    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    Summary

    TWs: Death, Violence, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Implied Nudity, Use of Gendered Insults

    Just six years after the reopening of Hope's Peak Academy, the new class of students find themselves trapped in a mysterious building by the sinister bear, Monokuma. Sixteen go in, but how many will leave? Who will survive to the end? And just why was Hanako Minami ever admitted in the first place?

    Dangan Ronpa: Heights of Despair is an ongoing script-format fic, in which 16 original characters are trapped in a Killing Game. Readers can vote on Free Time Events and work to solve puzzles during Class Trials. The fic started in 2015, so some older fandom-specific terms and conventions appear (e.g. referring to characters by last name).

    Summary

    The Higashikata family is like a puzzle: fractured, separate pieces, but they still fit together to make a whole.

    Hato doesn’t notice when her family begins to fall apart. There’s no way for her to know where to look.

    When it does, she doesn’t see each piece fall until it hits the ground.

    The Higashikata family keeps a lot of secrets, even from each other. A series of vignettes from Hato Higashikata's perspective, before and during Jojolion canon.
