Detective Conan: Acting Out Deep Affection

Beichuan Feng was a social butterfly who flitted through high society, until he met Gin and willingly let his wings be broken.

At first, Gin thought Beichuan Feng was an ordinary person, but he never imagined his identity was far more complicated than he had assumed.

He was only an idol, yet his skills in marksmanship, combat, assassination, and intelligence, all standard in the underworld, were top-notch.

Gin didn't know that he loved Beichuan Feng, but he guarded against him with clear eyes even as he trusted him.

That trust led to the tragedy that followed.

Amuro Tooru thought Gin must have a grudge against the Beichuan family, since he was always picking on people with that surname.

First, there was Beichuan Feng, a perfectly good idol dragged into the Organization and tortured. His hand was ruined, his face disfigured, and he was forced into drug addiction. In the end, he even lost his life.

As for Gin, either he was nowhere to be found or he was busy getting close to Sherry at the research lab. When he learned Beichuan Feng was dead, the first thing he did was destroy his belongings.

Then came Beichuan Rin. He'd been a spoiled young master, living a life of luxury amid the pursuit of fame and fortune. Sure, he spent every day racing cars, gambling, and partying, but he was free and happy, and even had a wealthy heiress for a fiancee.

Then, unlucky enough to cross paths with Gin, he saw his engagement party turn into a shootout. His family nearly perished, and he was worn down until he was utterly spent, left with nothing to do but wait for death.

As for why Amuro Tooru knows all this so well, that's a secret for now.

Real life stabbed me in the back three times, so I can't update daily anymore. For a while, updates will be irregular, meaning one chapter every year or two. I'm giving up, jpg.

Most important of all, repeat after me: There isn't a single innocent person in this story! That includes the main characters!

If you can accept that, read on for the detailed content warnings and advance notice.

First, a word about the plot.

Although Fengfeng is an idol, there is very little about the entertainment industry. The story mainly follows the Organization's plotline.

The blurb says Gin cares about Sherry, but there's absolutely no romance between them. That's just Fengfeng's misunderstanding. Gin doesn't actually care about Sherry; he pays attention to her for other reasons. The engagement party and so on are part of a plan, but it ultimately falls through.

About the timeline:

I've changed one part of the timeline in this story. The part where Tohru is cared for by Miyano Elena has been moved from before the Miyano couple joined the Organization to after they joined. The rest follows the original timeline.

Content warnings: The main characters are not good people, not good people, not good people.

There are many disturbing elements, including two sexually experienced leads, unconventional romance, and substitute-themed romance, though there isn't actually a substitute character.

There are many original additions, at least more than in my previous story. Some characters on the good guys' side may change their allegiances a second time.

Note: This is fanfiction, so out-of-character portrayals are inevitable. Please don't conflate this with the original characters.

All the characters in this story have warped values. Their values do not represent the author's. Readers who aren't comfortable with morally complex themes should proceed with caution.

The author cannot guarantee that the various facts and information in the story are completely accurate. Most are sourced from Baidu. The author also cannot guarantee that the characters' behavior and reactions will always conform to "normal" logic.

An aside: I'm really quite sensitive. If you don't like the story, you can leave using the top-left corner.

I'm open to suggestions, but only reasonable ones. I won't accept mindless attempts to dictate the plot.

One last ramble: This is just how I write. The prose is average, the plot is average, and the main characters are crazy. If you don't like it, don't read it; there's no need to criticize. Different people like different things. If you enjoy it, read for fun. If you don't, leave using the top-left corner.

Aside 2.0: Those who've read A Drama of Reality should know Fengfeng is actually a (censored). For information about Fengfeng's identity, see chapter three, "The Future We Created," in the bonus story for A Drama of Reality. You can take a look, but it won't affect your reading if you don't.

Theme: Only sincerity can be repaid with sincerity.
