HEYY NEW FIC

Summary:

“I’m really okay, Makoto,” he says. “It was just rough being with my parents. I’ll bounce back. I always do, don’t I?” “That’s… true,” Makoto says, even if she sounds unsure of the words she’s saying. “Just… I think…” “Whatever it is, you can say it,” Akira says. “I think therapy might be a good idea,” Makoto says, almost in a rush. --- Akira Kurusu moves back to Tokyo and has to come to terms with the fact that he's been dealing with his trauma worse than he thought he was.

Very excited about this one go read it! This will update Sundays.

ryugoro silliness

[chromxena]

the phantom cuties are out to steal your heart! (and maybe they also want to break into a museum and a floating bank!)

alt version under the cut <3

(i just really liked the colors pre!shading and while i love the contrast, i also love this version,,,)

[corviiids]

i can write gen fic about p5 but you can bet no matter what platonic storyline is happening in the foreground somewhere in the background akechi and ren are being fucking complicated. it might not come up because it's not relevant to ryuji's journey but akechi and ren are being complicated somewhere over the rainbow

[todayisafridaynight]

Ryuji was so gay for chasing after Shinada over a autograph, not once, but twice

LISTEN man knew what he wanted alright .... respect...

[nebulaleaf]

i think catboy akira wears primarily dark colours like in canon and preens whenever anyone calls him elegant or well-dressed, but its just because he can't afford to buy lint rollers on a weekly basis

More of my boyfriends adventures together ❤️❤️

aaand we're back! Roommates - Part 7

Beginning | Previous | Next

[ronnie-p]

Look what came in the mail! ❤️

"Roommates" is by @raphodraws. If you haven't picked up a copy and you are a PegoRyu fan, I highly recommend getting it. I believe the physical version is sold out, but the pdf version is still available. Please remember to support the artist however you can.

The book itself was lovingly packed and came in safely. It came with two cute omake. I always love seeing different "thank you" cards from artists. I usually see stuff like that when I order off of booth. The print quality is wonderful. It reminds me of some Dark Horse soft cover prints. The story and art are wonderful. The line art is very much on point. They really nailed Ryuji. He can really be such a hard character to draw. The ending was a chief's kiss. The boys are just adorable. I can not get enough. I look forward to any of their future books.

ryuji and joker roommates situation where akechi is just daring this bitch to call him on it.

[beezonia]

Ryukoto but make it my roommates a vampire au

makoto is the vampire who accidentally seduces human ryuji one night in October ( the month her urges to drink blood are strongest)

now they sort of have to balance each others worst and best attributes along with Makotos vampiric tendencies

is there a scene where ryuji has to ease makoto’s worries about her urges because she think she might hurt him

yes

does that end up in a confession between the two of them

yes!

idk I just love this idea

I have more of the Okujima Fake Dating thing

(summary; Makoto and Haru are uni roommates (and friends w/ benefits but that's not something they address) and to avoid her relatives finding her a partner, Haru lies and tells them she's gay (not a lie) and has a girlfriend she's serious with (mega lie))

Like. Makoto takes this job so seriously

She asks Haru for the guest list and photos so she can remember who is who and she studies, and by the time they arrive she's figured out which relatives to bow to, or shake hands, or offer a fist bump

Haru: you didn't have to do all that,

Makoto: any partner of yours should put in this much effort. Otherwise, they're not worthy of calling you theirs

The room booked for them has one bed, a real nice shower, and a jet tub. They go to bath houses together with their friends, so it's not as awkward as either assumed when they spend a night soaking in the tub together, jets turned on the lowest setting. It's even less awkward when they share the bed, since, well, they've done worse. And besides, Haru has learned over the last two years that she's hella touch starved and has abandonment issues, and Makoto? A very cuddly sleeper. It's, almost like they were designed to work well together (ehe)

Haru's relatives also adore Makoto. Both as a person, and for Haru. They all met Haru after her dad died, before she went off and made friends in uni. They met sad high school Haru. And she's so different from the lady in front of them, not hiding the little snort in her laughter as one of her cousins close to her age teaches Makoto a goofy dance, and she makes it look sillier with how stiff and awkward she is

Haru's cousins from her aunt are three boys. One is married with two kids, one is getting married, and one is her age. The middle and youngest get along with her best, the youngest being a musician, the middle a dancer, and the oldest a gym teacher, former athlete

She's got twin cousins from Uncle 1, her mom's twin. Both just younger than her. A boy, who's going to be an aerospace engineer, and a girl, who wants to be a lawyer. Overly smart little seniors

And uncle two? Two daughters. One older, one younger. The older one is married and about to have a son, and the younger one just started a business ethics degree

There are two more aunts. One, married no kids, the other? Single as hell

Haru's grandparents are there too, and they love Makoto so much. They missed out on so much of Haru's life cause they lost contact with their daughter after she married Kunikazu, and, they're just happy to see she found someone that's as respectful and loving as Makoto

Makoto: do you think your family would mind if I wore a suit?

Haru: nope. My aunt is gay, after all. Her wife will be wearing one too

Makoto: seriously? That's so cool!

Haru: mm! They're the mothers of the groom, so you'll see plenty of them this trip

Makoto: amazing,

Oldest cousin: hey, Haru? Can you watch these two for a moment? I have to go talk to my Mama

Haru: oh- Uhm, okay?

Makoto: here, hand me the little one. Hey, bud

Haru: *gay staring*

By the wedding itself they're fully together. Acting the exact same, but they acknowledge why they stare at each other so tenderly

They'd call the others, their friends from uni, from time to time

The opening of it would be Haru having to admit she fucked up to her bestie Ryuji, and Ann

All head in arms, asking either of them to help her out and Ryuji says he would but he's not exactly a gal, and Ann is spending the summer with her fiancee in Europe, checking out venues for a wedding

Ryuji: why don't you ask Makoto? She's single, and your roommate. It'd be way less awkward than asking anyone else

Haru, not willing to admit the "Friends with Benefits" thing: ...do I really have no other option??

Ann: there's Futaba-

Haru: ugh. I'll ask Mako-chan,

Makoto keeps panic calling Joker or Yusuke after things on the trip like: DOES THIS MEAN SHE LIKES ME??? DO I LIKE HARU?? SEND AN AMBULANCE SHE KISSED ME AND IT FELT REAL I THINK IM DYING

At one point Goro picks up and just growls at her to "woman up, go the hell to sleep, or die. Whichever I don't care stop calling my boyfriend at 2 am"

No weird jealousy plot either just. Them realizing on their own

Like. The way Haru asks, too

She comes home, finds Makoto cooking and humming, a box from the campus bakery on the table, and Haru knows her roommate picked up her favourites, probably just because she *noticed* how off she's been, and. She knows Ryuji is right. Makoto is the best choice to help her with this fuck up,

She walks up behind her, wraps her arms around her hips, grunts in a way that's nearly a whine, plants her head between those strong shoulder blades

"Hey, welcome home, Haru. How was your day? You had your advanced statistics class today, right?"

"Mm. Mako-chan, I, have to ask for your help."

"What's up? Oh, is it that time? I can get the hot water bottle, run out to get more pain meds for you-"

"I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend."

...

...

"Huh? Haru, what-"

"My cousin is getting married. And, I may have lied to my grandparents, about dating someone, so they wouldn't try to set me up with someone. And, they want to meet her. The tickets and hotel are paid for already, just, I don't want to have to tell them I lied,,"

"Well, I wasn't planning to go anywhere but visit my sister, so I'm free for it."

"What."

"Yeah, tell me the details after dinner? The ramen is nearly done."

Makoto is secretly having a mini panic attack inside

She texts Yusuke later like "I CANT SAY MUCH BUT GOD IM GAY"

And Yusuke just texts back a photo a counter on his wall that reads "Makoto says she's gay; 1026"

The wedding is in Okinawa, where the bride is from, so they have to bring bathing suits for the beach, and, Haru does ask Makoto to help her pick which one to bring

Makoto sits there, face red, hands digging into her knees as Haru makes comments about one of them maybe making her look more chubby, maybe she should stick to a one piece-

Makoto: you're gorgeous. Every part of you. If you like how it looks on you, screw what anyone says

Haru: ...but. do you like it?

(Reminder. They are "Just Friends")

Makoto coughs a bit, looks away: y-yeah. I like it,

Haru: ...LETS PRACTICE KISSING

Makoto: R-RIGHT

Makoto *was* wearing her bathing suit top and swim shorts. Haru did get a chance to admire her muscular thighs in the shorts. She's a sucker for how muscular her roommate is

Just. When they get home and have to tell all their friends they're dating now and

Morgana, Joker's little brother, age 16: YOU WERENT TOGETHER???

Just. Man. How they were just naturally domestic from the start, and how naturally being affectionate comes to both of them, but differently than with their other friends, and

Makoto: hey, since we're "dating", does that mean I have to tell you I've slept with Ann?

Haru: you WHAT

Makoto: it was over a year ago! And Shiho knew and agreed to it!

Haru: you SLEPT WITH ANN TOO?!

Makoto: TOO?!

and they both laugh, cause they've known this, it's a bit they do, and Haru nestles back under Makoto's chin, and they go back to snuggling. They're in Makoto's bed in their apartment. It's later the night Haru asked, and, okay yeah they maybe did *it* again, but. Things feel weirdly right between them as they lie there together, softly talking out the details of the plan

Like. There's a reason so many people already thought they were dating, and why it sells so perfectly to Haru's family

I'm attached to this already dear lord

[rindomness]

actually. while i noodle out like three different things for ryuji roommates. dog blast

[leonawriter]

I think one of the things about P5R that I do tend to ignore is the idea that post-canon, everyone goes their separate ways and that's kinda... it, for how close the group is.

We SEE how they get back together for Strikers, so even if that's just one trip, they're just as if not more pulled together into a close-knit team because of that, no matter that Akira's been living back home, some of them have started college, and others are focused on school.

But even past that? Hell yeah I can see them sticking together somehow or other.

I go by the ever popular "Akira may take a year back home to finish high school, but the moment he's legally allowed to (or that his parents let him, depending on your characterisation of him), he's heading back to Tokyo because that's where his best memories and his good friends are." He'll find a place to stay (that is NOT the attic - although I can see it becoming a sort of home away from home, or hiding place). I can see him helping out in Leblanc regardless of whether he's going to actively start working there as a real job or if he goes for something else.

Yusuke canonically is one of the few people who's still just staying where he is, doing his own thing, rather than branching out. But then, he has his art and in many ways he's still discovering who he is after Madarame.

Futaba's home is five minutes or less from Leblanc, and she's still going to school. I can also see her sticking to Tokyo. Like, maybe in a number of years once she's graduated everything she'll go somewhere else to study? Or she'll take trips places? But her home base is Tokyo, either still living with Sojiro or finding a place to rent for herself with a roommate (in my continuity, Yusuke - I even made a post on how that'd be like once).

Ryuji said he'd get physio and all, and thing is? That'd still be in Tokyo from what I gathered. Might mean a train ride to see the others, but it's like, easy.

Haru's got her business! She's gonna be busy! But like in Strikers, she's gonna make time for her friends whenever she can. Especially since for Haru, having the Thieves around is grounding for her, and reminds her of what she wants her own business ventures to be like, and what they mean to her. So yeah they can't just call her up and hang out without warning, but she's still around.

Makoto is last seen in Royal's credits looking at places to live on her own, and sure she's got her (stupid, dumb) ideas of where to go in life, but I can see her being one of the ones who'd actively put "hang out with the others" in her diary, and make sure everyone remembers.

Ann's a tricky one? Like, she outright said she wanted to go to America to be a model. But thing is? I'm sure we all know that online/long distance friends are just as real. She'd be the sort to call up at odd hours, text the group chat at 3am Japanese time, and basically, even if she's not there in person she'd still be so present it's like she's never left.

Sumire has her gymnastics, which will last her for a good number of years. She's only fifteen! Sixteen when Royal ends! So sure, she'll be travelling around a fair bit, but just like Ann I bet she'd be putting her achievements into the group chats, and talking about how things are going, and... if anything, getting to know people better after February than she was able to while the world ending was on her shoulders. I love the idea of her becoming exercise buddies with Ryuji. (I ship it, and for more reasons than just that, but go platonic if that's not your thing).

And as for Akechi, I'm just... there's SO many ways his story can continue. Is he with the Shadow Ops? Is he working with the government? Has he got out of it all somehow? Does he stick in Tokyo, or does he travel? Does he let the others know he's alive at some point, or do they figure out themselves? Those are answers we can only (so far) answer in fanworks, but I love the idea of Akechi either finding or being found by Akira and they just move in together, a few years after canon.

So, yeah - even though the game suggests that they're all going their separate ways, it's only sad in that things are promised to not stay the same. Their lives will change, but they'll still have the same bonds with each other, and I'm sure they'd still make time for each other, no matter who does what or who ends up with who.

If It's With You Ep 1 Stray Thoughts

A second show from MBS releasing. These are some of the youngest boys we've had, and I'm excited about the three MBS releases for today.

Oh lord our protagonist is moody and he's already had sex. I'm sold.

Fascinated that that he's been having hookups with adults and seems comfortable with his sexuality.

Our romantic lead is making me think of Ja.

My roommate and I had to pause and comment on this cat's huge balls.

Interesting. Amane immediately started using Yamasuge's given name.

Oh, I really like that Amane is flirty, and that he's assessing if the cute boy who can cook is straight.

Can't fall in love if you ain't clumsy.

Our little horny boy looks like he left behind some angst.

Well well well, our boys are in the same homeroom.

Amane is a menace and I already love him.

He touched Ryuji's hair and instantly assessed him as shy.

Amane has no shame. I am obsessed. He is checking out these boys, asking for dates, and nodding approvingly at the girls.

Yes, suggestively eat the ice cream after grabbing his wrist.

I'm uncertain what happened in this exchange where Amane made sure Ryuji knew he was gay. What made Ryuji turn serious that Amane demurred to?

And the hot water heater has broken so we're already going to a public bath house together!

I am already obsessed, besties. I think this character is what @respectthepetty calls a red rascal and he is a menace. I just know @ginnymoonbeam is going to be obsessed just like me.

[phantom-thieves-official]

It must be accidental, but Ryuji's brain is scrambled eggs, and that tiny touch alone feels like electricity, like the static that courses through him when he fires off a Zionga. It must be accidental, but it makes no difference. His whole body burns. Not thinking about it! Not thinking about it! Not thinking about it! “Can I tell you something?” Akira whispers, voice low. He’s so close that Ryuji can feel his breath ghosting warm across his skin. Ryuji swallows hard around the lump in his throat. “Y-yeah, of course, dude.” Akira finally breaks eye contact, this time glancing away from Ryuji. He might be blushing now, too, but he’s a little bit sunburnt and it’s dark in the room, so it’s impossible to say for sure. “I think I’d like to kiss you,” he says, so quiet that Ryuji almost doesn’t hear it over the sound of his pulse in his ears. ----- On the school trip, Ryuji's roommate invites a girl to the room. So Ryuji crashes with Akira for the night.

I said I wouldn't write a 'there was only one bed' fic.

I lied.

[todayisafridaynight]

I don't wanna laugh at your expense but also KIND OF a funny series of events😭😭😭here's to recouping that $20...

Speaking of Ryuji... I ended up going through like 60 fucking reviews (WILL throw up if I have to read even one more) and while I'm gonna hold my tongue on all that for now, I still can't quite tell if the Ryuji thing is main story or a substory or a substory that's needed to progress... that said, apparently there are a bunch of fights with fakes that feature flashbacks, including a fake Kiryu and a fake Nishiki? Weirdly the flashbacks make me kind of wish there was a fake Mine since I'm not sure there's gonna be anything all that deep with the style change mechanic in Infinite Wealth

it can get even worse Watch This the exam i thought i was gonna have wednesday was today :))))))))))) when i say i had to fight every urge to just get up and start flipping desks :))))))

fake kiryu AND fake nishiki ???? wild....... we finally getting a boss rush mode since like... y3 omg....
