Don't forget to leave the power of friendship and a gun out for Santanael!
The graphic shows Joker and Goro Akechi in their Christmas costumes posed like a holiday greeting card. Instead of a regular Santa hat, Joker's hat is styled after Satanael's horns with pompoms at the end of each point. Goro is sitting in Joker's lap and holding Yaldabaoth's head with the gunshot hole shot through it. They both look pleased and proud of themselves. Behind them is Joker's house plant decorated in lights and the shelf with the swan boat, books, Jack Frost, and Takuto Maruki as an elf-on-the-shelf watching them. The text to their left is sectioned off in a red and cream ribbon that says "Happy Holidays from our tricksters to yours!"

Writer Zoe Bsky | mintcookie Tumblr | cookiecomics AO3 | Zoe2k8 I'm Zoe! I’ve been here for 4 years now, as Goro Akechi has broken into my brain and thrown away the key. I’m being told to say we’re both very happy with this arrangement! My all-time favourite book is "Six of Crows" by Leigh Bardugo, ft Fantasy Goro Akechi. I adore Dark Academia, Noir, Horror, and Memoirs! My preferred fanfic soup is Canon Divergence, Role Swap, Accomplice AU, and of course, Freak4Freak. Like hell it doesn’t. Goro digs split nails into chipped wood as he sags through the door frame. His breath rattles and his head fogs before vomit spews hot from his throat. Spit hangs in blood-red ribbons and the hand cradling the hole in his gut grows wet and warm. His left leg goes numb and useless as he drags it past the stench of garlic and stomach acid to his desk. Alone, past the searing in his chest, he hears them. The heavy thuds. The hushed whispers and creaking of lice-infested steps from all sides. Fumbling orders in the dark as they scurried through his home like rats. Bubbling fools. Goro couldn’t contain his grin. Sitting against the flat of his desk, he smiles at the open cross-bag crusted stiff from blood and a zipper of wires and black metal smiles back. This is how it should be. There’ll be no trial or hangman’s rope. No sagging maggot-ridden skin or blackened teeth from receding gums. No, he built this hell. It’s only fair, he burns with the rest of them. His hand doesn’t shake as he kisses his mother’s charm or when the blinking red button slides between his fingers. He did so terribly hate to be left behind. Feeling eyes on him, his fingers freeze at the hilt of the detonator as the scent of chicory coffee slips in like an ill wind. His body goes rigid as his gaze lifts to the sight of the cat-like nails and the mouth he’s kissed all his life smeared in blood. His tongue drowns in spit and copper. His vision wobbles and slides as he shakes. No, damn you, no...

#L3Librarians
Writer WillfulAbyss Bsky | WillfulAbyss Tumblr | willfulabyss I’m WillfulAbyss, and I like cute boys having bad times. Is “whump” a genre? 🙃 The rain always makes Goro’s wing-spots ache. “Lousy weather.” The barkeep of Tavern Leblanc nods toward the door as Goro closes it behind him. “Can I get you something to warm you up?” “Coffee. Any blend so long as it’s strong.” The words are forced, ground out in pain; Goro softens his tone. “Please.” When the barkeep ducks down to retrieve a jar of beans, Goro discreetly rubs his shoulder. Pain trickles like poison from the severed bone-ends pressing into flesh. So he settles his eyes and his anger on the barkeep: bespectacled, messy-haired, deceptively nondescript. Goro watches as he grinds the beans. His are nimble hands, fleeting of touch yet almost impossibly dexterous. A thief’s hands, perhaps. Goro takes a seat at the bar, clasping his hands in his lap so that they don’t wander to his back. Like the barkeep, Leblanc looks unimpressive, patchwork in a way that might be charming if Goro cared for such aesthetics. Its walls are asymmetric and asynchronous, the aged amber of maple stark where it seams against the ashy brown of new oak. There’s a leak pooling into a bucket on a booth’s tabletop. A radio spits static at the end of the bar. “House blend.” The barkeep sets a steaming mug on the counter. His eyes are sharp behind his glasses as he watches Goro take his first sip. “It’s delicious.” Somehow, it isn’t a lie. “May I know my barista’s name?” The barkeep’s eyes crinkle as he smiles. “Ren. Glad you like it.”

Let's go, lesbians! Where to? Well, with our next writer @therapist-solarist.bsky.social at the helm, we know we're headed to a great story!

#L3Librarians
Writer Therapist Solarist Twitter | _starlightsky AO3 | therapist-solarist Carrd | therapist-solarist.carrd.co Hello Shuakeshu nation! I'm TS and have been here since vanilla released back in 2017. Have loved the game ever since! My favorite book is Bunny by Mona Awad, favorite books genre is horror fiction and my all time favorite fanfic trope is enemy to lovers. So you can see why I like writing about shuakeshu. “...I know we never say what we’re really thinking but can I be brutally honest for once?” He could feel the way Goro stiffened under his hold. “Go ahead.” “I don’t want to go today.” A sharp inhale from Goro’s end urged him to continue. “Not because I agree with Maruki—I don’t think this is right. I just— it’s not fair for anyone. It’s certainly not fair to you.” The light weight on his back moved to his shoulders as Goro gripped him, his nails digging in as he pulled Ren from his neck and forced him to sit up more. He let his own arms fall around Goro’s waist in a loose hold. “Ren Amamiya, if you're considering leaving me in this reality I will never talk to you again. I don’t care if you think it’s better—I’ll go fight Maruki myself.” Ren didn’t let him finish, he let his hands come up to grip Goro’s jacket on both sides and prayed that this would get his feelings through. He didn’t know how else to express just how in love he’d been with him from the moment they’d met. It was reckless and cruel to them both but he needed Goro to understand just how heartbroken he was about their imminent future at this exact moment. He leans in and kisses him hard.

#L3Librarians
Writer Skye Bsky| nilikhangdiwa Twitter| nilikhangdiwa AO3| nilikhangdiwa Hey, gang! I'm Skye, but some people also call me Lance. I named myself after Lancelot du Lac. No, not the actual canonical guy. Yes, from some anime boy version, how did you know? :0 I'm a sucker for cool worldbuilding, but I've also got a penchant for found family, hurt/comfort, and slice of life! I'll read mostly any genre as long as it's written well! You may therefore be unsurprised that I like P5. Go figure. :p On a particularly quiet day in the middle of August, there’s no one around but himself. Soft music wafts from the small speaker at the end of the counter, and Ren busies himself with a required reading for his coursework. Books are another thing that he’s taken a liking to, for various reasons – chief of those being that black-and-white books look the same even when the colors are faded. The sound of a chiming bell alerts Ren to the arrival of a new customer. He raises his eyes to greet them, and he comes face to face with bright, jazzy crimson. “I see this place hasn’t changed,” Akechi Goro says mildly, sliding into a seat—his seat—like it’s 2016 and things are okay and he hasn’t caused Ren’s world to burst into pops of color for the second time. When Ren turns away to compose himself, everything is as it was years ago. The burnt umber of the floorboards and the dusty blue of the refrigerator and the deep red of Sayuri’s shirt all jump out at him, and he wonders if it was always this bright, always this dazzling. When he raises his hand to a jar of coffee beans, he sees every blue-green vein under his skin, details that tend to get lost and muddied when things fade to gray. You’re alive, is what Ren almost says, though he doesn’t, because Akechi would definitely be an ass about him ‘stating the obvious’ or whatever. It’s not like this conversation was great the first time around, words spoken amidst empty gray washing machines in the little laundromat across the street..

Writer Kimmi Bsky | cowboycorekimmi Tumblr | cowboycorekimmi AO3 | cowboycorekimmi hi there!! i'm kimmi, i'm 28 years old and i'm a professional cook being piloted by a rat-sized akechi goro at all times (shhhh don't let my boss know)!! i started writing when i was 13 years old, writing fanfic by hand with gel pens while i spent my school breaks in the library, and nowadays i write in back pages of my work planner during slow shifts. my favorite book series is the hunger games, i love reading action and adventure as well as murder mysteries, and i can't really pick a favorite fic trope lmao “I see something in the corner,” Ren announced to the team, to everyone’s collective horror, without breaking eye contact with the spectre. Akechi scoffed. “Yeah, it’s a bunch of cobwebs. This place is overrun with spiders,” he mocked. “Biggest fucking spider I’ve ever seen, then,” Ren wittily replied, being rewarded with a breathy laugh from Akechi. He didn’t have time to bask in the sunlight because the ghost started hissing more aggressively, certainly offended. “Oh, hey, sorry, I know you’re not a spider, sorry…” He raised his hands apologetically. It settled back in the corner. “Okay, let’s try extracting something from this… person.” “Are you unsure if it is a person? What else would it be?” Ren gave it a hard look. It was definitely a person, at some point or the other. It didn’t feel demonic even if it looked a bit like one, yet whatever emotion or terrible act done to it or by it kept it tethered to their realm, has stripped it of its humanity and taken front stage on what it was at that time. “I don’t wanna assume its gender, Akechi, come on,” Ren quipped, giving him a teasing look. “Whatever you say.” Akechi rolled his eyes to fight off the smile curling on his lips. “Now, how do we proceed?”

#L3Librarians
Writer Ren_Saxon AO3 | Ren_Saxon Hi, I'm Ren, I've been writing for Persona for almost 5 years and how could I not, it's got everything I love: Enemies to Lovers, Fantasy, Found Family, "It's only one bed and it's in a shitty attic, propped up on milk crates", Celebrity/Fan, it's just. Beautiful. Ryuji's best man speech was sweet. It was full of anecdotes he really shouldn't share, and he got stomped on his foot by Makoto for trying to share them anyway, then shared them anyway, much to everyone's mix of exasperated moans and amusement. Akira, already lightly tipsy, just laughed harder and harder at every comment. Even Akechi couldn't help the grin growing on his face, his gloved hand loosely inside his husband's for the entire time. “No, but really,” Ryuji was just saying. “Back then, we all were slowly getting behind the whole 'he's a deadly assassin who murdered two of our parents' thing.” “Ryuji, for God's sake, at least lower your voice,” Makoto hissed, but Ryuji – also incredibly tipsy – ignored her. “And we were all meeting in that stuffy little room wondering how to contact him and know what Akira said? Remember what he said, everyone?” Akechi turned to Akira, who grinned back at him and kissed the tip of his nose softly, ignoring his husband's grimace. “He said, 'I have his number, actually.'. Makoto was all like, trying to find out how to get his number from Sae without much of a fuzz and just like that. Our leader announced to the whole room of confused Phantom Thieves-” – “Ryuji!” Makoto sighed, tone completely exasperated now – “... that he had his number all along and apparently went on several dates with him behind our backs the entire time?” “Morgana knew,” Akira informed him between laughter. “It wasn't behind your backs, I just... kept it to myself. You'd have made fun of me for being a nerd if you heard about our spicy aquarium dates.” “I got tickets from a colle–” “Ohhhh, you're really sticking to that story, honey?”

#L3Librarians
Writer Salex Bsky | salexectria AO3 | salexectria I’ve spent over 10 years collecting readers’ tears to fuel my writing, and have no plans of stopping. Some of my favorite tropes to write include hurt/comfort & fantasy and sci-fi AUs! These genres are also my favorite to read in fanfic and original works, following some of the best writing advice to read the genres you want to write! Some of my favorite novels include Leviathan Wakes (Expanse Series), Uprooted, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and Six of Crows. “I’m not just grieving over you,” Akira said with a sniff, his voice beginning to crack, “I-I’m grieving over the people we were together when all pretenses dropped that died in February. I’m grieving over the way you made me feel, and—and how I won't ever feel that way again. I’m grieving over the conversations we’ll never have, the closure we’ll never get from all the shit we survived, the apology I’ll never get and never give from all the harm we did to each other. I’m grieving over everything we could have been and will never get to be. “You were always special to me, Goro.” His given name rolled easily off his tongue this time, perhaps even easier than the tears rolling down his face. “And always will be. I would have told you this, over and over and over again—as many times as you needed to hear it, in as many ways as I could so that you’d believe me.” The stuttering breath he took did nothing to calm his nerves, but it was now or never. “I’ve never been in love before, but the borrowed time we spent together in January felt an awful lot like what I’d hoped the beginning of love to be,” Akira confessed, his vision blurring Akechi into a kaleidoscope of bleeding colors. With his free hand, he roughly wiped his face. “I’m so sorry it wasn’t enough.”

My favorite book is No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai partially because it reminds me of the anime Bungou Stray Dogs and the anime character Dazai but also because I enjoy older Japanese literature! It's hard to read mostly due to its contents being not very joyful but it's still my favorite book because of how realiTic the portrayal of mental illness is written ^_^. My favorite book genre is definitely horrors, mysteries, psychological horrors [Suzoscissors’ sample art is an illustration of the Royal Trio (Joker, Goro Akechi and Sumire Yoshizwa) together on a train ride. Joker is sleeping, and sitting across from him is Sumire snapping a picture of Goro happily, and Goro has his arms crossed, facing her.

#L3Librarians
Writer Katie Bsky | phantomhearts AO3 | Phantom_Hearts Hi, I'm Katie, a struggling biology PhD candidate by day and fanfic writer by night. I've been a Persona fan since I first played 4 on the Vita in high school, and I've been writing and publishing fic for about five years now! I'm a big fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and intrigue, with one of my favorite books being the manga Liar Game (I can't wait for the anime!). When writing fanfic though I love canon-compliant angst and a good enemies to lovers story! Akechi may not have recognized him earlier, but even the hands of time can’t hide him from Akechi this close. The instant Akechi recognizes him, he reacts in the most characteristic way possible—violently. With a click, Akechi’s seatbelt rockets off his body. He makes a move for the door, but Amamiya beats him to it, holding its lock down. Akechi glowers, pointedly staring at the window as if he intends to break out. Feeling responsible for the conflict, Maruki throws his hands up in a gesture of peace. “I assure you that I mean no harm, Akechi-kun.” “Shove that sentiment up your ass,” Akechi snarls, the smell of alcohol heavy on his breath. Maruki knows that he has no chance of resolving the situation. Amamiya, however, is more than capable of soothing Akechi. He takes off both their gloves so that he can reassuringly thumb the back of Akechi’s hand and presses a tender kiss to his lips. Akechi’s frown neutralizes, then gives way to the smallest and subtlest but undeniably there smile Maruki’s ever seen. Amamiya gently laughs at the change in his attitude and whispers something in Akechi’s ear. The scene before him is so intimate that Maruki feels like a voyeur. He fixes his gaze on his steering wheel, mindlessly tapping along its smooth surface as he waits. An expectant cough breaks Maruki out of his monotony. He turns back to see Amamiya nudging Akechi. Akechi scoffs, looking out the window instead of forward...

#L3Librarians
Writer KillC0mmand Tumblr | one-way-dream Twitter | KILLC0MMAND AO3 | OceanPalace HELLO!!!! i'm tee!! :D i'm delighted to be a part of this writer's zine alongside so many brilliant creators! my favourite book is actually the very first one i read cover to cover in one night (12yo tee's first all-nighter!) called "ashes" by ilsa j. bick (2012). it also introduced me to my fav book genre; post-apocalyptic fiction, but zombies aren't my focus! i love to see love persevere in a dystopian, difficult, often unkind world—and i look for similar things in fics too! character studies are wonderful, but i'll savour just about anything that's lovingly made! As breathtaking as the view is in the open air, the bite of early autumn nearly stings his dry eyes to tears. Watery or not, the way Akira’s shoulders hunch up to brush the bottom of his earlobes in a futile attempt to retain a scrap of warmth catches in his peripheral, as well as the way his boyfriend still refuses to meet his gaze. A playful grin sets his courage alight as he gently nudges Akira with his elbow, shuffling close enough to share body heat. “Hey. You’re going to catch a cold, idiot.” Akira finally turns to him with a hint of surprise etched in the curve of his raised eyebrows, although his rebuttal doesn’t get a chance to be heard before Goro softly tuts and harshly yanks the other’s hood on, intentionally using a little more force than needed, until Akira stumbles and falls forward into a kiss. It’s comforting and safe and warm – he’s always warm, Goro’s very own home away from home. Yet, Akira Kurusu is not his ‘other half’, because Goro finally knows after years of loathing and self-sacrifice that he is already a whole man; in the way that a planet is whole, the way that they are two newborn stars that revolve around each other in a binary system, drawn to each others’ gravity and burning with an unmatched intensity no one could ever hope to extinguish...

Writer Saikowrites Bsky | saikolikes Tumblr | saikolikes AO3 | saikowrites I've been dreaming of a writer-focused JokerxCrow anthology for a while now, and I can't believe I'm helping make this zine a reality. I'm so hyped!! Together with my long P5 fujo career (6 years and counting), I'm also a creative professional and an avid fantasy reader of all genres. You will see me champion The Locked Tomb and the Broken Earth cycles, but another formative work for me was His Dark Materials. My fanfic jam lies with Time Traveling, All Things Accomplices, Character Studies, and especially Angst. Like the scab of a still-healing scratch, like an obnoxious round pimple on his chin or cheek, like a hangnail stinging every time he moves or brushes his fingers, Akira Kurusu grates on Goro’s nerves in a way that makes the palms of his hands itch with the urge to act. It’s visceral, bitter, and hazy but it involves some kind of movement, some kinetic force at play, Goro is sure. Akira, who barely ever played billiards yet picked up enough skill to defeat him right-handed in a matter of months; Akira, who nonchalantly dragged him into a bathroom and messed with his hair and always tags along no matter what Goro brings up; Akira, who brightens and stands straighter like a houseplant finally being granted the mercy of water each time he enters the road of Penguin Sniper and finds Goro waiting at the usual spot. Akira, who is wiping clean the last cups of the day under the soft lights of Leblanc, wrapped in his moss-green apron and with a pinch hardening his gaze as a tough spot refuses to come off. Goro makes the residual coffee at the bottom of his cup swirl before drinking it. The extra bitter taste of the last remaining shot, by now gone lukewarm, coats his tongue and slides down his throat. Billiards matches weren’t enough. Chess games weren’t enough; nor idle discussions about washed-out philosophy concepts...
