I love it!! Ahh!! 💗🥰

Day 18: Cryptid

I figured this prompt was a good place to do a little tribute to the I Am… series by @swiftwidget and @aoimikans, considering how obsessed I was with the series as it was being written. So here’s a toshinomu!

Chapter Four: Hello Again

Written by @swiftwidget and @aoimikans​

Special note: So, it's been a bit. Six years flew by. Thank you for being so patient. Aoi and I are married now and recently celebrated our first anniversary. Life moves so fast, oh my god. Thank you to everyone who has stuck around to love and follow our series. Hello again.

Toshinori lay in the comfortable space between half-sleep and true wakefulness, breathing in the lingering scent of rose shampoo on the pillow. Dust motes hung in simple, glowing splendor, suspended midair in the shafts of morning light filtering in through the curtains. He sighed, content for this moment to watch the shining motes twist and trace the shape of his breath.

Toshinori couldn’t remember the last time he had slept so well. Between his nightly lapses and all he had seen at Yavin Central Clinic… All those unlucky victims chained to a wall, the dead-eyed noumu, the flash-bang of a gun in his face, and that young man slumped inside a hidden vault—Toshinori had assumed what little sleep he would manage would be plagued with nightmares. Yet here he was, nearly in the same position he had lain in to sleep.

From down the hall came clinks of ceramic and murmured ‘good mornings’ of a breakfast beginning without him.

Toshinori stretched his long legs, clawed toes splaying, and arched his tail with an indulgent groan. Then his knees popped loudly, and he reluctantly gave up on the frankly unrealistic idea of dozing for the rest of the morning.

Knuckles rapped quiet and sharp on the door.

“Come in,” Toshinori called, voice rough with first use.

“Yagi,” Aizawa cracked open the door and leaned inside, “Tsukauchi is going to drive us back to U.A.” 

Toshinori sat up and swung his legs off the bed, rubbing the remaining sleep from his eyes, “Right. Good morning, Aizawa.”

“Coffee or tea?” Aizawa asked, running his fingers over his scalp and untangling the mass of black hair around his shoulders. The rich aroma of coffee, eggs, and toast wafted into the room as he spoke.

Toshinori rocked to his feet and tugged the bedsheets back into place, sweeping them flat with his tail, “Tea for me, if it’s already made. Otherwise, water is fine. Thank you.” 

Aizawa nodded and left him to get ready, shutting the door behind him. He said something Toshinori did not catch as he walked back down the hall, his voice muffled and distant. From the kitchen, Naomasa… 

Naomasa…

Toshinori straightened, touching his cheek, and the corner of his lips tingled with memory. 

Oh. 

Naomasa had kissed him.

aaaaaa it's so good to see you and Swift again!! i hope the two of you are doing well~~ asdlfkjasd;f and i got the update email for Toshinoumu while i was at work and got so excited! i'm gonna reread the entire series again and am so pumped lasdkfjas;ldkf

It's so good to see you again too!! I haven't been on Tumblr in years and was a bit afraid it'd be like a deserted wasteland but I'm seeing so many familiar names 😭😭

The hiatus was really rough on us but we've been writing and brainstorming every day for the last month! Gotta keep it up!! It's so refreshing and days are going by so quickly now that we have the I am... series back in focus!!

Can't believe that since the last update, @swiftwidget and I got engaged, bought a house together, got married, and *just* celebrated our first wedding anniversary last month. We also have four cats and a dog. We only had one of each when the last chapter was posted 😂

It's nuts!! I hope you've been doing well!! Enjoy the reread and definitely let us know what you think!

[stingrachelmha]

Some partial Nomou-ified All Mights from the series I Am… by AoiMikans and SwiftWidget !! I love the concept soooo much. I wish there were more All Mights-centric stories like it!

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: Mr. Toshinori Yagi from the Second Secretarial Office: A kind, generous man with an uncanny knowledge about the Might Tower Staff who never hesitated to make their days brighter. At least, that's how they knew him.

Toshinomu 🥰

[cogentsummoner]

ANYWAYS. i'd be remiss not to recommend some amazing fics abt secretary yagi while im here

Undercover Lover by EAVanGeek: toshi/reader longfic, completed! slow, SLOW burn, lots of secret identity shenanigans, genuinely incredible fic that i revisit often. rating: explicit

Mr. Yagi by AoiMikans & Swiftwidget: some naomight but mostly about how the other employees of might tower see yagi. very cute and fun oneshot! rating: gen

Nicknames by Anonymous: toshi/reader oneshot, nontraditional a/b/o stuff, really fun fic that i revisit often. i adore some of the author's hcs and wish they weren't anonymous. rating: teen

i will literally NEVER get over toshinori pretending to be his own secretary. you KNOW absolutely jack shit is getting done. he has no idea what he's doing. he's doing the whole secret identity bullshit. its pure comedy i desperately need more of it

everyone say "thank you vigilantes" for giving us secretary yagi

expression meme

SLIGHT emotional whiplash from the last one but this was rly fun ! :’>

[sketchquill]

Fanart for @aoimikans and @swiftwidget for their Toshinomu ‘I Am...’ Series! If you haven’t read it yet I implore you to immediately go check the fics out as soon as you can, they are amazing!! o(≧∇≦o)

[swiftwidget]

aaaaaa it's so good to see you and Aoi again!! i hope the two of you are doing well~~ asdlfkjasd;f and i got the update email for Toshinoumu while i was at work and got so excited! i'm gonna reread the entire series again and am so pumped lasdkfjas;ldkf

Just saw this! We're so glad to see so many familiar friends still floating around here. It is so nice to hear from you, and we can't wait to keep the updates coming. :3

[toshinoumu]

Oh yeah, if there are new readers of the “I Am…” Series (Toshinoumu AU), it’s really best viewed on Ao3 since we’ve fixed many typos since posting the chapters to Tumblr.

Read it here!

[aoimikans]

Do do do~ going through the #Toshinoumu tag after ending a 6-year hiatus with @swiftwidget

[rakkigaru]

OH yes, back with the angst. More I am... fan art!!

[blacknovelist]

@swiftwidget

yeah!!!! Like

I knew there was gonna be a move on the army but it's so tense and terrifying and exciting to see it actually moving forward and happening

Someone's gonna die and it's not gonna be of fun

(probably. Not counting Nomu because Mirko seems to be having kind of a blast already)

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: Part 1 of the "I Am..." series It wasn’t the cold or the bright light bleeding through his eyelids that finally woke Toshinori. It was the smell. Sickly and sterile and metallic with an undercurrent of latex. He could never forget the smell of a hospital. Toshinori was on his knees, hunched forward and held up by the tension in his arms. He hissed as he pulled himself up. Sharp pains shot through his shoulders and down his spine, his back and shoulder muscles spasming as they settled back into place. Something rattled and dragged loud and low. Chains. He was shackled and chained to the wall.
