A/N: As I’ve expressed before, fanfiction is not a thing that I like to do, especially in the context of this blog and story requests that I receive. I wrote this for a friend. Please don’t expect fanfiction to be more common on this blog. It will not be. I might start an Archive of Our Own account if I decide to write more fanfiction and future works will be posted there.

Persona 5 AU – Akechi Goro and Kurusu Akira are in university now, and continuing the work of the Phantom Thieves, keeping Mementos in check and making sure to collapse any palaces that crop up. A mission goes awry, however, when they face a shadow unlike any they’ve fought before.

Only, something strange is happening: his class is shrinking and it seems to be the girls, without exception, who are dropping out of his class, along with some of the more timid boys. He doesn’t know what to make jockboys that stay in his class, but he certainly finds the way that they look at him distracting.

Handy Helping

Handyman Luca Bryant would have been an underwear model if he had it in him to show his entire body off to the world, but growing up in a small town piled a good heaping of what he would call modesty on top of his psyche. He’s not stupid, though. While he might never actually strip down for his clients, he knows that tight shirts and low-riding pants get him better tips than his usual attire. Luca would have happily coasted on the status quo for the rest of his life, but things are starting to change in his neighborhood and he finds that he’s having to do jobs he’s not quite used to for his newer clients.
