12. Case Closed

(Re my idea of fics I will never get to)

Okay so this was always meant to be my first multichaptered fic, but clearly the muse had other plans and I also haven’t really planned this one out fully. It’s literally just the title and a vague idea. Basically it’s an AU and somehow Shiho keeps ending up at every crime scene Shinichi is at, like it’s super ridiculous how it keeps happening. So let’s just try to plot it now:

• Shinichi is pretty established as a high school detective just as in canon, meanwhile Shiho is still stuck in the Black Organization (except since this is my verse they probably aren’t as scary cause I’m not intimidating at all, but they still suck)

• The first case she stumbles on made her suspicious to him, but her quickly rules her out and correctly deduces who the actual culprit is. Neither of them think much of it and move on with their lives

• but then it happens again. She somehow winds up at yet another crime scene and is again suspicious, which of course gets him interested. But once again she had nothing to do with it so he rules her out and the case is solved. And guess what since the number three is my bias, it happens again. Shocker right?

• at this point they’re both intrigued cause what are the odds that they both keep winding up in places and people start dying? (Oh! I just had an idea we’ll get to it!)

• because I really don’t write enough verses where Akemi is alive, she is here! But she’s gone missing, but she still sends messages to Shiho every now and then. But she knows something is wrong. She has no one to turn to except… she does keep bumping into a detective who seems to be competent

• of course to keep the streak they keep meeting at crime scenes where she tries to ask him for help but since they’re always in the middle of a case it’s kinda hard and she’s also not sure she can trust him 100% yet. He does sense she needs help but again she keeps certain information to herself which makes it difficult

• Akemi is silent for like a whole week? Maybe more and it freaks Shiho out so she has no choice but to reach out to Shinichi (by now they’re kinda friends. It’s complicated okay) and he immediately offers his assistance but again they keep getting roped into other cases

• circling back to where I said I had an idea. Okay major spoiler alert if I do end up going this route but… let’s say that Shiho was working to create a drug that’s supposed to help people but it goes wrong and becomes the aptx instead except instead of shrinking it just kills people. She of course discards the failed prototype knowing how dangerous it is, but someone finds out and starts using it as a hit man service of sorts (Loves it’s so easy to decide who would do this but let’s pretend we don’t know since the otp hasn’t figured it out yet)

• the next few cases revolve around this where the COD is really weird… like yes there are stab wounds/ gsw/ other things but something’s off like they shouldn’t have been fatal? But the prime suspects confess to the crimes and using the weapon so there’s nothing they can really do…

• Akemi finally messages Shiho but is very cryptic and tells her to be careful and not to worry. Of course this makes her super worried so Shinichi goes with her to try and find her sister

• Loves I am doing everything I can to ignore canon in this fic so of course Shuichi makes an appearance and is definitely with Akemi keeping her safe. But I also probably won’t focus on that cause clearly my otp still owns me *the deepest of sighs

• big reveal time, guess what the Black Organization is evil and there are moles including the FBI who are trying to bring it down! Which is great except… Shiho learns she’s kinda involved since she made the drug which of course sends her into a spiral. Like wow, so I’ve just been evil this whole time? Great.

• everyone of course tells her she’s not at fault and she eventually realizes she has to get her shit together if she wants to help end this. Listen as much as I love soft otp moments, I also really love everyone supporting my queen

• the final showdown! Which I’m totally gonna gloss over here cause it’s definitely the part I’m the worst at writing. Basically shit happens with some close calls but nothing terrible goes wrong (are we surprised? I’m creating this verse. And I’ve had my fill of angst with some other ideas so we’re not dealing with it here)

• cue cliché ending with a cliché last line of Case Closed cause I am a dork. But basically everyone is alive and fine and my otp gets together okay. Something along the lines of him asking her to stay with him forever to help with cases of course… which she gets annoyed at but well… it’s kinda hard to say no when she wants to say yes
