Summary
“Hey,” says the other again, and after a moment, he cracks a grin, white teeth peeking out, eyes crinkling up in barely concealed glee. “I knew it. I knew you were alive.”
Of course that’s the first thing Kurusu would say to him after all this fucking time.
“What,” Goro says weakly, swallowing past the weight that’s settled into his throat, “the hell.”
Kurusu beams.
--
Or, Goro Akechi's chance at redemption.

Summary
They let him out of the cell, though Goro could feel Sakamoto’s suspicious gaze on him the entire time. Meanwhile, Akira was looking at him like- God. He looked at him like an adoring fool, quite frankly. Like he’d just been handed the biggest fucking gift for christmas.
“What?” he hissed at him, hoping to deter what was doubtlessly the budding dreams and hopes of a notorious cat adopter.
To his horror and only mild surprise, Akira looked only even more endeared.
Akechi gets a second chance at life. He only wished he hadn't had to get it as a cat.

Summary
“We need to talk about this. And I don’t just mean you leaving” --Ren raises a hand, cutting off Akechi before he can finish opening his mouth-- “I mean everything.”
“It’s pointless. I’ve already told you as much.” Akechi rolls his eyes and digs a crumpled lens rag out of his pocket. “After I’m gone, none of those things will matter anymore. If you think that your usual brand of brainless sentimentality will work on me, then--”
Just then, as Akechi unfurls the glasses cleaning rag, something clatters to the ground between them. Their heads turn to follow the sound in unison, and both discover the source at the same time -- an incredibly smooth, thumb-sized rock.
They raise their eyes again, steel gray meeting dark auburn.
Akechi’s Adam’s apple bobs under the collar of his turtleneck. “...Please let me explain.”Sometimes, if a rock is smooth enough, it can drag a man out of hiding and force him into a secret shared custody agreement with the guy he's hiding from -- and what Yusuke doesn't know can't hurt him.

Summary
“You’re my favorite mask Joker,” Goro says. “No one compares to you. Not your stupid fucking thieves, or my stupid fucking father, or anyone. You’re my favorite person.”
For a moment, Ren just holds his stare. Stupidly, Goro feels embarrassed, and then embarrassed for feeling embarrassed, and angry he’s doing this at all, playing this stupid fucking game that Ren probably, probably already knows all about. But maybe this time Ren will finally fucking— “Hm,” they say, which could mean anything, but then they smile, small and sincere. “I like you a lot too, Akechi.”
Goro wants to scream.
///OR: Akechi has BPD. Akechi has an FP. Akechi wants to tell Ren his feelings. So he does. Again. And again. And - at this point, it's a matter of pride.

Summary
Seven years after the events of Royal, Akechi Goro is working at his part-time job in Osaka when he runs into one Kitagawa Yusuke. Though Yusuke promises to keep his secret for now, it's only a matter of time before Akechi will have to face his past properly.
Post-canon exploration of Akechi as a wild card. There's not particularly a Metaverse involved, but a lot of game elements are applied to the overworld. Pre-written fic

Summary
Hanahaki disease—a disease in which those suffering from severe unrequited love begin to expel flowers and flower petals, until either their love is returned, they undergo a medical procedure to cure them, or they suffocate to death.
It's a terrifying prospect, yet it also happens to be the most interesting case Goro Akechi's come across in a while.

“Ship is short for relationship. It’s essentially the fans’ theory—or fantasy—of you and Akira being… together.”
“Together?”
“Together together,” Ann clarifies.
“Together together?!”
Futaba doesn’t look up from her laptop. “They want you to bone.”
***
In which the Phantom's lead singer discovers a new side of their fanbase, and maybe their theories aren't that far off.

Summary
Suddenly the thieves’ reactions make sense. Mona’s dread, the girls’ cooing about how cute he is. Curled up in a fetal position is Joker’s lanky body, except now he has fluffy dog ears and an even fluffier tail, his fur black to match his hair.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Goro simmers. “He’s a fucking dog?!”
“A dogboy to be more accurate,” Fox corrects.
***
Or a fic in which Joker gets hit by a dogboy status effect and makes it Goro Akechi's problem

Summary
For one of the first times in his life, Akechi’s speechless. He knows what his old self would say—You couldn’t possibly understand how I feel, attic trash—but Akechi is tired. Tired of his old self swirling in his heart, full of rage. Tired of his “new” self poised in his mind, which is so stuffed with rationality and psychoanalysis that he’s nothing more than a cast off shell. He’s just fucking tired.
“Listen,” Akira continues. “Why don’t we just…start over? I know that might be difficult given what we’ve been through, but you came back here for a reason, right?”
Akechi almost barks out a laugh. Typical Kurusu, with the keen ability to read him so well. With the quiet charisma he begrudgingly admired. It tugs and pulls at his chest like a puppet on strings.
“You haven’t changed,” Akechi says.
Akira grins sheepishly, placing a hand on his neck. “Play me at chess, and you’ll figure out what has.”
OR:
Seven years later, Akira and Akechi begin again.

Summary
“Come on, Ren-kun,” Yukari nudges Ren as he slumps. “I dove into being Pink Argus with little experience myself, and I haven’t regretted it since. Maybe you’ll feel the same.”
Ren thinks about it. His life really couldn’t and shouldn’t revolve completely around the shadow world, he supposes. And he’s not obligated to do any more than this if acting doesn’t agree with him after all.
Ann’s going to freak. Futaba is going to lose her shit.
“You remember the Phantom Thieves of Hearts business a few years back?” The director asks. “It won’t be a complete one to one, but I do have to admit that this series’ plot is loosely based on it.”
Okay, now that’s just unfair. Now Ren has to take the role.
So that’s how Ren becomes a Featherman Ranger.
Or, Amamiya Ren becomes a Featherman actor, bases his character off Akechi, and the real Akechi Goro disastrously simps from afar.

Five years later, Ren is a moderately popular streamer and Akechi is a well-known author/model/talk show guest with a rabid fanbase. They haven't spoken— at least, not until Ren calls Akechi his celebrity crush on stream.
