GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

201X. Why the "X"? That's because little Frisk wasn't quite the best at counting. And the calendar over their bed was about three years (five years?) too old. They DID know how old they were, though, and they didn't really have the tact to care about much else regarding numbers. Much less the number of people that weren't around anymore. Who knew how long ago it was now, but Frisk still remembered when the orphanage was filled with tons of other kids (most of which avoided them entirely.) Now, since the surface went through nuclear fallout, they were surprisingly one of the few people in the world to survive. Sure, they knew there had to be tons more, but still - when everyone who used to be around just stopped all at once, you really had to learn how to take care of yourself. And they did. One morning, while out on a supplies run, they must've made a wrong turn or something, because they ended up falling down a mountain. And apparently, monsters DO exist, and they're in a bit of trouble themselves. A disease called the "Black Mold" has broken out over the entirety of the Underground, killing off almost all of those unfortunate enough to catch it. Monsters are sick, dying, or long gone already, and nothing will ever be the same as it was before the illness contaminated the monster king, Asgore, leading to his untimely demise. With the cause (or cure) of the disease still unknown and highly contagious, along with no hierarchy left to lead what's left of the monster race, there's only so much a dying kingdom can do. However, Frisk's big heart finds a need to go and try to make things better for the monsters. Little do they know how sad, angry, and dead the Underground is, these days... Welcome to Devastale.

It's gonna be angsty bois. Sorry. Also told from Katsuki's pov, which is kind of new for me. Also, no quirks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We close our eyes, blind our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown Katsuki Bakugou moved from his home town when he was ten. He was ten when he moved, so he didn't exactly have anyway to keep in contact with his 'friends'. Eventually they all just seemed to fade into an empty memory. Except for one boy. He couldn't quite remember his name, but he remembered his unruly green hair and obnoxious freckles. Katsuki had no clue why this boy in particular stood out to him, but he was determined to find him again and get to the bottom of it. Now that he was seventeen and moving back to that same little town he grew up in, he can actually seek out the boy. But the boy doesn't seem to want to be found, at least not by Katsuki. Every time the blond thinks he's about to catch him, the boy slips through his grasp. With Katsuki's nonstop searching... will he like what he finds? ******Trigger Warnings****** Heavy bullying Mentions of self harm Mentions of suicide I think that's it but if anything else comes up I'll add to the list. There will also be warnings at the top of chapters that contain triggers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AHHHHH I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK.
