Smoke is no longer alive... but he isn't exactly dead. His face is on missing posters in the land of the living and on wanted posters in the afterlife. Those neither dead nor alive are a huge problem for the powers that be in the netherworld. They need someone to finish his transition from life to death before the secret of the afterlife gets out! Rather reluctantly, the powers that be turn to Beetlejuice to capture Smoke... and he's going to take full advantage of the opportunity. //It's a yumeship fic. A music fic at that (kinda? I mean, lotsa references to Alice Cooper's album: "Hey, Stoopid!") Also pretending the sequel doesn't exist. POV switching so, sorry about that. I wanted to. I'm not out here to write something ground-breaking I'm just here to write. Maybe.

Xernic awakens in the Netherrealm with no memories of who he was or the life he once lived. Armed only with strange instincts and abilities he cannot fully understand, he is forced into a world where death is merely another beginning, and every resurrection comes at a cost. The Netherrealm is not a place of redemption. It is a place of judgment. Monsters roam an endless violet wasteland, forgotten souls cling to fragments of their past, and survival demands far more than strength. Every choice tests the body, the mind, and the soul. Every victory reveals another truth better left buried. Alongside the mysterious veteran Hestia, Xernic struggles to survive while piecing together the shattered remains of his identity. Yet the more he learns, the more unsettling his own existence becomes. His instincts grow sharper, his path deepens, and memories he cannot understand begin to surface-memories of chains, slavery, and a freedom that may never have existed. In the Netherrealm, the greatest enemy is not always the beast before you. Sometimes... it is the person you used to be.

Marcus Drago is twelve years old. He goes to school. He loves his mother. He occasionally gets catastrophically bored. And, like most twelve-year-old boys, he has ideas. Unfortunately for Heaven, Hell, and occasionally Earth, Marcus is not most twelve-year-old boys. His father is Lucifer Morningstar, King of Hell. His grandfather is God. His extended family includes angels, demons, and several celestial beings who really should know better than to encourage him. And Marcus? Marcus is the Antichrist. According to prophecy, he's supposed to grow up, embrace his destiny, and become one of the most terrifying beings Creation has ever known. There is just one small problem. Marcus has absolutely no interest in ending the world. He does, however, have a lot of other ideas. Ideas about how Hell could be improved. Ideas about whether eternal punishment has become unnecessarily boring. Ideas involving demons, celestial magic, historical monsters, and what constitutes a perfectly reasonable number of cats. His father would prefer that he stop having ideas altogether. His mother would settle for him thinking them through before acting on them. Heaven has learned that silence usually means Marcus is planning something. Hell has learned to evacuate first and ask questions later. And Marcus is slowly learning that being the son of Lucifer isn't really about prophecy, power, or deciding the fate of mankind. It's about deciding what kind of person he wants to become. Preferably without giving his father an aneurysm. The Chronicles of a Young Antichrist is a supernatural fantasy comedy about family, free will, Heaven, Hell, growing up with entirely too much power-and one twelve-year-old boy discovering that destiny is considerably less interesting than whatever idea he just had. Heaven calls him the Antichrist. Hell calls him the Crown Prince. His mother calls him Marcus. Lucifer usually just calls for backup.

My debut Ln, in which the protagonist Satoshi Katsurou goes through a seemingly ordinary death. Expecting to be reincarnated in heaven, he ends up in an afterlife that is just as harsh as the real world. Waking up in the afterlife Katsurou finds himself in a world where Death actively performs compassion, a son racing to godhood, and a daughter who can perceive what seems to be infinite possibilities. The divine family carries the weight of the world they destroy and nurture simultaneously, a world that they could destroy should they be off by a mere milliseconds. This story isn't your typical power fantasy nor is it entirely polished, the first couple of chapters are a deterrent but the later chapters (90+) are what makes this story worth investing in!

Myra has never believed in spirits. She certainly doesn't believe in Eya, the mysterious FirstHeart said to have given life to all living beings. Nor does she believe in Guardians, wandering spirits, or the Silent Door waiting at the end of every life. Not anymore. After losing both of her parents without the promised farewell of the Parting Light, Myra has learned to trust only what she can see, what she can understand, and what she can control. Then, one ordinary day, she sees someone who should not be there. Adrian. A man she remembers from years ago. A man who insists he may be dead. Except Adrian isn't dead. As Myra is reluctantly drawn into a world of lingering spirits, unfinished farewells, and secrets hidden behind an ancient belief she once abandoned, she begins to discover that death is not always the end-and staying is not always an act of love. Some souls remain because they cannot let go. Some remain because someone else cannot. And somewhere beyond the Silent Door lies a truth Myra has spent years refusing to hear: Sometimes, loving someone means holding on. Sometimes, it means letting them go.
