Summary
Akira pauses at this, replacing confusion with flatness. "You're right. Whatever suits you. We can get right to it: Why have you been dodging all of my communication?"
"Frankly, Akira, let me ask you a question instead. Why do you feel that I owe you communication?"
Goro keeps ghosting Akira throughout January. It's better this way. It has to be.

Summary
Akira Kurusu has seen Goro Akechi die twice and somehow still manages to go on with his life after the fact. So, when what by all accounts appears to be a dream figuration of the Akechi he remembers appears into the Velvet Room, Akira knows better than to fall for the same old trick.
Until Dream Akechi starts quoting Descartes. Then it's chaos.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best P5 socmed AU in this whole site. In the whole world even.
The social media experience is encapsulated *perfectly* and the users and fandom feel so ALIVE. The narrative voice is perfectly balanced between the yearning and the silly, and the book's fragments at the start of the chapter add SO MUCH to the experience and the characters.
I'm insane about this. -
The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking
Fandoms: Persona 5

Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

Summary
Goro half-expected Akira to kiss as if he were still donning Joker’s mask, fierce and overpowering, not giving his opponent a chance to breathe. Instead, he lets his sentimentality lead, guiding the kiss into something slow and sweet. He’s even smiling against it, his fingers clutching tightly in the fabric of Goro’s shirt.
Frustratingly, he only breaks the kiss when Goro tries to deepen it himself. He tries to follow Akira’s lips as they pull away, stopped only when both of Akira’s hands move to cup his face instead.
“What is it now,” Goro grumbles.
“I love you,” Akira says.
or; Akira won't let Goro spend his final night alone, and Goro struggles with the weight of being loved.

Summary
Akechi knows that he’s not supposed to be able to hear Morgana. Maintaining the illusion of ignorance is vital if he wants to gain Akira’s trust and guarantee his death. It’s just a shame that Morgana insists on testing his patience during every interaction. The amount of insults he’s had to endure with a straight face is ridiculous. Still, he tells himself that he just has to curb his indignation until November. Then his plan will culminate in the assassination of the Phantom Thieves’ leader. With Akira gone, Shido will win the election - and Akechi’s moment for revenge will arrive.
He’s so close to victory that he can taste it in the back of his throat. If the biggest obstacle to his success is a talking cat, then he’s gotten pretty lucky.
Unfortunately, he underestimates just how much of a roadblock Akira himself will turn out to be.

Summary
On the morning of February 4th, most of a decade ago, Akechi wakes with a start, stares blindly up at the tiles of the ceiling without registering what he’s looking at, and says out loud, “Well, that’s embarrassing.”

Summary
Akechi's had a good day, and Ren has had a bad one. He’s going to show up to their final meeting smiling and well-rested. He’s looking forward to it. This is going to be easy. It’s going to be fun.
The phone call comes just as he reaches Shibuya station. Akechi leans against the wall, shadowed by a pillar at the Ginza gate, as he takes it. “There’s been a change of plan,” says the man he loathes more than anyone else alive. “Stand by.”

Summary
“Come on, Ren-kun,” Yukari nudges Ren as he slumps. “I dove into being Pink Argus with little experience myself, and I haven’t regretted it since. Maybe you’ll feel the same.”
Ren thinks about it. His life really couldn’t and shouldn’t revolve completely around the shadow world, he supposes. And he’s not obligated to do any more than this if acting doesn’t agree with him after all.
Ann’s going to freak. Futaba is going to lose her shit.
“You remember the Phantom Thieves of Hearts business a few years back?” The director asks. “It won’t be a complete one to one, but I do have to admit that this series’ plot is loosely based on it.”
Okay, now that’s just unfair. Now Ren has to take the role.
So that’s how Ren becomes a Featherman Ranger.
Or, Amamiya Ren becomes a Featherman actor, bases his character off Akechi, and the real Akechi Goro disastrously simps from afar.

Five years later, Ren is a moderately popular streamer and Akechi is a well-known author/model/talk show guest with a rabid fanbase. They haven't spoken— at least, not until Ren calls Akechi his celebrity crush on stream.

Summary
The first letter is soft and humiliating at the same time. The second letter is a ketchup-stained napkin. When the third one comes, written on coffee-scented paper, Goro already knows the reason. The stranger writes to him, more often than he should: he talks about crimes, cats, and questions that can’t be answered—and it’s haunting, really, how similar he is to the brilliant boy Akechi Goro never stopped loving.

Summary
Two years since the re-set of reality, Goro is truly is living as freely as one can. Which means staying far away from Akira. His rival, his comparison point, his may have been friend, his may have been...well, it’s no use living in what could have been. Goro needs to be able to move on from all that occurred, cut off the pathways which drew him to destruction and almost killed him several times over.
Except, when he discovers a secret, he is dragged right back once more.

Summary
Ren has never been so relieved to see a disgruntled expression in his life. His features are all the same as Ren remembers, nothing monstrous or out of place, just pure Akechi Goro—part annoyed and part irate.
Akechi’s eyes widen. They glow almost red in the sunlight. For a second, he looks genuinely, unobstructedly surprised.
“Amamiya,” Akechi says, and his voice is the best thing Ren has heard in months. “What are you doing here?”
*
One year after the collapse of Maruki’s reality, Ren starts meeting a dead boy in his dreams.
