The First Honest Deal (King Dice POV) by L00na96
Fandoms: The Cuphead Show! (Cartoon), Cuphead (Video Game)
21 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
When King Dice requests a month of leave to visit his ailing father on Isle 2, the Devil agrees with surprising ease. But "normal" life on the surface isn't what Dice remembered. Trapped between his parents' narrow expectations and a forced romance with a girl who doesn't know the real him, Dice realizes that the surface world is the true prison.
Escaping back to the Underworld, he finds the Devil waiting with a damp fur and a watchful eye. Through a night of spilled secrets, fur brushing, and a very specific new deal, both Boss and Manager realize that the only person they can truly be themselves with is each other.

Summary
Rumi had never thought too much about what her demon heritage meant beyond the shame it brought her. She could bury it with discipline and routine, yet instinct doesn’t wait for permission. The line between predator and protector is getting thinner. While Rumi tries not to cross it, something inside her already has.
Despite everything, she finds herself with skin in her teeth, blood soaking her hands, and Jinu unable to meet her eyes, a bitemark fading on his throat. As her patterns glisten and spread, she’s left asking a question she had never wanted to face: what if this is who she truly is?
What if being an “alpha” is what makes her a monster?
Or
It was assumed that the Golden Honmoon would be achieved before Rumi came of age, so there was no need to teach her how different demon biology was from that of a human’s. Jinu and her suffer the brunt of this ignorance while Gwi-Ma’s plans for them change.

Summary
It's been a month since the events at Namsan. The Honmoon is back up and the demons are gone, but Huntrix is struggling with how things went down. Then Derpy and Sussie show up with a note that reveals the Saja Boys aren't dead, but they need help from Huntrix. And if Jinu can reclaim his soul, why can't they?
If Huntrix wants to save the Saja Boys, they will have to travel to hell and back to find them. While in Hell, they learn how the Saja Boys became demons and how Gwi-ma rewards failure.

Summary
Nari Kim is Bobby's young niece - his part time assistant, and the Huntrix's personal housekeeper. Despite being around the same age as the famous idols, she has only been their housekeeper for three years now, the move from America to South Korea a bit scary, but the life of being a housekeeper for famous pop idols was normal...or as normal as it could get. All she had to do was to make sure the ladies have everything they needed, which was easy enough.
Even though, Nari does want to be their friend and get to know them more than just a working relationship, but she knew that wouldn't happen because of how close knit the girls are and she felt like she might ruin their dynamic if she say anything. Having a professional relationship with the girls was the closest thing she might ever get. Besides, she knew they were busy with their music. It was like they were on a mission.
What matters to Nari was that they were nice to her.
However, when Nari stumbled upon a teal haired man, she didn't realize her life would be turned upside down and watching the Huntrix trying to takedown a new boy band as well as learning the secrets that the Huntrix were keeping from her for all these years.

Summary
I've always thought that Kane and Abby needed a proper backstory.
The Ark is a small space station - it's only logical to think that they would have spent years working alongside each other, living nearby, sharing friends. This is that story. Pre-canon but true to the events of the show, be prepared for enemies to lovers yearning and misunderstandings. Riddled with (hopefully not too on the nose) parallels and missing scenes.
I love comments and knowing that people are reading my work - to encourage, criticize, or otherwise, I'm always happy to be perceived! Please feel free to point out any inconsistencies or inaccuracies - I am always writing and re-writing old scenes and adding to this fic whenever I can.
**A note to anyone who read back in 2021 - old chapters have been revamped and updated with new scenes!**

Summary
Love fucks it? Love fixes? It May be both.
London, summer 1940. A boy destined for legend comes back to the orphanage he hates and meets a tarot reader with no fear of snakes.
This story follows canon — mostly — but still takes you for a ride. I wanted to fill the gaps in Tom Riddle’s life — the parts that were only ever hinted at. Too much of book-Tom rests on nothing but Dumbledore’s assumptions, and I couldn’t leave it like that. We'll explore everything that happened somewhere in the shadows of HP canon: alliances, mentors, magic, war, mythic love & his evolution from a child all the way until the end.
If you’ve ever wanted to read about Voldemort's making… buckle up.It’s not a redemption arc — it’s a revelation arc. He doesn’t become good. He becomes understood.
Dedicated to all the girls who read Chamber of Secrets and fell in love with Tom Riddle 💔

After taking him in for the night, he finds that he has sheltered the famous model/actor, Eve.

*This is originally a 2011-2016 fic, OG posted on fanfic net! I just happened to spot a review over there on Thanksgiving exactly 9 years before, and it gave me a giggle. So, ive decided to keep writing the fic. Please excuse the writing, considering it started in 2011 :)

I have my own notes, but since I'm not a native speaker, they are all in my native language, lol.
Decided to share just for the fun of it (and because I have been a DM/Storyteller for role play games for so long that I can't help but make NPC's lists and other stuff for my players). I will be editing, adding descriptions and including stuff as I go.

Summary
For the third and final installment in the Kelly and Yorkie trilogy, they have returned to the real world, in synthetic bodies, illegally (don’t worry, we’ll come back to this). I wanted this story to more personal and intimate than the last story, which was more epic and action-packed. I also decided that the next step for Yorkie and Kelly’s relationship was to become parents
But who would they adopt? Probably someone like them, queer, traumatized, dead, but resurrected, someone with a troubled home life. Someone who, like Yorkie had experienced parental rejection. Then I realized, they should probably just do for them, what they had just done. Which meant the family would be living under assumed identities. But they would also have jobs, and lives, and co-workers, who would become friends, as the child grows up.
Finally, Nish will do anything to help them, giving them synthetic bodies, she’ll break any law, any moral boundary, and her power will only become greater over time. This leads to some frightening thoughts, where will she stop, where will it end, what if she stops being on their side?
You’ll just have to read to find out. I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it.Series

It's always been him.
So, you say the only thing you can; the only thing that matters as you nod once.
