Hello again peeps. Now that the first trimester has ended, I will have more time to write, all I need is the motivation to do so. Putting that aside, I wanted to explain why I have purged every work but two and jot down an idea for a new fanfic.
I wanted to do away with the "OC Era", so I removed every fic containing a self insert and scrapped plans for fics with one.
For what concerns the new fic, I have been getting back into DxD recently, and I want to make a story about it.
I will try to keep Issei as canon-compliant as possible but since it is a fanfic after all, I will add a couple of things of my own to add to his character beyond being who everybody knows and many love. Details below.
The first chapter will start in medias res with him close to dying in the park, recalling his life: the "dreams of two dragons" he's had since childhood, him never having been sick, when puberty hit and his attraction to girls and passion for combat sports blossomed giving him his infamous reputation as one of the Perverted Trio, memories of Irina. This, until his head starts to ring with the insistent voice of "someone" screaming at him as Raynare taunts him, so he gets up and starts walking towards her - and this is when the Boosted Gear manifests first and Rias appears, prompting Raynare to retreat. Issei collapses, and is taken away by Rias to be healed, yadda yadda yadda;
I will keep him ignorant of the supernatural until the date with "Yuuma", so cue the usual lore dump;
I will make it so the Shidou family was sent to Japan because they knew Issei had a Sacred Gear, and wanted to lure him to their side by using Irina. She knew this, initially only feeling envy for Issei's normal life but warming up to him due to his kindness. Touji Shidou decided to move to England when he thought Irina had fallen in love with Issei and thus the integrity of the mission was compromised. Since then, Irina and her father have not talked about Issei.
tell me what you think. Peace out.
