Summary
A thief at the end of their rope and a sentimental alchemist walk into a cave lab.
What develops in the shadows cast by sickly purple liquids and dim gas lights is nothing short of abominable, an ambitious relationship built on mutual need and exploitation. Little do either of you know – it would develop to be so, so much more.

Left behind on his own in the game's code after his defeat, Benrey grows lonely and starts looking for a way out.
It ends up landing him a few universes over, where things are just as radioactive and dead half the time, but at least there was a Gordon. Just... a little different. Bit louder, and more violent, maybe. Shorter ponytail, too.

Summary
Cecil Stedman is used to managing risks. When he took you, a cat hybrid superhero, under his command, he had no idea what he was getting himself into.
Your first official heat outside the lab spirals fast. Cecil advises you “deal with it like normal people would”, assuming that was enough to keep you in line. Your misunderstanding turns into a genuine security risk; a one night stand with a stranger just to ease the pain. He tells himself it’s for your safety, that his sudden appearance at your apartment is about control and keeping his superhero away from potential harm.
What Cecil doesn’t plan for is the fact he ends up being the solution to your very problem.

Summary
“The name of the man who runs the syndicate is Corbeau.” There’s a slight waver in your voice as you say his name, and it makes you pause before you suck a breath in. “He’s… stubborn, has big ambitions, and often doesn’t know when to quit while he’s ahead. A natural leader and a great Pokémon trainer to boot.”
“You speak as if you know him quite well,” AZ replies, a knowing smile tugging on his lips.
“We used to date,” you deadpan.
OR
You live and work at Hotel Z as their gardener, having grown to care for AZ and the team like they're your family. Hence why Taunie ending up in debt with the local mob is so alarming to you. But it's not just her debt that's the problem. No, it's the fact that the boss she owes money to just so happens to be your ex-boyfriend.

Summary
“You’re standing quite close to the edge, there. If you’re not careful one of those Magikarps might knock you right in.”
The sudden voice startles you, making you jolt as you gasp. It’s deep and gruff, certainly not a voice you recognize. When you turn around and peer upwards, you realize that there’s a figure standing on the street above, looking down at you near the waterway. It’s a man with greying hair, dressed in rather well-worn clothing and a jacket with a large fur collar. His left eye is shut, making you wonder if he has some sort of impairment. There were a lot of things you could have said. You could have told him off for startling you, asked him to leave you alone, or you may have even asked for his name. Instead, what comes out is a question.
“Do I know you?”
OR
Following the loss of a dear friend, you find yourself stuck in your mourning and aimless in your life. It's just your luck that in the oddest of places you manage to meet a man who seems pretty lost as well. He's so familiar to you, but you just can't quite figure out where you know him from.

Summary
When you wake up in the Dark World, everything changes for you. It feels like too much at first, and you barely know how to handle it.
But when you run into the television you used to be connected to when you were still used to play video games on, you experience an emotion that's far more complicated than you were ever meant to experience.
