Summary
Caesar couldn’t help but steal glances at the British man. He was tall, muscular, dressed far too casually—his biker jacket and gloves still on, his tie partly undone and hanging loosely around his neck—and not even taking notes, just staring at the teacher with an expression of clear boredom painted on his face. Out of curiosity, Caesar sneaked a peak at the list as the guy was writing down his name: Joseph Joestar.
“How’d an imbecile like you even get accepted here, Joestar?” Caesar whispered Joseph’s way,

Summary
In the gritty, snow-choked streets of 1935 New York, a hard-boiled private investigator—known as Grimm Wolf—keeps to himself, scraping by on odd jobs and cheap whiskey. Once a decorated veteran, Wolf now avoids both trouble and his own kind: the “fables,” supernatural beings hiding among humans. He prefers the company of ordinary people, even if they rarely return the sentiment.
But trouble finds him anyway. After a run-in with corrupt cops and a failed gig chasing a runaway cat, Wolf’s routine is shattered by a surprise visit from Prince Charming, the impossibly handsome and powerful CEO of Fairyland. The prince reeks of money, entitlement, and secrets—and he’s not alone. He’s looking for his missing secretary, who turns out to be none other than Miss Red Riding Hood.
Will Wolf uncover the truth? Will he finally be forgiving? Only time will tell.- Language:

Summary
“Just before you got back, Tiny was telling me all about the time he knocked down Eddie Rickard.”
“Can’t picture you knocking anyone down,” Rabbit said. “Aren’t you supposed to turn the other cheek?”
“Frank was turning the other cheek and it wasn’t getting him anywhere.” Tiny leaned back in his chair like he was settling into the story. “Asking him nicely wasn’t getting anywhere and this was before I really knew Frank. We were in the same class, sure, but I hadn’t said more than a word or two to him. Just kept seeing this scrawny, quiet kid getting pushed around and I’ve always been a lot bigger so no one was going to be picking on me. Anyway, I knocked him over a couple times. Didn’t take long for him to get the idea.” He grinned as he reached for his beer. “Me and Frank’ve been mates ever since. Haven’t we, Frankie?”

Maybe history would have turned out differently... when he meets Lauren Witergon in his life.
