'''''Argyros''''' is an UrbanFantasy[=/=]BlackComedy story created by {{Tropers/Trashconverters}}, which is yet to be fleshed out, but may eventually become either a novel or comic.

In a universe where alchemists are considered medical professionals in their own right, Heron Argyros is one of the greatest in the world. Problem is, [[BrilliantButLazy he's much more concerned with dry cider and beautiful women]]. Now, he's discovered the secret to eternal life, but at a terrible cost. [[TouchOfDeath Everything he touches with the palm of his hand dies.]]

Meanwhile, tech support guy and recovering alcoholic Charlie Reid makes friends with one of the newer attendants of his local A.A. meeting; a hedonistic genius who adamantly denies he has a drinking problem.

Joined by an EnsembleCast, including Heron's secretary, the brilliant but sardonic (and extremely flirtatious) Zehra Tiryaki, and Charlie's A.A. friends, WomanChild Max Milson and neurotic single father Declan Corcoran and his wayward daughter Abby, Charlie is thrown into the tumultuous world of the alchemists, and his new found friendship proves more dangerous than he could have possibly imagined.

* ArtisticLicense: The story conveniently omits some of the more religious aspects of Alcoholic's Anonymous. The explanation given in-universe for this is that as an inner-city group, you're more likely to get agnostic and atheist members, and the whole "Power greater than ourselves" thing infuriates too many people for the group to bother acknowledging it.
