Summary
Futaba had been convinced starting high school was the end of the world; no pre-existing friends, no good with other people, and no mom in the country to run back to and cry into the arms of.
As it turns out, she severely underestimated the scope of her issues.
or: Futaba Sakura is the wildcard, and also the only thing between the world and utter ruin. You know. No pressure.

Summary
Ryuji saved Yusuke’s life, but he’d also made it abundantly clear that Yusuke saved him, too. And while every day spent with him gave the girl another reason to keep going, Yusuke didn’t want that to be his only reason. Nearly two decades of codependency taught him as much.
Even with the worst of his past revealed, there were still things he’d yet to tell Ryuji. Unpleasant things. Namely, why he’d never undressed in front of him.

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?

Summary
All of the cards in the deck have been thoroughly and properly shuffled, and the infamous game you once knew will surely encounter some great changes.
A role-swap/arcana-swap rewrite of Persona 5 Royal with Sumire as the protagonist, major changes to the story beats, and a lot of projecting on part of the author.
You can read but you don't necessarily have to like it, I'm mostly just writing this for myself.
Updates will be inconsistent but done whenever possible.
Differing opinions and criticisms are welcome and encouraged!
NOT ABANDONED! Just dormant since I've got a lotta shit to worry about at the moment!

Summary
It would be nice, having a friend. A shoulder to cry on, an anchor to steady you. Yusuke desperately wanted a friend, but they hardly deserved such luxuries. Anyone who answered the call for a hit without hesitation was incapable of understanding concepts like love and friendship. Yusuke made peace with the fact that, when choosing to enact their revenge, they’d traded any semblance of normalcy for a sharper blade, a gun with more ammo, and a second, darker mask to wear atop their old one.
Yusuke wasn’t fit to play the role of the unlikely ally, but they could fake it anyway. They were bold, brash, bitter—not to mention a terrible actor—but they could try, under the pretense that the end was right around the corner. Sakamoto just had to get used to a girl who wasn’t used to… this. The feelings weren’t genuine, no, but perhaps it could be fun, or at the very least tolerable, while it lasted.
And it wouldn’t last.

Summary
Saori Hasegawa can't say she's ever kept a particularly good life. No matter how hard she tries, some impulse of her heart always tugs her in the wrong direction. She'd finally given her second chance, allowed to return to Japan and continue her studies and maybe even assume some level of normalcy after two years spent in a foreign country...
Only to be shattered after failing to ignore something despicable.
Now, even as she finds herself in her land of birth, it all ends up feeling distant again. Despair clinging to her thoughts, as she tries to be allowed to pick up her shattered thoughts... But it seems fate is not so keen on allowing her that chance.

Summary
Sumire could practically see Kurusu stifling follow-up questions as they waited for Akechi’s response. His arms were crossed tightly across his body, his expression growing gradually more upset. He couldn’t quite cover the flinch that rocked his body as another headache seemed to strike, but managed to stay on his feet.
He recovered quicker this time, straightening his posture deliberately as if that might make them forget what they had seen. “Yes, yes, you’re right. I knew that. It’s just — things are escaping me, at the moment. We should move on.”
He made to move, only for Kurusu to step in front of him.
“Janus, what do you know about your father?”
Reality has changed. In an attempt to find out who is behind it, Sumire, Kurusu, and Akechi infiltrate a mysterious Palace, and get a lot more than they bargained for.
