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.

Mr. Forgettable by imjustboredykxd
6 parts Complete Mature
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
Divine Gamble: Reborn as Natsumi Kyouno in Britannia by lubnathetruequeen
25 parts Ongoing
Death wasn't supposed to come so soon - but when a careless god accidentally snuffs out his life, our protagonist finds himself standing before a divine roulette, his fate resting on three spins of a celestial wheel. First spin: The world he will be sent to - Britannia, the war-torn land of The Seven Deadly Sins. A realm of magic, demons, and legendary warriors where only the strong survive. Second spin: A new identity - Natsumi Kyouno, the weakest spirit character from Date A Live. But this isn't just a body swap. His mind shifts, instincts sharpen, and emotions change, as if he's becoming Natsumi herself. Third spin: A unique ability - one final boon to help him (now her) survive in a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Thrown into a kingdom on the brink of chaos, Natsumi must navigate her new existence, battling against fate, war, and the remnants of her past self. With knowledge of the worlds she came from, an ability that could tip the scales, and a growing uncertainty about who she's truly becoming - can she carve her place in history, or will she become just another forgotten soul swallowed by the sins of Britannia? The dice have been rolled. The game has begun. And the only way forward... is to win. ______ All of the characters belong to their original owners except those that I create and the plot. Now here is the thing, there will be a lot of things that will be totally different from the story because I am going to put only my mind on this. So minding that please don't go commenting that "that happened and this not" because it is all on my pure imagination. Above all, I hope that you all will enjoy it

He Is My Diamond- A Hajime X Nagito / Hinata X Komaeda Fanfiction by MadiWritez
47 parts Complete Mature
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
