You lean forward, nearly falling off of your chair in the process. Squinting your eyes into narrow lines, you focus on one, crucial objective:

Trying to figure out what the hell is sitting right in front of you.

He looks like a cat, sort of. He reminds you of Josie, or, well, 529, with his feline-esque features and all.

Oh, you really should summon Josie here again sometime. It's been quite a while since you last have. That cat makes a good cuddle buddy. Even if she's missing the entire other half of her body.

You hum in thought, continuing to careen forward from your chair. No! This thing across from you is nothing like Josie. His ears look more like a bear, like 1048. Or could he be a dog? No, no... You've got it! He's definitely a rat!

Leaning back, you return to a proper sitting position and internally applaud yourself for finding the solution to your own ridiculous question. A rat, you think to yourself, face smug. Reminds me of a certain mask that drips black snot.

Wait a minute. The satisfied expression you adorn falters as you inspect the rat closer. What if it's not a rat, but a mouse?!

No, you're getting sidetracked! You take another bite of the banana you have graciously been given by your... captors? Do they count as captors if you willingly went with them?

The clearing of a throat. "Excuse me. If you could please answer the question..."

Oh, right. They're not really your 'captors,' just your interrogators, (that provide you with free food, might you add).

"What was the question again?" you ask, before not-so-elegantly stuffing the rest of the banana down your throat. You couldn't help but cave into your stomach's hunger; you haven't tasted this quality of fresh food in years! No more scavenging for meals or rummaging through garbage bins!

The man in uniform raises an inquiring eyebrow. You examine the badge attached to his right breast pocket: 'Detective Tsukauchi.'

He gestures to his side. "He asked you for your name."

Your eyes follow his hand's movements, and you find yourself gazing at the rat once more. "Oh, I wasn't paying attention." You admit shamelessly, grabbing another banana from the bowl placed before you. "I'm Y/N."

"Pleasure to meet you, Y/N." The rat smiles. You absentmindedly nod in response. "I'm Nezu, the principal of U.A. High. The man beside me is Detective Tsukauchi," you glance at the final stranger, "and this is Aizawa, a teacher at this school. He is also the one who found you. We would like to ask you some questions, as you are already aware."

"Sure," you comply, shoving another banana into your mouth. "I don't mind."

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen, I think."

"Who are your parents?"

You shrug, nonchalantly reaching for another banana. "Don't have any."

Nezu's grin widens slightly, and you watch him place a paw below his jaw. "Would you be comfortable telling us about what happened in that alley?"

Cocking your head to the side, you carefully peel off the banana's skin. "Which one?"

The detective speaks up. "The one you were found in."

Chewing another bite of your food, you tap a finger to your chin in thought. "Well, I was asleep until I heard a bunch of noise." Slowly, you turn to Nezu, replicating his ear-to-ear smile as you dramatically retell your experience.

"I looked up from my home, my beloved alleyway cardboard box, and saw two groups of people fighting. I decided to hide in my box until it was all over, but then one of them crashed into my home. They crumpled my box, and my hiding spot was revealed! The two groups started arguing about 'gang territory,' or whatever, and one of them decided to use me as a hostage and pointed a gun to my head."

You sink your teeth into your banana once more, oblivious to the horrified looks from every adult in the room.

"Oh, but it was fine," you casually continue, mouth half-full, "since, you know, I took care of it and all."

"When you say that you 'took care of it,'" the detective asks cautiously, "do you mean that you used your quirk?"

"My... quirk?" You scratch the back of your neck. "I guess it's my quirk? Don't know too much about 'quirks,' to be honest. I've never been to a doctor, or whatever specialist you go to for checking those out."

"Could you describe to us what it was that you exactly did?"

You gulp down the rest of your banana before replying. "You mean, in that alley? I summoned, or, like, conjured up one of those, uh." You pause, replacing 'SCPs' with another word to prevent further confusion. "Creatures? One of those creatures."

Tsukauchi looks you in the eye. "These creatures that you summon." You glance at the detective's hands, and you notice that they're trembling. "What do they do? What do they look like?"

"Usually I summon them to help and protect me." You explain with a shrug, "Oftentimes I encounter people who want to hurt me for some reason. There's a bunch of, er, 'creatures,' that I can summon, and they don't typically look like your perception of what's 'normal.'"

You continue, "There are endless possibilities, really. One looks like a teddy bear, just covered in human ears." Tsukauchi's eyes widen, as if his suspicions have been confirmed. "There's some that are long and bony. Some of them have these gigantic claws and razor-sharp mouths. Some of them are all gooey and acidic-"

"I believe that's enough." You turn to the side, taking a brief glimpse at Aizawa, who is standing beside you. Those were the only words he's spoken this entire time.

Turning back to the other two, you're about to grab another banana when you catch sight of the detective. You stare awkwardly, your hand paused mid-air. He seems to have completely spun on his heel to face away from you, hands clutching the wall as he gags and dry heaves. You scoot back in your chair uncomfortably.

"...And you do not have a home, correct?" Nezu stands up from his seat, approaching yours.

"Well, I did, but like I said, my cardboard box was destroyed because of those two rival gangs, or whoever they were."

"I see." He raises a paw so as to pet the top of your head. You clumsily bend down in your chair, allowing the two-foot-tall principal to reach your height. "We can arrange something for you. You may stay in a personal dorm here for free, if you would like." He smiles, "So long as you attend this school, the police force has also gladly agreed to erase your criminal record!"

You gawk at him. "C-criminal record?" Well, you guess you usually do end up leaving a mess of dead bodies behind, but it's always in self-defense!

"You should know it is illegal to use your quirk unlicensed and in public, Y/N."

Surveying the room, you dart your eyes from person to person. In the corner of the room, the detective, who is on the verge of vomiting up his insides. The man beside you, Aizawa, who refuses to look at you. The one standing in front of you, Nezu, who is blackmailing you, but is also offering you free shelter and free food...

You huff, grabbing Nezu's paw and shaking it wildly. "It's a deal, then."

I just want to read a romance where both of the MCs are batshit as fuck, totally bonkers, maybe even straight up insane. Especially if their craziness goes in opposite directions. Any recs?

Welll, it's easier to find crazy heroes than crazy heroines because misogyny (and I actually don't think I've read any queer books with two crazy leads, which I IMAGINE has something to do with the idea that queer books, especially sapphic books, need to be more "palatable").

But I've got some recs! I would as always, generally recommend Immortals After Dark because it's amazing (my favorite series ever, probably) and additionally.... The heroes are OFTEN insane, and the heroines often dance a little close to the edge too.

Special shoutouts:

Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole. This is... Rydstrom and Sabine are iNSANE. And the thing with him is that he's very repressed, and he wants to be Good. He gets kidnapped and sexually tormented by a completely insane, evil woman who eventually ends up falling for him, and vice versa. I will say--there's dubcon on both sides. She basically edges him while he's in chains in an attempt to get him to give in; ngl, it's really hot. And then there's dubcon when he gets out and is like "oooooh I am getting EVEN". There's a lot of "FINISH idnE" with this one.

Lothaire by Kresley Cole. So Ellie, our heroine, is really not crazy... for most of the book. She does do one Extremely Significant Thing, however, that is SO INSANE that I have to give her some credit there. And he's fully batshit. Like, I'll never forget beginning his POV in that book and he's covered in the remnants of his own carnage and is like "oh, I am NOOOOOOT playing with a full deck right now". Like, he's so self-aware about it? He's like "I may have lost my sanity, but I am NOT! losing my intelligence!!!! Or my hot bod!!!!"

Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole. Again, the heroine is less crazy than the hero, but Neomi still has a screw loose lol. Because she's the ghost of a murdered woman who's been trapped in a mansion for like, over a century! And she has to periodically dance against her will! So who can blame her for doing a striptease for a FULLY INSANE virgin vampire to provoke him into reacting so that she can prove he can see her? (One of my favorite scenes of all time--he's all gritted teeth like "I am NOT God's strongest soldier"). Conrad is so crazy that his vampire brothers, none of whom are super sane, are like "yeah we gotta lock him in this house to try to fix him". Conrad is so crazy, his POV changes tenses halfway through the book (a BRILLIANT narrative device to illustrate his state of mind). Conrad is so crazy he tries to cut his brother off when his brother is like "we kNOW you're a VIRGIN Conrad!!!" because he knows the pretty ghost lady is watching. He fails.

Also, a non IAD Kresley:

The Professional by Kresley Cole. This is an erotic Russian mafia romance; the heroine is kidnapped by the hero, who is her long lost father's enforcer. They immediately hook up on the plane ride to Russia, and we are off to the races because she is here to TORMENT him. I'm about to read the next two books in the trilogy, and I hear the heroes are even crazier. In this case, the heroine is just like. Brat to the EXTREEEME.

Alright, moving on from Kresley.

Mafia Madman by Mila Finelli. Erotic mafia romance. The hero is fully crazy, and with good reason--in the two preceding books in the series (a duet, which I would recommend; the hero is crazy, the heroine really isn't, and neither of them are anywhere near as crazy as Enzo lol) he was the villain, and the previous hero tortured the helll out of him. And he's been living in hiding on a yacht for like. Four years. Separated from his kids (he's a widower). Plotting his revenge. Which he kicks off when he sees the heroine (the previous hero's sister-in-law) on the catwalk. He asks her out for an Aperol spritz. She goes. He bLOWS UP THE BAR AND PLANTS A DEAD BODY IN ORDER FOR KIDNAP HER AND TAKE HER TO HIS YACHT AND KEEP HER IN A CAGE. I love this book. SO MUCH. It's an all time favorite. And Gia's response? Well, if he wants wild, she'll give him wild. So she starts doing naked yoga in the cage, knowing he and his minions can see her. And it just. Continues. From there. At one point he comes back COVERED in blood and he's like "get in the shower, you're going to service me~ while I tell you about my murders" and she like. SWOONS.

Run Posy Run by Cate C. Wells. Another mafia romance. The hero, Dario, is basically a psychopath, and he's the money guy for the local mob. He and the heroine, Posy, are live-in lovers, she expects a ring soon, she's grown up around the life and though the relationship is kind of meh (not abusive, but the sex isn't great, they don't really connect) she's kind of convinced herself that she loves him because he provides security. Someone sends him this video that's been doctored to seem like Posy was cheating, he loses his mind, Posy goes on the run, and then once he realizes the video was bullshit they begin like this... back and forth... of messing with each other's heads? Her teasing him, etc. Again, he's more obviously insane, but Posy WILDS OUT in this book.

Scandal's Bride by Stephanie Laurens. Historical, one of the best books I've read this year. They are both BATSHIT. Like, they meet in a graveyard and make out before saying hi. She believes her goddess has designated him as the father of her children. He's like "oh she is MINE". Heads up: she does drug him for their first encounter (because she's crazy) though he is an active participant--he just thinks he's dreaming. The rest of the book is this truly wiiiild ride wherein he baits her, she responds, she baits him, he responds, he's CONSTANTLY jumping her, she's constantly subjecting him to her weird witchy ways. It's AMAZING.
