  1. Summary

    After the complete destruction of Kamurocho and the collapse of civilization, Kiryu and his friends form an acting troupe to lift other survivors’ spirits. The group is grappling with these really lofty ideas, like whether their art should be about escapism or about facing the reality of what happened, and whether traumatized audiences are ready for that.

    But Kiryu’s not ready for that! He’s a hot mess, he’s barely processed his own personal losses, he’s fumbling through a new relationship without cleaning up the wreckage from his old one, and it’s all finally catching up to him.

    (A dark, surreal, post-apocalyptic AU set after the end of yk2. Each fic can be read as a standalone!)

    Summary

    On his Daidoji-prescribed vacation in a remote mountain town in northern Japan, Kiryu encounters the person he least expects. Majima, frustrated by the events at the dissolution, presses for answers that Kiryu is unwilling to divulge. But when the worst snow storm in a decade forces them both to shelter in place at a local ryokan, they have no choice but to reconcile their differences...and their long-buried feelings.

    Takes place after the events of Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.

    Summary

    It's Kiryu-chan's birthday! Well, technically it's the night before his birthday, but once midnight strikes, that makes it official. Right? Seems logical enough in Majima's mind... which is where we will spend the duration of this story.

    Despite the occasion, Kiryu seems less than happy, and Majima makes it his goal to figure out why. It's yer birthday, Kiryu-chan! Why not do something you've never done before? Something fun! The last place Majima expects to wind up is the lobby of a love hotel, trying to land Kiryu some sweet sweet birthday sex. Even worse, despite having asked for this, Kiryu seems less than enthusiastic about any of the cute girls trying to chat him up in the bar.

    What kind of women does Kiryu like, anyway? What kind indeed...

    A Y2/Y3 era fic with no spoilers beyond Yakuza 3.

    Summary

    It was true that every time Kiryu went toe-to-toe with Majima, Majima made damn sure that Kiryu left the fight learning something so he could be better the next time they face off. A technique with a certain weapon, how to hold more endurance, force more strength in each punch and kick.

    Well, Majima supposes Kiryu didn’t expect to learn multiple things about himself today. Certainly not like this either.
