Kotone Shiomi was just a regular transfer student at Tokyo's Shujin Academy.

All she had been looking to do this school year was stick to her studies, make new friends, and maybe spend some time with her girlfriend Aigis. She most certainly had not been looking to fall into a castle, meet a gaggle of strange masked teenagers, and become a founding member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Hey, that was life, right? Right? But couple all that with the strange looks she was getting from one of her fellow transfer students, and the scattered visions of a boy in a yellow scarf that seemed to dog her steps...

And well, maybe Kotone Shiomi wasn't quite as regular a transfer student as she might have thought.

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!!

50 parts Complete Mature

Akira is called back to Tokyo for summer vacation plans with Ann and their Phantom Thieves family. Only things don't go as expected when they find that the Metaverse has returned and random changes of heart have been happening all over the country. And a strange cop wants to cut a deal with the gang to find out why. There's also a new friend in the form of a sentient A.I., who claims to be humanity's companion. She's an incredible achievement, who wants to learn more about the human heart, but... Where did she come from? And can the Phantom Thieves help her understand what it means to have true strength of heart? 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 have been paired with OCs. *Disclaimer: I do not own Persona, this is merely a fanfiction*
