Summary
As far as Polnareff is concerned, his life has been a blur of whirlwind romance up until the moment he and Avdol moved into a picturesque neighborhood. They couldn't have picked a more perfect place; their neighbors are friendly, if a bit creepy with their smiles, and the town is a cute vintage aesthetic. It's a wonderful world, that anyone who comes by never wants to leave.
Ever.
Or: Somehow, to the horror of the Speedwagon Foundation, Jean Pierre Polnareff has taken an entire town hostage. Jotaro believes someone else is involved. Because how else is his friend living a sitcom life with someone whose been dead for several years?

“I saved Italy.”
He says it with such a conviction, but there is something amiss. Like he is unsure of who that is directed towards; if it was a statement meant for Risotto’s ears or the boy’s own corrupted conscience.
“You did, for a time.” Risotto concedes with a solemn nod. “Until you brought your little golden age upon us.”
Or: Risotto Nero, with everything to lose, fights an unhinged young man with a god complex.

Summary
"I was not there when you needed me most, my son. But I am here now, when the alignment is right. Your magnetic pull has altered that of gravity itself, forever." The priest's eyes were fervent. His hand was atop Risotto's, guiding it to the ground. The earth beneath was singing out to him, the magnetic pull intensifying, the pebbles at his feet shaking with his welling emotion.
"Tell me, Risotto Nero, do you believe in gravity?"
Alternatively: If you thought raining poisonous frogs was weird, imagine the Florida weatherman panickedly announcing that Earth's magnetic field is being altered.
Or: Risotto Nero, having lost his family and wanting to even the odds with Giorno, decides to get on his level with the world-burning policy.

Summary
“What have you done?” He leans forward with genuine intrigue. Gold flecked eyes narrow in the shadows, seeking out where the trickery lies. That perhaps this is an illusion of sorts to test his wit.
The smile she flashes is bright and terribly beautiful.
“What was necessary.” She replies in a sultry, melodious voice soothing to the ears. “Nothing more than what you haven’t done to gain your own immortality.”
Or: Enya, retold with Circe vibes.

Summary
Risotto Nero has been sent back in time with three things; his requiem stand, the arrow in his pocket, and all the terrible memories of what is to come.
It's 1999. His team is alive. He still has a chance to salvage relationships, prevent the war that is to come, and get the jump on certain enemies first before they get him. If he really wanted, he could even take the heavy crown of don for himself. But all he wants is to keep his team alive no matter what.
But this timeline isn't exactly as he remembers it. Things are changing, whether by his actions or by themselves. Can he save those that he loves with this second and last chance, or will it all be for nothing?
**SEQUEL TO: "war is not for winning / it is for survival" series. MUST READ THAT FIRST!**

Summary
I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn MY LIFE to make the sunrise that I know I'll never see. No, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? . . . EVERYTHING. - Andor (2022)
In the aftermath of the funeral, Risotto Nero prays in desperation to keep his surviving team safe. Fate seems to listen.
Everything is altered, though not necessarily for the better.

Summary
Her other hand wraps itself delicately around his wrist, attempting to placate him even as he chokes the life from her. So greedy is he for her knowledge, yet he is so easily dissatisfied if it does not align with his predictions. All of these unnecessary, dramatic antics are maddening for her to endure. Even her son, for all his violent tendencies and unfortunate temper, never stooped to such lengths.
Sometimes, though she’ll never admit it, she finds it exhausting. How is it that she is equal parts devoted servant, awaiting nymph, doting mother, and all-seeing oracle?
(Or: OVA Dio and Enya, spiraling into madness and mutually assured destruction in drabbles.)

Summary
Scary Monsters isn’t just a Stand or some animalistic personality, there is an otherworldly sentience. It doesn’t have the ability to form complex conversations with its user, but it can push forth its feelings in Diego’s mind sometimes.
For example, Diego’s young is his young too – that means there is a cause for care. The need to train, to teach them to hunt, has been going off like an incessant alarm in his head ever since Giorno’s transformation.
They need to be strong, Scary Monsters says. They need to be ready. Although what exactly for, it never elaborates on.
Or: Diego takes his boys on an outing. Raptor family style.

Summary
The pale flesh of her legs could be seen, hiked all the way up to her thighs, and right before she pulled her skirts back down, that was when Rikiel saw the troubling detail.
“Mama,” he spoke up hesitantly, head turning to look down towards it. “You got an owie?”
Or: Hot Pants always knew, sooner or later, she'd have to tell her children about the uncle they never met.
