1	''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14623173/chapters/33794814 Izuru Kamukura's Cuddly Toy]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Suitov/pseuds/Suitov Suitov]] is a fanfiction based on an AlternateUniverse for the anime ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool''. It was published on WebSite/ArchiveOfOurOwn.
2
3	The fanfic follows the immediate aftermath of Izuru Kamukura's creation from his own perspective as he becomes hostile towards the scientists and throws anyone that tries to touch him. The scientists, unable to get Izuru to cooperate and Izuru, not particularly willing to cooperate, are left at an impasse for the first day after Izuru's creation.
4
5	Then, 1 day and 3 minutes after Izuru's creation, one of the scientists opens the door to his room, shoves a toy inside and closes the door again.
6
7	From that point onward, the fanfic becomes mostly a soft, sweet story of Izuru, his love for his titular cuddly toy, who he names Dandelion, and his life in the facility he's kept in. He learns that fluff is the best thing in the world, messes with the scientists and generally ponders about things. The fic also features the pairing of Izuru Kamukura/Nagito Komaeda though it only comes up later on.

9	A companion fic by the name of ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14742290/chapters/34082414 Nagito Trash-Fire Komaeda Donates himself to Science]]'' was published as well. This fic is three chapters long and follows the perspective of Nagito throughout some events during the first fic. [[{{Spoiler}} Please the first fic before reading this one though]].
10
11	A short collection of (mostly) canon-compliant onshots has also been released under the name ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16846627/chapters/39550627 Observations of Homo floccosus domesticus]]''. This collection also spoils the original story so, again, read the first fic before reading this one.

13	------
14	!! This fanfic provides examples of:
15
16	* AttackAnimal: The [[FormallyNamedPet Twelve Zodiac Generals]] attack [[SerialKiller Genocide Jack]] in chapter 14.
17	* ContinuityNod: Some low key ones. For example, in chapter 13 Fuyuhiko mentions that something nearly took his [[EyeScream eye out]]. In chapter 14, Izuru references a seesaw, which is a [[MemeticMutation popular fandom joke]] for ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa V3\|Killing Harmony}}''.
18	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Blink-and-you'll-miss-it example from Hiyoko. ([[spoiler:“Because you said something gay and Naggy exploded?”]]).
19	* GetARoom: In chapter 10, Hiyoko, possibly [[LittleMissSnarker voicing what everyone else is thinking]], asks if Izuru and Nagito need a room (to which Izuru, never the most socially aware, remarks that they just came here from his...)
20	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: It's heavily implied that Chiaki still loves Hajime and so has some sort of affection towards Izuru, but she leaves him and Nagito alone.
21	* {{Nosebleed}}: Teruteru gets one in chapter 10, a reference to one of his [[https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/Teruteru_Hanamura/Sprite_Gallery sprites]].
22	* SherlockScan: With her analytical abilities, Junko is able to deduce that Izuru and Nagito are together (and that Izuru is, in her words, "the top").
23	* [[ShipperonDeck Shipper on Deck]]: Teruteru and Kazuichi towards Izuru and Nagito in chapter 10. Although [[CasanovaWannabe Teruteru]] seems like he'd be happy to date Izuru himself if he could.
24	* ShoutOut: Izuru references {{Franchise/Pokemon}} in chapter 15, while he's being deliberately weird and confusing. Genocide Jack, in chapter 14, offhandedly compares Izuru to [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Sadako Yamamura/Samara Morgan]] ''and'' {{Literature/Rapunzel}} in one breath.
25	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Mikan gives this speech to the group and directly to Nagito after she's been discovered to have the Despair Disease. [[ContinuityNod Something similar happens in the game]].
26	* TheUnSmile: Just about the only thing Izuru can't do effortlessly and flawlessly is to smile. When Mahiru calls for a group photo, she has him give a thumbs up for the camera instead.
