A/N (It's a long one...):

I KNOW I shouldn't do this because I ALWAYS do this, and NEVER follow through with it, BUTTTTT...

I had a dream about this, and it would NOT leave me alone until I had it written down.

This is going to be a chapter-fic strictly for OC/Canon pairs. Now, that's when you come in. Below this author's note is the template I want you to use. ANY character is avaliable, and I promise I'll write your character with ANYONE you choose (try not to be indecisive, though, and pick one character, aha). Feel free to even leave scenarios you want your lover, and character in; it really helps me out! Each chapter will vary in length—some might be drabbles, others might be full-fledged one-shots. It really depends on my mood, aha.

*If you submitted a character for Redux/Return of the Midnight Channel, feel free to re-submit them. I HIGHLY suggest you add on to it, though, as I've long since added more to the template.

**Depending on the popularity of this fic, I'll write for the NPCs too, but for now, Investigation Team members only.

***If I see that one character is more popular than the other (i.e. 4 people want Yosuke, and no one's with Kanji yet) I might ask you to change your love interest. Sorry, in advance! Just want to keep things... Errr... Even, I guess? I want to write for each character once.

****This story is a first-come, first-serve basis. I'll get to your character eventually, but I can't guarantee it'll be the first one I do.

Any questions (regarding the template, this story, or in general), please PM me! Thank you for taking the time to read this! For now, since this is pretty new for me, I'll be accepting one character for each Investigation Team member at a time (that's, uh... 8 characters?). Once I finish up those, I'll ask for 8 more, and wow! This sounds like a never-ending fic! *slapped* In the next chapter (which will be Main Character/OC), I'll reveal who the first 8 will be.

And so this doesn't get me in any sort of trouble (WHAT? THIS ISN'T A STORY YOU ASDFGHJKL;), below below this author's note is a sample of what this fic will be like!


Here is the template I want you to follow in creating your character (if you don't have one already made). If you need help, or have questions, I can link you to my character's as an example. This template is re-vamped to have both Golden and Arena elements (just in case you want me to write a scenario in that timeline). The Persona section isn't very important, since this will be a love story, so if you leave that out, it's perfectly fine. Try to complete everything else.

An excerpt from the story Champagne:

"That's admirable of you." He says quickly. His eyes drift down to her face, her features beautifully centered before breaking out in a wide smile.

"Thanks..." She buries her face in his neck, his scent—warm, and comforting, and intoxicating—washing over her, "Will you keep watching me, Senpai? I... I want to make you proud."

"I'll always be proud of you, Rise-chan." The last word comes out in a whisper; he pulls her in until there's no room left. His lips meld over hers, hands go to her hips, and she sighs, content. There's no tongue involved, but she can feel the heat rise to her cheeks, anyway—he had a way of making her weak. Her kryptonite. They eventually break for air, and stare for awhile. She holds her hand out; crystals melt on her hand. Her eyes widen.

"Senpai, look! It's snowing~!" She catches snowflakes on her tongue, and he watches, still, observant as always. His father was a military man; he learned to cast away childish things, and picked up a rifle at an early age. He was cool, and calculating—he rarely took light of a situation, never dove headfirst without a plan. But he's long since shed his skin, has become more optimistic. Being with Rise has melted his icy heart.

His face softens in front of her, and he can't help, but smile as she looks back at him. She's wearing an exuberant expression, "Oooh, can we build a snowman?! We can make it look like Teddie~"

He chuckles, "Sure, whatever you want~" He lets her tug his wrists, and follows her. Whatever else she wanted say forgotten in the clouded sky.
