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.
AU by me, @lakeey10, and @miilkyun (who also designed the incredible cover!) on discord

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![30 Day OTP Challenge [AmeriPan]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/137151922-256-k312282.jpg)

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... This is chapter one
Though you annoy me, I'll take your hand in mine any day
DISCLAIMER THIS WAS WRITTEN & CONCLUDED LONG BEFORE S3 ENDED, AND LONG BEFORE II S2 EPISODE 16. SOME THINGS MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH HOW THINGS WRAPPED UP THERE. KEEP THAT IN MIND MePhone 4 ends up hurting himself, and OJ has to keep an eye on him while he recovers, so he doesn't cause any trouble for the hotel, but as they spend time together, the two end up growing closer. This technically takes place post-canon, since s3 contestants will be mentioned in the hotel cover art by me characters belong to animationepic & the web series inanimate insanityComplete
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!
