Summary
The bell rung above him, the last time for a long time—
"Huh... Kid, wait!" Sojiro held up a plain envelope from his stack. "This one's addressed to you." He flipped it around, squinting. "No return address, though."
He took the offered envelope, looking it over.
The handwriting…
Akira viciously smothered the hope, because it was impossible. No matter how similar it looked to case notes and essays seen in brief, upside-down flashes across the counter before his attention was drawn away by gloved hands wrapping around a coffee mug and the glint of wine eyes.
His heart beat a staccato rhythm against his chest despite himself, uncaring of how devastating this would be if he was wrong.
He slid his finger beneath the envelope's lip, gently tearing it open. Inside was a small piece of paper. It held one sentence, scrawled in blue ink.
'Hold onto my glove.'Series

Summary
Futaba has never liked Akechi Goro.
He was strangely docile, even if he's exhausted, and there was a foreign glint in his eyes that bothers her. Not a surrender, but words held back and a bitten tongue.

Summary
“I don’t like my hair being touched.”
That’s certainly news to Akira. There’s something heavy in the way Goro says it, the words weighted with some meaning that Akira can’t even begin to understand.
“It never seems to bother you when I touch it.”
“...I don’t mind when it’s you,” Goro admits, voice quiet.
or;
Akira's been best friends with Goro since he was ten, and they've had their fair share of stupid bets and high-stakes challenges. Even so, when the next contingency prize is having Goro grow his hair out, Akira gets more than he bargained for.

Summary
When an unexpected outside threat suddenly appears and destabilizes Goro's plans, he's convinced the best course of action is keeping quiet. He's managed everything so far, why should this be any different? Unfortunately, he's fallen in with some of the nosiest teens in Tokyo, and when Akira discovers something is wrong, Goro's problems only double. Juggling school, work, revenge, betrayal, and a stalker is hard enough without trying to keep from falling in love with a boy who's destined to die in less than a month.
But someone is out for blood, and they won't be ignored.

Summary
The Trickster and the Prince. Justice and Joker. The story is set -
has been told -
will not change.Every piece is arranged -
has an end point -
contributes to the whole.Puppets on strings. Even the avatars themselves.
But when you close your eyes, when you fall asleep, are you still the same person as you were before? When you consciousness blinks, do You continue?
Akechi Goro knows what his goal is. He knows who he wants dead, knows how he's going to do it, knows that every stepping stone destroyed taking him there is worth the end result. Nothing can make him falter in his quest. Nothing has, and nothing ever will.
And yet, rest is a necessity.
The gray-eyed boy he sees behind his eyelids cannot take his hand -
reach him across the rapids -
pull him out of hell.The silver-eyed boy he sees across the counter cannot convince him -
give him an exit -
love him enough to change their fates.But seeing him matters. Regardless of their outcomes.

The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking
Fandoms: Persona 5
15 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

Summary
He never fell asleep around other people. Especially not in a cafe attic that didn't even have a door, let alone a lock, with
the boy he was to killhis rival singing just feet away. People weren't safe. Kurusu wasn't, couldn't be, an exception.Goro's book fell from his hands into his lap. He barely noticed, lashes fluttering shut with the determination to stay that way. He tilted sideways, head far too heavy to hold up a second longer. His descent slowed by pillows until he was flat against the bed, the world fell away.

Summary
“Here,” Kurusu says. “I can probably carry you.“
Goro doesn’t even get a chance to complain before Kurusu is sliding an arm around his back and beneath his knees. He’s immediately greeted by a wave of pain that outclasses all the others before, a kind of pain that makes him feel as if his entire body is breaking in two. Makes him think: fuck, maybe it actually is.
He grits his teeth. “Joker, stop.”
Kurusu instantly freezes, meeting his eyes with clear alarm.
“What’s wrong?”
“I think my hip might be broken.”
or;
After their duel, a chance encounter with the Reaper has disastrous consequences for Goro and Akira. Trapped together and left to their own devices, it's going to take more than luck to get them both out alive.

“So, still not sure where we’re headed?” Akira asks.
Goro flashes him a sharp smile. “Nervous, Kurusu?”
“What? Because we’re out on the open road without a plan?” Akira grins and rests a hand on Goro’s thigh just because he wants to. “I have the utmost confidence that your gut will find us a very nice place to stay the night.”
Or; Akira and Goro go on a road trip.

Summary
“I don’t like you that way, Ren,” he says. “We’re never going to be together in the way that you want—romantically, I mean. Please know that this isn’t personal. I understand if you need some space afterwards. And I hope you understand my point of view as well.”
I hope you understand wasn’t in the bullet points, it just slipped out of Akechi’s mouth as he watched the look of confusion spread itself across Ren’s face. Ren’s staring at him. He doesn’t even look dismayed, just astounded. Akechi’s fault. He left matters open to misinterpretation for too long. But there’s nothing to be done.
“But,” says Ren.
Akechi braces himself. Here comes the unpleasant scene.
Ren says, “But I’m straight.”

Summary
Sumire feels the weight of a year forgotten crash onto her shoulders.
Wasn’t their deadline February third?
And -oh no- It’s April, how had she not noticed entire months passing in Maruki’s false reality? She checks her phone, and does a double take.
April 4, 2016
2016? But- wasn’t it?
No. Oh no.
“Shoot.” She hisses under her breath.
Well, Sumire thinks somewhat hysterically, it's at least an improvement over being trapped in Maruki’s reality.
---
After Ren makes the wrong decision at the end of the world, Sumire Yoshizawa is thrown a year into the past, with the vague goal of making things right.This would, of course, be a significantly easier task if she had any idea what she’s supposed to do.
