“No one invited you,” says Rei. “I invited me,” replies the sniper. “I’m not interested in company.” “I’m surprised you’d consider me that.” Rei sighs. It lifts some of the weight. “I’m not incapable of recognizing good intentions.” “Just incapable of appreciating them,” says Akai, wryly.

“You should have left me in Japan. You should have just – let me go.” The sniper stops, looking down at him. “You don’t have to know how to value yourself. But I hope you know that you deserve to.” Rei gets slowly to his feet. He feels about a hundred years old. “Shut up, FBI.”

“Tell me who blew the op, Akai. Was it your minions – is that who you’re protecting? Was it Edogawa Conan? Or was it you? Those are the only people who knew.” Akai stands, suddenly tall, lean as an elm. Towering. “Are they? I think you’re forgetting a major player.”

The events of the night pass through his memory as if printed on faded cloth; he remembers them, but they feel surreal, strange. His face in the mirror; blood on his knuckles; Akai’s hands lifting him. He looks down; the white gauze over his fist is dotted with very faint patches of red.

“Planning your retribution campaign already?” Akai’s smile is tight, cutting. “There’s nothing more that you need to do, Furuya-kun. You’re here to recuperate and lay low.” Rei glares, eyes hard. “And you’re here to make me do it. Is that it?” “If you like.” “I don’t like. Ship me back to Japan.”

Working on some DCMK... Vermouth, irritated now, clicks her tongue. “Scotch’s brother. Can’t you see it?” She leans in and, with the muzzle of her pistol, traces the corner of Morofushi Takaaki’s eye. He doesn’t flinch, staring up at her without fear. “He’s not in the Syndicate,” says Bourbon.

I've got some mystery health stuff going on that's impacting my writing. Still pecking away at things, but definitely my pace has slowed over the past couple of months due to stress and distraction. Just wanted folks to know why the updates have been reduced. <3

“And if it comes to it, advise Zhang Ping. He has learned strategy, but not guile. The Emperor is his only, best sponsor. And the Court nurses many jealousies.” Mowen lowers his head to lie against the mare’s, looking up at Lan Jue. “Or was that your intention all along?”

In his finely tailored robes looks like what he is – a young scholar, an intellectual, as well as a force unto himself. No longer a puppy, but a lean hound. A man who knows what it is to sit in judgement of others.

A League of Nobleman: Zhang Ping’s still lean as a spring shoot, his broad shoulders bony and his waist slim, but his face has sharpened and the look in his eye is assured, now. His hair he has grown long, and wears pinned up beneath an ebony guan to match the black silk of his court costume.

I cannot handle spice at all. For the past 15 years, I've used this single table shaker of pepper that I stole from a roommate, never refilled. Today finally bought a jar of pepper. I fully expect it to last me the rest of my life. (teaspoon for scale).

Honestly I was really disappointed in the cut-to-black end of Akai and Furuya meeting at the Kudou mansion. I understand that obviously Aoyama wants to bring whatever happened there back much later, but it's just SO OBVIOUS that when it comes back later instead of feeling clever I'll just be tired.

TLDR - my fics are NOT reflective of the tone or content of the series; they're a very narrow slice. <3

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Also TBH it's felt for the past several years like the mangaka is just stringing the series out to last him until retirement, and that's led to some amount of stagnation which has EVEN ME starting to wane on it.

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

- because they're in less than 100 episodes individually, and on screen together maybe... 5 times? There's a lot of history between them that comes out in tiny blips here and there, which is fun if you're invested in the show but pretty frustrating if you just want to follow this pairing.

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Detective Conan is a manga and an anime, and also has annual movies. It's been going since about 1994 and has 1200+ episodes; it's also geared more towards children. I probably wouldn't recommend it for most adults, and also probably not if Akai/Furuya is your main interest (as it is mine) -

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

A note for those non-DCMK readers who have commented saying they're intrigued by the characters/show... Honestly it's so wonderful when folks follow authors into new fandoms - that's how I've gotten into a few of my most beloved fandoms, it's awesome.

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Totally nothing dramatic! Just have had a few fics lately where I either thought it wouldn't attract much attention and it's done surprisingly well, or ones where I thought they would be right up the alley of the fandom and didn't receive as much initial attention.

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I can't think of a SINGLE TIME a fic performed the way I expected it to, perhaps with the exception of Like a Needle to the North. I recognize that there must be people out there who are pumping out fics specifically designed to elicit lots of positive response, but boy is that not an option for me.

Some more AKAM... Rei turns to him. With the engine off there’s no light inside the car. Akai is nothing but shadow and the smell of cigarettes. Lucky Strikes, Rei remembers from ancient times, from days before names and badges and grief. He tosses the laptop into the backseat, still facing Akai.

Guardian... Of course, the worst thing isn’t that Shen Wei is an ancient being from beneath the foundations of the underworld, here to carry out merciless justice on those who flaunt the borders between the worlds. The worst thing is that Zhao Yunlan’s traitorous heart doesn’t give a shit.

honestly, I recommend it. costs nothing and increases other peoples' positive impression of you - even while you are frantically trying to reassure yourself that this person IS the person you think it is.

I also am Not Good with faces, particularly moving from Zoom to RL. But my approach is the opposite - whenever I see someone I recognize, I am SO HAPPY that I recognize them that I great them jubilantly. This leads them to believe I am happy to see THEM, which is nearly always untrue.

Making good progress... Okiya lifts his chin, baring his throat – just the upper reaches of it, pale skin shaded like old snow. His mouth is perilously close to Rei’s. “So you don’t want to?” he asks; Rei can feel the brush of his breath on his face. “You’re delusional.”

athena_crikey @athena-crikey.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Some AKAM Akai is so much more than Okiya. Okiya, buttoned down and literally collared, lets through only a hint of that searing personality. Sometimes, Rei misses it. Sometimes he thinks Okiya’s reticence is the only thing that’s stopped him breaking a bottle overtop the FBI agent’s head.

including hockey sticks. So if someone stops Canadians (particularly young, economically disadvantaged Canadians) playing hockey, it will be Trump.

I don't usually dive into politics here, but just to say. Last year, after all the tariffs on Canada, Canada made a small trade deal with China, and Trump Popped Off about COMMUNIST CHINA WILL STOP CANADIANS PLAYING HOCKEY. Well, now Trump is threatening 50% tariffs on Canadian goods...

Daisuke opens the collar and wraps it around his neck. Fingers to his throat, feeling the suppleness of his skin, the warmth of it. The throb of his arteries. He catches the tongue of the collar through the clasp and slowly pulls it tight, the whisper of leather loud in a sudden lull of sound.
