The Deluded Hero and his Personal Attack Dog

"Did you kids really think that I was on your side? You're more naïve than I thought..."

Was listening to "Worst in Me" by Unlike Pluto and it gave me Accomplice AU brainworms (it fits the AU so damn well!)! Just Shadow Zen and Konoe really!

Further context: This was an AU idea that came about on Twitter when I suddenly started shipping those two (Hero X Villain ships are one of my weaknesses, I couldn’t help it! XD) and it just went off from here! Basically, prior to P5S, they encounter each other and (long story short) a deal was made: Konoe gets to carry out his plan while Zenkichi gets the satisfaction of taking down Owada and avenging his wife due to awakening early. Basically, Zen becomes his own Black Mask except it’s mostly torture (irl and even the Metaverse as Zen still maintains some sort of moral code) and he would actually start giving a damn about him. And yes, he would start out using him as a pawn but got legitimately attached as time went by. Also, there would be a roleswap into the mix since Zen becomes the Kyoto Monarch (more or less losing Valjean in the process until his defeat) at Konoe’s request and Akane is the one who becomes a PT. There is a whole Twitter thread between me and a mutual that has more detail but that’s the gist of it! Also, if Konoe ever got a Persona, it would be Javert (also from Les Misérables)! No contest!
