    Summary

    In this AU, the dungeon never opens and Carl still finds himself fighting to survive.

    When desperation outweighs pride, Carl enters an arrangement he never planned to justify: safety, stability, and attention in exchange for compliance he pretends doesn’t cost him anything. The dynamic begins unhealthy and unbalanced—but both Carl and AI change. Slowly. Painfully. On purpose.

    Endgame Carl/AI. Heavy angst. Hurt/comfort. Adult themes. WIP but story outline is done. Regular updates planned and will be finished.

    Summary

    Compared to everything you’ve done, the little bosses designed by the showrunners…. They’re so flat. Dull. Uninspired.

    Sure, I had my fun with the hydras. Weren’t those exciting? They certainly got my point across.

    But we can do better than that. Ohhhhhh-ho-ho yes we can!

    I think I want to add an even more personal touch. The perfect boss. The perfect spectacle.

    So, so perfect.

    Aren’t you, Carl?

    -OR-

    The AI possesses Carl. He fights it.

    Summary

    “There’s a new student today,” Nikandros says.

    “For my homeroom?” Damen asks.

    The kid who follows Nik in looks old enough to be a senior, and Damen’s first thought is sympathy for the kid having to transfer in the middle of his last year of school, then he gets a look at his face and nearly chokes on his own spit.

    It’s Laurent.

    Laurent, the amazing fuck from last night. The amazing fuck that Damen met a bar. The amazing fuck whose ass Damen ate less than twelve hours ago and made coffee for this very morning is standing in his classroom, wearing worn jeans and a band t-shirt and holding one of those brightly colored Swedish backpacks that half the kids seem to have.

     

    Fuck.

    Summary

    So this is what happens when you have issues.
    Carl has been summoned to be on a show where the host displays images and videos of his previous sexcapades... going over all of his sexual history with mocking, condescending words while the crowd and universe watch, and he sits, mortified, in his stupid little heart shaped boxers, trying not to get hard. I played with the timeline a little so don't worry about things being out of order politically.

    Pretty much anything is in here except for gore (sorry gore lovers).
    The Prepotente x Carl and Dungeon AI x Carl parts are references to two of my previous fics (👀) and i'll probably make the Mordecai x Carl and Katia x Carl parts into fics too.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Yo!” Elle called the moment she stepped into the guildhall. “This time it’s me who gets to do his hair.”

    “Well, obviously”, Donut said before I had the chance to reply. “We all agreed we’d save him for you this time.”

    “What?” I said. We had not agreed on anything like that.

    At least not out loud. I got the sudden uneasy feeling that they might’ve been talking about it in a chat group I wasn’t involved in.

    “Perfect”, Elle said, clapping her hands together. “You just sit tight, boss. I’ll be ready for you in just a moment.”

    I raised my eyebrows at Donut, who flicked her tail impudently. “What?” she asked. “Don’t look at me like that, Carl.”

    Carl has long, beautiful, and very braidable hair. Everyone else seems to like it a lot more than he does.

    Summary

    The man waved a hand at her from the doorway. “Hi, Donut.”

    Princess Donut narrowed her eyes at him.

    “Come on, Carl”, Miss Beatrice said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the bedroom. The man nearly stumbled on Princess Donut’s precious Mouse toy that lay on the floor. They both giggled drunkenly. Princess Donut sighed. Another of these kinds of manservants. Princess Donut watched them go, judging harshly.

    Carl. She rolled that name around in her mind. Carl.

    It was a good enough name, she supposed.

    Life through Princess Donut's eyes before the Collapse.

    Summary

    When the world ended, I was just a girl watching a movie with my friends. One minute it was an ordinary summer night in Canberra; the next, every roof in the world disappeared, and the Dungeon opened beneath our feet. They told us it was survival, that we could descend through eighteen floors for the chance to free our planet. If we were strong enough—or lucky enough.

    I thought friendship would be enough. I thought courage would be enough. I was wrong.
