#rain code fanfic

[toberjade]

Does anybody else have a teacher who wants to know about their fanfic?? Anyone else...?

Uh...

Yeah this is why my history teacher is my favorite.

(Referring to my ongoing Makoyuma fanfic)

[elina-sakura]

I had made a fic for Rain Code Week’s prompt (Relationship), my favorite element and theme of the game.

Though spoilers for the whole game. Don’t read it until you have completed it.

Basically what if Post-Game Yuma had stayed to talk with his friends about what happened behind the scenes?

Brace yourself, it has 7.1K+ words in the fic.

[pixelatedraindrops]

I made some changes to Chapter 1 of my RainCode sickfic making Yakou even more fatherly and warm a caretaker towards Yuma and made Yuma a bit more pathetic... xD

I just love them so much

The perfect father/son found family pair ☔️

At this point I’m just the CEO of making this poor boy suffer… 💦🌡️ I’m so sorry Yuma 😅

Chapter 08: The Crow and the Leaf

There is a corpse in front of her and all Kurumi can really think is… huh. It’s weird to see red blood again. It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen any blood at all since leaving Kanai Ward, but it hadn’t really set in just how red humans bled. Thinking about that in front of a stranger's dead body was probably kind of disrespectful though—right?

read my kurumi and desuhiko friendship propaganda boy. ... but no seriously this is 7k words. which for a lot of people probably isnt crazy impressive but it is for me.

“Surprised? I knew you would be.”

This is a scene from Artificial Mind, Artificial Heart chapter 11. And boy oh boy am I so happy it’s finally here! An enormous thank you to @snivyartjpeg for this wonderful piece of the robot boy! He’s finally got his body! Only fun times ahead now, right Yuma?

I miss her so much… *Ugly cries*

[princescar]

Here is the reference art for Junko as Shinigami for my Raincode x Dr AU.

Tried to keep as many elements of Junko as I could, but also including some of Shinigami's key design elements as well.

Been reading a story called "He Who Defies Death" by @draconicsparkle on AO3.

I love it very much so far and I couldn't help but draw something about it, especially the scene where Makoto is absolutely done with Shinigami already and questions how on Earth Yuma puts up with her shenanigans.

Yuma kinda basically ignored some of her remarks after a while, mostly focused on conversation and cases. That's how I think he has delt with her without becoming annoyed lol.

[rindragon-from-twewy]

Uh oh! Someone left me alone with my thoughts again! I don't see many people talking too deeply about pre-game stuff beyond "Number One was a terrible person" so I'm here to throw my own poorly explained hot take in to the ring-

I'm not really built for theory crafting and tend to miss or forget obvious details so consider this... an AU proposal more then anything. (Tbh I mostly just wanted to draw smol Yuma lmao-)

Spoiler warning ofc and enjoy this horrifically long and poorly explained ramble-

So... I don't really know much about the general fandom age headcannons on characters. I won't be going in to specifics right now about what I think all the character ages are cuz this isn't about that but for context, I pin Yuma around 15-16, on the early 18 side if you really wanna push it. Mainly cuz... it'd be kinda weird for Kurumi (a school student) to be one of his main love interests otherwise- For the sake of argument, I'll say 18.

So anyways-

Makoto's like... what? 3 or 4 years old? Forgive me for not re-watching chapter 5 just to get my timeline correct here but that's roughly right. Meaning that Number One would've been about 13 or 14 when he agreed to participate in the experiments at most. And sure, he's the smartest person in the world but anyone can be susceptible to lies or manipulations, especially someone that young.

But then of course we don't know how long Yuma had the Number One title for. Surely it would've had to have been at least a little while- I doubt the unified government would go after the blood of the newly appointed "smartest detective in the world" the second he got in to office. So who's to say exactly how much this literal child had been manipulated beforehand?

I'm imagining a sort of... Nagisa plus Kirigiri scenario (the danganronpa characters lol-) where they'd been set on a very specific academic path nearly their whole lives. Sure, Yuma probably had been born a genius and his strong moral code was most likely all his own but... no matter what way you spin it, there must have been some negligence to allow someone so young to become so cut off from the rest of society. It could've been intentional, it could've been accidental. Either way, why is someone like Yuma, who is obviously younger then most of his peers, who could easily pass as a trainee detective simply because of how smol he is, make it all the way to the top on his sheer intelligence alone?

This rambling's getting incoherent, sorry, it's late and I'm tired-

Makoto's pretty manipulative, sure, but he only got to the CEO position cuz of all the blackmail he had- Man had zero control over the city to the point he had to let outsiders get smuggled in just to help him fix it. Makoto (and by extension Number One) is book smart. Not street smart. They can build the rain machine, they can run multiple government conspiracies, etc etc. But if Number One was a kid at the time, it would've been pretty difficult for them to manipulate, mansplain, malewife his way in to office imo. A kid can't manipulate a dozens of adults in to being the leader of the whole WDO, no matter how naturally gifted they are. I mean it's no secret that the unified government and by extension the WDO are just as shady as Amaterasu so why wouldn't they take advantage of a young and impressionable kid when the opportunity arises?

We don't really know how Number One truly felt about anything. We know how Makoto views it, we know what Yuma thinks about it but we don't know if Number One really understood what the repercussions of the experiments could've been.

So let me just... break down what I'd interpret a vague timeline of events to be (in this hypothetical... Uh... AU I guess?)

- Yuma gets in to the WDO somehow. Very young, very impressionable. He may be really good at solving crimes but like any kid, he doesn't know anything that he isn't taught about. Being surrounded by mysteries and crimes, all while constantly being praised by adults as being "just soooo smart!" Is probably what taught him that he didn't need other people and so never learnt (or potentially was never even allowed to) make friends.

- Growing up surrounded by a combination of Yes-Men and people who let the obvious child labour/ exploitation slide because "This little genius is such a special case, we gotta let it slide this once!" Made it so he reached to the level of Number One far faster then anyone would expect. And that then came along with abandoning his old name and identity, isolating himself completely for his own protection. (I like to think he may not even remember his original name because he was so young at the time (for extra angst ^vO))

- And so a completely isolated pre-teen, who's entire life up until this point has entirely consisted of gory murder scenes and tragic crimes he was personally responsible for solving, was approached by the unified government. Who knows exactly how much detail they went in to with explaining their plan? Maybe they said that it probably wouldn't even work out, given all the past failures. Maybe they came begging for his help, like many people seeking justice would have done before them. Maybe they simply told him it was for the sake of peace? Maybe he was in his angsty emo phase and thought having a clone would be cool, who really knows? A pre-teen is a pree-teen, they all do dumb things- either way, he agreed.

- And so things played out like they said in the game, Makoto was created, escaped, saved the citizens of Kanai Ward via isolating them. He keeps them fed the only way he knows how - through the WDO; the only organisation he's ever been able to rely on (and thanks to his authority level, of course). Yuma starts getting suspicious while also simultaneously maturing enough to realise just how wrong everything about his life is, gets his new identity, makes the contract with Shinigami and heads off to start fixing his problems.

Additional Thoughts:

It's like that thing in the original beauty and the beast movie where everyone suddenly realised that the witch probably cursed a 9 year old for not letting a creepy stranger in to his home-

Maybe that's why he stuck with the name Yuma after everything. Cuz he didn't remember his original name to fall back on. He could've been Number One for as long as he could remember for all we know!

Maybe he was so busy trying to run the whole WDO that he didn't even pay much mind to the experiments? Could've just agreed to shut them up without knowing what he was getting in to. Makoto really drove it in to the mud how horrible of a person Number One was but how can we be sure that's an objective fact and not completely opinion driven?

I'm like actually really curious what other's perspectives on this could be. Again, I don't know much about the rain code fandom's age headcannons but it's pretty obvious to me at least that Yuma's on the younger end of the cast- (And by extension, Makoto too-)

Maybe I'll fact check myself when I have the time- either way, it's an interesting AU idea at the very least. I'll probably delete the writing portion of this post if it turns out I'm horrendously wrong-

Its probably gunna turn out that Yuma's in his mid 30s or 40s and suffers from baby face syndrome or something cringe fail like that lmfao-

So. Yeah. That's all just a theory (minus most of the fact checking) A GAME THEORY- Thanks for reading! :D

Rain Code Ship Week Day 6

@raincodeshipweek

And here is Day 6’s (very late) prompt submission, Alternate Universe, starring a spoiler couple. Please read this fic after you have completed both the game and Yakou’s DLC chapter.

[ayakayuchan]

Day 5 - Body Swap (maybe power swap too)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried to write the personalities of Vivia and Yakou, I don't know if they were that good. I tried my best.

I don't know if I'll do a second chapter. Maybe I will, but I don't want to promise anything yet. I hope you like this story.

[basilpaste]

Yuma feels a bit like he can't do anything but cause trouble for the people around him. The guilt of the deaths he's caused weighs heavy on him. Kurumi wants to show him someplace special to her.

first rain code fic real! implied queerplatonic kokowendy for the soul <3
