Summary
The light hums and flickers above the table where Joker sits patiently. He looks bored, one leg crossed over the other. “You were saying?”
“You seem awfully composed for having just taken a bullet to the head,” Akechi notes with a frown.
The prisoner shrugs. “It wasn’t anything I haven’t seen before.”
The comment shouldn’t bother him, but Akechi finds himself partly insulted nonetheless. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was meant to entertain my mark before killing them.”
“I’d rather you not kill me at all, actually,” Joker says with a bitter look. Akechi scoffs.
“Oh, don’t be such a baby, it’s not like it matters anyways,” he says dryly.

Summary
Anagnorisis: A moment in a play or other work when a character makes a critical discovery. Anagnorisis originally meant recognition in its Greek context, not only of a person but also of what that person stood for. Anagnorisis was the hero's sudden awareness of a real situation, the realisation of things as they stood, and finally, the hero's insight into a relationship with an often antagonistic character.
Or, Akechi reevaluates his perception of Joker.

Summary
The way his shoulders shake, the corners of his eyes creased from his smile- that combined with his glamour, he looks so human in that moment that it makes Akechi want to be sick.
"You can't hear it...They're calling out for this. For us. A myriad of voices crying out as one. Begging for retribution at our hands."
Akechi narrows his eyes and scoffs. A seething disgust trembling in his fists. Self-righteous bastards, all of them- Unsure if he means the fae or the people of Japan.
"That sounds like a load of bullshit to me. And what, do you think they're right? That we should just sit here and let the world crumble so you bastards can inherit it?"
The corners of that blissful and untouchable smirk finally turn down, and Akechi suddenly feels he understands what people mean when they call eyes windows. Only Joker's feel clouded over, a thick fog against the glass. The kind a child would press their finger to and draw a smile.
"No, I don't."
------
A phenomenon known as leyline blossoms are spreading across Japan like wildfire and it's on Akechi's shoulders to find the cause. Only one thing, or rather one person, keeps standing in his way.

Summary
Goro has been longing for Akira's warmth since he shot him in the head. All he knows is the hunger tearing him apart from the inside out. A gnawing starvation that he'll fill with anything he can rip between his teeth. He no longer knows nor cares for the difference between love, lust, and hunger— between carnal and carnivorous. He cant tell if he wants to hold Akira or eat him alive, he just needs him close. Closer than two bodies can reasonably be.
Goro needs Akira's heart in his stomach.

Please please PLEASE mind the tags here! This fic is not for the faint of heart and dives deep into serious psychological horror elements.
