inspired by @danggirlronpa ; a place to archive content for rarepairs and underrated characters in danganronpa! (header is by @nyedits and icon by @cyandesu) mod is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
Hello! Welcome to rarepairronpa! A place for all your rarepair and underrated character needs! First things first - please be respectful of people's ships! This is a place to collect content for rarepairs, not a place to fight over them. That being said, anything pedophilic or involving incest will not be reblogged here, as it makes me personally uncomfortable. Please don't fight about that! Again, please be respectful.
This blog is inspired by @danggirlronpa and their blog! Please go show them some love!
I, the mod, am nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. This blog is completely run by me and me alone! Please be mindful with demands because of this, this is a passion project, not an obligation.
Anything abusive will be tagged "tw abuse", so please block that tag if you don't want that. The ships that are considered rarepairs here are ships with under 500 works in them on ao3.
As for poly ships, those will be tagged with "poly ship", and will be allowed as long as they have under 500 works in the tag. For example, Hinanami and Komahina aren't allowed, but Komahinanami is. The tags will be the poly ship and the individual ships for blocking purposes, even if the individual ships aren't rarepairs.
For crossover pairings, all are applicable except for Sansmaeda, as that one makes me personally uncomfortable. Crossover content will be tagged "crossover" and "crossover pairing".
Ships I personally am a fan of will be tagged "dealers choice". This is so that I can find them.
All characters will be tagged "[first name] [last name]". Any posts that have multiple ships will be tagged "multiple", and any that have non rarepairs in them will be tagged "not rarepairs".
Touko, Kyouko, Ryouko, Souda and Ouma will be spelled with a U. Monaka Towa will be spelled Monaka Towa.
All ships will be tagged with their ship name. When I start reblogging things, I will list the ship names I use here.
Art that isn't ship art will be tagged "not ship".
Platonic relationships will be tagged "platonic relationship" and with their own custom tag (I.E. "despair sisters".)
Remnant of Despair content will be tagged "Ultimate Despair". This includes mastermind and remnant AUs.
Content that I made will be tagged "my content". Posts of me talking will be "mod talks", and asks I get will be tagged with both "mod talks" and "asks".
Art will be tagged "art", fanfic will be tagged "fic", meta will be tagged "meta", headcanons will be tagged "headcanon", edits will be tagged "edit", videos will be tagged "video", amvs "amv", cosplay as "cosplay", icons "icons", playlists "playlist", relationship charts "charts", animatics "animatic", incorrect quotes "incorrect quotes", and aesthetics will be tagged "aesthetics".
Fan kid content will be tagged "fan children". Any pregnancy content will have "tw pregnancy" for blocking purposes.
If anyone I reblog from is uncomfortable with their art being tagged with a ship, tell me and I'll remove the tag and add a platonic one instead.
I will not reblog any romantic content involving Tenko Chabashira and boys, nor any romantic content with Juzo Sakakura and girls (though I will reblog Chisa/Kyosuke/Juzo ot3 art with the assumption that Chisa & Juzo are platonic, as well as platonic content between Tenko & boys and Juzo & girls). This is a personal boundary as I see both of these characters as gay. Anyone else is fair game, even if I tend to headcanon them a certain way. This includes Nagito Komaeda and Kokichi Ouma, who are commonly headcanoned as gay due to their attraction to guys. I will tag the Nagito m/f ships as "Nagito Komaeda f/m ships" and Kokichi's as "Kokichi Ouma f/m ships" for blocking purposes.
Regarding Alter Ego, Chihiro, and both Chiaki's, I consider all of these to be familiar relationships except human!Chiaki and Chihiro, and they will be tagged as such. For example, AI Chiaki and Chihiro work will be tagged platonically, but human Chiaki and Chihiro work romantically. This is simply up to my judgement/discretion, of what is human Chiaki and what is AI Chiaki, and I will mainly be using context to judge such things.
Under the cut is a complete list of ships that do not count as rarepairs for this blog, liable to be updated, as well as the ship names I'm using for this blog.
Ships that won't be on this blog:
- Byakuya Togami/Touko Fukawa

- Makoto Naegi/Kyouko Kirgiri
- Makoto Naegi/Mukuro Ikusaba
- Sakura Ogami/Aoi Asahina

I'm counting any ship that have over 500 works on ao3 as popular ships, and any under 500 to be rarepairs. This is perhaps a wide net to cast, and might change later, but is how I'm running things currently.
matsushima married au from the vault bc i am sickk anyway let me know if ya wanna see more of this au
ETA: HES THE #1 FAN OF HER MANGA just fucking realized that fan is missing and the fact the font turned my hashtag to "No." does not help me here
Hmmmphhhh immediately slacked on my duty to post these fics here. Anyway, finished these on the... third? But then got so caught up in my aroace week works (self inflicted, not for a properly ran event) that I, well. Didn't post these. Whoops.
brimfire:
Why does her senpai, that girl with sparkling eyes, feel so far away from her? Untouchable even with her hand in hers.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Two: Simulation.]
A sequel to that previous Miaya/Chisa work! Hmm, was also thinking of maybe doing some Alter Ego/Kyouko stuff for this day, but. Ended up going with Miaya and Chisa instead. This one isn't my favorite on here, but it does make a good showing. Talked about some interesting stuff with it in the comments, at least.
cherry blossoms:
Mikan Tsumiki is not a heroine.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Three: Heroine.]
THIS ONE I LOVE. just. I love Mikan. She's haunting the previous works narrative, so to explore her here is, hmm. Fun. This is a Mikan POV to an already existing series; you need the previous work in the series to understand the wider context of what's happening, so like... I suggest you do that, but I can't make you? It's also a madoka magica crossover - specifically with the idea of connecting Junko Kaname with Junko Enoshima. I like this one a lot because it plays a lot with Mikan's psyche. And I'm just fond of the AU. And Junkan. Though, warning for past abuse; Junko in this is in the middle of a redemption arc, but in the past has hurt Mikan.
in vain:
When she saw her staring, she grinned. Like a shark flashing her teeth, having smelt blood in the water. She waved at her, with her whole body, eyes a pit of darkness. Chiaki had swallowed. They should have sparkled, twinkled, but there was nothing to her but night. She saw nothing in her, to her. Like looking into a pit. Whatever universe Mikan could see, blushing face and stuttering, Chiaki Nanami could not grasp it.
“Hello, Nanami-senpai.” She said. “I've heard a lot about you.”
Chiaki Nanami always knew Junko Enoshima would kill her.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Four: Pre-Tragedy.]
Enonami for pre-tragedy! A small little slice of their relationship in a version of a hypothetical DR3 rewrite. Really shows off Chiaki's kindness here, which was fun to lean into/explore.
saccharine:
Sugar is all there is to Ruruka Ando.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Five: Sugar.]
Part one of a short two shot exploring Toxicandy/Ruruseiko. Ruruka's POV. I'm a passionate Ruruka lover/defender and I will be until the day I die.
medicinal:
There is more to Seiko Kiruma than medicine.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Six: Medicine.]
Part two of the previous days entry, this time from Seiko's POV. These two are made of so much misunderstandings and paranoia towards each other, it's genuinely pretty sad.
another chance:
“Wait, so you used to wear braids?”
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Seven: Braids.]
Junko/Touko and Toukomaru one shot about Touko's past braids. Essessive use of the nickname Toki, because it will never not be cute. Putting on this blog for the Junko/Touko stuff, since... Toukomaru is not a rarepair lol.
so keep your heart, cause I've already got one:
“You joined fucking Future Foundation, Junko?”
Junko took a step back, eyes widening as she recognized Mikan Tsumiki as naturally as breathing. She was disguised, of course, but that didn't matter. Junko would recognize her anywhere. Her eyes steeled, straightening up as she looked at what some people were dubbing her ‘Nemesis’.
Mikan Tsumiki, her ex-girlfriend.
Current Ultimate Despair. And also, current problem.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-Eight: Future Foundation.]
Also apart of a series; would be ideal to read the previous work in it. Is actually a sequel to one of the Junkan week fills (the hope day specifically). I'm really fond of this series too, so, like, it's definitely one of the works on this list that I like most. This whole series is basically just... exploring the consequences of redeemed!Junko. Which is really fun to play with, really.
And those are all of them! Officially marking the end of femslash February! Hope everyone had fun!
SO. For the past few days I've been trying very very hard to catch up on femslash February. Not completely caught up yet, but. Here's what I've written so far that I haven't posted here yet.
death of me:
Defeated, Chihiro crossed her arms and buried her head in them. “Ughhh… Enoshima, you will be the death of me…”
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Sixteen: Technology.]
Chihiro/Junko for the technology prompt. Knew I wanted to do them for this immediately, however I think I got burnt out finishing Junkan week, as well as getting sick, and just getting writers block on this in general. Still a little under the weather but I'm getting better!
submitting:
“Can I do your hair, Tsumiki-chan?”
Mikan Tsumiki squeaked, heartbeat accelerating at how close Ryouko leaned into her. “Wh-What?”
Mikan wasn't used to this. Mikan wasn't used to her. Her eyes curved into crescents, smiling and sparkling and delighted all at once. Like somehow, she found Mikan Tsumiki, with her ugly hair and watery eyes and squeaking, stuttering voice cute.
“I want to put your hair in ponytails!”
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Seventeen: Ponytails.]
Was thinking of doing Kotoko/Monaka for this day, but bandit beat me to it, and I just kind of wasn't feeling it. Hence: Ryoumiki again. Set in the same verse as one of my Femslash February prompt fills from last year. Fluff on its surface but there is a bit of sinisterness in the symbolism of the ponytails & the context of the previous work. My other thought was junmugi... but I ended up going with this in the end.
stalemate:
Junko and Sayaka both wore disguises.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Eighteen: Disguise.]
Now this one I actually really like! Knew immediately that I wanted to do Maizoshima for this prompt. This one deals with fame to some degree and relatedly, also alludes to Junko having a (fame-induced) ED, so warning for that. But I love spreading the maizoshima awfulness <3 they make me ILL.
magical, miracle girl:
“You said you had a solution to my speech aid.” Miaya reminds.
“Ah, right!” Chisa opened her bag, grabbing papers and thrusting them at her. “You said you didn't like how uncute your voice was, so I thought… What's cuter than a mascot character! Look at these designs I did.”
Miaya did. They were extremely poorly drawn.
“A bunny?” Miaya blinked at her.
“What's cuter than that!” Chisa gushed.
“Yukizome-senpai.”
“Yes?”
“These designs are awful.”
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Nineteen: Rabbit.]
MY FAVORITE CHISA SHIP. MIAYA/CHISA. completely fanon but I am SO attached to them. I basically just made up the entire relationship but... they are so important to me... knew waaay in advance I'd do these two for this prompt.
differences:
Komaru Naegi is glaring at Junko Enoshima. This is not unusual, and in a lot of ways, this is not odd. Not for them. Komaru is often glaring at her more than not these days, and Junko is just as often unimpressed by it. The odd thing, Komaru will admit if pressed, is that Junko Enoshima is transparent and floating as she rolls her eyes and rests her head in the crook of her palm; because Junko Enoshima is dead.
But for Komaru Naegi, it really wasn't unusual. Junko's been dead the whole time she's known her, from the very first time she met her as she invisibly played with Monaka's hair, eyes flicking to Komaru and widening as she just knew from how their eyes met across the room—till now, with her staring at her with flat eyes and flat mouth and despairing gaze.
Komaru Naegi can just see ghosts. That's all. That, too, is completely ordinary to her. Her own “common sense.”
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty: Bear.]
Another one of my favorites! Probably because I adore junkomaru. Their parallels/foils are so interesting to me...
cult of personality:
Angie's eyes were like the ocean, and Junko's were like the sky.
[Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-One: Ocean.]
Angie/Junko set in my V3 remnant AU in fact extended universe. Can be read stand alone (at least for now) and a bit of an outlier because it WILL have more chapters that don't really have to do with the prompt.
And that's it so far! Will hopefully keep you updated on these fics from here on out.
hiiii i wanted to say that your blog is such a good idea!!! :D
i was wondering if shuichi x kiibo counted as a rarepair? :o
(personally i’m not sure whether they’re a rarepair or not, some of my friends think they are though)
My standard for rarepair is if they have under 500 works on ao3. Looking at the Shuichi/Kiibo tag on ao3... they have 491 works 😬 which... makes me unsure if I should count it, since it's only 9 works away from being over? Hmm.
It is definitely a less common work than the really big pairings, but given my standard of rarepair, only barely counts, and probably not for long. I do really like the ship though! Their love hotel together is especially cute.
And thank you!! I don't think I'm the best at running this blog sometimes, but I am very passionate about rarepairs aha. I wanted to spread the love for them!
sorry i forgot about the term "being honest/emotionally open" and "emotionally vulnerable" was on my mind as the closest thing when i was typing that ask 😂 but yes i do agree. Ryoko wouldn't really get hurt from Celeste's treatment (using Ryoko as an ego boost and exploiting her openness in a game Ryoko herself isn't aware of). She might learn of Celeste's true motives later on... but she's gonna forget, rinse and repeat.
On Celeste's side... I think she probably realizes that using Ryoko as one of her "ammunitions" in the psychological war she's waging against an absent Junko isn't a really good move it ought to be, and it wouldn't really affect Junko that much (hell, it isn't even affecting Ryoko!), she realizes that she's losing both the games against Junko and Ryoko, but she can't help but keep on doing it to Ryoko, because that's how Celeste has operated for most of her life: looking down on people, wanting to be less vulnerable than them, wanting to be one step ahead of them. Everything is some kind of a game to her. Old habits die hard, after all. And Ryoko is too tempting a bait to resist.
It's unfair to Ryoko, she knows, but then... it's Junko she's waging a war against, so I don't think Celeste would mind being a bit underhanded. (not that she's winning anyway lol)
Very true that Celestia might not be able to help herself, even if she realizes it's a losing game; emotional vulnerability is very very hard for her, as well as emotional openness. Her whole looking down on people and lying sthick is all to cover the fact that Celestia is very much afraid- it's a self defense mechanism, to try and stop her from getting hurt. Ryouko wouldn't be able to overcome it easily, because she's not really the type of person to care about whether the other person gives her the same openness she does them- and even if she develops that, she'll just forget the whole thing again. She doesn't really see it as a problem in a lot of ways. So Celestia is somewhat just, stuck. She doesn't know how to stop playing the game. Her whole life has been one. And in a way, I think she is, through trying to continue playing with Junko, not willing or able to let go of the idea of Junko, even if now she has Ryouko. Dealing with Ryouko is hard for anyone who knew Junko before this, but with Celestia being so guarded, it may be even harder for her than it would be for a lot of others.
So I think in some ways, the longer the situation drags out, the more miserable the whole thing is for Celeste... meanwhile Ryouko is just happy to be with her. They are operating on two fundamentally different wavelengths.
any thoughts/headcanons about celeste x ryoko? personally i think ryoko would forget "celeste's" name and starts calling her taeko, much to celeste's dismay ajahdjshd
on a serious note, with how narcissistic (imo) celeste is, she kinda would use ryoko as an ego boost. idk if that makes sense but when ryoko was junko, their relationship feels like a chess game or a poker match to me, with celeste being the one that has her moves figured out too fast. she wants junko's approval, her affection, her love, or any kind of vulnerability that would have celeste come out one step above junko. and with junko being junko, well.
and ryoko wears her heart on her sleeve. she's extremely vulnerable, and ryoko would be the ace up celeste's sleeve in their hypothetical poker match, the confirmation that junko does indeed care about her, the emotional vulnerability that celeste could exploit. she does love ryoko/junko back but imo, celeste's biggest flaw is her inflated ego—it gets in the way of her trying to form any attachments—and she would use ryoko as a way to get back at junko.
I have finally, finally gotten to answering this after days of saying I would! Oof, so sorry it took me so long.
But I really like this interpretation! Of Ryouko being confirmation to Celeste that Junko does love her, and having the emotional vulnerability that Celeste craves that she doesn't get from Junko. I think she would like this two fold—because I think Celeste does want to be cherished, so... Ryouko unabashedly cherishing her would soothe that part of her. But as you said... she also likes having some degree of power over people, especially because the Junko/Celeste dynamic is such a give or take where Junko holds all the cards (I'm invisioning Celestia and Junko as sort of... locked in a battle of love. Sort of like Kaguya-sama love is war, where both of them are sort of in a competition to make the other be vulnerable with them... only saw the first episode of that anime, but—something like that is what I'm envisioning) and Celeste is left scrambling. So Ryouko would be... extremely validating for Celestia in multiple ways, and I do think she'd sort of get back at Junko with Ryouko; lightly bullying her at times.
Part of that "getting back" at her is just. Well. Making her admit she loves her, which Ryouko does easily and freely, not knowing it's supposed to be a secret she keeps close to her chest. And Celestia loves that. I think where it becomes hurtful to Ryouko is the fact that Celeste never does the same, but... I actually don't think Ryouko would mind that much, because she never minded with Yasuke. She even appreciates that Yasuke doesn't offer her pity like others do. Ryouko has unreasonable faith in love. She knew as Junko that Yasuke loved her, and that's something Ryouko never forgets. She brushes off all his cruelty because she knows instinctively that it's hot air (to some degree). What makes her upset is when Yasuke doesn't believe her when she tells him she loves him. Being denied her own feelings, her own lived reality, is what upsets her. Because the feelings she remembers are the only thing she can trust in her world. More than that, those feelings are her whole world. She can't believe in anything else, because she doesn't remember anything else.
And that's... kind of how she likes it. Ryouko and Junko are both afraid of the world, of the despair of the world, it's just how they deal with that that differs. Junko choses to embrace that despair, so it can't truly hurt her. Ryouko chooses to forget. To run. These are both born of the same thing—fear. Ryouko instinctively knows that... if she let the world in, it would hurt her. In a way, it always does; everytime she forgets about the world, that's the world rejecting her. It hurts. But that's paradoxically why she embraces forgetting it—because it means she'll forget that it hurts. And... Yasuke is the only exception to this. She loves him, and he's all he remembers. So that's the only thing she can have faith in. Her only connection to the world. She clings to it, because it's all she has.
But. It also means he's the only thing that can hurt her. And that's why you get her breakdown at him in DR0, with her begging him to make her forget about him. Because Yasuke is the only thing she cares about, and that means he's the only thing that can cause her despair. If she forgets about him, she'll be entirely free from despair. From the world she thinks is inherently cruel. From the world she fears. That's why she doesn't want to remember. Because then, she'll have to care about the world, and that hurts. She'd rather it have "nothing to do with her," so she forgets. Ryouko is just as contradictory and twisted as Junko in that way; because forgetting hurts her, but if she forgets, she'll forget even that hurt. That's why she clings to Yasuke; he's all she has, and if she loses him, she'd have nothing. That's why she wants to forget Yasuke; because if she has nothing, she can never be hurt by the world again.
It's the exact same reason why Junko embraces despair.
(Well, of course it is. They're the same person.)
So. How would this relate to Celestia/Junko? Hmm. Well, I think Celeste would have just as hard a time getting under Ryouko's skin. Because, while she's winning in the sense that Ryouko is being vulnerable and honest, Ryouko... doesn't actually see this as a competition at all, in the first place. She also would have faith in Celeste's love and disregard her words, because, like... she knew Celestia loved her as Junko, too; the fun was just getting her to admit that. So... Celestia's bullying wouldn't... bug her that much. Maybe she'd theatrically mimic upset, like she did to some degree with Yasuke, but... that's more of a game to her. (Even if she somewhat means that upset sincerely.) I'm thinking specifically when Yasuke would call her ugly, she'd basically be like "I'll fix it!" which she meant, but she was very theatrical about it, and wasn't actually that upset, because she knew even if Yasuke found her ugly sincerely, he'd still love her. So: sincerely miffed about being called ugly and willing to "fix it" to accommodate Yasuke's taste, but also not deeply upset about it because she deep down knew he'd love her anyway. Playing it up to some degree because it's banter, and that's what they do, that's how they have fun. Ryouko isn't really taking his words seriously, and neither is he. (Which is kind of the foundation of what upsets her later on: she doesn't realize some of what he said is meant sincerely, and she's upset when she realizes that he also didn't take the foundation of their banter- her love for him- seriously either. Ryouko knows that Yasuke loves her, so he doesn't take his hate to heart, despite that hate also being sincere. She takes their banter as unserious, even though Yasuke's words are founded on sincere feelings. Similarly, Yasuke doesn't take Ryouko's love seriously, because he doesn't believe in it—he thinks Junko was only using him from the start. So he doesn't take her banter seriously either, even though that was also built on sincere feelings. Which... upsets Ryouko in that breakdown scene when she realizes. Only for her to forget that hurt again, which.... means this conflict is never solved.)
So I could see Ryouko just... brushing off everything and treating Celestia's power plays and teasing as... just a game between them, as banter. She wouldn't take the base of them seriously either, and she... wouldn't really be bothered by it. So... Celestia is left trying to win a game they aren't playing. Combined with Ryouko calling her Taeko, Celestia could eventually find the whole thing very grating.
Because she IS winning against Junko, but Junko isn't even there TO play, and Ryouko is playing something completely different. If Celestia was playing chess against Junko, Ryouko is playing checkers. They're just not operating on the same wavelength anymore... which could paradoxically make Celestia insecure, which would make her seek even more validation from Ryouko.
Ryouko on her side is like... wow! Taeko really likes it when I tell her I love her! She must also really love me to want to hear it so much!
“Why did you leave me, Junko?”
She doesn't even look like herself. She looks—soft. Pink lips, instead of red. Sweaters where leather should be. Red, pink—those were typical, but not their construction; it made her look like a stranger. She is staring, with wide eyes, something haunted.
“Mikan-senpai.”
Her voice doesn't even sound the same. There is a stranger where Mikan's lover should be. She is wearing her face; but she is doing it wrong. She is saying her name; but she is saying it wrong. She is looking at her with pleading eyes; but she is looking wrong.
“Didn't you say you forgave me?”

The last day of Junkan week is finally upon us! I really like what I wrote for the hope prompt, actually. It's based on my old rp blog @junkhope , which... is super old so I don't recommend checking out, but yeah. The despair prompt is shorter than I'd like, but... it did turn out okay, I think.
I had super fun participating in the event this year!!! Thank you so much for hosting it.
Mikan's hands were cold. A nurse's hand. Junko Enoshima leaned into them from where they laid across her forehead with a groan, seeking out the relief of heat from her fever addled mind, her skin flushed and uncomfortably warm, even as she shivered. Mikan tutted at whatever temperature she felt there, frowning and pulling away; Junko whined at the loss, and Mikan shushed her gently.
“It's okay, Junkie-bear, your Mikan is still here.” She assured, flicking her bangs back before leaving entirely—a part of Junko wanted to grab her hands and pull them back to her forehead, but she felt too weak to even do that. “I'm not leaving, love. Not for anything.”
[Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Six: Comfort.]

weeds:
For a long time, when Mikan panicked, she had no one to comfort her.
In fact, she had the opposite- people who seemed determined to making her crying, hyperventilating sobs even more intense. There was a tangible cruelty in her life; people seemed determined to make her hell worse and worse, and there was no love to be found.
Until Junko Enoshima.
[Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Six: Panic.]
This day might have some of my favorite works in it! I think these two + yesterday's heaven prompt + tomorrow's hope fill are my favorites. I actually wrote these two in reverse order. The comfort prompt also has my favorite nickname featured in these works: Junkie-bear. I adore overly affectionate, cheesy nicknames. Plus... bear. Horrible, cutesy nicknames are amazing. I wish I put that nickname in EVEN MORE of these works, because that's how you know someone's absolutely lovesick. (Which! Fits for the work a lot, considering the title!) Another thing- this day, the despair fill prompt has the non-abusive dynamic, set in a despair universe... and the hope prompt has the unhealthy dynamic set in a non despair universe. Funny how that works out, huh? It's also .... a bit similar to what I have planned for Me and Ms. Wolf, but... it's different enough I can justify it? Honestly I like how it turned out a fair amount...

Her hair, her outfit, her accessories—it's all just pink, pink, pink, pink.
Her personality, too.
She's all fluff, all sugar, all lovely and sweet—at least with Monaka. All things bubblegum, all things strawberry, all things pink, pink, pink, pink, pink—the way her cheek blush, the way she sweetly holds her hands, the way she looks at Monaka—
It all makes her skin crawl.

*swings a discourse bat* Kotoko/Monaka for day fifteen, pink! Prompt list from @danggirlronpa still. But seriously read the authors note before starting discourse on this post. Romance isn't inherently sexual and kids can get crushes, I know, astonishing to believe. Source? I was a kid once. Some of you really do love to parrot homophobic talking points when it comes to this, I swear. Not to mention how acephobic it is to believe romance = sexual. (You want another source? I'm Ace too.) Anyone sexualizing Monaka and Kotoko will automatically be blocked, BTW. With that out of the way... take my poor baby gays for this day, they are so tragic I swear. Doomed childhood romance. Definitely unhealthy but as someone who had a friendship a lot like it when I was younger, I do find it compelling. (Hope my Monaka grew out of that, but I don't really know, since we lost contact.) I originally wanted to write a lot more of this, with Kotoko's parting moments with Monaka and then reuniting as teens, but... I ended up reaching an ending I liked and so I.... did not do that. Whoops.
I want you, I need you, oh god / don't take these beautiful things that I've got:

More works for Junkan week!! First one is definitely one of my favorites that I've written for this week. Second one is.... well I really like it conceptually, but I'm not sold on the implementation? Also warning for my religious followers; the second one is a demon & angel AU which might not be your cup of tea, depending. The first one is simply comparing Mikan's time with Junko to heaven, so like, should be fine for even my religious followers, I think. But the second one might be one some of you may want to skip.
Also I learned my lesson from yesterday and am posting before I go to sleep in the early ams for this post!! Yaaay.
“I know I'm… not the most useful, or skilled… but I want to protect Maizono-chan like she's been doing for me. We both have these megaphones, so… maybe we can protect each other? I… people called me a white knight a lot online, you know… but I truly think being Sayaka's knight would be lovely. Would you let me?”
Slowly, she raised her hand to her mouth, pressed her bare-lips in a chase kiss, and bowed her head. Sayaka almost thought she'd kneel to complete the image. Her heart fluttered, and Sayaka blinked tears from her eyes. She wondered if they looked like stars; if her dark eyes were the same as hers. “My knight, then,” she whispered, and Komaru raised her head with a brilliant smile.

Sayaka/Komaru for the prompt music! Prompts from @danggirlronpa ! I'm lateeee this was meant to be finished and posted waaay sooner, it's actually past midnight for me here so technically just after valentines 😭 I had such writers block on this, I knew I had to do a ship with Sayaka, Kaede, or Ibuki but what? Decided to go with Sayaka and from there I was like... Komaru/Sayaka would be neat with this prompt soo... I honestly didn't think of this at the time, but I could also have done Sayaka/Ayaka, which I'm kind of kicking myself for not realizing earlier ahaha... the other idea I had was Kaede playing for Maki's orphanage like she promised in her FTEs, but I had already done Kaemaki? And I didn't know where to start with that one. (Plus that would mean I wouldn't be able to post it here, since Kaemaki isn't a rarepair lol.) Soooo...! You get Sayaka and Komaru instead. Maybe have partially been influenced by reading @goshdangronpa 's Sayaka/Komaru fic? I think that put me in a Mood to write these two. I adore them...
