Suicide, Murder, Blood, Swearing, Possibly Smut
DANGANROMPA SPOILER WARNING!!!
[SUMMARY]
Well... You couldn't be surprised it happened, but here you were, holding an acceptance letter to...
Hope's Peak Academy.
A prestigious academy located in Japan, a place where only the best of the best, or, "Ultimates," as they came to be called, were handpicked to join it's ranks.
It's often said that, once you graduated from there, you were set up for life.
You never would've guessed how wrong you, your family.. The world, even, could be.
You don't know how it happened, how you could've been drugged, caught so off guard, but you'd be lied to, forced to participate in a twisted "killing game" overseen by a stuffed bear.
Yeah... Shit sucks.
Everyone was wary towards eachother, understandably, but you'd let yourself slip into some casual friendships... and some... Uneasy ones.
Nah... Complicated rivalry was a better word for it.
With no one other than Byakuya Togami.
One moment you two were enemies, the next, comrades. It kept you both on your toes, one moment having eachother's backs, the other, a knife to the other's throat.
You wouldn't admit it, but the "Prodigy" kept you more entertained than the murder game. As dark as that sounds.
You were a loner. Tough. You'd do anything it takes to survive, But this time, you knew it wouldn't be easy. And honestly? You'd start to enjoy hanging around your classmates. You were conflicted. Deciding to... Wait it out. Play it safe, see how things develop... Before making your move.
You'd have to do it eventually, right?
But still, there were always the same thoughts floating in the inner corners of your mind, despite your indifferent facade.
"Would I really make it out of here alive?"
"If so, at what cost?"
"How far is too far?"
"Do I have what it takes to kill my friends?"
"Should I kill my friends?"
"Would losing everyone... Losing him, be worth it?"
By the grace of a single good luck spell, (F/N) (L/N), the Ultimate Witch, finds herself attending Hope's Peak Academy. Unfortunately, events take a turn for the worst, and she wakes up on an unknown island - plunged straight into a killing game. Now, she's confronted with her own inadequacies and survival. The only glimmer of hope keeping her afloat being a very lucky, white-haired classmate.
He showed her support, she showed him understanding. Despite their ragingly different views of hope and despair, they grow to realize the flaws in their individual ways of living, garnering a mutual appreciation and love for each other.
A slow-burn for those who love the intricacy of emotions unraveling. The feeling of slowly losing themselves in the swarm of butterflies inside them.

Hiya. This is my first ever fanfic that I have ever written; my heart and soul was put into this. It's a very big passion project of mine and I do sincerely hope you enjoy it. :)
It's a work-in-progress so chapters will be edited even after they are published. I also have a prequel planned so stay tuned for that when this is finished!
I will try my very best to update frequently but I may not always be able to due to personal matters and writer's block. If you have any critique or compliments please do voice them in the comments, it helps me out a lot!
