Summary
Owada's (unexpected) release from prison couldn't have come on a worse day, and he's going to do whatever he can to ruin the man who put him behind bars.
But Zenkichi Hasegawa is no dog, and the Phantom Thieves are no longer just a bunch of damn kids. After taking down a few gods and weathering a ton of hardships, they've learned two things.
One: you don't mess with the team dad.
Two: you don't mess with the team dad's kids.

a ridiculously self-indulgent, canon-divergent, post-Strikers alternate universe fic with zenkichi as the goofy lovable dad who's secretly a badass but was forced to muzzle the latter aspect when he was a cop. …thank god he's no longer a cop.

Summary
Ren never really considered trusting a cop, much less Public Security, with a deal to clear their names during the summer. And who could blame him, considering their track record.
The more days that rolled by on the whirlwind of a vacation that was supposed to be more play and less work, though... the more he found himself trying to place his faith in one, even amongst his own self-doubts and constant (what he thought were irrational) fears.
As Ren works to overcome his struggles to trust a PubSec investigator after the system failed him, Zenkichi Hasegawa finds himself in a different fight: one that forces him to confront his growing affection for a bunch of kids, the broken system he's worked in for years... and a shadow of himself that he doesn't want to face until he's finally forced to.

Summary
Zenkichi gets close enough to check his fever again and Akira blinks tiredly at him, eyes filled with tears he shamefully wipes away.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay - you’re okay kid,” He soothes, brushing his hand through his sweat soaked bangs.
“Sorry - I don’t know why - “ Akira murmurs brokenly, tears still falling down his cheeks despite his attempts to wipe them away. “I take hits all the time, I’ve been tortured, but God, this hurts so bad -“ He breaks off with a weak cry, curling even tighter into himself.
...
Appendicitis isn't fun, especially stuck in a locked room in Konoe's Jail.

Summary
“Why’s that?”
“Does that kind of inquisition serve you well, detective?”
Zenkichi huffs. “Not a detective, Kurusu. I’m PubSec.”
The wind blows ashen through the trees. A thin sound echoes between the graves, bounces until it grows in volume and, like a sort of tinnitus, ingrains itself into his audio. He sees Kurusu bite down on his tongue, mouth a thin line. Sees something fire in his jaw.
3 times Zenkichi Hasegawa was worried about the leader of the Phantom Thieves + 1 time Akira was worried about him
