Our next writer truly puts the trans in transformative works, and we can't wait to see what @chessgale.bsky.social has in store for these two!

#L3Librarians
Writer Gale Bsky | chessgale AO3 | dabblingdilettante I'm Gale, a huge fan of books like Lolita or We Have Always Lived In The Castle. I love when abuse is made into a deep sense of horror and I adore stifling forms of forced codependency! When it comes to AkeShuAke, though, I also love how much variety people put into the complexity of their relationship -- for both the best of them and the worst of them. “They were ravens,” Kurusu repeated. “Not crows.” “I’m sorry?” “Ravens are bigger,” they said. There was a strange quality to their words, as though spoken with a swollen tongue. “Fluffy. Fuwafuwa.” “I see,” she said. “Not all corvids are crows,” they went on. Giving her one of their most terrible grins, they winced the moment after from the throb of using their facial muscles. “You’ve just got a bias.” She withheld the urge to jab a finger into their gut. “And yet you were able to pick up on those special little details as they pecked out your eyes.” “So you’re admitting I beat you on that?” Late, terribly late, her palm was against the opposite side of their face, no longer catching the thinned blood as it dripped from their chin to their chest. Akechi did not do so on purpose; she hadn’t personally placed her hand there, and yet it was. Worst of all, she couldn’t stare directly into their eyes to say – “No,” she murmured. “I am saying you are obsessed with me.”

Up next for our merch artists is Krllksl! Their art beautifully captures the moments between these two, and we can't wait to be taken through them!

#L3Librarians
Merch Artist Twitter | krllksl Tumblr | krllksl Instagram | krllksl Krllksl Hi!!! I just want to say that everyone involved in this project is super talented, and I'm incredibly happy to be a part of it. If this were my younger self, I'd say I love good science fiction, but now, as I write this, I realize that all my favorite works are actually written completely differently, and that's exactly what I like about them. Never be afraid to try something new! [Krllksl’s sample art is a shot of Joker and Akechi backstage for the recent Persona 5 Big Band Concert, and they are dressed in the event’s outfits. Akechi is sitting holding a slip of paper, and Joker is standing over him with his instrument in one hand and pointing at the paper with the other.]

This town's big enough for the the two of us. We've wrangled up some tags since applications began, so please review or edit your application accordingly! See below for tips to keep in mind for your portfolio! ⁀➷
The graphic is in full greyscale. The art features a western/cowboy AU with Joker on horseback (Morgana is his horse) greeting Goro Akechi. Joker is leaning down with his hands holding Goro’s shoulder and the top of his hat, and Goro is holding his arm in return. They’re happy to see each other, though Morgana is giving them a side-eye. The background displays a field by hillside with the blazing sun peeking over. Art by: ghostsjogging. The text wrapped in a lasso reads: Contributor Applications Spot Art Apps close Dec 5th One Week left to apply for spot art In the top right corner are Goro, Morgana and Joker; Goro and Joker are in their western attire, and Morgana is a horse, as referenced in the art.

Our next writer is Corone! A purveyor of dialogue and mystery stories—we expect his exploration of themes to hook you!

#L3Librarians
Writer Corone Tumblr | argentsunshine AO3 | argentsunshine Hello! My name is Corone and I'm a guy who writes dialogue and occasionally accidentally finds myself writing things to accompany said dialogue. I am in an enduring and devoted partnership with my beautiful wife the em dash. All else is secondary. My favourite genre is mystery, and my favourite book of the ones I've read recently enough to remember is Gideon the Ninth. My favourite type of fic to read or write are missing scenes or extensions of canon, usually digging into a theme or relationship that didn't get enough attention in canon. “So,” Akira says. “You’re alive.” “I’ve noticed,” Akechi replies. He still wears gloves, Akira notices. His hair is longer, and he’s wearing it tied back. Akira’s pretty sure Akechi hadn’t grown — he’d seen the brief frown flick across his face when he’d noticed Akira was taller than him now, an almost childish expression on the features of his adult face. Akira has to pinch himself, again, to convince himself he’s still not dreaming. That Goro Akechi — a living, breathing, twenty-eight-year-old, not the teenage ghost that’s been haunting Akira’s darkest moments for ten years — is really in front of him. “I missed you,” Akira says, because I mourned you longer than I knew you and I still wasn’t over it feels a bit too forward. “I thought you’d be better off without me.” Akechi takes a sip of his drink — some kind of soda, even though everyone else in the bar seems to be holding a cocktail glass or sharing a bottle of wine. “And I knew you’d never bring yourself to turn me down if I contacted you, so I decided to leave things as they were.” “Mhm.” Did that mean he would vanish again after this? Would that be worse than never knowing the truth? He could spend the rest of their life just asking Akechi every question in his head right now, but instead, he just stares at him, willing him not to turn translucent.

Our next writer is Kaetor! A juggler of many talents, Jester's art has been Chronicled in zines before, but this time around, their writing takes the stage!

#L3Librarians
Writer Kaetor Tumblr | freakcliff AO3 | kaetor Hello! My name is Jester, and when I'm not writing I like to think about writing, add song lyrics to my fanfic title document, imagine that I will write soon, and reblog writer asks games to tumblr that I also won't answer. I love books of all types, but there's a special place in my heart for the Chronicles of Narnia (Prince Caspian is my favorite), Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, and the Six of Crows duology. Fics wise, I love a good AU with way too much thought put into it. You can catch me on ao3 writing soulmate aus with too much time dedicated to worldbuilding. “Well?” Akechi asks. “Did you honestly think we had a chance?” It isn’t until a few seconds of uncharacteristic silence that Akira realizes he actually expects an answer to the question. Did they? Do they? Have a chance? He’s never really thought about it like that, so, “No?” Wait ― no. Wrong answer. “Yes? I don’t know.” Akechi scoffs. “Really? Some fucking leader you are, unable to even―” “Shut up,” Akira tells him. “You all thought you were such hot shit, didn’t you?” he sneers, ignoring Akira. “So sure you could change the world, make a difference where no one else could!” He laughs, sharp as broken glass. “But it was all nothing! Pointless! Just a bunch of kids stumbling in the dark and deluded into thinking they could change things! Honestly―” “Shut up ,” Akira says, with the same force he uses against enemy shadows and palace rulers high on their own power, because he can’t come up with a proper argument yet, but he knows that Akechi is fucking wrong, saying all this shit about the thieves because he can’t admit that he was right there― It takes Akira a second to realize that Akechi has actually shut up. Huh.

The second illustration shows them after the bath with Akechi still pleasantly happy in his towel and Joker passed out on the floor naked with a horrified Morgana leaning out of his schoolbag over him.]

Our next writer is Ashe! Her story will be the perfect companion as you cozy near the hearth (lovingly lit by your local dragon)!

#L3Librarians
Writer Ashe Tumblr | ashethehedgehog Twitter | emileeashe AO3 | ashethehedgehog Hi I'm Ashe! I'm a sucker for fun fantasy worldbuilding and dragons! AUs and angst are my bread and butter. My fav book would have to be The Secret of Dragonhome by John Peel, a classic! Joker had just enough time to brace his hands in front of him before Goro impacted with him, slamming them both into the far wall. "Oof!" Joker hissed, his head hitting against the wall with a loud crack. If Goro had been more aware of himself, he would have winced, but instead his body swelled with pleasure to hurt hurt hurt. "Crow! Hold on!" Joker gritted his teeth, arms keeping Goro at length. Goro's claws were inches from his face, trying their best to gouge out those beautiful features. One good swipe, and he could break that nose, rip a gash in his cheek that his doctor would have to spend ages stitching up. He could make Joker hurt, make him cry, make him bleed and- "Akechi. I'm sorry." Goro's body stilled, muscles braced but frozen. Through his mad haze, he could make out the despondent look on Joker's face. His eyes burnt with that same flame Goro was ever drawn to. Piercing straight through Goro's crazed state to pin him in place. He panted heavily, unable to move, to stop himself nor continue. "You're hurting, aren't you?" Joker said softly. “I didn't realise. You need to let out your frustrations, don't you?" “...” Goro pressed his lips into a line, willing his muscles to relax. The power was still humming through him, and he didn't feel nearly as satisfied. There were still reserves to burn, and given how uneasy he felt, and how long it had been since he could last let loose, he didn't like Joker's chances if he stuck around. He had to scare him off. Before he did something he would regret. "Fuck off!" Goro roared. Joker flinched, clearly not expecting the response so loud in his face "Akechi-" "Get out of here before I fucking kill you," Goro seethed..

Up next for our writers is Dragonthinks! With her library-worth knowledge of fantasy books, we're thrilled to have KT's story on our shelves!

#L3Librarians
Writer Dragonthinks AO3 | dragonthinks vgen | dragonthinks Hiii!! I'm KT and I LOVE READING!!! My absolute favorite book HAS to be Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett-- it's a beautiful, touching exploration of mortality & morality, with a healthy dash of goofy absurdism. A very close tie has to be The Thirty Names Of Night by Zeyn Joukhadar: a vivid exploration of a Syrian trans man's quest to rediscover his mother's life story! As for my favorite genre, I adore fantasy of all kinds!! Fun fact: I've read 47 books so far this year, most of them from my local libraries :) Did you know they have yuri at the library now. Did you know th-- The guilt begins as a twinge in Akira’s hipbone, like something’s coiling around it and exploring the top of his femur. It snakes up through his innards and writhes hot-cold-hot up through his spinal cord. By the time he has eaten the leftover curry he’d stashed in the fridge for moments like these he could fly with the force of it tugging him upwards, saying look, look what you did, look what you did wrong. More importantly, though: he has to go to work. He mentally allots the extra hours between now and his shift for distractions, because if he has to be left alone with his thoughts for one more minute he’s going to scream. When he heads out to the living room he throws on his bag and jacket with more speed than strictly necessary. “I’m heading out,” he calls over his shoulder, but when Goro is silent he turns to look. Goro, still on the couch, looks at him sidelong. “I love you.” It feels like a promise; it feels like a threat. Goro has a habit of saving I love yous like they’re the last box of a beloved cookie flavor, doomed to go out of stock in a week: savored, hoarded, given only as a special gift. Akira feels like it means something that he’s pulled one out now, of all times. “I love you,” he replies, taking one from his own stock and crushing it between his teeth.

Merch Artist Twitter | itslamikisu Tumblr | lamikisu Instagram | itslamikisu Itslamikisu Hi, my name's Lami, and I'm a multifandom artist who is currently into Persona 5 and its characters, especially fandom favourites, such as Joker and Akechi. I have put them in other media I enjoy, such as Evangelion and Star Wars, and it does bring me joy exploring how they would interact in these AUs. Consequently, I am quite fond of reading fanfiction that places these two in media that I am familiar with. I am excited to take part in this project and wish everyone good luck!

Our next writer is Nemu! We've consulted the cards, and they agree you have much to look forward to!

#L3Librarians
Writer Nemu A very sleepy jellyfish says hello. Much like a jellyfish, I do not have a brain. Despite this, I enjoy the occasional dark, atmospheric tale with the kinds of amoral characters you love to hate. My goal this year is to finally finish <House of Leaves>. Probably. The crooked door to their new home hangs wide open. It’s too dark to see beyond the genkan, even with the sun baring down so hard Goro can feel the sweat pooling at her back. It looks kind of like a mouth, a more childish part of Goro thinks. With how long it had been abandoned, how much must it have hungered, desperate for anyone, anything to ease the pain of that all-encompassing emptiness? “Nice place,” Akira says. She bounces on the balls of her feet, a feeble attempt to shift the weight of the knickknack box she’d clearly overpacked (despite Goro’s attempts to warn her). “Surprised you got it for so cheap.” From any other mouth, Goro would assume sarcasm. From Akira? Goro knows she means it. Objectively, she’s right. It is a nice place. Big. Spacious. Two stories. Rooms enough for Akira and Goro to have a space of their own, and then some. There’s even a lawn. Goro’s never had a lawn. Too many years in crowded cities in shitty apartments—there’s barely enough space to breathe, let alone enjoy such a luxury as a slice of nature all to your own. She can already hear Akira rambling about setting up a garden. “Someone died here,” Goro says. “The realtor was apparently having a hard time getting it off the market. Had to sell at a loss.” Somewhere in the backyard, a tree branch cracks under the weight of itself, falling to the earth with a heavy thunk. “That’s so....” Akira shudders at her side, finally coming down flat on her heels—the last of her nervous energy expelled like a sigh. “Sad.” Sad. Goro guesses that’s one word for it.
