#uncle Adachi AU

[luuxxart]

there’s always like. seven

also. under the cut, bonus Nanako persona from my fic and you believe at heart everyone’s a killer bc I just never drew Suseri-hime before now

[m0e-ru]

yeah I haven't dropped the cringe just yet yeah im not free yeah I should talk about my au more I wish I was just as innocent and shameless as I was in 2020 it could be so easy it could be so fun yeah. when I said adachi ans the attendant should be friends I really meant it and I really do mean it

[reeseironi]

gang is there an au with no personas no murders just yu moving to inaba and he makes awesome friends and lives with his awesome uncle and awesome cousin and has awesome dinner with said uncle and cousin and also adachi? and the four of them become a family? anyone?

[beezonia]

So the investigation team in the fairy tail au is basically a bunch of young adults trying to figure out where to go in life now they can walk on their own two feet

most of them have only recently joined the silver screen guild (rise/kanji/teddie) some have been there for a while (yu/yosuke/chie)

You’ve got a former idol, a delinquent who used to have ties with a dark guild but managed to get out before things got worse for himself

there’s a former heiress who guards the shrine close to the guild, and her best friend who’s known to get into scraps with people who hurt her best friend (and is known for biting of more then she can chew physically and metaphorically)

The Silver Screen guild is packed with people from all walks of life! It may be smaller then most but it’s a strong guild.

——

Yu returns to his uncles guild to spend the summer in the small countryside town of Inairi (East of Magnolia)

Not knowing things were about to get a little bit weird once he meets Tohru Adachi the guilds newest member

Yu’s magic is named “Clarity Share” it allows him to find different pathways for different scenarios he might get into and share them with others to get opinions on what they show and how they should go about it (sort of like the glasses the route to your true self is a way to describe it)

——-

So he meets his old friends makes a bunch of new ones, gaining the trust of mages after being away for so long again

helping many find their true selves and kickstarting their new stories (much like cannon!)

Then the murders start happening.

Dojima warns most of the guild not to go out without each other in case they get outnumbered and killed themselves

so teams begin to form, the investigation team is one of them

And that’s where our story begins for the p4 cast

But will it be to late for them to save Inairi from doom?

———-

I haven’t figured out everyone’s magic yet, that’s gonna be a heck of a thing

but take my ideas I guess

Rise has a siren song type magic

kanji’s is to do with poison

yukiko a bloom type magic

chie - definitely an offensive type magic

Yosuke - healing magic

naoto - another sort of detecting magic

teddie - I’m not even sure where to start

——-

[symphonic-scream]

Anyways since I'm writing an au for once I think it's the perfect time to post about another

Persona 4 Magic au

So those of you who follow me or recognize me (hi!! Welcome back!!) Well you might say "Scream"- that's me, -"you have a Persona 5 Magic au, is this the same universe?" And my answer is

Uh. Sure. It can be I guess

Anyways let's talk about shit

Yu Narukami is a witch. His parents were both magic users, but had outer sources of magic. As a witch, Yu can cast spells and shit with the magic within him. His parents are going abroad for a year and send him to live with his uncle in Inaba, with a catch

His uncle knows nothing about magic, so Yu had to pretend to be a normal human for the whole year

He's never had to hide his magic before, so it'll be a real challenge for him. But, he's willing to try

...yeah it doesn't go well

When he shows up, he can already feel magic within the town. There are magical beings present and almost immediately, someone turns up dead in a mysterious fashion. No one else can see the gills on the woman's neck but him, or so he believes

Yu becomes fast friends with a few kids in his class that really stink of barely-hidden magic.

Yosuke Hanamura, with his prominent canines and his suspiciously homemade juice boxes

Chie Satonaka, with her boundless energy, knowledge of the moon, and her love of meat

And Yukiko Amagi, who stares so oddly. He doesn't have much evidence for her yet, but he will

Then, a third year turns up dead. Yu sees the little horns on her head when he sees her on TV the night before. Another magic person is dead.

Then, Yukiko goes missing, and everything gets started

Okay that's it for me talking like that I'll lay out what the plot is and what everyone is and shit

So basically. Adachi is a seer, a human who can tell when someone's magic, and he finds out that the entrance to Mirror Inaba is in the TV. Plus, every monster he tossed in, died. So he sets up a plot to get monsters kidnapped and shit cause "they're subhuman anyways, I should be allowed to have fun with them"

Yu Narukami is a witch, as I said

Yosuke Hanamura is a vampire! He was a born vampire, but his mom is human so. His traits are real watered down. He's fine in the sun and can eat small amounts of garlic, but he still drinks blood

Chie Satonaka is a werewolf! There's a small werewolf pack that's been in Inaba for generations, and she's a member. Born a werewolf, she's really connected with her animal self, and is in control during full moons

Yukiko Amagi is a Fox Selkie, but her coat is an abnormal colour due to the fact that her grandfather was a Kitsune. As a fox she's mostly dark red with a white belly, eyebrows, and tail tip, but her paws are black, as are the tips of her ears. She can make vague illusions, and her coat stays locked with her mother's at the inn

Kanji Tatsumi is half Oni. His mom is human, but his dad? Full Oni. He has an older brother that lives with his dad, since both of them can't hide their demonic traits. Kanji looked human enough as a kid, but he's just started sprouting his horns and his teeth are a little larger. Plus, he's real tall and big

Rise Kujikawa is a daughter of Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of Love, beauty, music, dancing, pleasure- you get the gist. Her mother is her birth parent cause I said so. Her grandmother is a potions master, and Rise has decided to learn the craft as well

Naoto Shirogane is the youngest of the Shirogane Animal Shifters. The bloodline has been watered down over the years, to the point where the only animal form Naoto can take is a snow leopard. His markings are closer to blue shades than whites and blacks, and there's a little butterfly spot right on his chest

And Teddie is from Mirror Inaba. He is the only conscious being there, and grants protection to the team when they go to save people. He's not sure what he is, but he looks like a bear. Maybe.

Anyways yeah. Monster crew. Please ask me about this I'm proud of it

[transnaotozine]

Our first moderator is our art mod, @luxuriantegg! You might know him from his webcomic, The Penitence Fog, or his Uncle Adachi AU! His smooth linework and warm colors are what you've been seeing on our graphics and carrd!

Applications open on June 15th!

[nero1forte]

ok “adachi guy” what're your plans for him in the au

this feels threatening LMFAO

but for my au he’s gonna be the hierophant arcana :3 he’s gonna be like an uncle/older brother figure for the new Fool (not saying who it is yet) and he’s gonna be very silly + NOT a killer !!!

[rimeiii]

KagePro binge honestly making me revisit my Souyo Kagepro AU fic so I'm just. Going to flesh out the world properly here!

The fic in question btw, it was originally a very Yosuke-centric fic and is heavily based on Ayano's Theory of Happiness. I teased a sequel back then based on Lost Time Memory, and I have an idea of how I want it to go, but brainworms have not started again shshshsh. Hopefully this little worldbuilding helps get them going again lmao

The Heat Haze is a phenomenon only found in Inaba, and is accessed through the televisions in Inaba on the 15th of August, every year like clockwork. The only way to enter this world is for someone else to push you into the television, either willingly or by accident. While stuck in this world, you'll be tormented by your Shadow, and the only way for you to return back to the real world is to accept your Shadow. But don't take too long, because the portal closes once the day rolls over to the 16th of August, and by then your death is assured. If you managed to accept your Shadow, you'll be brought back to the real world and will be rewarded with your Eye Ability, corresponding to your true desires.

Yosuke has an adoptive younger brother in Teddie who's around a year younger than him, and they moved to Inaba while Yosuke was in second grade. Much like in canon, Yosuke was bullied because of his relation to Junes. He tries his best to make sure Teddie doesn't get the brunt of the harassment - all Teddie knows is that people are mean to his elder brother.

The Hanamura siblings were home alone and doing a little bit of playful roughhousing when Yosuke accidentally pushed Teddie onto the TV of their living room. The younger Hanamura disappeared into the screen, causing Yosuke to panic, only for Teddie to reappear an hour later, his eyes now red and looking shaken up. The date was August 15th. Yosuke was in fourth grade. And years later, he still blames himself for the incident, even though Teddie has already forgiven Yosuke a long time ago.

It was around this time that Yosuke started to become friends with Chie and Yukiko. And Yosuke, being the innocent and naïve boy he is, asked the two about the red eyes - and that was how Teddie was eventually integrated into their friend group, as the three with the red eyes helped Yosuke deal with the constant harassment from his peers.

It didn't help that Chie and Yukiko, both having red eyes, were bullied and harassed for it endlessly. The same thing had started to affect Teddie, as per the younger Hanamura's admission. So, they decided to stick together and support each other, Yosuke asserting that 'red is the color of a hero', and them using their abilities to help him and each other.

Anyways, let's talk eye abilities. Teddie's wish was to be able to cheer up Yosuke - which is why his Eye Ability is to be able to influence people's emotions through his words. His relatively innocent and simple mindset allowed him to reconcile with his Shadow easily. Meanwhile Yukiko and Chie entered the Heat Haze by accident, after a childish argument leading to them pulling each other into the TV. Reconciling their differences, it became clear Yukiko only wanted to be able to listen to Chie because she feels Chie's tendency to physically fight back could be dangerous to her, while Chie just wanted to protect the people she cares about. It translates to their Eye Abilities - Yukiko can soothe people's emotions with her presence alone, while Chie gains super strength. Chie and Yukiko were in third grade when this happened.

Kanji, Naoto, and Rise were pushed into the television by Adachi, Yosuke's uncle who took in the Hanamura siblings when their parents passed away, in a desperate bid to figure out how the red eyes worked to try and get rid of it once and for all. Kanji only wished to be able to not worry his ma because of his desperate search for an identity - this translated to his ability to sense other people's emotions. Naoto only wished to be more skilled in her detective work, seeing it as an out for the harassment she receives in the force - this translated to a limited ability to listen to other people's thoughts. Rise only wanted to be able to live a normal life, true to herself without the media on her back - which is why her eye ability is a lot like Kido's (invisibility).

Yosuke and Yu are the outliers. Yosuke gains his eye ability after forcing himself into the TV World, firmly believing he is the only one who can save Kanji and Naoto (and Rise too, but at the time he only knew the two to be targets). He faces his Shadow but couldn't make it in time to leave the Heat Haze, where he is forced to watch everything unfold in the real world by Izanami. She sees Yosuke as a symbol for humanity's tendency to ignore the truth, as Yu had chosen to not believe Yosuke and his story regarding the red eyes. Yosuke's eye ability, stemming from his wish to be a hero and save everyone, is the ability to see into other timelines.

Meanwhile, Yu somehow got his eye ability from reconciling with his guilt. Ever since Yosuke entered the Heat Haze, Yu has had dreams of Yosuke flinging himself off the school rooftop, his eyes red. Finding it in himself to apologize to Yosuke and accept his words as truth made Yosuke able to pass on an eye ability to Yu. His Eye Ability, stemming from a desire to be able to see the truth for a happy ending, allows him to act on Yosuke's Eye Ability, directing everyone to that elusive happy ending only they can see.

Except it wasn't really Yosuke who gave that Eye Ability to Yu. It was Izanami, who still wanted to believe in humanity. The dark part of her had sent an envoy into the real world to corrupt Adachi, seeing no point as to why the Red Eyes should exist if the Heat Haze merely claims lives and those who escaped the Heat Haze had to live in constant harassment either way. But a tiny part of her wants to believe, to trust - which is why she allows Yosuke to have the slightest bit of influence in the real world, which he uses on Yu.

[raylaandcallum]

saw you reblog about the headcanon of Adachi being Joker’s uncle and like.

Same.

I need more of it

can see so many AUs such as maybe where Joker is sent to inaba instead of Yu and has to be babysat by his uncle adachi but then turns out he’s the mcfucking culprit 😔 or really just an AU in p5 where Adachi’s case is dropped due to the lack of evidence and he gets involved with the phantom thieves, I find it so funny; I want them to kick ass together they are literally so unhinged and Adachi would be a bad influence how are they not related FR FR me everytime Joker sass I’m reminded of Adachi’s sarcasm sass ✨🧍

Hello fellow persona enjoyer!

Yes to all of these!!!

Mind you, i dont know p4 endgame yet, but adachi after probably jail or whatever goes back to the city like he always wanted and opens a coffee shop. And akira gets sent to him. He figures out the phantom thieves pretty quickly and feels like he just got a big dose of karma, but decides to support them and work on negating akira's record. He would be the chaotic uncle everyone loves and goes to for advice

[chibitantei]

Temperance, Family Edition | v: We Could Be Immortals; Just Not For Long

An AU where Adachi was friends with Naoto’s parents and was like her weird uncle.

Disclaimer: the Adachi referenced here is my friend’s specific Adachi. I won’t write this verse with any other Adachi muses, even in a multiverse setting.

There’s not a lot that has been plotted for this AU, but as you’d expect, this post will be updated with the needed information, and be tidied up. This will more or less be the main reference point for the AU.

Again, this is a very request only AU.

The part where I give a brief rundown

Adachi met Seiji, Naoto’s dad, in high school. Then they met Kei, Naoto’s mom, while they were attending the University of Tokyo, or Todai, for short. You can say that Adachi was like Seiji’s cringe wingman in making it so they would actually go out, but this is all besides the point.

There was a miniature little Persona case, so Adachi was the Fool and held the Wild Card, Seiji fell under the Justice arcana, and Kei was Strength. This is also besides the point.

When Seiji and Kei finally had Naoto, Adachi helped take care of her, especially when they were tired or needed to go on cases. Unfortunately, Naoto’s parents are doomed by canon, so they died. It affected Adachi and Naoto, to the point where they withdrew slightly from each other as they kept reminding each other about Seiji and Kei. They reconnected, had some little Persona adventures, and Naoto acquired her Persona there. The injury wasn’t major, but Naoto got hurt on one of these outings, and Adachi stopped taking Naoto with him.

As Naoto kept moving forward to prepare for her role as a Shirogane detective, Adachi and Naoto spent less time with each other, but they’d still meet up once in a while. However, much like the first time, their bond was beginning to weaken. During one of her cases, Naoto got hurt because she’s what we call stubborn and reckless. Her grandfather forced her into a hiatus for a year, and she would stay with Adachi.

Also unfortunately, this place was Inaba.

parts i’m not clear on but i’ll put here anyway

Adachi and Yu are both investigating the Inaba case, however, Yu leads the teens while Adachi has the adults. Neither group really knew anything about each other until Naoto got thrown into the TV.

Since Yu isn’t really privy to Naoto’s conflict about her parents death, her Social Link with him is under the Fortune arcana, but to Adachi and her ‘canon’ arcana for this AU, it’s Temperance.

Has some Adachi-isms, but is not nearly as annoying as Justice!Naoto.

Naoto is still 15-16, and has Sukuna-Hikona as her Persona. Due to the fact that she hasn’t summoned him in years, the connection was pretty weak and you know, Shadow business.

I think the Shadow was a mix of canon and then things about her parents, but I have not gotten that far in thinking about her.

Honestly, there’s probably not much difference between here and canon, but I don’t want to randomly drop headcanons for this verse without zero context.

Dojima is not the killer in this verse, unlike the Justice one. lord help me when i write about that one.

[pikabysss]

Haha! Funny, I got the game on switch too. But that's an interesting au... I'll go to your ask box to ask some questions about it 'cause I'm a curious cat like that. :3 (and I don't want the reblog chain to get too long, lol)

But, yeah, I thought of Adachi's toy gun immediately, too, and Ruby would help him get a name for it. (Danger Rubber, or something like that.) And calling Adachi an emo, good lord, I just pictured him with persona 3 protag haircut and it's just... TvT

And Hilda, the wine aunt!? Yess! She acts so drunk. XD For Gordeau, however, I would picture him more like another uncle or a paternal figure. He got so much dad energy that I understand why you made him your oc's dad. And Ruby calls him old in their interaction.

But, I made a short comic about my vision of their dynamic some time ago (too bad it's a furry version of them, because I do a furry au for everything I consume, but I'm going to show it anyway.)

Gordeau doesn't like being called old, though, so asking for Ruby to call him "bro" instead of "gramps" (or whatever she calls him) would fit his character. No matter what, he gives off cool dad energy to me.

Honestly, I don't know how many people will see this or even understand what I'm talking about, but it have to be said...

Blazblue fans, Persona 4 fans, more specifically, the ones who's a Adachi x Hazama enjoyer... Yes, I'm the one who made that damn over 100 000 words fanfiction of that ship on Ao3. It has quite a few hits (around 1800), so I'll assume there's at least one person out there who likes the ship and is roaming on Tumblr. So, humble apologies for being THE one who had to deliver. My writing was extremely clumsy at the time, and I can be slow... but I found in my stuff a TON of doodles of them (as well as a dedicated notebook). Reason: I doodle to fight against writer's block.

So... are you, wanderer, perhaps desperate enough for more content to push me on posting those doodles? For me, they're embarrassing as frick, but I like to make myself suffer, and if anyone is in dire need of more content about... this odd ship, I will post them as compensation for not writing a lot those times around. Deal?

Oh! Also...

This is canonically what happened in the epilogue of the fic.

PS: I know this isn't my only fic of them. :/ But, gosh darn... o///o

Nah, seriously, I'm so effing weird, wtf? *^*;;

Anyway, show whatever kind of support on this post if you want more of this ship (Hazachi)! Gyaaaah! I need somewhere to act like a crazy fangirl, guh! They're my fav toys to play with...

[luuxxart]

it’s always sunny in the takeba family

[m0e-ru]

ooo adacchii abunai kiwotsukeru kuma

[rebelli0us-mask]

❝  just give the word and i’ll kill every one of them.  ❞ [ yakuza au ]

FOR THE “YOU CAN KILL ME BUT DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THEM” DYNAMICS

"D-Dachi-ojisan. I don't think that's gonna do you any good. I'm just gonna get transferred again."

Something he was used to since elementary-- Mainly because of his involvement with the Yakuza and parents' concerns about it. However, this reason was for a different incident. He had gotten into a fight and brought a knife.

While he was at fault for bringing a knife to school-- Let alone stealing from one of the clan members, Akira seemed unscathed compared to the bullies who had attacked him first. Usually, it would be the opposite, he would be beaten up in order to not cause any trouble at school... But he finally snapped when it took too much to bear.

Rumor had gotten out that Akira was raised in a yakuza-owned orphanage-- And you could only imagine what rumours spread. 'Friends' he had made had avoided him for their own safety. But he was a civilian who happened to be raised in an orphanage run by them... Akira knew not all Yakuza weren't what people thought they'd be. They treated him like family-- Not your conventional one. But family either way.

Even the signs of bullying were prominent... None of the school faculty or the principal would step in to stop it. Akira could only assume they were afraid that the Clan would do something to the school; which was most likely to happen since Adachi Tohru; The Mad Jester was technically licenced as his 'guardian'. since no other member didn't want to put their name down for some sickly kid.

"I did land a few punches and kicks... If that makes you feel any better! I'm that not that strong, which is why I stole your dagger. My bad." But he didn't even use it. The kid wasn't read for prison life at 15... Because of the stories from Adachi about his friend who was staying there for another couple of years.

[beezonia]

also my brain has been thinking of the fairy tail au as well so take a little bit more information on the p4 cast specifically

it’s wordy, be warned!

——

Yu and the rest of the team are like mid/late twenties (P5 gang are early twenties P3 are early/mid thirties)

Most of them share small houses together because it makes rent slightly easier (Yukiko has the inn)

Yosuke and Yu are rooming together

Kanji and Naoto share

Rise and Chie are together

Teddie lives in a small cottage near the guild

——

Magic! (I’ve already explained Yu’s check the fairy tail au tag if you want more on that!)

Yosuke - Healing Wind - can summon winds which both heal those who get swept up in them or can damage them if they get harsh enough to toss people in the air

Chie - Devil Kick - Her kicks are extremely powerful (her muscles tend to harden when she uses her magic so the enemies get like 10x damage because of how strong she is usually and then adding that on with it)

Yukiko - Blossom Boom - Her magic allows her to create small or large bloom type bombs that will burst into flames after hitting the ground (like a five second chance to get away before they explode and sometimes the loose petals will set on fire)

Kanji - Poison Finger - yeah his fingers can let out a small or large amount of poison depending on his energy levels. (High energy means your more likely to be okay, low energy means you’re probably going to die)

Naoto - Revealed - Naoto’s magic allows him to see through magic disguises or just any disguise and force the magic user to come to light (also his magic just gives him a keen eye)

Rise - Siren’s Guide - Rise’s voice can guide those she doesn’t want to hurt to safety and those she must hurt into a tiring trap!

Teddie - Dress up - the opposite of Naoto’s teddie’s magic allows them to cast disguises and change someone’s feature depending on a situation (nonbinary teddie anyone?!)

———

So they end up being one of the main teams from the guild to investigate the murder alongside Ryotaro

Some have their suspicions it’s the newest mage of the guild Adachi

Tohru’s magic is called - Jester - Allows him to create copies of himself and use them to distract others with all sorts of tricks (harmful tricks)

and so they start to follow after him and his history and it all sort of comes to that

——

Yu, Yosuke, Chie and Yukiko have known each other a lot longer in this, since Yu traveled to Iniari quite frequently to visit his uncle

So they’re like a group of their own until the investigation team gets formed

Rise and Naoto are good friends already since they know each other from magnolia (rise technically was part of the blue pegasus guild before)

Kanji managed to get out of a dark guild before it was to late thanks to Ryotaro and he’s been with the silver screen guild ever since

——-

Yu and his aunt Chisato have a very strong bond and it’s filled with bad jokes and stoicism (same for yu and ryotaro) she also teaches him how to play the flute, Nanako is learning how to play piano like her mum

————

Nanako doesn’t have her magic yet, but it’s more likely to come in a moment of extreme panic or stress for her (like how it did for her parents)

She’s good friends with the phantom warrior’s guild Akane!

——

(this kinda counts as actual headcannons for p4 but it’s still valid in the au!)

Ryotaro and Chisato actually had trouble conceiving Nanako (they were about to give up on having a child all together)

Ryotaro’s sister, Yu’s mother , Himiko was actually going to try persuade them to try once more (she saw how sad they were) until she found out about Nanako

So yeah Nanako was sort of a miracle baby!

——-

that’s it for now!

[symphonic-scream]

Okay. Another in a long line of aus that have been coming from my mind lately

P4 but it's P5

Aka, the P4 Tokyo au

Gonna lay it out, but if you just wanna know everyone's roles scroll to the end for the list of the arcana :)

Alright. Let's do this

So, Yu Narukami was walking home one night when he hears a woman scream. He runs over to help and sees a man trying to assault her so he steps in. The man, drunk, falls over and gets hurt. The blame is placed on Yu, who is arrested and found guilty

Now, his parents don't want to deal with him, sending him to live with his cop uncle in Tokyo. Dojima isn't too happy about it, and to keep Nanako safe, he has Yu live in the old Yongen police station, now a storage building. It's dusty and old, but Yu thinks he can clean it up a bit

He's at a new school. Everyone seems to hate him. He spots a boy on the way to school, watches a teacher berate the kid before he pedals his bike faster. It's raining. The water from his tires flies up dousing Yu and a girl chasing after him

She's Chie Satonaka, formally a part of the martial arts club at Shujin, kicked out due to the extreme number of demerits she's earned. All from the same teacher that yelled at that boy

The boy being Yosuke Hanamura, who transferred last year. Kids being blamed for his father's business taking over a whole slew of smaller businesses in another area of Tokyo, just another big supermarket. But then as well, a certain teacher keeps spreading rumors about him and his family's business. It isn't helping

Anyways. Yu and Chie stumble into the Metaverse, find the shadow of King Moron, and a little bear named Teddie. Then they're back in the real world and shit and blah blah

We know the story by now. The third joins the team, they steal the treasure, etc

In the real world, Teddie is one of those Teddie bear dogs. The tiny ones. I think that's funny

Anyways. They save the day and things move forward. They are the Phantom Thieves. They're going to keep stealing treasures and saving people

On to arc two! After the teacher thing, Chie gets approached by a girl in a kimono, as they're walking through Shibuya. A local group was doing advertisement for a special like traditional style decoration event at an inn. And. One of the young designers wants to use Chie for inspiration

After. Having her soul bared to her. Uhm. Yeah.

Anyways there's a senior designer there that keeps trying to convince everyone the inn is haunted or something. He's an asshole. Wants to ruin the inn so he can buy it to be his personal mansion

Anyways Chie nearly has to get nude but before that they convince Yukiko Amagi to join them and defeat the designer

So. There's that

Anyways next arc!

So. Dojima is still a cop. He's on the case of a large crime group in the city, with another detective Adachi, and. A teenager.

A first year at Yu's school. Pretty much a kid. The cops aren't happy they brought the "genius Detective Prince" in cause they couldn't end it soon enough, but. The whole unit is sick of this kid on day one. Doesn't talk to them. Stands there. Uses big words.

The kid doesn't have friends at school. But, they get closer than anyone else does. Aka, they find both the Phantom Thieves and the crime ring. At the same time.

Naoto Shirogane is looked down on for being a kid but also was never allowed to be a kid. Lonely as fuck. Pressured into throwing themself at the crime boss with no backup

The team finds them insufferable at first. Until they're in the palace and Naoto breaks. And then gains their persona

(Genderfluid Naoto here. Some days he, some they, some she.)

So we've got a "criminal", the reason everyone's parents are broke, Shujin's most violent second year, an interior designer, and a young detective. Oh and Teddie

It's. Going great for them

And it lasts a while until, they get a strange request. An anonymous online fan wants their heart stolen. They're worried they'll resort to extremes soon, and don't want to wish that grief on their loved ones. It's, a lot,

And. They investigate enough to find out the request came from within the Dojima house

Former idol Risette has been living with them since she was attacked, assaulted. She doesn't go out, has a fear of being around crowds and, shit like that. She blames herself, she's read too many online comments. She was asking for it, and all. And she feels, gross. So, they go to steal her heart

And she joins the group! As their Navi! Fun!

Then the second years go to Hawaii, leaving only Naoto and Rise behind in Tokyo, and when they return? They have another palace!

This one idk but Kanji joins the team here. It's Kanji he's gay and likes manly things like sewing.

Anyways after that it's, another Palace that's honestly not chosen cause idk who'd be the Judgement (Margaret?? Maybe) and Adachi joins the team and then betrays them and then they're after the prime guy and then God

But yeah. Thief Team

Fool - Yu

Chariot - Chie

Lovers - Yosuke

Magician - Teddie

Emperor - Yukiko

Priestess - Naoto

Hermit - Rise

Empress - Kanji

And yeah. I've got some ideas for it and all but. Yeah. Ask me about it
