    Instead of being taken in by the Shie Hassaikai at a young age, Kai Chisaki remained at the orphanage, landed in juvenile prison due to a "quirk accident", and when he finally entered work life, he'd been deprived of higher education, qualifications and connections. So, with a huge stain on his record, and little other choice but to start at the bottom, he chose to clean for other people.

    "It's what you're good at," he'd been told.

    He's so good, in fact, that criminals began to hire him to remove evidence.
    He's so good, in fact, that he can find and use the very same evidence to piece crimes back together.

    A talent no one had recognized but a mysterious benefactor Kai came to call "Pops".

    feat. the Meta Liberation Army as the recurring antagonists, Lady Nagant as a partner in crime, Eri, selected Shie Hassaikai members and Gentle & La Brava in additional roles.

    Summary

    “You wanted to see me?” Jayce’s voice was even, relaxed.

    “I did,” Viktor said evenly, though the tension in his voice betrayed him. He gestured to the report on the table, his fingers trembling slightly. “You’ve read this, I assume.”

    Jayce’s gaze followed the motion, landing on the report. His shoulders sagged as he let out a quiet sigh. “Yes, I’ve read it. Why?”

    Viktor turned to face him fully, his grip on the cane tightening. “Why?” he repeated, his voice sharpening. “Because I need to know how much you knew about this operation.”

    (Or, Viktor finds out about the enforcers gassing a building to find Jinx)

    Summary

    Akechi raises an eyebrow, looking unimpressed. “I assume this is what you’re actually like, then?”

    “I’m pretty sure I could jump off a building and your dumbass would follow thinking I’m doing something profound.” Joker said, glancing at Crow, who looked nonplussed.

    “This conversation is getting us nowhere—“

    “But it could be getting us off a building.”

    An exhausted (and increasingly cynical) Akira tries to explain that he keeps repeating the same year for reasons he still doesn't know to the not-detective who tries to kill him every once in a while. Like friends do. Because they're friends.

    Summary

    Simon "Ghost" Riley is attempting to function in the civvie world in between deployments. He thinks he finds a comfortable pace, until a certain someone disrupts the balance - causing his personal and work life to intertwine, much to Simon's chagrin. Forced to face compartmentalized feelings and fears long since set aside, how will he fair when reality corners him and stares him directly in the face.

    Takes place a few months after MW2 ( 2022 ) and around the future MW3. This is entirely its own thing and not related to my "The Barracks" series at all. Based on a random plot device I had that I became obsessed with.
