It's nice to know your city's protected, but who cleans up after the hero saves the day?Lisa Lesura is intimately aware of the aftermath. In a fit of frustration, she just wants these knuckleheads with too much power to clean up after themselves for a change. What she doesn't anticipate is falling for the morally gray, grumpy thirty-something who insists he's a villain – while the hero casually makes her life harder, because as expected, stroking his ego is more important than actually being helpful when it counts.The villain–Creator Chaos–insists nothing good comes from doing good, but will this Dangerous Little Flower turn his whole philosophy on its head?

The manga-inspired novel nobody asked for, but was written anyway.As Benimaru and Aaron prepare to leave Benson City to go to Beni's dream school, Vermillion University, Aaron's ex-girlfriend, Laurelie, shoves odd ideas into Benimaru and Aaron's heads. It was Beni or her, she said to Aaron, so Aaron chose Beni. Aaron always chooses Beni. Have the fangirls of their long-time bromance seen something the two men have ignored all along?Reeling from these realizations, it becomes apparent that Benimaru's stepsister, Alex, and her roommates are a trio of odd ducks. Tenseiga and Tetsuya bicker constantly, dropping phrases like "e;idiot dragon"e; and "e;stupid fox"e; with Tetsuya mentioning how "e;mortals find their behavior weird"e; as if the two aren't obviously human themselves.Despite being a workaholic, Alex is always warm and open with Beni and Aaron, insisting they live with her while they're at Vermillion. So it was a bit of a surprise when she said they could go anywhere but the left wing on the second floor with cold precision. As if she warned that death itself awaited anyone who entered that space.Then Benimaru has a run-in with extended family members with unnaturally colored eyes and dangerous auras. One of them has his sights on Beni like a meal, which has Aaron on edge.Benimaru was worried about surviving the semester, but sometimes he wonders if he and Aaron will make it to next week.Approx. 44,281 words
