Heavily inspired by a popular shuake doujin, except Akechi is more insane, as he deserves to be.

Summary
Seven years after the events of Royal, Akechi Goro is working at his part-time job in Osaka when he runs into one Kitagawa Yusuke. Though Yusuke promises to keep his secret for now, it's only a matter of time before Akechi will have to face his past properly.
Post-canon exploration of Akechi as a wild card. There's not particularly a Metaverse involved, but a lot of game elements are applied to the overworld. Pre-written fic

Summary
♠ - It's always hard to tell if Akechi is doing his normal prickly thing or if he's mad about something specific. It's a good thing Akira finds it interesting (and kind of funny).
♤ - Akira took the time to see every single one of them. And in their homes no less. What the hell are they doing in there? Goro kept tabs on these people for months and they've never brought him home with them. All of them, in one week? One has to wonder if there isn't something salacious about all of this.
==
Akechi continues to
stalkmonitor Akira in the new year, and what he witnesses leaves him unsettled, and weirdly upset. The misunderstanding comes to a head when Akira invites him to Jazz Jin. -

Summary
Against his better judgment, Akira seeks out Akechi in the days following 11/20, and asks him to join their cause against Shido. After a physical squabble, Akechi agrees but has his own terms.
kind of ended up being a self-indulgent "December but it's Just Akechi" fic, which wasn't the plan but we're here anyway
Inspired by "Don't Think Twice" by Hikaru Utada, for datahearts in the Mixtape Exchange! i hope you like it!

Summary
"'Uh…' Akira starts. 'These vines won’t let me help you.'
'That’s fine,' Akechi says, seemingly unperturbed. 'I can get out of this myself, I assure you.'
So Akira watches. He watches for several moments as Akechi tries to find a way out of the vines. He tugs, wriggles and pulls—no dice. The vines are still perfectly wrapped around him like a snake coiling its prey. It almost seems that the more he struggles, the worse they tighten.
Akira doesn’t know how to broach the topic, so he tries eloquently, 'Do you think you’re, uh, stuck stuck?'
'Use that glorious intellect of yours, Joker,' Akechi hisses. 'What do you think it looks like?'
After mishandling the research flora in Maruki's Palace, Akechi finds himself trapped in an array of vines. The only way to get out is with Akira's aide, but being trapped drudges up feelings Akechi never wanted to bring to the surface...
Collab with pathomatose for Shuake Week 2024! Day 3: Stuck in a Wall

Summary
Goro thought he knew what he and Joker were—they were rivals. They pushed each other, they balanced each other, they fought in battles of the mind, the body, for their morals and ideals. Thesis and antithesis. They were like Robin Hood and the Sheriff. Bond and Blofeld. Holmes and Moriarty.
But James Moriarty never wanted to fuck Sherlock Holmes.

Summary
Akechi doesn't care about omegas - nothing thrills him quite like the fight for dominance that comes from clashing with another alpha. So he uses a hookup app to find other alphas who want the same thing.
Of course, his anonymous hookup is none other than the leader of the Phantom Thieves.

“Fancy running into you here,” Ren tells him in a lazy attempt at a joke. Neither of them laugh.“Did you know?” Akechi hisses back, tries not to think of how this could ruin him, of how Ren somehow has the upper hand here, again, because Akechi has a reputation, a face in the media, and if it gets out that he’s using fancy love hotels to -
“No. Of course not.”

Summary
What are the odds Akira's best friend who's also his drug dealer who's also his hopeless crush might actually reciprocate his perhaps ill-advised feelings? Not great, he's convinced himself. Stunningly bad, in fact.
So—since this theory is obviously infallible—what's the harm in testing it? Any good mathematician would, and any actuary worth their salt would have no excuse not to, if only to calculate the risks at play. Nothing's going to happen, surely.
Surely.

Summary
Goro swallows, remembering how to speak. “Who are you?”
He swears he can feel the darkness smile. Your saviour. Or your doom. I wonder, pretty human, if you’re willing to make a bargain with me?
A bargain with a demon. For that is what this presence must be, there’s no doubt about it. Goro’s spent his whole life being warned against conversing too much with the beings that grant protection and favour, their whims so changing.
But he has little choice now.
“Name your terms,” he says.
Be my bride. Or die here.

Summary
The drinks were a terrible idea. This can’t be normal. Sure, Akira’s hormones often cause somewhat rash decisions but they’ve never crowded in his veins and mind so loudly he can’t focus. He can almost taste how much he simply wants, gravitating towards Goro in the room as the team reconvenes.
---
The consequences of drinking strange items found in Mementos catch up to Akira and Goro.
