Summary
When Akechi showed up at LeBlanc's 8 months post-Maruki, I stayed with Futaba: I knew Akira's grief well enough that they needed to be alone.
But Futaba's been a different person since he's come back...
Ann left for those months, but her heart stayed with Ryuji and Makoto. But we've found out if something bad happens to a teammate, we all get a little crazy. And some of them are even angrier than before... At least Haru and Yusuke seem to be staying safe..
But this won't end with one fight! No one will admit that, but they all feel it. Everyone seems to be changing, and they're fighting even worse shadows than before. And Akechi still has to fight his cognition: a snapshot of his darkness from before, that Akira's mind had made, the only one that came through from Maruki's world...
But I'm starting to think they might be going at this all wrong.
So what do you wanna do? Are you gonna read?
-Mona
(Akechi's Note: While the cat wrote this, going involves all the Thieves... And more. With an increase in darkness, there comes an increase in age: So be prepared for a mild amount of filth, a modicum of 'fluff', and more violence than even I'm expecting...)Shelves: Persona 5

Summary
One phone call leads to Akira having his most fervent wish granted.
A year before the Phantom Thieves ever existed, Akira stumbles into a Palace for the first time along with his not-really girlfriend, Kasumi. When they get split up, a handsome prince in white appears to give him a hand looking for her. Said handsome prince has a mission in the Metaverse, and he wants Akira on his side.
But a certain girl with glasses and downcast eyes keeps dogging Akira and Goro's trails through the Metaverse--and Akira is tortured by visions of his new partner's death in a past life he doesn't remember. And what is this strange distortion that the nav says belongs to "nobody"?
Something is wrong with this world, and someone is trying to keep Akira from figuring out what.

Summary
Anthology containing:
Harvest Moon
If Jess is here this weekend might be very different from what she's imagined. There’s no way her mom knew this. And, damn it, she’s going to have to drive back to Connecticut immediately, right?
"What are you doing here?" She half-whines. "And more importantly how did you get in? I’ve got the only set of keys."
"I do not need keys," he says, tone almost insulted. "Especially not to some dump that hasn’t had it locks changed since the forties."
"Great. Jess Mariano, the felon. You here to practice home invasion techniques?"
He snorts.
"Hardly. Come on, I’ll show you."Trouble
It is what is. But it is, and that’s the thing. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be real.
Everything Lost
"Fatalism is bullshit. Astrology makes more sense, and that's sayin' something. You inherit bad genes, not bad decisions."
Starting right after the four last words and stretching on over a year, this au is a continuation of Harvest Moon and Trouble so you might enjoy this more if you read those first, but if not: Spoiler: Rory and Jess are having a baby.

Bird by Bird by laceymcbain

Incident, Coincidence, Pattern by laceymcbain & reena_jenkins
"If once is an incident, twice is coincidence, and three times is a pattern, what's four?" Tim asked.
"A mistake," Jason said between clenched teeth. "A big mistake."
Five Times Jason Todd Saved His Brothers, and One Time They Saved Him by laceymcbain & reena_jenkins
“Did you know I was in here, or did you just blow up the place for fun?”
Damian didn't need to see Todd's face to know he was grinning under the helmet.
“It's not really a rescue unless something blows up. But if Bats asks, it was completely necessary."

In Symbiosis We Trust by HamletsBoneArenaBeehivetoBeeorNottoBee7
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Thor (Movies)
26 Jun 2015
Summary
When the broken, half-crazed second prince of Asgard fell from the BiFrost, he fully expected to die.
He didn't.
Instead, he lands in what can only be described as a world so hellish it defies description. At first, he thinks perhaps he might have hope of rescue. That his family, despite it all, might come, and things may be fixed.
But time passes, and no one comes, with no weapons or tools at hand to keep away the dark and what lurks within it. The things lurking at the edges of the universe have gone too long without a tool to ignore a fallen god, but the Trickster does not go down easily. Struggling to hang on until there is barely any sanity remaining, an unexpected source of help comes, in the form of another lost, abandoned soul.
Taking up arms together, the two are reborn anew, and together, the new hybrid steps out into the universe, thirsting for vengeance against a mountain of injustices and a universe seeming to conspire to tear them apart. If the Mad Titan desires the Tesseract so deeply that war must be waged for it, then the Trickster and his other half will be all too glad to give a show...

Summary
If you’re sending yourself out to the edge of civilization, people expect it to be done for fame and glory – but then, Julian Bashir has never been what’s expected of him. He’s quite happy to agree with the reasons other people provide, because he isn’t sharing the private whys and wherefores when people are more than happy to fill in the gaps themselves. There are other, better things to worry about, work to be done and friends to be made – possibly even a lover, if he’s lucky…
...all while fighting to maintain his worth, and remain exactly who he’s always been.
