Payjanuary! (A month of Payjay fluff) by TallLiar

Summary
I love payjay, a lot! Especially fluffy payjay! So, I decided I’d start writing a short Payjay drabble every day for a month and chuck it at the world, because why not?
Ignore the fact I didn’t begin this at the start of the month. I had this idea spontaneously and didn’t want to wait until February
EDIT: fic name has been changed slightly, previously just titled 'A month of Payjay fluff!'

Summary
Orange Juice is a contestant on Inanimate Insanity who spends a lot of time alone. A lot more than he thought he would when he joined.
You’d think with his smarts and planning skills, he’d have a better life than rotting away in the woods, but apparently not.
And it was only mere coincidence that what he missed happened to link back to those he pretended to bond with… he couldn’t miss them. What he missed was the idea of the competition, of winning the million. He missed his reputation. Not Paper, or Knife, or anyone he met along the way.
Right?

Summary
[Fic requested by mcprincesspearl on discord!]
Paper’s been… pretty terribly treated for most of his life.
His father, Lifering, had died when he was only a child - and his step-mother Tea Kettle and his step-siblings Salt and Pepper seemed determined to make his life a living hell.
Will he be doomed to suffer in this endless cycle of abuse - or is there a chance that maybe, one day, there’d be a miracle to save him from this cruel fate?

Time Travel. Sounds impossible, doesn't it?
Well, apparently nothing was impossible for a certain gravity-defying Marshmallow.
But after heading into the past with her to bring their old host back... OJ makes a choice. A choice to explore the limits of what this power could show him.
And... well, it's certainly an experience he'll never forget.

Summary
OJ's life was about as close to perfect as it could possibly get. Great friends, great grades, and a very long line of girls all lined up for a shot with the academic, athletic superstar.
So why did he still feel so... hollow?
And more importantly, why did that feeling get so much worse around PAPER, of all objects? After all, they were just friends. They'd been friends since they were kids.
His heart doesn't seem to get the memo, though.

...But what the hell comes next? How would he go about taking that first step, and every other step on the unpredictable road destiny would put him on after that?
Well, he and a certain special someone would have to figure all that out on their own.

Summary
The world... had been quite cruel to Paper thus far.
His first friend ended up crushing him with a piano. A piano, for goodness sake. And of course, when he finally makes a connection that's actually meaningful - that person happens to get shot off a cliff by a lemon and dies.
And when he'd finally gotten used to living life peacefully in the hotel, with no competition to worry about.. the end of the world is suddenly approaching him like a freight train.
Could things get any worse?
The answer is… more complicated than what Paper initially expected.

Summary
OJ and Paper's first anniversary as a couple is coming up, and OJ couldn't be more excited. A chance to celebrate how far he and his lover had come over the years, and how much they meant to each other... it'll surely be a day filled with exciting revelations and surprises; one he'll surely never forget.

Summary
OJ's hotel has been absolutely BOOMING lately.
And that kind of success was... hard to manage, to say the least. Especially since OJ couldn't seem to find a good assistant to help out with things. He'd tried, sure, but all of them just... fell flat in one way or another.
So imagine his surprise when Steve Cobs, the CEO of Meeple Inc., offered to BUILD one for him.
Well... who was he to turn down the offer of a lifetime?
