    Summary

    Cool World has always struck me as one of those rare cases of a brilliant idea with a messy execution. A world of hand‑drawn life, neon noir, and Toon logic should’ve been something bold and unforgettable. Instead, it became a film better known for what it could have been than what it was allowed to be.
    This project isn’t about rewriting the movie.
    It’s about exploring the idea — the one that got buried under studio decisions and compromises and the executive meddling. I love Toons, I love hand‑drawn animation, and I believe animation is a medium capable of depth, emotion, and adult storytelling. That’s the spirit I’m working from.
    I’m not promising perfection.
    I’m not promising a definitive version.
    Heck, I can’t even promise full completion.
    I’m just here to give this world the time, care, and imagination it never got the first time around.
    If that sounds like something you want to read, welcome to
    Cool World: The Lost Creator’s Vision — Bigger, Longer… Badder.
    Inspired by Ralph Bashki's original vision for Cool World. Note: I haven't seen the original film

    Summary

    She’s not supposed to be here.

    Not in this country, not in this world—not in this universe damn it.

    Shuya’s always known that God has it out for her. But what she hadn’t known before this was that he hated her enough to literally yeet her into a fictional anime with zero context.

    Well, if she’s here—might as well fuck shit up.

    In which my friend asks me to throw her into My Hero Academia for her birthday. Naturally, I'm going to be obnoxious about it. Congratulations, you get a fic about a 21st century anime fan speed running BNHA while actively fighting the Plot™ that wants NOTHING but to go back to normal.

    Summary

    Mechanically-enhanced humans are inferior. It is a truth that has been drilled into your head since you were young. Everyone in Aetheris knows it. Even the Under, the slums infested with criminals beneath the glittering towers of Aetheris, knows it.

    So when Soldier 118—a rogue, government-issued cyborg—is accused of murder, it is nothing to note for someone like you, the sheltered daughter of an Aetheris elite.

    Until fate throws you right into the fugitive’s path.

    Suddenly, the crystal domes of adolescence are not enough to shield you from the harsh realities of life, and, like it or not, you must face the things you were once sheltered from head-on.

    Summary

    Kaladin is attending the Ivy League Kharbranth University as a premed student. Modern-ish (mid-2000s) AU with (almost) no magic or spren (our world) just our favorite characters (Kaladin, Shallan, and Adolin) meeting/navigating college together. Think Stormlight with more girl-boy drama and lots of misunderstandings/miscommunications because I love that shit. If you're a millennial, get ready for some nostalgia. Especially where emo music is concerned because in my heart Kaladin is the OG emo kid. You can expect lots of typical millennial teenage angst/feelings/drama/pining/firsts and my typical crack-ish innuendo-laden prose. Also, we will be using ‘storms’ as a swear word because it's part of my vernacular.

    His muscles felt shaky and weak. He was going to hurt tomorrow but today he was going to sleep hard. He shut his eyes before he collapsed face-first onto his bed but his eyes almost immediately snapped open again.

    It smelled like her. His pillow, the sheets, his blanket. It all smelled like Shallan. He felt like he was surrounded by her. He wished he was surrounded by her. Fuck.

    Summary

    The year is 1887. A Chinese cowboy and a woman disguised as a courier walk into a saloon, but this isn't a joke. Nor is it a tall-tale.

    Hsu Jiang, a railroad laborer turned bounty hunter, wants justice for the Legion's massacre of his family. The Legion, a proto-fascist white supremacist organization, is hell-bent on raising the Antebellum South from the grave.

    Lenore Calhoun, a courier with a bullet scar and a vendetta, wants revenge for her family's murder. Their past as abolitionists and Union sympathizers made them a target.

    In Durango, their paths collide, and a deal is struck: ride together to hunt the men who destroyed their lives. Their journey will take them from the Colorado mountains to Salt Lake City, Utah, to the deserts of Yuma, and to the golden fields of central California, forcing them to confront the brutal past that binds them.

    “Folk fear what they do not understand. But for my kin… it’s not fear. It’s grief. Grief for what we’ve lost, what we’ve endured. For what has been forgotten. It wasn't just white men who built this railroad. It was built on the sacrifice of my people.”

    — Hsu Jiang

    Summary

    "You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."

    Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.

    Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.

    or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mindblowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

    Summary

    Silco survives a life of indentured servitude, becoming a radicalized Zaunite separatist, fighting for a severance from Piltover and the end of its oppression over the people of the Undercity. He starts a life in the thriving Lanes, where deals with Enforcement ensure safety for the cooperative and punishment for incompliance. Personal and political events intersect, bringing three men together and pulling them apart. Silco is torn between two loves and two different visions of Zaun’s future, complacency and revolution, pragmatism and extremism, progress and tradition, security and freedom. An act of violent betrayal changes all their lives forever and alters the political course of the toxic and beautiful City of Iron and Glass. A coming of age story, set before the events in Arcane and ending between Acts 1 and 2.

    Part 1 of 4 complete.

    "We need to make it hurt." - Mira, "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (2025)

     

    Author's note regarding the tags:

    I'm not sure whether to add or not to add the DD:DNE tag; I mean, I do believe "dubcon" and "emotional manipulation" are the things which are potentially sensitive and need to be emphasised, yet people commonly use it for much heavier themes; additionally, this work is still in the process of writing, and I'm not sure myself how intense I want to or will be properly able to make it, soooo, I guess, it's not going to hurt if i keep it for a while, and in case it won't be as relevant anymore, I'll just remove it, not to water down it’s intended purpose.

    Summary

    Hitoshi had always been unlucky—unlucky to be in foster care when he was barely four years old, his parents succumbing to their drug addictions, unlucky to be placed in a series of negligent and violent foster homes, unlucky to be branded as the weird, too quiet, one-step-away-from-a-villain kid in the back of the classroom. Unlucky to get denied a spot in UA’s Heroics Course. Unlucky enough to have multiple mate marks branded on his skin.

    Unlucky to be omega.
