* DidntThinkThisThrough: Hayato lampshades to Joseph that bringing Shizuka back with him to New York and to his wife Suzi Q, who's already mad at him for cheating on him sixteen years ago, is going to cause further suspicion. Joseph admits that he didn't consider that, but he figures his wife will happily take in Shizuka after he explains her situation.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38203459/chapters/95445736 Things Are Gonna Get Easier]]'' is a {{Continuation}} fic for ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable''. It follows Hayato as he pushes through life after both his father's death and the death of his murderer. It finished on April 15, 2022.

Warning, LateArrivalSpoiler for ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' will be left unmarked.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Hayato surprises even himself when he laughs after finding out that Joseph Joestar couldn't pinpoint Yoshikage Kira's location because he was too focus on how angry his wife was after finding out about his extramarital affair.
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: Shizuka, the name of the invisible baby that Joseph found, was originally a name that Tomoko picked if her son Josuke was born a boy.

* EverybodyHasStandards: Okuyasu tells Hayato that while the Morioh group has a tendency to [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriend many of their former enemies]], naming himself and the newly adopted Stray Cat as examples, they don't extend that courtesy to the more ruthless enemies like Angelo and Akira Otoshi. He also adds they were never planning on befriending Kira, making sure he was arrested at the least and potentially [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood use Heaven's Door to suppress his murderous urge]] if need be.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Hayato is insistent on making sure that his mother Shinobu never finds out that her husbands "new leaf" was because he was [[KillAndReplace killed and replaced]] by a serial killer. The Speedwagon Foundation helped provide her with a cover story for Kosaku's death, saying that he was discovered dead in a Tokyo alleyway and likely killed by either the Yakuza or a loan shark.
* LoopholeAbuse: Josuke Higashikata's Stand [[HealingHands Crazy Diamond]], as in canon, can heal anything he touches [[NoSelfBuffs except himself]], which is a problem following his climactic fight with Kira and the resulting injuries that require immense surgery. However, he figures out that while he can't heal himself, he can fix the stitches if he unintentionally tears them as they aren't a part of his physical body. He does admit to Okuyasu and Hayato that doing so [[HarmfulHealing really hurts]], but it still works.
* PowerIncontinence: Joseph's old age has weakened his control over Hermit Purple, bringing up how [[ContinuityNod his attempt to check up on his newly revealed son led him to discover Angelo]]. He also reveals that when trying to find Kira after he disguised himself, his Stand was focused on what ''Joseph'' felt was the most dangerous threat, namely his wife after she discovered his past affair
* SmartBall: Okuyasu, of all people, is the one to figure out that the Kawajiri family will be having financial trouble now that their primary breadwinner Kosaku is gone, and brings up the idea of having the Speedwagon confirm Kosaku's death so they can use his life insurance to push through rent and other necessities.
* StacysMom: In typical [[KindheartedSimpleton Okuyasu]] fashion, when he meets Hayato's mom Shinobu for the first time, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot he blurts out loud how good-looking he is]]. Notably, Shinobu ''does'' entertain the idea, particularly after finding out how he's close friends with Hayato and that he's a KindheartedCatLover, though she shuts it down given that she's a grown woman and he's still a high schooler.

** In the fist chapter Kawajiri Hayato has a panic attack when Kishibe Rohan uses Heaven's Door to try to read him like a book, as it reminds him of the [[GroundhogDayLoop Bites the Dust time loop]] where Rohan attempted to read him and got killed by Kira Yoshikage's sub-Stand in the process.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The Morioh group is very unsettled learning that Hayato had been setting up video cameras in his parents' room ''before'' suspecting that his father was an imposter. That said, they are patient enough to explain and make him realize how disturbing and invasive this behavior is, and he decides to remove the cameras before his mom finds out.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Hayato is insistent on making sure that his mother Shinobu never finds out that her husbands "new leaf" was because he was [[KillAndReplace killed and replaced]] by a serial killer. The Speedwagon Foundation helped provide her a cover story for Kosaku's death.
