Follow his perspective through the eyes of his mentor and mentee before taking up the badge himself and finally settling the case to rest.

A short, experimental Mega Man one shot focusing on the character of Dr. Cossack.

"It appeared that Japan empowered itself as the ‘New Europe’ in Asia, the rising threat to the chokehold of power the white man possessed, all fueled by the white man’s technology and culture, but all the more driven by the Japanese spirit, all the same. That’s how captivating this place is to me: this surly mixture of ancient and modern, of the rice paddies and the steel mills, of the Katana blades and the Karabiner rifles, of the Nobunaga engravings and the Hirohito murals. Japan—the proud amalgam." The year is 1936, and the Empire of Japan stands at a crossroads. Cultural, economic, and political clashes between Eastern and Western ideals draw out a murky future for the leading power in the Pacific, and a one Josephine Sampson, aspiring American novelist, seeks to document the tenor and fabric of a nation encapsulating the term 'amalgam' amid social upheaval and the road to war. Follow both her rich journal entries and the reports of government officials surrounding the Emperor Hirohito on Japan's course of action after a series of crises, to understand the pivotal moment Kaiserreich Japan finds herself in, and how she will be led into greatness or ultimate defeat.

Harry S. Truman strides across the National Promenade courtyard at the White House, him and his aged features reflecting on the life he's lived, and the battles he's fought for world freedom. His reminiscences on the bloodshed of the Pacific War are joined by a one President-elect Douglas MacArthur, who sees the worth in the killings of American boys as the preservation of world freedom, with his eyes set on dismantling the Nazi empire. Follow the stories of these two men as the arc of America's place on the world stage is drawn by their firm hands. (A Thousand Week Reich fic.)

The world in 1936 is ablaze with political intrigue, revolution and a shift in power... In the universe of Kaiserreich, anything goes in the equilibrium of human politics, from the socialist zeal and vigor of Syndicalism to the grip of the iron fist of National Populism. Nations change on a monthly basis, economies are stricken with collapses, power drives the hunger for bloodshed. This is truly a time to be alive, in not necessarily a good way... Through the perspective of different characters in their respective nations at varying times during Kaiserreich's timeline, you can realize how captivating its universe really is, from the grueling hardship to the triumphant victory, and everything in between. (For now, the series focuses on an irreverent American journalist and his intrepid escapades on the eve of civil war...)

Gotham City: a deteriorating hellhole in the midst of an intractable decline, with government corruption and popular disorder infecting every facet of society. Even as the city's criminals band together to make a change and upturn the status quo, the Batman stops them in their tracks each time, keeping things the way he likes it. That is, until a charismatic leader rises to the top to lead them on their quest to revolution by finally defeating the Caped Crusader, in a game of contacts, relations, and bitterness interlaid throughout the schemes to come. The chronicle of Joker's citywide plan to change everything in Gotham by beheading its so-called guardian angel.

Blues, the robot that founded an entire generation of self-aware machines, the man who has fought so tirelessly for the freedom of others--just as he sees his own freedom seemingly limited by his own age, as the march of time passes him by, and the world changes with each passing year. As he regales the journey of his life, take a dive into his philosophy on free will, on what it means to be a machine--or to be human--and his ever-present liminality between life and death, living on the fringes, but still singin' the blues no matter what.

Asogi. The samurai of the law, a man whose wishes to bring justice to his homeland may have been all a mirage to veil the dark inlets of rage and inquisition that came to the fore of his mind from the murder of his father. His struggles with the volatility of his own psychology, coupled with the ceaseless wit and determination of his soul to divine the truth, mark a journey of resurrection unparalleled in the Ace Attorney canon. A character study fic focused on the revival quest of Kazuma Asogi that crosses the oceans and mores between Japan and Britain, viewed through a reimagining of the events leading up to, during, and after his return from the gates of hell.

The 19th century is about to come to a close in the silvery streets of London, as young lawyer Leopold Battersby seeks to find his place in the legal world amid crusades against economic exploitation and political intrigue alike. When he finds himself at a rupture point with friends dying all around him and comrades left with nowhere to go, he must rouse himself from chaos and prove his mettle as a modern attorney in an age of fickle modernity. Heavily inspired by the Great Ace Attorney, and something I may consider making a series out of, with passions for history and Ace Attorney intertwined. I hope you enjoy!

Zelda and Link, Link and Zelda, bound to their fates and yet always yearning for something more in their lives.
