    Summary

    His thoughts began to run wild. Of course, it was his rotten luck to get stuck with a stupid new ailment that they knew nothing about. It was bad enough that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut on a normal day, and now this dumb fairy tale curse was going to come along and spill all his secrets to anyone who happened to be nearby.

    “We’re not going to let that happen, Yosuke,” Yu said, placing his hand gently on Yosuke’s shoulder. “We will figure it out; we always do.”

    Yosuke’s eyes widened. Goddamnit, he said all of that out loud? This was the actual worst.

    Or

    Yosuke gets hit with a status ailment that compels him to tell the truth, and the consequences of that.

    Summary

    Kazuma Kiryu thought this would be just another visit to Tokyo. Then he wandered past a certain school on a certain day in April, and everything got stranger from there. He might not understand these kids with their "Cognitions" and "Metaverses" and "Personas", but helping strangers, busting heads, and digging through a national conspiracy? All in a day's work for the Dragon of Dojima.

    Summary

    After all was said and done, and his work of two years was finally finished, Arakawa felt at peace. More importantly, he was free to care for other things in his life; and, above all else, for his sons.
    So he decided to do just that - starting with accepting an invitation for a meal that had been promised a long time ago.

    On the night he was supposed to die, Masumi Arakawa ate peking duck with Ichiban.

    Summary

    Kasuga Ichiban is, for lack of a better term, merfolk. He does not know why, he does not know how. All he knows is that one moment, he was a pirate like any other, sailing under Captain Arakawa in the Tojo fleet, and the next he was like this. The once Dread Captain Zhao Tianyou can empathise. Once, he had a ship, a crew, a life on the open seas. Now, mutinied against, abandoned on an uncharted island, he, too, is left to build up from rock bottom.

    The island is home to other outcasts, people who have been spit back up by the ocean, left to survive on nothing but salt and sand. Will they be able to overcome tragedy, treachery and tempests? Will they be able to return to their loved ones, or find new ones? The sea is not a kind mistress, but she often has a way of guiding lost things home.

    A fantasy pirate/merfolk AU very (very) loosely based off of the events of Like a Dragon/Yakuza 7, with a heavy sprinkling of ichizhao for good measure. Updates are scheduled for every Monday. Happy Mermay!

    Summary

    If there was one thing most people could agree on, it's that CEOs were evil. And CEO's of major corporations? They're the closest thing the world's ever going to get to absolute evil. Even the most humane of them have a list of deceased in their names that exceed most war memorials, and the most depraved of them lost track after they entered the tens of millions. If there's one thing you can rely on a corporation head to be, it's cunning, ruthless, and depraved beyond belief.

    Ichiban Kasuga was (reportedly) none of these things. Ichiban Kasuga, from what the few people that have been able to prove their interactions with him have to say, have all claimed that he's a mildly dimwitted man prone to acts of obscene charity, that is always willing to drop whatever he's doing to help a complete stranger out.

    Not even the most gullible person on the planet would believe such an obvious fantasy.
