Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

Bookmarker's Notes
I'm not generally into Omegaverse stuff, but this is so well done, and I'm enjoying the lore and characterization so I gotta recommend! Thank you for writing this!

Summary
But this isn't like that, is it? It's just money. He isn't killing anyone – if anything he's saving his own life, and Ren wanted him to live, didn't he?
Yes, Ren wanted him to live. But he also wanted him to do better. Be better. Not only did he want that, he also seemed to believe Akechi was capable of it, despite a myriad of evidence to the contrary.
Or: Ren moves back home. Akechi breaks into Leblanc and starts squatting in Ren's old room.

Ren arrives a few days early to Tokyo and is promptly run over (via bicycle) by a certain detective. This accidental meeting sparks an intense friendship that neither boy is willing to let go of, even as forces begin conspiring to set them against one another. Whether it’s Masayoshi Shido or the God of Control, nothing in hell is going to divide Joker and Crow.

Summary
Akira Kurusu is dead.
Goro knows this because he can see him. He’s standing beside the bar, miserable and translucent, his posture tight and eyes faded dull. He flinches every time someone suggests going back to the ship to get him, presumably because, like Goro, he knows what they’ll find. He wonders if he’s real— he assumes he can’t be. Ghosts aren’t an actual thing that exist, and it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch for his own mind to finally have fucking cracked after a day like today.
It doesn’t matter. Either he’s finally snapped, because Akira is dead and it’s his fault, or he’s being haunted because Akira is dead and it’s his fault. The difference, in the moment, feels semantic.
(It's not like it's bad having him around. And if he's right and Goro can bring him back? Well. He's not going to get his hopes up.)

Summary
Akechi’s cognitive fortress is a sprawling labyrinth of traps and contradictions, hostile and alluring by turns. It has three rulers: a prince, a monster, and an outlaw. None of them can seem to decide whether they want to shut Joker out or keep him forever. And Joker can’t decide if he wants to beat them at their games, or let himself be caught.
He thought he’d never see Akechi again after the collapse of Maruki’s reality. Now he sees him more deeply than he ever has before. And while that’s challenging, heartbreaking, and maddening all at once, it’s also a thrill he can’t get enough of. But as usual for him and Akechi, they’re on borrowed time. If he can’t solve the mysteries of Akechi’s heart, and quickly, he’ll lose his only chance to bring Akechi back to the real world, alive and whole.
And he would sooner let the entire Metaverse collapse on his head than leave without Akechi this time.

Summary
"If only we'd met a few years earlier..."
There's been news about a cursed child moving into town. The townsfolk are ruffled; Akira is unconcerned. There are far more pressing issues to fixate on—like pestering this random boy in the woods into becoming his life-long rival.
Meanwhile, Goro has only just moved into the soon-to-be newest installment of his long line of failed foster homes and he's somehow already picked up a second shadow. His pest is naïve, delusional, and a total space case. Not to mention, Goro's pretty sure he only has a single brain cell bouncing around in that souped-up skull of his.
At the very least, he's entertaining.
In which Akira and Goro do indeed meet earlier. And the consequences are permanent.

Summary
He slept with Goro Akechi, in the least platonic interpretation of the word.
And they actually ended up discussing the ethics of underage drinking while they were at it.
Ren kind of wants to start laughing hysterically. How did this happen?
In which a one-night stand quickly turns into many others – and this, naturally, changes everything.
Well – almost everything.
Introducing Ren Amamiya in the role of a glorified hoe, co-star Goro Akechi with an obsession for coffee mugs, an assortment of Phantom Thieves in every way, shape and form, issues of family, the power of friendship, the occasional murder and, of course, plans for world domination.
A tale of love and growing into being loved.

Summary
Akira Kurusu is a fool. It's a fact that Goro knows to be true, because only a fool would care about Goro when no one else has ever loved or wanted him in his life. Only a fool would befriend someone as spiteful and malicious as Goro. So stupid and oblivious.
If he was going to recklessly carve out a place for himself in Goro's heart, then he should've been prepared to face the consequences.Alternatively: Goro Akechi and Akira Kurusu grow up in the same foster home. Akira befriends Goro and pays the price.

Summary
In an attempt to get rid of a long standing crush, Akira avoids his best friend for a month to no avail. Akechi Goro does not take to the idea very well and resorts to petty methods to force Akira to hang out with him -
like insisting he needs help on a boring case involving a string of thefts he never had any intention of looking into.

Summary
“We need to talk about this. And I don’t just mean you leaving” --Ren raises a hand, cutting off Akechi before he can finish opening his mouth-- “I mean everything.”
“It’s pointless. I’ve already told you as much.” Akechi rolls his eyes and digs a crumpled lens rag out of his pocket. “After I’m gone, none of those things will matter anymore. If you think that your usual brand of brainless sentimentality will work on me, then--”
Just then, as Akechi unfurls the glasses cleaning rag, something clatters to the ground between them. Their heads turn to follow the sound in unison, and both discover the source at the same time -- an incredibly smooth, thumb-sized rock.
They raise their eyes again, steel gray meeting dark auburn.
Akechi’s Adam’s apple bobs under the collar of his turtleneck. “...Please let me explain.”Sometimes, if a rock is smooth enough, it can drag a man out of hiding and force him into a secret shared custody agreement with the guy he's hiding from -- and what Yusuke doesn't know can't hurt him.

Summary
Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.
Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.
Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.
Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.
No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?
What would Mom do?

Summary
After a falling out with his parents regarding his future, Ren Amamiya enrolls in a culinary arts academy in the United States.
There, miles across the sea, he has a chance encounter with Goro Akechi, who’d left him with a single glove and the memory of a bitterly cold winter evening.
…He also learns that Akechi really can’t cook to save his life, nor can he afford takeout at the moment.
Ren, eager to prove himself beyond curry and coffee, needs a harsh critic in order to hone his culinary skills. Someone who won’t just nod politely and choke down whatever’s on the plate.
So, they strike up another deal.
Ren will prepare a new dish each time they meet. Akechi will taste it, and give his verdict.
If Ren can get Akechi to rank any meal an honest ten out of ten, then that means he’s succeeded.It’s a simple deal. And nothing could possibly complicate things.

Summary
June, 20XX.
Each passing day brings new challenges, and each passing day brings his plan closer to fruition.
So, who cares if he keeps remembering things that never happened? So what if there are eight Phantom Thieves, rather than the three he expected? And so what if their leader has proven surprisingly adept at avoiding him?
None of it matters. A new game is starting, and Akechi Goro is going to win it.

Summary
“So I’m to be bait,” Akechi says flatly. “You’re serving me up.”
Ren can feel the grin on his face, and he can’t stop it. “I gotta open the store tomorrow, I only serve coffee.”
“Absolutely idiotic. Why would I agree to that?"
Ren shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the movie theater wall, smiling. He’s feeling light on his feet right now. It’s been a bad day, but the end is nice. “Call it penance.”
“Penance for what,” Akechi says.
His smile stays where it is as he glances away for a moment, then meets Akechi’s eyes again. “Being yourself.”
—
Summer vacation back in Tokyo was supposed to be two things: an exciting break from the mundanity of home, and a chance to see people he's missed so much it hurts. If he survives, Ren has good news for himself on both.
