Sunny has a unique power, one that got him thrown in prison when he was only a child. Now, after years spent in isolation, he's escaped and become one of the city's most feared villains. Working under Monarch, a villain organization rapidly becoming the greatest threat Solace International has seen since the fall of the first hero society, isn't too bad. As long as he ignores the general constant death and fear, the day job and peaceful life Sunny built make his night obligations worth it. Unfortunately, Monarch's recent actions have drawn the attention of Solace's top heroes. One of which being: Clover. Solace's golden boy hero is charming, beloved, impossibly lucky, and far too interested in Sunny for his liking. No big deal, though. Not like any of that affects him. Sunny's there to clock in and clock out, the end. That is, until something entirely foreign gets involved: Touch. [] [] [] [STANDALONE sequel/spinoff that takes place after the events of ZERO. You do not need to read ZERO to read this] [WARNINGS: death. Like a lot of death and some gore, also smut]

Desmond Crenshaw doesn't have much going for him. He street races for cash, deals drugs to get by, and drags himself through each day with only one goal: survival. He's a reckless high school dropout with very few talents that won't get him arrested-definitely not someone you'd want around your child. Vaughn Torres agrees, he's been seeking a solid reason to cut off the friendship between the troublemaker and his daughter since the day they met. He gets one, too, when Des's vices begin to bleed into their lives and Winter is officially in danger. Des is given an ultimatum: he can only be around Winter if he distances himself from the crime. There's only one way to do that. A change of employment, specifically to Vaughn's mechanic shop, though that balance is a lot easier said than done. No, things for Des are never that simple. Not when he's working under the watchful eye of a man who hates him. Not when he starts genuinely wanting to be better, and is faced with the rocky road of leaving a life of crime entirely. And especially not when he's been in love with Winter's dad for years.

Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings. [WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]
