Goro Akechi is dying on Ren's doorstep. Maybe. The universe is unfair, and nothing it does could have prepared him for this.

Summary
Akechi swallows. “...I shouldn’t,” he says softly. “It’s… I…”
“Please.” Akira kisses him again, gentle as he can be when he wants to lock the door to Leblanc and take this man to his room and not let him out until morning.
Akira wants Akechi to stay the night. (After Confidant Rank 6, before joining the group.)

Summary
“We got attacked by a group of shadows,” she says. “They hit Crow with something… weird.”
“From what we can tell,” Futaba explains, “It seems to be a physical effect that corresponds with his emotional feelings.”
“He gets little hearts over his head whenever he sees you,” Ryuji finally says. “We think the more hearts you have, the more he likes you.”
Makoto says, in a slightly strained voice, “I beg your pardon?”

Summary
He refused to leave Akechi here to fucking die in the bowels of his asshole father's ship. He'd give anything. He'd beg, he'd pray, he'd switch places with him, he didn't care, just please, someone—
"I have the strength you seek, voleur de coeurs, but your heart is not yet prepared to hold me."
Agony pulsed from his temples and lanced down his spine, thorns lodging between every column. Fire seared through his veins, charring into his fingertips. He choked on smoke and ash in his lungs.
Akira dropped in time with the gunshots he didn't hear over the sound of his own screaming. His knees cracked against the ground.
He remembered this sensation.
This was so much worse than Arsene.
I say: "Watch me save him."

Summary
“It’s fine,” Akira comments. He puts a hand on Goro’s shoulder. Goro, startled by the sudden physical touch, instantly snaps his head back to him. His eyes look at the hand on him, back to Akira’s face, and then seem to settle there. With all the charm he can summon from Joker without the aid of the Metaverse, he says, “What’s a few kisses between friends?”
Goro’s expression flattens out. There’s a flash of an unnamable something in his eyes, but it’s gone just as quick as it came. He gnaws on his bottom lip. “Is that,” he coughs a little into his hand, “something you do with your other friends often, then?”
He doesn’t look pleased at the thought, and it makes Akira want to laugh. “Do they press me against flat surfaces and kiss me out of the blue?” He shakes his head, a smile on his face, “I can’t say they do.”

Summary
Goro was faithless.
Being faithless does not mean he doesn’t believe in the gods—oh no, Goro believes in them just fine.
He has been conceived by one, after all.~
An AU where Goro is Icarus and Akira is Apollo—with a twist.

Summary
“Your father broke your heart.” Joker's pale fingers gently run over the displayed viscera, caressing innards almost, almost lovingly. “It was only fair that I reaped you his.”
The black dagger once again finds its way to Joker’s deft hands, layers of fat and muscle parting under the elegant dance of his blade.
It’s haunting.
It’s beautiful.- Language:

Summary
The words such as irreversible brain damage, spinal cord injury all went over Akira’s head. He barely listened to the doctor with eyes fixed on the small figure on the hospital bed. He couldn’t help but think that Goro finally looks peaceful. The disgusting part of him thought it might be for the better.
Better. That’s when it dawned on him.
Goro Akechi would never get better. Goro Akechi would spend the rest of his days confined to a hospital bed.
In January of 201X, Goro Akechi is found again.
In January of 201X, Akira Kurusu's life ends.

Summary
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is full of shit, Akira thinks.
How can you define grief as five measly stages? How can you define grief at all? Akira shoves his hands into his messy curls and lets out a groan while sitting at Leblanc’s counter.
Grief is not all that simple to Akira. It comes in spurts, in squiggles, in lines, in blobs. It’s not nearly close to linear, and it’s not even close to five stages. Maybe ten. Maybe twenty. Hell, to him, it seems like the stages are endless. He’s stuck in a loop of grievance that shows no pity towards him.
Or, Akira never thought he'd have to incorporate Maruki's lesson on the five stages of grief into his own life.

Summary
Several thousand years ago, King Yaldaboath purged the Unseelie from the Summer Kingdom and sealed the Barrier, permanently separating the two realms and sparing the Seelie from the Darkening, a wasting disease spread by the Unseelie. The Seelie lived in peace under the King's rule until, mysteriously, the Darkening began to return, ravaging outlying towns and stirring panic everywhere.
Tucked away in the Summer Court, Goro has more immediate concerns: pleasing his cold and duplicitous father, maintaining his toothless and friendly facade, and hiding his own treasonous aspirations. The arrival of an enigmatic new page certainly doesn't help things. Akira is magnetic and unusually interested in him and Goro finds himself increasingly distracted. When the Darkening comes to their front door, Goro and Akira set out to discover the cause of the outbreak, but the answers they find throw everything about the world as they know it into question.

Summary
Goro Akechi's wings don't move.
Sure, Akira's seen them move. He's seen them ruffle with pleasure at a joke and flare slightly to accompany a passionate speech. But all of that happens on TV. It's all on purpose. When Akechi isn't intentionally acting, his wings don't move.
And it's weird.
Or: 5 times Akechi's wings were honest with Akira and 1 time they both tried to use their words.

Summary
The bell rung above him, the last time for a long time—
"Huh... Kid, wait!" Sojiro held up a plain envelope from his stack. "This one's addressed to you." He flipped it around, squinting. "No return address, though."
He took the offered envelope, looking it over.
The handwriting…
Akira viciously smothered the hope, because it was impossible. No matter how similar it looked to case notes and essays seen in brief, upside-down flashes across the counter before his attention was drawn away by gloved hands wrapping around a coffee mug and the glint of wine eyes.
His heart beat a staccato rhythm against his chest despite himself, uncaring of how devastating this would be if he was wrong.
He slid his finger beneath the envelope's lip, gently tearing it open. Inside was a small piece of paper. It held one sentence, scrawled in blue ink.

Summary
Futaba has never liked Akechi Goro.
He was strangely docile, even if he's exhausted, and there was a foreign glint in his eyes that bothers her. Not a surrender, but words held back and a bitten tongue.

Summary
“I don’t like my hair being touched.”
That’s certainly news to Akira. There’s something heavy in the way Goro says it, the words weighted with some meaning that Akira can’t even begin to understand.
“It never seems to bother you when I touch it.”
“...I don’t mind when it’s you,” Goro admits, voice quiet.
or;
Akira's been best friends with Goro since he was ten, and they've had their fair share of stupid bets and high-stakes challenges. Even so, when the next contingency prize is having Goro grow his hair out, Akira gets more than he bargained for.

Summary
When an unexpected outside threat suddenly appears and destabilizes Goro's plans, he's convinced the best course of action is keeping quiet. He's managed everything so far, why should this be any different? Unfortunately, he's fallen in with some of the nosiest teens in Tokyo, and when Akira discovers something is wrong, Goro's problems only double. Juggling school, work, revenge, betrayal, and a stalker is hard enough without trying to keep from falling in love with a boy who's destined to die in less than a month.
But someone is out for blood, and they won't be ignored.
