    Summary

    The guard had mentioned the name of the cafe, too. Laughed over it. He'd called it Leblanc, and Akira had grabbed at the name of the place that could have been his home, the place that represents the difference between having freedom and not, and keeps it tucked in close to him. For long nights in a dorm-cell with no windows, and for moments like this when he desperately wants to be anywhere else.

    Akira Kurusu is arrested for assault. When his proposed probation falls through, he's locked up for the year instead.

    And elsewhere in Tokyo, in a world that Akira knows nothing of at all, someone called Joker teaches a group of Phantom Thieves how to change a heart.

    Summary

    "Dear Miss Summers,

    Thank you for your application to the Littleroot Young Champions' Initiative. Eager new trainers like yourself are what make the future of Hoenn bright! Regrettably, our supply of starter Pokémon is limited, and so only a handful of applicants can be selected for this program. Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three…"

    A dull ringing rose in her ears. She scanned and re-scanned the last sentence, as though staring at it would make it change, but it still said the same thing: "Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three starter Pokémon."

    Well, there it was, the answer spelled out in black and white. She wasn't good enough, and that was that.

    ---

    Hayley Summers is determined to become a champion. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokémon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of ecoterrorists as her personal adversaries, but—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal.

    Summary

    Dazai had been keeping a secret from everyone for five years. Well, multiple secrets. But it was fine, because he had no intention of letting anyone in on those secrets. The past was in the past.

    Until the past turned up at his door wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt.

    Summary

    At age fourteen, Kurusu Akira kills the only cognitive psientist to object to Shido’s methods under the latter’s orders. His hand doesn’t tremble as he pulls the trigger, but his heart breaks. Still, it’s worth it. It’s the first step towards freedom, and more importantly, his revenge.

    Two years later, cursed child Akechi Goro is caught shoplifting, and after a brief chase gets slammed into the pavement by three police officers double his size. The only reason he can't slip out of their grasp is because he hasn't eaten in three days. It earns him a one-way ticket to Tokyo.

    (Or, Akechi leads the Phantom Thieves of Hearts while Akira is the Detective Prince. Despite that change, however, Crow is still Crow, and Joker is still Joker.)

    Summary

    When her younger sister was stolen away all those years ago, Akutagawa vowed that she would do anything to get her back.

    She just never could have imagined that would involve being married to a giant, man-eating tiger. But when the Port Mafia came to her with a highly unusual proposal, there was no way Akutagawa was going to pass this chance up, even if it did mean getting married to the mysterious White Reaper. She only had to stay married to the beast for three months, and then Akutagawa would get her sister back.

    But after the wedding, it isn't a tiger that comes to Akutagawa's bed at night. It's a girl.
