The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking

Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

Summary
On the morning of February 4th, most of a decade ago, Akechi wakes with a start, stares blindly up at the tiles of the ceiling without registering what he’s looking at, and says out loud, “Well, that’s embarrassing.”

Summary
Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!
Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.

Summary
"Don't," says Akechi. His voice shakes. He wraps his arms around his middle like he's bleeding out from his core. "Go away. Don't bother with me, there's no point, I'm dead, I... fuck." He laughs, but even Ren, the curator of all things Goro Akechi, has never heard him make such a sound; despair has always taken him differently, wild and keening, barely leashed.
For a moment, Ren is back in the engine room, with Akechi crumpled on the cold floor before him, defeated and alone. Instinct screams a warning in the back of his head.
Under the effects of despair, Akechi lets slip a secret he would have preferred to take back to the grave. It's a kick in the teeth—no, it's worse, it's so much worse—but Ren can deal with it. He can deal with anything. He has to.
He wishes his friends would stop asking if he's okay.

Summary
The booth in the corner, shrouded deep in shadow, is living up to its name again.
Here at the Jazz Jin one can find a delightful atmosphere, delightful drinks, delightful music—a delight all-around, barring one exception for anyone unfortunate enough to notice it: the kissing booth.
“Teenagers,” Goro says derisively.
“And how old are you?”
Fuck off, Goro grumbles to himself. To Ren, he says: “Old enough at least to be above that sort of disgraceful display, thank you very much.”
“Mm,” Ren hums, absently swirling his straw around his finger. “So have you ever kissed anyone?”
Goro chokes on his drink.

Summary
His dreams had fallen through his hands like stardust. Without anything more compelling to do with his life, he'd thrown in his lot with the little ragtag group of eco-terrorists attempting to overthrow a global megacorporation - and not just because of the strange, quiet man who lingered near the edges of everything. Now that the stakes had changed, he found himself attempting to save the world with them, instead.
No one could say his life had been boring, at least. What else could Cid Highwind accomplish, if he set his mind to it?

Summary
Placed in a new foster home two months before he turns eighteen, Goro Akechi tries to prepare for the inevitable moment when he will be left to the mercy of the society that has punished him ever since he was born to the wrong person under the wrong circumstances. But when he is granted access to another world on the first day of his new school - a world of monsters and demons, of cognition and real-life consequences - he knows that he has finally been given a chance to change his situation, and maybe track down the nameless absent father who left him and his mother to die.
And finally punish him and everyone else who made his life a living hell.
(A Role Swap AU, where Akechi is both leader of the Phantom Thieves and murderous vigilante.)

“I’m fine," Ren replies instantly, clipped and already distracted by their next target. “Kind of horny, I guess. All your growling and screaming is pretty distracting.”
All of his teammates, Akechi included, freeze. Ren takes a minute to catch up. Wait — what did he just say?
After being hit by a strange attack, Ren can’t keep the truth to himself.

Summary
Akechi knows that he’s not supposed to be able to hear Morgana. Maintaining the illusion of ignorance is vital if he wants to gain Akira’s trust and guarantee his death. It’s just a shame that Morgana insists on testing his patience during every interaction. The amount of insults he’s had to endure with a straight face is ridiculous. Still, he tells himself that he just has to curb his indignation until November. Then his plan will culminate in the assassination of the Phantom Thieves’ leader. With Akira gone, Shido will win the election - and Akechi’s moment for revenge will arrive.
He’s so close to victory that he can taste it in the back of his throat. If the biggest obstacle to his success is a talking cat, then he’s gotten pretty lucky.
Unfortunately, he underestimates just how much of a roadblock Akira himself will turn out to be.
