Tonight is the Twinbucks Masquerade Ball. Nobleman Stanley Twinbucks is hosting a party and political fundraiser for his campaign for a seat on Aizen's council.  Unbeknownst to him and his guests, the Sickle Smile Sisters, a girl gang, plan to rob him of his earnings in criminal fashion.

Last November, ChampionElcid, a writer and my friend proposed writing a short story for me involving my original characters. This short story was inspired by a dancing sketch that I drew featuring two of my oldest ocs: Rin and Marie. We came up with the idea for a heist story that took place during a masquerade ball. I thought Stanley Twinbucks, an upper class oc who I commissioned, would be the perfect target. After a few months of writing and weeks of editing, this short story is the result.

ChampionElcid did most of the writing while I edited this short story. In addition to grammar and narrative progression, I made sure my original characters were properly represented. Honestly, ChampionElcid did a most respected job writing my ocs out, and even improve one of them: Nora Loveguard specifically was written better than how I wrote her first draft. 

I had a lot of a fun working on this short story with ChampionElcid.  They've proven to be creatively talented and receptive. I hope you get a chance to check out their original poems and fanfiction. Their Owl House/Amphibia crossover, "The Owl and the Frog" is most worthy of a read.
 
I'm R-Doll, the creator/artist behind the characters featured in this story. You can check out the ocs featured in this story on my art profile  (https://www.deviantart.com/r-doll) along with other stuff. 

Thank you for reading this story. My friend and I hope this short story impressed you. Give feedback and let us both know how you enjoyed it.

You had been attending the same school for over 15 years, obviously because you were born in the small town in North Carolina. You were living a pretty normal life, till all of the abductions started happening in 1977. But lets go back a bit. Lets go back to the year 1976. You had been on a night shift on November 18th, 1976. There were many more people than your previous shift. Really the only people there were dropouts, druggies, drug dealers, freaks, and alcoholics. All around the ages 14-22. Everybody was pretty chill with eachother, except for a few people, but that was just the minority. You had been zoned out while staring at the clock, then suddenly heard a DING! Some kid wanted to buy some cigarettes again. You looked at him and he said "Jesus kid, you in a mental insitute or something? Snap out of it." you ringed him up after he asked you for a pack of camels, and then looked at a familiar guy playing pinball. The same blonde that got over 100,000 his last time he came. Everybody started hyping him up, so he's trying to beat 100,000. You remember the mess you had to clean up after some kid accidently knocked over a bunch of beer. You like to not think about how it ruined your favorite pair of shoes. He messed up again, and kicked the machine. You yelled out to him "That thing costs money you know." then he looked at you. His face almost looked angelic. But he had been the jerk of your highschool, so he couldn't be that angelic. He looked away and picked at his pockets. He pulled out nothing. He started walking up to you and started asking for a dime. "Come on, I feed you guys this money all the damn time. Plus you will just get it back." "Then maybe don't waste all your money on pinball. We've gained around $200 with you coming here almost everyday. Thanks for that." and then you smiled while picking up your book. He looked at you in anger, then you looked back up at him. He looked like he was in a bad mood. "Here's a dime." you said handing him a dime.

"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you." . . . Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts!

Varg's hand lifted and slammed on the wall right beside my head before he resumed holding my wrist. "They. Took. YOU!" He was looking past me now, his eyes full of rage and fear. "I chose to go-" I started but he cut me off. "I know!" he raged. "That's what makes it worse! Just... stop getting stolen from places! They come and you go and I have to track you, find you, all over again and one day I may not be able to!" "Fine! Then don't!" I was so angry, furious because I felt guilty and I had no idea why. "It's not a god damn choice Princess, it's a COMPULSION!!!" he roared, his voice full of despair and sorrow. "Just tell me where you want to go and we will go. But stop fucking leaving me and disappearing! Where do you want to go, huh? Right now, tell me, and that's where we'll go!" "Is that so?" I laughed bitterly. "You are bound as I am. I cannot escape Mother, but you cannot take me ANYWHERE while Mythros still holds your tether!" --- Highest Held Rankings: #1 in CinderellaPhenomenon #1 in Fritz #1 in Varg I have some canon details but this is primarily about building the relationship between Varg and Lucette (Fritz already had his happy ending and this isn't it.) It also doesn't pick up the story until after the princess awakes from her coma. The first few chapters will cover material from the story but in a slightly different light and with some canon divergence. There will be spoilers. Also, PG-13 does not suit Varg, as far as I am concerned, so expect this to be significantly more explicit than anything in the original once we get into the story a bit. HEED THE TAGS. This is kinky. This has primal smut. It's completely okay if this isn't your thing, but no one gets to be mad about the level or type of kink in this story. You have been forewarned.

⚠️Warning ⚠️ This story contains sexual themes & scenes, physical abuse, verbal & psychological abuse, references to sexual assault, alcoholism, drug abuse, and strong language. Read at your own risk. Viewer discretion is advised. Singer & guitar player, Damien Rifter, is playing a sold out show with his up-and-coming band, Loveless, at the hottest club in the Lust Ring. One of the male pole dancers at the venue catches his eye during the concert. Upon getting to know the dancer, he learns his new love interest is mixed up with a certain purple moth overlord and drama ensues. I suck at summaries. *Damien is 25 & Hell-born; Landry is 23 & a sinner* *Sinners can travel through all Rings of Hell in my story* This story will be HEAVY fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, and smut so if that is not your thing, kindly move along. This story is mostly one of self-indulgence since I have been obsessing over Hazbin/Helluva side characters lately. I am aware the incubus from Helluva for Damien has a canon name and is part of Verosika's crew. I am simply changing his name and giving him my own backstory. Same with the bunny demon from the Poison music video for Landry. Vivziepop owns all rights to Hazbin/Helluva characters, including their inspiration artwork. Loveless is a real band that everyone should check out--they own all rights to song lyrics used in this story. I just liked the name of the band and the lyrics to their song for the sake of story telling.

In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

"This story is WOW!!! How I wished it didn't come to an end!" - chysungal "Did you kidnap me?" he asked. Gigi's eyes widened and she shook her head furiously. "No!" "How did I get here?" he asked, his tone was strong but beads of sweat covered his forehead. His eyes flashed at her. "I heard stealing is common occurrence for you people." Gigi clenched her fists, as heat raced to her cheeks. "We don't-" "I heard tales that you once stole a nobleman's daughter." Her blush deepened down to her collar bone. "We don't capture people. And Lady Brixton left on her own accord." The sailor's gaze remained accusatory. "Do you know who I am?" he demanded. Growing up as an Eldin vagabond, Gigi has lived her life on the outskirts of cities and been regarded as the scum of society, dreaming of a better life she never imagines will be hers. When she saves a young man from drowning and receives news of her uncle's death, these two events send the life she knows on a different course.

"One day you'll be able to best me. Lucky for me that day isn't today." Ivy had wanted to claw his eyes out, "you're a monster." "So is everyone." "Not everyone kills seventeen guards." "You're right, only the strong kill in our world. Too bad we don't live in a fairytale." "Don't dare make me feel insane, it's insane, the world we live in!

You love how loving me makes you feel." "And how does loving you make me feel?" "Like your heart isn't black." "Fair enough." They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....
