Oh Chicago, akin to the Roarin' Twenties, a time of riches, jazz clubs, parties, prostitution, fancying, love, and... mobsters. Yes, mobsters. As boss of the mafia, Jay Bryant is on a mission- a hustle and bustle to find out who murdered his brother in cruel, cold blood. Enter Mayna "May-Day" Dodson, a flapper and bartender with a no-nonsense attitude and a love for the bad boy weilding a Tommy and a fedora. These partners will collide, but under the conditions of a little bloodshed, romance, mystery, and... I almost forgot: always being on the run.

Doin' It Right - [Undertale Mafia/Mob AU | Sans x Reader]
[Frisk's Mother Reader | Slow Burn] Monsters are free, and Frisk is safe and sound at home. It feels like fairy tales are real, though a rough break-up after eight years of marriage quickly sobers that thinking. With the break-up follows a proposal straight out of a steamy novel: share a room with a man you've just met, while you get back on your feet and work on the process of finding a new place to move into. Turns out, the guy who smells like grease and beer from how often he visits Grillby's is a lot less romantic than you would think. And it's precisely living together what gets you to know all the icky things about him. Until you end up falling for him with each nice little thing he does, and suddenly... It feels like all those icky things start to matter less and less. More so, when things take a sharp turn and you're in the middle of a gang fight, helping him however you can despite not knowing what you're signing up for. Overlooking details like bloody clothing, chipped teeth, and reports of missing people on the telly make seeing him drinking straight from the milk carton a much more tolerable offense.
