Continuation of the adventures Joy City's heroes get into. This is a collaboration between me and jojkk, an artist on deviantart.

My dearest Sir or Madam – Good society is not exempt from the ubiquitous underbelly of forks and cakes, though I confess I never expected to be so entirely undone by it. Nor by Oliver Fitzgibbon. Fair Oliver! Two years my senior and newly come to town – handsome, observant and possessed, I think, of the same gentle temper as myself. Yet in a world that demands discretion, I fear my admiration may prove a dangerous indulgence. With best wishes, I remain, &c., &c. – Timothy.

Luka and his best friend Devin, two resilient, homeless young men fighting to survive as hustlers on the unforgiving streets, face a life-changing moment when an enigmatic, affluent client crosses their path. This powerful stranger presents them with a jaw-dropping opportunity, an unconventional job that will challenge their friendship like never before. As they plunge headfirst into this rousing experience, they will face harsh scenarios, uncover buried secrets, and be forced to redefine their loyalty to one another. Will their relationship emerge stronger than before, or will their trials ultimately unravel their bond?

The story is based off comic fans prompt # 110 - creating evil.

Griffin Forrester is a Former FBI profiler, who had struggled for the last 10 years, with both his psychic abilities, and the disgrace of living with the reality that not even those powers, allowed him to see the evil that was always right in front of him. He's tried to hide from his past, but when a child Is abducted, and her parents are brutally murdered in a ritualistic manner eerily similar to the case that cost him his career, he's dragged back into a world where belief and wishes don't always set you free to fly.

This one comes from Prompt #71.
