Heavily inspired by a popular shuake doujin, except Akechi is more insane, as he deserves to be.

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
♠ - It's always hard to tell if Akechi is doing his normal prickly thing or if he's mad about something specific. It's a good thing Akira finds it interesting (and kind of funny).
♤ - Akira took the time to see every single one of them. And in their homes no less. What the hell are they doing in there? Goro kept tabs on these people for months and they've never brought him home with them. All of them, in one week? One has to wonder if there isn't something salacious about all of this.
==
Akechi continues to
stalkmonitor Akira in the new year, and what he witnesses leaves him unsettled, and weirdly upset. The misunderstanding comes to a head when Akira invites him to Jazz Jin. -

Summary
Against his better judgment, Akira seeks out Akechi in the days following 11/20, and asks him to join their cause against Shido. After a physical squabble, Akechi agrees but has his own terms.
kind of ended up being a self-indulgent "December but it's Just Akechi" fic, which wasn't the plan but we're here anyway
Inspired by "Don't Think Twice" by Hikaru Utada, for datahearts in the Mixtape Exchange! i hope you like it!

Summary
"'Uh…' Akira starts. 'These vines won’t let me help you.'
'That’s fine,' Akechi says, seemingly unperturbed. 'I can get out of this myself, I assure you.'
So Akira watches. He watches for several moments as Akechi tries to find a way out of the vines. He tugs, wriggles and pulls—no dice. The vines are still perfectly wrapped around him like a snake coiling its prey. It almost seems that the more he struggles, the worse they tighten.
Akira doesn’t know how to broach the topic, so he tries eloquently, 'Do you think you’re, uh, stuck stuck?'
'Use that glorious intellect of yours, Joker,' Akechi hisses. 'What do you think it looks like?'
After mishandling the research flora in Maruki's Palace, Akechi finds himself trapped in an array of vines. The only way to get out is with Akira's aide, but being trapped drudges up feelings Akechi never wanted to bring to the surface...

Summary
"What about our rematch?"
Goro blinks and turns his head. "What about it?"
"If you're… then… It shouldn't wait."
"What?" he says, turning around, "So you want to do it right now?" It's sarcastic, but Akira doesn't miss a beat.
"Yes."
"You cannot be serious. We have a battle with a Palace ruler. Tomorrow." Goro lifts his hands in question. "We should prioriti—"
"Oh, I'm serious." He's cut off again, and Akira walks right past him and out the door. A little jingle confirms his exit.
or, the prompt I based this off of:
On 2/2 after the calling card Akira’s just like “fuck it Akechi, I’m sosadmad at you for not telling me you were dead, let’s go into the Metaverse right now and finish our duel” and Akechi is like “what ok lmao” so they go into the Metaverse and they start with fighting each other with their personas. But as time goes on they start to get really weak and then it just gets personal. Akira just starts beating the shit out of Akechi and then they both break down. And then maybe they FUCK in the Metaverse and have some really emotional sex. -

Summary
Akira & Goro grew up in the same town in the mountains outside Tokyo, before Goro's mom passed on. This led to the standard Akechi route of foster system hell and etc., though she eventually ended up in Tokyo and attended Shujin. Akira still gets falsely accused and booted to Shujin later on, but because of Goro's unstable home life they haven't really been in contact. reunion?!?! what could happen?!?!?!?
All the shiho stuff still happens so she isn't there, but Ann isn't as directly involved...... but she's still lonely and isolated obv so she and akira connect anyway. that's my excuse for why the metaverse isn't part of this story.
but tbh that's not why we're here anyway. idk about you but i'm here for girls
