1 – 20 of 50 Works in Morgana (Persona Series)
Summary
No one, not even Morgana, knew why Akira’s power was so different from everyone else’s. Akira didn’t really mind the whole “learn as you go” approach, but as Igor granted him more power, he started to feel strange side effects – random fits of anger, melancholy, mania – without any obvious source. In a fit of inexplicable rage, he storms into Mementos on his own, only to be saved by another persona-user wearing a black and purple body suit…
Forming a tentative alliance, they delve into Mementos to discover the source of their strange, shared power, and begin to unravel a vast conspiracy, the cogs of which were set in motion long before Akira ever came to Shibuya.

Oh Alice, There's no Reflection in the Looking Glass. by intothefrisson
Fandoms: Persona 5
14 Mar 2023
Summary
What do you mean?” Ryuji tilted his head.
“It’s called Just Die. It reduces the SP needed for Insta kill skills like Mudoon or 'Please Die for Me' to zero.”
Ryuji and Ann blinked and blinked again trying to figure out what Morgana is trying to say. He watched as the gears churn in their head and they come to an epiphany, their faces growing horrified at the implications.
“Wait, you are saying. Joker can insta-kill literally everything in this palace. WITHOUT using SP at all?!” Ryuji clarified in astonishment because there is no way there isn’t a catch to this. “Without repercussion?!”
“Yes. That is exactly what I’m saying.”
Or the NG+ au where Akira knows more than he lets on, the Phantom Thieves start to suspect one of their own, and Akechi is in for a wild ride.

Summary
Why have one champion when you can have them both? A bet between gods that decides humanity's fate. Yadly knows that the outcome is certain, now with both tricksters under his grasp. Yet Humanities’s sponsor is confident. The ‘god’ of the velvet room does not sway. It’s incomprehensible.
Everything is going according to plan.
Isn’t it?
Akechi is certain that these upstart Phantom thieves rumors are of far greater consequence. He realizes this when the castle that once loomed over Shujin Academy was gone post-Kamoshida’s confession. Gone yet replaced, by something larger. Darker. He is certain it holds the final piece he needs for his plans. All he has to do is recruit one lonely boy over to his side.
One misunderstanding later and Ren finds himself isolated at school. Burdened by the rumors of his own past-and-present actions. He takes the hand of someone unexpected.
-
Akechi and Ren team up against the PT’s and Shido.

Summary
There’s something familiar about the boy that piqued Akira’s interest before he even caught his "pancakes" slip-up. A feeling that he didn’t quite understand in the moment, a rush of emotion that came and went as quickly as a bolt of lightning.
And it isn’t just because Akechi is a straight up hottie. Akira feels as if he knows the detective better than Akira knows himself, although he has no memory of meeting Akechi before today. Akira’s not sure what it all means, all he knows is that he desperately needs to find out.
Akira stops at the cafe door, turns to his tiny furry human friend, and declares, “I’m getting that guy’s number tomorrow.”
*** Akira catches Akechi's slip-up when they first meet. Now he just needs to figure out what to do about it. ***

Summary
The story was supposed to go like this:
That was the plan."Once upon a time, a lonely little boy, angry and vengeful and hungry for power, wandered into the manifestation of the collective unconsciousness.
In the deserted tunnels, he faced humanity's worst and resolved to burn its rotten core away until only chaos remained."
Until an accident in the form of a black mask happened.—
Or, what if Akechi Goro had a little more guidance when he first awakened his power, even if it came from the most unexpected source?
Namely, a black-masked criminal who knew a lot more than they let on, and a one-sided cat-and-mouse game that lasted two years and counting.Shelves: Persona 5

Butterfly effect (as in: The effect a literal butterfly can have) by SkerandaAo3
Fandoms: Persona 5
27 Feb 2022
Summary
Akechi had the perfect plan.
He had been trailing the Thieves through Shidos palace for hours. They were getting tired, but kept pushing on nevertheless. They only needed one more letter of recommendation to open the door to Shido, and Akechi would patiently let them do the dirty work for him. He would ambush them on their way back out, giving Joker his promised rematch and taking the letters for himself after proving once and for all why he was better than all of them!
At least that had been his plan before the Thieves started to lose their current battle. It was just a bunch of random Shadows, and yet they were making quick work of the Thieves. It was somehow not as satisfying to watch as he had imagined.
He watched them being taken down one after the other.
This wasn't good.
The leader of the Shadows raised his weapon to finish Joker off.
God-FUCKING-dammit!
Akechi leapt forward.

Summary
When Akechi showed up at LeBlanc's 8 months post-Maruki, I stayed with Futaba: I knew Akira's grief well enough that they needed to be alone.
But Futaba's been a different person since he's come back...
Ann left for those months, but her heart stayed with Ryuji and Makoto. But we've found out if something bad happens to a teammate, we all get a little crazy. And some of them are even angrier than before... At least Haru and Yusuke seem to be staying safe..
But this won't end with one fight! No one will admit that, but they all feel it. Everyone seems to be changing, and they're fighting even worse shadows than before. And Akechi still has to fight his cognition: a snapshot of his darkness from before, that Akira's mind had made, the only one that came through from Maruki's world...
But I'm starting to think they might be going at this all wrong.
So what do you wanna do? Are you gonna read?

(Akechi's Note: While the cat wrote this, going involves all the Thieves... And more. With an increase in darkness, there comes an increase in age: So be prepared for a mild amount of filth, a modicum of 'fluff', and more violence than even I'm expecting...)Shelves: Persona 5

Summary
From a young age, Akechi Goro was forced to accept that life is not fair. When the world is full of injustice and seems determined to throw that in your face at every chance it gets, what are you supposed to do? Sometimes you just need to tear the whole damn system down.
Meanwhile, Kurusu Akira just wants his friend back. He never meant to become a delinquent, much less the leader of the Phantom Thieves, but he supposes he’s never been very good at staying out of other people’s business.
(A soulmate au where writing gets transferred to each other’s skin. As a result, they become long-distance friends… until Akechi lets his jealousy and anger get the better of him, that is.)

Forewarned is Forearmed Anthology by VampireBadger
Fandoms: Persona 4, Persona 5, Persona 3
11 Jul 2021
Summary
Anthology containing:
Forewarned
When Akira Kurusu is ten years old, his parents die in an accident.
One year later, he comes to Inaba. He doesn't expect to find family there, and he doesn't expect to find a hidden world of monsters inside the TV.
He finds both.
Four Birthdays
When Akira is eleven, he comes to Inaba, finds a family, and makes a home. When he is sixteen, he is arrested and taken away from Tokyo.
In the years between, he grows up.
Four birthdays, four presents from the people he cares about.
Forewarned: Arena
Set between Forewarned and Forearmed, covering Persona 4: Arena, and Persona 4: Arena Ultimax.
A few months after Yu leaves Inaba, he comes back to spend Golden Week with his friends.
Akira's looking forward to seeing him again. He is, really. Except that now they've all been dragged into a fighting tournament in the TV World, and he's not sure what he's going to do if he has to fight Yu.
Dance
The summer after Akira's first year in Inaba--the year of fighting Shadows in TVs and learning what it means to be a Trickster--he finds out that sometimes fighting isn't the only way to deal with Shadows.
Sometimes, there's dancing.
(Covering Persona 4: Dancing all Night)
Forearmed
When Akira was eleven years old, he came to Inaba, where he fell into a TV and awoke his Persona for the first time.
Five years later he is arrested and shipped off to Tokyo. There, he finds a Velvet Room that doesn't seem quite like the one he remembers, Lavenza missing, and a whole new world of Shadows--and this time, there's no Investigation Team to help save the day.
He never could learn how to stay out of trouble.
Forewarned: Inaba
Akira comes to Inaba when he's eleven years old. When he's sixteen, he's arrested for an alleged assault, and in another month he'll be sent away from home, stuck in Tokyo for a year.
...unless he can find a way to clear his name first.
A what if spinoff of my Forewarned is Forearmed series, where Akira is never sent away to Tokyo.
Foreborne
A bit of backstory for my Forewarned is Forearmed series, exploring the lives of Akira's parents before their deaths.

Dost Thou Even Steal Hearts? by BukuBuku
Fandoms: Persona 5, 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
03 Jul 2021
Summary
“Foolish mortals!” Yaldabaoth’s shadow fell over them like a death shroud, “The sin of rebelling against a god is severe. As punishment, I banish you to other worlds unknown!”
Something changed in the air, like the snap charge of electricity after a thunder strike. No, this was more than that. The world shifted and changed and contorted, the weave of fate was unnaturally pulled by the God Of Control, creating fractals in the flow of time and space.
Joker’s teammates gasped as bizarre, otherworldly doors came into existence.
One, a pair of silver doors with alien markings, cracked open just a hair to reveal a large, terrifying eye. Another, a glowing paper door that would be at home in any vintage Japanese mansion. The third, a grand golden gate decorated with eyes and horned demons, bubbling black sludge dripped from its maw like tar. The final one was a fluctuating cloud of purple and black mist.
