p5 spoilers ahoy - fic brainspew

I’m not gonna be like ‘would anyone read this’ because the fandom is thirsty like whoa, so if I actually wrote it the answer would obviously be yes. so like, “the plot” of my hypothetical fic is pretty much:

new game plus - because as it’s quickly established something went wrong, but having two wild cards kinda fucks up the process, so akechi gets the memories and protag gets his social stats (mostly so I can have everyone in the background go ‘oh my god hes hot’ ‘hes a delinquent why is he so smart?’ ‘such a sweetheart im gonna die omg’ ‘holy shit did he just say that guys got balls of steel’ ‘dude have you seen what he can do with his hands kill me’ lol)

anyways, akechi got the memories up until his ‘death’ in the ship look I’m not saying he didn’t die, but Atlus never showed us a body and he’s way too popular, they’re gonna pull that boy out for some inevitable spinoff/remake you know it, so he knows how futile his plan was, and tries to change things. helps wakaba with her research into cognitive psience, tries to form actual human bonds not based upon his perfect image (tries being the operative word - he’s been the perfect pleasant boy so long that mask is pretty much welded to his face). avoids shido like the plague because even though he’s got the power of persona and knows the keywords shido’s palace is a goddamn shitkicker and he doesn’t have that level of power yet and the part with wakaba kinda establishes that the power to steal hearts is joker’s special ability, like beserking shadows is his. spends time at a newly opened cafe in yongen. just fourteen year old bby akechi attempting to make things go slightly better for himself

fast forward two years, and protag shows up and bibbidy bobbidy boo, he’s a wildcard too because yabadabadoo can’t leave well enough alone. they meet way earlier because akechi is a regular at leblanc. akechi knows damn well who this new boy is, but is kinda startled by his hotness quotient - he doesn’t remember protag being quite that gorgeous when they first met and he thought it was just his developing crush on the only person to actually give him meaningful human interaction but hey okay he’s actually really really hot, good to know. but because of their previous nebulous friendship, akechi is actually pretty genuine with protag - which startles sojiro because lol that boy is as guarded as they come but hey, guess his gut feeling about the kid being good people was right because the kid who comes into his coffee shop and sits and looks lonely and depressed actually warmed up easily to someone so they have to be a decent kind of person

shit goes down the same way at the school with kamoshit, no changes there. but akechi makes a couple of rather cryptic encouraging comments to protag shortly after kamoshit’s confession. (because he wants the phantom thieves to do their thing and get stronger, and maybe sometime in the future closer to the election they can team up and take shido down)

anyways, because new game plus and we can’t have shit getting stale and I have to stir the pot, along with akechi and sai, maybe there’s a third person added to the team investigating the mental shutdown/psychotic incidents.

did I mention those are still happening? because those are still happening. what, you thought shithead shido would leave the metaverse alone? lol nope.

anyway, I’m not sure if I’m keeping this in but for now, the new person added is a rookie cop transferred in from the countryside to get a taste of what a real investigation is like. yep, it’s everyone’s favorite lawboy, narukami yu. yu is very confused about his old friend’s successor - because akechi is still the new detective prince! (what, you thought I was gonna let that boy have a good happy life? LOL no, being akechi is suffering) anywho, akechi kind of creeps yu out? like he gets a really weird vibe from him, sorta like he’s a persona user but not quite the same? because he doesn't make the connection that akechi is a wild card too, but akechi catches on very quickly, because yu’s got the same kinda otherworldy ‘blue’ feeling that protag and the velvet room have.

so because akechi has literally no life beyond awkward flirting in a coffee shop and even that’s a new addition, akechi proceeds to kinda taunt yu by talking about jungian psychology - which he studied extensively due to it’s connections to cognitive psience (and the persona games are heavily based in jungian themes) - and also tarot which he got interested in after getting a reading a few months ago in shinjuku. yu is convinced there’s something going on with this kid, but he can’t prove it because akechi is nothing if not a slippery bastard after living the last two and a half years twice.

and that’s it, I have no real plot beyond that. even the addition of the p4 cast is just so that I can have someone new react to this kid’s bullshit, there is so much bullshit. idk if I even want to keep it in as a serious plot point because despite being confused they’re not stupid.

I mean, there’s a lot of mutual pining and idiocy. ‘does he wanna kiss me because I wanna kiss him’ and ‘okay I kind of want to punch this boy in the face. but with my face. or maybe just my fist idk’ and ‘but he always looks so depressed when he doesn’t have that obnoxious detective prince smile on I can’t hit him I just wanna make him smile’ on protag’s part. meanwhile akechi is all dramatic like ‘I wanted to shoot him in a past life I’m a horrible person oh my god he’ll never like me like that why am I doomed’. but past that, there’s no actual plot here, beyond maybe them hooking up sometime after kaneshiro?

oh! but protag totally works in crossroads a lot after meeting ohya and lala-chan, and he totally convinces lala-chan to let him crossdress because max guts and charm and he just wants to be pretty dammit. so akechi has to join the p-thieves during kaneshiro, because I wanted to have protag come to the fireworks in a girl’s yukata and completely confuse everyone except yusuke who doesn’t even react. akechi is trying to not suddenly pop a boner in public, and ryuji and makato have sudden bisexual crises (ann already knows she swings both ways and is just enjoying the eye candy, also she’s helped protag with makeup shopping before and isn’t surprised like everyone else that he would crossdress, just that he’d go out in public like that) (everyone has the ‘oh no he’s hot’ moment at some point - I’m a total shipper but I’m also all for a poly thieves pile too)

yeah, that’s my brainspew for now
