《Someone Under Stress Meets Someone Looking Pretty (Lin-Manuel Miranda X Reader)》If you give a moose a muffin...

You walk briskly down the street, prescription bag in one hand and two coffees in the other. It's a short walk from the corner drugstore to your apartment, but today, it was a chilling one. The wind cut like an icy blade as it whips around you, and you struggle to comprehend Lin living for weeks in this weather.
When you walk up to your apartment door, you struggle to open it because your hands are full. Reluctantly, you knock on the door and call: "Lin?"
You hear the padding of feet on tile and feel the deadbolt slide into the door frame. You push the door open and see a very disheveled Lin-Manuel standing and clutching the book you threw at him earlier.
"Hey." You say. Lin looks up at your briefly and then continues reading. You walk into your kitchen and put your back pack on the counter, removing the bottle of pills from the prescription bag. "I got the goods." You say spiritedly, rattling the pills in their bottle. Lin nods vaguely, still awkwardly standing by the door.
You walk over to him, "Hey, are you okay." He looks up at you as if you'd startled him out of sleep, sunken eyes now wide with curiosity, he smiles, shutting the book. He thumps the cover and shoves it into your arms. You look at the thick book, "Oh, the biography of Alexander Hamilton. I had to read this for my U.S. history course. Are you into this kind of thing?"
Lin isn't listening now, he's pacing the floor and tapping a beat on his thigh with a broad hand. "Are you okay?" You say, despite the fact that Lin looks a million times better. Lins head snap up to you and he smiles widely, nodding. Lin thinks for a moment, then holds out his hand and looks at you desperately. You hand him your phone and he types:

Can I have pencib qnd paaper?
"What?" You say, "Oh, you want to write. Would you rather a lap top?" Lin claps his hands as if to say: "Even better."
You walk to your bedroom and unplug your MacBook, handing it cautiously to the overly excited Puerto Rican. Lin plops himself onto the couch, opens a Word document, and sets into writing... something. You're not sure what.

Tidal Lock
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full immersion entertainment for the average consumer, and many people turned to VR for the thrill of spaceflight.One game, Parallax Gate, lets its players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by the players' personal skills and ability.Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To his disappointment, his first year courses barely relate to his interests, so he passes time as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths. Before they realized, a chain of in-game events drew them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended to go.

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
