No one ever hears about the bars in this quiet city. With their lackluster music and party scene, the only highlight that they all share is the drinks at their bars, which seem to be tended by one bartender. Whenever there is a patron at a bar, wracked with guilt over what could've happened or has happened, the one bartender mixes a special drink to soothe the hearts of his heart-torn patrons.

Death, Shaken Not Stirred by Van_Carley

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐓𝐰𝐨 | 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 There's a place downtown where frosty pints of beer overflow, and wine stains the lips of whispering lovers under flickering chandelier light. If you tip the bartender generously, he'll slide over a free cocktail, but be careful, it might be kissed with a bitter death. Lucas Santiago is a bartender at Penthouse, a high-end nightclub in San Francisco. On the outside, he's your average good-looking guy who takes care of his parents, protects his sisters, and dotes on his nibling. But Lucas has a secret. Order a special drink at the bar, and it's the magic word to hire him as a hitman. However, Lucas has standards and will only accept contracts that are low-risk or serve the greater good. When he crosses paths with Hazel, a battered wife, he can't help but want to break all his rules for the woman with sad, honey-colored eyes. The trouble is, she's involved in a sticky web that might cost him everything--including his life.

A city is a living thing, and like all living things, it has its own rhythm. A rhythm doesn't exist unless it is heard or felt. It's heard by a bartender who can't contain her curiosity. It's felt by two people who can't decide if they hate each other or not. Like the beat of a heart. Or the blows of a boxer. You get the picture. So even on the days off, two souls that pulse in tandem can't help but beat together, whether they like it or not. > Persona 2: Eternal Punishment > Baofu/Ulala Serizawa > Explicit > Canon Compliant > Dysfunctional > Frenemies with Benefits to Lovers > Two broken people with drunken feelings have two awful encounters and one good one Mirroring my fic from Archive of Our Own.

She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."
