#p4 akechi au

[megaderping]

It's the first anniversary since I began planning The Crow Cries at Midnight, my Persona 4 Akechi AU. It's also Pride Month. So, first we have a grumpy Goro dealing with some light ribbing about Teddie's contribution to his gay awakening. The other two are patron-requested doodles about tween!Makoto, as she'll be appearing in the August arc with Sae and her father. The older pic (right) was when I hadn't quite locked down a look for her yet. Teddie sure is... Teddie, isn't he?

[megaderping]

Aww, thanks so much for the fanart! LOOKIT THIS GRUMBLY BOY...

For this guy being the longest lasting interest in my life, I don't draw him nearly enough...

Featuring small doodles based on The Crow Cries at Midnight by Dorked on Ao3 and Faith for the second run by senblades also on Ao3 :3

Omg, this is so cute. Thanks for the fanart!

Reached the most recent part on a good fic and handling my thoughts in a very normal manner

Aka fanart for thr crow cries at midnight. By @megaderping

Baby akechi makes friends and gets a family and breaks the plot in half and it’s great I love it it’s very good Id reccomend. We love to see a 13 year old who’s stubborn as shit get into situations

I mostly do silly doodles because I haven’t drawn in a while so yeah lol (also bonus hannei because why not)

[beezonia]

so more for the Olympics au @39tn39 this is for you lovely

a combination of all casts

——

Fuuka and Yusuke know each other because they both dive

and they go to the same pool to train

Chie, Ryuji and Haru know each other quite well since they meet at world championships and continue to talk outside

Naoto and Goro have competed against each other so many times for top spot (so much so that Goro literally admires him so much)

Sae mentors both goro and koto but more so goro since she used to shoot (skeet shooting)

(sae got injured and it damaged her shoulder pretty badly and so she couldn’t compete leading her to take up being a coach instead)

Akira admires Mitsuru so much (he’s got her autograph plastered on his wall) He’s also trained with her once before (she becomes a mentor figure to him along with Zenkichi)

Shinjiro and Chie also kickbox together (although for chie it’s more of a hobby)

But then Shinjiro and Ann met because of taekwondo (shinji is like her mentor pretty much)

Yukari and Yukiko are teammates in archery

Kanji and Akihiko have passed on tips to each other (they go to the same gym)

Yu, Yusuke and Fuuka met because of the pool they train at (yu actually swims but he met them because they were watching him compete at a meet once)

ALSO!

Rise knows the 3 of them because of her synchronised swimming!

That’s about it for now!

Here's a post about my first au of 2024

P4 parents of P5 au (this needs a shorter title goddamn)

So it's. The Phantom Thieves are raised by the Investigation Team. Simple as that

Yu and Yosuke adopt Akira at age 5, after his parents give him up for being too much trouble. He loves his aunt Nanako, and uncle Teddie, and will eventually inherit the Narukami Family Secret; the rizz.

Chie and Yukiko end up raising two thieves, Ann and Ryuji. Ryuji's father is in jail for killing his mom, and originally the Takamaki's adopted him. Then, they got too busy with work. Chie and Yukiko fostered the two together for a year before officially adopting them at 3. They know they're not related but they're still brother and sister, and Ryuji dyes his hair this time to match his sister, after other Inaba kids make comments about her "foreigner hair"

Kanji is with Naoki in this one. You know, Saki's brother. The King's of the shopping district foster little Haru after her father is caught in an insider trading scandal, and she's adopted officially at 4 after 2 years. She's always got the cutest little dresses, which Kanji makes for her all the time. And, Naoki with his curly hair making sure Haru's curls are well cared for

Then. I had this in another au but. Naoto and Rise adopt baby Makoto, which is the incident that sparks the mass child acquiring among their friends. Sae visits from the city where she's studying, but yeah.

And, Wakaba and Sojiro? They run away before Wakaba is killed. They bring little Futaba to Inaba, move when she's like, 4, and find little orphan Yusuke along the way. They take in Goro after finding out he's Futaba's half brother when he's 12, so they've got the most Thieves Per Household (TPH)

It's got so many good little bits for it. Childhood Friends phantom thieves, the IT watching their kids grow up and be besties too, and. EVERYONE HAVING GOOD FAMILYS DAMNIT THEY DESERVE TO HAVE A GOOD HOME TO RETURN TO EACH NIGHT

Now, some little things I have for this au

Ryuji and Makoto were on the same youth soccer team in elementary school. Chie would pick Makoto up and Rise would drop Ryuji off after, and it starts the life long Jock Friends thing they have going. When they're at Yasogami, after sports clubs they go up to the roof and ramble about their gay crushes together

Haru and Akira are both part timers at Leblanc, which opens in the shopping district in one of the empty lots in the North end. Kanji and Naoki were betting about which of their shops she'd want to work at and both lost

Ann joining the Yasogami drama club, crushing on Shiho and so upset that she's in Ryuji's class instead of Ann's, being unafraid to tell her parents about liking girls because. They're lesbians, Harold

Goro, newly adopted, emo twelve year old, and. Futaba (10) and Yusuke (11) stare at him and decide that despite him being the oldest, they will call him Little Brother. Cause. He's the newest.

Sleepovers at the Inn, playing down by the Samegawa, just. So many good things. Comfort au.

i really dont know how to explain to you that it is canonically in character for narukami to look at two people murdered, all his friends nearly murdered, his goddamn cousin/sister figure nearly murdered, and still say "nah but adachis too important to me ill just sweep this under the rug for him" like how much more whipped could you be bro

[nero-vanderwolf]

“...Dad? What are you two doing?”

Aki glances up from the pile of dust he’s sweeping up. Shinji pauses his gathering of items to look at Ken and Goro where they stand in the doorway.

“Hey, you two. We’re cleaning up. Guests are coming over tomorrow,” Aki replies, a smile on his face. Shinji forces himself to continue cleaning up. If he spends any more time listening to Aki, he’ll forget what he was doing.

“Guests? Oh. Oh! OH!” Ken suddenly bounces up, a grin spreading across his face. “You mean-? They agreed? They’re all actually coming!?”

Goro looks at his brother, scrunching his nose. “Who’s coming?”

Ken pauses his bouncing to look at Goro. “SEES! Uh- a group we were a part of two years ago.” He gestures to himself, Aki, and Shinji awkwardly.

Goro raises an eyebrow, walking into the living room to fold the blankets scattered around. “A group? Of what kind?” He asks.

“Specialised Extracurricular Execution Squad. A Shadow-killing group formed by Mitsuru-san a while ago,” Aki says, sitting down on the sofa.

Goro frowns, but says nothing as he joins Aki. Shinji and Ken do the same, all cuddled up to each other. Goro is leaning against Aki near the armrest, Ken is squashed comfortably between Aki and Shinji. “I think you’ll like Makoto-san, Goro. You kinda act like him,” Ken mumbles, voice slowing. Goro huffs, cuddling further into Aki. “I doubt it,” he mumbles, yet it holds no weight. No malice.

Shinji just smiles. “Don’t worry. It’ll be okay.”

Goro says nothing. Neither does Ken, nor Aki. When Shinji checks, they’ve all fallen asleep.

He decides then and there that this is how life is supposed to be.

This is how it’s supposed to be.

i know this is probably not your intent but the fact you keep repeating "this is how its supposed to be" makes me feel like this is a maruki's reality situation and i am NOT ok if thats the case.

anyway. the goro meeting the SEES?!?! I AM SHAKING YOU BY THE SHOULDERS I NEED THEM TO MEET SO BAD!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!! mav feed me until persona 5 arena comes out. timeskip p3 meets p5.... im so excited im jumping off the walls

minecraft origins akeshu. if you even care

[megaderping]

Does a ship count as slow burn if the ship itself in the fic it'll happen in isn't slow burn, but you have to write a huge longfic to even get to the fic with the ship? Shuake in The Crow Cries at Midnight is basically this. xD I avoided the Inaba Joker headcanon very deliberately because it didn't suit the story I want to tell. With the way I intend to write their first meeting, it's far more meaningful if Akechi reaches out to a fresh on probation Joker as a stranger the way that Kanji reached out to him, showing that he's taking what he learned all those years ago and putting it into practice. But since neither of them is a Black Mask type figure, there are far fewer complications keeping them from getting together, and they can just... date, like normal teenagers and juggle that with the bigger plot stakes, including the fact that Ren is very much being tricked by an Igor impostor... So in the P5 fic, it won't be slow burn, but in the AU it definitely is in that Ren doesn't appear in the P4 fic at all and won't make his first appearance until I get to a whole other story. I am very excited to get to it, though. Lots of ideas. I actually wrote a version of their first meeting that I may post as a side fic/tease for things to come. Here's a lil' excerpt:

[luuxxart]

hitoshi art from recently bc I will probably not finish chapter 5/6 before September <3

[first one is for this playlist]

[sammywolfgirl]

More doodles! It’s mostly persona oc and au stuff

So we got Crow curse

A siren au doodle of akechi and hannei

The power of friendship means akechi will be fed this is a threat

A silly idea where hannei is like an attendant for Sho (it’s purely vibes idk if I’ll expand on this atm)

And then Yanagi and her shadow. She’s so mentally healthy <3

[nie7027]

Because I don't know if ill ever get to write this ai and I don't want this scene to be lost to be never read (especially because this occurs until a long way into the story) you get this brief scene of my all persona au:

"There will be a bathroom in your room where you can clean yourself if you so wish" Kirijo started saying to the man.

The man, Tatsuya, turned to her and if Goro thought Akiras face had been impossible to read those first months after they had met it was nothing compared to this.

Tatsuyas face was rigid like a stone as he nodded. It was as if after all these years the man's face had forgotten how to make the simplest of microexpressions.

"But before you go I need to ask, what can you tell us about this Philemon?", Kirijo asked, as always down to bussines.

"I punched him in the face. He trapped me in a post apocalyptic dimension crowded with shadows", the man said impassive. His voice, as his face, not showing a single trace of any kind inflexion despite the severity of his words.

The group exchanged glances between each other waiting for the man to elaborate. He seemed to think it wasn't necessary so he didn't.

After a long moment of waiting when it became obvious the man wasnt going to say anything else Kirijo spoke again

"Is... that so?" The CEO continued raising an eyebrow, trying to salvage what was clearly turning to be an unsalvageable situation. “Dont you have anything else to say?”

Tatsuyas stared back at her in what Goro guessed was his way of carefully thinking over through his next words.

"He's a little bitch", was all he added before leaving the room effectively leaving them all in stunned silence.

“Err...You must excuse him,” Aki- Maki (Godammit Goro get it through your thick head already) said apologetically, "Tatsuya-kun has never been good with words"

'No shit Sherlock', Goro thought to himself biting the insides oh his cheek to keep himself from voicing his thoughts.
