[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5194916/1/Persona_3_Fairly_English_Story Persona 3: Fairly English Story]] started as an AU Fic of what the author thinks [[{{Persona3}} Persona 3: FES]] would have been like if Minato Arisato was raised in England after his parents death. Then things started to deviate from the original source material, and [[CrazyAwesome Stuff Happened]].

It's told in first person from Minato's perspective, giving him more of a personality while still keeping the sleepy, expressionless teen that Fanon has made him out to be, while taking a few levels in badass along the way. Towards the later chapters, things start to get a little out of hand, yet it still somehow manages not to break canon most of the time, even the canon for its somewhat direct sequel, [[{{Persona4}} Persona 4]].

The author has posted the first chapter of the sequel (titled [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5860066/1/ For Every Soul]], because get it?

Casey W has also begun work on an official sequel from the viewpoint of Seta Souji as he goes through the events of the altered Persona 4 canon. It's called [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6148119/1/Persona_4_Face_Every_Shadow Face Every Shadow.]]

The Author recently did a prequel called [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6294680/1/Stay_Awake_With_Me Stay Awake With Me]], which covers the events between Minato's parents dying and him moving to England. It's a TearJerker on its own, but if you've already read Fairly English Story, then it's just heartbreaking. A rewrite is also currently in the works, titled [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6055388/1/Rebuild_of_Fairly_English_Story Rebuild of Fairly English Story]]. If you considered reading Fairly English Story but was put off by the poor writing quality, then check these out.
