There was nothing more fundamentally fascinating to Oliver than the gray area, and from what he'd heard of it, his new workplace, Shady Cove research facility, was the very pinnacle of moral ambiguity. Even its name implied questionable antics. 
While some had a moral compass, Oliver Blanc had a 'meddle needle.' He aimed wherever his 'meddle needle' pointed, and followed the direction it led him in until his curiosity was satisfied. As marvelously exciting as Harvard was, the moment Shady Cove had been mentioned, his meddle needle had found a new direction. There was no higher tier to reach than Shady Cove. 
No higher tier... and yet no lower one.

Rated mature primarily for language and mild sexual implications.

44 parts Complete Mature
! Wally AU credits: @Xscapee ! Go support their work ! "Why do you need me here, Dr. Darling? Tell me the truth." "Because I could never imagine my life without you in it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You had everything you could've needed. Two loving fathers, a happy home, a job harvesting crops for your small village, everything was fine until you were taken into captivity as a test subject for the Rainbow Factory, a company that secretly used living and nonliving beings and drained the color out of them to create rainbows. All for the best, all hidden deep in a forest. After being in captivity for a few days, having seen enough, you decided to take a new route. You faced the head scientist himself, Dr. Walden Darling, and demanded life. "Join me, and you'll never have to worry about death again." You were given the chance to become the head scientist's assistant, and you immediately took the job if it meant saving your life. Working with Wally was no walk in the park, and just being in the factory drained you and killed you inside. So with hidden help, you decided to escape. And perhaps, one day, destroy the factory for good. ! TW: human test subjects, employee x boss relationship, moderate swearing, moderate intimacy, trauma, gore, violence, child death, suicide !

𝓟𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓼 ➤ "𝑰 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑰 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑺𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆." Paris Delaney had always known he was different. From a young age, he was diagnosed as a psychopath, with a propensity for violence and manipulation that set him apart from his peers. While most children were learning to share and play nicely, Paris was already plotting his next move, studying the world around him with an intensity that bordered on madness. Sable, on the other hand, was the epitome of normalcy. She exuded kindness and compassion in everything she did, her innocence shining through even in the darkest of times. But she couldn't escape Paris's gaze; he watched her from afar for years, his obsession with her growing stronger each day. And yet she accepted him with little hesitation when he finally emerged from the shadows, embracing his twisted ways as if they were just another part of who he was. As they embarked on their tumultuous journey together, Sable struggled to reconcile Paris's dark side with her own emotions. She found herself torn between fear and fascination, repulsion and intrigue. But no matter how chaotic their lives became or how troubled his family proved to be, Sable stood by Paris's side unwaveringly - for she knew that beneath the mask of a psychopath lay a glimmer of humanity that only she could see.

I never saw myself writing an x reader, but here I am. I don't care about the whole Y/N complications. There will be no physical characteristics implied aside from Wally being taller than you. I want everyone to be able to immerse themselves in this story, including people who aren't women, people who have differing skin tones. A lot of x readers have very specific main characters. I'm not here for a self insert. I'm here for you. Although, I will take the creative liberty to tell you that your name is now Neighbor. (no, NOT Darling. Suck it up, simps, I'll feed you at some point. you'll get your fill.) Any and all honorifics are going to be gender-neutral. --SYNOPSIS-- You have been working at the Rainbow Factory for a few years now, and your routine is like clockwork. Too much like clockwork. Your wanderlust and enthusiasm for life has faded into a routinely emotionless shell, the only things coming out of your mouth a "Yes, sir," and a "I'm on it." Your boss, Wally Darling, has recently began to assign you more and more lab work. The most recent one was to carry out an experiment.
