Summary
Around two years had passed since the collapse of the Metaverse and Masayoshi Shido’s earning of a far kinder sentence than he deserved, in Goro Akechi’s opinion anyway. Goro had long since abandoned his life of dealing death, trying to awkwardly settle into a new, normal one with the wild card dealt to him by the gods named Akira Kurusu.
All seemed well. Neat, bland, and practically average except for Akira himself, whom Goro had no clue what to do with.
Then one night Akira was abducted, and Goro quickly realized he’d give up a normal life and play one more twisted game just to get his Joker back.

Summary
After the Metaverse collapsed, everyone moved on. Not Akira, though. What was Akira without Joker, without his arsenal of masks, without the purpose that had made his unsatisfying life whole? His parents despise him, his hometown believe he's a murderer, and Shido's conspiracy follows him everywhere he goes. There had always been more to Akira than Joker, though. Maybe, if he sees himself through his friends' eyes and lets someone special in, he can escape this dark, dangerous spiral.
Someone like Goro Akechi.
A companion piece to my Akeshu fic Chase the Joker, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
You can play by the rules and lose, or you can break the rules entirely. After losing everything they thought made them special, their second chance at normalcy, and everything else that held them together, Goro Akechi and Akira Kurusu refused to surrender one another. They have each other, and that's all they need.
A series of nonchronological short stories taking place after Chase the Joker's main events, to be updated sporadically.
