Phantom Thieves of Hope is a crossover fanfiction combining two of my favorite video game series: Danganronpa and Persona 5. It centers around the main protagonists from the Danganronpa series forming their own version of the Phantom Thieves. You can read the original story here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/343137490-phantom-thieves-of-hope-a-danganronpa-x-persona-5
This spinoff is inspired by the newly released mobile gacha game Persona 5: The Phantom X.
In The Phantom X, there's a concept called Phantom Idols-cognitive beings formed in the Velvet Room based on the protagonist's perception. These cognitions are shaped from individuals the main character knows, has seen, or interacted with in some way, especially those with strong or once-strong desires. Since they support the protagonist like idols, Merope, the game's Velvet Attendant, refers to them as Phantom Idols.
These Phantom Idols use Persona Duos, which are Personas created from Shadows in Mementos and the desires within the protagonist's cognition.
In essence, this spinoff is an anthology of short stories featuring various characters from the Phantom Thieves of Hope universe reimagined as Phantom Idols. They assist the Phantom Thieves in their missions and are granted Personas and Phantom Thief identities they didn't have in the original story.
This is a non-canon, just-for-fun side project that gets updated alongside the main fic.

Identity V x Danganronpa
(Fanmade between Identity V and Danganronpa -The Crossovers- READ DESCRIPTION FIRST!) "True Desires Comes With A Price. And that's something the survivors and the hunters won't ever forget as Monokuma, their headmaster, turned the game into something all together. Something where Despair is more powerful than Hope, or perhaps it's the other way around?" Note: I do not own the background image, nor do I own Identity V and Danganronpa, it's all based on fan-made. P.S: A Completed Story! Protagonist: Lucky Guy (But I'll also add in some other character's P.O.V as well) Although, feel free to give any suggestions on what you guys think of this story! Even if you don't know anything about Danganronpa, it's originated from a killing game with students attending Hope Peak's Academy, but only this time~ The survivors and the hunters from IDV will be joining this round as well~! So no pressure if you don't know anything about Danganronpa! This story is mainly based on mystery and entertainment. And~ AND~ I'll also add some (little bit, not alot) comedy romance to it just for fun, but it's not guaranteed an official ship! SO DON'T COME HERE BLAMING ME THAT I HAVE THE WRONG SHIPS BECAUSE I DON'T WRITE ROMANCE-Y SHIPS! PERIOD!! AND THANK YOU!!!Complete
An "Average" Life, School and Student
DISCONTINUED - AU Where all main DR characters are alive and attending Hope's Peak together! Makoto Naegi is the protagonist, because Makoto naegi. Have 14 minutes to spare? Read this! (NOT A HAREM. I PROMISE) it'd be kind of you to leave a vote on at least one of the chapters because I spent a really long time on this description and it'd be slightly embarrassing if I got no attention lol --- A/N: This has been rotting in my gdrive for, like, a year and the longer it exists, the less I want it to be there. I will gift it to the cesspool that is the internet so that I can delete it and free up a few megabytes. (And also because I want a bit of validation for my former obsession) By the way, I'll go back for editing if anyone comments about an error 06-03-2022: Thanks @ venestisia for the vote, I can now forget about my wattpad page forever 06-05-2022: Just here to let you know that this has #1 in #danganronpaau with 50 views. SO yeah, I'm a future New York Times Bestselling AuthorComplete
