Summary
Everything is supposed to end at one point. One's story can be either a good, happy life or a tragic and lonely one. It all depends where and when you stop watching it. When you watched it all, you realise that what you thought at first is wrong, because you didn't have all the pieces to see the whole clear image. And that's why somes wish they could turn back time, riding onward the road of glory and ruins, foolishly hoping to right their wrongs.
And one of them is this dumbass delinquant Akira Kurusu. -
Tags
Summary
Akira Kurusu was supposed to be dead.
Except, fate had allowed him to live and the chance to fix things this time. Fate was allowing him one more chance to bring justice to light.
And maybe save someone else in the process.

Summary
Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira.
No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.
(Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.)
(Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)Translation in Chinese now available on privatter and AO3 courtesy of coakira2!

Summary
After reliving the year 2016 about 300 times, life is nothing more than a game to both Akira and Goro.
It begins the same, and no matter how much they alter the journey, it always leads to the same result.
Who cares about morals and consequences at that point? Might as well make the most out of their perpetual hell.

Summary
Gabriel Reyes wakes up on the side of a dirt path with no recollection of how he got there in the first place. Wait, didn't this happen already?
Something foul is afoot, and weirdly, he already knows what. What he doesn't know is why he has to go through it again. For the first time? Whatever.
(This is a non-canon New Game Plus version of LegendaryBard's Out In The Big Wide Woods wherein Gabriel wakes up at the beginning of the fic with all the memories of having lived through the fic. Author permission, approval, and blessing has been obtained. I literally spoil the end of OITBWW in the first paragraph so if you haven't read OITBWW, not only are you going to be lost but you're going to have...pretty much everything spoiled.)

Summary
The Great Dilemma was not about inevitable conflict between organics and synthetics. That was a lie. The truth was far grander and at the same time far closer. The races of the Galaxy had one name for it: Mass Effect.
And he was going to have to fix it.
As a 10-year-old.
Well shit.

Summary
Kotone Shiomi was just a regular transfer student at Tokyo's Shujin Academy.
All she had been looking to do this school year was stick to her studies, make new friends, and maybe spend some time with her girlfriend Aigis. She most certainly had not been looking to fall into a castle, meet a gaggle of strange masked teenagers, and become a founding member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
Hey, that was life, right? Right? But couple all that with the strange looks she was getting from one of her fellow transfer students, and the scattered visions of a boy in a yellow scarf that seemed to dog her steps...
And well, maybe Kotone Shiomi wasn't quite as regular a transfer student as she might have thought.

‘Just having an existential crisis, I think. I’m not too sure if that’s what this is.’, his cape flaring a little for dramatic affect. He can hear Yu nod in approval in the background. Sothis has her hand to her forehead.

“Please tell me I’m at least an attractive log.” “You are,” Yu helpfully adds.

You can throw her American football style, Yu inputs. Or like, a child-sized javelin.

“Different worlds have different rules,” Igor inputs. “In the one that you originated from, ‘magic’ only exists in one’s mind. That is the reason Personas and magic exists in the cognitive realm, because it is its own type of ‘magic’.”

Summary
“The influence of The Phantoms knows no bounds...I underestimated it, honestly.”
Goro knew how to do this strategy quite well. He would throw out some simple words of praise, and then soon, he would have Kurusu eating out of the palm of his hand. However, like with most things involving Kurusu, a problem occurred in Goro’s grand plan.
“So, what do you think of their name?” Kurusu asked.
or
Akira runs through many new game pluses (or whatever the plural of plus would be) in order to see Goro's reaction to all of the team names he can think up.

Breaking the Rigged Game by Lord_Tenebros
Fandoms: Persona 5, Persona Series, Persona 5 Royal
23 Nov 2022
Tags
Summary
Akechi had had every intention of shooting Ren in the interrogation room and claiming victory over his rival after setting him up for capture at Sae's palace. It was supposed to be so simple - he would go in, shoot Ren in the head, arrange the scene to make it a suicide, and then leave to carry out the next parts of his plans. But Ren, who's looking far too calm and collected for someone seconds away from death, invites him for one last conversation at the table. As a last gesture of respect, Goro agrees to this request...starting off a chain of events that completely derails the rigged and twisted game that a megalomaniac dictator and god have tried to trap them in.
And all the while, Goro cannot figure out the enigma that is Ren Amamiya, and how he knows far more than what should be possible...

Summary
Amamiya can't remember the last time he cared. Turning thirty-nine years old and being stuck as a seventeen year old repeating your second year will do that to you, he supposes. The six months of Juvenile Hall beforehand, and the year of life-or-death combat against a god is simply the cherry on the fuck-all sundae.
(The long awaited remake of Edge of Tomorrow, the 22 chapter long collab fic in which Ren Amamiya is trapped in a timeloop of the entire year (and six months if you count juvie) that Persona 5 takes place in.)

Summary
Akechi had outsmarted the Thieves, he had won. That's as far as he got before everything started spiraling out of control. It was on his own deathbed that he wished for a miracle, a way to change fate. Being given an undeserved second chance wasn't exactly what he planned but he'd take it. Now he's reliving 2016 again, trying to change the outcome and save a certain Phantom Thief's life. He's living on borrowed time from an unknown source for an unknown price. But that's okay, the second he made that deal with Shido years ago he started living on borrowed time. He just hopes it lasts long enough for him to accomplish his goals.

Summary
Amamiya has the face for sly smirks, an air of a devil-may-care charm that makes the hair on the back of Goro’s neck prickle and his nerves zing with electricity.
Goro thinks he might be in love with him.
That he has always loved him.
---
Ren's years end where they begin, on a train heading to Tokyo on April 9th.
He is not who he was, not quite. He's lived too many lives, died too many deaths, mourned too many loves. Yaldaboath twists the world each time the cycle starts anew and neither Trickster nor God could say what the world they first came from looks like anymore.
Ren starts the year over in a timeline doomed from the beginning and decides he's needs a rest. A short vacation before he skips ahead to the next year and the next chance to put an end to Yaldaboath once and for all.
Goro Akechi has other ideas.

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
This wasn’t a second chance, this wasn’t a redemption, this was Goro playing the only card left in his hand in a desperate bid to take Shido down with him before he had to fold. Fuck the election, he was killing that asshole the second he could get a bullet in his brain, and if that meant playing nice with the Phantom Thieves -- well, he’d done worse than that before.
He closed his eyes against the light. Dying, he thought, would’ve been so much easier.

Summary
There's Akechi, bandaging his wounds in the dusty summer evenings with gentle hands; Akechi, reading the English aloud for his sake; Akechi, with undue viciousness, tearing at the shadow that had threatened them.
"Don't worry," he said. "I won't let them touch you." But oh, they're not the ones he's afraid of.
There's no Haru, this time. No Makoto or Yusuke or Ann or Ryuji or Morgana to tell him that he's making a mistake (again) and he'll regret this (eventually) and this won't end happily (or peacefully); no, it's just him and Akechi and a list of palaces to rip through in record time. What did they call it? Thick as thieves?
Akira tries to remember what he's here for.

Bookmarker's Notes
NEW GAME PLUS — Akira goes through the game once more. But isn’t very good at dealing with the time travel aspect. He has his friends all suspicious of him. But hey, at least he gets Akechi right. 😂
THOUGHTS — An All Time Favorite! Ahhh this awesome! I’m glad I was able to catch it! It’s kind of like a mix of P5 and P5R. Like, no Maruki or Kasumi, but lots of bonding with Akechi! That’s not the important part tho. This is the kind of time travel where not much changes big-picture wise (at least until later in the game). But that’s fine because it’s mostly character-driven. That is, while the plot is fun and all. It’s really the characters that make this shine. The author has taken a very unique perspective to this whole thing. Akira is still Max STATS and everything. But he’s just very bad at hiding the fact that he’s a time travel. And his friends are suspicious of him because of it.
That’s the whole driving conflict of the story. Not whether or not they get a happy ending. But what the characters will do after certain things come to light, etc.etc! It’s my favorite kind of fic! And what’s more. It’s written very well! The pacing is well done too. It glosses over things that we know and only spends time on the things that changed and are of interest. The author’s prose is also very engaging. It’s easy to read and the language flows well. Oh! And you can’t forget the drawings! They add such a unique touch to the whole fic. I honestly don’t know how they’re able to draw and write so well but they do!
Definitely recommended! Would read it again myself soon too!
1ST REREAD THOUGHTS — Same thoughts as before really. I enjoyed the fic a lot! It’s unique take on NG+ is very interesting, as it explores Akira’s mental health in quite a bit of depth. Gets quite angsty in the end tho! Watch out for the feels!

Summary
There are those who'll tell you some things are set in Fate. That they are immoveable and predestined regardless of times unending flow. There are also those who'll claim that there is no such thing as Fate, that such a being or force is a lie told to those without a will to try. There is a Goddess who will tell you that Fate is very much real. But not as all powerful and unchanging as one might believe. There comes a time when those who've seen Fate play out time and time again grow sick of the unchanging, they scream at the top of their lungs and demand the intervention of Destiny to create their own future. Not because they're a Goddess, but because once upon a time before that she'd been a mortal.
Or, a time travel fix it fic where Byleth goes all the way back in time and with the help of Sothis saves her mother. Chaos and the changing of the future ensues.

Summary
Akechi’s smiling, and the barrel of the gun shines brightly as it presses against Akira’s temple. The metal’s cold, strangely impersonal, considering Akechi’s standing so close to Akira. Akira can feel the heat of the detective, the traitor, feeling the tremble of his hand as the gun digs a little deeper into his forehead.
Akechi smiles.
Akira can only think, for that brief moment, about how sad that fake smile is.
A bang.
Loud, it rings Akira’s ears, stings the skin of his face with burning embers.
The world goes to a peaceful, blissful, black.

New Game Plus and such a beautiful one at that too.
Poly Thieves, with Futaba being a sister, not a lover (And yet, the close-ness of all of them is making my heart go warm.)
