Summary
Akechi had had every intention of shooting Ren in the interrogation room and claiming victory over his rival after setting him up for capture at Sae's palace. It was supposed to be so simple - he would go in, shoot Ren in the head, arrange the scene to make it a suicide, and then leave to carry out the next parts of his plans. But Ren, who's looking far too calm and collected for someone seconds away from death, invites him for one last conversation at the table. As a last gesture of respect, Goro agrees to this request...starting off a chain of events that completely derails the rigged and twisted game that a megalomaniac dictator and god have tried to trap them in.
And all the while, Goro cannot figure out the enigma that is Ren Amamiya, and how he knows far more than what should be possible...

Summary
There’s something familiar about the boy that piqued Akira’s interest before he even caught his "pancakes" slip-up. A feeling that he didn’t quite understand in the moment, a rush of emotion that came and went as quickly as a bolt of lightning.
And it isn’t just because Akechi is a straight up hottie. Akira feels as if he knows the detective better than Akira knows himself, although he has no memory of meeting Akechi before today. Akira’s not sure what it all means, all he knows is that he desperately needs to find out.
Akira stops at the cafe door, turns to his tiny furry human friend, and declares, “I’m getting that guy’s number tomorrow.”
*** Akira catches Akechi's slip-up when they first meet. Now he just needs to figure out what to do about it. ***

Summary
Ren arrives a few days early to Tokyo and is promptly run over (via bicycle) by a certain detective. This accidental meeting sparks an intense friendship that neither boy is willing to let go of, even as forces begin conspiring to set them against one another. Whether it’s Masayoshi Shido or the God of Control, nothing in hell is going to divide Joker and Crow.

xest
Yuuki Mishima struggles with life After Akira. Akira will come back one day, and all he has to do is wait it out. Be patient. That's easier said than done, but Yuuki is determined to pull through. A year or two or ten will be nothing once Akira is back, and then he'll be happy.

chs
After losing Prim, Shinya thought he was okay with change and with loss.
Turns out that wasn't true. There were bigger things for him to lose, like his best and only friend. Falling in love wasn't what Shinya planned to do, but here he was: in love, and wishing to any god that would listen to make it stop.
Shinya wasn't ready for change. Not yet. Not ever. But the world turned whether he wanted it to or not, and once change struck all he could do was deal with the aftermath.
A direct continuation of xest.

Akira returns.
The life he prepared for is gone; in its place is a Japan he doesn't remember and a love he can't find. But Yuuki is out there somewhere, waiting for him, and Akira intends to keep his promises. No matter how long it takes or how many obstacles stand in his way, they will find each other again.
Akira is sure of it.

Summary
“Case closed,” Goro finds himself saying, “this is how your—”
Kurusu is still silent. Why hasn’t he said anything? Begged for Goro to stop. Does he doubt Goro has any good left in him? Part of Goro is saddened by that thought, but another part is angry. How dare he?
Goro tips the gun towards Kurusu’s forehead, moving aside some of his bangs.
He gives Kurusu a smirk and says a small, “bang,” while throwing in a snarky wink. Then he proceeds to take the silencer off the gun, setting it down on the table. “I’ve shot you. Now it is time for us to get you out of here.”

Anthology containing:
SUCCESSION
The whims of fate decided that Akechi Goro couldn't die yet. At first, he despaired. Then, he realized that might have been exactly what he wanted. A fresh start. Another chance. A new beginning. And now, he will do anything in his power to atone for his sins and save the only person who reached out to him. He will be tricked, rejected, betrayed, used again and again, there's no denying it. And yet, his newfound resolve won't falter. This is the way Akechi Goro will challenge the world.
Or how after escaping the engine room, Goro finds an application on his phone that allows him to travel back in time and erase his past mistakes. And when the world around him is revealed to be a giant Palace, Goro is determined to use this new power of his to find out what's going on for the good of mankind, especially a certain rival-turned-friend... but what was supposed to be a journey toward redemption doesn't take long to shift into a series of adventures unlike anything Goro could have ever imagined.
Entirely rewritten and polished from start to finish as of 2020; now including illustrations and commentaries!
MEADOW
Living a brand new life with the memories of his past one intact can come with its fair share of burdens. Even if Goro truly feels fulfilled and happy, the flashes of misery and despair are never too far, always ready to strike when he last expects it – and it isn't long before he finds himself succumbing to his dread.
There's one difference with back then, however. This time, he isn't alone. This time, she is there.
SUNLIGHT
Goro gets a visitor on his sickbed – the presence of whom he enjoys much more than he cares to let it slip.
PICTURE
Ren drags an oblivious Goro to Dome Town — all in order to enact a very specific plan.

Summary
In the aftermath of Okumura Kunikazu's death, the popularity of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is at an all time low. Support is getting scarce, open hostility is rampant, not to mention the infuriating pampering the detective on their case is basking in meanwhile... and yet, even as the walls all around are slowly closing in, life goes on. But when they barely escape from a particularly dangerous Shadow only to find the black-masked criminal there in Mementos, injured and unconscious, the Phantom Thieves soon realize there is another life besides their own that is about to swing around.

He always does, after all.

Summary
[spoilers for the whole game!]my line falls with an empty hook,
yet fools the world.
a split second decision with long term consequences...in the engine room, the phantom thieves leap into action in time to save akechi goro's life. now, with one of their greatest threats holed up in the attic of cafe leblanc, each of them must take the time to try and understand this boy - neither friend nor foe - who doesn't know where he stands with even himself.
(OR: akechi goro deserves a real redemption arc and a chance to connect with each of the phantom thieves individually, whether they become friends or not. so i'm taking things into my own hands. vigilante (poetic) justice style!)Shelves: Persona 5
