Danganronpa: Despair's Reoccurrence

 Information

Danganronpa: Despair's Reoccurrence is a fanfiction by Chain-Chan! (me. hi). It is set in an alternate universe where the Killing Game never happened, where Junko Enoshima's obsession with despair was never created. Hope's Peak Academy is a normal high school for talented individuals.

This fanfiction is mostly based around V3/Killing Harmony characters (mostly focusing on Shuichi Saihara, Kaede Akamatsu, and Kokichi Oma -- I actually wrote this originally to ONLY use these characters!). However, it contains characters from all installments in the Danganronpa series, and I tried keeping them all as in-character as I possibly can. However, I have never played any of these games and have only watched as much game footage as I can manage at the moment. So if you have suggestions on how a certain character should act, PLEASE let me know in the comment section!

Poly ships/love triangles (Ships previously listed will appear here!): Protag Gang (Makoto Naegi, Hajime Hinata, Kaede Akamatsu, Shuichi Saihara) **(Platonic)**, Omasaimatsu (Kokichi Oma, Shuichi Saihara, Kaede Akamatsu) **(Romantic)**, Komahinanami (Nagito Komaeda, Hajime Hinata, Chiaki Nanami) **(Romantic)**, Naegirizono (Makoto Naegi, Kyoko Kirigiri, Sayaka Maizono) **(Romantic)**

(Ships are still being added. If you want to suggest one, feel free to do so (I need more platonic ships)! I still might not add it tho :'D)

This will feature ALMOST every character in the Danganronpa series. Junko Enoshima, Mukuro Ikusaba, and characters from Ultra Despair Girls/Danganronpa 3 (anime) will either NOT make an appearance or make a very small appearance. Tsumugi Shirogane and Nagito Komaeda will, but their personalities will be changed slightly simply to avoid overexcessive insanity. (This means that Tsumugi will retain the personality she uses for half of V3, and Nagito won't be AS obsessed with hope. ~~don't worry he's still insane~~)

(This is just me trying to make a Danganronpa fanfiction without major violence and confusion....)

Yep. This is supposed to not include major violence or anything related to the Killing Game. It was specifically made because I was so sad about literally ALL my favourite characters in V3 getting killed. Like, come on, THREE survivors, I can't-

I know, I know. This is unprofessional and you're here for a cringey fanfiction. Currently, only the prologue and first chapter are finished, but I will upload the second chapter once I finish it!

...And, one last note. This is the fanfiction I mentioned in the beginning author note in Danganronpa (All Versions!): Anonymous Skits. This is the REAL thing. There's a plot, if not a large one, unlike the Anonymous Skits. The Anonymous Skits are just for me to play around with the characters and procrastinate on writing this. But, yeah, I finished the prologue and I'll shut up and give you the link now.

Please enjoy! >v<

## Plot

Danganronpa: Despair's Reoccurrence takes place in an alternate universe where the killing game, Danganronpa, never happened. Team Danganronpa was never created, and Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba never ~~ruined life as we know it~~ started the killing game. The characters attend Hope's Peak Academy and stay in dorm rooms with one roommate (each roommate being the same year and gender for wholesome reasons). The school years are separated in the order of the games, not the order of in-game events (V1 characters = seniors, V2 characters = sophomores, V3 characters = freshmen). The story focuses mostly on V3 characters, namely Shuichi Saihara, Kokichi Oma, and Kaede Akamatsu. It is also a *major* work-in-progress, as currently only the prologue is released. Many story factors are open to change.

In a mapped-out version of the fanfiction's plot, the author considered to reveal the fact that this is an AU and even make Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba have an appearance. However, it is not yet decided whether this will actually happen or not.

Will it eventually get a darker plot? Probably not but who knows

## Trivia

* This fanfiction is intended to seem as canonical as possible. This means it excludes most crack ships. However, sometimes there will be references to specific crack ships, such as Hajime Hinata X orange juice and Nagito Komaeda X bagels.
* Despite its canonical intentions, it uses the killing game's personalities (specifically V3 characters). This is because headcanons are endless for V3 characters' original personalities, which means several reasons for people to complain about the fanfiction. To avoid this, the author chose to use the killing game's fabricated personalities and talents for V3 characters.
* Of course, there are no crossover ships in Danganronpa: Despair's Reoccurrence. This includes ships where each character is from a different version of Danganronpa -- however, as long as both characters are in the Danganronpa universe, they may have a **platonic** ship.
