Summary
Why have one champion when you can have them both? A bet between gods that decides humanity's fate. Yadly knows that the outcome is certain, now with both tricksters under his grasp. Yet Humanities’s sponsor is confident. The ‘god’ of the velvet room does not sway. It’s incomprehensible.
Everything is going according to plan.
Isn’t it?
Akechi is certain that these upstart Phantom thieves rumors are of far greater consequence. He realizes this when the castle that once loomed over Shujin Academy was gone post-Kamoshida’s confession. Gone yet replaced, by something larger. Darker. He is certain it holds the final piece he needs for his plans. All he has to do is recruit one lonely boy over to his side.
One misunderstanding later and Ren finds himself isolated at school. Burdened by the rumors of his own past-and-present actions. He takes the hand of someone unexpected.
-
Akechi and Ren team up against the PT’s and Shido.

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
The story was supposed to go like this:
That was the plan."Once upon a time, a lonely little boy, angry and vengeful and hungry for power, wandered into the manifestation of the collective unconsciousness.
In the deserted tunnels, he faced humanity's worst and resolved to burn its rotten core away until only chaos remained."
Until an accident in the form of a black mask happened.—
Or, what if Akechi Goro had a little more guidance when he first awakened his power, even if it came from the most unexpected source?
Namely, a black-masked criminal who knew a lot more than they let on, and a one-sided cat-and-mouse game that lasted two years and counting.Shelves: Persona 5

Summary
This was supposed to be purely professional. After the apocalypse hit, the world has been ravaged by a nightmare, turning most of humanity into hostile monsters ravenous for human flesh.Of course it’d be like this. Akechi’s used these past two weeks to care for Akira, but he didn’t bother to notice how he’s slowly crumbling too. Like a proud tall statue made of marble, wearing beneath time.
As Akira and Akechi travel across the country together, both determined to bring back the world as they knew it, their lives begin to intertwine and they start to realize just how alike a boy from riches and a boy from rags can really be.
…This was supposed to be purely professional. But Akira is special in more ways than one. Akechi never stood a chance.

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
From a young age, Akechi Goro was forced to accept that life is not fair. When the world is full of injustice and seems determined to throw that in your face at every chance it gets, what are you supposed to do? Sometimes you just need to tear the whole damn system down.
Meanwhile, Kurusu Akira just wants his friend back. He never meant to become a delinquent, much less the leader of the Phantom Thieves, but he supposes he’s never been very good at staying out of other people’s business.
(A soulmate au where writing gets transferred to each other’s skin. As a result, they become long-distance friends… until Akechi lets his jealousy and anger get the better of him, that is.)

Summary
Kurusu leans forward and says, “Look. You do deserve to feel this bad. I’m sorry, but you do. But you don’t deserve to be alone while you deal with it. So I’ll leave now if you want me to, but I’m coming back tomorrow. All right?” Goro wipes his face with his sleeve and glowers at him: Great Akira the Moralizer, who knows exactly what everyone else deserves. Perfect, beloved Akira.
After Akira's interrogation, the Phantom Thieves try to change Akechi’s heart - but it takes more than that to get the bastard prince of Tokyo on your side.

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.”

"Akechi," he whispered, "your name is Akechi. You are seventeen, you've visited the cognitive world countless times. You aren't him anymore. You have a goal, and a persona, and you are not helpless.”
