* Synopsis: Author's Summary, "Among the 17 Ultimates, the protagonist Prairie Marble has no memories of her past, nor is she able to retain the memories of flashback lights. All she knows is that she has memories from when she first awakens from a locker within the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. Something about her is just too odd to ignore, even for an Ultimate, and Monokuma wants to get to the bottom of it. Will Prairie be able to survive the killing game and protect her peers? Or will Monokuma entice murder among them and taint their hearts with despair?"
* Comments: If you could choose any Danganronpa OC fic to read, give this one a go. Not only does it make the protagonist a fun character to follow, but her interactions with the canon characters gives depth to them as well as Prairie. Not to mention how she approaches the presented mystery with her "perks" and disadvantages will grip the reader into trying to think their own solution, be it the overarching mystery or the murders that happen in each part. This is a fic that welcomes all readers whether they know nothing about the series or if they've already exhausted so much canon material that they're yearning for more -- there's something to be found in String Theory that will be to the reader's enjoyment.
* It is also on Fanfiction.net and Wattpad, with the added bonus of being able to view the author's wonderful art for the fanfic whether it be covers that change every four chapters or additional supporting material.

* Synopsis: Spoilers for all of ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2'' Author's summary: It's been two months since the Neo World Program ended and things are looking bleak. No one is showing any signs of waking up. That's when Future Foundation show up with what everyone needs...a solution. The only problem...Hajime has to re-enter the game where history will repeat itself. If he can stop the murders from happening again everyone gets to survive. Can he save everyone or will he crumble when new murders occur?

* Synopsis: Spoilers for the entirety of ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2''. A fic exploring Peko's StartOfDarkness and her connection to the Twilight Syndrome Mystery Murders. Worth reading if only for the extremely good characterisation of Junko Enoshima.

* Comments: A heart-wrenching story that chronicles the lives of the ''VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3'' characters after the events of the game. Each chapter focuses on a different group of characters, and reads like a complete story. Masterfully written.

* Comments: An AU in which the cast of ''VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3'' are students of Hope's Peak's reserve course - Well-written and frequently poignant.

* Summary: Naegi finds himself caught in a time loop. Surely living through Monobear's game once was bad enough?
* Comments: Explores several "What If?" scenarios while keeping every detail and characterization on-point. Highly recommended if you enjoyed ''[=DanganRonpa IF=]''.

* Summary: A few moments that, in another life, might have led to friendship. The countdown to the end of the world has begun.
* Comments: A fascinating speculative look at the [[HappyFlashback pre-series relationships]] of a character who doesn't get much time to shine in the game itself. Really in-character, really melancholy, really despair-inducing.

* Recommended by: Rose Bride
* Status: Dormant (last updated August 2019)
* Summary: The Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind...it only makes sense that such a catastrophic event would spread to the other side of the world. While Naegi and company fought their battles, a new story unfolded at St. Fortuna's University for the Naturally Gifted. A story filled with pain, grief, and a very fleeting amount of hope. This is that story.
* An ElsewhereFic (Original Characters and Original Setting...except Monobear) that takes place in the US, so far there are 13 chapters, has some art posted in the author's DA account, and except for some MythologyGags contains little to no spoilers of the series.

* Recommended by: madcapguy
* Status: Complete, with a sequel in progress.
* Summary: Sixteen All-Star students from the American equivalent of Hope's Peak Academy, Success Summit, are forced by Monobear into a game of Mutual Killing in the Mall of Monomerica. (Be warned of ''' massive spoilers for the first two games''' in the final chapter)
* The story is told in similar style to the games, divided into six cases/chapters which are further seperated into free-time/exploration , investigation periods, and then a class-trial/execution.
* Comments: A very enjoyable (and, at over two-hundred thousand words, [[DoorStopper lengthy]]) fic. The story is alternatingly told from all sixteen students perspective, giving them each time to develop. The full story is available on tumblr, but is unedited. [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1457779/chapters/3070135 An edited version]] is currently being released piece-meal on archiveofyourown 3-4 times a week. Official character portraits can be found through a link on tumblr or embedded in the first chapter of the edited version.
