Set 2 months after the events of Advent Children

Because of Cloud Strife's victory against the Remnants and his old nemesis, Geostigma is slowly fading away from the planet of Gaia. The sick are getting cured, and everything is slowly turning back to normal. Everyone is okay... except for Cloud. 

It was supposed to be a normal day. He was just going to finish up deliveries and visit Zack for a minute. But little did he know... that day would change him forever.

His arch-nemesis has returned, and has found a way to bring him to a new world. A world filled with rotten adults and suffering children.

Not only that, his past mistakes and failures are haunting him. Reminding him what it was like to be weak, alone, and unable to save anybody.

That is, until he met a particular group of teenagers.

Now, he must adapt, stay strong, and find a way back to his home as he explores not only deeper within himself, but along with the worlds of Japan and the Metaverse as not only an ex-mercenary, but as a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Persona 5: Infinity [HIATUS][UNDER EDITING] by DarkRose--Chan
72 parts Ongoing Mature
{Cover by me} Infinity /ɪnˈfɪnɪti/ a number greater than any assignable quantity or countable number. ******* In a world ruled by desires and corruption, shrouded with mysterious and unexplained incidents that terrorized the country, a group of young hearts rose and bloomed, fighting the unmerciful current of injustice and unfairness. The young Ren Amamiya was like a prisoner held captive by his own heart, like a caged bird trying desperately to break free from its cage and flap its wings, soaring freely in the sky. Condemned for a crime he didn't commit, thrown behind bars, hurt by his own parents, expelled from his school, bullied by his classmates, and looked at as scum by the eyes of society. In a whim of fate, he met Emiko Hayashi; a girl with an untold secret locked away within the depths of her soul who fell deep in the abyss of the darkness of her own heart and made an unspoken vow to herself to suffer alone in the blackness of inequity. Destiny played its unpredictable games and pulls its strings. Gods pulled their Red String Of Fate, causing the meeting of these two emotionally-broken teenagers after Ren moved away temporarily from his hometown to Tokyo, attending Shujin Academy. Then getting involved in a once in a lifetime case, solving the mystery of the cases that were terrorizing the country and changing the society that rejected them. They both got involved deeper with each other, flipping their worlds upside down. Genre(s): Action, superpowers, vigilante, drama, mystery, romance ©ATLUS. ©SEGA. ©RAND TALIH.

Rated #1 FF7 (On October 21, 2018) #1 cloudstrife (On October 27, 2018) She always wanted to see the shimmering glory of the celestial stars, to feast her eyes on their majestic scintillation. But her dream was beyond the stars, above the nocturnal sky. Her dream was to see herself in His eyes... but how could that be, when she could barely even see his face! What gnawed on her even more was the doubt... doubting the possibility that he even noticed her. Little did she know that she was the only girl that his eyes could ever behold... Only in her eyes could he see his stars... Cloud Strife x Reader ____________________ FanFictionFreak16 : "Best Cloud x reader story I've read so far!!!"

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!!

And what about the boy who sat behind the phantom their leader and didn't tell a soul? What if he wasn't so passive, but instead worked the courage to join Akira and the thieves? Wouldn't it be a totally different story? Started: March 03, 2018.
