《Baseball Princess》The Essay(fragment)

There are many things I've learned from these boys. For one, they mean what they say. You can trust that they'll follow through on any promise. Also, they may be cocky, but you have to love them. The uniqueness of them, and how well they work together, is wonderful. Lastly, they'll love you if you show respect. You don't like them, they don't like you. But that's how it is in a utopia; everything's perfect when you cooperate. Those are a few of the many things I have learned.
Even though the boys may seem utopian, they still have their share of dystopia. They'll play Truth or Dare ruthlessly, sending boys into the pool with nothing on. They can party hard, but without alcohol. They can be overprotective, immature, a little out of hand, but you have to have patience. They'll always come around.
Each boy is unique. They all have part of my heart through a different way.
Mark. He's the 'boss' of the group. He's always there for me, giving his approval for who I date, and he's always right.
Ben. He's like the realistic big brother. He always drove me to and from school. Giving me advice, and lots of piggy back rides.
Daniel. There's so much I could say. We've been through a lot. I guess I could start with falling in love with him. It wasn't brotherly, it was more. And when he woke up on the hospital bed, asking me what I was doing there, it felt like it was over. Daniel meant everything to me, and to lose him all because of a drunk driver, was the worst. It killed me(not literally). But now that he's getting his memory back, it's a little better. I wish that he wanted to be in a relationship with me again. But if he doesn't want to, that's fine too. I still love him to death.

8 197The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz

8 160DRAGON HUNTERS
Many centuries ago in a world of Magic, there existed a group of figures known as the 9 Dragons, who led a large cult called the Dragon-Tails, whose only purpose was to cause chaos all throughout the land, stopping at nothing just to have their own way. But, there rose up a large resistance force led by Two Warriors, and with their might, they subdued the Dragons, and brought about an era of peace once more. Years later however, the Dragons had slowly risen up once again with their devious schemes, and standing against them were the descendants of the Warriors, known as Hunters. Tune in as the Hunters pour out every ounce of their power to suppress the Dragons before they can achieve their ultimate goal: to revive the 9 Elders.
