the fics i’ve read in july 2021

happy august everyone! to continue the tradition that i started last month, i’ll once again be making a compilation that highlights my favorite persona 5 fics. if you’d like to see last month’s fic recommendation list, you can find that here.

all fics listed here are from persona 5, and mostly consist of shuake / akeshu fics. please mind the tags/warnings/ratings when viewing the fics; read what you’re most comfortable with! with this in mind, the full list is located under the cut.

all fics are formatted as TITLE by author | rating | appx. word count | brief description of fic (including main ship/character, tropes/AU, and whether the fic is completed, ongoing, or abandoned)

Talkative Sleep by Zeliez | G | 1.4k | very soft akeshu oneshot where goro talks in his sleep, highlighting his more vulnerable side! recommended for anyone who wants a cute read and wants an instant serotonin boost!

Hello, Stranger by UnluckyLeek | G | 18k | a completed multichapter fic that focuses on akechi in post-p5r, with an emphasis on akechi and sojiro friendship.

you’re the one (who signed up for this) by pana (panaceaa) | M | 11k | an incredibly soft shuake oneshot that highlights the different aspects of akira and goro’s married life, all from goro’s POV!

Rent a Boyfriend by wabisoapy | T | 4.5k | a shuake oneshot that prominently features the fake dating trope. recommended for anyone looking for a hilarious read and great dialogue!

the prices for your lips by corrupted_voracity | T | 10.1k | akeshu oneshot where akira runs a kissing booth and kisses Everyone™ (at the expense of goro’s sanity). features great depictions of body language and visual imagery!

Two Can Play at That Game by orphan_account | T | 44.1k | a completed multichapter shuake fic where ren and goro play gay chicken with each other. takes place from ren’s POV, and showcases his emotions while emphasizing his rivalry with goro.

War Games by assentodele | T | 3.4k | shuake oneshot that provides a glimpse into akira and goro’s banter. features fantastic dialogue and characterization, and is practically shuake verbal ammunition, the fic.

Once More, With Feeling by beesandtoes | M | 77k | a completed multichapter shuake fic where akira and goro are stuck on a time loop on december 11th (aka the engine room). the development and progression of shuake’s relationship here is wonderful but also features a Lot of mental health issues (which are beautifully rendered).

and that’s all the fics i have to recommend for now! i hope to see you all next month for another batch of lovely fics. in the meantime, i hope anyone who reads these fics enjoys them as much as i did!
