Fan Fic
- It's a Mistake by sauceboss_yahoo (2023), Explicit, Johnny Cage was no stranger to Hollywood scandals. After all the serious world-ending threats he faced, picking up a gossip magazine and seeing people care about such drivel put a smile on his face. If he was in it, too? All the better. But when one of those columns feature a rumor about him and his best friend, he's forced to struggle with an aspect of his public image he had under lock and key. And honestly? Fighting for the fate of Earthrealm was easier.
