angst artemis highschooldxd issei katase koneko kuroka murayama opissei rossweisse serafall smartissei sona

What if Issei wasn't nearly what people portrayed him to be or assumed him to be? What if there was a much deeper person behind those amber pools that have grown so dull? Would you reach out and try to help a boy so dejected that he can't look you in the eye? 

A common place thought yet something often overlooked. Can you truly "look at the elephant in the room" let alone help it? 

Also, I hope you like a very playful and forward Koneko. I'm enjoying writing her.  Issei won't be dense in the slightest, I plan to write him as emotionally tactful and intelligent if not more then a little broken.

Mild T/W for some of you, This will depict pretty graphic and dark scenes of depression come later into the story and possible self harm. You were warned. 

Very possible danger of Lemons or Limes. Sorry not sorry. 

One small difference within' this story. The purge of the Nekomata/Nekoshou hasn't happened and won't happen in this story. 

This will be a good mix of Feels, fluff and some lighter moments as our favorite boy gets what he deserves the most in life, A chance to actually be happy. I don't have it in me to go full dark and gritty with this one.

Unsure if I'll take this the whole vast harem route, Koneko/Kuroka/Artemis are the main girls Period. 

TL;DR I don't own Highschool DXD yada yada.

I will be commissioning art for the cover and all later.

Return of the Dragon Slayer by DragongodAstaroth

What is luck exactly? Is it just some random possibility calculated from the universe when someone is born or is it like currency in which you can spend however you wish? What is fate? If someone is fated to be something, does that mean freewill truly is an illusion? Is fate kind or cruel, does it pick a side, does fate punish those who don't deserve it and award people that do? Just two out of the hundred of the constant enigma's that every living being thinks about since the dawn of creation. Those two constant enigma's surround a certain brown haired teenage boy named Issei Hyoudou, an average highschooler who is also the current Sekiryūtei and pawn of Rias Gremory. A day after Riser's defeat Issei realizes that his victory over the third son of the house of Phenex was by sure luck and begins to feel that his luck will soon run out. Beginning to feel frustrated at himself for being weak and wanting more power in order to protect what he cares about is enough to awaken the legendary wielder of the boosted gear who is even stronger than both the "official" strongest wielders of the boosted gear. Now with the new fiery determination to become the strongest will Issei become the crimson inferno that he was meant to be or a great disaster waiting to be unleashed. Either way the brown haired boy will slay all who threaten him and those he treasures. (Remastered version of the Return of the Dragon Slayer) A/N: I don't own Highschool DxD and the pictures/videos used in this story.

I Just Want To Be A Hero by Nouis_Horanson2319

(⚠️WARNINGS⚠️: This contains a bit of suicidal, as well as self-harming, as well as verbal abuse, as well as discrimination in the beginning. Just in case it's too sensitive for you or any reader that wants to read.) Kayda's POV "You can never be a hero" Was the last thing he said as he shuts the door ready to save the day. Feeling tears fall as I let his words sink in, the room filled with sobs. Why.......why does he not love me? Why does he love the world over me? That's right the Number 1 Hero. I see him on TV and the magazines, or people's clothes and I see his legacy all over everyone's face. His smile brightens the world with hope........... But why can't he smile for me...he's always gone, always never home and never says good morning or good night. All he does is show me what it's like to not have hope. I can never understand why he has this hatred for me. I never asked to be born in this world. I try to keep a smile for him or try to ask for a hug at least... He just shoves me away or ignores I'm here. Then all suddenly she vanished completely to anyone who knew her. But for her, it was a new beginning with a new life and she's going to give it her all to be what she's always wanted to be.....

Moving Forward 『Aichi X Kourin Fanfiction』 by sqp_xx

Loosing someone that meant everything to you is a hard obstacle in live. Sadness, loneliness, anger, and longing that fill the heart like water spilling out of a cup making a crack on the heart. The crack can be fixed, but it always leave a mark. Well then, how about a heart that didn't want to close the wound it have? Drowning on the hole of darkness. And a world full of loneliness. CRASH!!! she stood there looking directly at the red liquid that spill out from the bodies underneath. Hot wet tears streaming down her face. Her breath was stop for a short moment and didn't care about breathing after some running. Her body was wet by sweat and rain. And now tears streaming down on her face falling to her clothes making it more wetter. " it's all... My fault.....

Mr. Forgettable by imjustboredykxd

I wanted to let go, wanted to jump. But when I felt my hand release the railing I had been holding so tight, my knuckles turned white, I felt a tender hand grasping mine. My eyes were closed and I was prepared to feel the water hit my body. It never happend. I opened my eyes and quickly turned around, only just realizing someone was holding my wrist with a firm grip. My eyes searched the ones of the other and when our eyes met, I cried. Beautiful green eyes stared right into my soul. They weren't just green eyes. They were all different shades of green. They were the most unique, promising, caring eyes that ever looked at me. They matched with his wavy, dark-green hair. The rest of his face was covered with a thousand freckles and a soft smile. "Are you lonely?" Hi, so I came up with this idea when I was listening to Mr. Forgettable from David Kushner. This story is kinda based on the song, but also not really. It's mostly my own imagination that comes free when I listen to it :). ‼️BE PREPARED‼️ There is an TRAGIC ENDING. NO HAPPY ONE AND IM PROBABLY ALSO NOT GONNA WRITE AN HAPPY ONE (but maybe........ no (maybe) ) This story also includes; suicidal thoughts, self hate, swearing and mental issues, so read at your own risk. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapters. Currently I'm planning on writing 3-5 chapters (It's a short story, I know :,) ), but maybe that'll change :)))))). Thank you for reading this little piece of bullshit and go read the story now :))) ~Ash

Secret Mind ✓ by sadlyish

"She's right! She's right! I don't cut in the right spot." My hold tightens on my wrist. The red blood oozes out of my wrist. I slide up and grab my bag and run out of the bathroom. I don't care if people can see the blood I just want to get out. I race for the doors and shove through people. I earn a lot of glares and glances that read "weirdo." I ignore and push. I run to my house and lock myself in my bathroom. I don't bother closing the front door cause I don't care if people come in to kill me. I grab my razor and cut deep cuts into my arm and wrists falling into a pool of my own blood. • • • Evangeline has a great life. Friends? Check! Good grades? Check! Loving family? Check! But what if she has secrets that nobody knows of? What if the only thing she can trust is her secret diary? What if slowly but surly she's dying inside? How can an innocent twelve year old deal with these problems? Will she keep on facing these problem till the day she breaks. Her school burns down forcing her into a different school to meet different people and she has to fit into a different lifestyle as well. Meet Evangeline. Now at 17 years of age in a new high school. Not all girls anymore. No uniform. Meet Drake. Your classic bad-boy. He just moved to Saint Abigail high school. He is assigned partners with the quiet, calm, unnoticed Evangeline. As time progresses he finds that she isn't as happy on the inside as she is on the outside. Can he save her? Or is it too late? • • • Some rude language. Depression and cutting. Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.

He Is My Diamond- A Hajime X Nagito / Hinata X Komaeda Fanfiction by MadiWritez

I was scared. Too scared to tell Komaeda that I loved him. But when the perfect opportunity arose, there was nothing I could do to stop myself from telling him the truth. It was after the murder of a close friend, and I soon found he was visiting to make sure I was okay. I was terrified to say anything, despairing over the idea of him rejecting me, but... I had to know. (TW: SELF-HARM, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND ATTEMPT, INTERNALIZED AND EXTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA) The characters, some phrases, and some locations belong to the creators of Danganronpa. But the story itself is mine. (TW: SELF-HARM) DISCLAIMER: This story was written a very, very long time ago. Some of the topics covered, such as more frequent and normalized self-harm and one particular character fetishizing gay men, are not ideas that I agree with since the five years ago this was written. I want to make it clear that self-harm and suicidal ideation are not things to be romanticized, and that gay men are in fact diverse and complex people, who are not all one-minded. I did not necessarily think the latter at the time this was written, but it certainly could come across that way at certain points in this story. If anyone thinks I should change something to more realistically portray gay men, or to avoid romanticizing self-harm and suicidal ideation, please message me or leave a comment. I appreciate your understanding. -MadiWritez
