An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Hey, so I wrote something again.
VERY HEAVY ON SPOILERS
This is like post canon drama, like an 'if Yuma hadn't left'. There's quite a bit of canon divergence.
There will be more works about this with the other members of the NDA. No explicitly romantic relationships. You can read any of them as romantic tho, dw.

SPOILERS FOR RAINCODE CHAPTER 4 AND DESUHIKO'S GUMSHOE GABS!
So fun fact, this fic was technically made as a joke. I have a tendency to overheat in my Desuhiko cosplay because there are far too many layers. All the heat my body produces literally comes out my neck and can make me very dizzy… so naturally when I was chatting with RainCode friends on discord they said I had to write Desuhiko going through it too… so bam, fic!
This is Halara's design from 'Hallows and Howls'! They're a Werewolf hunter! They have a hoodie and leather jacket to protect them from wolf fangs so they won't get bitten, and cargo trousers to hold equipment. The sash has wolfs-bane and various poisons for monster hunting. I changed their earrings to incense diffuses. They press a button and Wolfs-bane is admitted from them to protect them. Lastly they have a pure silver chain around their neck so vampires and werewolves can't grab them without being in pain. Halara is one badass hunter and no one is getting the jump on them!
Fun fact, this is actually the 2nd drawing I did, I hated the 1st one and redrew it. I will share it in a reblog for those curious.
2 years ago on this day I made my first post about Kokobolt. It was rather silly, but it was the start of me creating for this ship that means so much to me. Kokobolt is special to me as it has helped me through many hard events in my life and I wanted to celebrate that. However I didn't just want to celebrate myself, no, this community is what makes Kokobolt so fun, so this is for all the Kokobolters! So I took it upon myself to draw EVERY SINGLE KOKOBOLT AU this fandom has! If I missed an AU, I apologise!
Note, I only included AUs that are Kokobolt based/focused, so I didn't include the Fallen Detectives as those are mainly my Kokobolt headcanons and the main AU is not Kokobolt based.
College AU: My first ever Kokobolt AU I made. I plan to write the fic soon once God AU is done. Yuma and Desuhiko being roommates and going through college together! A slowburn romance!
Soulmate AU: A lovely project where I worked with @kazinsblog to bring it to life! Yuma and Desuhiko being soulmates whose worlds explode with colour when they meet eyes for the first time.
Swap AU: A fun AU where Desuhiko has amnesia and Yuma is the disguise detective, created by @rindragon-from-twewy for ship week last year! I really am enjoying the fic and look forward to when Yuma enters the story!
Vtuber AU: A story that came to be from one comment me and @kazinsblog exchanged. It is equal parts mine and Kazin's work and it was honestly a joy to write and work alongside Kazin with!
Crime Lord x Subordinate AU: I will admit, this wouldn't exist if it wasn't for @geodraws04 Fallen Detective AU, but this is my own villain Yuma AU! I look forward to sharing more of this AU in the future! Toxic Yaoi that slowly turns into something more. Desuhiko really didn't know what he got into when he needed money.
Shinigami Desuhiko AU: Created by the wonderful @ithinkrobotsarecool where Desuhiko and Shinigami switch roles! Desuhiko is the superstar death god!
Werewolf X Reaper AU: My AU I created thanks to wanting to draw something for Halloween, it is my child and I love writing for Hallows and Howls and these 2 goofballs! Reaper Yuma is also the best clothes design I've ever done! I have so many ideas for this AU and look forward to sharing them all.
Mermaid AU: Drawn for Yuma month/Mermay, this AU while doesn't have much lore is still fun! Mimic octopus Desuhiko is just fun to imagine and mermaid Yuma is fun to brainstorm for!
Zombie Yuma AU: When @rainbow-journalist first shared this AU, I knew I wanted to draw for it! I adore this AU and it's lore and I hope you like this gift! I gave Desuhiko eyebags to show the stress he's been under trying to find Yuma for 9 years and bring him back!
Little Mermaid/Siren Yuma AU: I am loving this AU @rindragon-from-twewy created so much! It's so interesting and I really want to know what happens! Will Siren Yuma and Prince Desuhiko reunite? Yuma was a joy to draw so thank you for the reference!
Shapeshifter AU: Another ship week AU, @draconicsparkle wrote this fic and I loved it so much they wrote part 2 as a birthday present to me. Draconic did amazing writing Kokobolt and I love this AU and the gift for me so much! I had so much fun drawing raccoon Desuhiko! He took some artistic liberties!
Vampire AU: I was in the chat when @sobredunia created this AU and I adore the story! Desuhiko feeds off Yuma out of necessity before the two actually get close. Yuma is doing his best to feed his friend (or maybe they’re actually more, it’s just neither of them can admit the truth).
Pirate AU: @artistry4ce created this AU and it's adorable! I love the designs for Yuma and Desuhiko and did my best to draw them! Desuhiko is ready to show his new crew-mate how it's done!
God AU: The fact this AU will be finished soon makes me sad, but it's been a fun ride. Writing Yuma and Desuhiko being in love over centuries has been so fun! @ithinkrobotsarecool also helped so much with designing Yuma and Desuhiko for this AU and I will always be grateful for that! I thank everyone who's listened to me rambling about this AU of mine.
Peacekeeper Yuma AU: NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FALLEN DETECTIVE AU! This is my AU where Yuma is a double agent. Yomi thinks he's manipulating Yuma but he is still working for the WDO and helping out the NDA. You can tell them apart as FD Yuma has trousers while mine has shorts. Created during Yuma month, this AU is technically not a Kokobolt AU, but I didn't want to leave out my only other AU when I drew for every other one!
String worms: Just a silly extra art I did to reference the art I did for RainCode's 1st anniversary. Desuhiko has his little worm clothes!
I want to thank everyone who's supported me these past 2 years and to all my friends. You all have done so much for me and I'm so happy to be your friend. You also all supported me over the past month I've worked on this project. I never thought I'd actually finish this so thank you. I really hope we continue to celebrate RainCode, and I still have a lot more AU stories in me, so I hope you stick around!

Yuma: Pfff, you dork
Desuhiko: Correction! I'm your dork!
Fubuki's Forte is the most OP forte in the whole game (and the only one Yuma uses in more than one chapter), and our mistakes count as canonical game overs with her rewinding time after each failure, but something I wish could've happened is like. Yuma actually dying. Not just her rewinding back time before he suffers actual damage, but after the fact too.
Maybe it's just my twisted mind doing the talking, but it'd be kinda fun if Yuma died on screen from getting shot by that peace keeper and was left reeling in shock and disbelief that he's still standing a moment after. That he's back before anything happened, that even with the phantom feeling of pain still lingering, there's no evidence that anything happened at all and that it was only some horrible premonition until Fubuki starts going off the original script by desperately guiding him down the correct path to avoid his fate.
I feel like repeatedly dying and repeatedly getting revived by Fubuki would not only truly depict just how fucking powerful her forte is and on a totally separate league from the other detective, but also really put into perspective just how traumatised she is from having to carry such a heavy burden on her shoulders. That she can undo death when she's at the right place at the right time (like what she does for Yuma on screen countless times), and crushing guilt she carries when she isn't or just couldn't be (like how she was unable to go back to save Sachi even once and no attempt was able to prevent Yakou's fate).
And before Yuma, it's not like anyone remembered what happened before she reversed time. None of them have technically seen or experienced anything she just went through. I think Chapter 3 would've been a lot darker in tone with repeated death scenes for Yuma and him having to navigate the trauma of an incident that never actually happened, but at least he would be able to understand her more as a result, and he could've taken her hand and assured her that it's theirs now, and push through it together. That even after she undoes the damage, no matter horrific or emotionally scarring, it won't alienate her from being able to talk to someone who remembers experiencing it as well.
This would’ve worked swapped as well, but Yuma flipping her lid was was just something I had to draw. Also this is just for funsies and not a reflection on my interpretation of their characters.
I loved doing these! Even though I ended up doing only headshots because I had a day to finish them, I still love how all of these came out! Thank you all for your arts, they are amazing and I will cherish them!
My first Artfight is over, and I can say I am really proud of how I did! Sure I joined late, but still, super fun and I hope to participate next year (only join from the start and space my pieces out more, my wrist kind of hurts)
How did the rest of the NDA make it to Kanai Ward?
So I'm like considering making a Raincode animatic (it'd be a short one). But I haven't done most gumshoe gabs or other things in Raincode, I've only gotten around to play the main game.
All this to say I don't know if it's mentioned in game, but I really want to know how they all got over there. Did they all take a train? If you don't actually know an answer I'd love some ideas, I'm a little desperate here😭
My Makoto and Yuma design, I fixed Makotos dollar store mask
Black and white versions because I'm not done cooking guess what I'm doing?
Crack theory
Everything in rain code can be explained by weird science except Fortes so what if the WDO created Fortes like it's a special serum injected into newborns which like alters there Gene's or something,
and there's like a test to pick which baby has heights intelligence and will get the injection or maybe it's an agreement with the parents like "hey parent so we need detectives (because they keep dying ) we will give you money if you let us inject your kid with an unexplained serum"
And after the child is injected there ability forms based on stronger desires but it doesn't always work,it depends on the person
That is such an interesting theory!! It would make sense with how many things have a logical explanation in the game.
Though I always suspected they were genetic considering the Clockfords or the physical form of someone's talent (Desuhiko and Melami for example).
Then again I did once post about how I suspected it could also be related to what someone desired most.
The WDO is definitely not above buying children tho, with the way they just flat out let one guy be in charge of everything. Who knows what the older Number Ones were like.
So I decided to draw Fubuki from my Vtuber AU based on @/Kazin's design! She's in charge of the agency Desuhiko ends up with, so of course Desuhiko wished her a happy birthday! She is so happy about this!
