Summary
On the third day, after Noct’s funeral, after the sun had set, Ignis sat down on the floor and went to sleep. He did not wake up again.
Ignis woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at the green fabric of the tent ceiling. This was, he thought, a remarkably realistic dream. He hadn’t had lucid dreams since he was a very small child. It took him a few minutes to decide that it wasn’t a dream after all, at which he crawled outside without waking anyone, walked a little way from the haven, and cried his guts out.

Absolutely crushed. Sobbing on the floor rn. This is what you call a killer ending.

Sure, it's the end of the world, but that just means someone's got to fix it.
And then the world found its somebodies.
(aka, with Noctis gone into the Crystal and no one sure when he'll be back, Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto end up saving the world one piece at a time)

Akechi: are you actually fine?
What was she even supposed to say to that? Being honest was out of the question, especially with him. She didn’t like him. She’d forgiven him, and she was friends with his friends and he was dating the one boy she’d ever let herself trust. He’d taken everything from her and she was better than him, or had to be, because that was all she had left.
Haru: Why do you ask?

Summary
Having lived in an institution all his years, Goro Akechi gains a second chance at life when he receives the opportunity to go to Shujin Academy as a scholarship student in his last year of high school. All he intends is to keep his head down, impress his teachers, and make his way unharmed through a society that has never wanted him. Unfortunately, obstacles block his every way - not that he's alone, with an army of friends and a magical talking cat watching his back, plus a mysterious hook-nosed man in his dreams who thinks he's a trickster in need of some serious rehabilitation.
Oh, and he may or may not be the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and transforming Japan one changed heart at a time.
(A P5 Role Reversal AU in which Goro Akechi is the Trickster, Akira Kurusu is the popular young detective known as the Third Eye, the Phantom Thieves are the Phantom Thieves, and a few other things have changed as well.)

Summary
“Mementos is gone, yes, and both the God of Control and his successor have withdrawn, but there is…a remnant, sticking to the other side like a thorn into flesh. With the power of a Trickster, it can be safely removed.”
(Akechi’s got a Palace, sort of, and Akira’s the only one who can enter it. Now he just has to figure out what he’s supposed to do in a Palace with no Treasure and no Shadow--and if his tag-along even wants him to see what’s in there.)

Summary
“You know, contrary to what others may think,” Morgana chirped, “I’m not at all opposed to your relationship.”
“I didn’t realise I had to seek your approval,” Goro said dryly, and tossed the more expensive option into his basket. He didn’t need to ask who hated his presence around Ren either, but he’s at a point where he wasn’t particularly interested in the validation of others.
“That’s not what I’m saying,” Morgana said, tail flicking against Goro’s ear impatiently, “It just means that I actually want this to go well.”

He was completely unfazed by Ryuji’s doubt. “I can be very charming,” Akira assured him magnanimously. “I’ll have you know I’m a man of many talents. I’m sure any number of my skills will help me win him over.”
Ryuji raised a sardonic eyebrow at him. “‘Talents?’ What, you mean like breaking and entering, assault, and hostage negotiation?”
A blank, glasses-blocked stare. “You don’t think those will help?”

Summary
When an unexpected outside threat suddenly appears and destabilizes Goro's plans, he's convinced the best course of action is keeping quiet. He's managed everything so far, why should this be any different? Unfortunately, he's fallen in with some of the nosiest teens in Tokyo, and when Akira discovers something is wrong, Goro's problems only double. Juggling school, work, revenge, betrayal, and a stalker is hard enough without trying to keep from falling in love with a boy who's destined to die in less than a month.
But someone is out for blood, and they won't be ignored.

“Why isn’t Theseus ‘short one’? We’re the same height!”
Was he? Truth be told, Asterius never noticed. Most people were shorter than him by default, so it didn’t matter by how much. And Theseus had this exuberant presence around him that was quite distracting. Was he really the same height as Zagreus?
But Zagreus was so… short.

“They want humiliation,” he had explained to Nie Mingjue in that air conditioned room, speaking almost too softly to be heard over the roar of the fans. “They want your brother to make a fool of himself in the arena. But they will be satisfied with your lover making a mockery of you on every screen from here to Qishan.”

Instinctively his first reaction is to retrieve Baxia from his room. That is, until Jin Guangyao says, “The first step to living without a core, sect leader Nie, is to remember that you cannot use a spiritual weapon.”
It successfully stops him in his tracks, hands clenched at his sides in frustration. He turns to look, and the pitiful expression is back on the other’s face.

Summary
To treat the flower-spitting sickness, there is a little-known third option. A skilled surgeon can carefully carve out the infection, transplant it to a new host, and—if it survives the process—not only the flowers, but all the love that bore them, will take root.
For Wen Ruohan, this is a form of torture. His enemies have died in agony, all the while desperately in love with him.
For Meng Yao, suspected of treason, it is his only chance to stay by Wen Ruohan's side.

Summary
There was an old and deeply entrenched sadness to the vampire's smile. "I am no lord, but I have been told that you are promised to me, yes," he said, and then he paused, his smile slipping faintly with surprise. "You are... a halfblood?"
"I am." Meng Yao ducked his head in a show of contrition. "I apologize if you were not informed. If it is unacceptable for me to offer myself in light of that..."
The man shook his head, his cool fingers closing around Meng Yao's. "It is fine," he said, "only a first." This was quite surprising to Meng Yao, enough even to leave him briefly speechless. Halfbloods were not 'fine,' certainly not called as much from the mouth of a pureblooded ancient. Meng Yao had come here well-prepared to beg and cajole and weasel his way in on his knees, if need be, and yet he hadn't needed a word of it. "You must be tired. Please, allow me to escort you inside."
"Thank you. H—" Meng Yao was cut short when his conversation partner disappeared back into this mist, and Meng Yao along with him.
