    Summary

    This is an Alternate Universe set in a 1930s-esque environment during a financial depression that rakes its ugly claws throughout the world. Hershel Layton is an ex-professor, having had everything ripped from him 7 years ago after an accident that leaves him homeless. He is forced to jump freights and travel relentlessly with the Government, Targent, and a strange assassin on his tail.

    Luke Triton is a boy from Misthallery, weary and worn-down from the issues brought on by the depression. When everything he knows is destroyed by money-starved Targent, he runs from what was once his home and hops into a boxcar, quietly joining the company of a then-sleeping man as the train rattles along the rails.

    Everything changes when the train is derailed and the two learn of the mysterious Phantom Railway.

    Summary

    All day on the second day it had been raining. The waves were a bit more vicious, like a dog that had been riled up a bit too much and now its eager bite was starting to leave dents in the skin. The swell tossed the boat without much regard for its passengers. Hershel and Luke stayed in their cabin most of the day, passing the time with books and puzzles, save for when they had to duck out to get food. It was much gentler with the hull than it was with the passengers. Hershel could hear the animals beneath them complaining about their seasickness. He only hoped, for their sake and for his and Luke’s, that they’d be sedated again soon.

    OR

    Hershel Layton is sent adrift after the sinking of the SS Constance aboard a lifeboat.

    Summary

    SPOILER WARNING: This takes place after the current end of canon: the 50th episode of the anime series, and heavily references the third game in the series, Unwound/Lost Future. I have tried to provide enough context for the emotional beats of this story to land for those unfamiliar with these parts of Layton canon.

    This is a story exploring the series’ recurring motif of lost time. It’s mostly a character study centered on Luke, but there’s also kind of a conspiracy plot running in tandem with that, and some focus on Luke's relationship with his canon wife. (Not my area of expertise so any romantic scenes are very brief and platonic. lol)

    I wonder, I wonder what you would do if you had the power to dream at night anything you wanted to dream. Everyone would have different dreams.

    Summary

    A mass grave is discovered at the edge of the desert, and in it 20 corpses with strange circuitry-like marks on their skin, and masks fused to their faces – masks inscribed with a strange, nearly extinct language that can only be read by a dangerous, reclusive Eremite Tribe . . . and, inexplicably, by Alhaitham.

    Perhaps he should be more bothered by the fact that he never actually studied or learned this language than he is, but as Alhaitham heads out to investigate the grave with Cyno, to learn what happened to these people, there are plenty more pressing problems to worry about. Assassins, betrayal, and ancient secrets plague them on their path to uncover a dangerous plot that threatens all of Sumeru, and suddenly it’s all they can do to survive. With allegiances shifting like the desert sands and primordial powers stirring, Cyno suddenly finds himself unsure of who can really be trusted, while Alhaitham . . . Alhaitham finds himself in a fight for his very soul . . .

    Summary

    "Obligate style hearkens aflame this robust earth."

    According to Sinclair, this is what Ryōshū says when Dante orders her to utilize her personal E.G.O, the sword and sheath that she keeps by her side at all times. Dante... doesn't have even the slightest idea what that means, which is nothing new when it comes to Ryōshū, but something about it doesn't sit quite right with them.

    Maybe they're just seeing something that isn't there. It certainly doesn't square with how Ryōshū is most... no, almost all of the time. Ryōshū herself would almost certainly glare a hole through Dante's clockface for even suggesting it. But the inflection in her voice, the way she holds the sword close to her body before using it, as if she's clinging onto it, and that muted expression on her face, behind her eyes...

    Is that... sorrow?

    A speculative take on Ryōshū's backstory, (very) loosely based on Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's Hell Screen.

    Summary

    "Tomorrow is broken. Tomorrow is nowhere."

    A year has passed since the Phantom Thieves struck down a god and saved Tokyo from a terrible fate. But when people all over the globe begin to suffer from "Paranoia Syndrome," mysterious seizures which leave them contorted and unconscious, Akira Kurusu finds himself in the Velvet Room once more, demanding answers for the affliction. His investigation leads him to the Dead Sea, the rotted remnants of the cognitive world, where all things go to be forgotten - including someone the Thieves had thought to be long gone.

    Meanwhile, Akira's comatose body is found in the waking world, and his terrified friends suspect the worst. Akira's confidants struggle to learn the truth behind Paranoia Syndrome, while he and Goro Akechi approach a fated confrontation in the decaying shell of the cognitive Tokyo. As the sickness continues to spread, the Phantom Thieves must reunite and destroy the evil festering beneath the Dead Sea's waters, before its malignant influence unravels civilization forever.
