    Summary

    "Why is this shitfuck pan-rotting pile of artifact-ridden, glitchy, nonsensical sewage that can barely pass itself off as a movie somehow a thoughtful criticism on the global rise of authoritarianism and well-put commentary on how young working class males are forced into the military? What the actual fuck? Why do none of the other reviews mention this?"

    --

    Aka famous movie director "D Strider" pays Karkat to review his shitty movies, and Karkat grows increasingly alarmed that they actually mean something under all of the mind-numbing bullshit. Meeting Strider, the biggest douchebag in the world, does not help. Also he keeps meeting this annoyingly smart human kid and his awkward/obnoxious but very hot guardian. These two things are entirely unrelated.

    Summary

    “You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”

    “I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”

    “You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.

    He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.

    In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

    Summary

    Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.

    Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”

    “None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

    Summary

    "You're sick."

    "And twisted!" Kokichi cackles and throws the pieces one final time. Shuichi zeroes in on them; this is the last part of the game. If Kokichi manages to catch all five of them—Shuichi isn't sure how, exactly, Gonggi works, but he's fairly certain it means Kokichi wins.

    The wrappers fall in a tight, spinning arc, just close enough together that Kokichi has the opportunity to perfectly snatch them into the palm of his hand, and then—

    —every single piece scatters across the tiles as Kokichi doubles over and begins to hack his lungs out.

    a drv3 chapter five hanahaki au in which Kokichi kidnaps Shuichi instead of Kaito, and it makes all the difference.

    Summary

    June, 20XX.

    Each passing day brings new challenges, and each passing day brings his plan closer to fruition.

    So, who cares if he keeps remembering things that never happened? So what if there are eight Phantom Thieves, rather than the three he expected? And so what if their leader has proven surprisingly adept at avoiding him?

    None of it matters. A new game is starting, and Akechi Goro is going to win it.
