    Summary

    At 17, Akira Kurusu traversed the collective unconscious to tear the cruelty from the hearts of those who preyed on the weak. At 24, he’s stuck trying to change the world with a political science degree and a job at an obscure leftist news publication. It’s hardly the future he imagined for himself as Joker, but while traveling to Okinawa for work, he runs into an old confidant who's as stuck in the past as he is.

    Summary

    An irritated Pokemon might tell you to stop what you're doing. An irritated animal will probably just attack you. Pokemon, for all their power, would be open books and a breeze to care for to any competent animal handler on Earth. After a fiery death, a professional zookeeper who never outgrew Pokemon games ends up in the world of Pokemon. The entire world is thrown onto its side.

    Summary

    The first time Harry performs accidental magic at the age of 6, two things happen simultaneously.

    First, the toilet, which Dudley had been trying to push Harry’s head down, vanishes with a pop.

    Second, a strange boy with fuzzy edges suddenly appears in the cupboard under the stairs, screaming with terror.

    Or: The one where Harry Potter grows up with an invisible best friend named Tom - and how that changes everything.

    Summary

    If you’d asked Ren to make a list of things Akechi might do after surviving certain death, twice, he would not have put ‘continue his dumb celebrity career’ on it anywhere. Like, not even as a back-up option. Not even close.

    Akechi shrugs. “My agent called. There was still interest. I need money to live. Do you expect me to get a job at 777?”

    Akechi’s face is on the 777. His smile glimmers out at the world, his eyes sparkling with secrets, as if nothing could be more coyly, erotically compelling than a cheap can of iced tea. The photographer seems to have been very, very interested in the way Akechi’s long fingers in black leather gloves set off the sweet curve of his lower lip. Every time Ren works a shift he has to look at this poster for hours. And the advertising campaign is working, so he also has to look at the mini-version on the special limited edition cans of iced tea that everyone is suddenly buying.

    Summary

    He runs as quickly as his feet carry him, passing containers, shelves, only a few meters separating him from the front door. He hears the shouts of the Yakuza behind him as they finally spot him — but they won’t be fast enough to shoot, Akira has already reached the door, he yanks down the handle, pushes open the door—

    And comes face to face with a ghost.

    ___________________________________________

    Five years after the fall of Maruki's reality, Akira has a chance encounter with a certain detective.
