Summary
After losing the Metaverse and all that came attached, two young men learn to cope with a muted sense of purpose and their mundane reality. Akira Kurusu and Goro Akechi struggle with their new lives post-game, reuniting several months later and moving along from there, hand in hand through ups and downs.
There are highs and lows, but sometimes things are alright as long as you have each other...and this is all tested when they are ripped apart by remnants of Shido's influence. Goro plays one last twisted game, even if he has to lose. Akira topples off the ledge as he faces himself and all that comes with it.

Summary
akechi goro dies twice. once in the engine room, and again when takuto maruki learns his fucking lesson.
except he doesn't. he writes his own story and un-dooms himself from the narrative. and that's everyone else's problem.

au continuity where goro lives! started out as just shuake but sumi wrote herself into it and this is now a royal trio series! it will eventually extend to strikers and potentially past that. and it takes place in the same continuity as my other fic series for persona 3, sun's up!! go give that a read too if you like :]this is still an ongoing series and will resume sometime in 2025!! i'm just taking a break to write fire emblem lmao

Summary
Goro Akechi's job as a CEO is stressful, leaving him bitter, angry, and hostile to most of his employees -- including his new assistant, Akira Kurusu. Kurusu-kun is too bright, too witty, and too smart for his own good. He'll do anything in his power to crush his spirit.
Akira thinks Akechi-san is a violent, relentless, stick in the mud who needs to learn that even if he's the boss, he's not the end all be all. After making one mistake that changes the trajectory of his relationship with Akechi-san, Akira decides he's going to drag his boss to his level, kicking and screaming.
What unfolds is an unlikely relationship that blossoms in unlikelier circumstances to reveal something more substantial and heartfelt than either of them initially imagined.

Summary
“What happened, Bant? I got the call…”
And hadn’t that been terrifying, his comm blaring in the dead of night with a message from Mace karking Windu himself that there was an emergency, Obi-Wan was in the Healer’s ward, and they needed him on Coruscant as fast as hyperspace allowed.
Padmé urged him into a ship as soon as he told her through panicked, hitched breathing, assuring him they’d be fine without him for a few days. The message rang in his ears the whole flight to Coruscant. Skywalker, but Force, he’d only seen Windu look shaken once before, and it was not an event Anakin liked to remember, You must know there is a chance he won’t make it.
--
In the post-war era of galactic peace, some are struggling to cope more than others. In which Obi-Wan gets sent to live with the Skywalkers for Council-mandated therapy, and Anakin is somehow the stable one for once.
