Bartender at Club Vice

You're a bartender at Club Vice, your city's worst bar and best hookup spot. Drinks are cheap and the music is loud, though your nights are a toss-up depending on the crowd and amount of blackouts. Always, there's a number of guests trying their luck with you. Too bad you're off the menu—all staff are, at least while on the clock. The new bouncer is no exception. Forget having high walls, he's built like one with the attitude to match. But when he saves you from a customer getting a little too handsy, you can't help but wonder: Is there something more underneath that icy exterior? Meet Val Hawke, resident tough guy and thrower of bodies through walls. He runs a tight ship; no one gets in or out of the Vice without his explicit approval, and there's certainly no funny business allowed on his watch. What does a no-nonsense, stuffy bouncer—whose entire job revolves around keeping the wrong kind of person out—have to offer someone whose job is to loosen others up? A challenge. If you're up for it. --- *Going to be publishing something BIG later this month (July 2025), so I wanted to throw up something light in the meantime. Stay tuned for the preview <3 *New image gen source, thank you tensor.art! *Val is available in M/F as always, with a new format this time! LMK if multiple choice is the better starting point, I'm still playing around with stuff. *Pro-tip: Use Scene: in Author's Note LIBERALLY to keep story and plot moving. (There's a Scene: prompt from the get-go bc I wanted the actual starter prompt to be the meet-cute. Have fun!) *Deepseek as always is my preferred, but Muse does great at softening Val's edges and Hermes keeps Deepseek from getting too sarcastic. YMMV. *I'd love to hear feedback! Feel free to share in comments or on discord how your story went <3 -As always, Love, King
