Destiny Fails Us is a Slice-of-Life Webcomic series that follows a Idril Ar'Feinel and her friends, throughout their final years of high school.

Idril is a shy clumsy girl who likes to play video games. Alaska is the loud, violent girl, who goes through phases with obsessions, quite heavily. Atali is the innocent, kind girl with cat ears. She's a bit naive, but her intentions are always good. And Lily, if you can ever pry her away from her cell phone, is the popular 'pretty girl.' She even has a fan club.

Idril has been best friends with Vincent Valare since they were little, and she's fallen for him. However, when his best friend likes Idril as well, what will become of the situation?
