[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5194916/1/Persona_3_Fairly_English_Story Persona 3: Fairly English Story] started as an AU Fic of what the author thinks [[Persona 3|Persona 3: FES]] would have been like if Minato Arisato had been raised in England after his parents' death. Then things started to deviate from the original source material, and [[Crazy Awesome|Stuff Happened]].

'''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5194916/1/Persona_3_Fairly_English_Story Persona 3: Fairly English Story]''''' started as an AU Fic of what the author thinks [[Persona 3|Persona 3: FES]] would have been like if Minato Arisato had been raised in England after his parents' death. Then things started to deviate from the original source material, and [[Crazy Awesome|Stuff Happened]].

It's told in first person from Minato's perspective, giving him more of a personality while still keeping the sleepy, expressionless teen that Fanon has made him out to be, while taking a few levels in badass along the way. Towards the later chapters, things start to get a little out of hand, yet it still somehow manages not to break canon most of the time, even the canon for its somewhat direct sequel, [[Persona 4]].

It also serves as a deconstruction of the concept of the [[Mary Sue]] / [[Black Hole Sue]]. Basically, Minato reaches Sue status, then the world refuses to play by the Sue's rules.

The author has posted the first chapter of the sequel (titled [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5860066/1/ For Every Soul], because get it? FES?) and there's an omake series called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5866195/1/FESxtras FESxtras], formerly called "Investigation Team Yo!". Then he goes on a two-year mission. Casey W has also begun work on an official sequel from the viewpoint of Seta Souji as he goes through the events of the altered Persona 4 canon. It's called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6148119/1/Persona_4_Face_Every_Shadow Face Every Shadow]. All tropes related should go below.

The Author recently did a prequel called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6294680/1/Stay_Awake_With_Me Stay Awake With Me], which covers the events between Minato's parents dying and him moving to England. It's ~~alrady~~ a [[Tear Jerker]] just on its own, but if you've already read Fairly English Story, then it's just absolutely heartbreaking. A rewrite is also currently in the works, titled [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6055388/1/Rebuild_of_Fairly_English_Story Rebuild of Fairly English Story]. If you considered reading Fairly English Story but was put off by the poor writing quality, then check these out.
