    Summary

    Three idiots are the reason you've crashed on an island, and as soon as you have the means to go home, they try to make you stay. Despite yourself, you can't help but build a positive relationship with these three. They think you're a genius, you think they're just idiots.

    An interpretation of Splatoon Raiders. I'm not novelizing the game or going level by level or anything, but I did gain a greater appreciation for Deep Cut as characters via this game and want to explore that. I also think the mechanic has potential to be a fun character. This isn't really a reader fic so much as it is a second person fic, but it can really be interpreted either way. Shipping and such are still TBD. It will MAYBE be an indulgent fic, but I want to respect the characters and keep it grounded as well. We'll see, pretty much. :smile:

    Very much just a draft and work-in-progress right now. Working with an idea while I have it. Input is welcome, in all variety of forms such as direction, ideas, corrections, etc. so long as you're nice and kind and all the pretty things.

    Summary

    After inheriting your parents’ home in the dying town of Old Abalonia, you’d gotten yourself swamped in loans to debatably unethical organizations. With no real way to pay off your debt other than scavenging old metal left behind in the Splatlands, you tried your best to make living in Old Abalonia work, no matter how hard the town treated you.

    Then, of course, Shiver Hohojiro, some Octoling you’ve never heard of, busted her way into your life, and things were never the same.

    Summary

    “Something’s wrong with me, Bubble!” Caine hisses dramatically, floating back and forth in his office. “Every time she smiles, I glitch! My code jitters, my heart races… Wait, do I even have a heart?!”

    Bubble floats lazily. “Sounds like a crush to me,” he says matter-of-factly.

    “A what?!”

    The Amazing Digital Circus’s all-powerful ringmaster can bend reality with a snap of his fingers, but apparently not his own feelings.
