AN: I strongly recommend you to watch before continuing the chapter. SPOILER ALERT.__________________________Christmas and New Year passed by quickly, along with my tenth birthday. I got some pretty good video games including Pokemon, Fallout 2, and Super Mario 64 with my own Nintendo 64. I knew of these games when I heard their names, especially Pokemon with their massive franchise beginning from the games and moving into anime. But for some reason, I have no memory of playing them in my past life.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

July 2003, Kloves Residence, LondonTobias took a deep breath as he entered his employer's villa.

Four teenagers were sitting in front of it, and two boys (Jamie…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Scarlett cleared her throat awkwardly and tried again. “I’m sorry, Troy. I got a little carried away and didn’t see where I was going.”“I’m fine, Ms. Johansson. Are you okay?” I smiled at the future Black Widow in a stunning red dress. Her golden blonde hair fell to her shoulders in soft curls, perfectly complementing her vibrant green eyes, making her look out of this world. Of course, a big contributing factor to her look was her plunging neckline and her larger than usual bust.She nodded…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

October 2007, Kloves Residence, London“Do you realize how stupid that move was?” Mum asked, her voice steeped in disappointment. “I thought you were better than this, Troy.

Seeing the Box Office results of , I was cursing myself. Why the fuck didn’t I accept WB’s deal of profit sharing instead of a fixed salary? With my salary of $5m, which was 5% of the budget, I could have easily netted $23m from the theatrical rights alone. Not to mention, the DVD and VHS sales. I’m still not fully sure what the reason for ’s success was, but one thing was given, it was all because of me. Till now, all the films I had done were already hit films in the original timeline, so I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

As I looked down at the revised production budget of , I couldn’t help but curse my stubbornness. Not only had my father saved me $50k by offering cameras and other equipment, but he had also gone over each item on the list, struck out those that he thought were unnecessary, and suggested cheaper alternatives. When he was done, our final budget of $1m had come down to $920k. So instead of being over budget by $150k, I was saving $80k.“You won’t save this money either,” Dad had said after finalizing…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
