    Summary

    Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.

    Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.

    And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?

    It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...

    (OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

    Summary

    He remembers dying - he remembers thinking how lucky am I, as he went, to have such a good death. I love you, thank you. Thank you, I love you. How lucky, how lucky, how…

    Summary

    It’s a Sunday afternoon and Akechi Goro is in his shitty apartment, sprawled on his couch, when he makes a horrible discovery.

    A re-run of Featherman is playing on his thrifted TV. Mid ad-break, he turns on his phone and sees a very familiar app, sitting there on the home page innocently as though last time it had appeared out of nowhere it hadn’t ruined Goro’s life. He had been sipping on disgusting instant coffee, which he spills all over his pants from the shock.

    Not because he’s clumsy, obviously.

    His right eye twitches. He opens the app, and reads the words: Amamiya Ren, Tokyo, Shrine.

    Summary

    Those who were dead are now alive. Those who were grieving are now smiling.
    Akechi was missing, presumed dead, is now back. Akechi, his old rival, is now... different.
    But, is he? It's not like Ren ever got to know the 'real' him.
    ✲✲✲
    Two Akechis. One Ren. Several thieves. A Maruki. Zero understanding of the truth.
    An AU set in the Third Semester of P5R. (This work is a collection of comics, art and writing.)
