Summary
The computer hums emptily for a moment, joining the rest of the ensemble. Then Elly's voice comes out of it.
“Hello?” Elly says, heedless to neither of their turmoil. Her voice is staticky.
Hearing Elly’s voice feels like a lovely, agonizing hot brand renewing its burn on her psyche, exactly like Ursula had expected it to. What she didn’t expect was how different Elly’s voice sounds; it's an infinitesimal change in pitch, a slightly lower tone, but it's enough for her to notice. It’s not how she remembers it. It’s nearly unbearable.
Or: Ursula and Mike listen to Elly's personal audio entries recorded prior to her death. It doesn't end well for anyone.

Summary
This was practically ancient history in audio format he’s hearing. Mike had never felt this honored in his life, to be able to witness and appreciate such a moment. He felt himself lean back onto the chair, closing his eyes and letting the music wash over him and carry him away to an unfamiliar, yet comforting, past time.
Which was when he heard the alarm of the door screech before sliding open with no warning, to reveal no one except… Dr. Moreux?!
Or: A janitor and a mad scientist walk into a storage unit (in space!)

Summary
The centerpiece of the room is a massive fortune wheel. It sits on a black pedestal, the colorful segments each marked with different symbols of some kind. Akira moves closer to get a better look at them.
Out from behind the wheel walks a figure.
(There’s one last obstacle in Sae’s Palace, and when a world based on the principle of unwinnable games gets desperate, things get a little rough.)

Summary
“Indulge my curiosity,” he says brightly. “How did Ren convince you?”
“Huh?”
“You know Maruki’s dream world,” says Akechi. “I’ve always wondered. You got your mother back.”
Asshole. Jerk. Piece of shit. Why is Ren dating him. Why would anyone date him?
“And,” she grits out.
Akechi doesn’t let the question hang, he shoots it out of the air. “Why,” he says slowly, “would you agree to let that go?”
Sixteen minutes.
“I said we’re not gonna talk,” she says.
Akechi shrugs. “You started it,” he says, “but all right.”--
futaba and akechi discuss the pitfalls of wish fulfilment.

Summary
The infuriating thing, though, is that she just honestly can’t tell what Kurusu does think of her. Sometimes it feels like Kurusu only remembers she exists when Goromi’s right in front of her, even though everyone in the damn country thinks about her all the time. (Thinks about her, wants her, photoshops her face onto gravure idols, tries to follow her home when she doesn’t take a cab -- she wanted all this, but maybe she doesn’t anymore, maybe it’s getting a little old. Knowing that she’s secretly the scariest bitch in Tokyo isn’t nearly as reassuring as it used to be.)
In which Akechi attempts to keep her priorities straight.

Summary
“I’d hoped you'd come find me, too,” says Amamiya.
Perhaps he would have. It's only that in Akechi's version of events, there's nothing fuzzy at all about pulling the trigger and watching Amamiya's brains drip down the back wall.-
on november 20th, akechi goro kills the leader of the phantom thieves. on january 1st, dr maruki takuto brings him back.
(or: au where akechi's plan goes off without a hitch, and 2/2 goes a little differently.)

Summary
Months after the Prentiss attack, Martin Blackwood is having a bad day.
Relationships among his coworkers have fallen apart, their boss is stalking them, and no one can quite shake the feeling that danger is still close by. Martin's doing his best to hold everyone together, but tea and sympathy aren't working like they used to. The sole bright spot is that it's much easier to have a crush on Jon now that he's decided Martin isn't a murderer. Mostly, though, Martin's just glad to make it through the day...
...until he wakes up and has to live the same bad day all over again.
Martin finds himself caught in a loop, reliving the 19th November over and over again, struggling to understand why this is happening and what he has to do to get out. His dear coworker Sasha is acting very strange, spiders keep crawling over everything, and at the center of it all is a man with long, sharp hands, who might be to blame... or might be the key to escaping all of this.
(Or: Michael, Not-Sasha, and Annabelle have a three-sided tug-of-war over Martin's brain, while Martin hooks up with the guy who got him into this mess and keeps trying to Fifty-First-Dates his boss.)
