"Reverend Angie," Junko says, with a smile on her face and ice in her eyes. "Take my confession." (Proceeds to confess to extremely personal and/or graphic things while Angie keeps smiling and refuses to be baited.)

The vibe is, Junko is running a despair church, and obviously the Remnants are the congregation, and Angie shows up and she's still Angie, so she still has her quirks and flaws, but obviously going to Junko's despair church and seeing what a bad influence Junko is on everyone, she's trying to guide them down a different path.

Junko's fanaticism is messier and more cathartic, and Angie's maybe-fanaticism is more tidy and sanctimonious.

Some of the members defect from Junko's way to Angie's way. (Mahiru and Hiyoko are split along these lines, with Hiyoko siding with Junko and Mahiru siding with Angie.) (Nekomaru definitely defects to Angie.) (Nagito likes Angie but doesn't commit to either side completely.) Junko and Angie are very civil to each other, while fighting this ideological battle via their congregants.

And they kiss in Angie's prayer closet after Angie finds Junko hiding in there to spy on her.

Izuru is, like, a groundskeeper who also doesn't take sides.

(And also Makoto runs a cafe in town (Oops, barista Makoto is back?), and Junko has banned her congregation from visiting the cafe so they can't find a community anywhere else, but not everyone obeys. It's a whole dramatic secret.)

death of me:

Defeated, Chihiro crossed her arms and buried her head in them. “Ughhh… Enoshima, you will be the death of me…” [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Sixteen: Technology.]

Chihiro/Junko for the technology prompt. Knew I wanted to do them for this immediately, however I think I got burnt out finishing Junkan week, as well as getting sick, and just getting writers block on this in general. Still a little under the weather but I'm getting better!

submitting:

“Can I do your hair, Tsumiki-chan?” Mikan Tsumiki squeaked, heartbeat accelerating at how close Ryouko leaned into her. “Wh-What?” Mikan wasn't used to this. Mikan wasn't used to her. Her eyes curved into crescents, smiling and sparkling and delighted all at once. Like somehow, she found Mikan Tsumiki, with her ugly hair and watery eyes and squeaking, stuttering voice cute. “I want to put your hair in ponytails!” [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Seventeen: Ponytails.]

Was thinking of doing Kotoko/Monaka for this day, but bandit beat me to it, and I just kind of wasn't feeling it. Hence: Ryoumiki again. Set in the same verse as one of my Femslash February prompt fills from last year. Fluff on its surface but there is a bit of sinisterness in the symbolism of the ponytails & the context of the previous work. My other thought was junmugi... but I ended up going with this in the end.

stalemate:

Junko and Sayaka both wore disguises. [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Eighteen: Disguise.]

Now this one I actually really like! Knew immediately that I wanted to do Maizoshima for this prompt. This one deals with fame to some degree and relatedly, also alludes to Junko having a (fame-induced) ED, so warning for that. But I love spreading the maizoshima awfulness <3 they make me ILL.

magical, miracle girl:

“You said you had a solution to my speech aid.” Miaya reminds. “Ah, right!” Chisa opened her bag, grabbing papers and thrusting them at her. “You said you didn't like how uncute your voice was, so I thought… What's cuter than a mascot character! Look at these designs I did.” Miaya did. They were extremely poorly drawn. “A bunny?” Miaya blinked at her. “What's cuter than that!” Chisa gushed. “Yukizome-senpai.” “Yes?” “These designs are awful.” [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Nineteen: Rabbit.]

MY FAVORITE CHISA SHIP. MIAYA/CHISA. completely fanon but I am SO attached to them. I basically just made up the entire relationship but... they are so important to me... knew waaay in advance I'd do these two for this prompt.

differences:

Komaru Naegi is glaring at Junko Enoshima. This is not unusual, and in a lot of ways, this is not odd. Not for them. Komaru is often glaring at her more than not these days, and Junko is just as often unimpressed by it. The odd thing, Komaru will admit if pressed, is that Junko Enoshima is transparent and floating as she rolls her eyes and rests her head in the crook of her palm; because Junko Enoshima is dead. But for Komaru Naegi, it really wasn't unusual. Junko's been dead the whole time she's known her, from the very first time she met her as she invisibly played with Monaka's hair, eyes flicking to Komaru and widening as she just knew from how their eyes met across the room—till now, with her staring at her with flat eyes and flat mouth and despairing gaze. Komaru Naegi can just see ghosts. That's all. That, too, is completely ordinary to her. Her own “common sense.” [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty: Bear.]

Another one of my favorites! Probably because I adore junkomaru. Their parallels/foils are so interesting to me...

cult of personality:

Angie's eyes were like the ocean, and Junko's were like the sky. [Danganronpa Femslash February Day Twenty-One: Ocean.]

Angie/Junko set in my V3 remnant AU in fact extended universe. Can be read stand alone (at least for now) and a bit of an outlier because it WILL have more chapters that don't really have to do with the prompt.

And that's it so far! Will hopefully keep you updated on these fics from here on out.

Specifically, imagining if Angie and Junko were both at Hope's Peak at the same time. Angie being almost the only one who knows what Junko's up to.

If we're taking in-game characterization at face value, maybe they're both starting different ideological/spiritual movements at the same time. They cross paths every now and then, and Angie's like, "You won't win, you know~. God has chosen this school to be a place of good, not evil. 😊"

Junko could play coy, but first of all if we're counting the anime as canon it seems like she was pretty much never not being obviously evil, and second of all even if we're not counting the anime as canon I could see her making the calculation that she has nothing to lose engaging with Angie semi-honestly, if they're alone. So maybe she goes, "You think everyone you sway to your side believes in the same idea of good and evil as you? How naive. As long as you teach them not to think for themselves, you're priming them for me. You think you're taking them out of play, but really you're just making them more vulnerable."

Angie giggles. "You're so silly, senpai! Angie never told anyone not to think for themselves." With a joyous but penetrating gaze, she continues, "If your goal is to hate yourself half as much as God loves you, you'll never succeed, you know!"

Junko could go a lot of ways; she could go Sad Mode and say, "I wish I could hate myself. A feeling like that might be kind of exciting." Or she might go Cute Mode and say, "Aww! I've never had an underclassman try to psychoanalyze me before!" Or neither of those. Honestly, I'm writing this post mostly because I'm trying to brainstorm how Junko might react to Angie, on the premise that she doesn't just blow her off as insignificant. Both Junko and Angie are characterized as extremely competent at seeing a person's innermost wants and vulnerabilities. It would be cool to have them see through each other. (Though of course, obligatory "But Angie didn't see through [so-and-so]," and arguably the same for Junko.)

My very first thought was of someone like Mukuro asking Junko, "Is Yonaga creating her own cult a problem for us?"

And Junko sarcastically going, "Oh you're right, how can I possibly sow corruption into an extreme religious movement?"

But it's fully reasonable to say that outside of a killing game Angie just kind of wouldn't start a cult because she wouldn't feel threatened enough to do that. I view Angie as a cult survivor who exhibited cult behaviors in the killing game because she didn't know another way to express her fear without interpreting it as a lack of faith, so a more healing version of her school days would have her unlearning some of the stuff the was raised with (And, if I were keeping with my own personal headcanons, beginning to engage with her own culture outside the paradigm of the cult that appropriated it.) and being able to identify the threat of despair earlier than some because she knows what to look for.
