Akuryo; It might as well have been a name to him. Well, now it was, anyway.

All his life, Ren has known one simple fact: As a shapeshifter, he would never be welcome in the world, never seen as anything more than vermin at best, and hellspawn at worst.

But when his attempt to do the right thing lands him in more trouble than he realized, he decides that what seemed like a fatal mistake might be his last chance to leave everything behind. To start over.

Simple rules are set: Trust no one, stay alone, and stay alive. Then, once the year is over, live a quiet life as a normal human.

But as friendships form left and right, fears demand to be faced, and the world unravels at its seams, there's only one thing that's clear:

Ren thought he knew by now what fate had up its sleeve, but it seems it's decided instead that it won't be that simple.

===

A retelling of P5R featuring a race of mystical humans with the power to shapeshift into any one animal. Our trickster, of course, is one of them.

Currently on: Kamoshida's Palace

My Key Item (Joker X Futaba) Persona 5 Royal by Rydernort
26 parts Complete Mature
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!!

BEING REWRITTEN BY A NEW AUTHOR! (@b4ts1e) !!WARNING!! This story talks and revolves heavily around very sensitive topics such as; abuse, rape, cheating, death, depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, and abandonment. There are a few more other than the ones listed, but if any of those can cause you mental instability or to spiral down into a panic or anxiety attack I advise you not to read this story. You have been warned. Extra Story Details: Redstrings: At age 16 people get their redstring(s) to their soulmate(s). They can write on their skin and it will show up on their soulmate's(s') skin aswell. If one soulmate gets hurt, the other(s) will feel a small tinge on where the injury is, and a soulmark aswell {example: star, heart, etc.} Colors: Red-Normal, Black-Cut string, White-Other died Hanahaki Disease: Being the result of one-sided love, Hanahaki makes the victim cough or puke out flowers in the color(s) of their love interests' hair. If the love insterest doesn't love them back before it's too late the victim will stop breathing due to the flowers in their lungs. The only way to get rid of the disease without the love interest returning the feelings would be the victim getting them surgically removed, resulting in them loosing their emotions entirely. Star Tears: Another result of one-sided love, much like the Hanahaki. However the person will cry star shaped tears that make twinkling noises when hitting the ground. This is not removable, meaning the only way to stop the victim from going blind would be for the love interest to love them back. Copyright: I do not own My Hero Academia or any of it's cannon characters. The only thing I own is the story, and additional characters.

Life Will Change

90 parts Complete Mature

All it took was one attempt to help someone in need, and Akira's life went completely down the drain. But not all is lost. For while serving his probation in the city, he'll find new friends, and even his soulmate... And all the while, learning of his odd magical powers, and his true purpose: to become a terrific thief. "The world is not as it should be. It is filled with distortion, and 'ruin' can no longer be avoided. Those who oppose fate and desire change... from time to time, they were referred to as Tricksters. You are the Trickster... Now is the time to rise against the abyss of distortion." Warning: The source material for this story contains some subject matters I am not accustomed to writing. Many of these things are unavoidable, as they are necessary for story context. There is a more complete warning inside, should you need it. Heavy swearing is involved and some mature themes, but no smut will be added. As for how much will be included from the story and subplots, depends on whether or not it will be mentioned/needed/explained later. Ships: - AkirAnn/ShuAnn (Akira/Joker X Ann/Panther) - Haruji (Ryuji/Skull X Haru/Noir) Some other characters will be paired with OCs. Now then, let us start the game... *Disclaimer: I do not own Persona, this is merely a fanfiction*
