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.

My Key Item (Joker X Futaba) Persona 5 Royal by Rydernort
26 parts Complete Mature
After months of getting to know and love Futaba Sakura, knowing that she is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with, it's all ripped away by one man. Takuto Maruki has decided that people cannot be allowed to think for themselves, and that they should never have to feel pain, well, unless you interfere with his plan. After being thoroughly trounced by the Phantom Thieves, Maruki makes one last ditch attempt to break the theives, and kills Futaba. In his blind rage, Akira Kurusu, otherwise known as Joker takes matters into his own hands, and stops the mad God in his tracks. Time reverts to its original self, with Akechi dead and gone and Maruki and Futaba alive and well, and Akira in Juvinile Detention. After being freed from prison, he finds out that something went wrong when the timeline was restored. Futaba knows him not as her lover, but merely as his friend. Now Akira must find a way to cope with this new life in Hometown, while trying to juggle the return of the Metaverse, and Futaba tries to find her way through the complex feelings she has for Joker, but can't quite explain, as well as the dreams that almost feel like memories. Will she push through and recover her memories and her love? Or will she and Akira both fade into the Mementos of what they have lost. I took a couple liberties with events and the Timeline, but overall, I stayed fairly close to the original game's story. This is a passion project that sprung to mind while driving, and now I'm hyperfixated... Welp, time to churn out a book. ENJOY READING IT!!

The Devils In Our Deeds by TheCosmicTraveller
5 parts Ongoing Mature
An AU of the series Chainsaw Man with the main character Denji replaced by my popular cosmic traveling OC named James Ann Russomanno Da Sicilia. Currently posted on Wattpad, Webnovel, and in the process of being published on Royal Road (If my request is finally accepted..) Always in search of adventure and intriguing opportunities, our seemingly young man finds himself in the world shared by humanity and Devils. After dispatching the Zombie Devil, James meets a mysterious but strangely alluring woman by the name of Makima. A generous offer is made to defend the public from Devils, to which he is unknowingly sucked into a span of time that will test his sanity. This idea comes from the thought of having a more sophisticated and compassionate character take the main stage, able to have proper conversation and make genuine bonds. The chaotic ideas swirling in my mind have inspired me to explore the depths of character connections, particularly branching out from Denji. For instance, Himeno is an intriguing character, yet her departure prevents a deeper bond from forming with Denji. While her tragic end adds weight to the narrative, James, in contrast, thrives on forging connections, and I envision meaningful conversations between him and her before the end. To counterbalance the despair, he will also experience lighter, more wholesome moments with the vibrant cast-some surprises await! This opens up vast possibilities for the story. Lives that seem lost may be saved, while others that appear secure could be taken away. New scenes could emerge to enrich the lore of The Cosmic Traveler. I eagerly anticipate this journey through action, tragedy, morality, manipulation, betrayal, and the complexities of a world where humanity and Devils inevitably clash around one man with the power to either cultivate peace or unleash controlled chaos.

Formerly called 'Withered' Highest Ranking as of 5/18/2018: #5 in Matureaudience; 12/7/2018: #3 in ied I gulped as his hand cupped my jaw, "Tell me River. Are you scared of me?" He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together. River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most. Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be. But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?
