    "You're bleeding," Ren said.

    Akechi's gaze grew scathing. "Are you going to do something about it?"

    Bookmarker's Notes

    the way they communicate, or lack thereof, is so well-written here. all at once, they're dancing around the issue, saying what they don't mean, having a secret conversation through looks and unsaid words alone. i love when they talk about something while meaning something else. and maybe anyone else would take the other's words at face value, but these two understand each other so well and see through each other so much to the point they just Know. it's very well executed in my opinion

    Summary

    Ren's been different ever since he showed up again after New Year's—blowing off Goro's texts, acting like they're practically strangers. Goro isn't sure what made Ren finally accept one of his invitations to Jazz Jin, but it doesn't matter. Goro isn't the type to waste a second chance, and he doesn't intend to let this one slip through his fingers.

    really wonderful read. goro's dread and anxiety was palpable, it was really good. somehow, despite their roles being swapped, they felt scarily in character as well. i admired that a lot. i think it makes this a far more fascinating fic than it would be if their characters were shifted to fit their roles. i loved reading this so much

    Summary

    And Goro thinks: This isn’t Kurusu. Kurusu is gone. This doll you created isn’t him—and if you think I’ll be won over by you dangling it in front of me, you truly know nothing about me.

     

    It's January, and Maruki's given everyone what he thinks he wants. But Goro never wanted Akira Kurusu like this.

    OH FUCUUKKGKKGKKCJG
    no words can describe how painful and fucking brilliant this is. honestly that ending twist got me so bad. it is so in character for akira to know goro so well that he'd be able to pretend to be something goro would never accept. and if it weren't for maruki realising it right at the end, he would've kept up the charade til the very end, wouldn't he? aaa wow wow wow!!! this concept of shuake roleswap is so so good. they handle each other's roles so well while still remaining in character.
    i feel extremely blessed to have read this today wow.... like maybe top 10 fics ever

    Summary

    Goro glares at him. It’s such a blatantly illegal move that he doesn’t even feel the need to comment on it. He’s just going to wait until he puts the pieces back where they belong.

    Instead, Akira flashes a shit-eating grin. “New rules. Friendly fire’s on.”

    Or: Akira invites Goro to a game of chess. His rival has a few new rules in mind, but Goro refuses to back down from a challenge.

    actually so damn funny it's not fair. i don't think i'm ever going to recover from the phrase "horses are immune to landmines" oh my god. im no better than akira because goro's anger is genuinely so fucking amusing.
    but the funnies aside, goodness you can really feel it whenever goro catches himself having a little Too much fun, or seeing akira a little Too happy and is overwhelmed with fear at the chance of being sentenced to hell in maruki's reality because akira can't bear to part with him. sigh. oh man. they put angst in my funny chess ragebait fic
