Having fallen into Cradle merely two months ago from my hometown in London, I decide to continue living my life within the confines of the Black Army Castle - a luxury I enjoy because I've been able to get away from the drawling, routine life I lived back in the Land of Reason. I make friends with the lieutenants, including the King and his second in command troops - one of which, is a Clemence. Though the name seems ordinary, I discover that it's anything but the sort. That both Luka and Jonah Clemence, brothers who vouch for the Black and Red Armies respectively, are considered divine royalty in Cradle, and that their lineage precedes them to be one of the most grand reputations in all the land. But with such a profound influence, comes dangerous and devastating consequences. Jonah and I, by means of coincidence, become closer and closer, and our fates intertwine, along with our hearts. All of a sudden, I am no longer just a regular girl who fell into Cradle. Instead, I am an omen, a woman who becomes hunted by the very lineage that Jonah and Luka desperately wish they could defect from.

Osamu Dazai is a hitman and a detective, and he wants to rip Shido limb from limb. And after Goro Akechi died and nearly took the other Wildcard with him, the Detective Agency agrees: Masayoshi Shido's life is void. --- Takes place starting the day after Akechi's Engine Room scene. Possible endgame spoilers. Expect shennanigns

Today was the day of all days. Valentine's Day. And after everything Ren and I had been through: countless Palaces and escaping death at every turn, it was our first holiday to spend together. ....but what could I possibly do to surprise him?

I've been an Ace Detective all my life. My name, Goro Akechi, is one that's so popular nowadays, I'm considered a celebrity, despite being only 18. The cases I've worked on up until this point have been small, but worthwhile. Then all of a sudden, Japan becomes riddled with crime. Unique and volatile deaths begin popping up everywhere, and I'm assigned to the cases. The more I discover, the more blood is shed, and my life wading through small-time criminals disintegrates into a dangerous game of cat and mouse that leaves me on the edge of reality and dream, teetering on sanity and psychosis. At all costs, I must support justice, and persecute the culprit. Even as I continue to lose myself in the process. But then I realise, the very devil is the transfer student in my class named Ren. With his addictive eyes and enslaving demeanour, he becomes so entrancing... That I must pull myself together and take his heart, before he takes mine.

I've always been greedy, a man that sits on the sidelines and watches with silent, hungry eyes, waiting for you to realise and saunter your way to me. I sit and wait, as patiently as a dog, for you to come back to me. For you to finally, eagerly, choose me. But every passing day, you don't. I'm not a simple man - I'm complicated, holding intense feelings and burdens in my heart; and watching you choose him over me, brings me a cold, bitter sadness that I lock away. I keep it hidden behind an aloof smile, bound with resentment and anger, but masked with comedy and sillyness. I am the mutt of the Sohma family. The one who would come running to you each and every day in an instant, if only you 'chose me'. But still, as the weeks and the months pass on, you never do. So I sit, and wait. Like I'm told. Eagerly hoping to catch your gaze one more time. But each chance is always fleeting. Always a failure. Then one day...I refuse to wait any longer.

Ren Amamiya returns to his hometown and makes a new deal. Goro Akechi awakens in the Velvet Room with his soul-bonded missing. Arsene is released and immediately sets off to find the truth. And the threads of fate twist and weave from afar, forever watching. --- (Shuake's in the background, but sorta not in the background... it's like the driving force.) Warning: endgame spoilers, and languages, and blood. I do not own Shin Megami Tensei, Persona 5, or any of the characters from it. This storyline is mine, though. If I'm going to get sued, please PM me, and I'll take this down. That's all! Enjoy!

Back then, I had narrowly saved Goro Akechi from death. I remember it well, how close I was to losing him not only physically, but also mentally. His plot for revenge had shaped him into a weapon, designed to murder countless lives for the sake of his own retribution. I got him through that, and with some patience, we discovered a relationship that fell beyond the boundaries of friends. But it didn't last forever. His last words to me were his refusal to watch me serve jailtime for the crimes he commited at the Phantom Thieves expense. Before I could argue, he left, allowing Sae Niijima to take him in. But now, all of a sudden, my days change. Akechi and I both have a choice, one that will shape our future forever. The question is...what do we really want? Justice, or freedom?

You just managed to save Akechi from an impending doom inside Shido's Palace. Now, out of worry and care for Crow, you convince Sojiro to take him in. But living with the troubled detective isn't that easy...

I have but one goal, and no one will keep me from achieving it. I will burn my stepfather, Shido, to the ground with my bare hands. In order to further this, I decide to befriend the Phantom Thieves. I spend time with them, befriend them, laugh and joke with them, and even strategize with them as we dodge in and out of Palaces, taking hearts where we please. But I never lose sight of the real reason why I'm using them. We get closer and closer, and Ren Amamiya, the leader of the group, peaks my interest. We finally become friends, and suddenly, something changes. I must choose what side to stand on, and whether or not using the Joker and his friends is still my destiny.
