    Summary

    “You want me to arrange my own death.” It’s pathetic, that this is how his life works. So pathetic that the only thing left to do is laugh about it, about the way that he must die and never be happy, no matter what.

    Igor laces his fingers together and leans forward. He’s every talk show host Akechi has ever spoken to, every interviewer who has smiled and told him how impressive they find him. “I want you to make the right choice.”

    --

    Or: Ren makes the wrong choice. Akechi tries to set it right.

    Summary

    (Spoilers through December.) It turns out that removing a ship's rudder isn't nearly enough to sink it. Having survived the battle in Shido's Palace, Akechi agrees to help the Phantom Thieves of Hearts find another way to take out the Tokyo conspiracy as his way to atone. To that end, he partners with Haru to play the detective prince besought by the poor, bereaved heiress to find her father's killer. However, while she forwarded this plan, she still hasn't forgiven him. After all, he is her father's killer. Each of them realizing the other has feelings for Ren, who's agreed to mediate between the two and who welcomes both of their affections, is sure to ease that friction not at all. Is there a future the three of them can reach together, or will facing his sins only lead Akechi deeper down the path of destruction?

    Summary

    Amamiya Ren has run the gauntlet and survived. Cognitive divinities, overenthusiastic therapists, rogue AI - you name it, he's dealt with it. His reward? A comfortable college life with a new family, a loving girlfriend, and a group of friends who would do anything for him. But for some reason, fate seems to like screwing with him in particular.

    Now Ren finds himself in a new and dangerous world full of demi-humans, actual humans (which look nothing like he remembers), rampant bigotry, and magic of the distinctly non-persona variety. With no idea how he got here, and only the concept of a plan to get back, the former leader of the Phantom Thieves hitches his wagon to a unique Elda with an even more unique book.

    A retelling of Metaphor: ReFantazio wherein Amamiya Ren joins the Protagonist's quest to save the prince of Euchronia, and his unique skillset and knowledge will hopefully tip the scales in their favor.

    Summary

    The world is cruel. Far crueler when you’re a girl like Kurusu Akira. After one cruelty too many, her life is overturned; but perhaps a new start is just what she needs.

    Still, the scars of her past are deep, and many. The journey of rebirth starts with a single act of rebellion. It will take many more, as she follows the path of the Trickster hidden in her heart.

     

    Come... Be reborn.
