Summary
Once they pretended to break up, Roxas would never have to be around Riku again. And before they pretended to break up, he could be around Riku all he wanted. Maybe he’d understand by then why he wanted to do both.
Guest-starring: Existential angst, a karaoke competition, blackmail, semi-public arguments most people assumed were semi-public makeouts, Truth or Dare or Darkness, and a general lack of honesty.

Summary
It wasn't like prayer at all. Prayer was begging a god for something. Neku knew better by now than to ask anything from Joshua, and Joshua was certainly no god to him. So it was nothing more than a message, or maybe a signal, because of course he was listening: I still think about you. I miss you. Would you think I'm stupid for that? Do you?
I don't care.
You should come back.
The weirdest things set him off.

Summary
“Roxas,” Xion said, unsure if it was a question or a statement. Really, it was neither—it was a test, one she shouldn't have bothered with at all.
He was still crying, like no one had said anything. Because nobody did. She choked something back. What did I expect? Some sort of miracle, just for me?
(Or: Roxas joins Xion in Sora's heart, but he doesn't know she's there.)

Summary
Izumi has picked a terrible day to send Al and Ed to wait in line for an exhibit of famous paintings. It's a useless errand, and there's no way it'll teach them anything, and Ed really wishes he were doing anything else. Still, the brothers make their own fun as they wait in line... And Ed ends up having a nice day, after all.

Summary
Ten days from Joker's demise, Akechi loses access to Loki. As the plan cannot be compromised, Akechi ventures out to investigate his own Palace... which seems to be more than it lets on.
[joker and akechi share a palace; royal spoilers potentially. i'm updating whenever the shuake brainworms strike, which appears to be fairly frequently, thankfully.]

Summary
Futaba sighs, walking farther to collapse on a nearby bench. “… it’s called Hanahaki. It’s actually a super popular trope in stories online—that’s how I recognized it. People who have it… well, you saw how Akira was. They grow flowers in their lungs and puke it up when it gets too bad.”
“And do you know its origins?" Goro asks. "Anything that could link back to Maruki? He must have added it for a reason.”
“... Yeah, I think so. That’s kinda why I wanted to talk to you about this alone.” Futaba brings her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. “People only get Hanahaki if they love someone who doesn’t love them back.”
or; a strange status effect fills Akira's lungs with flowers. Goro is left to care for him—and to grapple with what the disease means.

Summary
Akira’s entranced by it. The charm bears the same logo as the ‘A’ on her briefcase. It’s disgustingly adorable.
“A gift. From a fan. It’s not the kind of thing I usually wear – not exactly proper dress for a Detective Princess,” and she must be having a brilliant time mocking her, seeing as how the words ‘Detective Princess’ aren’t accompanied by their usual sneer. “But what’s the harm, right? Nobody in this reality seems to care.”
Except for one, Akira thinks. But clearly, you’ve figured that out already.
Or: After Akechi returns from the dead, she starts making subtle alterations to her wardrobe. Akira notices.

Summary
On the day of the two-month anniversary since Kurusu Akira shit all over his heart, Goro wakes up, and he is fine. Even if his mouth still tastes like the cheap beer he washed down his throat last night, and there’s definitely a line of drool on his cheek, he opens his eyes, and he doesn’t feel like he hates the world as much as he did yesterday morning. Goro is fine, and not thinking at all about how much it hurts to be in love with Kurusu Akira, until he checks his phone.
(2:04 AM)
Akira: hey
Akira: wydAkira breaks up with Goro. Goro deals.
