Normal Girl

This is a Nagito KomaedaxReader fanfiction I wrote inspired by the song Normal Girl by SZA (s/o SZA for being a queen lol).

Summary: After getting over the grief of her father's passing through repairing the treehouse he built, (Y/N) gets scouted by Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Hope, but she doesn't want the acceptance. She believes her talent is stupid and undeserving of such a high reward, but after encouragement from her best friend, Gideon, and her mom, she decides to go, not without holding on to more than some of those initial anxieties though. On the way to her first day, she meets a strange, eccentric kid who entertains her and comforts her through her anxieties and self loathing of her talent. Will they work together to become best friends? Will (Y/N) let herself be soothed by such a character or will she reject the loving environment offered by her loving classmates and make a new group of enemies? Will (Y/N) find love in this unfamiliar environment? Shenanigans ensue!

General: This is a pretty long read, but please be patient with me (first fanfic eek!). This an AU where the Ultimate Despairs didn't exist and The Tragedy never happened. Just slice of life basically! ⚠️Smut eventually⚠️ (I will mark the chapters and add 18+ warnings), but should be fine for other chapters. Treating all characters in this story as if they are 18+ (but they're still first years because I don't want to have to deal with plot consequences, oopsies!).
{DM for male reader version if you'd like, but I try to keep it gender neutral when I can.}

Note: I gladly accept *constructive criticism,* not senseless hate. If you don't like the content but have no suggestions for how to make it better, please just don't read. Respectfully, I do not care about unhelpful opinions, and I'd like to keep negativity off my page, please and thank you!

I do not own the cover art or any of the characters in this story except Gideon and (Y/N)'s parents!!
