    Summary

    “Iruma,” Kalego said firmly as he grabbed the boy’s wrist to stop him from running any further, “I need you to answer me truthfully. You’re not in any trouble, so take a deep breath,” His voice was uncharacteristically gentle as he slowly guided Iruma back to the couch. Once Iruma was sat, Kalego crouched down and gently held his hands, “Iruma,” He said quietly, “Who grounded you?”

    The teenager blinked in surprise at Kalego’s words. Grounded? He looked around at all the other teachers, expecting them all to be staring at him like he was a buffet waiting to be eaten. Instead, they all stared back at him with pity and horror written all over his face. He slowly turned his attention back to Kalego, who was patiently waiting for an answer.

    “Excuse me,” Iruma whispered, his heart still hammering in his chest, “W-what…What is grounding?” He asked.

    ___

    What if Iruma is removed from Sullivan's custody and put in the care of his grumpy homeroom teacher and the teacher who supposedly experiments on students? How will Iruma continue to hide the fact that he's human while also making his teachers understand he wasn't tortured?

    Summary

    Kalego hated troublesome things. That's why, when he's somehow summoned by two human buffoons to sell their son in exchange for money, he decided he would simply get rid of them. Yes, this decision did not at all change when said son walked in, horrified as his supposed parents eagerly tried to pawn him off. He was going to crush them all, find a way back to the Demon World on his own and—

    "You said you wanted money, correct?" Curses.

    A story in which, Kalego obtains a puppy.

    Summary

    “I was a vigilante before I was Bloodlust, y’know,” he starts carefully, watching Tommy nod even quicker. “I know how it can be.”

    Revered by those protected by you; reviled by those in fear of you, sing the voices. They worshipped you like a god and when the time came, they crucified you like one.

    “What I’m sayin’ is, if you happen to get yourself into more trouble than you can handle, I would probably not kick you out if you came knockin’ on my window again.”

    Tommy’s eyes are saucers: two spiral galaxies brimming with infinite wonder and light.

    “For real?” he asks, as suspicious as he is breathless with wonder.

    “For real,” Techno echoes dryly back, grinning faintly as he stands. “I’ll come up with a way for you to return the favor.”

    ~ or, the only thing worse than having to patch up the vigilante that crash-landed through your window at three AM is getting attached to him.

    Summary

    The first time Tommy dies, he’s seventeen, and they tell him he’s a hero when the Angel’s bladed feather sinks into his chest.

    If Tommy could go back in time and tell himself one thing as blood ran rivers down his chest, it wouldn’t be comforting.

    “Get used to it,” he’d say, as cold as the blade that had done this to him. “This is all you are now.”

    ~
    as the heroes' phoenix, tommy only has one job: to die, and die, and die for them. but death hurts, and the more he dies, the less of him comes back.

    and the only people to notice? the very same villains Tommy is tasked to hunt down.

    Summary

    Tommy's new career choice was a bit dangerous, but he was able to stay hidden from most of the world simply healing criminals and vigilantes in his free time.
    He never planned to jump into the deep end and end up healing one of the most wanted supervillains in the country, but hey, what else was he supposed to do? Just leave the villain to die?
    Well... That one decision might've been one of the worst - or the best - decisions in his life.
    At least now he might get more support for his plans.
    After all, the Syndicate members are all anarchists, aren't they?
