so how does the MG AU come about? I've been digging for a lore dump post but I can't find one? like how does ham come back and sae meet her and yadda yadda
Oh god now I really have to make a proper basics post about this AU shangdkshs
Okay so I actually have no explanation as for why Hamuko is alive again shamgdkss Maybe Elizabeth was successful in her mission? Maybe humanity's desire for death just got replaced by the control stuff with Mementos? Maybe some other magic bs? I really dont know lmao
As for the other stuff...I could offer you a rough "timeline" of things
-Almost 5 years after she died Hamuko wakes up on a train to Tokyo, shes got Thanatos as well as the yen she had still left from the SEES days (dont ask how thats not important shsbhsnweh) and gets a hotelroom
- Next day she visits Leblanc for the first time and meets Sojiro, Wakaba and Futaba
- Later on the same day she explores the streets and finds a libary thats run by Saori (who is in a happy relationship with Rio :)) because girl cant catch a break
-Reuinions and explanations ensue
-The following two weeks are full of commiting crimes to get housing bc she IS legally dead afterall
-Hamuko becomes a regular at Leblanc during that time and hears about some corrupt politician through the news
-The same day she runs into people protesting aginst said politician, Hamuko starts cursing the politician and oh dear!
-Welcome to the metaverse and your first palace!
-Thanatos at least knows somewhat whats happening
-Life threatening situation happens and tada, Persona re-awakening! And murder time!
- Two weeks later comes her run in with 13yo Goro
- A week after that (thank god for crimes!) happens the little post I where I said "Its my AU and I get to choose the dynamics" aka this:
Goro: "You are the most incompetent adult I have ever met"
Also Goro: "I barely had you for six hours but youre my mom now and please dont leave me-"
-She loves her feral bird son and is very much aware that he already killed a guy (thats her boy!)
- Futaba and Goro meet and its a disaster (the good kind)
- Goro "I'm 13years old and bitter but suddenly theres so many genuinely nice people around me that show me kindness simply because they want to" Akechi doesnt know how bonds work but wants to learn anyway
-Because sure he still has his plan against Shido but he also got the change for a life with people that actually care about him so why not both?
(Spoiler he should not have chosen both)
-Hamuko running into Sae comes a month later feat. Stressed Hamuko bc it rains and shes in a cafe with dozens of people waiting the rain out, Sae who's like "This place is free ;)" and gay people being gay people
- Hamuko inviting Sae leads to her bring Makoto along
- Cut to Goro being a little shit and Makoto suplexing him into Oblivion
- "Good to know theyre getting along"
- And welcome Goro "I had Makoto for six hours but I'm her brother now"
- Hamuko even gets to meet Mr. Niijima before he dies (haha fun times :'))
- Lots and lots of shenanigans ensue
- But also lots of pain (see Wakaba and Officer Niijima)
The rest may be better for another time bc this is probably long enough as is sbksgsjasg
