crime fantasy heist mystery romance steampunk victorian yandere

In a world stuck in the industrial revolution, the world advances in steam powered machines. With a widowed matriarch, a playboy lord from another city, and two surrogate siblings living a life of crime, the city of Steamwood's future hangs in the balance.

A steampunk story full of twists, turns, and a bit of romance.
Includes yandere-like behaviour.

This is a pilot story; in an effort to motivate me to finish these stories I have decided take audience feedback.

Yandere Online! | Male! Yandere x Anxious! Reader | by Pocolota

You never felt the need to listen to those corny internet safety PSAs. Everything felt more or less straightforward: don't talk to creeps, don't give out personal information, don't do anything stupid. You were convinced that as long as you kept a level-headed mindset, you'd never have to worry about the supposed dangers of the virtual world. That was the case, until you met the user, "Kitty". What once started as a blossoming online friendship, full of laughter, gifs, emoticons and love hearts, soon unravels into an unending nightmare of stalking, obsession and murder. As public concerns draw toward sightings of an obscure masked killer, you find yourself in the midst of a deadly, lovesick pursuit. Maybe you should have paid more attention to those PSAs after all... ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀɪɴꜱ: ‣ Male Yandere ‣ Gender-neutral/any gender reader ‣ Multiple choices/multiple endings ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ The character on the cover was illustrated by @/ Yo_akame on instagram!

The Stranger and The Knight by StarsandInk

You yearned for a more interesting life. Or at least a break from the constant cycle of waking up just to go to work and university classes that you've dealt with for the last two years. On your day off, you stumble inside an abandoned house in the woods and wake up in a ravished world that is slowly being consumed by the embodiment of destruction. With your only means of survival being a Sentinel Unit automaton and your own determination, you must traverse through this forsaken land and defeat the evil plaguing this world in hopes of returning home.
