 My Wife Is a Witch (Моя жена — ведьма, Moya zhena — ved'ma) is a duology, written by the Russian fantasy author Andrei Belyanin. As per the author's signature style, the novels feature a good amount of humor.In the first novel, My Wife Is a Witch (1999), a poet named Sergey Gnedin finds out that Natasha, the Hot Librarian he married, is a powerful witch, who got her power from her grandmother's amulet. One day, Sergey wakes up to find his wife missing, only for her to re-appear a few minutes later. She explains that, every full moon, she feels the call to go into what she calls the "dark worlds", parallel worlds, where magic had won out over science. There, she turns into a wolf and runs with other wolves before returning to our world. Until now, she has managed to keep her disappearances on Narnia Time. Some time later, Sergey sees her wake up with bloody lips, and she tells him of a girl she vaguely remembers finding and fears she may have harmed a child. Sergey finds a few strands of wolf hair and absentmindedly burns them. Natasha vanishes. Then Sergey meets his personal angel and demon, Ancifer and Farmason, respectively, who agree to help him look for her in the "dark worlds". Thus begins the inter-dimensional adventure of Sergey Gnedin, a poet and a witch's husband, who finds out that, while in the Magical Land, his poems turn into powerful (and unpredictable) spells, making him a sorcerer. He also finds out that there is an old werewolf named Owl, who seeks to kill Sergey and take Natasha for himself. His adventures will take him to various worlds, from one dominated by The Spanish Inquisition to the world of the Norse Mythology on the eve of Ragnarok to the mysterious City, populated by all manner of fantastic creatures, which prove that Dark Is Not Evil. He will meet many extraordinary characters and make both friends and enemies, while fulfilling a prophecy about the only man to ever become a witch's husband.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In The Little Sister from Hell (2001), Sergey lives a happy life with his wife Natasha and their adopted daughter Freya, when his wife's cousin comes to visit for a few days. The teenage girl appears to be obsessed with Sailor Moon and cosplays as the titular character, even insisting that people call her Bunny Tsukino. The next morning, Sergey finds her wearing his wife's grandmother's amulet. Before he can stop her, "Bunny" grabs his notebook, reads one of his poems, and disappears into thin air. When Ancifer and Farmason appear to console him, he insists that they help him find the girl before his wife comes home from work. He soon discovers that the girl has somehow attained the powers of favorite character and is going around the "dark worlds", attacking anyone she perceives as evil, not caring that there are many Friendly Neighborhood Vampire-type beings there. Naturally, Sergey assumes that someone must have given her these powers for some nefarious purpose and is determined to find and return her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

 All Myths Are True: The "dark worlds" are, pretty much, this trope, since they are the worlds where magic has won over science, which allows for gods and other supernatural creatures to exist.

 Bears Are Bad News: Inverted. When Sergey accidentally summons bears with a poem, they scare away the wolves and werewolves surrounding the heroes and take them to their den. After Sergey helps them stop a hunter, they promise to come to his aid no matter where or when he calls. They are among The Cavalry that appears at the end to help him battle Beliar's forces.

 Baleful Polymorph: When fighting Owl in the past, Sergey is lifted up into the sky by Ancifer, who has grown in size. While there, Sergey reads a poem that results in him turning into a large St. Bernard, allowing him to turn the tide and defeat the old werewolf. When he goes back to his own time, he turns back into a human.
