Once school is over, Michael Zlataroff finds himself in an apartment too big for him to live in alone. He settles for putting one of his bedroom for rent, so he could have at least someone to talk to, even if that someone is a serial killer. He is surprised to see that it's not a psychopath looking for their next prey, but a walking zombie that poses as Jacques Beaumont. He lets him in and tries to pretend like he doesn't recognize him, so that he could finally be friends with the man that he had a schoolgirl crush on.
Shitty at best is a story about all the ups and downs in life. About how at one point you have everything and the next - you have nothing. It's about how at the end - everything comes together and sorts itself out. In most cases at least.

Cross the stars with me
"In a word I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong" Charles Dickens, Great Expectations. I'm a textbook pessimist and I like it just the way it is. Eynal is a highborn boy who has whatever he could need to be happy but his outlook on life plagues him at every turn, obsessed by the notion that existence is entirely pointless living in his own world void of anything remotely positive he turns a blind eye to anything that is expected of him, but forces beyond him thrust an entirely new situation upon him that he fails to navigate with his usual indifference will he adapt and change as expected? or will he find a way to cast it aside as he always has. This story is based around medieval fantasy with some inspiration from the classics (Lotr, GOT) it will navigate the personal lives of two characters who are polar opposites and an increasingly fragile political situation in the world they live in *this is my first time ever writing something so if i suck please dont bully me XD*Complete
In Love with Mr. Oblivious
Haphephobia (haf-uh-FOE-bee-uh) is an intense, overwhelming fear of being touched. Many people don't like being touched by strangers. But haphephobia is significant distress over being touched by anyone, even family or friends. For some people, the fear is specific to touch by people of one gender. The fear of touch has chased Lan Wangji ever since he was torn away from his mother at the age of four. That was the day his parents separated. That is the last time he saw his mother alive. Now at the age of thirteen, Lan Wangji (one who is aloof to the world) lives in the library of the Lan Mansion. He is extremely well read, agoraphobic and homeschooled. He has a perfect 10 score, a perfectly groomed body, a perfectly organized room. Some would call him OCD. His doctor does. But according to his family's standards OCD is normal. On his doctor's suggestion, his uncle Lan Qiren decided to try exposure therapy to cure both of his phobias and thereby sends him to the Jianshu School of Gifted Children. Lan Wangji sits at the last bench, eats food at the corner table and only interacts with teachers that too when his name is called. Things change when the most mischievous boy in class is late one day, sits at the last bench crowding Lan Wangji's space, takes his pen, and thanks him by patting his hand. The result- no anxiety attack, no hyperventilation, no fainting, no hives. Lan Wangji is intrigued and therein starts his next obsession- Making Wei Wuxian His. This is a Prequel to 'Married to My Secret Billionaire Stalker'. If you haven't read the book, you can read this as a starting point. If you have read the book, expect this one to be as much fun if not more. Yes, things are going to get a bit intense because in Wei Wuxian's words Lan Wangji is the most intense person he knows. But then again, it is also going to be fun because it is still them, just much younger and plenty more oblivious.Complete

Drunken Mistake
Wei Wuxian, the adopted son of the Jiangs was the perfect candidate to shoulder the blame for the large scale privacy breach in the client data that could have had the Jiangs bankrupt and subject to multiple lawsuit if the old Mr. Jiang did not think on his feet and had Wei Wuxian charged and thrown out of the company. As the chief computer engineer in the software development company he was the perfect scapegoat. Wei Wuxian found himself on the streets, homeless, jobless, and free after nineteen years of slavery at the Jiang household. However with a ruined reputation, and the threat of lawsuits hanging on his head, he was hardly in a position to celebrate. For that day alone he decided to head to a bar near his erstwhile office where the barman informed him that drinks were on the house and he decided to get drunk for the first time in his life. Life had fucked him and for once he didn't mind, till he woke up the next day, in a strange bed and aching all over. Lan Wangji met him when he was fourteen and had pushed him away. When he crashed into Mo Xuanyu in a shopping mall, he knew it was the same boy who had made him realize his sexuality. But Mo Xuanyu was oblivious to him. When he broke up with his girlfriend, Lan Wangji laid a trap for him at his favorite bar, hoping to seduce him while he was drunk enough to give him a chance. But the man who got caught in the trap turned out to be his lookalike while Mo Xuanyu got together with his enemy's son. Lan Wangji asked the drunk stranger what his perfect revenge should be, and he suggested that he should go fuck someone else and that's exactly what Lan Wangji did. #1 in WangxianComplete
