Sopranos: Family Head System

MARVEL_DC_Dc
Vinnie was a thirty-four-year-old financial analyst in Hoboken whose life ended on a rain-slicked Turnpike, only to restart in 1999 at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. He has transmigrated into the body of the heir to a small, fractured crime family, just as Tony Soprano’s era is beginning to bloom. Bound to the Made Man Path System, Vinnie must navigate the deadly politics of the DiMeo crime family using a survival interface that tracks his Respect, Heat, and Sanity. Unlike the impulsive "cowboys" of North Jersey, Vinnie uses his meta-knowledge and Business Acumen to transform waste management and extortion into a data-driven empire. While managing a complicated alliance with a prosecutor and entertaining Christopher Moltisanti’s Hollywood dreams, he must stabilize his Morality Index to avoid the psychological rot that claims men in his position. Somewhere between a sit-down at the Bada Bing and a high-stakes territory expansion, Vinnie realizes the System’s ultimate goal isn't just survival—it’s ensuring that when the screen finally goes black, he’s the one holding the remote.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
