History Fanfic / FairlyEnglishStory

* MetalScream - '''[[CSIMiami YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!]]'''

* {{Crossover}} - ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'', ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona2}} Eternal Punishment, Innocent Sin]]'', ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'', ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'', ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'', ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIf'', Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei, ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''. Turns out that last one actually does count as SMT.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo - Dante appeared in Nocturne, so it's okay for him to appear in this fic apparently. Even though other characters have actually played DevilMayCry.

* EldritchAbomination

->''"My name is Minato Arisato, I'm a Fool Arcana so I got a bajillion Personae, but my first one was Orpheus. I use whatever weapon I can get my hands on but I always did like Shortswords, and my favourite fictional character is [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon the Digger]]."''

[[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 had been 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, {{Persona 4}}.

* BigBrotherMentor - [[spoiler: Minato taught his sister a few tricks, such as how to effectively [[{{Persona 4}} disguise herself as a male detective]].]]

* {{Crossover}} - VideoGame/{{Persona}}, [[{{Persona2}} Eternal Punishment, Innocent Sin,]] ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne, ShinMegamiTenseiII, VideoGame/DevilSurvivor, ShinMegamiTenseiIf, Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei, {{Persona 4}}, DevilMayCry. Turns out that last one actually does count as SMT.

* UpToEleven - Not just the fic. [[spoiler: The Social Links go up to eleven too. And it is even a major plot point as Personae that are a part of Minato's Up to Eleven links are card-summonable a la [[{{Persona 4}} The Inaba Scoobies]] ''AND'' are unable to be destroyed.]]

* XMeetsY - {{Persona 3}} meets FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K

* ShonenUpgrade - [[spoiler: He loses them though. Then gets them back and uses then properly.]]

* [[spoiler: GodzillaThreshold: Refereed to as the 'Arisoto Threshold' in the Sequel. If things ever get to the point of no victory in sight, [[WalkingSpoiler Minatos]] will break the Great Seal, which will allow Nyx to try and destroy the world again, but will free [[StoryBreakerPower Minato]] so he can stomp on the other threat. ]]

* MyNameIsNotDurwood - Kenjamin, but then he grows to like it.

* [[spoiler: DecoyProtagonist]] - Read at your own risk. [[hottip:** : Minato's ''Shadow'' was the narrator of the entire story, leaving the real Minato to potentially be a vastly different character. In other words, the snide remarks, insults and sarcastic comments were all of Minato's Shadow.]]

* InfantImmortality - [[spoiler: Cruelly subverted.]]

The Author 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. Needless to say, it's a potential TearJerker, especially if you've already read Fairly English Story. 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]], though the author has claimed that there will be differences between this and the original. If you considered reading Fairly English Story but was put off by the poor writing quality, you might want to check these out.

** Akihiko did it for Minato too, at one point.
