Summary
Yusuke Kitagawa has pledged his apprenticeship, his craft, his life to his sensei. He has given everything just for the chance to stand in his shadow. Even as the other apprentices flake and fade away, even as the world around him crumbles and their knives are turned against his back, he knows that this must be the only path forward for him. Right?
But when he is plagued by visions of a golden museum, of a samurai woman nestled in his soul, and of a mysterious Paintress dwelling somewhere in the space beyond understanding, he must soon discover that there is more to life than sitting alone in the darkness.

Summary
A shadow falls over his shoulder. “The fourth one should be observed,” A flat voice says, English pronunciation almost impeccable. Ito-sensei would be crying tears of joy. “You missed an e.”
Goro frowns, rechecking his work, before realising that, much to his displeasure, the stranger is correct. He changes his answer and looks up. A bored-looking boy with blue hair and wired headphones around his neck stares back at him, one eye covered by his shaggy bangs. “Thank you,” Goro hedges. “Nii-san.”
The boy shrugs. “Sure.”

Sumire is a Phantom Thief whose dreams are plagued by an iron gate that never opens.
Akira is a killer who's so skilled at putting up masks, he's not quite sure which face is his anymore.
Goro is a detective with a murky past and a murkier future.
It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
Sound ceased around him, and the air stilled. Goro's crimson eyes snapped up, looking around at a world frozen in time. In the distance, across the Crossing, a blue fire that Goro recognized as the signature spirit flames of a Persona blossomed, forming a vague figure he didn't recognize. He felt that he was in a trance, unable to move, unable to look away. In a flash, he saw his own face wreathed in the flame, eyes the color of molten gold, face split by a wide grin that reminded him of Joker. It wasn't cold or cruel or maddened. It was feral, rebellious, ecstatic.
Free.
Goro was a lot of things. Or, he tried to be, at least. One thing he shouldn't be is alive. Another thing he shouldn't be is leading his own team of Phantom Thieves against the father he'd, evidently, assaulted to get where he is, now.
Funny how fate works like that, huh?

Bookmark Notes:
Arcana Swap, with a dash of NG+ (Vanilla into to Royal for Akechi & Ren). In original timeline, Ren won, but at too great a cost (RIP the rest of the Thieves). Got a choice to shuffle the pieces while fixing a few in place (Ren chose Akechi to be the Fool, himself to be Magician, and Sae to stay as Judgement).
Fool: Emiya [Goro] Akechi/"Ace" (Akelā - Fire). Has two sets of memories. Held back a year, so still a 2nd year. Has a transfem awakening thanks to Futaba??? Leader of the "Twilight Bandits".
Magician: Ren Amamiya/"Grim" (Arsené - Dark). Some kind of Tengu? A raven in reality. Can also turn into a hot boy.
Hierophant: Munehisa Iwai. Pretty much identical to canon, but in charge of Akechi’s probation.
Lovers: Sadayo Kawakami/"Brave" (Boudicca - Nuclear). 2nd year student. Works at a maid cafe. Had no intention of providing "special services" until forced to by Okumura (who drove Takase to suicide by outing him as gay to his parents).
Chariot: Haru Okumura. PUNK. Initially naive and skeptical about her Dad's Problems.
Justice: Ann Takamaki/"????" (????). Goes to Akechi’s old school, has an engraved briefcase, and a fake-as-hell mask. Apparently was dating Akechi in the previous "game" long before the Thieves were a Thing (and knew about Shido, the shutdowns, etc). Oh no!
Hermit?: Yusuke Kitagawa(?). Futaba has an "online friend" who designed the Calling Cards. It looks professional, so it's probably Inari.
Hermit?: "Plague" - dollars to donuts that this is Takemi. TransMASC, but can't transition due to medical complications. Innocent Sin Online.
Fortune: Yuuki Mishima. Also plays for the Tokyo Dragons. Gets future visions, somehow. This lets him remember the previous "game".
Death: Keito Igarashi. Track Team OC. May be Minato Arisato's brother??? Lives in Tatsumi Port Island, had a Weird Sword, literally called his brother Mina?
Devil: Makoto Niijima. Hangs out at Crossroads. Cigarettes and Whiskey??? She's really going through it, huh. Relationship with Sae is the same, she's just handling it differently (worse).
Star: Shiho Suzui. Plays volleyball for the Tokyo Dragons (a mixed, non-affiliated Volleyball Team that competes at a national level, coached by Kamoshida). Jumped, but Akechi saved her.
Moon: Futaba Sakura/"Scout" (Jill Valentine - Electric). Nonbinary. In the Economics Club, good with computers, leaked Akechi’s record, friends with Shiho.
Sun: Ryuji Sakamoto (A teacher in his 30s, and the track coach) and the Track Team, a bunch of OCs (Igarashi Keito, The Tanji Twins (Tsuki and Tayo), Tano Naru, Akiyama Kisho, Tabata Ayano, Hanato Rin, Koda Tsubasa)
Judgement: Still Sae Niijima.
Faith: Canon Sumire ["Kasumi"] Yoshizawa?
Councillor: Canon Takuto Maruki. Akechi & Ren have immediately noticed the rancid vibes, but have no idea what his deal is.
Castle of Lust: Kunikazu Okumura. Pervert Economics teacher.
????: Kamoshida. Abusive coach of the Tokyo Dragons.

Summary
Haru's already thrown away a life once embracing herself when she came out as trans to her father. Now she's given up the most fulfilling time of her life refusing to lose it. Having to start over in Tokyo, she's about to be caught up in a lot of things beyond her control.
An Arcana Swap AU with Haru as the Fool/Trickster because while replaying Strikers I remember how much I love her bodying Zenkichi early on about cops.
This work is now completed!

Summary
The last thing Ryuji wants to do is upend his life and move to a new city in the middle of highschool, but after being arrested for trying to defend his mom from her deadbeat ex-husband, he doesn’t really have a choice. Mom says they both need a fresh start, and Ryuji figures he might as well give Tokyo a chance.
Life in the big city ends up being even more crazy that he expects, when he ends up thrown into the Metaverse on his very first day of school. Someone has to do something about King Kamoshida and it might as well be him.
His second chance is going to be more difficult than he expected, but he wouldn’t change it for the world.

Summary
The cast of Persona 3 in the setting of Persona 5.
Kotone Shiomi has been alone for a very long time.
The death of her mother, her separation from her brother, and the lonely years spent shuffled to and fro through the foster system haven’t been kind to her. Cap it all off with an assault charge on her record for trying to protect an innocent woman, and Kotone’s life could never be called easy.
Still, being transferred to a new school in Tokyo was a fresh start. A new beginning. All she had to do was keep her head down, and hope for a quiet year without much fuss. Hopefully one that wouldn’t involve strange Palaces looming in the dark, the ghost of a pirate woman dwelling in her soul, and a group of mysterious Moonlit Thieves rifting through the spaces between.
Because that would be crazy, right?
