Summary
Joel Beans, 17 years old, was your typical trailer trash “bad boy”. He's lived in the trailer park for his whole life, his parents aren't bad, they're just a struggling family. With his two best friends, his childhood crush, his ex fling, and his rival, can he really survive junior year?

Summary
Joel Beans is tired of life. He's been floating through mist for five years, no end in sight. So when his longtime friend Grian gets him his first real job, well, ever, Joel is out of his depth. Especially concerning the guy who's been assigned to show him around- the famous redstone prodigy, Etho Slab. Joel can't quite put his finger on it, but something about Etho feels different. From the moment they meet, Joel finds himself confused... and more than a little grudgingly hopeful to learn more about the redstoner.
Joel Beans used to be full of joy and energy. Despite his background, where he grew up, he always had that dream of becoming a famous architect. It kept him going through school bullies, broken hearts, and friends who were having just as hard a time as he was. All through this, ever since eighth grade, his girlfriend Lizzie Shadow was there with him. She climbed the ladder up and out in a way no one else could, and Joel wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Until one day, she was gone.
--
This is a dual narrative. There are two tales being told here- Joel's past, and his present. How he fell in love, how it ended, and how he fell in love again.
Enjoy.

Summary
“So why’d you help him?" she asks, there’s something dangerous in her tone, he just knows it.
“I dunno” Joel just shrugs it off.
“Yes you do. We’re not your friends” Lizzie insists, looking down at him. He just shifts uncomfortably under her gaze.
“I know. I guess… I didn’t like what they were saying”
Or, how Joel became king of Mezalea because of a tree, and also married the goddess of the ocean
Or, or, this was MEANT to be a small little cute thing about how empires Lizzie and Joel met, but then it spiraled into immense world-building. They still get married tho :)

Summary
Joel tucked his phone back into his pocket, zipping it just in case. Another thing that made him a good bounty hunter was the fact that this city was in every way his. Joel lived and breathed every street of this jam-packed place.
The other thing that made him a good bounty hunter, though, had to be the ruthlessness that stemmed from seeing people stuck living on the streets just because of the rich people that sat behind their white fences and gated communities. It was the ruthlessness that let Joel do what he did best: hunt.

Or, Joel is the city's resident bounty hunter. Chaos ensues. -

“The zombies have been spotted in two main places,” Lizzie continued. “We don't have time to search both of them together before sunrise, so…”

“...yeah,” Lizzie said apologetically. “Sorry.”

Summary
“Stratos. The so-called Manic Hero. News outlets call you that—Really, you do all of this,” they gestured up and down his injured form, “for them, and they return you with such little gratitude.”
Joel grit his teeth, struggling against the odd restraints. The civvies had plenty of gratitude. The agency being full of letters and donations from people saved by them was proof of that. What was this guy trying to prove?
“Yet again,” and the Villain sounded downright delighted now, “perhaps the agency would be better off with such a villainous wannabe-hero like you dead.”
