Current platonic yan stories I'm working on:
My Brothers Keeper: platonic yandere older brother story set in a yandere purge universe
After readers' parents die, instead of ending up in their brothers' custody, they end up in their abusive aunts house. They brother tries to fight for custody and loses, so he fakes his way through the multiple psych evals/other government hurdles to be registered as a yandere so he can take you on the night of the purge. But once you're in your brothers care, you begin to notice disturbing developments in the way your brother acts, seemingly growing more controlling and paranoid by the day. You can't help but wonder if he actually faked his way to his yandere registration, or if he genuinely earned it
Coming Home: platonic yandere father
Three years ago, your father was arrested for kidnapping you after failing to win cusotdy of you in the wake of your parents divorce. Now, he's been released. Coincidentally, there's been odd occurrences happening in your house, including missing items and strange noises late at night. You can't help but wonder if it's your father, and if it is, if he plans to take you away for good
Give and Take: paternal platonic yandere and zombie apocalypse
While being chased by zombies during a snow storm, you're separated from your parents. Afraid you're going to die from the cold, you stumble across a farm in the middle of the woods inhabited by a gruff looking middle-aged man. He invites you in and offers to take care of you until you're able to travel again. As the weeks stretch on, the rough exterior of the farmer melts as he turns into a concerned, almost doting parental figure. But when the weather starts to warm, his care begins to turn more sinister, controlling, and desperate, and it becomes obvious that leaving this farm house won't be as easy as entering it
One For You, One For Me: platonic yandere father and multiverse shenanigans
Your father is an award winning physicist who has done groundbreaking work in proving the existence of the multiverse. It was something he had always been passionate about, but he had completely immersed himself into after the death of your mother, spending all of his waking hours trying to find the right universe so he could bring her back, nevermind the child he left neglected at home. But, suddenly, his behavior has changed. Now he's eating dinners with you, helping you with your school work, taking an interest in your hobbies, but also switching you from public school to homeschooling, not letting you leave the house unattended, and guilt tripping and punishing you whenever you disobey. The sudden change has baffled you. It's almost like he's a completely different person...
For Family (and Fun): platonic yandere slasher older brother
Your older brother is the best person you know. He's funny, charismatic, smart, and incredibly kind. He helps you with homework, takes you out shopping, and always makes time to hang out with you. This is also on top of being your pseudo parent, as your actually parents are either too busy with work or caught up in their own lives to be there for you. Most siblings would have resented being forced into the role of a caretaker, but your brother has completed embraced it, often joking about being both a mother and father to you all at once. However, now that you're getting older and trying to act more independently, he seems to grow more distressed. A rigid perfectionist like him is unequiped to handle such a change. There's also a serial killer at large, targeting people at your school. Curiously, they're all people you know, and more strangely, people your brother has talked about being bad influences, people who take up too much of your time, teachers who are too hard on you, students who bully you. But that's all a coincidence, right?
