He calls Souji right after Adachi drives away from Chie’s living room. Chie’s mother brings over chips, which is nice, but not very filling. He’s tempted to ask for steak, but Chie’s right there and might crack his head open if he does.
“Hey, partner,” Yosuke says when Souji picks up.
“Hi,” Souji says. He sounds polite, which is weird, because Souji’s never… stiff around him. “I’m busy right now. Can I call you back?”
“Sure,” Yosuke says. He hangs up and looks at Chie.
“What’s going on?” she says. “That call ended fast.”
Yosuke does some calculations. No way that Adachi can get from his house to Souji’s in five minutes. Not unless there’s a special police helicopter or something.
The weird thing is, Yosuke always knew this day would happen. It kind of has to. There’s no way they can keep eating people and not get caught eventually. He always imagined he’d be caught in mid-bite in some seedy alleyway, but this works, too. They can rally the troops and then… and then what

“Are you all right?” Yosuke says, which is a dumb, dumb thing to say when Yukiko’s staring at a Chie’s dead body like it’s a squashed bug or dried fish. She’s sitting in blood, her legs folded beneath her

THIS is my current reason for keeping up with the meme. I love how in character they are even though they've changed from bringing murders to justice, to murders. I'm really curious about how this all started. What happened to Saki? Did Yosuke...? And I can't help but wonder about how this will end, and naoto's role in it. Will she choose to join the IT when she realizes the world will no longer accept her as a boy or as a girl? Or will she fight to the bitter end both the IT and her own growing hunger? By eliminating all the Asuras... including herself?
And Darn if “Make sure you don’t put her near Teddie,” doesn't put shivers down my anticipating spine.

Different anon here - I've only just found this fic, and ahhh, it's amazing. Dark and compelling and so effective despite being AU. Really looking forward to reading more of it.

They’re keeping Shirogane in the dungeon, tied up to Yukiko’s throne. The room’s roughed up. This is where they kept Teddie, before they gave up and left him in the strange bedroom with the scarf. There are red marks on Shirogane’s wrist. He’s not thrashing around anymore, but when Yosuke shows up with Nanako, he says, “I see that you have moved onto kidnapping children

Her neck, soft and human, ripples and widens in his hand. He just has enough sense to release her and rush out of her range. A storm of flame swirls around Yukiko. She looks different, somehow, less pink and more golden. Maybe that’s the difference, between eating a normal person and eating someone with a demon in them. Yosuke wonders what would happen if he took a bite of Chie, but he doesn’t want it anymore. Instead, he approaches Yukiko, hands out. Fire swirls around her, red and hot.
“Hey,” he says. “Hey.”
“No, no,” she says as he gets near. “No, she’s mine, she’s mine “I know, I know,” he says. Her shoulders crumple; she lets herself fall into him. There’s blood soaking into his shirt, but the fire is dying

Yesssssss, updates! Not the best at commenting, but I feel the immense need to support one of my favorite fics in whatever meager way I can! ;w; loving this fic to death, as always.

Wow, I just found this fic, and I am amazed (and creeped out). The story is so compelling, and the characters are deeply disturbing, but fascinatingly like their original counterparts.
I love it so far! There have been multiple times where I've exclaimed out loud. And poor Nanako... I just want to hug her (and pay for her therapy).
