Summary
“You’ve worked hard for this, kid. You’re one the best boxers I’ve ever trained… I love you like a son. But this fight isn’t going to be about the strength or speed of your hands. It’s going to be about your heart. You know what a champion is, kid?
It’s someone who fought one more round. It’s someone who got up when they couldn’t.”
-Coach Shinji Takeda
Ren Amamiya is the former leader of the Phantom Thieves, the group that took back humanity’s future and defeated the God of Control. Now, with his high school life behind him, the one-time Trickster needs to juggle his relationship with Ann, his education, family, and his ambition - to become the best boxer he can be, and to claim the title of ‘Champion’.
Takes place in the Going the Distance AU after the epilogue (‘Going the Distance: Extra Rounds’) and before the oneshot ‘Love You Forever’

Summary
It is the year 2049. A trifecta of discoveries have changed the world into one only previously dreamed of as science fiction. Mobile suits have become the backbone of the military, and their use has become so prevalent that a war game developed for training pilots - Windshear - now draws more viewers than any other sport in the world.
Due to a family tragedy, Seiji Maki, a twenty-year old aspiring pilot from New York, transfers to the Isokaze Institute of Armored Combat Engineering, otherwise known as ACE Academy. This is a story about an underdog; a story about a boy meeting a girl.
This is a story about fulfilling a dream to capture the endless sky.

Summary
There are several variations on tuxedo cake, but most have a few things in common - layers of dark chocolate and light vanilla, mimicking the colors of a formal black-tie event. And of course, all versions are indulgently sweet.
(Alisa/Rean oneshots, staged in CS I, IV, and Epilogue. Tags and rating may change accordingly as each chapter gets released)

Summary
A collection of drabbles/one shots in the Going the Distance Persona 5 universe. In the main series (GtD, GtD:XR, GtD:HH), a few moments got left on the 'cutting room floor', usually because the joke didn't quite fit the mood/flow of the chapter. Some of these were included as 'omake' at the end of the chapter. Others were just briefly referenced before the author moved on.
'Undercards' - a bored author expounds on these moments while procrastinating on writing the main series/other stories.
Rating may change based on what I write.
Answers to some of your GtD related questions - What IS Lemon Mouth? Did Ren and Ryuji really play? Why did Yui-bachan tell Ann to marry Ren after trying his mapo tofu? What -exactly- did Shiho do to Ryuji and Makoto on Valentine's Day that deserved revenge?
This and more! (Maybe.) Expect much less careful editing, plot holes, and continuity errors. I write for fun; this is even more so for fun :P

Summary
This AU is centered around Persona 5: Going the Distance, a 44 chapter re-telling of Persona 5 in which our protagonist, Ren Amamiya, is an amateur boxer in Kamakura before sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and daring to get in the way of Masayoshi Shido.
Key points/canon deviations:
-Ren Amamiya is a lightweight-class boxer at the start of GtD
-Several OCs are involved, primarily people from his life in Kamakura
-Most canon deviations during the P5 story proper are aimed at either explaining what happens during the canon story better, giving better rationale, or smoothing things out for better flow to the story/characterization.
-Expect bad puns, thinly veiled references, and a weird mix of sports manga/battle manga/sparkly shojou goodness.- Words:

Summary
“They say that your first wedding anniversary present should be paper. I’ve held on to this notebook for so long because I like to refer back to it every so often. There’s a lot of great insights and memories in this one, and I hope you’ll cherish them as much as I do. And if the original writings on the page don’t entertain you enough, I’ve made some notes for you to enjoy. Hell, I could barely stand the original author of this notebook, so the fact that you actually thought he was funny is beyond me.”
- Ren Amamiya, to Ann Takamaki
In which Ren gives his angsty teen diary to the love of his life after a year of marriage and nearly a decade of courtship.
See also: the fic that absolutely refused to stay in my head until it was finished because P5 Strikers did not give me the content I craved and I had to make it my dang self. Currently on hiatus.

Summary
"Let the Trickster inhabit the darker side of life, while we use that force, through his stories, to bring us to the good side of life. Let us have balance by leaving evil in the realm of the gods and keeping good in the realm of humanity."

Summary
A series of ShuAnn/RenxAnn oneshots (along with some side stories). Updates will be random; just whenever I am able to write and whenever I have a good idea for a story in my head.
This series will contain strong language and will eventually contain sex in future chapters. Characters are 16/17, so that is why there is the Underage tag.
Some chapters, however, will be perfectly G rated. That is why I’ve decided to go ahead and rate the entire fic Explicit, but individually rate each chapter. Please keep this in mind when reading.
Note: The characters list is just the main two characters. Other characters will make appearances, I just don’t feel like listing them all.
