History Fanfic / Continuance

** The few times Yukiko's parents were mentioned in the game, they were strongly implied to be [[ShipperOnDeck quite supportive of Yukiko seeing the player character]]. Here, Yukiko's father is a textbook OverprotectiveDad, and Yukiko's mother, while more polite about it, isn't entirely sure about Souji.

* OverprotectiveDad: Katsuhiro Amagi, Yukiko's father. As his wife puts it, he "loves Yukiko more than life itself," and while he's not fond of the boys who have been interested in Yukiko, he's especially suspicious of Souji.

* LongRunner: The fic has been going since 2011.

Continuance is a VideoGame/Persona4 fanfic by Vocarin, that picks up where the game left off. Souji Seta[[note]]Yu Narukami's name in the manga[[/note]] leaves Inaba for "home" in Kofu, thus leaving behind his uncle, cousin, friends and girlfriend to reunite with his parents, with whom he has a strained relationship. The fic chronicles the events after the game, as Souji and Yukiko maintain a long-distance relationship while dealing with their respective families, along with their scars from their battles.

The fic can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7083976/1/Continuance here]], and was on hiatus after the release of Chapter 31, so the author could focus on his Persona 3 fanfic, Change of Engagement. The hiatus ended with the release of Chapter 32 on November 3, 2021.

-->''No, this wasn't home, Souji knew. Home was Inaba with its small, homey quarters, the smell of Nanako's breakfast and Dojima's coffee, the door pad with all its shoes when the team got together, no matter the reason. Home was the gazebo by the Samegawa and the table on the hill overlooking town, where all the colours felt brighter and clearer no matter the time or season. Home was tea and flower-print kimonos, the feeling of age and tradition, pale skin, dark eyes, and coal-black hair.''\\

%%* {{Jerkass}}: Yuuma'a a thoroughly unpleasant individual. The only good non-professional relationship he has is with his wife, and even they don't see eye-to-eye about Souji.

!Tropes associated with this fic:

* BetaCouple: Apart from Souji/Yukiko, the fic has Kanji/Naoto, Kou/Chie and Yosuke/Rise.

* {{Jerkass}}: Yuuma'a a thoroughly unpleasant individual. The only good non-professional relationship he has is with his wife, and even they don't see eye-to-eye about Souji.

** Souji is considerably shorter-tempered and cynical than most of his dialogue options in the game or his scenes in the spinoffs imply. It fits the story, but can be somewhat jarring to those familiar with Yu's portrayal as an AllLovingHero.

* AffectionateNickname: Izumi calls Dojima, her younger brother, "Ryo."

* {{Hypocrite}}: Dojima often gets on Izumi's case for her parenting toward Yu, conveniently forgetting his distancing himself from Nanako. He does get called out on it, but considering that he thought he wasn't any good as a parent back in Persona 4, he does come off as fairly self-righteous and oblivious to his own failings.

** He dismissively refers to Souji's PTSD as a case of "a few bad dreams," saying that they won't kill him, in stark contrast to how his wife's concern for their son serves as a PetTheDog moment.

* ReformedButRejected: While Izumi wants to change herself, including reconnecting with her son, brother and niece, Souji is suspicious of her motives, and believes she's meddling in his lie.

* SilkHidingSteel: Ryouko Amagi, Yukiko's mother, is kind and motherly, but not to be trifled with- she isn't completely opposed to Souji seeing Yukiko, but isn't that fond of him.

* ReformedButRejected: While Izumi wants to change herself, including reconnecting with her son, brother and niece, Yu is suspicious of her motives, and believes she's meddling in his lie.

** Souji is considerably shorter-tempered and cynical than most of his dialogue options in the game or his scenes in the spinoffs imply. It fits the story, but can be somewhat jarring to those familiar with Yu's portraying as an AllLovingHero.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Yuuma tells Souji to cancel his planned visit to Inaba and attend a business dinner with Yuuma's business associates- not as a request or an even order, but assuming that Souji would do so, simply because everyone else is bringing family. This more or less proves that he doesn't care about his son's desires, and that sending him off to Inaba for a year was not an isolated incident.

** He calls Rise a "tramp" and a "floozy," the latter ''to her face'', after Souji ends up on the cover of a gossip magazine.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Souji is considerably shorter-tempered and cynical than most of his dialogue options in the game or his scenes in the spinoffs imply. It fits the story, but can be somewhat jarring to those familiar with Yu's portraying as an AllLovingHero.

* HateSink: Yuuma, Souji's father. He's cold, emotionally distant and lacks his wife's CharacterDevelopment.

** He calls Rise a "tramp" and a "floozy," the latter to her face, after Souji ends up on the cover of a gossip magazine.

* LongDistanceRelationship: Souji and Yukiko have been in one since the start of the fic, and continue to do so while attending separate universities.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Yuuma tells Souji to cancel his planned visit to Inaba and attend a business dinner with Yuuma's business associations- not as a request or an even order, but assuming that Souji would do so, simply because everyone else is bringing family.

* KickTheDog: Yuuma has a few such moments.

** He dismissively refers to Souji's PTSD as a case of "a few bad dreams," saying that they won't kill him.

* PetTheDog: While initially seeming cold and distant, Izumi feels terrible when she sees her son crying after having nightmares, and wants to help him, even if she's not sure how..

-->--'''Narration, Yu's POV'''

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The Investigation Team is more traumatized as a result of their battles with Shadows.

-->'''Souji'': [[FlatWhat What]]?
-->'''Izumi''': People. Do you think they can change if they realize they were wrong about something? I won't deny that my job has been important. It's been what I've wanted since I was younger than you. But I want to try to reconnect with Ryo and Nanako. I'd like to talk to you without us fighting. I've gotten three calls tonight, and haven't taken any of them. Tell me: do you think that people can change?"

-->'''Yuuma''': That isn't the point. The point is that this is pathetic. Far beneath what I expect of you. {{Beat}} Well? Nothing to say for yourself?

* OverprotectiveDad: Katsuhiro Amagi, Yukiko's father. As his wife puts it, he "loves Yukiko more than life itself," and while he's not fond of the boys who have been interested in Yukiko, and is especially suspicious of Souji.

* BetaCoupple: Apart from Souji/Yukiko, the fic has Kanji/Naoto, Kou/Chie and Yosuke/Rise.

* SeriesHiatus: After releasing Chapter 31 on July 19, 2017, the author announced that he was going on a planned hiatus to focus on his other fic, Change of Engagement.
