UA's Support Department has seen all kinds of eccentric inventors, but none quite like the masked, welding-gear-wearing student who becomes Bakugo Katsuki's personal go-to technician. She works fast, doesn't ask questions, and never wastes his time-already making her rarer than most of Class 1-A combined. Bakugo doesn't know her name, doesn't know her face, and honestly doesn't care. They talk shop, exchange gear, and go their separate ways.

Before he was a world renown researcher, he was her best friend. Before 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 were offered for his life changing discovery, he made her a promise: 𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚. He made her promise she'd wait for him. And she did. Now Selena stands beside him as his fiancée, but to the rest of the world she's nothing but a 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳. The girl who latched onto a rising genius at the perfect time. Especially when the wealthy CEO of a business does her a favor, and an NFL star accidentally mentions her name instead of his girlfriend's at an interview. They think she played Noel. They think he's naive. They think he's being used. They're all wrong. Noel knows exactly what he's doing. In fact, he's been pulling the strings all along, tying her life to his in ways she doesn't fully understand...and will never be able to escape.

Selena is the 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍. The villain destined to lose her football-star boyfriend to the shy, innocent nerd. Everyone watches in silent awe as he replaces her in the name of love. It was the perfect fairytale ending, just like the movies... But not for long. Because this breakup awakens admirers long held back. Particularly one who's made her his quiet obsession: Noel Casper. The neglected genius assigned to be her tutor. What begins as study sessions develops into a friendship neither of them expected. Behind closed doors, Selena cooks for him, upgrades his wardrobe, and supports his dreams. But to the outside world, he's just a boy being used by the mean girl, especially when they see him carrying her books, tying her shoes, and driving her all around. What they don't know, is that Noel has been watching her for years. And the more Selena takes care of him, the more he becomes 𝒐𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅. When his research catapults him to international success, the world suddenly notices the boy they once overlooked. Now Selena's ex is begging for a second chance, and the rival who started this all is determined to "rescue" Noel. But Noel doesn't want to be saved. He only wants one person. Selena. And he will do whatever it takes to ensure she never leaves his side. ***UNDERGOING STRUCTURAL EDITS*** ─ ⊹ ⊱ ⊰ ⊹ ─ 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑩𝒆𝒆 𝒙 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒖𝒔 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 #1 𝚟𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗ess #2 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 #2 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜

"Looks like I accidentally married a Rengoku..." "Father will definitely kill me..." Fuyuko Kazahana, a young girl with a tragic pass that she kept as her deepest darkess secret, a sin that she will hold forever even in the afterlife. She enters the world of being a Demon Slayer for her own entertainment and excitement, life is dull for her but whenever she fight, she felt alive. Her cold exterior made her intimidating and cold blooded but Fuyuko is human, who also have emotions. After a plan of hers that gone wrong, she didn't expect to be married to a certain descendant from the clan of flames that had been her father's sworn rival, he hated them very much. But who cares? Fuyuko didn't really care, a certain bright flame brought warmth she never felt and fate unexpectedly turned her world upside-down. Whilst she just go with the flow like a winter breeze.

Rebirth was not something that he had thought possible. Perhaps, he had had some vague hopes of reincarnation cycles as the more desirable option to afterlife. But being reborn in what he believed to be a fictional universe had only seemed as the premise of stories. Waking up to a void of nothing, no light, no body, no feeling, and then being thrown into the midst of what had once seemed a mere fantasy- it was too much. As an A.I., how much could he change? Could he save Tony? Could he save the world without his sacrifice? Or should he not do anything? What if his existence was the butterfly that would destroy the timeline, and with it, the universe? Was this even a choice? Was he to play the villain? So the timeline could remain intact? Could he even do that? "You doing ok, kid?" Tony asked him. "I'm fine, Tony, really." No, no, he couldn't. ~~~ Disclaimer: The MCU universe and its characters do not belong to me. I only enjoy playing in this world once in a while.

Lilith Frost is dead. She was one of the best they had, and she was dead. Kiyohime Ikari was born, and she remembered her past life as Lilith when she bumped into a certain raven-haired future detective, making this life much much more interesting for her. The Puppeteer, Lilith aka Kiyohime, only knows how to enjoy herself, and so she does. Slowly, twisting and turning and trapping everyone around her in her mind games, infuriating Light and L to no end. . . . "So are you saying, Kiyo, that if you had Kira's power you would do the same thing?" "Again, Sayu, I am not saying anything, but if I did have Kira's power, who's to say what I would have done? I wouldn't know myself, not until I would have gotten it before all this happened." . . . Manipulation is an art, and she treats it as such. She takes it slow and steady, as if rewiring their minds in the way to favor herself. They are the puppeteers and she is the puppet, but what they don't realize is that their fingers move with the strings being manipulated by the puppet.
