Summary
Not even a full week out of the Interrogation Room and Ren Amamiya thought everything couldn’t get weirder. But when a white light sucks him up into a void on the outskirts of time, he suddenly finds himself thrust into a situation where the survival of his universe now depends on him and the Phantom Thieves playing a game about them and changing something that is bound to happen in the future.
Silently, Ren wonders what God is laughing in his face right now for this to happen. Along with the others that are trapped here with him.
(Or, Ren Amamiya, the Phantom Thieves, The Confidants, Shujin Academy and others scattered throughout the timeline are forced to play Persona 5 Royal to save the universe. But first, the prologue. Because when has anything ever gone smoothly for the Phantom Thieves?)

Summary
[A Kaidol isn't supposed to be sapient,Ren thought, waiting for the gentle nudge that heralds Wonder's commands. He obliges, summoning Arsene for a quick maeiga to take care of the shadows, watches discreetly as his fellow Kaidol Mont disappears into motes of light and back into the Sea of Souls. Ren follows her half a second later, burning with curiosity about everything these Phantom Thieves are accomplishing. ]
Nagisa arrives back home with a sense of dread curling low in his gut, only to be overwhelmed by the scent of curry in the air. He unlocks the door, a reflexive I'm home leaving his lips even though he's been alone for a while now, a ghost in his own four walls before Lufel had found him, before he's gained Janosik's comfort.
"Welcome back!" Joker's voice carries over from the kitchen, and Nagisa stares for a moment before steeling himself and stepping into his own living room, witnessing the absurd picture that is Joker's glasses being fogged up from where he's staring at a simmering pot.

aka: interconnected oneshots about Ren somehow finding himself in the P5X timeline as a sentient Kaidol and doing his best to be a guiding figure for Nagisa's team.

The Inaba Trickster and the Jail Crisis by Lord_Tenebros

Summary
After returning home to Inaba and discovering that a beloved group of older friends are all Persona users, Ren Amamiya has spent several months reconnecting with both them and a familiar face in Shiho Suzui. But as much as he loves the Investigation Team, Ren has an unbreakable and irreplaceable bond with the Phantom Thieves. And he has been looking forward to reuniting with them for their summer vacation.
Unfortunately, a looming threat involving a new form of the Metaverse has decided to rudely interrupt the Phantom Thieves’ vacation. Even worse, the transition to the Jails has stripped Ren of his Personas and reduced all of their Personas down to level 1. But the Phantom Thieves have faced overwhelmingly unfavorable odds once before, and they won’t let this stop them from saving the world a second time.
Meanwhile, the Investigation Team is far from thrilled to discover that a new threat to humanity has risen, and that Ren has gotten himself wrapped up in it. They’re even less thrilled to learn that Ren has been chosen to undergo this Fool’s Journey, limiting how much they can help him. But none of Inaba's persona users are content to remain on the sidelines for long, not while Ren and humanity are in danger.

Summary
He slept with Goro Akechi, in the least platonic interpretation of the word.
And they actually ended up discussing the ethics of underage drinking while they were at it.
Ren kind of wants to start laughing hysterically. How did this happen?
In which a one-night stand quickly turns into many others – and this, naturally, changes everything.
Well – almost everything.
Introducing Ren Amamiya in the role of a glorified hoe, co-star Goro Akechi with an obsession for coffee mugs, an assortment of Phantom Thieves in every way, shape and form, issues of family, the power of friendship, the occasional murder and, of course, plans for world domination.
A tale of love and growing into being loved.

Summary
butterfly effect: a property of chaotic systems (such as the atmosphere) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system.
A retelling of Persona 5 Royal with small things that make big impacts, and some BIG things that make massive impacts. Joker is a bit more of a flamboyant idiot (hooray for theater kids!) outside of the Metaverse, and there will be more Phantom Thieves than canon.

Summary
Goro frowns. “Joker?”
“The Ghost King.” Ann glances to the side, like just mentioning his name will summon him to her heavenly palace. “The most powerful Ghost King in centuries.”
“I can’t say that I have heard about this…Joker,” Goro says. “But then again, I haven’t exactly been able to keep up with current affairs.”
Ann cringes. “Well, he’s, uh…very mysterious anyway. No one knows much about him. He showed up about a hundred years ago, but none of us—” she waves a hand to encompass all of heaven, “—have ever seen him directly. We’ve just heard rumors.”
After more than two centuries of punishment for an unforgivable crime, Akechi Goro, the God of Justice, has been granted another chance. Determined not to waste it, he spends his time on earth, dealing with incidents that other gods can't or won't handle themselves, all while trying to leave his painful past behind him. His hopes for a peaceful existence are shattered by the appearance of Ren, a mysterious young man who seems abnormally interested in him and who awakens memories that Goro would rather stay buried.

Summary
Instead of canceling their double date like he should have, Ren decides to power through an oncoming cold to avoid disappointing anyone. But (un)luckily for him, his boyfriend is pretty good at reading him. Ryuji's more than happy to take care of his partner, it's just a shame that he's just as bad at self care as Ren is. It totally won't come back to bite him in the butt, though. And Morgana is here and he really, really wishes he had hands.

But he isn’t complaining one bit.

Summary
After the Metaverse collapsed, everyone moved on. Not Akira, though. What was Akira without Joker, without his arsenal of masks, without the purpose that had made his unsatisfying life whole? His parents despise him, his hometown believe he's a murderer, and Shido's conspiracy follows him everywhere he goes. There had always been more to Akira than Joker, though. Maybe, if he sees himself through his friends' eyes and lets someone special in, he can escape this dark, dangerous spiral.
Someone like Goro Akechi.
A companion piece to my Akeshu fic Chase the Joker, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
“-sick and in bed, Ann,” the boy says with way too many unnecessary hand gestures. “He’s probably still worse off!”
“Well, yeah, I guess,” the girl replies, not that Goro hears much more of her as they pass him in the corridor.
He is too busy standing still, frozen in place.
His rival is… sick?
Ren Amamiya is sick, so he can’t go to the TV studio – and thus, he doesn’t meet the Detective Prince, nor does he make a deal with his Justice.
It won’t stay that way for long though, not if it’s up to Goro Akechi.
Except… Meeting one’s rival is a lot harder than it seems.

Summary
“...Why the hell are you acting like you’re okay when you're not?”
Sakura’s words had her face to face with an epiphany. Which was:
Why did he care for her? It didn’t make any sense in the long run, he got nothing out of this. She was essentially a stranger. She didn’t have anything she could help him with or offer him so why care about little ol’ her? But despite her thoughts, she answered truthfully as she was taught to do.
“...What else am I supposed to do?”
