    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.

    Summary

    Ren is the first to clear his throat. “So… Bringing you along did help?”

    “Joker,” Morgana calls hysterically, “are you saying that out of all people, the Black Mask is your soulmate?!”

    Well. Ren is pretty sure it was the Black Mask who said the words, not him, but he still kind of ends up nodding, but also shrugging because what the fuck.

    Soulmarks are found on everyone’s left arm; the first words your soulmate will say to you.

    Usually, this would make meeting your soulmate a relatively easy task.

    Ren doesn’t have that kind of luck.

    Summary

    The strange man in the scarf that Goro is constantly bumping into is an enigma. He doesn't seem smart enough to be faking his identity, he looks too human to be a monster in disguise, and although Goro can sense a terrifying underlying power whenever the man is around, no one will take Goro's concerns seriously...all because Mochizuki is "nice".

    There's something off about Ryoji Mochizuki, and Goro Akechi is determined to figure out what, even at the cost of his sanity.

    Summary

    The interviewer grins. “Oh? Do you think you could fall for anyone who catches the Phantom Thieves?”

    “It would require a certain level of intellect to find such vigilantes,” Goro Akechi says, eyes shining. “I would be quite interested in getting to know a person who is capable of such a feat.”

    “You heard it here first – whoever unmasks the Phantom Thieves will win Detective Prince Akechi’s heart!”

    With a prize like Goro Akechi’s affections on the line, Ren Amamiya has to win, no matter the cost.

    Even if his team doesn’t really agree with his goals.

    Summary

    It is really fucking inconsiderate of his soulmate, Goro seethes, not letting him know that his murder plans will fall through.

    Well, murder and suicide, he supposes, sitting on Amamiya's bed with his arms crossed as the thief falls apart next to him. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"

    "You're telling me?" Goro shoots back. "I had a very romantic double suicide planned for us – and you went ahead and ruined it!"

    Goro knew for months now that he would have to kill his soulmate. He made his peace with this decision; has made the necessary preparations.

    Ren knew for months now that his soulmate would try to kill him. He just never expected said soulmate to kill himself right after.
