Summary
“Nobody seems to know what to do with you. When I received the call, the warden seemed bewildered that you were even here at all.” It was a phone call that Naoto would not soon forget—the chilling way that the warden seemed to continually forget what he was asking mid-sentence, unable to latch onto Akechi’s name as if his existence was something contingent on his direct and immediate presence.
Akechi bared his teeth, eyes in shadow. “Nobody has ever known what to do with me,” he said, voice dripping acid.
“Then, this should be refreshing for you,” he said, delighting in the way that Akechi’s gaze sharpened as Naoto plucked a nonexistent piece of lint from his coat. “You’re coming with me. To Inaba.”
At the end of P5R, the world forgets Akechi.

Summary
There’s something missing in Ren's life, something utterly essential. Sometimes, when he’s lying awake in the early hours, he swears he can almost grasp the memory of it in his bare hand. It seems so real. But like a dream, he can’t recall anything about it. Only the feeling and the hole its absence has left behind.
Dr. Maruki's medicine is going to help him.
It has to.
It must.
When a crow lands at Ren's feet, he decides to nurse it back to health. But doing so has unforeseen consequences.

Summary
There’s a thrumming coming from somewhere — loud, deafeningly loud, but Ren is the only one who can hear it. It takes him a moment to realize that it’s him: his pulse, his heart, his own rising understanding that something is wrong. “Akechi,” he says, strangled and smiling, “this really doesn’t matter.”
But Akechi is already reeling back, already buttoning his shirt, already gone — again.
“Ren,” he mimics, eyes flashing, “it really does.”
Ren lets details of his first time slip. Akechi doesn't think it's as harmless as he does.

“The hCG levels in your blood tell me you’re about a month along,” Takemi tells him, showing the printout full of charts and numbers that blur together. “Which puts you in prison at the time of conception.”
‘Or,’ Ren thinks in silent horror, ‘my body didn’t rewind all the way back to Christmas like we assumed.’
// Or, post-Maruki's reality reversing, some consequences stick. Ren is left to deal with it without his co-conspirator, all the while Akechi becomes Inaba’s Enemy Number 1 without ever having stepped foot in the town in the first place.

Summary
The lower levels in Mementos seem to cause more issues for the Phantom Thieves with every floor they tackle. The Shadows are stronger, the requests take longer, and each battle gets harder to shake. An ambush from the Reaper adds another complication to the mix: strengthened status ailments. Unfortunately, mental ailments often take longer to pick up on, especially when none of the Phantom Thieves have dealt with them lasting outside of the Metaverse. The worst part is that their leader can't remember if he's mentioned that something's wrong.
Or: Akira is hit with a stronger, longer-lasting version of the Forget ailment. After a curative, he recovers, the Phantom Thieves leave Mementos, and everything seems fine. Things fall apart soon after that.

Summary
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")

However long this lasts, though, he’ll deal with it. There are genuinely honest people out there who do. Bad liars, or they maybe even have a conscience. How they’ve survived in this world, Goro’s got no idea. Could be, they’re just good people.
Goro wouldn't know.

Summary
Goro Akechi walks across the creaking, dusty floor, disturbing an errant spider and disrupting a late sunbeam. For a moment he just looks at the figure on the bed, and then he exhales, walks to the unused chair in the corner. Brushes off the dust, moves it in front of the bed, facing Akira. Sits down. Watches.
(Akira sleeps. Akechi visits.)

Summary
Goro knows Akira Kurusu is dead, saw his blood spatter against the dark concrete wall in an underground interrogation room. Now Goro has one last job to do, one last mental shutdown. He’s not acting on Shido’s orders this time, only on his own initiative, his own justice.
This Palace’s ruler thinks of all of Tokyo as their own personal hell. While Goro descends through the levels of the inferno, each an eerie reflection of his own sins, a cognitive version of Joker acts as his guide.
With Joker by his side, he finally reaches the monster at the Palace’s center, a fallen angel chained within a frozen lake. But Goro’s not interested in stealing anyone’s heart. This last infiltration is about punishment, for a lifetime of unforgivable sins.
