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...

Shapeshifter - Persona 5 by ILiveOffOfFanfics
8 parts Ongoing
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 === #11 in #akirakurusu! (2/4/24) Thank you very much! === ⚠️TW: depressive/suicidal/anxious thoughts, PTSD, panic attacks, nightmares, swearing, ill try to warn you guys on specific chapters if it's a lot more. Cover by yours truly! (This is the newer and updated version of my previous story under the same name. I do encourage you to check it out though, at least the 1k special, as it has some extra art I made for the story :3)
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!!

Vengeance Thief by Nata_KARU
21 parts Ongoing Mature
The Cognition of individuals and society, with those reflecting on how they perceive the world leads to places called Palaces. A Palace is a manifestation of "distortion", strong negative or corrupt thoughts that warp the perceptions of people into a hazard for themselves and others. As such, some people can view things how they want to depending on their cognition. One person known as Suguru Kamoshida, is a teacher at Shujin Academy who views the school as his own personal kingdom. He is a lustful, vain, cruel, and utterly selfish bully who abuses his female students emotionally, physically, and sexually, even going as far as pursuing a toxic relationship with ones that he had hooked an eye on. As for the male students, he subjects them to an utterly ruthless training regimen that many of them compare to torture, and will even use as punishment if his team loses a game. As such, he is an utterly cruel and diabolical person until a group stops him known as the Phantom Thieves of Heart. Sick of the deception, hypocrisy, and corruption around them, the Phantom Thieves are devoted to "stealing" the corrupt hearts of evil adults in order to change and reform society for the better. After taking down Kamoshida, their population slowly grew more taking down one target after the next. Before long they were known as a famous group working outside of the law. The Personas they use are formed by individuals who find themselves in the Metaverse and are dealing with feelings of frustration of being wronged or taken advantage of. Each Persona is different for each member of the Phantom Thieves each passing unique and special powers. Things seem to be going well for them until a new issue occurs as it leads to a new member joining them known as the Vengenceful Thief. Who is this and what kind of Persona does he or she have? Find out in this story. 1# Persona 6 Nov 2022

One year after the events of the defeat of Yaldabaoth, the God of Control, Akira Kurusu, now 18 and a former outcast and leader of the Phantom Thieves, has reverted back to being a normal student.

Thankfully, Morgana, a talking cat created by the man of the Velvet Room, Igor, to assist Kurusu is with him as well. While his parents have an okay, yet distant relationship with Kurusu, and the distance between his friends is large, he still manages to keep in touch with the rest of the Phantom Thieves, missing the good old days with them. In another world, an empire filled with corruption is teetering on the brink of ruin, slowly growing even more disgusting with the Prime Minister's selfish actions. A group of Assassins called Night Raid are rebelling against the Empire, hoping to change it for the better. But the corruption is running deeper in most of the empire, forming extreme distortions that Night Raid can't face themselves. It's time for Joker, Leader of the Phantom Thieves, to return with Mona, this time in a whole new world filled to the brim with distortion and rotten hearts to change in the Metaverse. But will the rebellious trickster be willing to kill his targets like the Assassins can? Or will he succumb in the face of ruin like he's never seen before?
