Summary
Joker wouldn’t be thinking about Akechi at all. Akira can’t seem to stop, despite the fact that Akechi has betrayed him so fundamentally that thinking about it for too long is enough to give him a panic attack. One way or another, Metaverse or no, Akechi’s going to shoot him in the head, for fuck’s sake. Akira should be furious. Akira should be terrified.
Akira is just desperately sad.
Akira and Akechi, 24 hours before and after the events of 11/19.

Summary
He’s always believed he knew what he was capable of, but it had only been in terms of the chaos he could incite and the pain he could inflict. He had molded himself to that belief. A dog to be kept on a leash, a monster to be chained, an aberration to be studied. He’d never considered that he was capable of anything else, because he was already capable of far too much.
Sephiroth, with one more chance at life, settles into life as a farmer. Then, Cloud shows up.
Do not need any prior knowledge of Stardew Valley to read.

Summary
“Look, Lan Zhan told me, and I paraphrase, ‘to have fun with it’.”
“Uh-huh,” Nie Huaisang says with perfect skepticism, befitting someone who had been friends with Wei Ying for the last ten-odd years. “What did he actually say?”
“‘I trust your judgment,’” Wei Ying says.
“Tragic,” Nie Huaisang says, shaking his head.
Lan Zhan hires Wei Ying to build a website, but fails to email Wei Ying any designs. Wei Ying decides to have a little fun with it and gets in over his head.

Summary
“Wake up,” he says to his body, alarm making him itch. There’s no response. He says it louder, and then yells it, trying to drift forward. He can’t move. He’s curled over his own body, staring down at it, without being able to do anything.
From inside Burial Mounds, Wei Ying’s mind reaches out to those he’s left behind.

Summary
Essek draws out the spool of platinum cord from his component pouch. He loops it around his own wrist before catching Caleb’s wrist and repeating the motion. Caleb blinks, staring down at the wire before meeting Essek’s gaze again. Essek feels him start to tug his hand out, and tightens his grip.
“Do you trust me?”
“I—” Caleb starts, before breaking off, his blue eyes wide.
“Do you trust me?” he repeats, more urgently this time. He has only moments before the door behind him will burst open.
———
In which Essek teaches Caleb the practical application of tether essence.

Summary
“We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”
—--------
Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.
