Selfish (Shadow Yukari) - 5/5

[anonymous]

She felt her knees give out from under her, even with everyone holding her up. They were soon forced to let her down gently, leaning her against the wall, where she was sure she would pass out, and hopefully not wake up again. But instead, she remained awake. No matter how desperately she wanted to just sleep and turn a blind eye to everything that was happening, she remained awake. Forced to watch, forced to accept the part of herself that had appeared before her.

She assumed it was the tower’s doing. Some deep power within Tartarus, making her face all of this, keeping her conscious. It was showing her that she had the power to end it-to end all of the torment she was putting on both herself and her friends. And she would.

Because, yes: Yukari Takeba was a selfish high school girl. But that’s not all she was, and she would prove it here tonight. She could and she would accept every part of herself, even those she tried to deny, if it meant she and her friends could go home safe. And though she obviously needed a little help doing it… she was at least finally strong enough to admit that.

[ asdfg;fd stupid LJ character limits. But yay, finished! I was so glad to see this prompt...I-I like obsess over what the P3 character Shadows would be like, so this was fun to write. It was written rather hastily however, so sorry for any dumb grammar/spelling/typos and things. Yukari is one of my favorite characters, and though I know most of fandom hates her, I hope you liked this anyway ;~; ]

I could hear Shadow!Yukari's voice so clearly, it was so on spot. <3 And I like Yukari too. <3

Writer-non here,

Thank you so much! I was actually really nervous posting this; I've never written anything quite like this before. ^_^ I'm really, really glad you liked it (and I hope others & the OP do too). ♥

This was excellent. I love the slow reveal of Shadow!Yukari, so alike and then so un-alike Yukari herself. It rang completely true -- a great character study!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. Finding the balance between how like or unlike Yukari I should make her Shadow wasn't really easy, but I'm glad what I went with worked! :D
