You love music. August loves fashion. You hate choosing where to hang out. August shows up with plans. You are a giver. August doesn't know. College/Alternate Universe August Stilza x Reader

When Semiu assigns you to assist August Stilza, the Cleaner HQ's most brilliant and impossible designer, you expect long hours and messy work. You don't expect the storm of ego, caffeine, and chaos that comes with him. August insists he doesn't need help. You insist he does. Between tangled wires, half-finished gear, and the strange beauty of his cluttered world, you begin to see the cracks beneath his perfection. You're just supposed to organize his schedule and fix his messes. But in a city built on trash and second chances, even the most reluctant partnerships can start to matter. A slow-burning story about patience, pride, and the art of building something together.

❝비로소 지하의 별로 우리❞ ━━━━━ ♡ 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡 into The Pit - a wasteland of twisted metal, rotting memories, and lost souls - (Y/N) (L/N) swore she'd never forgive the world above. Her sister was accused of a crime she didn't commit and cast into the abyss like trash, and when (Y/N) was branded guilty by association years later, fate decided to drop her into the same hell. But what the Sphere didn't expect... was for her to survive. Armed with only her intelligence, a crimson rapier known as Crimson Fang, and the relentless will to avenge her sister, (Y/N) climbs her way through filth, blood, and fire. Behind her polite smile lies a storm of rage; behind her kindness, the scars of betrayal. She doesn't fight for glory. She fights for retribution. Her path crosses with the Cleaners - and one man in particular, Zanka Nijiku, whose calm exterior hides his own fractured soul. He sees her strength, her quiet fury, and the unshakable resolve beneath her gentle eyes. To everyone else, she's a survivor. To him, she's something more - the one person who makes the hell beneath the Sphere feel almost human. But revenge has a price. And in a world where trash becomes weapon, trust becomes dangerous, and love feels like rebellion, (Y/N) must decide - Will she burn the world for her sister's justice, or let someone finally save her before she burns herself alive?

You were born on the rich side, where dirt is a rumor and blood never stains long enough to matter. Your hands stayed clean-not because you were careful, but because the world was. Well your side at least. Jewels weighed your wrists. Safety wrapped your throat like silk. Freedom was handed to you so often it stopped feeling special. You smiled easily. Spoke to anyone. Asked questions people laughed off instead of answering. But the Slums were different. They weren't ugly to you-just unfinished. Like a sentence cut off mid-thought. If we're all human, why is there a gate?

Informations are one of the most powerful things on earth, especially when those are photos. Too bad that those informations could also be dangerous and there are men ready to do anything to obtain or delete them. "Uh? Is that. . .is Mary Poppins clapping some monsters made of trash?!" ". . .you have inhaled too much toxic gas"

I'll come back to add one later :p All the characters except for Xing belongs to the creator Natsu Hyūga. The story beats/ plot points will have slight divergence from the original show.
