This is a fanfiction for Danganronpa based on an AU that I fell in love with. Basically, what if the Mastermind behind Hope's Peak wasn't the real Mastermind at all? **WARNING** This short story contains major spoilers for the show Danganronpa! If you haven't seen it, or even haven't finished the last episode itself, please be aware that this will spoil it for you. Like, the first word is a spoiler here. And it also has spoilers in the tags, so be careful. It's like a minefield in here. Just thought it would be nice of me to share, because I hate spoilers and tend to be stupid and run into them anyway. Also, this AU is not mine. This is only my opinion of how it would go if this AU had really happened. I would credit the creator, but I can't find the original source of this AU. If any of you know, please share with me so I can credit them. I also had to change a tiny bit of the wording in some of the parts from the animation, where I got the beginning dialog from, because it was actually pretty dang hard to understand what was being said in a couple of parts, and who knows, maybe the entire sentence was different in the subbed verison. Mature - Contains language, violence, mature themes. No depictions of sexual content.
