All Win wants is for Team to notice him. To pay attention to him. Smile at him. Instead, Team keeps catching Win staring at him. Which isn't great, because Team is a little... surly.... more>>

Or...

Win doing his level best to appeal to his crush/bully until fate helps them (both) out a bit.

This is an alternate take on Win's "origin story" and how/why he got some piercings.

This was my submission for the "Stare" & "So you want a tattoo?" prompts for WinTeam Week 2023. However, I can't write one-shots, so this story will have a second part.

synopsis
two lunatic presidents. two superpowers' leaders with inflated egos and madness of aggrandizement, and the madness of controlling the world are dragging the world into a delusional, crazy, and uncontrollable surreal war.
Two conflicted presidents, each driven by delusion and greed, dream of ruling the globe. To meet their goals, they resort to fraud, bribery, and corruption. Alexander Monroe - the president of the Democratic Organization, and Suleiman Assad - the president of the Free Islamic Forces, find themselves dragged into an inevitable war. Barney Chaplin the entertainer, the nerdy minister of education who opposes the idiotic war. He became Monroe's deputy and was sent to the front lines in the Fata Morgana desert to entertain his troops, while clearly risking his own life. The performance of President Monroe and the members of his government is examined by the government psychiatrist Professor Cheers, and everyone understands that it is better that someone supervises her as well... During the illusory war, well-known Hollywood actors who have passed their time are forced to function as deadly commandos and go beyond enemy lines. Meanwhile, Barney is captured and looks to be executed until Monroe produces a plan to save him. Other countries and international organizations are restricted from intervening in this dire situation. Both leaders were charged with war crimes. To escape the consequences of their actions, they wield the Doomsday Device to hold the world hostage with incredible results.

Not too serious of a story, just sometimes gonna write in this when I'm thinking about *him* (Dylan). He is a roguish man who is... more>> balding but he acts like he isn't, and flips his hair over his head to hide it. He is a pathetic meow meow and he knows it, although he will try to impress people by acting sneaky. And he will pick your locks within your eyesight, but won't steal unless he is sure you don't see him. But of course you know he took it, you just saw him eyeing that jewel. Does he fight well? Uh, yeah, if he prepares enough. But overwhelmed and with only his dagger? Well, he might get some stabs in, but the man isn't a swashbuckler or a fighter by any means. Watch him get his teeth kicked in over a misunderstanding at a bar or gamble away an adventure's earnings in a single game and then make at least enough back to buy a drink and go to sleep. But don't underestimate him because between using poisons and powerful scrolls, he is most deadly when prepared and using a bow. He may not have many spells either but enough to do some damage. A rogue is as strong as the tools at his disposal, after all. And who says he can't talk to lost souls too? As a treat. Oh yeah, he looks middle aged but the man is 28. <<less

Prince Gerold has it pretty good. While he is third in line for the throne he has a soft bed, good food, and the ladies are at least willing to talk to him. That ends one horrible night. With the revolution in full swing, he found that his family were the first ones against the wall. ... more>>

Being introduced to the fact that reincarnation apparently is a thing firsthand, Gerold is reborn in a fantastical land. Mechanical golems stalk the streets spewing out noxious fumes while every citizen wields a strange black magic stone. Can our prince adapt to this new decidedly weird world? Or will he be subject to wry glances and snide whispering for his entire life? (probably)

His friends, much like hers, have taken to turning group outings into triple dates—where she’s always the odd one out.
