Brooklyn 99: The 99th Variable

MARVEL_DC_Dc
a man wakes up in the body of Marcus Cole, a detective at Brooklyn’s 99th Precinct. Along with his new life, he discovers he is bound to the Detective Instinct System (DIS), a supernatural cognitive enhancement that provides him with a mental HUD and high-level analytical tools. Navigating the eccentricities of the 99th squad—from Jake Peralta’s antics to Captain Holt’s stoicism—Marcus must use the System to solve complex cases that the show never touched. While the squad focuses on teamwork and traditional police work, Marcus relies on his "Social Perception Meter" and pattern recognition to see the variables others miss. Whether dealing with corporate conspiracies like Apex Holdings or tracking the elusive serial killer known as "The Hunter," Marcus is a new kind of detective in the precinct: one who sees the world through the lens of data, truth, and calculated instincts. The System: Detective Instinct System (DIS) Investigative HUD: Provides a real-time mental interface that highlights forensic anomalies, tracks evidence threads, and accelerates pattern recognition at crime scenes. Social Perception Meter: A specialized function that quantifies Marcus’s standing with his colleagues and the public. It tracks "Trust" and "Reputation" levels, showing how his actions directly impact the squad's dynamics and his standing within the NYPD. Mission & Case Logic: The System identifies "Cases" and "Missions" with clear difficulty tiers. Successfully closing these cases provides rewards that help Marcus upgrade his physical and mental attributes. Truth Analysis: Allows Marcus to detect inconsistencies in statements and micro-expressions, effectively turning interrogations into a data-driven process where the objective truth is the only goal.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
