A story focused on the Smiling Critters, but mainly on catnap... and their afterlife? (Just to be clear... this story was written for personal entertainment and so I could see what a story written by me would be like ;) , if anyone ever reads this, it's because I finally mustered the courage to share my story with you...) (I also have to say, and repeat, as in the title, that the spotlight is entirely on Catnap. I really like the character; I've always seen a lot of stories about him... and about Dogday, of course...) (I also have to explain that if some words don't make much sense, it's because English isn't my native language, so don't blame me ;) Anyway, I hope this turns out well...)

"Some souls don't meet for the first time-they remember each other through different lifetimes, until they finally get it right." He carries a grief he can't name, as if something once essential to him was taken before he learned its shape. In his dreams, a faceless presence lingers-familiar in a way that unsettles more than it comforts. Time moves on, life rearranges itself, and yet something keeps pulling him toward a future he doesn't understand. Then one day, paths cross in a place meant for new beginnings, where recognition stirs without reason... as if forgetting was never the end of their story.

He forgot her. Not just her name... but her smile, her voice, the promise he swore to keep. He lived as a demon. Killed without hesitation. Forgot what it meant to love. But at the very end- when everything was finally taken from him- she was the only thing he remembered. Now, in the afterlife, Akaza is faced with the one person he never deserved to see again. Koyuki. The girl he loved. The girl he lost. The girl who waited for him... even after everything. But forgiveness isn't easy. And even in death, some sins don't fade. So the question is- can a monster who forgot how to love... learn how to stay?

Billy is gay and a believer, trying to find a peaceful connection between both of them more chapters coming soon, when I have time. Thanks for reading :)

In the afterlife, ghosts no longer wander dark graveyards. They eat ramyeon. Watch CRT televisions. File complaints. Cause accidents. And somehow survive together inside a strange space station drifting beyond time. Welcome to Friends - a sci-fi sitcom disguised as a ghost story. A dokkaebi who talks too much. A Grim Reaper tired of everything. A mysterious Messenger who always makes situations worse. Agent M, the exhausted underworld office worker. Huldra, who treats disasters like entertainment. And the General... the only person capable of controlling all of them. Somewhere between: old Korean village memories, underworld administration, absurd cosmic philosophy, and instant noodles at midnight... they continue living together. Sometimes funny. Sometimes warm. Sometimes deeply strange. But even ghosts need a place that feels like home.

For fans of The Mist, Dark Matter, and The Last of Us. Michael Hart is a man hollowed out by grief. Two years after losing his wife, Sarah, he survives on the rigid armor of routine-same tea, same bus stop, same silence. But during a high‑voltage repair at a substation, the routine breaks. 33,000 volts surge through him, and instead of dying, Michael slips. He wakes up in a world that has developed seams. He can see the invisible machinery of death: ultraviolet filaments drifting through hospital corridors, spectral anomalies stalking the edges of reality. As a predatory "Anomaly" begins to hunt him through the cracks in the world, Michael faces an impossible choice: Allow the cycle to collapse, or become the very thing that manages the end of all things.

I felt like writing an Au of Jujutsu Kaisen. All of Jujutsu Kaisen's plot/characters go to Gege Akatami. I also don't read the manga, so my knowledge doesn't extend beyond the anime. So, if things don't add up or some rules have been changed, ignore it. I'm just trying to have fun here. Also, some ships with my OCs, so if you don't want to see your fav characters shipped with one of my OCs, this is not the place for you. Again, I'm just here to have fun.
