When the Metaverse makes an unexpected return in the form of Jails ruled by Shadow-selves known as Monarchs, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are called back into action once more to reclaim the Desires stolen by these Monarchs from innocent people all across Japan alongside a very much alive Goro Akechi, as well as new allies, such as the mysterious and highly advanced AI known as Sophia, the intrepid Public Security Inspector Zenkichi Hasegawa, and even older, more experienced Persona-users such as the small town boys and girls comprising the Inaba Investigation Team, and even the government-backed Shadow Operatives, who might just have a job offer in store for the Phantom Thieves...

Of Phantoms and Thieves
The leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Joker, AKA, Ren Amamiya, is not in a good mood. It's been a year after the events that happened in Persona 5, and trouble has struck. Ren's parents have been arguing, and now they are getting a divorce. To find his own peace, Ren decides to return to Cafe Leblanc in Yongen-Jaya. But things seem to get worse, as he gets in arguments and finally decides to be a shut-in. The Phantom Thieves try to reach out to him, but nothing seems to be able to get to Ren. With a little bit of help, the group of teens manage to access the Metaverse that has reformed once again. And to their surprise, they discover a palace. A palace who the ruler is none other than Ren Amamiya himself. I don't own Persona 5 or any of its characters. Artwork displayed is not mine unless otherwise stated. (In this A.U, the events of Persona 5 Strikers/Scramble never occured. This is because I started writing this before it was even released, and I don't want to go back and rewrite this whole story. Besides, then it would contain spoilers from the sequel, and I don't want problems with that.)Complete
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts Pt. 2
This is part two of my fan fiction series titled, "The Phantom Thieves of Hearts," which is a reformatted version of a screenplay that I wrote a couple of years ago. This part focuses on the newly formed, Phantom Thieves, changing the heart of another cruel adult, who's a famous painter named, Ichiryusai Madarame, while trying to rescue the painter's pupil, Yusuke Kitagawa, from rumored abuse and mistreatment by this very painter. "Persona 5," is a video game that means so much to me and has definitely changed my life for the better so I dedicate this series to all of the talented people working at Atlus and P-Studio for making such a life changing game. I do not own any of the characters, locations and plot points from, "Persona 5" and any of the other, "Persona," games. All characters, locations and plot points from, "Persona 5" and the other, "Persona," games belong to and are trademarked by Atlus and P-Studio. I do not own any of the music that is in this fan fiction; all music that is in this fan fiction belongs to and is trademarked by the musicians of the music that is in this fan fiction.Complete

ꜰᴀʟꜱᴇ ᴡɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ | goro akechi
You are an ambitious young journalist working freelance for a major Tokyo publication, chasing leads on the elusive Phantom Thieves. You're smart, intuitive, and determined to uncover the truth behind the recent rise in mental shutdowns and mysterious confessions. Your latest lead? Goro Akechi-the charming, brilliant, and media-beloved detective prince who always seems one step ahead of the Phantom Thieves. When you confront Akechi at a press event with questions he doesn't expect, he's intrigued. Instead of shutting you down, he offers exclusive "cooperation"-he'll leak confidential information about the investigation to you... on the condition that you publish only what he wants you to. It's clearly manipulation, but the leads are real. You agree, partly to get closer to the truth-and partly because Akechi's mask keeps slipping when he's alone with you. Soon, you're locked in a game of shadows and seduction, uncovering pieces of a twisted puzzle that implicates him far deeper than you ever imagined. As tension builds between you, you must decide: Will you expose him? Or will you risk everything to save the boy behind the lies?
