Summary
A New Game + AU in which only Persona users can remember the previous timeline. The catch? In the previous timeline, the Phantom Thieves came too close to the truth after they decided to explore Mementos, so Yaldabaoth reset the game, but decided to prevent Akira from entering the Metaverse at all costs in order to ensure humanity's destruction.
A newly revived Goro Akechi finds he has little other option but to team up with the remaining Phantom Thieves, and is elected leader against his will. Will they be able to get Akira's memories back, help Goro escape Shido's wrath, and destroy Yaldabaoth for good?

Summary
“You’ve got… amnesia?” he asked dully.
Goro nodded, surprised at how easy this was.
He should’ve known, in hindsight, that nothing in his life ever got handed to him this easily, especially not with Joker involved. Not with these sharp eyes on him, attention undivided to read things between Goro’s lines that no one else had ever been able to catch.
“I see,” Akira finally replied and there was a hint of spite in his voice, unmistakingly, a hint of spite Goro wasn’t allowed to call out because he couldn’t risk giving away that he knew him well enough to recognise it even now. “Well, that explains why you never called, honey.”
To escape his past, Akechi decides to pretend to have amnesia. What he didn't expect was for Akira to retaliate by pretending to be his boyfriend.

Summary
It is really fucking inconsiderate of his soulmate, Goro seethes, not letting him know that his murder plans will fall through.
Well, murder and suicide, he supposes, sitting on Amamiya's bed with his arms crossed as the thief falls apart next to him. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"
"You're telling me?" Goro shoots back. "I had a very romantic double suicide planned for us – and you went ahead and ruined it!"
Goro knew for months now that he would have to kill his soulmate. He made his peace with this decision; has made the necessary preparations.
Ren knew for months now that his soulmate would try to kill him. He just never expected said soulmate to kill himself right after.

Summary
June, 20XX.
Each passing day brings new challenges, and each passing day brings his plan closer to fruition.
So, who cares if he keeps remembering things that never happened? So what if there are eight Phantom Thieves, rather than the three he expected? And so what if their leader has proven surprisingly adept at avoiding him?
None of it matters. A new game is starting, and Akechi Goro is going to win it.

Summary
“You want me to arrange my own death.” It’s pathetic, that this is how his life works. So pathetic that the only thing left to do is laugh about it, about the way that he must die and never be happy, no matter what.
Igor laces his fingers together and leans forward. He’s every talk show host Akechi has ever spoken to, every interviewer who has smiled and told him how impressive they find him. “I want you to make the right choice.”
--
Or: Ren makes the wrong choice. Akechi tries to set it right.

Summary
Akira comes down with hanahaki disease, but fortunately, there’s an easy remedy: confess your love.
Unfortunately, there’s absolutely no cure when your love is your mortal enemy, and also completely insane.

Summary
Two years since the re-set of reality, Goro is truly is living as freely as one can. Which means staying far away from Akira. His rival, his comparison point, his may have been friend, his may have been...well, it’s no use living in what could have been. Goro needs to be able to move on from all that occurred, cut off the pathways which drew him to destruction and almost killed him several times over.
Except, when he discovers a secret, he is dragged right back once more.

Summary
“Is this how he sees him?” Akechi mutters, more to himself than Ren. “The leader of the Phantom Thieves, just a dumb rat in a trap?”
I’m a mouse, actually, Ren says — tries to say, dangling precariously in the air, tail still caught in Akechi’s fist.
In Shido’s Palace, Akechi comes across a mouse who looks suspiciously like Ren.

Summary
Inexplicably, Ren dropped to one knee.
Goro's mouth fell open. "What the hell are you doing? You don't know who's been walking on that floor. Or where their feet have been."
Ren paid no mind to Goro's words or to the other shoppers, who were starting to gape at the two of them. He looked solemnly at Goro. Then he said, "Will you marry me?"
Goro pinched the bridge of his nose. "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me."

Summary
Ren is the first to clear his throat. “So… Bringing you along did help?”
“Joker,” Morgana calls hysterically, “are you saying that out of all people, the Black Mask is your soulmate?!”
Well. Ren is pretty sure it was the Black Mask who said the words, not him, but he still kind of ends up nodding, but also shrugging because what the fuck.
Soulmarks are found on everyone’s left arm; the first words your soulmate will say to you.
Usually, this would make meeting your soulmate a relatively easy task.
Ren doesn’t have that kind of luck.

Summary
The interviewer grins. “Oh? Do you think you could fall for anyone who catches the Phantom Thieves?”
“It would require a certain level of intellect to find such vigilantes,” Goro Akechi says, eyes shining. “I would be quite interested in getting to know a person who is capable of such a feat.”
“You heard it here first – whoever unmasks the Phantom Thieves will win Detective Prince Akechi’s heart!”
With a prize like Goro Akechi’s affections on the line, Ren Amamiya has to win, no matter the cost.
Even if his team doesn’t really agree with his goals.

Summary
Akira Kurusu is dead.
Goro knows this because he can see him. He’s standing beside the bar, miserable and translucent, his posture tight and eyes faded dull. He flinches every time someone suggests going back to the ship to get him, presumably because, like Goro, he knows what they’ll find. He wonders if he’s real— he assumes he can’t be. Ghosts aren’t an actual thing that exist, and it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch for his own mind to finally have fucking cracked after a day like today.
It doesn’t matter. Either he’s finally snapped, because Akira is dead and it’s his fault, or he’s being haunted because Akira is dead and it’s his fault. The difference, in the moment, feels semantic.
(It's not like it's bad having him around. And if he's right and Goro can bring him back? Well. He's not going to get his hopes up.)

Summary
He refused to leave Akechi here to fucking die in the bowels of his asshole father's ship. He'd give anything. He'd beg, he'd pray, he'd switch places with him, he didn't care, just please, someone—
"I have the strength you seek, voleur de coeurs, but your heart is not yet prepared to hold me."
Agony pulsed from his temples and lanced down his spine, thorns lodging between every column. Fire seared through his veins, charring into his fingertips. He choked on smoke and ash in his lungs.
Akira dropped in time with the gunshots he didn't hear over the sound of his own screaming. His knees cracked against the ground.
He remembered this sensation.
This was so much worse than Arsene.
I say: "Watch me save him."

Somewhere along the road, the Phantom Thieves have failed to realise that no one ever actually told Sumire their past with Goro Akechi.
Their reaction to his murdery sense of humour makes a lot more sense in hindsight. Oh well.Bookmarked by Zeina435

The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking
Fandoms: Persona 5

Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

Summary
…holy shit you're hot.
Akechi – Goro? Can Ren call him by his first name already? …better not, not yet – blinks, and tilts his head as trying to place the stray thought Ren just projected into his head, like he’s been projecting his own thoughts the whole time.
Is he…? No, there is no way.
In a world where you hear your soulmate's thoughts when you first meet eyes, Ren and Goro have a rather different start.
