A new AU Persona 4 and Persona 3 fanfic, focusing on Yu Narukami and his adventures with love. Many shout-outs to other Persona and Shin Megami Tensei stuff are in here as well. Can be read here
.
This work contains examples of:
- Cherry Blossoms: Played Straight and Justified, Yu meets the "red-eyed girl" under the cherry blossom tree.
- Crash-Into Hello: Kinda. Yosuke barely misses crashing into Yu when he dives into the train.
- Played straight with Teddie, as he crashes into Yosuke and then carries him off.
- Instant Fan Club: Sort of. Since Yu is new meat, the girls are watching him.
- Parental Abandonment: Not exactly abandoned, but his parents went overseas for a job.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted, the "red-eyed girl" is not bad.
- Shout-Out:
- Yosuke referencing how you can just "tap" Teddie and he will go down, is a shoutout to that exact option in Persona 4.
- Ch 3, anything that involves Chie and Yosuke's fighting, such as her kicking him, or him breaking her DVD.
- Ch 3, Saki being sick, shout-out to her being "sick" in Persona 4 as well.
- The term "inner-crocodile-masculinity" was coined by Super Jeenius on YouTube and refers to one's courage.
- "Yes, yes– But you would have to be half-mad to dream me up." –– The Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland (2010/1)
- Shown Their Work: The detail with the shout-outs and knowledge of Persona and arcanas, it's all very well researched.
