Summary
It takes everything to fight the grin that threatens to upturn the corner of her mouth.
The thrill of being known, being wanted through any means that have them wanting to tear you apart piece by piece, is a gift. To be safe is to be confined, and Ren has no desire to remain a prisoner for the rest of her life.
The woman stands upright and smiles down at her in a way that’s effortlessly picturesque. Still… there’s a certain glint in her eye, something both terrible and fascinating, like being unable to look away from a devastating storm on the horizon line.
“Get up, and don’t fall behind.”

Tear Me Apart and Lead Me to The Truth Again by OceanPalace for rennito

Summary
A lump forms in Goro’s throat, and it doesn’t budge even when Ren asks him:
“So, Akechi, could you tell me more about Voltaire?”
And he does.
The evening passes far quicker than he could ever anticipate. It’s in tidbits of knowledge and immersive debates, chess moves that barely make sense anymore, because he’s a little too lost in the low timbre of Ren’s words and the soothing notes of their coffee.
It hits differently, dreadfully, that this is the last time. And that he maybe, possibly, wants this time to last forever.

Goro and Ren spend one "last" evening together, exchanging just a few more words in the time that they have.
Requested by @femakeshu (Twitter)! :D -

Summary
Said man leads them to the table set a few feet away from the windows, keeping them balanced at the edge of the world with just the two of them, and Goro feels like he’s been thrown back years into the past – a similar sight soaked into his memory; quiet promises and stolen glances and careful touches etched right into the crevices of his mind from their time in the Tokyo Skytree.
Goro feels his heart rate pick up, barely tuned into the freshwater lake and tower construction trivia tumbling from his boyfriend’s lips as he pours and hands over a glass of rosy champagne.
Joker’s words are rehearsed and nervous and terribly, disgustingly endearing, despite himself.

Having enjoyed two weeks in each other's company exploring the bustling Canadian city of Toronto, Goro and Akira steadily wrap up their longest trip yet with an evening at the CN Tower. Still, Goro can't quite shake the feeling that something is amiss about his partner...

Summary
Mahiru loses her camera. Somehow, she's equal parts relieved and terrified to have it back within her own desensitized, scar-riddled hands.

Summary
Chiaki smiles bittersweetly as she takes a deep breath, tucking her cane into her utility belt. Inspector Akamatsu wouldn’t be around to chase them down this time, but the Cooper gang heirloom was more than worth the effort.
They’d gotten the Thievius Raccoonus back some time ago, but now it was time to make Enoshima pay the price.

Summary
It's been a decade since the Phantom Thieves of Hearts disbanded, and Ren's life is going well -- he's got a new job in Tokyo, he's reconnecting with his old friends, and he's starting to get a handle on mourning the life he used to lead and the boy he couldn't save. When he runs into an eerily familiar stranger, however, everything starts to split at the seams.
Or, Amamiya Ren buys cheap coffee at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and all the grief he's tried to pack up and ignore comes back with a vengeance.

Summary
Akechi glances briefly at his sword, then casts it aside. Grabs Akira’s discarded dagger instead. Crouches in front of Akira.
“Try to bite down on something,” he says. “I apologize in advance.”
(An opportunistic Shadow implants something in Akira's chest. Akechi gets it out, but they get...distracted.)

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
But this isn't like that, is it? It's just money. He isn't killing anyone – if anything he's saving his own life, and Ren wanted him to live, didn't he?
Yes, Ren wanted him to live. But he also wanted him to do better. Be better. Not only did he want that, he also seemed to believe Akechi was capable of it, despite a myriad of evidence to the contrary.
Or: Ren moves back home. Akechi breaks into Leblanc and starts squatting in Ren's old room.

Summary
Sometimes, two sides of the same coin make everything into a competition. Sometimes they instead team up into a near-unbeatable team. Occasionally a problem calls for both tactics combined. The team’s mission? Finding a therapist they can trust who won’t try taking over the world, and plan for a future they didn’t think they’d get.
Rated M for language and mentions of past traumas.
