Watch as they expand their relationship together as they get through their troubles. Non Despair AU, and obvious spoiler warnings :P Cover photo credit: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/849210073483338048/ (i think this is the original ?? i tried to reverse image search it but i couldnt find another one so i guess this is it.)

Hey everyone You can call me Auz! I'm a really big fan of Danganropa and this particular ship I'm making this fanfic about. This is my first time making something like this Soo I'm a little nervous but I hope you guys enjoy ;w;

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DANGANRONPA V3 KILLING HARMONY! This is a Saimatsu fic (Danganronpa's Shuichi Saihara x Kaede Akamatsu) where Kaede is not found as the blackened in the first class trial. The two have to survive the killing game together while keeping as many people alive as possible. There will be other ships in this story, but the prime one will be Saimatsu (my OTP). The story will loosely follow the DRV3 story with a few differences here and there including (but not limited to) blackened, victims, rooms in the Ultimate Acadamy, and executions. This story is a work of fiction written by a fan of the original work, and is not part of the official storyline of the franchise that inspired it. Danganronpa and all its characters and concepts belong to Spike Chunsoft. Super Smash Brothers is a property of Nintendo Co., Ltd., HAL Laboratory, Inc., and Sora Ltd.
