Summary
a chance encounter with a drunk man in a dark alleyway one night led yang xiao long to lose three things;
- her reputation, but that was a slope she’d come to realise was a blessing,
- her family; again, nothing to cry over there,
- and her arm. that was a stark loss.labelled a delinquent and forced with a year of probation, she’s shipped off to renowned atlas academy with one singular goal: make it through the year without getting into trouble.
nowhere did they say to avoid reforming the shitty adults one by one by entering their minds and forcing them to repent. neither did they tell her not to fall for a woman that could lead her to her downfall, or her salvation, simply depending on her mood.
but hey.
at least life is more exciting when you have a personification of your psyche that can hurl fire at your foes. it’s just a pity she can’t use her extracurricular activities to skip classes.
[ or: the persona 5 royal found family au, in which yang xiao long is thrust into a city— and a power— she knows nothing about, and the famed, elusive detective blake belladonna is hiding a lot more than she lets on ]
