"The medicine is poison, but it makes them numb."
Joker is the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Strong, dependable, reliable. Unbreakable. Akira Kurusu is a trauma victim, times over. Eventually the two things merged, and created a storm. A storm Akira likely won't survive.
A/N: I'm back at it again with angsty shit. I've had no inspiration to write and life has been hard lately, so here's a new story to refresh me, and look into Akira's past and future.
WARNINGS: Mentions of drugs, suicide, self-harm, all the lovely stuff. Will do individual warnings on chapters.

My Key Item (Joker X Futaba) Persona 5 Royal
After months of getting to know and love Futaba Sakura, knowing that she is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with, it's all ripped away by one man. Takuto Maruki has decided that people cannot be allowed to think for themselves, and that they should never have to feel pain, well, unless you interfere with his plan. After being thoroughly trounced by the Phantom Thieves, Maruki makes one last ditch attempt to break the theives, and kills Futaba. In his blind rage, Akira Kurusu, otherwise known as Joker takes matters into his own hands, and stops the mad God in his tracks. Time reverts to its original self, with Akechi dead and gone and Maruki and Futaba alive and well, and Akira in Juvinile Detention. After being freed from prison, he finds out that something went wrong when the timeline was restored. Futaba knows him not as her lover, but merely as his friend. Now Akira must find a way to cope with this new life in Hometown, while trying to juggle the return of the Metaverse, and Futaba tries to find her way through the complex feelings she has for Joker, but can't quite explain, as well as the dreams that almost feel like memories. Will she push through and recover her memories and her love? Or will she and Akira both fade into the Mementos of what they have lost. I took a couple liberties with events and the Timeline, but overall, I stayed fairly close to the original game's story.
