OJ's hotel has been absolutely BOOMING lately.
And that kind of success was... hard to manage, to say the least. Especially since OJ couldn't seem to find a good assistant to help out with things. He'd tried, sure, but all of them just... fell flat in one way or another.
So imagine his surprise when Steve Cobs, the CEO of Meeple Inc., offered to BUILD one for him.
Well... who was he to turn down the offer of a lifetime?
[Robot Paper AU! TW: Themes of implied/reference @bus3 will be scattered throughout the chapters.

Burnout - An Inanimate Insanity Fanfic
**WARNING! STORY CONTAINS THEMES OF ABUSE, SELF HARM, AND GENERAL VIOLENCE** Balloon's finally welcomed into Hotel OJ. After months of convincing and praying, he's finally out of the rain and living with the hotel denizens. As the days pass, he slowly grows to recognize something: OJ's acting off. No one seems to notice it but him. He asks the others about it, but they just brush him aside. So it's up to Balloon to find and fix the problem! How will this story unfold?Complete![Shattered Glass [an Inanimate Insanity au]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/374052956-256-k248557.jpg)
Shattered Glass [an Inanimate Insanity au]
Brain damage can drastically change a person. It can turn a kind, outgoing human being, into an rude, arrogant jerk. But can this happen to an artificial intelligence? Can a robot designed to be passive, get so damaged it develops violent tendencies? Mephone does his best to appease Cobs, but it seems his best is never enough. Everything he does brings nothing but disappointment. Usually the punishments for his mediocrity are relatively tame. But one day, in a drunk fit of rage, Cobs goes too far. And the result? Mephone finds himself battling overwhelming, violent desires he's never had before. Overtime they only become more and more irresistible. He struggles not to act on them, but he's only so strong.Complete
Taking Over | inanimate insanity x y/n
Cobs wants to take over the world. Typical. Hes already began part of his plan, but there is still one thing standing in his way, and that thing happens to be Mephone4, since he is his only disobedient creation who is aware of his plans. His plan is to create a robot that can teleport anything to anywhere. Emphasisd on the "anywhere" part. What happens when Cobs's robot malfunctions and instead sends randomly-chosen residents of Hotel OJ to the human realm? How will they stop Cobs once and for all? How will they return? Can they get back home? • • • this is my first fanfic so I apologize if it's not the best lol :)
Rock Bottom || Bkdk fanfic
A (kinda) slow burn BKDK story that takes place after the epilogue of MHA. After Bakugo spends his whole life competing Izuku to be the best, they both land at rock bottom, or at least it feels that way to Bakugo. Growing up Bakugo attained feelings for the nerd, but his reaction to it was always anger. After Izuku becomes a teacher and rejects Bakugo's offer to join his agency even after all the work Bakugo, Iida, Shoto, and Uraraka put in to save up for a suit for him with Bakugo behind it all, Bakugo is left devastated. And it gets worse when videos and rumors start going around that the hero Uravity and Deku might now be dating. Was it possible that Bakugo took too long to tell Izuku how he really felt? Was there any way he could forgive his two best friends for being together? Find Out! This is not the best of my works by far. Please go check out my other stuff! You can read this, too, though. There's nothing stopping you ⚠️ Warnings ⚠️ -Swearing -Mention of sex -Homophobia (it's a very slight re-accruing theme, but don't worry because it gets dealt with) -Graphic Violence (I will not be putting warning when it comes to this, because you are a MhA fan and should be used to this) -Smut (it only happens once or twice in the last few chapters) -Awfully written smut lol -When there is something that could be triggering, I will put a warning!

From the Start...(PAYJAY FANFIC)
OJ and Paper have loved eachother for awhile now. Known it from the Start. But now, They are both trying the hardest to tell how they really feel but theres that constant fear that one is mad at the other. Omg, Will one EVER confess?? (COVER ART BY PRETTY BOY CENTRAL ON TUMBLR)Complete
Frozen Up (An ii AU)
(The cover is from @shyArtistPerson and the Story inspiration from @shyArtistPerson) After inanimate insanity ended, OJ used the 1 million dollars to build a hotel. where he can work, where people stay and the home of the contestants of ii... Except for one. Balloon was a fragile person... Literally. He would get injuries out of anything... And I mean... Anything. He gets bullied by it, so his pent up rage was released on the other contestants it was also his strategy. After getting eliminated he was sorry for everything... Even the things he isn't to blame for. But after OJ built the hotel he excluded balloon for the reason of "you are a jerk" and "you w1ill be the same person no matter what". He then told him to never step foot here again... But the thing is... It was winter so he would have been... all alone and filled with wrath...

Always There, Never Theirs. (KinnPorsche ff)
Big had always known his place. Watching from the sidelines. Yearning for a love he knew would never be his. And sure, he told himself he was fine with it. (He wasn't. But he was coping. Shut up.) Then Porsche showed up; loud, reckless, glittering with chaos, and turned Big's entire world upside down. Big could've handled being ignored. He'd made peace with being second best. But being used by the two people he cherished most? Thrown into the spotlight not out of love, but out of convenience? Now Big doesn't know what to do with all this hurt. Or, retelling of KinnPorsche through Big's eyes but make it a omegaverse and polyamorous unhinged gay-fest Cross posted on ao3 under the same name.
Bittersweet Laughter
Trophy was paired with Tissues last year in Hotel OJ because of "budget cuts", which made Trophy miserable. Now it's time for him to get a new roommate. This is going to be hell for him. WARNING- Gay, Fluff, Angst, Mentions of SH and abuse, Trauma, Shipping. This is probably really bad because it's my first fanfiction.. This is a AU (also a human au), and will probably be a bit cringy. I'm sorry 💔✌️ #2 on inanimate insanity! THANK YOU FOR 7K READS!!!!!!!!!Complete
