Summary
Sadayo Kawakami has been working Shinjuku since before the world was reborn, struggling against debt and exploitation. She's eked out an okay life, if one that has her dealing with the best and worst of humanity, because they all want to be wanted. And when she's Becky, they get everything they need. And she gets paid. And she's okay with that.
She's a lot less okay with how the rest of Shinjuku gets treated but what can one whore do about it? Not a whole lot. Not when she has a mountain of debts, a boss who wants everything from her: her time, her body, her obedience. At least all the plants are back and food is available. Food's the only concern gone from living now. The rest isn't.
A Persona 5 AU, set years after the end Ecological Succession featuring Sadayo Kawakami plumbing the hearts of the evil and wielding the power of the Archetype to do so. A fic focusing on the dignity of labor in a world that should be post-scarcity, the clawing grip of capitalism and how it won't go peacefully, and that everyone should have a chance to have affection in their lives, regardless of cirumstance.

Summary
After the Metaverse collapsed, everyone moved on. Not Akira, though. What was Akira without Joker, without his arsenal of masks, without the purpose that had made his unsatisfying life whole? His parents despise him, his hometown believe he's a murderer, and Shido's conspiracy follows him everywhere he goes. There had always been more to Akira than Joker, though. Maybe, if he sees himself through his friends' eyes and lets someone special in, he can escape this dark, dangerous spiral.
Someone like Goro Akechi.
A companion piece to my Akeshu fic Chase the Joker, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
The fact that he was still considered a friend to them should’ve eased any doubt in his mind, but a selfish part of him longed for something more. Traces of red lipstick trailed up Sakamoto’s neck, and Goro tasted bile in his throat. He wanted to be the one with Kitagawa’s soft lips on his pulse, or to put his own lips on Sakamoto’s.
He also never wanted to see them again after tonight. He’d admit to this selfishness; that he couldn’t cope with two people loving each other if they didn’t love him, too.

Summary
Sojiro hadn't had dreams in years. And you can take that both ways. He didn't see visions in his sleep since before taking in his now adoptive daughter, and outside of keeping her safe, his aspirations had stagnated almost as thoroughly as his nocturnal imagination.
So why was he dreaming about coffee shop that had no coffee in it, run by a decrepit old man with an impossibly long nose? And why was the old man telling him his fortune? And why did he feel like it wasn't as simple as just a dream, when the world outside that coffee shop looked so much like when the world had gone mad, at Christmas?
He had far too much going on in his life to consider these questions. (That was a lie.)

Summary
She supposed it had been flattering, the way that one of the hosts she’d spoken to had tried to offer her a job, telling her that “a handsome guy like you would draw in customers no problem!” It had warmed her to hear that her disguise was working, and she’d had to fight a small smile from spreading and ruining her professionalism for about an hour.
There had been a sweet drunk woman, too, throwing an arm around Naoto’s shoulders and trying to coax her into joining her and her friends’ bar crawl. She’d tensed up at the sudden contact, but it had certainly been a novel experience having a woman give him her number assuming he- she- was a man. Even though Naoto was pretty definitively not single, it was still quite fun to know that she made an attractive man.

Naoto searches for one truth and finds another.

Summary
Eight years have passed and the good people of Tokyo soon forgot about the Phantom Thieves. Psychotic and mental shutdowns were somehow tragic by-products of Japan’s longest recession. Masayoshi Shido locked up for being a corrupt politician with just charges of bribery, coercion and election sabotage under his belt.
Then, a certain group of people received a calling card from a group that is purportedly straight out of an urban legend.
AKA a post-canon gathering of all the Thieves and Joker’s unplayable confidants.

Summary
Ren laughs and looks at her like the cat who’s caught the canary. Except he’s the cat, she’s the canary, and the look in his eyes really is unfair. “I bet you’re almost shaking with that question.”
Ichiko huffs, the corner of her mouth twitching up. “You’re right, so I’ll bite. “Define ‘here’.”
“Um. In my current position? In Crossroads? In the back lounge?” Ren takes a step forward with each suggestion, his smirk growing more playful and demanding with each one. Finally, he’s close enough for her to feel his breath on her forehead. How did she forget that he was that tall? Ichiko shudders when his hands find her waist. He squeezes playfully, almost possessively. “Right in front of you, Ichiko?” He bends down, so close that she can feel the heat of his breath on her lips now. She’s so fucked, and they both know it. “This close to you?” His whispered words graze over her lips, she licks them wet.
