Persona 5: Ghost Protocol - Book 2: Fractured Realms
The truth isn't just distorted. It's weaponized.
The Phantom Thieves are riding high after toppling Yamada's empire, but Tokyo isn't done with them yet. As society teeters on the edge of collapse, so do the bonds that hold the team together.
Sora Uchiha-codename Ghost-is no longer just a shadow in the system. He's a full-fledged Phantom Thief now, wielding his haunting past like a double-edged blade. But with Destinyland smiles fading into the storm of a mental shutdown crisis, the gang faces public scrutiny, moral doubt, and the emergence of darker forces hiding in plain sight.
Old enemies return. New allies emerge. And somewhere between justice and vengeance, the line begins to blur.
This isn't just a battle of hearts anymore.
It's a war for what's real.

Phantom Show
Ren's return from juvenile hall finally gave the Thieves the chance they had to talk about why Mementos still exists, despite Yaldabaoth's fall. When they return to investigate, Ren is acting more and more brash and reckless, and Makoto worries it may have something to do with Arsene and Satanael's odd lack of a 3rd tier evolution. Or they thought it was a lack. When the Reaper ambushes them, it turns out that it was about to meet its match. And it was as dangerous as it was suave. It's name? Raoul. - Vanilla P5, with the 3rd Tier Personas from Royal. Slight canon divergence, because the Metaverse stays around after Yaldabaoth's fall, with mention of other palaces as well, and Joker wields twin knives, not just one. Gameplay divergence because the Reaper is an ACTUAL THREAT (like in Striker's, god the Reaper is tough in Striker's) Shumako, Other changes to the lore, like Haru works with Ren in Leblanc, Sojiro adopted Ren, Persona's can communicate with their User's in the real world, and a few other little tweaks and stuff. Persona 5 is an awesome game, and I couldn't resist making something. Anyways, hope you like! -DigginComplete

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.

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.

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?

Ghost
Ghost follows the story of Luna Starr, a girl whose life is altered forever after a quantum experiment at the age of seven leaves her with a rare condition called Molecular Disequilibrium. Her cells are in a constant state of destruction and regeneration, granting her the uncanny ability to phase through solid objects and quantum shift across short distances. Seen as both an anomaly and a potential weapon, Luna is swiftly taken by a shadowy government agency and spends the next eleven years trapped in a high-security facility-studied, isolated, and forced to suppress her humanity in favor of becoming something controllable. Everything changes when Luna receives a mysterious letter, smuggled through the cracks of her prison, and addressed directly to her-a letter from a long-lost family friend who still believes in the person she is, not the thing she's become. The letter ignites a dormant spark of rebellion within her and forces her to confront a terrifying question: if she has the power to phase through walls and shift realities, why hasn't she used it to break free? As she begins to unravel the truth about her condition, her captors, and her own resilience, Luna must decide whether escape means finally taking control of her fate-or tearing apart the fragile threads of a life she barely remembers.Complete
