Rage's Fanfiction

A blog for some weirdo to stash their fanfics. My main fandoms are Pokemon, Professor Layton, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Legend of Zelda, RWBY, Persona, Naruto, and a few others. Everything I write is either pure fluff or incredibly depressing. You get used to it. Currently obsessed with: Persona. They/them.

Heat Death of the Universe

He’s nine years old, it’s the middle of July, and some politician or something just donated five brand new bikes to the orphanage.

Shinji manages to shoulder his way past the other kids and snag one, and he rides down to the riverbank with Aki teetering on the pegs and Miki draped across the handlebars, all three whooping and hollering like they’re on top of the whole damn world.

The memory blurs and skips like a record, the way that old memories do, and finds him laying on the grass beside the river, chewing on the wood of an empty popsicle stick. Behind him, Aki discards the bike on its side to chase Miki down the hill, threatening to get chocolate fingerprints all over the new shirt she got for her birthday.

Shinji is an asshole no matter his age, so he waits patiently, deceptively relaxed, until they pass by him and he can lunge at them both. All three fall down the hill and into the river.

They bike back home sopping wet and hysterical with laughter, and Shinji doesn’t even care that Ishikawa-san chews him out big time. Extra chores don’t matter, he thinks as he halfheartedly tidies up the common area. The memory of Aki’s squawk and Miki’s screech as they tumble into the river will last forever.

Fandom: Persona 3 Characters: Aragaki Shinjiro, Sanada Akihiko, Kirijo Mitsuru, Sanada Miki Summary: There are holes in his chest, and Aki is cradling his dying body, and, as he looks at the sickly green sky, Shinjiro remembers: He's nine years old. It's the middle of July. Word Count: ~3,000 Notes: Persona 3 spoilers. Also TW it's fucking sad. I made myself depressed writing this so now all of you must also suffer <3

Always Wanna Play (But You Never Wanna Lose) - Persona 3 fanfiction

“Minato!” Akihiko shouted, making a beeline for his downed comrade, and Minato’s head snapped up. “Get behind―” Several things happened all at once. Yukari said something faintly over the comms. Akihiko yanked his Evoker out of its holster. Minato met his eyes. Relief washed over Minato’s face. Then the Shadow’s arm twisted and became suddenly longer; it expanded with a horrid crunching sound, shooting forward like a javelin, its fingers melding together into some sort of spearhead, rocketing forward― ―piercing through Minato’s back― ―and emerging, bloodied, from the other side of his chest.

Fandom: Persona 3 Ship: Could be read as AkiMina or as gen Characters: Sanada Akihiko, Arisato Minato, Takeba Yukari, Iori Junpei, Kirijo Mitsuru Summary: Minato is fatally injured during a Tartarus run. Akihiko and the others scramble to keep him alive. Word Count: ~15,000 Notes: Bad Things Happen Bingo prompt: stabbed. Some blood and mild gore here, so tread carefully!

System Error - Persona 3 fanfiction

Something entered through the plug at the base of her neck, and― > SYSTEM ERROR ―Aigis seized in her restraints, all her senses temporarily vanishing behind a flash of static. “Aigis?” Ikutsuki-san asked. The emotion in his voice may have been concern. “Are you alright?” This time, she had an excuse to do so, so she did not hesitate to run an emergency system scan. “All systems functional,” she reported. Ikutsuki-san heaved a sigh. “Thank goodness.” Yes. Aigis agreed. That had been―frightening. What had happened? Surely Ikutsuki-san knew better than to attempt any major changes while she was still conscious?

Fandom: Persona 3 Characters: Aigis, Ikutsuki Shuji Summary: The Chairman personally oversees Aigis’s regularly scheduled maintenance―but some of his tests and inquiries are… distressing. Word Count: ~5,000 Notes: Whumptober Day 23: Tied to a Table, and Day 24: "I don't want to do this anymore." I sure do love Aigis!! [inflicts the horrors upon her]

Undertow - Persona 3 fanfiction

The water felt so damn good, it blotted out reality entirely. Shinjiro had no idea how long he’d been standing under the shower head. It would take some convincing to make him care. All that mattered right now was the pressure of the water beating down on his shoulders and the warmth that slowly suffused through his battered body. Other than the steady hiss of the shower and the quiet huffs of his own breathing, all was quiet. Shinjiro drifted.

Fandom: Persona 3 Ship: ShinjiMina Characters: Aragaki Shinjiro, Arisato Minato Summary: Shinjiro gets out of the shower. Minato is right there, waiting for him. There's something wrong with this picture, but Shinjiro can't seem to put his finger on it. Word Count: ~8,000 Notes: Whumptober Day 16: Mind Control. Fic is not NSFW but please mind the tags!

the glitter dancing on the skin - Fire Emblem Awakening fanfiction

“No!” Panne’s teeth were buried in a Risen’s neck when she heard the cry, and her head snapped around so quickly that she ripped its head clean off its body. As she urgently searched for the source of the sound, her mind raced down the list of possibilities. The Exalt’s sister was riding with the Prince today, and the other cleric was much closer to the front; she would have recognized the mage boy’s voice if he’d been the one to— “HELP!” She did recognize that voice.

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Awakening Ship: Pannelivia (Panne/Olivia) Characters: Panne, Olivia, Ricken Summary: Olivia is injured in battle, and Panne rushes to her rescue for reasons she can't quite identify. Word Count: ~1,700 Notes: just a short little oneshot for Whumptober alt prompt 12: carried to safety

Miso Soup - Persona 3 fanfiction

Shinjiro glared at the door with a level of contempt he usually reserved for things that were actively trying to kill him. It was a bit chilly out here in the hallway, and the steam rising from the bowl of soup he carried was hot against his face. Not to toot his own horn, but it smelled damn good. Good enough that he was worried its aroma might rouse Koromaru from his slumber in Amada’s room if he didn’t hurry and deliver the soup to its intended recipient. Unfortunately, he’d overfilled the bowl. It was too heavy to hold steady with one hand. Which meant he couldn’t open the door without balancing the whole tray awkwardly on his palm. Which, given that he’d overfilled the bowl, ran the risk of sloshing some soup over the edge. If he spilled on the carpet, Mitsuru would cover up the stain with his bloodied remains. And if he scalded himself with his own broth, Aki would never let him live it down. So now he was just standing here, white-knuckling the tray and glowering at the nameplate as if it had just killed his dog.

Fandom: Persona 3 Characters: Aragaki Shinjiro, Arisato Minato, Kirijo Mitsuru, Sanada Akihiko Summary: Against his better judgment, Shinjiro makes soup for Minato when he's laid out with a fever. He didn't expect to have to help him through a nightmare-induced panic as well. Word Count: ~7,000 Notes: the title of this document in google docs was "local badboy vehemently denies heart-of-gold allegations. more at eleven."

Fair Trade - Persona 3 Fanfiction

The gun traced lazy circles across the side of Ken’s head, dipping briefly down to scrape his cheekbone. In response, Aragaki bared his teeth. “Let him go, Takaya,” he repeated in a low growl, his voice dripping with rage. Ken breathed fast and heavy through his nose, trying without luck to stop himself from shaking. He was trapped between Scylla and Charybdis; held at gunpoint by a cold-blooded killer, with only his mother’s murderer there to save him. And Takaya might be oblivious, but he and Aragaki both knew what Ken had planned to do tonight. The only reason he could conceptualize for Aragaki to defend him, knowing that, was that he wanted to kill Ken himself.

Fandom: Persona 3 Characters: Amada Ken, Aragaki Shinjiro, Sakaki Takaya, Sanada Akihiko Summary: Ken's revenge is interrupted. Word Count: ~6,000 Notes: Written for Whumptober Day 3 (gun to temple), Day 20 (prisoner trade), and Day 21 ("Take me instead.") Happy October 4th. :)

Anger churned in Akihiko's stomach, so hot and so violent that he nearly gagged on it and spat up fire. “So what?” he ground out through clenched teeth. “If Tartarus isn’t my mission anymore, then why do you get to decide whether or not I go?” She glowered back. “Because you still have a job to do, even if it doesn’t involve Tartarus anymore. You need to stay safe and avoid unnecessary risks if you want to be any help to the people of Port Island.” This time, Akihiko’s laugh was closer to hysterical than mocking. “How the hell am I any help to the people of Port Island if I can’t even handle Tartarus? If you think I’m so damn weak then why won’t you let me get stronger?”

Fandom: Persona 3 Characters: Sanada Akihiko, Kirijo Mitsuru Summary: The other two members of S.E.E.S. are left reeling when Shinjiro voluntarily leaves their ranks. Frustrated, hurt, and unwilling to face his feelings, Akihiko tries to storm Tartarus by himself, and Mitsuru has to talk some sense back into him―whether he likes it or not. Word Count: ~9,000. Notes: Written for Whumptober Day 1 (unconventional restraints/"this wasn't supposed to happen") and Day 28 (anger born of worry)

Tantrum - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon fanfic

‘Please,’ he begged inwardly, since he couldn’t beg aloud. ‘Please, I’m sorry, please don’t be mad. I won’t do it again, so please...’

Maybe Father could hear the pleas, even though they went unspoken. Maybe that was why his face was suddenly red with rage.

Either way, he pressed his hand against Marth’s chest, nowhere near the bruise, and roughly shoved him back up against the wall. The heel of Father’s palm was hot on his collarbone, a large thumb and forefinger extending upwards to brush ever-so-slightly against the base of his neck, as if to pinch his throat between them, and Marth abruptly stopped breathing.

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Characters: Marth, Jagen, Cornelius Summary: A mishap during training puts Marth on his father's bad side. Word Count: ~7,000 Notes: Written for Bad Things Happen Bingo prompt "pleading". Part 2 coming soon :)

Two Truths and a Lie - Persona 3 fanfiction

Shinji exhaled sharply through his nose. “Aki.”

“Who did this to you.”

Even Shinjiro, who could’ve predicted this reaction from the moment he caught a glimpse of his own reflection, was taken aback by the sheer anger in Akihiko’s voice. His jaw was clenched so tightly that his growls barely resembled words. Somewhere behind his knit brow and eyes bright with rage, Polydeuces must have been stirring, because Shinji could feel a prickle of static where Aki’s hands gripped his arms.

Fandom: Persona 3 Ship: AkiShinji Characters: Aragaki Shinjiro, Sanada Akihiko Summary: Shinjiro gets into a fight with some shit-talking bullies and comes out the other side looking pretty rough. Of course, Akihiko just has to show up unannounced and demand to know what happened―and, of course, he insists upon bandaging up Shinji’s wounds. Word Count: ~6,000 Notes: Written for Whumptober Day 3 - taunting/insults/”Who did this to you?”

Enemy - Persona 5 Fanfic

Ryuji’s stomach flipped.

Akira’s eyes were aglow with a strange magenta light. His expression was somehow both spine-chillingly vacant and almost comical in its furious fervor.

“Persona,” Akira intoned in a flat, faraway voice, and Ryuji barely managed to fling himself out of the way before a razor-sharp whirlwind tore up the concrete where he’d been standing a moment ago.

Fandom: Persona 5 Characters: Sakamoto Ryuji, Kurusu Akira Summary: Ryuji decides that heading into Memetos with only a two-man team is a great idea, Akira lets his guard down around a Shadow with the ability to Brainwash, and they both reap the consequences.

A Few Basic Questions - Mysterious Benedict Society Fic

Nicholas was inspecting a squash at the farmer’s market when he felt a prickling on the back of his neck. Though it was a faint sensation, and he had no real reason to believe it meant anything, Nicholas immediately felt uneasy. Still, he tried not to act rashly or let on how uncomfortable he was. Instead, he finished inspecting the squash, paid for his produce, bid the stall owner a friendly farewell, and then headed off in the direction of his favorite used bookstore. The tail he seemed to have acquired―a man in a sharp gray suit―was hot on his heels.

Fandom: The Mysterious Benedict Society Characters: Nicholas Benedict, Rhonda Kazembe, Number Two, Milligan, McCracken Summary: The first time someone attempted to abduct Nicholas, he shook them easily. The second time someone attempted to abduct him, he came perilously close to falling victim. The third time someone attempted to abduct him, they succeeded. Word Count: ~8,000 Notes: Written for Whumptober Day 1 - bound.

On instinct, Blake had leaned back as far as she could in her chair, her neck craned back to put more space between them. She still had to cross her eyes slightly to focus on the small, oblong object resting in Ruby’s outstretched palm.

It was, indeed, a rock. Maybe two inches long and one inch wide, rounded along the edges, and dark gray in color, with a stripe of lighter stone running diagonally across it.

Blake could not, for the life of her, see anything noteworthy about it.

Fandom: RWBY Characters: Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Ozpin, Qrow Branwen Pairings: Ladybug (Ruby/Blake) Summary: Ruby gives Blake a cool rock she found. Blake doesn’t get it. (She gets it from her uncle.) Word Count: ~3,000 Notes: Wrote this cute shit in like five hours at midnight, no editing we die like Mountain Glenn. The Ladybug could be read as platonic I suppose. Last scene could also be read as OzQrow/Cloqwork if you feel so inclined

When Serra broke the news to him, her eyes fixed on her feet and her voice uncharacteristically hesitant, Hector didn’t feel a thing.

She stood there in the door of his study, her hands folded behind her back, and told him that they’d done everything they could, but it wasn’t enough―his wife had passed away. She gave him Lyndis’ last words, which Lyndis herself had written down on a scrap of parchment, not trusting the clerics to deliver it word-for-word from memory. Then Serra offered her condolences, paused awkwardly for a moment, and backed out of the room, closing the door behind her with a quiet click.

Hector stared at the paper held gingerly in his hand, and he didn’t feel a thing.

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword & Binding Blade Characters: Hector, Eliwood, Lilina, Oswin Pairings: Hector/Eliwood, Mentions of Florina/Lyn Summary: Grieving for Lyn would be a lot easier if their marriage had been legitimate. Failing that, he wished that it could’ve been a purely political marriage; a union that existed only on paper to someone whom he didn’t care about at all. Either option would have been more manageable than this. How was he supposed to mourn his wife when he loved her, he truly did, but both of them loved someone else more? Word Count: ~6,000 Notes: I always saw Lyn and Hector’s relationship as a lavender marriage, and this is something of an exploration of that.

“Yeah―I mean, yes, Naruto is a… friend of mine,” she said. She blinked, then shook her head rapidly. “Oh, I’m sorry―I haven’t even introduced myself. My name is Hyūga Hinata. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She bowed―then raised her head and bowed again, more deeply this time. “Thank you for coming to my comrades’ aid. Naruto and Neji-nii-san are both very important to me, and… I… if they hadn’t made it back, I… I don’t…”

Hinata seemed at a loss for what to say next, and ultimately just bowed a third time, even more deeply. “Thank you.”

A bit uncomfortable with such profuse gratitude, Temari took a step back, resting her hand on her hip. “Don’t worry about it. We’re your allies―and we were grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate our loyalty.” See that, councilmen? She could be diplomatic. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. “Besides, I wasn’t the one who was responsible for them coming back in one piece. Thank the medics, and thank whoever taught those two to fight.”

Pairings: Temari/Hinata, background Naruto/Gaara and mentions of Shikamaru/Choji Summary: Temari had never really cared much about meeting her Soulmate, and she wasn’t the kind of person to offer comfort or advice to random strangers. But that Hyūga girl had looked so lost, standing outside her cousin’s hospital room, unable to gather the courage to enter. Why not give her a nudge in the right direction? Word Count: ~7,000 Notes: i was SO frantic to get this done in time for Naruto Femslash Week day 4 (prompt was Soulmates :3). I actually started this a while ago, though. Naruto Femslash Week just gave me the kick in the pants I needed to actually finish it, haha. God I love HinaTema

At that, she couldn’t stop herself from laughing—the ugly snorting laugh that she always tried to choke down. “Nobody’s courting anybody, Father,” she giggled. Nevertheless, she felt a weight vanish from her chest at his easy acceptance. Really, she didn’t know why she had expected any different. Maybe her nerves really were getting the better of her tonight.

Father smiled widely at the sound of her laughter. “Well?” he prompted once she was done, holding out her dress in both hands. “Are you ready to try it on, lass?”

Without giving herself a moment to think about it, Lilina pushed herself out of her chair. “Yes,” she said decisively. “I’m ready.”

My piece for @rallyspectrumzine! Fandom: Fire Emblem: Binding Blade Characters: Lilina, Hector Pairings: Gen Summary: Tonight will be her debut banquet as the Lady of House Ostia, but Lilina has mulberry stains on her hands and a lot on her mind. Hector, as ever, is there to offer her some words of support. Word Count: ~1,500 Notes: It’s been SO amazing to work with all these talented artists and authors on Rally Spectrum+!
