works where specifically kaidoh has interaction with or related to rikkaidai. some are gen, some are shippy.

  • Changechildren
    • Rating: T
    • Superpower AU
    • The fic that prompted me to make this list LMAO Rikkaidai and Kaidoh's interactions are too precious to be missed.
  • 'The Dead Angel' (All Rikkai & Kaidoh, Yagyuu/Niou)
    • Rating: R
    • Warnings: Violence, sex
    • Dystopian sci-fi AU.
    • Kaidoh is depicted already dead and the fic focuses mainly on 2882, so he's literally just mentioned hahah. Fantastic, well-written. The violence and dark emotions are described beautifully. The roles are so correct and appropriate.
