Lol, Dark Comedy still requires the Dark part, so sometimes we are going to focus on that. The comedy part rests in how the characters interact and impact with each other, which we haven't revealed much on yet! Some details aren't final, but so far we've got a cast of:

-The only half decent police officer who willingly lets himself be brainwashed into becoming a feral mob hitman and bites on command

-His twin brother, also a police officer, who is being paid thousands of dollars against his will and can't seem to romance someone not in the mob

-a son of a rival mob family who spends all year plotting 45 step plans to kill his family while working for the enemy

-the owner of a restaurant that is a mob front who engages in psychological warfare for fun

-an informant who's a disgustingly doting father but can't remember the name of his son's mother even at gun point

-the cleaner who spends his nights cleaning up crime scenes, and his days in college classes and has maybe slept for ten minutes this whole week and doesn't expect to make it to his next birthday

-Janus Ekans

really I am curious about any and all of your AUs but Virgil and Remus fighting for Janus' attention is what I'm most 👀👀👀 about

I'm incredibly honored that you asked!! The DLB au is a dark comedy psychological thriller created by both me and @theokusgallery! Short for "Dead Level Best", the story actually follows disillusioned Police Officer Remus Estrada after he catches the attention of Mob Prince Janus Ekans, who decides to make him into Janus's newest bodyguard, via brainwashing/conditioning/manipulation after faking Remus's death.

The consequence of this is that Remus gets horribly jealous protective of Janus (like a good guard dog) and therefore has an incredible amount of issues with the fact that Janus is interested in one of the cleaners he employs specifically to clean up dead bodies. Virgil is supposed to get a paycheck for this and every day he gets more certain that he's going to get put in a body bag, but hey, he kissed back. This is fine. Everything is fine. ((Janus actually enjoys them fighting over him because he likes being the center of attention.))

First of all, I love Deja Vu Remus. I want to give him little platonic forehead kisses because he is amazing and does not deserve the stuff he’s going through 😔😔😔

Second of all, I love Remus and Janus being gay and fighting the government. Their interactions bring me such joy and whimsy

Third of all, I want to fight Roman :)

That’s all! Thanks for letting me yap, have a nice day/night! :)

Me, waterboarding Remus in a nice thick sludge of trauma: its because he's my favorite :D

I'm so super glad that you've been enjoying my superheroes and super villains au. Janus and Remus getting to be gay and fight the government was literally the whole point of the story. Them getting to punch Roman in the face several times is just an added bonus now. And making you want to fight Roman means that I did my author-y job right 🫡 One day we are going to get that dickwad (Roman) to re-evaluate himself, but today is not the day and tomorrow is not looking so good.

Thank you so much for the wonderful message and happy reading!! :D

thank you for writing it <3

😍😍Hi!!! Oh my god!! I'm so honored!! Glitters Like Gold is honestly on of my favorite of my fics, just because I think I did a good job of showing each of the characters quirks and skills in a one-shot of all things. We need more fics where Remus is a chaotic genius, in my opinion.

Also that fic shaped a lot of how I write the twins now. I think that was the first time I really managed to fit their banter in the story. And then Roman spending the entire time distracted by Janus because he's gay and an appreciator of art: really it doesn't get more fun than writing Roman very fucking clearly missing the warning signs because Janus smiled at him.

Hey! I'm thrilled that you like Smoke and Mirrors! It is still in progress, like most of my works (hnnnnng) just because i had some things come up in my personal life towards the end of the year. I have full intentions to finish it.... I just don't have a time frame for when.

But I seriously have too much of it written to never go back to it. There's so much I haven't gotten to even talk about: Roman and Remus's Parents, their abilities, the pest control company, Remus's comic, Virgil and Janus's history, Logan's commitment, Remy existence, Patton-

so yeah! Bare with me for a bit please! I promise you wont wanna miss the rest!
