The world of Persona 5 is different. No Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya = No Joker. So what will fate do to cover for this issue? Meet Takuma Shirase, the delinquent transfer student in this new retelling of Persona 5. From new or familiar characters, to the new perspective that this protagonist takes on this woorld that he lives in, join his journey as he conquers Palace for Palace with his version of the Phantom Thieves. (P.S. Corny description, I know. I'll try to make the quality as good as possible, but of course for those who read my 70 chapters of Bleach: New Generation, you know its not guaranteed, haha. Also, sorry for the bad quality cover) (P.P.S. Not gonna bother adding images...BUUUUUUUUUUUUT if you just send a link to one, I'll probably add it based on the context of the chapter...but don't send me weird stuff) Oh yeah, did I mention I also post the same story on AO3? Well, there you go. Anyway, Enjoy!
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. This is a passion project that sprung to mind while driving, and now I'm hyperfixated... Welp, time to churn out a book. ENJOY READING IT!!
