven't read the second volume

ETA: read about it on TV Tropes a/o Tropedia

Tales of MU isn't just "tinged" with dS themes, its rather full of it. Similarly with the S/M. I normally don't mind such themes if they are done well and not in an abusive fashion but I distinctly remember being uncomfortable with the way one of the characters was treated and everyone being okay with it, due to her species. That ultimately led me to dropping the whole thing.
