LAWLESS FRAGMENTS: 91 Days Fanfiction
He's died before. He'll die again. This time, he's making it count.
Rio Ceriano has survived the impossible: a mafia massacre that killed his family seven years ago. Now he runs a speakeasy in Chicago, keeps his head down, and avoids complications. Easy. Safe. Boring.
Then Angelo Lagusa—his childhood friend who vanished the night of the massacre—walks back into his life with a letter, a new identity, and a plan for revenge against the Vanetti crime family.
Rio's answer? Hard pass.
But Rio isn't quite human. He reincarnates. He's lived dozens of lives, died dozens of deaths, and carries fragmented memories of each one—combat instincts he shouldn't have, knowledge of organized crime from eras he's never lived through, and the bone-deep understanding that attachment only leads to pain.
He's also dangerously, catastrophically bored.
"Fine. But I'm doing this the lazy way."
In Prohibition-era Lawless, Illinois, Rio and Angelo infiltrate the very family that destroyed their lives. The plan is simple: get close, earn trust, turn the families against each other, and watch them burn from within.
The problem? The Vanetti family is more than a target. Nero Vanetti is honorable and magnetic. Vanno treats them like real friends. Even the don shows them respect. And Rio's fragmented memories make him too good at this—too competent, too smooth, too dangerous.
People notice.
Worse, Rio makes his fatal mistake: he starts caring.
About Angelo's self-destructive spiral into vengeance. About their friend Corteo's moral collapse. About people who should be enemies but feel like something more.
The detachment that's kept him alive through countless lifetimes begins to crack.
As the Orco family wages war, the Galassia family circles like sharks, and Angelo's revenge plot reaches its bloody climax, Rio faces an impossible choice: survive or stay loyal.
His instincts scream run—he'll reincarnate anyway. His heart whispers something far more dangerous: stay.
In a world built on betrayal, where every alliance is temporary and every friend might be tomorrow's corpse, Rio discovers that living forever means nothing if you never truly live.
Lawless is about to burn.
And for once, Rio's going down with it.
