  1. Summary

    A protag & Volo centric series in three parts. Spear Pillar, Bad End, and Good End.

    May or may not be discontinued (I'm so sorry). I have the majority of the Good End written, however it is missing a scene, is unedited, and my Volo brainrot got mugged, beaten, shanked, and left for dead by my Submas brainrot.
    [Also, I've ended up reading so many fics where the protag is written as a teen, so now my brain is conflicted. My works in this series specifically revolves around Volo's relationship with an ADULT protag.]

    Summary

    Vigilante Shinra, company soldier Arthur.
    Why did Shinra leave? A question that did not hang above Arthur's head, until the infamous ‘Devil’ interfered on a mission. That's when Arthur realized that he was wrong in his thoughts that Shinra left for a domestic life. Why would this boy who was set on being a hero become the rumors that haunted him so?
    Arthur's request to have Shinra join the ranks is accepted by Ōbi, but will it be accepted by the higher ups, and when it is—will Shinra even want to join?

    Tl;dr: Arthur's gay self forces Shinra to be a part of company 8, and just so happens to be in love with him.

    Summary

    'Perhaps, if someone can love you as much as you love your dear mother and brother, even as a monster. If that is possible, you may deserve acknowledgement. Grace. And that may be enough to have them back. Within thirteen circles of the Sun.'

    The young boy did not fully understand. How could he? Acknowledgement from evil-incarnate did not sound all too appealing. But Shinra was desperate, and a child. A devastated, depressed child who just wanted to live peacefully with his beloved family.

    At the first hint of agreement in his mind, the being latched on, and without a single movement, began the transformation that would make Shinra a true embodiment of the names spat at him by his old town and anyone who had heard of his plight.

    Devil. Demon. Monster. He would learn to bear it.


    Twelve years later.

    Arthur Boyle, age nineteen, fresh academy graduate and soon-to-be Fire Force trainee, had finally set off on his long-awaited journey.

    He was on his way to kill the Devil of Adolla.

    Summary

    Arthur doesn't do breakdowns or panic attacks in a public bathroom, but he does nightmares in the safety of his and Shinra's room. They both know better than to try and get their night terrors and traumas properly checked, but they will catch each other if one chooses to fall.
