KIMBY is a work of fanfiction set in an alternate universe where America breaks down about ten years ahead of schedule, because a pandemic of A-gene, O-gene, and pregnant men is spreading, and all the world’s people need to adapt now.

The setting is World Wrestling Corporation, where rising superstar Roman Reigns is ordered to leave his faction, The Shield, because he presents as an Omega. The Boss (main antagonist) makes Roman sign his life away, basically owns him, so he can keep his job and protect Seth and Dean as well.

Sadly, The Boss engages in, let’s just say, violent quid pro quo with Roman, which is never shown graphically, but alluded to often enough that this is a Rape/Non-con fic that can be very triggering, a big reason I expect people to skip it, or only read it privately, or sparingly.  

This isn’t light reading. This is reading intended to make people think deep and feel uncomfortable. I expect some people may dislike or avoid this fic and others like it on the grounds that, while mildly entertaining in some parts, making the readers feel pleasure is not the point.

KIMBY is not absent of humorous or pleasurable moments, though. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, right? KIMBY just doesn’t ignore, sugarcoat, or sweep bad feelings under the rug. It sits in bad feelings and processes them. It allows ugliness to happen. It breathes raggedly. It goes to therapy. It hobbles forward, but it keeps going.

This work, by nature, is political at times, to paint a picture of an alternate universe, one where the dystopian setting is something eerily similar to, but not a one-to-one reflection, the US in 2025. Celebrities outside of WWE are rarely, if ever, mentioned.  

Three characters are given euphemistic names: The Boss, Girlboss, and The Beast. Their names represent who they are as people and characters. They don't try to imitate any one specific person who may fit their roles. They're caricatures. Your imagination and their exaggerated gestures shape who and what they are.
