--> “We had fun and violence, and no one died. I like this group.”
--> Nails

An online series by B.I. Flight. Each volume consists of a “novel” that is actually four novellas detailing important events in the lives of the eponymous monster hunters. The series is updated sporadically on Flight’s website, [[http://www.thelonelywinds.com www.thelonelywinds.com]], as new novellas are completed. The stories take place in an original setting that is gradually explored as the series progresses.

The series is described as a “genre-bending” blend of those things the author loves: horror, action, fantasy, sci-fi, humor, etc. To date the series has only a small, but very loyal, fanbase.

This series provides examples of the following:
* AlienSky
* ArcWords -- “The Truce” and more recently, “This land is mine!”
* BadassBookworm -- Jake and arguably [[spoiler: George]].
* BadassLongcoat -- Will, often [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in a [[RunningGag running gag]] where others describe him as looking like someone “from a bad cyberpunk novel.”
* BadassNormal -- About 75% of the cast.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Nails and as of Book VII, both [[spoiler: Cynthia and George]]
* BlessedWithSuck [[spoiler: Nails]]
* CatapultNightmare
* CityOfAdventure
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman -- Jake’s homemade [[PoweredArmor power armor]].
* CloudCuckoolander -- George.
* CompleteMonster -- Lots of stuff, including the setting’s [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires as a whole,]] along with named villains like the Crown of Thorns and Terek Domar.
* ConvenientlyPreciseTranslation
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome -- Nails’s battle in Book VII.
* DeadLittleSister -- Will and his quasi-suicidal determination to battle monsters even when it’s particularly hazardous after the death of his fiancée.
* DumbMuscle -- Marc.
* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl
* FemmeFatalons
* FlyingBrick -- Nails
* GeometricMagic
* Golem
* GunsAkimbo
* HeroesWantRedheads -- Subverted, as redheaded Cynthia constantly harasses Will, who could not be less interested.
* ImprovisedWeapon
* IronicEchoCut
* KungShui
* MagicAIsMagicA
* OccultDetective
* OurAngelsAreDifferent -- [[spoiler: Nails.]]
* OurDragonsAreDifferent

* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ReligionOfEvil -- The Order of the Moonless Night.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness -- George, George, George.
* SpiderSense
* SilverBullet -- Used regularly. The series takes the unusual step of addressing the problem of their ballistic performance, as a bullet minted from solid silver would not handle high muzzle velocities very well. (This troper is a bit dubious about some aspects of the justification, but commends the author for making the effort.)
* StraightGay -- Edmund and Nyrid in the mythos story “Ember and Magma.”
* TarotMotifs
* TheDumbledore -- George yet again.
* TheHunter
* [[ThisIsSPARTA This! Is! SPARTA!]]
* WallOfWeapons
* WeaponOfChoice
* WeHelpTheHelpless
* WhatTheHellHero
* WhoYouGonnaCall
* WriteWhoYouKnow -- Many of the characters are based to some degree off of people the author knows.
* XanatosGambit -- The Crown of Thorns’s games with George. Also, arguably, the shadow war behind the Truce.
* YourVampiresSuck-- Chapter II of Book II is written like a how-to for this trope.
