Summary
“Oh, you’re lovely,” Akira breathes. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you as many second chances as you desire.”
Goro tries to create distance out of nothing. His back presses against the shaking bones of the carriage. Akira’s fingertips never leave his skin. “I—I didn’t ask for—whatever you have to give me.”
“No, but you did plead,” Akira says softly. “You want your life back. I can grant you that. I’m no arbiter of life and death, space and time, but regret is a potent thing.” A cold finger travels down Goro’s neck, coming to a rest between his collarbones. Akira’s smile is gentle but distant, an astronomer enraptured with the light of a galaxy long dead. “One more chance. Just one. And afterward, if you tell me just one more, it’ll be yours.”
Eighteen years and eight months, and Goro is still a fool.
In which there are a million ways to live and die, and Goro Akechi has a thousand second chances.

Summary
Someone once told Akira that he had a heart of stone, but that's not true. It's just that he was born and raised in a frozen wasteland, with parents who think emotions are frivolous and taught him to never ever show what he was feeling. Akira had to learn to adapt, and eventually, his heart froze too.
Now, he's been arrested, blamed for something he didn't do, and slapped with a criminal record. He's getting shipped off to Tokyo where no one will know who he is. Where no one will care who he is.
And Akira is angry.
AKA: Akira woke up and chose violence (the fic) XD

Summary
A series inspired by BBC America's Killing Eve, starring Goro Akechi as Crow the Assassin and Akira Kurusu as the maker of bad decisions. The story is intended to be read in order, parts 1-4.
Killing Eve is a story about a conspiracy assassin and an MI6 (homeland security) agent falling in very, very ugly love with each other. In my AU, Akira isn't as afraid of Crow as Eve is of Villanelle, but he's more curious about this strange Assassin bothering him at every turn.
'There's something about the way you are' was previously published as a one-shot, although it will form part of a bigger chapter later on in the story, and it isn't too revealing as to the plot. I have chosen to leave it uploaded, as it has several pleasant comments attached that I would be sad to lose.
