Fake Me
is a Persona 4 fanfiction that takes place a week after the events of Persona 4: Arena. Written by Reaching Out FES
This work contains examples of:
- After Action Patch Up: Girls, Minako or Inaba girls, tend to tend to Yu's wounds a lot after a battle.
- Aloof Big Brother: Played with, Makoto is technically Minako's big brother, but he's not only aloof to her but Yu and the rest of the gang.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: Minako says this to Yu, with one of her last breaths.
- Battle Couple: Yu's and Minako's feelings for each other are implied, and later confirmed, so that along with their fighting together invokes this trope.
- The Casanova: Yu, kinda lampshaded by himself."His smile makes the girls swoon!"
- Did Not Get the Girl: Sadly for Yu, Minako faded into nothingness. Also, same goes for Aigis with Makoto, as the same fate with Minako happened to Makoto.
- Everyone Can See It: Everyone can see Yu and Minako care for each other that's beyond friendship... More specifically, Makoto keeps saying Minako is Yu's girlfriend.
- Forceful Kiss: Implied, and not the good kind either. Entity does this to Minako.
- From Dress to Dressing: Minako's ribbon to Yu's wound on head.
- He's Back!: Yu recovers from his Heroic BSoD at the very end of the fic.
- Heartbroken Badass: Yu and Aigis at the end. Yu gets better.
- Heroic BSoD:
- Minako, twice. Once when her shadow friends died. Second when she starts to have an internal fight with the Entity.
- Aigis and Yu have this at the end of the fic too, or at least is implied.
- Yu at least was shown to have gotten better.
- I Have You Now, My Pretty: Mavolent Entity does this with an out-of-it Minako.
- Irony: Lampshaded by narration. The irony was Yosuke, a guy, wanted to ask for directions.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Yu says this each time someone note says Minako is his girlfriend.
- Ship Tease:
- Teddie flirting with Minako
- Yukiko crushing on Yu
- Naoto blushes around Yu
- Really any girl with Yu since he's a lady killer.
- Shout-Out: In-game, the Penguine
- The chapters are references to songs, Strength by abingdon boys school, Guilty Crown's opening song "The Everlasting Guilty Crown", and Persona 3 Portable's Opening Soul Phase.
- Even the fics Title is a reference to the song Fake Me by Itou Kanako.
- Cowardly Mayas, your first enemies in the game in P3, come back! As allies no less!
- You Didn't Ask: Aigis replies with this after being questioned why she didn't reveal sooner that she had a GPS built in.
