1 – 15 of 15 Works in Persona 5: The Royal Spoilers
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
Akechi wakes up in the Velvet Room after dealing with the ruler of Royal's final palace.“Welcome to the Velvet Room,” the man says, gesturing with one of his too-long arms at the unstable space around them. His voice sounds surprisingly kind and wizened, and it should probably be reassuring, but it just serves to put Goro even more on edge. “I am Igor, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
“Wha-“ Goro tries, but his voice is shaky and small in a way that makes him sound years younger than his actual age – which is unacceptable, and he has to swallow hard, before he can try again. “What- where is this?”
“This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter,” the old man says, as if that’s actually an explanation.

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?
-Mona
(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
“So I’m to be bait,” Akechi says flatly. “You’re serving me up.”
Ren can feel the grin on his face, and he can’t stop it. “I gotta open the store tomorrow, I only serve coffee.”
“Absolutely idiotic. Why would I agree to that?"
Ren shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the movie theater wall, smiling. He’s feeling light on his feet right now. It’s been a bad day, but the end is nice. “Call it penance.”
“Penance for what,” Akechi says.
His smile stays where it is as he glances away for a moment, then meets Akechi’s eyes again. “Being yourself.”
