History Fanfic / StealTheTruthReachOutForYourHeart

* HurricaneOfPuns: Apparently, wearing Teddie's bear suit for too long makes the wearer uncontrollably make bear puns. [[spoiler: Ann learned this the hard way...]]

* AgeLift: The ''Persona 5'' cast retain their canon ages, but the story nows takes place in 2021 rather than the implied 2016 in canon, making them a bit younger than their canon counterparts.

* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Nanako begins to experience these after coming into contact with the Metaverse. It starts with her [[RepressedMemories repressed memories]] of Heaven but she later starts seeing thing she could never had known about, like the Investigation Team's encounter with Shadow Yukiko.
* FixFic: Minor example, as the story tweaks a few beats that the author found either unsatisfactory or distasteful.

** The newspaper club girl actually gets a name and facilitates the beginning of one of Nanako's Social Links.

* CruelToBeKind: Shiho Suzui acts like such a massive bitch to Nanako during Volleyball tryouts. [[spoiler: In reality, this is so Nanako doesn’t end up as one of Kamoshida’s “playthings”]]
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Nanako begins to experience these after coming into contact with the Metaverse. It starts with her [[RepressedMemories repressed memories]] of Heaven but she later starts seeing things she could never have known about, like the Investigation Team's encounter with Shadow Yukiko.

** Related, the author ditches the layers of clothes gag in lieu of having Ann [[spoiler: wear Teddie's costume, only to get stuck inside.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: For a very twisted interpretation of "heroism", anyway. Unlike in canon where Madarame considered Yusuke just another source of profit, here he reveals that he intended to groom Yusuke into his protege and eventually have him take over the plagiarism business. Yusuke is not amused.

* OverlyLongName: Teddie’s surname is Narudojihanasatoamatatsukujishirokuma, derived from the first parts of each of the Investigation Team’s surnames as well as Dojima and the Japanese word for “bear”. Morgana even asks Nanako what kind of a name is that [[spoiler: when she tries to find Teddie in Mementos]].

* OutsideContextProblem: Nanako's Metaverse powers, which are essentially loaned to her by Margaret, are reminiscent of ''P4's'' mechanics, meaning she does not spontaneously manifest a costume there and has no Persona of her own. This chafes with Morgana, as his knowledge of the Metaverse is all he can remember and Nanako's powers call into question whether he can even be sure of ''that''.

* UnstoppableMailman: The delivery services of Aiya's Nikudon remain ridiculous. To prove a point to Ryuji, Ren places an order from Tokyo for three beef bowls and then sprints randomly through Yongen-Jaya's backstreets with him and Nanako in tow. [[Anime/Persona4TheAnimation Aika Nakamura]] still tracks them down on her moped and delivers the order with impossible speed, despite Inaba being several hours away ''by train''.

* OutsideContextProblem: Nanako's Metaverse powers, which are essentially loaned to her by Margaret, work off ''P4'''s mechanics, meaning she does not spontaneously manifest a costume there and has no Persona of her own. This chafes with Morgana, as his knowledge of the Metaverse is all he can remember and Nanako's powers call into question whether he can even be sure of ''that''.

* AscendedExtra: Nanako goes from a supporting character in ''Persona 4'' to a main character in this fic.

* CruelToBeKind: Shiho Suzui acts like such A massive bitch to Nanako during Volleyball tryouts. [[spoiler: In reality, this is so Nanako doesn’t end up as one of Kamoshida’s “playthings”]]

* SecondLove: A couple years after the events of ''Persona 4'', Dojima met and married a woman named Kaho. Nanako accepted her as her new mother relatively quickly, and even started calling her “Mom” when she was ten.

* CruelToBeKind: Shiho Suzui acts like such A massive bitch to Nanako during Volleyball tryouts. [[spoiler: In reality this is so Nanako doesn’t end up as one of Kamoshida’s “playthings”]]

[[VideoGame/Persona4 Nanako Dojima]] is what you would call the ideal student-Good grades, rather popular, great at sports-with a promising future ahead of her. Yet despite that, she always felt like there was something missing in her life. All that changes when she encounters [[VideoGame/Persona5 Ren Amamiya]] at the Tatsuhime shrine, and her life begins to take a very different turn...

The story is split up into very short chapters, usually by different parts of the day. This leads to it having a large chapter count. As of this writing, the fic is almost 200 chapters long, with the Phantom Thieves currently infiltrating Madarame’s Palace.

* AdaptationalDeviation: The events of ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' and ''[[VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax Ultimax]]'' did not happen in this continuity, which means the casts of ''P4'' and ''P3'' have never met before.

* OutsideContextProblem: Nanako's Metaverse powers, which are essentially loaned to her by Margaret, work off ''P4'''s mechanics, meaning she does not spontaneously manifest a costume there and has no Persona of her own.

The story is split up into very short chapters, usually by different parts of the day. This leads to it having a large chapter count. As of this writing, it is almost 200 chapters long, and it’s at Madarame’s arc.

* AdaptationDeviation: The story takes place in 2021 instead of an ambiguous YearX(though implied to be 2016), and instead of Persona Nanako uses a copy of Yu’s Compendium.
* AgeLift: The ''Persona 5'' cast retain their canon ages, but the story nows takes place in 2021 rather than the implied 2016 in canon, making them a bit younger than their canon counterparts. This is so that Nanako is able to join the Phantom Thieves without much issue.
