* This is the main idea behind the ''Webcomic/Persona5AdultConfidantAU'', where all of the [[VideoGame/Persona5 original game]]'s child and teenage characters are now adults and the adult characters are now teenagers, with the once adult confidant characters now acting as the teenage Phantom Thieves.
* The cast of ''VideoGame/Persona5'' retain their canon ages in ''Fanfic/StealTheTruthReachOutForYourHeart'', but because the story now takes place in 2021 than an implied 2016, they are actually about five years younger than in canon. This also makes the casts of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' older than they would be at this point, as their game years were not adjusted.

* By default, [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Cornerverse/pseuds/Cornerverse Cornerverse]] ages up the students from fourteen to sixteen. In ''Fanfic/HeroChat'' this explains the mature polyamory negotiations that one group goes through, and in ''Fanfic/LadyLuckMiraculousLadybug'' it helps justify how Rose and Juleka are already in a sexual relationship (complete with a "freebie list"). The swearing is probably realistic for either fourteen year-olds or sixteen year-olds, though.

** Basically applies to Ben Parker; some adaptations of Franchise/SpiderMan state that Ben Parker fought in the Second World War, but since this would make him too old to match the May Parker seen in the MCU, Private Peter Parker meets the Howling Commandos during D-Day and is confirmed by WordOfGod to be Ben and Richard's father.
** As a more developed example, Thor and his immediate family are described as being older than they were in the MCU to give him a more explicit heroic history, such as allowing him to have actively taken part in Odin's war with the Frost Giants.
