Summary
In a city like Gotham, information is currency. And you've made a career out of getting people to talk.
Not by force. Not with threats. Just a salon chair, a mirror, and the kind of silence that makes people fill it with secrets. Affairs. Deals. Who’s moving into which block. Who’s gone missing. Who’s about to.
You’re not a vigilante. You don’t wear a mask. You just know when something’s about to crack - and lately, Gotham’s been humming like a live wire.
And you weren’t supposed to matter. Not to anyone.
And especially not to the man who just blew up a bar because you said it gave you a bad feeling.

Summary
Minho had it all: a rich boyfriend, a flawless wardrobe, an untouchable reputation, and a brunch reservation for every day of the week. But when he finds out his boyfriend might be less loyal than his stylist, the perfect life starts to unravel.
Chan is handsome, reliable, and disgustingly wealthy — but cheating tends to ruin even the best relationships. Seungmin is a sharp-tongued genius with eyes that make promises and threaten sanity. And Changbin… well, Changbin isn’t rich, isn’t from their world, and only got into the group because he hit on Hyunjin — and Hyunjin liked it. But for some reason, Minho can’t quite look away.
Caught between luxury parties, gossip disguised as charity, and emotional crises in silk robes, Minho tries to hold it together. But when drama comes from three different directions, not even the best anti-aging cream can help.
He just wanted peace. Instead, he got Chan, Seungmin, and Changbin.

Summary
Starting a new job after finishing uni was never going to be easy. He knew it from the start, going from France to going back to Japan after so many years was already going to be a struggle, and now he had to get used to living alone without a stream of people coming in and out of his dorm at all times of the day.
For chuuya, social interaction was a must, but it was difficult to keep his temper most of the time, so his goal for this year was to settle down, get used to his new life and maybe make some friends if he could stomach it, but his new co workers weren't going to make it a walk in the park.
Dazai was bored. Bored of life, bored of piles and piles of documents and most of all bored of the lack of entertainment.
Okay, maybe the piles were his fault, but kunikida never bothered to make anything interesting around here, he was practically starving for some entertainment.
Lucky for him, apparently a new person was joining his team. Fresh meat. If this person wasn't interesting enough, he might as well hurl himself off the top story of the building that caused him so much annoyance. No one would miss him anyway.

Summary
July, 1991
When 21-year-old Stephanie—an aspiring writer spending the summer with her uncle, director John Landis—steps onto the set of Michael Jackson’s Black or White short film, she has no idea her life is about to change forever. Quiet, observant, and refreshingly real, Stephanie doesn’t see the King of Pop... she sees the man behind the spotlight. And Michael? He’s instantly captivated by the one woman who isn’t trying to impress him.
As sparks fly and hearts begin to stir, a slow-burning love story unfolds—one built on laughter, trust, and the healing power of being truly seen. But in a world of flashing cameras and whispered expectations, can something this real survive?
A tender, emotional, and heart-melting romance that proves sometimes, the greatest lyrics are written between the lines.

No way… she had lived far too long to believe in coincidences when it came to her. Across her many lives, she had questioned everything, analyzing patterns and possibilities. She once thought Azula was special—was it because she was the only original female character? Or because she was the only one that wasn’t from an anime? But being Alastor ruled out the second option, and nothing ever changed with Azula. Maybe it was a rule of seven—seven transmigrations, seven letters in the name… Was this her final life? It would be eternal if she never died.
So, what made her seventh transmigration so special… what made being the Radio Demon something different from the others?

Summary
What would have happened if Kiryu had stayed on as the Fourth Chairman? Besides, Yumi survives here. And I'm sure you can imagine what that means...
But Majima will also be around, continuing this strange relationship that Kiryu and he have... whatever that is.Basically, it's a *VERY* long fic, reimagining every scene, exploring their relationship in depth (from how it started to when they're already an established couple, with the typical couple problems).
**Since this fic is quite long, I wanted to add more information in case someone doesn't want to waste their time. (This will be in the notes in the first chapter of the fic. It was too long and I couldn't add it here D:)
*** The tag for "implied past rape/non-con": It's open to interpretation. Like in the game, I won't make it clear that it happened, but some people might read it that way, and others might read it as he was just tortured. Majima doesn't remember so just pick the version you prefer, but the tag will be there for those who can be triggered by the implication.
Either way, Majima is traumatized and will have to deal with his trauma, so keep that in mind.
