21XX年08月12日 (17 august 2025, multi-chaptered, in progress)There is something new in the 1-A classroom.It starts when one of their classmates is late. Nothing weird. All of them (save a small handful) have always been a bit late. Maybe an unexpected absence from about half.Their teacher sends someone to check the dorms.Knock, knock.The door doesn’t open.-There is an unfamiliar email address sitting on Aizawa’s desk.How are these two things related?

notes: I :heart: depressing mysteries babe

Bakugo Katsuki is a Fucking Idiot (17 july 2025, multi-chaptered, in progress)
Deku is pinned underneath him, and suddenly Katsuki has a very close up view of all the things he didn’t want to notice about his ex-childhood best friend. His flushed, sweaty face. The scoop of his neck. His bobbing Adam's apple. Underneath the glow of the gym lights, Deku’s eyes contain two twin halos, and - holy fuck, there is no way Katsuki is thinking Deku, the previous bane of his existence, is attractive.Katsuki has a giant, ugly and pathetic crush on Deku.This is the story of how he doesn’t deal with it.

notes: this guy (bakugo) is so fucking funny to write man. i love psychologically torturing my characters

you don't get it, it's not the same (13 july 2025, two-shot, finished!)
Katsuki took a long look at Deku. A long one. “You’re always giving up shit for other people,” he replied. “Fuck you,” he said, “for doing that. Nobody asked you to.”And there Deku sat, with his stupid fucking watery grin, and retorted, “But I’m a hero, Kacchan. That’s what heroes do.”-Five things Midoriya has had to give up in his life, plus the one we all know about.

notes: exploration of midoriya's CRIPPLING self esteem issues!!! this is my baby where i project onto midoriya like there is no tomorrow

They vary from mundane thoughts to hysterical proclamations of suicide, causing Shouto to learn more about @ZGVrdQ, until he realizes he’s starting to seek out these tweets himself. And then one day, his fat thumb hits like.Fuck.

Death looks at a lot of people.One day, someone looks back.(P.S. The narration style is based off The Book Thief, but nothing else from the book is used. Only the narrator.)

i'm so sick of myself (20 november 2023, two-shot, completed!!)
The man in question is still standing there. Atsushi has enough sense not to make any sudden moves, as he knows fully well of Osamu’s former position as a Port Mafia executive. Atsushi detests the idea of suspecting him, but Osamu doesn’t know him. He could be armed and empty a magazine’s worth of bullets into him at a single wrong move.Well, not that it would be a big deal, but Atsushi doesn’t exactly like the idea, unsurprisingly.“Sorry. I don’t really know where I am,” the younger Osamu finally replies, a hint of false mirth in his voice. “I’d introduce myself, but you seem to be awfully familiar with me, using my given name and all of that. So, I’ll say this instead,” he says, turning to look Atsushi in the eyes –“Who are you?”
-
Atsushi has always wondered what Osamu was like in the Mafia.Now, he gets a chance.day 1 of dzts week

my brother told me he's gonna kill himself tonight (06 aug 2023, oneshot)
Tonight, Dazai will kill himself.That’s what Ranpo told him, pulling him aside during the work day, whispering it into his ear. His face was stone, and the way his voice was troubled, eyes open–Oh.Ranpo is telling the truth, isn’t he?Title from Nintendo 64 - Alex G.
Day 3 of dzts week

New Look (25 july 2023, oneshot)
Dazai picks Atsushi off the road and polishes him into something great. Dazai both completes and ruins him.I love you, Atsushi.5 + 1 instances of touch in the Beast Universe.Day 2 of dzts week

notes: please read the tags LOL
i love beast universe!!! this is like my favourite thing that i've written as of rn

i'm sorry for using up your battery while you were driving us home, please don't leave me at the junction between first and main. (may 20 2023, one-shot)
Ouma and Saihara aren't doing well with their relationship.

inotes:
drawn by THE MOST wonderful person: suu!!! click on the image for their twitter. please. im begging.

floorboard complex (april 21 2023, multi-chaptered, in progress)
Ouma's brain has gone for a bit of a tumble. No problem there, except there's a class trial right after, nothing is starting to make sense, and Saihara is worried about him more than usual.Which, to be fair, isn't far off from the large bleeding gash on his head. It makes his head go all wormy.

notes:
I started this fic because I wanted to contribute to the concussion trope. I have a thing for concussion fics. Also my first multichaptered Danganronpa V3 fic and the most edited.

a certain family's tea party (12 dec 2022, two-shot, completed)
Ouma faces his sacrifices, favourites, and everything in between through a one-on-one tea party.(No one can hurt us now.)
based on this MV

art: me
notes: I love Kururingo's songs. It's really sad she deleted them all, but there's still copies floating around, at least. A Certain Family's Tea Party is one of my all time favourite songs. I wanted to write some kind of closure-character-study-amalgamation for Ouma. Boom. Second chapter is in the works, but low on the priority list. My first finished work, but I really want to edit it.

it's not fair! (edited 28 dec 2022, multi-chaptered, in progress)
“Saihara-chan is si-ick!”
Ouma confronts Saihara about his developing sickness. Saihara looks away and clenches blood splattered sleeves; blood that is disguised by dark fabrics.Just like always, Ouma sees right through him.
(Disease swap. Saihara has Momota's sickness instead. Does he hide it as well, though?)

as always click on image for credit
notes: I shit you not, this fic was festering in my drafts for a WHILE. My writing process is writing down story ideas in my notes app, writing it out in Google Docs, and proofreading in AO3. I have big plans for this fic, and I'm dreading writing the trial :)

happy birthday, saihara (8 sept 2021, two-shot, finished)
Saihara wakes up, and goes to the dining hall as always. On his way there, he doesn't see anyone. Why?

notes: Very simple happy birthday fic for one of my favourite characters of all time. I don't typically write/draw for a character's birthday, so this is my first.

the man like the universe (4 august 2021, multi-chaptered, in progress)
Saihara confessed to Ouma more as a bucket list thing - something to do to celebrate graduating, or to get Harukawa off his back - than ever thinking Ouma reciprocated. He was red-faced, sweating and stuttering.And Ouma said yes, his eyes lit up like the billions of stars in the galaxy; something to cherish, something beautiful.Saihara should've known better - Ouma was like the universe, expansive, breathtakingly pretty. Even when he was in his grasp, it felt like he didn't know him at all.That's why it didn't last.(where did you go, my love?)

notes: This fic was inspired by a comic, actually! Here's the link. I borrowed the title from it - originally I was planning for Ouma to abandon Saihara and leave for something else. Not a person, though. Maybe phantom thief shannigans, haha. But then I decided to turn it into a mystery - and here's a secret! - I'm using this fic as my outlet for confusing codes. I'm gonna put in encrypted shit. Don't worry though, I'll put in solutions.Anyways, I'm genuinely excited to write it out. It's definitely gonna be long though.

guess what (24 jul 2021, one-shot)
"I, um, wasn't expecting to be here.." Saihara Shuichi says, fiddling with his fingers.Shy and stuttering Saihara Shuichi is put on the spot. Let's hear it from Danganronpa's last mastermind, the one who 'destroyed' Danganronpa himself!
warning: suicide mention
part two of mastermind interviews

notes: I have a thing for different Mastermind AUs. Don't be surprised if I write an actual in-game fic about it. This doesn't occur in the same universe as the Ouma one, but they still share many of the same characteristics. This can be read by itself but I highly suggest reading Good Morning first.

chapter five formula (20 jul 2021, one-shot)
A culprit or victim, take your pick.(In which, Ouma wants to appear so, so clever to Saihara.)

notes: My favourite work so far. I wrote out all 4k words in a single day, and published it. Sad thing is - I used Rich Text and somehow managed to COMPLETELY fuck up the formatting. Oh. My. God. It was a nightmare trying to edit through it, especially 'cause it's my longest chapter(?) ever. It's my baby though, and one of my attempts at writing unbridled angst. Lol.

hiya, my name is ouma kokichi, and i'm gonna die here! (18 jul 2021, multi-chaptered, low priority)
A camera aimed at a hydraulic press.

art: @potetoV3 on twt
notes: God, that description is vague. An experimental form of writing, where I try to go descriptive. This was like a plot bunny - I am writing a chapter 2, but it isn't high on my priority list yet.aka ouma becomes a vlogger in his final moments LMAOOO

good morning! (26 june 2021, one-shot)
Based of the Mastermind Zine interview posts. 'Cause why not.Ouma, the cute and world-wide adored mastermind of the final Danganronpa season is accepting your questions at 4 PM! Make sure to tune in!Quench your curiousity for tonight.

notes: mastermind zine I'm referring to
This shit came to me at like ass o' clock in the morning. It's really dialogue heavy, but I explore how I view his character heavily. Also, sorry to Oumeno shippers. It's not that I hate it, but I personally think Ouma would hate on it LOL

mastermind (5 june 2021, one-shot, technically unfinished)
A look into one of the many alternate possibilities of DRV3.

notes: My first ever posted DRV3 fic! I've written little snppets before, but DRV3 didn't really drive me to write until I got sucked into the fandom for a second time. I wrote this in December 2019 (??? idk) and decided to post it a year and a half later just because. I legitimately don't know what I was going for, but I think it was based off this Ousai fic I read about people being borderline immortal and Danganronpa being one of the only ways to die early. Saihara kept killing himself everyday and Ouma noticed. I lost this fic, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please tell me.

jibaku shounen hanako-kun

unwinding (12 jul 2021, one-shot, technically unfinished?
Yugi Amane has a death wish. (No he doesn’t, but it's the only way Tsukasa will return.)

notes: I got into JBHK!! And I really liked it!! But then I.. got into DRV3 again.. so the obsession was kicked out of the way.

kimi ga shine

0% to 15.5% (3 july 2020, multi-chaptered, low priority)
Shin Tsukimi doesn’t know what he’s doing here. He was working a night shift.. no actually, he was walking there. Shin was abducted next, correct..? Percentages are shoved in his face, and he doesn’t want any part of it.
Too bad, 'cause it was decided way before, when he greeted someone on the rooftop.AU where Sara and Sou switch percentages and how it changes things.

notes: Oh my god, my first ever AO3 fic. This was the first time I wrote in a while. The writing is really bad in the beginning, but I used to sit down during summer of 2020, and edit through it at 7 am in the morning. I have mostly everything planned out for this fic, but I've lost interest in KMGSN for now. I'll try picking it back up after a full-game playthrough, though. I'll be editing it as well, since it's a W.I.P. still.

can i ask you something? (3 jul 2021, two-shot, low priority)
Midori asks everyone questions.

notes: I wrote this like a week or so after playing Chapter 3-1B. I still haven't played the Emotion route, and I played when the vgperson website was crashing because of the sheer amount of people trying to access it. It was a smack in the face when I found out (spoilers) that Shin is Kanna's sister. They just say Shin has a sibling in the Logic route and call it a day, LOL. Anyways, I really like writing Midori. I wanted to feel out his interactions with all the characters. Second chapter is in progress, but not on my priority list.

imitation is a perilous game (11 aug 2020, one-shot)
Basically, I took little scenes, and build on them. Or, concepts that I sorta wanted to write out, so it's all 'snapshots' in a sense.

notes: Uggh.... I took a pretty long break for writing between my KMGS phase and my DRV3 phase, so the quality of writing is.. a drastic jump. I don't like this fic because of the formatting and how short everything is, but I don't like taking down my work/touching old fics for the sake of preservation. Also, my titling of fics were dreadful.

unrealistic delusions (20 july 2020, two-shot, really low priority)
This is my 'what-if' for the Third Main Game.---Distrust divides 'us' versus 'him'. Therefore, we're only cutting loose ends.Don't blame me, when everything goes awry.
Okay?---
This story is written in third person, by the way.

notes: Argggh... makes me cringe.. to be honest, I haven't reread my older works in a while. I desperately want to edit it and give it a fresh look, but I'll only do it if I finally write out its second chapter LMAO

heart and soul (7 june 2020, one-shot)
Sou loved art.With the vibrant colours,and stories,He wanted to create his own.
inspired by breaking things into pieces by chocopiesou

notes: This fic held up surprisingly well. Still makes me cringe, though. Honestly, I don't know if the little layer of things I hid into the fic are obvious enough to the reader. Can you tell I like Midori and Shin? God, I had the fattest. Like. Character-crush? But not really? I just liked Midori a lot as a character. Still do.

tower of god

brief stop (14 june 2020, (is supposed to be) multi-chaptered, low priority)
God, uh, Rii and Arc, please don’t kill me.The numbers follow him. Blue hair, blue eyes. Bam can’t breathe for a split second, yet they both carry on nonetheless.Bam can’t handle this. Why?

notes: TOG twitter was like a malignant dream. Great time, though. This was written based off an AU formed in Rii's curiouscat, where it was a combination of soulmate countdowns and.. what were they called? They shared lifetimes. They always met each other but life always intervened. I had this very much planned out, but my writing is so. Bad. I wrote while using the webtoon for basis, but I summarized events pretty badly. I really wanna comb through this and fix the glaring errors - especially since I just rewatched the anime - but I don't know if I wanna. It's been so long since I've written this that the AO3 character tag for Bam changed.

Thanks for visiting!
