《Distractions (Scrutinized Tanner x reader Fanfiction)》Prologue
Advertisement
Tanner could feel the cold air of Adam's office seeping through his suit, dress shirt, and pants as Adam paced about the room. Today, Tanner was going to receive information about his next target.
From what he knew of, it was a woman who knows Luna Youngman personally -- and from what Adam had said, she would be quite useful in finding Luna and figuring out what her motives were.
"You've worked hard these past few weeks, Grayton," Adam began, finally sitting down at his desk and intertwining his hands. "But your work isn't done. I'm sure you know why your here anyway."
"I sure do, Adam! you plan on assigning me someone who knows Luna Youngman personally!" Tanner piped up in seconds, wiggling in his chair like a small child.
"so you did read that message I sent you, good, then I won't have to explain everything."
With that, one of Adam's secretaries threw a file on the somewhat smooth desk. Tanner picked it up and was greeted with various pictures of a woman. The first was a picture of her smiling-- it looked to be taken at noon, particularly when she was out with her friends to lunch.
"This is Y/N L/N, as much as we'd like to say we have information on her... we, unfortunately, don't."
"Why's that?"
"Well, unlike most of your other targets, she isn't big on the whole, "social media" thing or just using the phone in general. In fact, we looked up just about everything we could about her. Personal pictures, texts, search history, hell, even her personal record but we found nothing."
"Well, what did you find?" his voice sounded far lower than before, Adam could also hear very heavy breathing coming from the young man.

"From the looks of it, she poses no real threat. She works as a detective in the law enforcement agency, though, from the looks of it, she's only been apart of 4 cases."
"And that means?--"
"She's fairly new to the agency, Grayton. most of the experienced ones have been in at least 15 cases, in fact, Ms. Youngman has been apart of 67 cases total."
There was silence for a minute.
"If you know all this, then why do I have to stalk her? Can't you just look up all the information you need on Luna?"
"Grayton, you are just as vigilant as you are horny and stupid... That and looking like you belong on a cereal box." Adam growled.
"rude."
"Nevermind it Grayton, my point is, as much as we'd love to do that, Luna has more -- security with her information. It does make sense seeing as she is one of the best detectives the agency has, so her information would be far more confidential then some newbie they got off the streets."
Adam heard nothing but the air conditioning for 10 minutes in response.
Tanner had stopped listening, He was more in awe of Y/N's pictures. He had never seen such a gentle and soft-looking woman quite like her before.
"Grayton!" Adam roared, slamming his fist against the desk.
Tanner jumped a bit, unprepared for Adam's aggressive call to order. The file fell on the floor, it's paper's shooting out and gliding gently down to the cold surface below.
"If you're going to get off to those pictures, at least get home first," the low voice grumbled, "I don't want to see you sitting in my office like some dog in heat, now get lost."
Tanner sat there awkwardly for a moment, he had a moment while staring at those images that made him forget he was still in Adam's office. If Adam hadn't said anything, Tanner probably would have started jerking off.

It wasn't like he could help it, the woman he was after was so sexy. she looked like a rose in a field of dead shrubs, far too perfect and delicate that it seemed far too cruel to touch her.
but he had to, that was business after all.
Tanner left the room and strode toward his car after recollecting all the papers and shoving them into the file again. the second he closed the door of the tinted windowed car, he opened the file again and grabbed the belt of his slacks.
His eyes glanced at the information on one of the many pages of the wrinkled, crumbled, roughed up looking paper:
Y/N M/N L/N
Female
23
unknown
unknown
at her house, watching tv and typing something on her computer.
Target is noted to know commonly go to the library on Sundays. She is seen carrying pepper spray with her at all times. Target does not appear to have a lover she comes home to and from what is seen on her phone; she works at night.
Tanner laughed to himself, she was going to be a challenge. Unlike the other women and men he had killed mercilessly-- she was much different. She was charming looking, actually carried something to defend herself, and from what he could tell; had quite a big friend group.
He moved the papers over and grabbed the pictures again, then one grabbed his eye;
The picture, very obviously taken from a window, was of her sleeping. Not just that, but sleeping in nothing but her underwear. She was sleeping on top of her covers, and from the look on her face, she was beyond tired.
This picture would do nicely for him
Tanner pulled the belt off before pulling his slacks down to his ankles. He then removed himself from his boxers and began rubbing away, biting his lip to the point blood was nearly drawn as he stared down at the images of the woman.
"I bet you'd find this disgusting, You'd see me as such a perverted man... Jerking off to a woman like this when she doesn't even know me... but don't worry, Y/N L/N... I'll have you wrapped around my finger in no time. Then we'll see who the real pervert is..."
A/N: the number of times I had to resize that JJBA "To Be Continued" thing actually hurt my soul. In other news, as you can see- this is well written. I pulled an all-nighter for this one, and honestly, I love how it came out. (why the fuck does Wattpad resize it to be so large, I've always wondered because like- bitch why can I get such a small image but you're not even gonna use its dimensions so-)

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
