Summary
“Aren’t you glad now?” he asks, voice tense with a strange resignation. “Your dirty secret is finally out.”
Akira considers him for a moment, then places his elbows on the wooden surface, and his head in his hands. A shaky breath escapes him between his trembling fingers. How can he even start to explain to Akechi out of all people, that the greatest thing between them has been the secrecy of it all. When they were together like yesterday evening, they had been their own private universe, bounded just by themselves, a population of two. Akira doesn’t need to keep up the role of the responsible, trustworthy guy, and Akechi doesn’t need to play the perfect role model. They are the world, and the world is them. And no one deserved to know.Bookmarked by pulpfan

Summary
Makoto's had complicated feelings about Crow since the moment they met. It doesn't help that everything he does makes him more suspicious, and it certainly doesn't help that he pointedly and consistently never assuages a damn one of her concerns.
(Crow is mean and sharp and frightening, haughty and rude, impossible, dangerous, and the Phantom Thieves like him. Not even anyway; they like him with and for it. She's never envied anything more.)

Summary
"Akira was barely paying attention to the news, head almost dropping with exhaustion when he heard his mom's surprised gasp, her eyes stuck on the TV. His curiosity got the best of him. He almost dropped his bowl of rice.
His body turned completely unresponsive, unable to blink as he saw the familiar face on the screen. The disgustingly pleasant smile. The empty stare. And those words, reiterating a question that had been plaguing his mind for months already.
WHERE IS AKECHI GORO?"
Goro wakes up in his own Palace and needs to face his Shadow, Red Phoenix, a masked hero adored by the masses who would do anything to succeed where Goro failed—especially to keep Akira in his life instead of pushing him away.

Summary
“So I’m to be bait,” Akechi says flatly. “You’re serving me up.”
Ren can feel the grin on his face, and he can’t stop it. “I gotta open the store tomorrow, I only serve coffee.”
“Absolutely idiotic. Why would I agree to that?"
Ren shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the movie theater wall, smiling. He’s feeling light on his feet right now. It’s been a bad day, but the end is nice. “Call it penance.”
“Penance for what,” Akechi says.
His smile stays where it is as he glances away for a moment, then meets Akechi’s eyes again. “Being yourself.”
—
Summer vacation back in Tokyo was supposed to be two things: an exciting break from the mundanity of home, and a chance to see people he's missed so much it hurts. If he survives, Ren has good news for himself on both.

Summary
Being a leader meant putting the team before his own feelings, being a rock, a solid foundation to build their confidence. Being a leader meant saving face in times of crisis, even personal ones, for the sake of all those who relied on him. Being a leader meant being strong-willed and confident in times of need, a guiding hand to lead those who needed him. A leader was not someone who faltered under great stress. A leader was not someone who pursued hypotheticals and what-ifs for personal gain. A leader was not someone who chased after ghosts and tried to catch them in his hands at the cost of the blood of the living.
Yet Kurusu Akira could not let go of a dead man.

Summary
It’s been, by Ryuji’s rough estimation, two months now. Two months and Ren—Ren Amamiya, his confidant, his partner-in-crime, his very best friend in the whole world—still hasn’t introduced him to the guy he’s dating. Or shown him a picture. Or given him a name. Or anything!
But it’s fine. It’s fine. Ryuji can be supportive while also being held completely in the dark, it’s fine.
He’s literally going to die if he doesn’t meet this guy soon.

Summary
Jay can't dodge this one. Mrs. Johnson is turning seventy-five and she wants her entire family to spend half of December together. They've rented two massive cottages in a fancy winter resort four hours north of Toronto. Maybe, maybe, if he and Matt weren't getting married, he could duck out of it. Maybe if fifty thousand dollars weren't being dangled above their heads, he could whine and mope his way free.
But Matt wouldn't hear it.
"You're going," he said.

Summary
On July 11, 2025, Canadian singer-songwriter Jay McCarrol was arrested for the murder of Luke Lalonde, a member of his live band. He was charged with second degree murder and sentenced to 8 years of incarceration in a federal correctional facility.
Famously, despite damning and public video evidence and multiple eyewitness accounts, McCarrol has denied any and all connection to the crime.
On December 25, 2026, Jon “Matt” Johnson was arrested on charges of domestic terrorism. He was sentenced to 12 years of incarceration in the same facility.
The audio you are about to hear was recorded in the Collins Bay Multilevel Correctional Institution between the dates of February 19 and March 3, 2027.*

Summary
Matt is caught with a locker full of guns before he’s able to shoot anyone. He’s expelled and his family moves to the other side of the city, where he starts at a new school. He’s been banned from watching movies, creating movies and basically doing anything that would bring him joy.
He’s also not meant to contact Owen, but if he happens to find a boy in the music room that just happens to remind him of Owen, that’s probably okay. That’s probably healthy. There’s no rules against that.

Summary
“Here”, Matt holds up the phone. No photo, caller ID Anne. “Um, your sister is calling you?”
Jay sits back down on the couch, his brow furrows. Matt picks up the call, presses the speaker symbol and tosses the phone into Jay's lap who rushes to hold it up to his ear.
“Hello?” Jay flinches as soon as the way too loud voice of his sister booms into his brain. He turns off speakerphone. Matt makes a displeased sound as he drops next to him.
“Hey Annie, what's up?” They don't call each other, have more of a text-back-two-days-later-relationship.
“Hi Jay, so you have to promise not to get mad.”
Jay's little sister is getting married, so Matt and Jay pretend to be a couple. To get a show at the Rivoli, of course.
Watch Nirvanna the Band try to navigate a fake relationship, confusing feelings, decades of repression, mommy issues, and becoming gay icons.Or:

Summary
(Webseries era; an irritated and inquisitive Jay decides to finally exercise the authority he’s always known he has over Matt. He kicks him around on the floor a bit and Matt cums in his pants. The end.)
Matt did well with instruction back then, not just dares and challenges. He was a surprisingly good student. Jay always copied off of him. But when they tossed their caps up on graduation day and no roadmap fell back down into their hands, both stagnated. Matt’s world stayed small, but it was all he needed. Now they were like two fleas running laps on the head of a pin, forever and a day, but would either of them really have it any other way?
Jay dissolves his miserable daydream with a shake of his head, longing to return to his work at the piano keys. But there’s Matt, on his knees, in seeming supplication for another command.

Summary
“You watched the film?”
"I'm afraid not. But I'm excited to see it when it's time for the showing.”
Matt feels that itch, that spring under his feet that fills him whenever he’s coming up with an idea. It’s a literal spring, apparently, because he shifts back and forth until he’s leaning into Williams’ personal space. Because how good would it be, to get back at Jay like this? In their shared hotel room? Fuck, in Jay’s stupid choice of a bed?
“You wanna check a preview back at my place?”
Williams smiles.
Matt's still reeling from the adoration he's getting from the press. An upcoming actor at Sundance approaches him, and, well, he's kind of a little bit like Jay.

“My mind is a black box, even to myself.” He shrugs.
“You’d tell me though, if something was super fucked up?” Jay says, letting go of him.
“You know me, man. If something was even a little fucked up, you think I’d shut up about it?”

Matt comes to a realization, makes a plan, and Jay doesn't really notice at first.Bookmarked by pulpfan

Summary
Like an archivist, Jay continues dutifully onward. He noses along the curve of Matt's neck, smelling the sweat there, going dizzy with desire, before moving his lips to the corner of Matt's mouth. And then his cheek. Jawline. Up around the temples and back down around the ear, neck, throat, collar bones, shoulders. Jay moves with a ruthlessness dedicated to worshiping every inch of Matt until he's squirming.
"Jesus, Bird," Matt pants, "is this what you're like with women? Coming on kind of strong, eh?"
Jay doesn't look up from where he's sucking at a mole on Matt's stomach. "You like it."
Matt's leg hooks itself over Jay's back.
"Yeah. I do."

Summary
What Matt doesn't know about what his friend pictures while masturbating can't possibly hurt him. Presumably. Matt has a preternatural ability to understand Jay thanks to their decades of friendship, but as far as Jay knows, that skill doesn't extend as far as literal mind reading.
And thank god for that.
