Summary
“Come on, Ren-kun,” Yukari nudges Ren as he slumps. “I dove into being Pink Argus with little experience myself, and I haven’t regretted it since. Maybe you’ll feel the same.”
Ren thinks about it. His life really couldn’t and shouldn’t revolve completely around the shadow world, he supposes. And he’s not obligated to do any more than this if acting doesn’t agree with him after all.
Ann’s going to freak. Futaba is going to lose her shit.
“You remember the Phantom Thieves of Hearts business a few years back?” The director asks. “It won’t be a complete one to one, but I do have to admit that this series’ plot is loosely based on it.”
Okay, now that’s just unfair. Now Ren has to take the role.
So that’s how Ren becomes a Featherman Ranger.
Or, Amamiya Ren becomes a Featherman actor, bases his character off Akechi, and the real Akechi Goro disastrously simps from afar.

Summary
Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.
Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.
Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.
Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.
No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?
What would Mom do?

Stages of Grief (and how spicy food can heal a cold heart) by yllirya

Summary
He feels alive as he hasn’t felt ever since he started to work for the army as a healer. He eats his food while in his mind, he can see the faces of those who didn’t make it; he eats more while he cannot stop thinking about those who he just helped but will meet the same fate soon. He doesn’t hope anymore that this won’t come.
Jiaoqiu adds even more spice.
A journey in Jiaoqiu's mind about how it is to lose patients and fail as a healer (because he is so much more than his smiles and the spicy food he cooks now)
-
Update (Aug 21st): the fic is based on Jiaoqiu's character stories and voice lines which were leaks at the time of the posting date but they no longer are, as he is released today!:) -

Summary
Pandora: a gem the size of a marble with a roiling liquid center. It’s anything but harmless; beyond attracting the eyes of trigger-happy criminals, its other inherent danger is that it’s not from the world Kaito knows.
Thrust suddenly into Amestris, Kaito must navigate a web of lies that quickly spins out of his control as he uncovers Pandora’s past and tries to find a way home—all while keeping track of that damn rock that seems to have a mind of its own. And because Kaito’s life can always get more complicated, there are multiple Amestrian threats poised to kill him at a moment’s notice for learning too much.
Meanwhile, spurred on by the disappearance of her best friend, Aoko becomes something of a detective in her own right, determined to leave no stone unturned. But being a detective means accepting the truth, no matter what.
Unfortunately, these things are easier said than done.

Summary
"He awoke in the dark, alone.
Breaking free of the corpse of a dragon, he sees the gargantuan skull, the rows of jagged teeth flashing a phantom, crushing pain across his back.
He remembered.
He had been designated a failure. He was a failure in Her eyes. To be discarded.
Horror, anguish, and fury bubbled up within him and erupted as a raging scream."
Reborn into the world, a failed experiment rebels against fate and tries to find meaning.
This story is split into 4 parts, following the steps of alchemy, as we follow this character's own transformation, for better or worse.
I thought that the reveal of a 'primordial' prototype of Albedo in the 'Shadows Amidst Snowstorms' event was fascinating. This is my interpretation on the impostor's awakening, how he came to the decision to replace Albedo, and my own speculation on what may have happened after the end of Act 2.
New chapter every day!

Summary
"I do miss him," Akira admits softly, after a few minutes of nothing but an occasional hitched breath. From the watery sound of his voice, it's clear he's still crying. Something about it makes Ryuji's heart twist.
"That's cool, dude," Ryuji says, and then internally beats himself up for his total inability to say anything helpful. Akira must agree with his internal monologue, because they shake their head minutely against his chest.
"I was... I mean despite everything, I was always..." His voice catches and he takes a measured breath, self-soothing. "It's different. I'm still..."
"It's okay, man. I get it," Ryuji says, absolutely not getting it. But he squeezes Akira closer and rubs his shoulder and hopes it'll help and that he can't feel the rapid heartbeat pattering in Ryuji's chest.
—
Ryuji's got feelings for Akira, Akira's got feelings for Akechi, and Akechi's dead. Probably. Or he's in the produce aisle while Ryuji's just trying to get some groceries, because why wouldn't he be?

Summary
“Akechi,” Ren says.
“Shut up.” Akechi snaps again, as dismissively as the first time. He stands with his gun resting against his hip, pinches the bridge of his nose and shuts his eyes tight. “Shut up, I need to think.”
“Akechi, have you been, uh,” Ren taps his foot nervously against the floor. Can’t bear to get his hopes up. “Have you been repeating today too?”
