One week after the most important hours of his life, Code 016's memories unlock. Both wings remember their other. An alternate retelling, in which the Prince never forgets the Princess.

The Jian Bird can never be separated. They may be torn apart but will always find a way to fly again together. This is my version of Darling in the FRANXX. Hiro will have to remember his forgotten past to reunite with Zero Two; and embrace what he truly is in order to forever be united with his mate. With the help of a dying race and Squad 13 can he save humanity from extinction?

By means unknown, Hiro, Zero Two, and the Klaxosaur Princess have been granted another chance at life. Join the trio of Klaxo Sapiens as they begin the journey not only to see the resurgence of a species, but to mend their broken promises.

"You promise?" she whispered. Her other problems would be left unvoiced and to fester inside her heart until it became too heavy for her to shoulder alone. Whatever fears Zero Two was having inside her heart right now, he would be there to immediately ease them away. That's what he swore to do. "I promise." (AO3/FF)

Following the canon events of Darling in the FranXX, a reincarnated Hiro and Zero Two become good friends under a sakura tree, where they bond. Torn apart by the surfacing memories that plague the reincarnated Zero Two's mind, they must once again find one another in the seemingly vast city of Strelizia.
