"And they were roommates."
"Oh my god they were roommates."

When the survivors of the 53rd season of Danganronpa wake up to find that the game was all virtual reality, and that all of their friends are still alive, they all face many different challenges. For Shuichi Saihara, most of these challenges involve a certain Kokichi Ouma, who he finds lounging on the couch in the apartment they shared together before the game. Turns out their past selves were childhood friends who eventually fell in love and had been in a rather serious relationship before joining the game. Will Kokichi's lingering crush on the detective and their slowly returning memories of the past become the downfall of their newfound friendship, or will it spark something more?

This fic was heavily inspired by the fic "Second Chances" on AO3 by Lethargic_Lilac. It's a really good read and I highly recommend it. I hope you'll all enjoy my own personal take on the idea.

Cover credits to my amazing friend Akira! It's so pretty he did such a good job!

Kokichi started coughing. The room grew silent as the other Ultimates, who were investigating a murder, turned their attention to the smaller teen. He stopped his hacking, only to say "I'll be back in a sec" before abruptly turning and speed walking out the door. Two small, dark blue petals were left in his wake. This is a Hanihaki story between Kokichi and Shuichi. It will most definitely be shorter in length, so don't be too surprised, heh heh! I'm conflicted, so I will make a good ending and a bad ending (The bad one ending in death). This is my first fic actually, so I hope you enjoy! (All art goes to respective artists) WARNING: There will be some touching on mature subjects (Self harm, depression, homophobia, etc) through this monstrosity of a story! If you are uncomfortable with these things or triggered by them, please read with caution!)

Shuichi Saihara wasn't fond of Kokichi Ouma at first, but a killing game trapped in a school with fifteen other people can change someone's mind. A lot. Though Monokuma says the only way out of the Ultimate Academy is to murder a classmate, perhaps... there is another way? ((Disclaimer: None of the top chapter art or cover art is mine, only the ones in the story directly are mine, or they're an edit. Or they're a picture from the original game.)) SPOILERS!!!

Forgotten memories (Saiouma) by Silly_Danganr0npaFan

(Second book of the trilogy, writing still in process) The killing game we all know started, but something isn't quite right... Someone still remembers their past and they desperately want someone else to remember too, but who could it be? There's only one way to find out. This book is the second book of a trilogy, I recommend you read the first one for more concept. Contains: a lot of angst (obviously) violence (like seriously, this is a Danganronpa fanfic) could possibly contain smut (I would write it separately from other chapters to let people uncomfortable skip it) some fluff strong language Miu Iruma

6 parts Ongoing Mature
‼️All art used in this story will have credits to it's origins- i.e. where I found it Pregame universe; Shuichi Saihara is an upstanding kid with a defensive aura, he's well liked and keeps okay grades. He's usually well dressed and wears a hat 24/7, his silky blue-ish black hair hidden beneath it. He has a few admirers and is definitely more popular than Kokichi; A kid who keeps to himself. He has good grades because Atua forbid his parents find out he brought home anything less than an A, not that they'd be home much to see it. This is shown in his outward appearance, including slightly messy hair, usually a bandaid or two somewhere on his body to cover up a bruise or a gash made by unfriendly hands, and the traditional 2nd year school uniform as opposed to the 3rd, like Shuichi. Shuichi has a best friend named Rantaro Amami, a self-fulfilled prophecy of sorts. His dad was an unsightly character, beating on his mom constantly before being locked in jail. Rantaro is overly protective, inquisitive, and very.. Observant? He seems like an average kid to others, but if you get caught in one of his "stares"- Well.. You're not getting away from it. His light lime green hair is fluffy and well kept, and he wears a 3rd year uniform like his peers. He also has quite a few piercings- Most of which Shuichi was around for. Join these three as they battle with their emotions, questioning themselves every step of the way. Will they have a happy ending, Kokichi and Shuichi becoming Star-Crossed Lovers? Or will they truly live up to the name; Crossed in Love. [‼️⚠️‼️] This story contains the following: 15-18+ Content Heavy mentions of Crime and Death Instances of Self Harm and Suicidal Ideations Descriptions of potentially triggering gore Descriptions of Vomiting Heavy depictions of Anxiety, Depression, and other mental behaviors Viewer discretion is advised.

⚠️ THERE MAY BE DANGANRONPA V3 GAME SPOILERS ⚠️ Two guys, one different from the other. An eccentric, extroverted, too direct one is full of energy, especially a liar. He, Kokichi Ouma, named Ultimate Supreme Leader, calls himself a professional liar. And he is seen as the antagonist of that place, almost as the mastermind. The other boy is insecure, intelligent, fearful, silent and mysterious. And him instead, Shuichi Saihara, The Ultimate Detective, is the one where everyone trusts and who thinks it will be their salvation to come out. But what could happen if one of the two notices the attraction towards the other? Would that be something strange? Unusual?
