Fandom Persona 5

Summary

the love of his lifehis rival, in public places turned him on, he wasn't all that surprised.(Ren and Goro fuck all over Tokyo)

Summary
"Our plan was to use Sae's palace," Akira says. "We'd pull you into the Metaverse and let you kill her cognition of me in the interrogation room."
Was. It's useless now that Akechi knows, but Akira smiles as he speaks. He's cornered himself, mate in one, but it won't be the first time he's died. At worst he'll restart his probation again, back in April.
At best, they'll move to step two of his real plan, tearing apart Shido's conspiracy one crooked heart at a time until Akechi is as free as his past allows and resoundingly not dead. It'd be easy to resent the world for demanding Akira save it, but at least it's had the decency to let him save his friends along the way. All of them, even the one who only makes the job harder.

Summary
He slept with Goro Akechi, in the least platonic interpretation of the word.
And they actually ended up discussing the ethics of underage drinking while they were at it.
Ren kind of wants to start laughing hysterically. How did this happen?
In which a one-night stand quickly turns into many others – and this, naturally, changes everything.
Well – almost everything.
Introducing Ren Amamiya in the role of a glorified hoe, co-star Goro Akechi with an obsession for coffee mugs, an assortment of Phantom Thieves in every way, shape and form, issues of family, the power of friendship, the occasional murder and, of course, plans for world domination.
A tale of love and growing into being loved.

Keeping Me From Killing You by FriendOfTheFugitive

Summary
Akechi Goro leaped before looking - it was a simple opening, a simple proposition that would ingratiate him with his prime suspects. Their voices matched the ones he heard in Madarame's Palace. All he needed to do was confirm his suspicions. He rounded the corner, and steel grey eyes focused on him as he appeared, sending his words to the back of his throat. Akechi's perfect smile bought him time; it always did. He was pleasant enough despite the empty-eyed looks possessed by the ones with lighter hair. Before continuing on his way after a miscommunication about food, he glanced over his shoulder, staring back at the lensed glare that practically pinned him against the wall.
Akechi set a task to add Amamiya Ren to his plans, unaware that he had already revealed his hand.
OR
A retelling of Persona 5 Royal, swapping between Joker and Akechi's perspectives with a heavy emphasis on Shuake/Akeshu. Original events have been added, tweaks to certain plot points to adjust pacing, and the relationship between Joker and Akechi has been incorporated without changing the story's overall course.
No part of this work was made/written using AI. I just like em/en dashes.

Summary
Akechi was supposed to be dead. Where the hell was he, and what were those goddamn pictures on the wall about?!
Brief glimpses of the photos littered his mind. Pictures of him and Kurusu at the beach, at some sort of fireworks festival, and more specifically one that looked a lot like a–a–wed–
Almost on instinct, Akechi’s eyes flew to his left hand.
There was an ivory band around his ring finger.
No.
No.
Nonononononononononono—
Instead of meeting his end at Shido's Palace, Akechi finds himself 10 years into a future where he's married to his rival, Akira Kurusu. But who or what put him here, and why does he get the feeling there's more to this world than meets the eye...?

Summary
Joker replied by thrusting a travel cup of coffee towards Crow. “It’s a little cold. I hope you don’t mind.”
Crow gave a small wave. “No thank you. I’m picky about my coffee.”
“I know someone who also says they’re picky about their coffee. They say they don’t like sweets either, but I’ve been sneaking sugar in their coffee for the past week, and they told me that I’ve been making their coffee better than usual lately.” Joker twisted the cap off the cup and took a sip.
“Glad to know that you openly admit to poisoning people.”
“Yeah, and what are you gonna do about it? Arrest me?”

Or:
What would happen if you found out that the criminal you’ve been investigating is the same guy you’ve been pining after for months?
