Rated-R: {Read the Author's Note For More Information} Two gay villains. Not just wicked smokers and immature characters, no. They were more on the inside. Twisted geniuses, yes-but not mindless monsters. Stanley Stickman and Pop weren't chaotic for fun; they had purpose, strategy, and one deadly clue about who their enemies really were. And Cityville? It wasn't some generic town either. Beneath its grey-colored buildings and New York streets hummed secrets, layered storylines where every character played a role: Sawyer, the bear with tan fur, Decan, a stuffed dinosaur, both dressed up as an agent spy... all guarding what this place truly hid under layers of comedy and forced healthy relationships. But then? Chaos paid with vials. A controlled masterpiece shattered like glass when those two transformed, not into a funny predicament, but into something far more dangerous: Attractive. Manipulative women. 5 foot nine and unforgotten at first sight. Fangs glinting under streetlights, Pasts screaming around them like omens... fear and obsession radiating off everyone else because suddenly? The sassiest ladies in town could destroy you without blinking. A break out rumor raining over Sawyer and Decan to crack their X-rated relationship in one day... No laughter here now. Just a numbing truth, "Two hot women..." "Agents cut deep..." Is it really just a beginning for both parties or an end to their shining futures in Cityville...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dead and stuck on Earth, commitment phobic Ren has been assigned as Grace's spiritual advisor. And he can't move on until he's done "helping" her. Which would be easier for them both if Ren's idea of help didn't involve inserting himself into her life and insisting on finding her a date for her sister's wedding. Unfortunately, the longer he stays, the more complicated leaving starts to feel. A story about modern dating, messy romance, and the chaos of being ghosted... in more ways than one.
