Summary
As the deadline for Sae's Palace looms closer - and thus, his time with Akira Kurusu is about to end - Goro finds himself craving some other sort of closure. He assumed all the loose threads to have been knotted up by this point. But maybe his body - and only his body, of course - has something else to say on the matter.

Summary
The list of places Goro can safely go in Tokyo without running into Kurusu Akira continues to incur great losses. This time, it's his 777 of choice, which is nowhere near his new apartment complex for this express purpose, and yet. Ineffable Joker will always find a fucking way. And if he can't, he'll circle like a bird of prey until a way opens up.
Twelve years later, nothing is conventional and everything is deliberate.

Why not join me instead…?

The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking
Fandoms: Persona 5
15 Nov 2025

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!

"I Will Simply Have To Come To Leblanc Every Day In That Case" And Other Lies by lumensd
Fandoms: Persona 5
01 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
"This is the third evening in a row you've come all the way out here simply to accost my presence for an asinine hangout, when we both know you and I have more important things to do than waste time better spent on preparations tarrying like fools." He says the word tarrying like it's metal in his mouth. Akira cringes. "What's your real game here?"
"Uh," says Akira, eloquently. He clears his throat, "Well, you—um, you're a liar?"
(Akechi lies. Akira retaliates.)

Summary
The original Japanese name of the sixth area of Mementos, the Path of Adyeshach, translates to: the Sense-robbing Path.
Akira develops a thing for going there alone, whenever he feels like throwing all sense, all logic, all practicality, to the wind.
Someone’s been following him.
