* AgeLift: Due to the premise of ''Persona 4'' characters going through the events of ''Persona 5'', Yukiko and Chie are aged down from being born in 1994 to 1999.
* ButterflyOfDoom: The fact that Yukiko and Chie are female greatly changes the dynamic with the game's events, and [[spoiler:Naoto being a co-investigator with Akechi]] changes a bit more.

On the outskirts of Tokyo, [[VideoGame/Persona5 a high school student accused of a crime made with the best of intentions exits a train, unknowing of the role of Trickster that awaits her...]]
Wait, ''[[AlternateUniverseFic her?]]'' Yep. It was really quite shocking, given how [[VideoGame/Persona4 Yukiko Amagi]] was a model student until then.
[[https://web.archive.org/web/20170724101740/http://archiveofourown.org/works/11128548/chapters/24836940 Fall With the Petals]] is a ''VideoGame/Persona5'' fanfic by [[Tropers/CalamityRaven26 Boyd the Reaver]], wherein Yukiko and Chie were founding members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, with Ren/Akira [[AdaptationalNameChange (or Shinobu, in the author's other fics)]] being {{composite|Character}}d with Yukiko. Many changes [[LesYay (and lesbian couples)]] ensue.

!!This Fanfic shows examples of:
* ActionGirl: Even more so than in Persona 4, as both Yukiko and Chie need to execute some tough acrobatics to be Phantom Thieves.
* ACupAngst: See AdaptationalCurves. Yukiko's interpreted by the author for being quite stacked, a trait that Chie's very much lacking and envious over.
--> '''Chie:''' "Well, it could be worse. You could be an ''ironing board'' like yours truly…”
* AdaptationalBadass: Yukiko and Chie are both more competent here than in canon, due to being ''Phantom Thieves'' on top of being Persona-users.
* AdaptationalCurves: Yukiko's interpreted with... generous endowments. [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Chie's much less lucky.]]
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: [[spoiler:Haru is at least hinted at from Makoto's first appearance.]]
* AdaptationalNationality: Downplayed with [[ButNotTooForeign Ann.]] Her father is still an American, but he's also a ''[[UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}} Danish]]''-American too. This leads to [[IdiotHero Ryuji]] confusing her heritage with a pastry of the same name in a chatroom:
-->'''Ry-yee-ji:''' danish?\\
'''Ry-yee-ji:''' isnt it, like, that pastry\\
'''Ry-yee-ji:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint OH MY GOD ARE YOU PART PASTRY ANN]]\\
'''[=DanishWeeaboo=]''': no stupid, my father was an american of pure danish descent
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Because Yukiko was a model student, Sojiro lets the {{Jerkass}} facade down earlier around her.
** Apparently, Takeshi was a dear friend to Chie unlike in canon, who was kind of a coward [[WeUsedToBeFriends and a former friend.]] Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Takeshi joining the male's volleyball team helped push him to suicide at the hands of Kamoshida's abuse, [[ItsPersonal making things very personal for Chie.]]]]
* AdaptationalSexuality: While Yukiko/Chie, Ann/Shiho and Haru/Makoto are all possessing tons of LesYay in their canon appearances, here they're outright confirmed to be couples. [[spoiler:Ann and Shiho become an official couple around Chapter 23]] while Haru/Makoto are apparently established in the canon.
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** [[Monster/ShinMegamiTensei Kamoshida was never a nice guy]], but he's debatably even ''worse'' here than he is in canon. [[spoiler:He's explicitly shown to be a sexual predator unlike in the canon, having a whole ''shrine'' in his Palace dedicated to all the women he's raped. When confronted on the matter, [[CardCarryingVillain he shows no repentance for his actions]] and gleefully admits [[{{Sadist}} that he does what he does because he enjoys it.]]]]
** Similarly, Principal Kobayakawa was never a good person, but he [[spoiler:outright threatens Haru with exposure of her sexuality if Makoto doesn't agree to his scheme to discover the Phantom Thieves.]]
* AuthorAppeal:
** Many of the pairings listed are ones the author ships in his other works, most notably Yukiko/Chie, Haru/Makoto and Ann/Shiho.
** From what's described in the fanfic, Yukiko's interpreted with a generous bust, [[ACupAngst one that Chie is more than a little envious over.]]
** The author is quite obviously a ''huge'' fan of [[YuriGenre yuri]], with 75 percent of the requited couples being lesbians. [[CastFullOfGay The improbability of this]] [[LampshadeHanging is even acknowledged in the tags.]]
* BadassAdorable: Yukiko and Chie, of course!
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yukiko, much like in canon. She's a very nice and polite young lady, but she can be ''vicious'' when angered. Special props goes to her [[spoiler:admitting nothing will be lost if a failed Heist kills Kamoshida, a matter that everyone else is concerned with.]]
** Chie's also just as nice as Yukiko, but she's just as applicable with this trope as is her best friend. [[spoiler:She holds a personal vendetta against [[EvilTeacher Kamoshida]] for killing Takeshi, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy whom was actually a faithful friend in this timeline.]]]]
** Out of all of the Phantom Thieves [[spoiler:after Kamoshida's change of heart, Ann was the only one who felt no sympathy towards [[HeelFaceBrainwashing Good!Kamoshida]], outright says that [[CruelMercy death was too easy for him.]] Then again, [[BreakTheCutie after what happened to Shiho]], that level of coldness is more than a little justified.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Shiho... [[spoiler:doesn't take being raped well. [[DrivenToSuicide At all.]] Even after all is said and done, she's still clearly traumatized from the event and [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain very much prefers not to talk about it.]]]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed. Kamoshida is even more of a HateSink here, having [[spoiler:driven a friend of Chie's to suicide and admitting what he does is rape - without feeling he should be guilty at all even then.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Yukiko + Morganamobile = Earthquake Simulation In Mementos.
* EntitledBastard: [[spoiler:Kamoshida feels his fame gives him the right to do anything he wants within the bounds of the school.]]
* ForWantOfANail: The fact that Yukiko and Chie are female greatly changes the dynamic with the game's events, and [[spoiler:Naoto being a co-investigator with Akechi]] changes a bit more.
* IKnowMortalKombat: Subverted. Yukiko knows driving... from ''{{VideoGame/Crazy Taxi}}.''
--> After two seconds of processing this information, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Dragon, Skull and Panther hastily buckled their seatbelts and began praying to whatever kami was above]].
* InSpiteOfANail: Yukiko and Chie have the same Personas as in Persona 4, though Konohana Sakuya is of the Fool Arcana here.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain:
** [[PlayedForDrama A rare tragic example.]] [[spoiler:Shiho's rape was ''[[BreakTheCutie extremely]]'' [[BreakTheCutie traumatic for the poor girl]], and she doesn't like to acknowledge that the incident ever happened.]]
** On a lighter note, the Phantom Thieves have agreed to never bring up the [[GagPenis Mara]] Shadow.
* SexyScandinavian: See AdaptationalNationality. Apparently, Ann's father was a [[UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}} Danish]]-American.
* SilkHidingSteel: Yukiko again. She's still a very polite lady as in canon, but she takes to being a PhantomThief like a fish takes to water. Not to mention she can become surprisingly cold, [[spoiler:outright saying in Chapter 13 nothing will be lost if a botched Heist kills Kamoshida. And given [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil what]] [[BreakTheCutie he's]] [[DrivenToSuicide done]], that's a very justifiable reaction.]]
* YamatoNadeshiko: Yukiko.
