Paper Hearts
Paper Star x Gender Neutral Reader
Finally, another caper. Paper Star was good at her job yet her unhinged nature caused her to be tied onto a tight leash. But now her little “timeout” was over and she was back on the scene once more.
The National Museum of color. The most vibrant place in the world filled with all forms of art. She hadn’t been paying much attention to Countess Cleo’s ramble but she wanted some sort of butterfly themed dress. She jumped down from the ceiling beams and onto the paint splattered floor. Paper Star loved chaos as much as the next villain but these colors were too much. At least she made it look flattering with pastels instead of throwing some colors together and calling it a day.
This mission was too boring for her. No sign of Carmen Sandiego or Shadow San? Of course they’d make her go on these types of missions. She had managed to snatch the dress and was about to make it to the helicopter yet something stopped the thief in her tracks. She had never seen anything like it.
A room that housed a large frame. Inside that frame was a landscape made purely out of folded paper. Hills with vibrant flowers and butterflies, trees that housed origami monkeys, and fish swimming in light blue water. She cautiously took a few steps closer, reading the name on the frame.
“Serenity Party by F/n L/n”
Who? Paper Star had never heard that name before. What an underrated gem. Surely their other works were just as good. She glided her fingers against the glass, wishing she could be in that picture. She had time to spare, she could take it with her, perhaps store it in her room. Although she knew VILE would most likely want it, or that she would be in trouble for jeopardizing the mission or whatever. “They always wanna ruin my fun..” She muttered to herself, cringing at the thought of your masterpiece being forced to attend Cleo’s villain dinner parties. “I’ll see you soon.” But not soon enough for her. She sticked a tracker on the back of the frame and made her get away. Once she was secure on the helicopter she took her phone out of her pocket. Time to do some research on a specific artist.
—-The Next Morning—-
“You’re quite lucky L/n. Only one thing was stolen and it wasn’t your work.” You let out a sigh of relief, adjusting your guest badge. “Now your meet will start soon. Be on the lookout for any suspicious characters.” You stood next to your piece, nodding. “Thank you.” You knew the manager wouldn’t hear your silent gratitude but oh well.
“The artist behind the art” meet wasn’t going very well for you. So many talented artists had crowds as they stood next to their work. Yet for the past two hours your area had been completely deserted. Some people would past by but not long enough for you to start talking about your piece. Maybe you shouldn’t have submitted your work at all. You knew the art director was hesitant to put it in. Maybe they were right. Origami wasn’t a real art. Painters, sculptures, fashion designers worked so hard. All you did was sit down and fold paper all day. Your parents were right, it wasn’t too late to change your major, to find a more successful career. You picked up the sides of the frame and went to take it off the wall but a chill and the blur of colors that rushed past you made you freeze.
“Hello?” You looked around, trying to find someone. You went to pick up your painting until you noticed something that had been pinned to your jacket. You held the origami rose in your hand, reading the ink that had been written on the stem.
“I look forward to seeing more of your work.
-Your biggest fan
P.S. Let’s hang out sometime.”
Paper Star knew she could get in huge trouble for getting close to someone who wasn’t apart of VILE but she could deal with it. This felt like something she absolutely had to do. There was something about you. Perhaps she did have a heart, one that she folded with blood red paper only for you.

The Paper Stars AU won the poll so here it is!!!
So this is basically a Secret Agent AU
Sun and Moon, two of the top agents in their field are tasked with stopping Y/N, an ex-agent turned international super thief. Sun and Moon are the only people to have captured them (even though they escaped during transport) and the only ones so far to fully figure out their clues and secrets left behind.
Meanwhile Y/N enjoys the challenge of a good heist, even more so with a couple of agents on their heels. They always leave behind a paper star at each heist location as a calling card, and Sun and Moon were the first to realize they leave hints for what their next target is going to be.
Sun is a bit of a tinkerer in this AU, often testing and creating new gadgets for him and Moon to use in the field! He's better at hacking ane coding than he is at inventing and mechanics, but a few of his inventions have proven quite useful
Moon is far better at putting Sun's gadgets to use than Sun is, but he's also known for being resourceful and quick on his feet. He's still got an old injury that was never properly repaired right but that doesn't stop him.
Y/N was once the agency's top operative, specializing in disguise and covert missions. After a huge mission gone awry Y/N took a year off duty before suddenly abandoning the agency and become a world renowned thief. Nobody is quite sure how or why and Y/N refuses to explain.
As much as Y/N adores the two they aren't the type to pull their punches. Often tying the agents up to make a get away or roughing them up in a fist fight. They're the very definition of a wild card. Nobody can ever be sure if they'll slip in and out of a heist through stealth or make a big show out of pulling off a caper, and that uncertainty makes the entire organization jumpy which is just how Y/N likes it
