As Old As Time (Fanfic)	comment	A body has been discovered at the secretive Hope's Peak Church run by Nagito Komaeda. As the best detective duo in the country, Kyoko Kirigiri and Makoto Naegi have been assigned to the case. Kyoko is thrilled - she's had her eye on the suspicious church for years. But the more they dig into the investigation, the odder everything becomes. Strange things keep happening. People keep getting hurt. Nagito knows way too much about her and Makoto and things are just wrong.But the Kirigiri clan isn't known for giving up. Kyoko is going to get to the bottom of this no matter what it takes.As Old As Time is a No-Ultimates Danganronpa Cosmic Horror Story fanfic where Kyoko and Makoto are ordinary detectives. While heavily inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos it is not a direct crossover.Can be read here.

Makoto becomes this for him and Kyoko as she becomes more unhinged, to the point where he goes behind her back and begs Byakuya to take them off the case. The police chief, Byakuya Togami, generally makes good decisions and agrees with Makoto they need to stop the investigation. However, he's unaware of the scale of what they're up against and it's too little, too late.

Nagito has been involved in both Kyoko and Makoto's life ever since they were young children. Jin never wanted to abandon Kyoko. Her grandfather and Nagito forced him to. Makoto's father didn't randomly disappear. He fled after attempting to murder Makoto and was killed by Nagito. Ohori Naegi isn't actually Makoto's father. Makoto is the son of an Elder.

As Old As Time (Fanfic) / int_581f6468	comment	Hero of Another Story: The story has a lot of details about other characters' histories and makes it clear several have had Eldritch encounters of their own. Shuichi Saihara was tapped to investigate the deaths of Angie's tribe. Whatever happened during the investigation was so terrifying it not only left him terrified of Hope's Peak, every single person involved in the investigation agreed to keep it under wraps. Gundham Tanaka has been trying to thwart Hope's Peak for years and has recruited the Dark Devas of Destruction. Chiaki Nanami's best friend Hajime Hinata started acting funny after receiving strange, unsigned letters. After he suddenly disappeared, she managed to track him to Hope's Peak and was killed trying to find him. Mukuro Ikusaba was abandoned as a baby at the hospital after her mother realized Junko had been born as a Deep One instead of a human. She then lived peacefully with just her father for several years until Junko tracked her down and had her kidnapped. She spent the rest of her childhood growing up in a cult that worshiped her sister and genuinely did not know how to raise a human child. It's clear Makoto is encountering his own share of Eldritch happenings throughout the story, but since it's only from Kyoko's POV we never learn what they are.

It's strongly implied this is because Junko had already turned into a Deep One. Given that a Deep One's true form tend to be a Brown Note, this likely saved Mukuro's life.

Instead, the child is one or the other. In the case of a Deep One, the child is usually born as a full human and spends the next 25 years 'incubating' before hatching out of their human form and becoming a true, full-blooded Deep One.

As Old As Time (Fanfic) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of Kyoko and the Kirigiri clan. Canonically, Kyoko is known for pulling some interesting moves during her investigations. (Sending Makoto into a secret room to see if he gets attacked, tasting a corpse's saliva, etc.) Given the revered status of Ultimates in canon, she's rarely questioned about it. Here though she gets called out much more often on her reckless and occasionally callous tactics and many characters think she's a bit touched in the head. The Kirigiri clan itself is deconstructed with Nagito pointing out that modern-day evidence standards and protocols are so high that being a famous, professional solo detective isn't really feasible. The only reason the Kirigiri clan has survived is they've made a pact with a Deep One.

As Old As Time (Fanfic) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Chapter 39. Kyoko was right that she was in the caves for two days, meaning Makoto either lied to her or (later confirmed) something also happened to him while she was down there. Her conversation with Angie also confirms Kyoko has periodically been controlled by a Deep One. She also states Kyoko belongs to the Elders although doesn't elaborate what that means. And finally, Fuhito admits he's known about Hope's Peak this entire time. Chapter 42. Kyoko learns what really happened between her father and grandfather, how her hands got burnt, what happened between Makoto and his father and that Nagito has been watching and directly intervening in Makoto's life since he was a young child. This is also the chapter Kyoko fully accepts at least some at Hope's Peak are not human.

As Old As Time (Fanfic) / int_ba236071	comment	Mukuro Ikusaba was abandoned as a baby at the hospital after her mother realized Junko had been born as a Deep One instead of a human. She then lived peacefully with just her father for several years until Junko tracked her down and had her kidnapped. She spent the rest of her childhood growing up in a cult that worshiped her sister and genuinely did not know how to raise a human child.

As Old As Time (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The careers and relationship between most characters are direct shout-outs to their Ultimate talents and interactions in canon. At one point, Makoto's terrible luck leads him to falling into a swamp. He doesn't have a change of clothes so Nagito lends him a nun's habit. This is a reference to the original AU this story is based on where the premise is Makoto going undercover at Hope's Peak Church while disguised as a nun. The title is both a reference to the ancientness of the Deep Ones and a reference to Beauty and the Beast. In other words, a love story between a girl and a monster. Izuru has a deadlight, a feature of a famous Eldritch monster.

Jin still wasn't swayed until he realized Fuhito had Deep One backing and he forced Kyoko to burn her own hands. Mukuro's mother abandoned her at the hospital as a newborn but took Junko with her. It's strongly implied this is because Junko had already turned into a Deep One. Given that a Deep One's true form tend to be a Brown Note, this likely saved Mukuro's life.
