Spoonful Of Sugar;; QK
Some ambitions are too grand to pursue by oneself. With the assistance of NeoTech Laboratories finest, however, anything is possible. The recognition they’ve garnered for their countless breakthroughs and their reputation as the future’s trailblazer is well-earned. Scientists tear each other apart for a chance to work within these infamous walls but for you it’s all just a means to an end. You have no wish except to see your dream come to fruition.
After all, isn’t playing God what scientists do best?
Mad Scientist AU, animal testing / abuse, soft but unethical science, blood and concussions, some pretty graphic depictions of violence, thriller / suspense with horror elements, YANDERE!!

For the visual aspect one... TBT Kun 👀

This is the first fic from my 750 Milestone Event that focused around the senses. As such the inspiration for this came from WayV’s Turn Back Time MV.
The experiments were a failure. Trial after trial provided more of the same disappointing results. Hard pressed on time and with your sponsors riding your back, you knew you were on thin ice. If you couldn’t pull off some kind of miracle and soon, you’d be out of a job. Which wasn’t a big deal, not really. While the money was nice and the resources were phenomenal, what mattered to you was the simple fact that you were allowed to perform your research in the first place.
No one else had ever considered your work to be necessary, and those that humoured you found your theory to be too outrageous, too implausible. They weren’t visionaries. They couldn’t see what you saw, couldn’t grasp the possibility of something far greater than them. It took you years to land this job with its stable and dependable team of experts all determined to make your dream a reality. Never once had you experienced this level of support before. If you lost it, you knew you’d have wasted your entire life.
Kun smiled before nodding at the intern waiting by the computer. Despite it being your research, it was still NeoTech’s lab. Without your assigned partner (though you thought Kun was more of a guardian than a partner - a watchful eye to make sure you remained on track), you’d hold no real authority. Nothing happened without his say-so. You could ask for a coffee and the interns would still look to him for approval. Everything, down to the notes you took, were under his scrutiny. Hell, if Kun ordered the room to hold their breath until their faces turned blue, there would be a whole lot of unconscious scientists to deal with. That was the power he held within your lab.
“Yes, Dr. Qian, running the tests now.”
It was deserved. He had more experience and education than you did. His position within the company was much higher than yours could ever be. You, an outsider, hadn’t earned the respect of your peers. You couldn’t even get your own experiments to work. All the bravada you had entered the company with was long gone. A whole year passed and you were no closer to a breakthrough now than you had been working in your own basement. Employed on a temporary basis, you had less than a month to make some real progress.
The intern pressed a few buttons on the touch-screen computer and the rats were released into the glass cube. They scurried about, sniffing the walls and each other. There were four: all white with red eyes. Well-fed and plump, they wobbled as they moved. You found them to be cute. Praying you had addressed the hyper-aggression issue prior trials had experienced, you interlocked your clammy hands and watched.
