I thought about this premise before, but when we came up with Program AU's as a prompt in Battle Royale Week (tagged as #batowaweek2022 on other platforms), I had to go for it!

This is presented as a sort of Butterfly Effect and follows closely to the novel, so some characters, events and/or deaths will be skipped over if they're not affected by the new change. I could rewrite them as the other person's POV, but I'm not quite that dedicated, lmao. I'm not yet sure if I should add in when certain canon events happen or if I should leave them blank and update deaths through the routine updates, but feel free to let me know what you'd prefer!

Critiques are encouraged, but there are some elements that might not be fleshed out in one chapter but will come up in a future chapter, so be aware of that. I haven't written any fanfiction since 2010, so things might be a lil bit off.

I hope you guys enjoy!
