What is your Haruryujiken AU about?
Ohoho, you've activated my trap card
Basically, it's a canon divergence AU that I have dubbed "Strikers 'Verse," even though it is completely unrelated to the actual Persona 5 Strikers. In it, 18-year-old Ken has befriended the Phantom Thieves as a sort of liaison between them and the Shadow Operatives. He is also dating Ryuji because uhhhh IDK they're cute! I think they'd be good together!
Anyway, the main tipping point is the fight that, in canon, results in Morgana leaving the team and finding Haru. In this timeline, Ryuji instead leaves, taking Ken with him. They stumble across Haru being accosted by her fiancé (I am too tired to remember his name) and, upon discovering the Metaverse app on her phone, form a team that they dub the Strikers. Ken even gets his own codename, too, even if he doesn't have full Metaverse gear (yet). His codename is Judge!
More stuff happens, obviously, but I'm still debating if I'm going to do more with this AU or not. It'd be a heavy commitment that I'm not sure I can reliably stick to at this point in my life. But I'm open to answer more questions about it!
Oh yeah, and as for the shipping aspect- Ryuji and Haru also end up dating, and Ken and Haru have a more queerplatonic relationship rather than a romantic one, but all three love each other and its cute
