A screenshot of a Google Docs document. It is a summary of afterreign’s story “always,” which reads the following:

goro […] leans against the staircase railing with a leg deliberately crossed over the other. the neon purple and blue lights illuminate the wear and tear of his easter bunny costume, his red bow skewed and the stitching loose around his knees. what should be a handy dandy flashlight goro taps innocently against his shoulder is instead a large butcher knife plucked straight from the kitchens that yusukitsune, akicat's bugged out buddy, is no doubt roaming.

akicat doesn't flinch, and that's not just because he's being brave for shinya, who snuck into and is now stuck in the pizzaplex until the doors open in the morning, as an animatronic, akicat isn't programmed to feel fear, not like humans do. yet he is programmed to worry, and that's something he feels too easily-for shinya, who akicat has tucked safely into the snug enclosure of his chest cavity, and for goro, who doesn't seem to be all himself right now.

Summary of afterreign’s story “make the wanting worse”:

Akira feels like an outsider as he watches on. Clueless to any onlookers, Cove waits by the crashing waves, the water climbing onto the sand before falling short of completely soaking his shoes. When Akira takes a few steps closer (but not enough where it seems like he'd actually want to initiate conversation), he notices that Cove's practically in the same clothes as he was in at school, just with an added, insulated jacket Mr. Holden likely forced on him. The dark turtleneck poking out of his hood evokes distant summer memories—of Cove, in a slick, black wetsuit passing by Akira's house without sparing a glance, hauling a surfboard close to his side.
He's going to swim, is the stray thought that bubbles up in his mind, but Akira knows that Cove isn't that crazy. People closer to him, though, would be much better at providing insight.

Or: It was summer when Akira first met Cove. It's winter when Akira sees him. (An AU in which Akira, the main character of Persona 5, is the protagonist of Our Life.)

Summary of afterreign’s story:

There he goes again, just as I expected. The same old, tiresome pattern of looking downcast, words threatening to spill from his mouth like that time he petulantly sucked on a lemon, childlike insistence that because it's a fruit, of course it'd be sweet. Of course, Akira regretted it; he'd refuse to whine, swallowing all of his ews and yucks, when he discovered his mistake with the gravity that only a child could ever experience. I had placed an orange-flavored candy from my purse into the warmth of his palm, enclosing his hand with my own, the memory of laughter kissing my lips. I know my son.

Or: Two weeks after Akira returns to Inaba, he and his mother share a meal together. Sometimes, his mother thinks, it's like he's not sitting in front of her at all.

Summary of afterreign's story:

An array of things could happen after that. Kurusu, having already stood up in this hypothetical scenario of Goro’s, could break out in a full sob that echoes within the enclosed café, ugly, fat tears rolling down his cheeks as he blabbed about how much he missed him, how he spent countless nights concocting fantasies of this very moment. Or he could play it cool, punching Goro in the shoulder like one of his “bros” (Sakamoto is entirely to blame for this), and say it’s nice to have him back in a tone not unlike someone greeting an underpaid coworker returning from taking the weekend off. Or Kurusu could simply walk up and hug him without a word—an embrace so lethal that the radiating warmth would remind Goro that he is, above all else, alive. That when he does die (because he has to at some point, right?), this is what he’ll never experience again. This is what he’ll miss.

Or: Two years after Maruki's Palace has collapsed, Goro contemplates reuniting with Kurusu. Simply ignore the part where he's basically standing outside of Café Leblanc already, yes?

Summary of afterreign’s story “gotcha gacha, anyone?”

It takes thirty minutes before Ryuji fixes Akira with a look. "Uh, dude?"

"Yeah?" says Akira, but it's easy to tell there's not much thought behind the response. He's too preoccupied with diligently tapping away at his phone, glass breaking and what the trio can only describe as plop sounding off with each finger press.

"Ain't this just Candy Crush?"

That gets Akira to look up. He lets out an offended gasp. "No, it's Cookie Run: Witch's Castle."

Or: Akira, Ann, and Ryuji get together for their annual game night. And this year's theme? Gacha games.

When he returns from his fight against an aggravated Dark Pit and an even more aggravated Wolf, Akira expects nothing out of the ordinary as far as the Smash House goes. (And yes, he can’t believe it’s actually called that.) Maybe he’ll find Lucario and Sheik meditating in the common area despite the noise level around them, their concentration unmatched. Or he’ll bump into a cluster of princesses, each murmuring behind gloved hands, as they sip their tea and stain the rims of porcelain cups with freshly applied lipstick. The typical shenanigans.

Summary of afterreign’s story “MISBEGOTTEN”:

SCENE: It is a cool November evening in a quaint café located in Yongen-Jaya, Japan. To the left, there is a creaky staircase leading upstairs, a few wooden cabinets, a fridge speckled with various magnets and papers, and a lit up television on mute. To the right, a door. At center stage, a polished bar top with red cushioned chairs in the front-the meeting ground for friends and strangers alike. An assortment of various items sit on the bar. a potted rice lily, a row of siphon coffee makers, a stainless percolator, white teapots, cups, puzzle books, a yellow, rotary phone, and a bulky cash register. A lampshade in assorted colors hangs from the ceiling. The place is like a time capsule of February 20XX with nearly everything in place but the atmosphere.
There are no patrons. Only one person is present: AKIRA KURUSU.

Or: A conversation that changes absolutely nothing for Goro and Akira. Set over one year after Akira accepts Maruki's deal.

“What is,” —and Goro pronounces it so painstakingly slow— “cháng… shòu miàn?”

“They’re longevity noodles. Basically, they’re these uncut noodles that are fried or are in a bowl of soup. You’re supposed to eat them to prolong your life, I think?”

“Like toshikoshi soba.”

“Yeah, exactly.” As soon as Kurusu says that, he immediately appears crestfallen. “Oh my god. We should’ve gotten toshikoshi soba.”

Or: With a mere five days left before Maruki’s reality takes complete hold, Kurusu invites Goro out for some ramen for definitely no particular holiday at all. Goro has questions.
