    The last memory that came was so mortifying Jennie resolved to not remember anything else. It wasn't even the fact that it ended with her chundering in the pub toilets, but what had led her there: spotting a spring of mistletoe across the pub, pinned to the beamed ceiling. Jennie cringed as the lightbulb moment popped into her head as suddenly and clearly as it had the night before. Perfect, she remembered thinking elatedly. An excuse to kiss Lisa with no ramifications. What a brilliant Christmas tradition. What a fantastic, foolproof plan. ©️ story not mine, this is an adaptation. credits to the original author of this story.

    When Gucci the Ancient Devil scrambled to hide his books and videos, he forgot something critical. That his fellow actors would have copies as well. And said copies were making their way to the Demon Kingdom...not if Machio Hiraku the "normal human" has anything to say about it. Time to help out this Devil King...and gain more than he bargained for. Machio Hiraku x Gucci. Machio Hiraku x all canon wives and lovers as well as women who are not explicitly stated to be his wives or lovers in canon. CHUUNI OVERLOAD!!!

    Essentially a partial, slightly anachronistic recap to the events of Isekai Nonbiri Nouka in Gucci's POV. Of course, not official. I added some scenes to canon events, too. Prologue to Gotta Get Gucci (Gucci's POV). Pre-relationship. Pre-slash. Stream of consciousness.

    What would you do if your worst enemy broke your only rule? And what would you do if your frienemy won't speak to you because of it? ~ Nathaniel "Nate" Quinn and Samuel "Sam" Watson are the pinnacle of Brookfell Academy excellence. For the past five years, they've been locked in battle of teasing and one upmanship to the joy and entertainment of the student body. They have one rule - they don't mess with friends and family. This is between them and them alone. So when Nate breaks their rule by accident on Brookfell's 'Family Night', everything falls apart. Sam shuts him out with quiet vigor, their rivalry dead to him. Nate, desperate for their back-and-forth to return, proposes something drastic: to make things right, Nate will be at Sam's whim for a month, doing anything and everything he says within reason. Sam begrudgingly accepts, with serious consequences if Nate fails. And as their arrangement plays out, and Brookfell Academy gets let out for winter break, the line between 'rival' and whatever they could've been starts to blur. As high heels, snowstorms, and music pass between them, it becomes apparent that their feelings have been ignored or left unchecked, and things start bubbling to the surface. ~ All rights reserved.
