Summary
“Laplace’s demon, huh,” I echo. It sounds far-fetched, and I’m certain that we’re both very aware of this.
“Makes me wonder if we’re all just puppets on a string, controlled by some demon in the sky,” he says, his voice dropping a few octaves. For once, he sounds serious.
Until his tone shifts again.
“But, y’know, I was also thinking… wouldn’t it be cool if I could harness that power? If I could be the puppet master, and everyone else my puppets?”

Summary

Do a person's actions determine who they are, or is it their intent? What can be forgiven and what can't? Does it even make a difference?In this world, Kokichi Ouma is a detective for all the wrong reasons and Shuichi Saihara is a criminal for all the right ones.
Two sides of the same coin will finally meet.
(And, regardless of right or wrong, black or white, or good or evil, there's a story that needs to be told.)

Summary
“All signs point to it,” Maki said. “Kokichi Ouma is dead.”
Shuichi shook his head wordlessly, pulling out a crumpled scrap of paper—the last piece of hope he had left.
Scribbled sloppily onto the paper were three words. Three words that kept Shuichi up at night, wondering about the wretched man’s fate. Three words that all but burned themselves into the inside of Shuichi’s eyelids—they just wouldn’t go away.
Three words that Shuichi knew would haunt him forever if they just-so-happened to be another lie. A post-mortem lie, perhaps.
“No, I’m not.”
“Kokichi…” Shuichi pulled the brim of his hat down to cover his bloodshot eyes, still shimmering with unshed tears. “You liar.”

Summary
It was 1969. It had been approximately 24 years since the end of World War II, and America was beyond exhausted. The meetings and treaties and negotiations were tiring beyond belief, and he really wanted a break.
But, of course, he was never given that break. As the literal personification of the United States of America, Alfred F. Jones was constantly working. Working and worrying— though he tried to give off an image that was far more carefree than he actually was.
And, now, there was new insight.
Many government officials (Alfred included) were informed that William Friedman, one of the higher-ups at the National Security Administration, had been in contact and eventually formed a friendship with Boris Hagelin, a Swedish-Russian businessman and cryptologic engineer. Hagelin also just-so-happened to be the founder of Crypto AG, a company located in Switzerland providing cryptographic machines.
America watches as Operation Rubicon commences, setting the stage for the Intelligence Coup of the Century. -

Summary
“No.”
“What?! I didn’t even ask, yet!”
“But you were going to.”
Alfred pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. “C’mon, live a little, Artie!”
“No! I told you, I’m busy,” Arthur said indignantly. “I have three essays and a major presentation due by the end of the week, Alfred. There’s no time to waste.”
It’s not like Alfred didn’t understand that his roommate had things to do. They were in university, for God’s sake. But what Alfred knew and what Arthur couldn’t seem to understand was the fact that sometimes, you just need to take a break.
And what better way to take a break than to engage in an activity that was guaranteed to be both exciting and exhausting for the two?
The activity in question was laser tag, of course.
What else would it be?
Surrounded by flashing lights and shining colors, Alfred realizes that his impulsive decision-making would actually be of benefit.Inspired by a fic prompt on Tumblr.
