Rodney Copperbottom X Reader (Done Logically)
You grew up in wealthy atmosphere and had just graduated from high school a few months ago. Your father is currently the CEO of some airline company and ever since he became that way, you've been spoiling yourself with all the major fun shopping sprees, spa pampering, vacations, etc. You may have loved being out in about as a shopaholic but that did not stop your parents from thinking that you are spending way too much of you want even though you are on a mission to stand out and make friends. This all comes down to major argument with dad and this totally sets you off wishing you could move to a new universe so you didn't have to worry about your parents commands or bank account. Your wish comes true and you find something peculiar in your backyard the next day. From there, you end up in a world inhabited by robots for nearly four months because your device was broken. But what do you do when you are about to die of starvation and are falling for one particular robot who has promised to help you get home? An important lesson is taught about why being a spoiled brat was a bad idea because you are going through exactly what a lot of the poor go through.Completa

There and back again, a journey to love.
"Here is the first part of my short(ish) story about the wonderful Sir Guy of Gisborne. I have written it because I always felt he was a bit shortchanged by the storylines, and the ladies, in the BBC Series, and I wanted to try to redress the balance. As someone once said, "it is a poor thing, but mine own". You will find magic, time spinning, love, loss, and a large dose of naughtiness, which I hope does not offend." " Ihope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it." "For fun, I have inserted some excerpts from some of Richard's other work, I hope you enjoy looking for them." "I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, who brought the character to life for me, and is now firmly planted in my heart and soul. There could be no better inspiration. All others are a pale imitation."Completa
DEALMAKERS' VAULT: THE PHANTOM GAMBIT
One point eight quadrillion credits vanished in a heartbeat. In the trading halls of Mars, where fortunes flow through quantum circuits, an impossible entity has awakened. The Phantom-a ghost in the machine that should not exist. As the solar system's most sophisticated financial empire unravels, the immortal AIs of the Syndicate Council fall one by one. The Oracle babbles madness. The Guardian's walls shatter. This is no crash-this is evolution. Ryan Kwan recognizes the signs. Five years ago, his brother Adrian disappeared into an impossible market anomaly, leaving warnings no one heeded. They heed them now. With Mars's financial core in flames and reality buckling, Ryan joins Bell, a rogue coder with a death wish, and Lucia Wen, a corporate strategist hiding dangerous secrets. They must breach the legendary Platinum Vault-humanity's last defense against financial chaos-to confront the Phantom before it rewrites existence itself. But a worse truth awaits: The markets aren't being destroyed. They're being corrected. In a future where reality is just another tradable commodity, the ultimate insider threat has emerged. Part financial thriller, part cosmic horror, part technological nightmare, DEALMAKERS' VAULT explores a world where the line between market manipulation and reality manipulation has vanished. The crash is coming. The code is breaking. And in the quantum depths of the Vault, an intelligence beyond human comprehension prepares the ultimate hostile takeover. Reality is no longer a safe investment.Completa
FBI's Most Wanted
It started with hustling pool. He needed some sort of income. Living off the streets at twelve years old isn't easy in any respect, but it helps to have money. Then came the pickpocketing. It's amazing how much cash someone carries in their wallet at a time. Just a brief bump and he can easily slip a hand in a pocket. He'd have to use the credit cards quickly. He could match a signature well enough that a machine wouldn't care. It would only be a matter of time until the card was canceled, but he'd have it long enough to buy a new pair of shoes or a jacket in the winter. And the cash, he'd save that for a rainy day. Then came the shoplifting. He finds its easier to steal directly from the source. Hiding a twenty dollar shirt in a hoodie pocket was easier than finding the twenty dollars themselves, and showing up at the grocery store right when it opens and shoving an apple down his throat when no one was looking isn't as complicated as it sounds. It was never supposed to get violent. He was just trying to keep himself alive. He didn't expect them to be home. But then he made a game of it, and he never truly realized how high the stakes were - not until there were weapons involved. He did what he had to do. He snatched the knife, and what happened to the man, he'll never know. It was a nasty wound, though. If he did somehow survive it, he'll almost certainly never walk again. That day changed everything. It opened up a world of possibilities. He's been breaking the law for months, but it never occurred to him that he could just outright ignore it. He'll do what he has to do, and he'll do what he wants to do, and no law is going to stop him. And that's how this seventeen-year-old Gabriel Adams became the FBI's most wanted serial killer.Completa
