#deku's got the ''your quirk not his'' from sports fest

[helpimstuckinafandom]

Okay hold on so you're telling me that these rings with important lines from the characters with full-ass sentences are out here, and Kirishima's most important line - the biggest, most impactful thing from all the encouraging shit he's ever said - was just that one word. Everyone's got full sentences - Hawks has two whole rows of text - but Kirishima's is just. that. one. word. Yelling for Bakugou. Telling Bakugou to come to him. Holding out his hand. Just that one simple comand. His ring is reaching out to Bakugou.

And Bakugou's ring is a direct reply

Summary:

Joining Midoriya Sensei on his work trip -and yes, even sharing a bed for the first time- is medicine for you. The exchange of your passions has -and continues to be- an endless source of healing as you navigate life post-hero work. Each night away, you've danced into a settled calm with him; learning the rhythm of his habits. His sounds, his silences. When Izuku meets your gaze in the mirror, you read his mind loud and clear in how he emotes: he fawns, he sighs, then nods in the dearest way.

A/N: give me my sweet, simpering Deku, or give me death. Also by the way, yall are the best readers out there, thank you so much for all the love for my lil stories!

Life post-hero work was an adjustment for you… but you were starting to really get into the perks.

The lack of daily physical hardship holds the top spot on your list. PT? You can handle that on a rolling basis– the worst is behind you, and due to what you put yourself through which resulted in your injury, you’re out of official hero work for the foreseeable future- and in a way, grateful for the break on your muscles. You still retain your quirk, but can enjoy its thrills on a more recreational basis– your sweet boyfriend has even helped your healing by way of gentle exercises to keep things moving properly and get life manageable for you. 

Next would be the diet. You could certainly dip back into your baking hobby guilt-free now. You couldn’t get away from the hero world entirely -nor did you want to… but being able to settle into an agency office with an hourly job was also an incredible blessing. Late nights here and there were inevitable, but on the whole, you were able to greet and end your days with a steadiness of routine and safety.

Meeting Izuku Midoriya was the icing on your early retirement cake. Where you were tenderly finding your footing off the hero charts, Izuku held your hand to keep you upright. He didn’t lead or pull back on you– just came alongside you, so you didn’t fall too hard on the knees of self-doubt. He’s always so good like that. He knows your path because he himself shares it, and what a thing of fate that is.

New to you now though, is the general scope of free time you have. Not a forced flexibility due to the demand asked of an on-call hero, but you have paid time off. You have flex hours. You can work from home, if you so choose– so when you get the call that Izuku has been asked to hold a spot at the Sports Festival as the lead commentator, you are over the moon that you can answer with a wholehearted ‘yes’ when he asks you to come with him.

As if he’d be anything short of ecstatic, you truly believe the job was made for him. He’s got books upon books of hero research written by hand, and is essentially a walking Brittanica for Japan’s up and coming heroes, because of course he watches every other school’s sports fests in his free time so that his class can be the most prepared. Taking the role Present Mic once held when he was a student is a full-circle moment, and it's pretty precious seeing him in it. 

From day one, he’s a master of his craft, and from the couch you share in the observation deck with his co-teacher, Aizawa, you’re beyond impressed. You honestly wouldn’t be able to tell what department he was aligned with; he’s observant and complimentary of every students’ moves. You asked the pro hero hero beside you if this was the case when Izuku was younger, and he merely offered a sleepy,

“Intolerably, yes.”

But you see the lift of his cheek against his eyepatch and know that he’s secretly proud. 

The Sports Festival spreads over the course of a week now, as the culture surrounding the events available for support students to engage in has increased- to Izuku’s pride and joy. The training and feats of the heroes wouldn’t be possible without the other side of the coin, so he’s just as enthusiastic to hype up the developments of those courses as well. 

Watching your sweet Izuku -catching his eye when he looks back over to you and silently ushers you over to come watch an anticipated match-up of his kids off and on- is medicine for you. This entire exchange of passions has, and continues to be, a source of joy for you and is a treasured part of doing life with him. On that note, the event being held away from your district also grants you extended time to spend together that you normally wouldn’t, given the difference in your professional lives. Here, you’re locked in to five days and four nights of perfectly synced time– something you’ve not been able to do up to this point in your relationship.

Falling asleep and waking up together? This is the best thing ever.

On the first night, it hits your adorably flustered boyfriend that you’d indeed be sharing a room- and bed. That arrangement was something you’d registered the moment he’d asked you and were assuming he’d mentally (and spiritually) prepared for; but evidently it faced him the moment he stepped up to the counter to check in that Nezu had arranged you both to be together by default in the hotel block. 

But rather than falling on the trope of taking the armchair or sleeping on the ground like a middle school nervous nelly, Izuku was shy about it at first… but eager for the chance. The secret part of him finally let out some boyish excitement to find a bed big enough for you to actually share. You’d learned here that you both can spoon like you do on the couch, but you have so much room now. On both your parts, you’re a bit giggly and stiff at first- but settle in sweetly for the most comfortable night of your life.

By the second night, you both scoot into your room and -after a day of dancing around each other at more and more events- you’d be heard from the hallway: jumping into his arms and tackling him to the bed, filled with giggles and lots of kissing until you tangle up more willingly to sleep.

Night three, you’d both stayed out longer than you intended; catching up with some of the other instructors, which turned into essentially a repeat of the night you met. You take to talking up a storm on one of the hotel patios in a nerdy exchange of info-dumping and story-swapping that continues for almost three hours. You basically collapsed into bed the instant you got back, not even brushing your teeth out of exhaustion. Then by your fourth, you both are still so tired from the late night before and you flop on the bed, still in the sun-warmed clothes you set out in that morning.

It's so nice to be held by him- and it's torture to then look back up at each other. There’s definitely a softness found in Izuku’s face -as always, when it comes to your perfectly freckled sweetheart- but also something deep and personal. You want to ask him to shower together so badly and get rid of the day together- anything to add to this closeness you’ve been tiptoe-ing through all week. Worry over pushing him when he’s essentially on the clock keeps you from asking. This time, you still go about your rituals separately, only when you get out, you stay in a towel and shorts instead of full dressing down for bed.

When you're at the in-suite mirror doing your expedited, travel-sized skincare routine and Izuku stops by after he's out of the bathroom, he hesitates mid-step from trying to duck around you– and comes close, holds you by the middle. He stands shirtless behind you for the first time, showing you the scarring he carries in its fullest- no more tanks or undershirts hiding the worst from you. 

You’re as they say in the movies- incandescently happy.

“You smell so good,” he whispers. 

“You feel so good,” you answer. “Wanna go lay down?”

When Izuku meets your gaze in the mirror, you read his mind loud and clear in how he emotes: he fawns, he sighs, then nods in the dearest way. No sense in holding this darn towel up anymore, you simply turn in his arms, drop it, and kiss his surprise away with your reach up to his neck for a kiss. Your first of many, on this last night you could be wrapped up in your incredible boyfriend's arms with nothing but tender intentions on your mind.

Neither of you see a strong need for too many clothes under the sheets for this little foray into skin-to-skin contact, and enjoy a restorative makeout session. He's marked you up a bit, too, by all the harsh kissing he tends to do towards you (you low-key love this, since ‘that’s what makeup’s for’), and you especially appreciate how he plays with you perched in this arrangement.

You’re the first girl he's ever had topless in his reach– which is obvious from how he holds you in his lap nuzzling at your chest,

"Wow, y'r the moss'beautiful woman i'vever seen~"

From your previous talks of dalliances, you proudly keen over him, "I think I'm the only naked woman you've ever seen."

"-I've seen naked women."

You glance back to him, humored but flat, "Who."

Those green doe eyes flicker back up at you, oddly innocent as he quickly names his former classmate, who you’ve commonly heard referred to as Yaomomo, 

“Creati?” he tries to jog your memory, “i-it's part of her quirk, I didn't ev’r mean to look..."

Playfully suspicious, you test him, "Never had a feel?"

"I mean,” Izuku sharpens up a little to answer clearly, “She fell on me once, over in one of the training centers- and I wasn't gonna let her hit or head on something.."

"So a 'strategic catch'. Is that what we're calling it?" You sway your chest in front of him, feeling up his own, “I’m a horribly jealous creature, as you well know.”

He sinks and nuzzles gently at your pushed up chest- by his desire for lift. You’re playing with his painfully polite nature, of course- nothing but secure of your place with him.

"Not even once. Promise." 

Izuku lays a little kiss on your freshly cleaned skin where your heart lies under the surface, and ends up moaning at how soft it is- and so, keeps peppering kisses to your delight, "Oh wow... Oh wow, you're soft."

His name leaves you in an unsteady sigh as you’ve been scratching through his hair until it starts feeling so sharp and heady that you grip onto his neck in need of more support.

He's working on some passes with his tongue around your nipple when he whisper-sighs up to you, 

"mmmm don't stop doing tha'..."

So you play with his hair at his request, and he adores every bit of you that’s in reach: chin to cheek to neck while being the most gently vocal you've ever heard him.

The minute you rolled your barely clothed hips up on his lap just once, he split his attention from holding your waist to him to smoothing over your thigh to encourage the movement.

He started a slinking lean as he did so, losing his absolute mind watching you in a daze, before something dull hit your window - followed by a kid’s call of 'Sorry!!' . You siphon all your attention at the noise in a wide-eyed look that matches his.

Sweetly enough, you noted how fast Izuku held you at the sound, like he was going into strict ‘protect’ mode at the clash of a frisbee.

But, out of danger and out of breath, Izuku simply fell back and palmed his face.

"ughhbyou feel'so good... Mdizzy."

The heat you’d felt simmering in you has died at the interruption, but your fondness sure hasn’t.

You giggled, lowering into his chest and gripping the covers over your shoulders to warm you up, "Good dizzy?"

Even with an arm over his eye, your boy chuckled brilliantly, 

"Very good dizzy, hon’. Whew. We uh– we better stop before they start bangin’ on the door next."

You carded through his hair more, self-assured he was still just as taken by you despite the hard stop. How he kept you to him while shuffling the covers over you both was proof he didn’t want you going anywhere. Once settled, he felt he could focus again and brushed your hair back for attention,

"Hi there, handsome~"

"h-hi~" Izuku echoed.

You kissed again, a good deal calmer at first, but growing like a steady fire. Lips roaming, claiming, and keeping you ever closer. Comfort and reclaimed eagerness tipped you over by his strong guiding hand, all in favor to continue to mouth along your clavicle again.

Then, at the first sound of your addictive moans, he detached- forehead to your sternum, watching the rise and fall of your sweet belly beneath him.

"Ahh..” Izuku’s little war with himself was adorable, “w-we should stop. For real. I can’t- that’d be mean."

“You said that,” you answer with mirth, “but I don’t think ‘Little Deku’ agrees~”

Izuku wheezes out your first, middle, last and retired hero title to the point of coughing before you take it easy on him. Poor, desperate thing, brought low by little tease.

You chuffed against his stroke of nerves kindly. 

"Yes we should, if you say so," You snaked a hand through his hair, "Thank the Maker we don't have to second guess the chemistry department, huh?"

Izuku laughed brightly, slotting himself atop you, between the legs so you didn't have to feel how semi-hard he was. Snuggling back down, your heartbeats held their own conversation, content to cool to a reasonable temperature and slow things down, together.

"I'm so glad you came here with me." Izuku spoke softly to your neck, "This time with you really does me so much good."

And you really have enjoyed it. Getting to see firsthand the place where much of his proving of himself started, this event forged a lot of bonds with the close friends he still has to this day. 

"I'm glad I did too," You kissed the hairline within reach and simply laid comforting scratches along his back. "It's gonna be hell to go back."

"You don't wanna go back to work?"

You threw pity into your voice, "I don't wanna give up this glorified sleepover, no."

You don’t mean just getting carried away with thin walls and thinner restraint. You mean the intimacy that getting out of town sometimes offers in a way nothing else would. The week has made you softer, more in tune to the rhythm of Izuku’s habits. His sounds, his silences. 

The dampened shyness you hold thinking about it floats across him, so he laid back onto your arm to look up at you, 

"We don't have to. We can still have them~"

"Yeah?" You wonder how, earnestly, and he smiles in kind.

"Yeah!” his answer radiates nothing but pure sunshine, “Whenever you want! I'll come over, and we'll cook, and have podcast nights and snuggle, and... and.."

He’s got a look now- one that teeters along the line of flirty and unsure.

"Snuggle?" you finish for him mercifully.

"Y-yeah."

"Vocal snuggles?"

"Stop it," Izuku hid in your shoulder, "don't make fun of me."

"I'm not making fun of you~" you turned and kissed his blushing cheeks, rubbing his shoulder slowly. "No more than I'm making fun of myself for sounding like a wonton Victorian who just caught sight of an ankle for the first time."

His laughter betrays how offended he is at the idea, "Stoooop…"

"Mmmm, I don't think I will!"

Time to take things slow.. that might top your list now. If it means more nights with your hero draped in your arms, then the promise of time spent under his attention beats out any other remedy you’ve found so far.

Ok, 2 thoughts 

1) I have this idea that Eri eventually becomes a hero called “Back Up!” (Yes, the exclamation point is included). It’s both a reference to her Quirk, and the fact she’s a “back up” hero, or serves as back up in most situations. She’s trained enough to use “Rewind” that she can use it safely, and she works as a doctor/field medic/“healing” hero. Like, they only call her in for serious shit, but she can reverse just about any injury beyond straight up death. She also can use Rewind to sort of “pause” a person, keep them in stasis, until other medical help arrives, but this isn’t, like, great for anyone when she does that, herself included, and it’s honestly easier and safer to just rewind a person so they never were hurt in the first place. She only uses the “pause” option for if there’s some weird interaction that Rewind might not effect, or if using Rewind would actually be detrimental (I headcanon that sometimes, using Rewind can be a shock to the system, so depending on the injury, it’s actually better to just “pause” the person and wait for medical help to arrive).

2) K, so, Hirokazu spends his first few months at U.A. flipping between charismatic and jackass “I’m better than everyone else”. He seems to have SPECIFIC BEEF with Nijiko, which is frustrating for all, Because Nijiko sees him as someone to admire and emulate (other kid with a bird Quirk, also has controllable feathers, but seems so much better at it than her, could he give her some tips?? He’s so cool?). The various kids complain to various parents, Katsuki is getting horrible flashbacks to her own childhood and teen years. Sports Fest happens, Nijiko and Hirokazu fight … and hoo boy. It is BRUTAL. Both Hirokazu and Nijiko end up knocked out of the tournament entirely - Nijiko due to injury, Hirokazu TECHNICALLY for the same reason. Like, that’s what they tell the public. In reality, Hirokazu was the big instigator for the fight, so the school is coming down on him for Excessive Force, and threatening to ban him from the internships. But Katsuki decides “No, I got this”, and puts in to have Hirokazu do his internship with her. School agrees, so now Dynamight has a week to try and beat some sense into Hothead.

(No idea who actually wins the Sports Fest? Either rando, not related to the Chaos Class, or possible Akiko, who just went Kirby on everyone and spat them out of the ring.)

So, Kats is dealing with Hirokazu Kazanawa, Hero Name: Notus, the Southern Wind, and internally apologizing to all her teachers because GOD, was she this self-absorbed? Like, Hirokazu spends half his internship complaining about Nijiko getting to intern with Hawks, when HE should have been, he’s CLEARLY better than her. Katsuki is kind of ripping her hair out, but LM is doing her internship with Deku (multiple Quirk use practice) so she helps out a bit. Anyway, eventually Katsuki does start to chip away at his exterior a bit. They even start getting a decent heart-to-heart going, about blame, and insecurity. In fact, it’s going really well, until Hirokazu realizes Katsuki is comparing him and Nijiko, to her and Deku, and without even thinking, goes “Do NOT compare my sister and I, with you and your husband, that’s disgusting.”

Katsuki: “Ok, fine, I what the fuck do you mean ‘sister’!?”

Hirokazu: *shit, fuck, I fucked up*

Hirokazu clams up, but Katsuki is determined, and eventually Hirokazu blurts out that’s just what his mom told him. So, Katsuki contacts Akamei, like “Hey, your son said some shit, can you confirm what the FUCK he’s talking about??” And Akamei decides she can USE this. So, she spins a bit of a story, that her “partner” cheated on her with someone, resulting in Nijiko. That he ran off with his mistress, leaving her and Hirokazu behind. She only saw Nijiko once, but it was enough to recognize her when the news about her adoption went public. She has no idea what happened to her partner, or the mistress. She also used to be very bitter about Nijiko’s existence, but now she’s wondering if maybe Nijiko and Hirokazu should connect? They are FAMILY, after all.

Someone decides to do a DNA test, to confirm that Nijiko and Hirokazu are related. And yep, they are. DNA test also confirms who the dad is, so now the whole squad is concerned, and wondering WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?

-

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA BEAUTIFUL And yes to everything on Eri!

No but yeah I’m I’m I’m-

I’m imagining that their DNA test to check out the story they just use what they have on hand to do it quickly, which while it runs Nijiko and Hirokazu’s DNA against each other, it also runs the DNA against logged samples in the system.

And there’s Hero DNA in the system, partly because the Commission are control freaks and partly so it’s easier to sort out crime scenes in the aftermath of a hero v villain fight.

Then yeah the test dings on a match to Hawks’ DNA which has everyone like ???????????. Then a follow up of ‘okay looking at the kids and their Quirks that makes sense but how the FUCK-”.

Because they know that Hawks isn’t going to cheat on his husband ofc. And even if they were going to do something threesome-ish then it’d be someone they knew and therefore they’d know about the kids. But clearly they don’t!

They also def know something’s Up™ because obvs that doesn’t match Akamei’s story of her partner running off.

They’d talk and then mention Akamei being involved and that’d click for Hawks because he remembers her and what kind of person she was/what her job was and he’s like “Bad news, I just remembered that the Commission had some DNA samples that could’ve been used to make them. Worse news: I don’t think it was just a case of wanting a surrogate father.”

Shoto todoroki x reader license exam

A/n: enjoy

Quirk- magic-you can do anything that scarlet witch can

Non of the characters or quotes are mine they belong to the original creator that said don't steal my work ©️Maycat-19-142 2023

Part1/part2/part3/part4

You got off the bus to see a lot of other schools. You walked with you friend mina and momo. Mineta was freaking out as you stood in front of the bus. Todoroki got off before you so yiu walked over to him while kina walked to jiro.

"If you can get your licenses you will become chick in the hero world." Aizawa said calmly as you nodded. I can't wait to be hero chicken" kaminari said happily. "Let's do the usual you guys" Kirishima said pumping his fist in the air.

A boy around your age with a head one walk up behind him and yelled "plus ultra"

You turn your head more to see 2 more students in the same uniform. "It is not good to jump in to other people's huddle inasa." The first boy said "I'm sorry" he proceeded to slam his head im the group, making you jump a bit back.

"Who is this" kaminari asked

"Hey there from the famous school on the other side of Japan" Kirishima said

"UA in the wast shiketsu in the east" you and bakugou's said. Deku looked shocked to see the other school students. "I love UA high" inasa said "he had the highest scores in the recommendation category but he turned down UA for shiketsu" aizawa said

"He is our age" deku asked in shock again as he looked over to todoroki who was looking calmly at the boy. You thought to yourself "he got the top spot so he's better than shoto. Wow"

The class walked away as you heard a female voice say "eraser I'd know that scowl anywhere, I saw you on TV at the sports fest but it has been a while since we were this close" a woman with green hair said

"She looks familiar" deku said to himself.

"Let's get married" the woman said. Aizawa just reply with a flat "no"

"Haha you're a real laugh riot buddy" she laughed as aizawa and your class just stared at her. "Stop joke" aizawa said

"Thats ms.joke" you said

"Her quirk is outburst which makes people laugh" deku said quietly

"Come on if I was your wife you would have a life of constant laughter" joke said happily

"That is a nightmare" aizawa said

"Yall are close" tyu said

"As young heroes we had a shared love that bloom" she said love sickly

"Nope" aizawa said

"You're my favorite person to tease future husband" joke said

"So joke if you hear" aizawa started

"Yup my class is here" she said "this is UA guys"

A group of older students walked over and some looked shock and others looked tired. "2nd years" joke said "this is class 2"

A boy with fluffy black hair walk up to you and deku and grabbed your hands "hi I'm yo shindo I'm a big fan" you pulled you hands back and wiped them on your uniform and you took todoroki hand instead. The boy just started to talk to deku while yiu and todoroki just stood together while holding hands.

Till and girl with blond hair came up to todoroki and ask for an autograph "you were so cool at the sports festival." She said. Todoroki like looked confused

"Get your costumes and head to orientation." Aizawa said as you picked up your costumes box and started to walk with shoto. Yiu got changed and walk on to the main room. Your costumes was a black body suit with knee lingth shorts and a [favorite color] trench coat with cut outs of leather and lace on the sleeve. You have a pair of white boot and finally and gray and white chunky belt.

"Ok let's get started I'm from rh public safety commission names mara" mara said "my sleep schedule is messed up and I haven't slept in a while. With that I'll begin orientation. 1450 people compete in a free for all exercises or whatever. Since stan was brought in many have lost faith in heros. But when yiu think about it if your going to rick your life you should get payed right. That they way the world works God i could use a coffee anyway we have to many hero in the streets to keep villains at bay. Honestly how long it takes from start to end it so short so yiu will be in a mess. The slowest will fail that is what you will do today the first 100 with pass

"I thought the pass rate was half not less than 10%" momo said confused

"I'm getting nervous" you and jiro said together.

"Well the world is pretty crappy" said mara "I think I should say good luck so basic rules and examine with have 3 targets on the body and the targets with light went his with a orange ball. You must hit 2 peoples targets and if 2 are lit up and you hit it you will get the point."

The room just started to open the ceiling fell to the ground and so did the walls they opened like a box. "Wow" you said looking around the arena

"Do you best or not what ever" mara said

You got your targets and put them on your belt, stomach, and sternum. You got the ok to run out so you ran with tyu and momo while todoroki went on his own. You chose to work with the rest of your class but you stayed close to jiro and tyu. "Every one know our powers" deku said

"The sports fest" you said and slapped your self in the face as you ran with your class. Then the test started with the sound of a horn.

You saw many schools incircle your class. You recognize the boy and girl of class 2 along with there class mates. They started to thought the orange balls at you and your class. You made sheld around your self and a few members of your class. Yiu look up to see dkeu doing is move "full cowling"

You and your classmates protected your self as the test started. A boy with ue skin made 2 balls rock hard then he passed them to a boy with black long hair. He sent them underground to hit your class.

Jiro made a heart beat distortion wave b with her speakers. It broke the ground. The balls almost got mineta but mina blocked them with "acid vale". Yiu saw tokoyami almost hit the girl from earlier but she sucked in on herself like a turtle. You covered 3 balls in energy and thought then at a boy with red hair from class 2 they hit his's targets and got him out. 1 out 1 to go.

The boy from class 2 named shindo made the ground violently shake causing your class to be broken up to to meny groups. You ended up with momo, tyu, jiro, and shoji. You all walked around trying to find people to target and shelter from being targets.

You ended up in a office building that was empty or so you thought. "56 people have passed" you heard over the intercom.

"Any luck shoji" tyu asked as he listened around the office building. Yiu looked over to jiro who was listening in the office building as well. "It no use shoji" said "I can't see of her anyone from our class did you hear that less than half the spots are open."

"Yes I hope our classmates pass" momo said and you nodded in agreement. "I can't feel any present on the floor" you say feeling for minds around you. "Shhh" jiro said "I hear four people coming up the stairs"

"Are they planning on attacking us" shoij asked juro shrugged in response "I wonder why there are just 4" tyu asked.

"All the other schools are larger group than that" momo said "they are not stopping on the the other floors" said jiro

Then she jumped back holding her ears as the room was blasted with loud music. Shoji put his ear to the wall and said "it's not bad for be but the shock for jiro was probably bad"

Jiro was in momo lap as momo trying to help her stand up from the shock. "They must know her quirk" you said "this is a planned attack"

You then saw something hit the windows so you made a sheld over the windows. "They are trying to trap us" momo said "then attack as a group" tyu said. "Yes they are already probably closed to us."

Jiro got up to attack the door but something hit with windows and broke your shield and hit jiro's ear and amp. "Does it feel cold to you " shoij asked "yup" you and momo said. They were closing the windows and they locked the doors. Tyu fell over but shoij stopped he fall. "She is going in to hibernation" you said. As momo made a blanket to keep her warm

You lower your self down to your knees to make your self smaller to help with keeping in heat. You watched momo as she thought about what she should do. "Why aren't making anything" jiro asked

Momo said calmly "they want me to to use my quirk till I'm not able to move. They lowered the air to take out tyu, and to district [lastname] from her quirk, the window had been covered to stop shoji and jiro's ear is hurt." She said

"If we stay we will get taken out" jiro said as momo kept thinking "everyone hold on i bit longer." Momo said as he opened her dress to make headphones. To took a pair an put a pair on your self and a pair on tyu.

Momo then stated to make a large amp for jiro to use her good ear to shock them "this is shaking me up" you said as you held to the headphones on your head.

You opened the door and saw many girls on the floor. Then momo was dragged in the room with a woman from the group. You forced the door open and tyu rapped he tongue around the girls hand. " why did yiu come back" the girls said

"Because at UA we protect our friends" you said as the girl gave up and momo hit her targets. You walked over to a spot with a girl and you hit her targets. You had passed round one.

You and your group walked into the zone with the people that passed. You saw todoroki standing on his own and you walked up to him. "Sho you passed" he moved his head and meet you [color eyes] "yes and so did you I'm proud."

"I'm proud of you too" you say as he leans in to kiss you on the lips. It was short and sweet. You shocked he even held your hand earlier because the one PDA you do is in private.

You hear momo call to you for the removal of the targets so you walk away and get them removed. Then you return to todoroki with momo, jiro, tyu, and shoji who was following momo. The 4 of you talked about what was going one during the exam so far. You saw the boy that turned UA down watching you and your class mates. he just looked at you when you made eyes contact. You gave a small amwave buy he ignored you.

After that rest of your class arived yiu at talked about what happened and what you thought was next part was. The kids from shiketsu were walking away after talking about a good school relationship till todoroki said "you with the collar, did I offend you some how" your eye tracked inasa. At least that is what you thought aizawa called him earlier. He turned around and looked at todoroki.

"Oh no I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings, well son of Endeavor I just can't help but hate both of you. You have changed since the first time we met. You have your fathers eyes" inasa said coldly.

You walked over from you conversations with uraraka and put a hand watched todoroki. He had told you above his scars and his father a few weeks ago so this must have hurt him. Rhe tension was so thick you could cut it till one of inasa's upper classman asked "every thing ok" inasa just started to nod

"Todoroki" deku walked up to where you and todoroki were standing but then a girl with blond hair said "see ya" and mineta and Kaminari Started in interrogat deku.

"Shoto are you ok" you asking talking his hands and facing him. Eyes meeting at a common level

"Yes [nickname] I'm ok" he was obviously not but you don't press the issue any more. Then the bell of the next text went off and you got ready to begin. The story was the city was attacked and you had to save people from ruble and get them to a med center.

You ran out to see a destroyed city. You went to a pile of rubble with your classmates and found a boy with some injuries "hi are you ok, what is your name" you asked the boy

"I'm toya" he said "and I have a broken arm" he showed you his arm which looked broken. You picked him and took him to the medical station. When you got there and put him down he yelled "you gotta tell me when you're going to pick me up minus 1 point." "Ok" you said before telling the other students at the station what happened to him and going out back to the rubble to get the next round of people.

You, Mina, tyu, torū, and todoroki went over the the river area to help get people out of the river and rabble around it. You help lift a older woman with your quirk.

Then you saw villains. Not really it was gang orca who was a hero. You put up a shild around you and the people you were rescuing. As you moved them to the medbay. You moved to the medbay and ran back to help. You took a longer bat villain free path to the medbay. As you see villains charging the medbay. You made a sheld over the medbay as you help,ojiro mina,and deku moves people to the new med zone.

You kept moving and tried to ignore the villain and help calm down the little girl in your arms as you ran to the new medbay. Yiu saw todoroki and inasa fighting on the battle feld. To tried to ignore it and in the end you did.

Soon the test ended and the heros won. You went to the girls locker room and got changed in to your school uniform. You walked out with your bestfriends jiro and momo with you hero costume cases in hand as you walked to the area that would tell you if you passed or not.

You listened to the speeck of mara and yiu were told to find your name in alfabetical order. You scanned that names and saw you passed. You jumped up and down with uraraka as you both passed. Then you looked over for your classmates and oh no you don't see todoroki.

Shoto todoroki one of the best in the class failed his hero license exam. You looked over to him and he looked with a cold look in his eyes. Inana walked over to todoroki and told him sorry and again slammed his head in the ground. Shoto replied "your fine I'm the one that got us to a bad start and thanks to what you said i have a lot to think about"

"Looks like the class hierarchy is falling" mineta said climbing todoroki shoulder. You quickly smacked him on the neck as he fell off todoroki iida caught him. "Hey sho are you ok" you asked for the 2nd time today involving inasa. Shoto just nodded. Again he was not ok

"Now we with give you the print outs of your scores" said mara. The worker stated to pass out the papers you got yours and OH MY LORD you got a 92 that was exactly high for the grading process. You saw yiu needed to work on speed and assessing the scenario more before diving in.

"Now to the people that passed yiu have prohero authority in an emergency situation. Use it well" mara said seriously. "You have so much more to learn so work hard to the people that failed you have that chance to retest after a 3 month long training course to get a license." There we're so many cheers and todoroki looed shock at the note of rhe course. Mineta was talking about todoroki not talking the test so the hierarchy continues to fall.

You got your pictures taken and got your license. To took an photo with your phone and put the license in your phone case to keep it safe and with you.

"Hey hey" you hear and turned your head to see inasa he was running at your class at full speed and yelling. "Todoroki I'll see you at the special course but it still don't like you, sorry."

"We'll make the best if it" todoroki said as he watched inasa run back to his class

I don't know how many of these todoroki x fem hero course reader I'll do because they take forever but it enjoy them so if there popular I will make more. Have a good day and night 🌙

As both a Bakugou and Izuku fan, it kinda irks me when people defend or attack Bakugou behaviors in the past. I would say that it is hard to see, if through the whole course of their childhoods together, the bullying Bakugou did to Midoriya was consistent or not and to what degree did it manifested? (It would be wholly different if he just punched kid Deku one time, then tell him to reborn as he might as well get his quirk in another life, from consistently through 14-15 ish years? of their life intermingling with each other in a bully-bullied dynamic. Both Bakugou's defenders and attackers glossed over this fact. We don't know enough. However, if the previous Anon think Bakugou had never been a bad person, they are correct, but he was, at one point, a 'bad' kid, struggling with his too big of a ego and thoughts being mangled and shaped by the biases of society, only to have that character development and become the 'not bad' person he is now instead. Bakugou was never really the underdog though, the narrative rarely ever truly portrays him as that. But maybe the previous anon who said Bakugou is better on his own and they never like Deku in the first place, meant an underdog in social aptitude? Cause boy Bakugou is winning in most aspect in life lol (boy got looks, a good background, a good quirk, inner introspection, AQ, IQ from being nutured + genetics and environment, etc.) Even though he is made fun of because of his attitude sometimes in the story, it is hardly him who is the underdog. Even if he is never the chosen one, he can, and is believed to be able to battle for the pedestal in the first place. Bakugou may represent a slightly frown uppon ideal in the Japanese society (individualism) but in no way this kid is portray and put through the underdog route.

#passive-aggressive

I can tell you put a lot of energy into this so I'mma let your rant stand lol. Most of my feelings on this are available here, though I may have slight nuances and updates to it given how long it's been since I wrote it.

And I'm not the first person to comment on this, but Katsuki does paradoxically occupy one obvious underdog space: in the meta. As the audience, we don't necessarily expect him to win against Izuku at the Ground Beta training or against Shouto at the sports fest because of all the tropes in previous anime that came before. That's not exactly what you're talking about, but I think it's an interesting observation.

[little-fairy-forest]

Can I request class 1a reader win the Sports fest

🍀Hello lovely! I'm answering this sooner then the others since it's short and sweet, I'll have the next ask in my inbox answers shortly :)

Class 1-A x sports festival winner

Class 1-A x gn!reader, fluff

You done it, finally done it, you won the first year sports festival

You have been training for months, you are so happy that your hard work paid off

You received messages from family and friends who watched the event either live on TV or where there in person, either way the support was much welcomed

As you step down from the podium and made your way over to Todoroki to give him congratulations on getting third since Bakugou was er occupied

"Congratulations L/n, you earned your title, I'm sure the class would like to celebrate" the duel haired boy says as you both walk off the field

You were greeted by your classmates congratulating you and Todoroki,

"Yo wheres Bakugou? He still out there?" Kaminari asks as he give you a high five

"Yeah I think he is talking to Allmight, not sure" you say as you hug Tsuyu back

"*ribbit* we should celebrate later, I'm sure we can go to a restaurant *ribbit*" Tsuyu suggests as everyone gathered their belongings from the lockers and make their way home

As you were on your phone flicking through different social media platforms, you thanked each classmate for posting about your win online, aswell as reading some headlines and broadcasting stations who televised the event

You met with your classmates to celebrate the sports festival being over, you all began ordering your meals as Iida decided to make a toast

"Its wonderful everyone could make it this evening to celebrate the victories of class 1-A today, especially Todoroki, Bakugou and L/n. I hope you all get a good rest after the performance you put out here today!" Iida says with a big smile on his face as he raises his glass "a toaste to class 1-A's future heros"

Everyone raises their classes and cheers ,

As people finished their meals, you were asked a question by Kirishima "hey L/n let me know when we can hit the gym as gym buddies! I need a new partner" he suggests as he looks at you with a bright smile

"nah I didn't go against them in the festival, I need to spar" Sero said as he picks up another bread roll

"Tch as if you could beat them, I've had a headache all say because of that dumbass," Bakugou says as he looks at you "also- learn to not hit guys in the balls, it fucking hurts, Deku wasn't able to walk, ya seen him get dragged of like some rag doll? Pathetic" Bakugou snickers as he remembers the green eyed boy almost die from pain

You take a mental note for next time, yeah you didn't mean to hit Midoirya- there of course not! You were trying to counter his attack

As people trickled out of the restaurant you were given small gifts as a reward for your success

Yaoyarozu gave you a gift card to a sports wear shop, Kaminari got you some hero merch, Todoroki paid for the meal, you tried to split it as did everyone else but he insisted

Midoriya gave you one if his note books that was about your progress and what you should try with your quirk

You were so grateful that your classmates were so supportive of you even if you have only known them for a such time :)

Bakugou made a promise that he will kick your ass next year, yeah all right katsuki

Requests are open, I have a few more asks to get through

Summer is almost here!

Thank you for reading :)

BNHA Chapter 321 Spoiler Analysis: Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Good god almighty it’s been 2 weeks already!  A lot of MHA stuff was released today: the Shonen Jump Cover, the 7th Anniversary cover page, Volume 31 Cover, and of course, Chapter 321!  My hand’s getting better, but I’m liking these shorter analysis's so let’s go:

First we got the Volume 31 Cover and it’s really good!  It’s basically All Might passing down the power of OFA to Deku.  You can see their various clothes in the mist like their UA uniforms, their Hero costumes, and even Deku’s middle school uniform (which took me a while to see).  It’s a really beautiful Volume cover, but god it’s weird to see All Might not smile in his buff form.  Like it’s so odd.  

Next is the Shonen Jump cover page featuring Deku in his Stealth Suit with Rody Soul and his bird, Pino, looking from the sidelines.  Deku looks so freaking badass in this suit!  I really hope he wears it for a while in the film.  I’m gonna guess he’s gonna wear it at the film’s climax, but we don’t know yet.  Hell, we barely know what WHM’s about AND THE MOVIE COMES OUT NEXT WEEK!  God, I want to see this movie why can't I live in Japan and speak Japanese 😭

The last color page we get is this awesome double page spread of all the 1-A kids + Aizawa building this massive All Might Mecha!  They’re all wearing green suits, goggles, and various pieces of tech on them.  Really, it’s just a super cool spread that looks like it’s colored the same way as the 5th anniversary one was.  I think you need to see it yourself to know what everyone’s doing because there’s a lot going on.

Now onto the chapter!  Endeavor has made it to the scene, but he’s still trusting the kids to bring Deku back as he should.  They can definitely handle themselves.  I do feel bad for Kirishima though.  He wants to say things to Deku (as everyone does), but his Quirk can’t do much to stop Deku so long as Deku’s fighting long range and in the air.  I’d like to see my rock son in action again.

So, SHOTO’S FREAKING PISSED!!!  I don’t think I’ve seen him this mad at Izuku since the Sports Fest.  He’s being logical here by thinking how AFO could be planning to target UA now since Deku isn’t there to protect it and that Deku should have a choice to come back to UA and fight along his friends.  Shoto REALLY wants Deku to come to his senses.  Probably more than most of the class.  This is what happens when your best friend goes rouge and doesn’t think the rest of you are strong enough to catch up to him.  I was honestly hoping Shoto’s and Deku’s conversation would go further than this, but this is still really good.  Maybe we’ll get more later 👀

A lot of this chapter is mainly the rest of 1-A teaming up to catch Deku with all their Quirks.  Even Mineta is out here spitting facts for once.  Like, ok Grape boy go off. 

Then the kids pull off this insane plan that’s kind of hard to explain, but I’ll do my best:

Shoto created a more refined ice ramp like what he did back in the All Might VS. AFO fight except it actually looks like a ramp this time and covers a good block of the city.

There are some rails put down to ready the kids for launch and I bet Momo created that b/c who else?

Shoto stands behind Bakugo who is preparing to get launched in the air with this 0.1% Solubility Acidman created my Mina.  I honestly thought this Acidman was created to help the kids slide easier on Shoto’s ice at first, but I finally understood what it actually was after going through the leaks a few more times.  

The more physically stronger kids push Shoto and Bakugo to slide on the ice and Shoto blasts both of them on through the ramp using his Flashfreeze Heatwave like a speeding rocket!

Shoto pushes Bakugo up in the air with the propulsion of his Super Move and Bakugo goes flying.  Ochako uses her Zero Gravity on the Acidman for reasons we’ll see later.  Also, Shoto sounds insulted by Deku’s “Won’t be able to keep up” when CLEARLY THEY CAN!

Bakugo uses his new explosions to use Explosive Speed Turbo Cluster to increase his speed to what looks like mach speed levels!  Seriously, this dude is like a sonic jet at this point and his new explosions look sooooo cool!

Finally, it’s revealed that Iida was covered in Mina’s Acidman and Bakugo uses his Explosions + Ochako’s Zero Gravity to FREAKING LAUNCH IIDA TOWARDS DEKU BECAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WITHSTAND THIS SPEED!!!

Iida manages to catch up with Deku and grabs his hand I WAS A FOOL FOR THINKING IT WOULD BE BAKUGO OF COURSE IIDA MAKES SENSE HE WAS ONE OF DEKU’S FIRST REAL FRIENDS😭💙💚

I told you guys that plan was insane!  But it did work!  They grabbed Deku!  Now all they need to do is bring him back.  

Throughout this team-up, there are some interesting things that happen here:

Ochako establishes how all of them want to fight alongside Deku.  They don’t want to push him away or need to be protected by Deku.  They just want to be by his side again.  

Shoto looks extra pissed and determined in one panel to the point where his left eye is set aflame.  That rarely happens outside of him being in battle unless Shoto’s feeling some strong sense of emotion like he did when Endeavor fought High-End.  I guess this counts as him battling, but you get my point.  

Bakugo calls Iida “Class Prez” instead of something like “Glasses” for once!  Maybe he’s slowly gaining more respect for the rest of his friends.  Not 100% close to real names yet, but he’s getting there.

Bakugo thinks how there are things he needs to say to Deku!  He’s letting Iida do his part first, but looks like that conversation is going to happen soon.  Man, I’m REALLY hoping we get Deku Vs. Kacchan soon!  Bakugo needs to apologize to Deku or at least have a good heart-to-heart with him, but we know how these two work.  Their going to fight their feeling out and it’s going to be amazing.  I can feel a Part 3 in my bones.  Please, Horikoshi!

Now we hear the rest of what the 2nd OFA Holder said a few chapters ago.  It was addressing Bakugo, but more like Class A as a whole.  The thing that can bolster Deku are the people who share the same will and the people who run beside him at the same pace.  Isn’t that 1-A for ya?

So, Iida finally grabs Deku’s hand (hey, IidaDekus, how ya feeling?), his glasses are broken and his suit is breaking from the power of the speed he was going at, and he says the words that Deku said to back in the Stain Arc: “Giving help when it’s not asked for is the essence of being a hero”.  AND BOTH DEKU AND IIDA ARE CRYING IN THE AIR WHILE ALL THIS IS HAPPENING MY HEART I’M SOBBING 😭

Really, this whole thing is a big callback to the Stain Arc and how Deku let Kirishima grab Bakugo’s hand back at the Kamino Rescue because Kirishima was the only one who could do it.  Now it’s Iida’s turn to grab Deku’s hand who, btw, even refers to Deku as a “lost child” 😭💔.  AND THE CHAPTER IS EVEN CALLED “FROM CLASS A TO OFA” WHY HORIKOSHI WHY???

Honestly fantastic chapter all around!  We’ve seem to have reached the climax of Deku Vs. Class 1-A, so now comes the resolution.  The SFX on the last panel of Deku says “Fall” so maybe he’s run out of fuel and his finally passing out from exhaustion.  But, I don’t know guys...  Deku Vs. Kacchan still NEEDS to happen.  I don’t know about now, but definitely soon.  Also we still don’t know what the 2nd Holder’s Quirk is yet.  I want to say that they’re going to finally bring Deku home next chapter, but I’m not certain.  So, we’ll just have to wait and see.

ME THIS ENTIRE FREAKING ARC AND PROBABLY TILL THE END OF THE SERIES:

BNHA AU where everything is the same in this Villain Hunt Arc except everything is in the context of a D&D game and actions are decided by rolling a die. Izuku is the OFA Vestiges’ communal player character

First: “we come upon the villain situation that’s been tickling at Deku’s derriere—”

Fourth: (weakly) “please don’t... call Danger Sense that...”

First: “The muscular villain is in the middle of choking a high schooler to death. Roll to attack?”

Sixth: “I got a twenty.”

Yagi: *also a twenty*

Nana: “Twenty as well.”

Banjou: “Hell yeah, ditto!”

Fourth: “Before I also roll to attack, may I roll to romance the high schooler?”

First: “Roll to...huh?”

Fourth: “That’s not a ‘no’...” *rolls twice and gets twenty on both*

First: “...Deku launches a powerful and coordinated attack against the muscular villain and fucking kills at it.”

Fourth: “...and...the romance?”

First: *sighs* “He also bridal carries the high schooler, I guess.”

—

First: “Roll charisma.”

Banjou: “Twenty”

First: “Deku arrives in time and successfully de-escalates the situation, saving the mutant woman’s life. I...FOURTH NO—“

Fourth: “Roll to romance the woman—“

First: “Our character’s a kid! You can’t romance every NPC we...”

Nana: “Psst, it doesn’t have to be the grandiose kind, First.”

First: “...Okay, fine. He picks up her umbrella and holds it over her head as she cries her worries out. Then he comforts her, then asks his sidekick All Might to evacuate her to safety.”

—

Third: *stubbornly facing the wall* “Roll for... ‘We won’t share our quirks to an optimist’.”

Second: *also facing the wall* “Yeah! We want to withhold our powers until he shows further resolve against facing our greatest enemy.”

First:

First:

First, holding the die: “I would like to roll to romance.”

—

Lady Nagant: *appears*

Fourth, Banjou, Nana: “Roll to ro—“

First: “NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ROMANCE HER”

Second: “Roll to run.”

First: “Thank you, my beloved, you’re the only...oh, you got a low roll, shit. Deku gets hit on the arm and his escape is cut off. En and Third, roll to give him advice.”

En: “I got a one.”

Third: “Also a one.”

First: “Great, great. He discards your advice like wet toilet paper and he also loses most of his inventory”

Putting Midoriya Izuku’s Power Levels and Skill into Perspective (as of BNHA 321)

Izuku’s current most powerful move that causes no harm to himself is combining Blackwhip’s Elasticity + OFA 45% + Fa Jin. When flying at an insanely fast speed, he likely adds Float after the Initial Combo Boost.

Pictured is Izuku using the said move to escape Class 1-A.

So to catch up with him…

Class 1-A has to match his speed moves with arguably the most powerful moves from their other members, namely: Sato, Shouji, Kouda, and Dark Shadow’s raw strengths + Todoroki’s Flash Freeze Heatwave (that Sports Fest attack) + Bakugou’s Explosive Speed Turbo (which is supposed to give the most insane of speed boosts) + Uraraka’s Zero Gravity (to cancel the weight) + Iida’s Engine (guy whose main thing is speed.)

Which means that the well-rested Class 1-A took every last big move in their arsenal to even have a shot at keeping up with Izuku, who on the other hand is running on zero food and rest.

That’s how freaking powerful and fast Midoriya Izuku is, holy heck.

Aoyama and Midoriya

Aoyama being Quirkless before adds layers to his and Izuku’s relationship.

During those chapters when Aoyama was trying to befriend Izuku, it’s possible that he thought that the other had also gotten his Quirk from AFO, and was trying to confirm it by leaving cryptic messages to see how Izuku would react. However, once he’d realized that Izuku seemed to be not getting his hints that they may have the same Quirk benefactor, Aoyama withdrew back into his shell, realizing that he truly was alone in his horrible situation. Left to wallow in the guilt of repeatedly betraying his classmates.

Now, on Izuku’s part. I really love that Izuku noticed Aoyama’s sadness. In that moment of the reveal, I’ve no doubt that Izuku is also thinking of his fight with Gentle Criminal. Izuku would look at Aoyama and see what he could’ve been had he never gotten One for All.

Just as he saw himself in Gentle Criminal, Izuku could’ve been desperate enough for a Quirk just to chase his dreams, and would’ve ended up working for All for One.

Next week’s chapter will be exciting. How shall Izuku comfort Aoyama who faces him with a face that looks like it is asking for help?

I don’t know how, but I need a Kung Fu Panda AU for BNHA where, like how Master Shifu trained Po by using dumplings as incentive, Yagi trains a lanky Izuku by dangling All Might merch above him like a carrot on a stick

AU where All Might “dies” and his body went missing (he’s fine, he’s just missing), and there’s only one person he’s listed as his sole heir. Izuku got dumped with the entire All Might estate

Izuku, grieving: “All Might! Hic— How could you leave me a lifetime’s worth of limited merchandise?!” 😭

There’s a plot twist to this AU but I’m curious if anyone could guess it

[softer-ua]

Dropping in a message to enter the Uraraka discourse: honest to goodness at this point I want to see her be allowed in the “messy emotions” pit with the boys. Katsuki and Izuku go slug it out like it’s nothin’, Iida got to go on a revenge bender, and Tokoyami has a quirk that goes bananas in the darkness or when his emotional state is poor - oh, and the Todoroki family drama and any use of fire pretty much reflects their tumultuous emotions in a way that is both ugly, dramatic, and honest. Or even Kirishima’s “unbreakable” moment.

Other than the sports festival (a shining moment! But even it does not quite reach the same level) Uraraka is never allowed to maintain quite the same dramatic energy and gravitas around her emotions and frustration with them - even with Toga. Even if we don’t drop the crush (...we should drop the crush), Uraraka ACKNOWLEDGING that Katsuki has hidden something and is perhaps closer to Izuku than she is and proceeding to take her feelings - of frustration and helplessness more than actual jealousy but I’ll take what I can get - out on him as a release would make me like her more. Also, specifically against Katsuki, an instance like this wouldn’t be just a simple jealousy fight but a moment where she and Katsuki are actually speaking the same language. They could even go after Izuku together. And if she took that kind of initiative, I might even start to warm up to the ship!

Basically, I wish Uraraka was allowed to be brutal and extreme when the situation calls for it. I wish she was actually allowed to connect with the boys (and other relevant players, though they mostly happen to be boys since this is a shonen) and be on their level - both the bad and the good.

I feel like this is also where she and Toga differ, because Toga, while not necessarily always “playing with the boys” is shown to have these moments, go to these extremes, and have that determination. She’s also treated as relevant/dangerous/outright mistrusted or trusted within the LoV cast as a major player while Uraraka sometimes feels like she’s just kinda there even when she is doing stuff.

You are so gd right it physically hurts

Uraraka is well set up to have beef with Bakugo, like from just thinking he’s kind of a pig headed ass to jealousy even in a non romantic, and if she was allowed to get messy it’d be good for Bakugo too!

He beat her at the sports fest so she may be itching for a rematch, she canonically can’t stand his attitude, and even though she’s kinda fallen to the waysides she is one of Dekus closest friends

She wants to care for and support Deku. Bakugo has been a sorta of road block to that, she’s seen him be a detriment to Dekus well being, and he doesn’t show his support in a way she understands or even seems to value*.

Last she saw of him he was being carried off screaming profanities for not being able to barge into her comatose friends hospital room. We know it’s because he cares, but to everyone else it just looks like he’s pissed at Deku.

Uraraka isn’t dumb, she knows there’s more to the story but she’s a good friend so if you’re not treating her friend right than history and feelings be damned.

And I honestly can’t fault her for that, if I were her I’d also be highly critical of Bakugo. Like get your shit together and treat my friends right or face my wrath. And I think that’ll be good for Bakugo, it’d be a more direct challenge to his emotional growth that he hasn’t gotten yet

Others have hinted at it and prodded him along towards it, but that’s been mostly character and morality growth. He needs some direct emotional grown, which to an extent he has gotten and laid a solid ground work for as he has worked towards it on his own.

But I think he would benefit from a swift kick in the pants to not just say what he feels but what he means. It’d do a world of good if he got that message before his talk with Deku, if Uraraka could call him out and challenged him in a way Bakugo understands so that he gets the message through his thick skull that while 90% of communication is nonverbal the other 10% is pretty god damn mf important.

No one is going to understand you fully if they have to play gd charades meets clue all the gd time. Language wouldn’t be as intricate and multifaceted as it is if our words didn’t matter, and saying the wrong thing gets you a lot farther than saying nothing.

So yeah Uraraka needs to beat Bakugo’s feelings out of him and some people skills into him. Plus it’s probably her only real chance to get messy with her feels because it keeps her on the semi moral high ground that her character is supposed to have

And oh my god the set up for her Toga 🤯

We’ve seen a lot of great shit from Togas end, but Uraraka is set up to be the one to take her down and has been since her internship

The number 1 thing she learned from GunHead was how to take down someone with a knife

And that is Togas mf modus operandi

And Uraraka immediately put that knowledge to use and almost decommissioned Toga at camp

Interestingly enough Urarakas crush is proved for the second time to be detrimental to her

While she’s been trying to distance her feelings for Deku since the sports festival, Aoyama also just recently caught her off guard by calling her crush out during the exams.

And now they let a villain get away with her blood.

Her feelings for Deku have not only been pretty much unrequited, and detrimental to her character growth, they’ve also been a risk to her actual safety and what called Togas attention to her in the first place

Taking on Toga and her crush and bringing both down would be dope af. I think the best path for her to take would be to milly rock Bakugo than team up with him, and Todoroki

Bakugo who’s going after Deku, Todoroki who’s after Dabi, and her going after Toga, and I think Iida going for round 2 against Stain would be pretty dope

And then maybe some of the rest of the class for support

I’m so excited to be a part of this collab!! Please be sure check out everyone else’s amazing writings for more!!!

“I really don’t get why we had to go here.” Bakugo mutters to Mr. Aizawa who just glances at him.

“Come onnnn Bakugo!! This normally costs a lot of money to see, and we get it for free! And good seats, too!” Mina says, leaning towards her explosive blonde friend.

“Whatever.” He grumbles, folding his arms tighter and looking at the trees moving by outside the bus.

“So, Todoroki, this is thanks to you, right?” Uraraka says, excitedly brushing the wrinkles out of her nice dress.

“Yes.” He says quietly, fidgeting with his hands nervously. “I- well, I haven’t seen my sister in a few years. I’m nervous to see her.”

“Thank you for opening up to us.” Todoroki’s green haired friend Izuku says comfortingly, patting his shoulder.

Todoroki nods.

He normally doesn’t speak freely, Izuku thinks to himself, his sister must be really important to him.

“I look forward to meeting her.” Iida says curtly, making Izuku and Todoroki smile.

“I do too!” Says Uraraka.

Izuku nods, looking down at his hands. “I’ve never been to a ballet before.”

“It’s interesting to watch.” Todoroki says. “I used to go to her rehearsals every week to watch. Since the last time I’ve seen her, I can only assume she’s gotten better. She’s got one of the most important parts, the Sugar Plum Fairy. I’m looking forward to seeing her perform.”

“I can’t wait to see her then.” Izuku grins, nudging his friend.

“Me either.” Says Uraraka. She was overjoyed to go somewhere so fancy.

<><><>

“I’m really nervous, Dax.” I sigh, checking the tight bun on my head.

“Why? It’s not like you’ve only done this once.” He shakes his head. “As your Cavalier, I can promise you that you’re talented.”

“Thanks, D.” I smile, giving myself a once over before I have to go on.

My pale baby pink costume fits perfectly on me, the intricate designs on the tutu making me stare for a second, entranced.

“My brother will be here,” I look down at my makeup on the table.

“Oh yeah, you ran away, didn’t you?” Dax says, moving towards me to adjust my headpiece.

“Yeah, long story.” I laugh. “Basically, my twin brother went to UA- and”

“UA?!” Dax gasps.

I nod and laugh. “Yeah, you do know who our father is. Anyway, I didn’t want to go, so I ran to America. Got a place and joined a school of dance here, then, well, you know the rest.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you got cast in this. I hope tonight isn’t too bad.” Dax gently hugs me, making sure to not crush my tutu or me.

“Me too. I invited his whole class and teachers so it wouldn’t be awkward or anything.” I shrug, shaking off the bad feelings. My performance has to be perfect, like always.

<><><>

“I wonder when she’ll show up.” Uraraka whispers, leaning over Deku to speak to Todoroki.

“It should be soon.” He says quietly, fiddling with his hands.

Izuku blinks and looks at the stage curiously. His eyes wander to his classmates as the set changes. Everyone is being attentive audience members, even Aizawa and All Might seem to be intrigued by the show.

Familiar music begins, pulling the green haired boy’s focus back to the beautiful stage in front of them. They got amazing seats thanks to Todoroki’s sister, and he was grateful he could see it all up close.

A girl comes onstage, moving upstage center and getting in a ballet position (poor Izuku has no idea what they’re called, only that they’re graceful looking).

She stands, hands down, head high, shoulders back, back straight, and a beautiful smile across her face.

This must be her, Izuku thinks, she has pale red hair, almost pink but not quite, and sparkling blue eyes, just like one of his friend’s eyes.

Izuku looks excitedly to Todoroki, then back to the girl onstage.

She gets en pointe, and the familiar Tchaikovsky song plays, the dance of the sugar plum fairy. Everyone recognized it, and the audience seems to buzz with excitement.

Izuku’s eyes sparkle as he watches the girl do a pas de bourree. “She’s amazing.” He whispers to himself.

She gracefully chassés, does an entrechat, and an arabesque.

When the song’s end comes near and the tempo speeds up, she begins to pirouette, spotting her vision on an unknown object.

She ends her routine, and everyone claps like mad. Izuku being one of them. The whole class for that matter. His green eyes dance from classmate to classmate, and even Bakugo stood and applauded, a small smile on his face.

She curtseyed, catching her brother’s eyes in the crowd, her smile never faltering. Her eyes shifted to meet green ones, but their gaze broke.

“That was amazing.” Iida says.

<><><>

After it was over, a man dressed in all black comes out, ushering Class 1A and the pro heroes backstage. “Watch your step,” he mumbled.

“Hey, Sho.” I say quietly as my brother enters my dressing room.

“Y/n.” He breathes quietly.

“It’s good to see you again.”

“Yeah, you too. Hey, you did great out there.”

“Thanks. I saw you on TV. The sports fest thing, I’m proud of you.”

He smiles, embarrassed by the compliment. “Thanks.” He scratches his neck. “I wish you were there, though. I know they’d let you in.”

“I was never worried about getting in. I don’t want to have anything to do with Dad. And he picked you to be the big hero, right? He’s a sexist dick, of course he’d pick his son.” I ramble a bit.

“I agree. He and I are not on good terms right now. I do have his card, though. I can give you the number.”

I look down at my hands, then in the mirror. I look at Shoto, then back to me. For being his twin sister, we don’t look much alike. I look like what he’d look like if you just blended all the colors.

Wait, at the door, underneath, I see shadows.

“Who’s outside the door?” I whisper.

He shrugs, so I walk to it. I quickly open it to see a green haired boy holding his hand up to knock.

“Uh, h-hi,” he says nervously.

“Hello.” I smile at him. “I saw you sitting next to Sho. Come in.” I open the door and he enters, smiling at my brother.

“Hi.” My brother says. “Y/n, this is Midoriya. My friend from school.”

“Nice to meet you.” I smile and shake his hand. I notice it has a bunch of scars on it.

——

Her hands are so delicate and fragile, Izuku thinks, staring at the gentle hand in his. “Nice to meet you too.” His eyes look up and meet hers.

——

“Thanks for coming tonight. I’m so excited to meet the famous class 1A. Hey, I think I saw you on tv at the sports fest. You went up against my brother, didn’t you?” I smile.

His eyes go wide. “I-uh, yeah, sorry,”

“What’re you apologizing for?” I smile at him reassuringly.

“I-uh, don’t know, I just kinda fought your brother...”

“It’s no hard feelings, it was just a game.” Shoto chuckles at his friend. He knows he’s intimidated or maybe starstruck by his sister. He expected it. In fact, he expects it from most of his classmates, both male and female ones.

He ended up being right. What he couldn’t predict though, was his sister being equally as starstruck, especially by Izuku of all people.

This one’s special, I think to myself as I smile at Midoriya.

“Hey Sho, go find your class and I’ll show them to the stage, ok?” I say, stepping closer to Midoriya.

Shoto looks at me for a second then nods, leaving my dressing room.

“So, Midoriya,” I smile at him. “What’s your quirk?” This turns him into a stuttering mess, which I find really cute. “Hey it’s okay, I think I understand what it is.”

“Thanks.” He sighs. “What’s yours?” He asks me excitedly.

“The same as Shoto’s.”

“Really? I’m surprised you’re not at UA...”

“Yeah, I kicked and screamed, and I actually got in, but I ran away. Joined a ballet school, and here I am, back in Japan, on tour.” I laugh a little, catching his gaze.

“You don’t want to be a hero?” He asks, confused.

“Yeah, not my thing. It was always Shoto’s thing. Like of course my family would like it, but it’s just not for me. I’m not cut out to be one.” I shrug. “Dance is what I was made for, I know it.”

She’s as passionate about dance as I am about becoming a hero, Izuku thinks while the redhead rambles passionately. He smiles at her. “That’s amazing. You should teach me how to dance, I’m awfully clumsy.” Izuku blushes.

My eyes light up. “That’d be amazing, Midoriya! I’d love to teach you how to dance!”

Deku grins, and as he was about to speak, the door opens. Todoroki, Mr. Aizawa, All Might, and the rest of the class were at the door.

My eyes light up as I quickly stand. “Hello! You must be class 1A!”

The backstage tour went smoothly, with a pink girl named Mina asking a bunch of dance related questions, discussing Tchaikovsky with Momo, and even convincing boys named Kirishima and Kaminari that ballet was manly, and how American Football players take ballet to learn precision and body control.

Aizawa dissuaded my schedule and diet with me, and All Might (I almost fainted when I met him, not gonna lie) discreetly whispered that he took ballet too, which made me smile. He also commented on my impressive skill which just about made me pass out.

“Okay, it’s about time to leave.” Aizawa says to his class.

“Will you come home for dinner this weekend?” Shoto asks me shyly.

I nod my head enthusiastically. “Yeah, I’m actually staying with Natsuo tonight.”

“Oh okay,” he nods, “I think you should come by the dorms. See if you want to go to UA. I’d love to have you there with me.” He says even quieter than before, both out of shyness and nerves.

“I’ll think about it.” I say, pulling him into a hug.

<><><>

“Thanks for the ride, Natsuo!” I smile at my big brother, who mutters a no problem before driving away.

I take a deep breath and look up at the intimidating school.

“OUCH.” A voice exclaims from beside me, making me jump. I look up to glare at the person, but meet familiar eyes.

“Oh, Midoriya!” I smile at the green haired boy.

“Y/n! You’re here? Hello! Oh my gosh I wasn’t expecting you, I’m so sorry I ran into you,” he rambles.

“No no, it’s okay!” I smile, putting my hand on his shoulder. “I’m touring today, I’m glad I ran into you, I was totally lost.”

“O-oh, okay! Come with me, I’ll take you to class.”

We walk into the big building and walk down the tall hallways. Once we enter the classrooms there’s a chorus of voices saying hello to me.

I blush from the sudden attention.

“This girl can get applauded by thousands and not lose her cool but getting greeted by a stupid class and she’s a tomato.” Kirishima teases, giving me a side hug.

I roll my eyes and smile, saying hello.

“Welcome to class 1A!” Mina exclaims.

“Thank you! I’m glad I’m able to visit.” I smile.

“Okay, we’re going to work on hand to hand combat today,” Mr Aizawa says, walking into the room. I instantly recognize his voice and smile at him. “Get dressed in your gym clothes. And someone give Todoroki a spare.

“I have mine, sir.” Shoto says, raising his hand.

“I wasn’t talking about you.” Mr. Aizawa says, glancing at me before leaving the room.

“Oh yeaaah She Shoto is gonna be doing class stuff today!” Kaminari shouts, slapping me on my back, making me stumble and laugh.

<><><>

Once we get to the gym, I’m clad in the UA Gym clothes. Not the most flattering, but hey, they’re gym clothes on a ballerina.

First I get paired up with Shoto, just because we’re familiar with each other. Fighting Sho is always fun. Being a child raised with him, we were forced to fight each other all the time, so everything now is so familiar. It’s less pressure now, just two siblings with about the same level of skill fighting it out.

Next, I’m paired up with Bakugo, who was quite a challenge, especially due to the fact that I’m not a fighter (He took it easy on me though).

Next was Midoriya, who I was very excited to fight. As soon as I switched partners to go against him, the bell rang, making me sigh in disappointment.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

“I wanted to spend time with you.” I shrug.

“Well I mean, we still can.” He suggests, bumping my shoulder. “Let’s go get some sushi?”

“Sounds good to me.” I grin.

We change and leave the school, waving bye to the new people I met. The walk was nice; Midoriya and I discussed All Might mostly. He’s a fanboy, but it’s pretty cute. We order sushi, and discuss family, music, and hero training. After eating, I realize the time, and he walks me home.

Izuku takes a breath, takes my hands in his, and asks, “So, do you think you’ll come to UA?”

“No, I couldn’t be a hero. But general studies, maybe.” I admit.

His face lights up. “Really?”

I nod. “I may or may not have spoken to Principal Nezu about teaching a dance class. I also may or may not have also gotten that girl named Mina to help me.”

“No way.” He grins, squeezing my hands.

“Yes way. After my Nutcracker tour is over, I’ll come back here.”

“Promise?” He asks, squinting his eyes jokingly, smiling gently.

“Promise.” I say, leaning forward and kissing his cheek. “Good night, Midoriya.”

“Good night, Todoroki.” He whispers, cheeks red from both the cold and the kiss.

Four months later, Izuku, Shoto, Bakugo, Kirishima, Uraraka, Tsu, and Iida were running in the building from the gym.

“We’re late, hurry up!” Uraraka shouts.

“We’re going as fast as we can, ribbit.” Tsu says, picking up her speed.

Soon, the seven of them burst into the mirrored room, panting.

“We apologize for our tardiness.” Iida says.

“Sorry we’re late.” Says Kirishima.

“It’s okay! It was only a couple minutes. Now, put your jazz shoes on.” I say, stretching on the ground.

Once everyone is warmed up and loose,I teach them how to chassé (per request of Tsu), and they repeat it across the floor.

Once class is over and everyone is gone, Izuku walks up to me.

“Hi.” I say, looking up at my green themed hero boyfriend.

“Hello.” He says, quickly but gently kissing me before pulling back and looking into my eyes, resting my forehead against his.

“Something on your mind?” I raise my eyebrows.

“Hmm, nothing,” he says, hugging me, “I’m just so glad your here, Sugar Plum.”

Weekend (Chapter 4)

.To anyone who has any requests, you can send them to me through my ask box, but I’m only limited to 2 animes so far... I’m starting to get into Haikyu and I’m going to try and watch HunterxHunter. Also I made the reader’s favorite hero, Hawks, soooooo... yeah

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Its the first weekend with you in your dorm. You had a good sleep and you want it to be a relaxing day. Once you started to wake up, you hear a knock on the door. “Y/N~ are you awake?” You hear Mina outside the door, sounding energetic. You stretch and open the door, slightly. “Mina, why are you knocking so early?” Mina smiles and opens the door all the way. “Well, it’s time for breakfast. I just didn’t want you to miss it.” You groan and you were a mess since you just woke up. “I’ll be right there. Let me just grab a sweatshirt and slippers.” You grab a pullover sweatshirt and put on your slippers, then you meet Mina outside your door. “Hey girl! Let’s go, I’m starving.” She grabs your wrist and starts to pull you towards the cafe.

Once the both of you made it, you just grab a bottle of water. You don’t really eat breakfast, because of the feat of throwing up. Water is mostly your breakfast. You aren’t really in the right mindset, especially since you zone out when you are tired. You take a swig of water and go on your phone. The first zone out episode begins. “Hey Y/N.” You snap out of it and look around. “Oh, hey Deku.” You smile and rub your eyes. “Why didn’t you get anything to eat?” Oh great, one of those questions. “I have a fear of throwing up in the morning. I’m not that hungry.” In reality, you were starving. “Oh, alright. Let me know if you need anything.” He walks away. When you look back on your phone, someone walked past and gave you a package of crackers. “At least put something in your stomach, dumbass.” You look up and see Bakugo. “Thanks, I guess.” You open the package and take tiny bites. He walks away to go sit with Kirishima and Denki. “It seems like Bakugo does have a soft spot after all.”

All of the girls go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. You decide to go ask Mr. Aizawa to go to the school pool to swim. You just want to swim a few laps. “Y/N, where are you going?” Tsu asked. “I’m gonna ask Mr. Aizawa if I can go swimming at the pool. Wanna come with?” You didn’t want to be alone at the pool, since you will most likely be the only one there. “Yeah sure! That sounds like fun.” The both of you go to Mr. Aizawa. “Hey Mr. Aizawa.” He looks at you with his normal red eyes. “What?” It sounds like he just woke up. “Can Asui and I go to the pool to swim a few laps?” Aizawa sighs. “Sure, but only for 2 and a half hours.” The both of you bow down and say ‘thank you.’

After the both of you put on the suits the school gave you, the both of you head to the pool with your towels. It was a pretty warm day, so going to the pool with your towels. It was a pretty warm day, so going to the pool was perfect. The pool was shining in the sunlight. “It looks so refreshing, doesn’t it?” Tsuyu asked. “It sure does. Time to swim!” You run to the edge and jump in. When you reach the surface, you smooth your hair back and take a deep breath in. “That feels amazing! Tsu get in here!” You laugh out loud. “Ribbit.” She hops on over and jumps in. When she comes up, a huge smile is on her face. “Ribbit.” You both go into separate lanes and swim back and forth a couple times. After a couple rounds, you stop and sit at the edge of the pool, spending some quality time together. “So, Y/N, who is your favorite pro hero?” Tsu asked. “That is a good question. If I do have to pick a favorite, it will probably pick Hawks. It’s so cool how he can control his feathers. Also his personality is great.” Tsu nods in amazement. “Yeah he is pretty cool. I guess my favorite is Selkie, since he is a captain and he is also around water. I had my internship with him and it was pretty neat.” You widen your eyes. “That is so cool! I wonder what I would do if I met a pro hero.” You look up at the sky and smile at the thought of meeting your favorite hero. “Hey, do you want to go to the city and maybe grab a bite?” Tsu nods and you both go back to freshen up.

“Where do you want to eat?” You ask. “Hmmm, well I’ve heard of this noodle shop that is pretty good. We should go there.” Now you were craving noodles. “You know, it’s really nice to know more about you.” You give her a bright smile. “I am too. It looks like this is the spot.” You look at the sign and walk in. “Hello welcome. You can sit wherever you want.” The both of you bow and say thank you to the waiter. You sit down and Tsuyu sits across from you. You get your food and talk about school. While you were eating, you hear a very familiar voice. “I’ll take some chicken to go. Oh, and add some noodles in there too.” You look up and see Hawks. You freak out, but try not to show it. “Tsu, look over there.” She looks over to where you are pointing. “Oh my gosh.” You start staring at him. Hawks looks down at you and smirks. “Hey, kid.” You look away and blush. “Wait, I saw you two at the sports fest. I gotta say, you have some quirk on you.” You don’t know what to say. The number 2 hero just complimented  your quirk. “Thanks.” You just want to hide. “Hey, your the frog girl. Your quirk is really cool too. This sports fest was pretty eventful.” Your hair turns pink. “Aww, come one, kid. You don’t have to be shy around me.” You don’t say anything. Tsuyu looks at him. “Well we were talking about our favorite pros and she said that you’re her favorite.” He raises his eyebrows. “Well that’s nice to hear. By the way, do you know my bird bro, Tokoyami?” He asks. “Yeah, he’s in our class.” You say. “Nice.” A person comes out with his food and gives it to him.

“The number 2 hero has to eat now. I hope to see you some other time.” He starts to walk off, but you stop him. “Wait a minute Hawks.” You say, causing him to turn around. “Yeah?” You get shy again. “Sorry to be a bother, but can we take a pic?” He smiles and walks back to you. “Sure why not?” You pick up your phone and hold it out. “Say cheese.” He said. All three of you smile, well Hawks smirks. You take the picture and bring the phone down. “Thank you.” The two of you say in unison. “No problem. Well I gotta eat this chicken. See you two later maybe.” You wave good bye and show Tsu the picture. “That was so cool. I can’t wait to show the others.” You bring your phone down and ask Tsu a question. “Hey, how does Hawks know about Tokoyami?” You go back to eating your noodles. “Some of us had work studies with pros. Tokoyami had his with Hawks.” You widen your eyes. “That is so cool!” After a while, you pay for the food and head back to the dorms.

“That was a good meal. Thank you for coming Tsu.” You open the door. “No problem. I hope we can do that another time. Maybe we can invite the other girls too.” You nod at the idea. The two of you soon head over to the living quarters. You sit on the couch and you are just looking at the picture with Hawks and Tsu. “Hey Y/N.” You jump out of your seat, only to see Iida. “Iida, stop scaring me like that.” He bows down and apologizes. “I’m sorry. That is not very class rep of me. I just came to ask where you and Tsu have been.” You look at Tsu, then back at Iida. “We were just in the city. We wanted to grab a bite at this noodle joint.” Iida bows down again. “Thank you. We wanted to make sure that you two were safe. Good day to you.” He marches away. “Class reps, am I right?” You giggle and sit back down.

For the rest of the day, it was a chill evening. You were basically still in awe over the fact that you met the number 2 hero. Other than that, you were talking with some of your friends. “Hey, Tokoyami, I didn’t know you were working with Hawks.” He looks at you and nods his head. “Yeah, it was for my work study. I gotta say, it was a very interesting experience. Why do you want to know about it?” You pull up the picture and show him. “Well, I saw him with Tsu and he asked about you.” You put your phone down. “Yeah, well, he does have a bit of a cocky side to him. That’s why I said it was an interesting experience.” Tokoyami keeps on talking about his work study with Hawks, and you keep asking questions. Surprisingly, he didn’t have a problem with answering questions. Soon enough, it was time for dinner. All of you head to the cafe and get your meals. You go sit at your usual seat with Iida, Uraraka, Deku, Todoroki, and Tsu. You really didn’t eat a lot because you weren’t that hungry. Those noodles really filled you up. Tsu also didn’t eat a lot. She was pretty full too. “So, how was your day today?” Uraraka asks. “It was pretty eventful. Tsu and I went to the pool to swim a few laps.” You smile and Tsu continues the story. “We then went to the city to a noodle joint. While we were there, Hawks came in.” They all gasp, except for Todoroki, because he was too busy eating his Soba noodles. “Yeah, and let’s just say that I sort of... got shy. So shy in fact, that my hair turned pink.”  They all look at you in amazement. It got quiet, so you look at Todoroki. “So, Todoroki, how are those noodles?” He looks at you with his mouth full. He swallows. “They’re pretty good. Uhh, would you like some?” You smile and shake your head, saying no.

After dinner, everyone either goes to their rooms, or they hang out in the lounge area. You decided to go to the lounge area to hang out with some of the girls. Kirishima, Denki, and Mineta was also there. Everyone was just talking about the weekend and what they did. You didn’t know what to say, so you just stood there on your phone. Before you knew it, you started to dose off on the couch and fell asleep with your arms, supporting your head. Kirishima sees you passed out on the couch. “Hey, Y/n, wake up.” He shakes you a little, causing you to wake up. You hum in response and rub your eyes. “It seems like you had an eventful day today. You should go to your dorm and sleep.” You nod your head at him and stand up. “I guess I should go to sleep. I do feel pretty tired.” You stretch your arms and head to your dorm, after saying goodbye to all of your friends. You open the door, snuggle up under the covers, and fall asleep. ‘What a great day.’

Heyyyyy, so about that doc with the AU ideas.... (Please feed me I yearn for content)

im obsessed with the idea of monoma and aizawa being related to afo lol. you only see like 3 quirks in the whole series that are based on other quirks - what i would call ‘meta quirks,’ that would only have any function in a world of quirked people. so ofc these 3 quirks have to be related:

afo decided to have a bunch of kids, to see if he could make noumus out of them which retained their brains after being given a bunch of quirks. he impregnated a bunch of women lol, but he kept tabs on them. as soon as the kids turned 4 and presented their quirk, they would be kidnapped by the doctor and brought into the lab. most of the kids had quirks based on quirks (seeing quirks, stealing quirks, copying quirks, erasing quirks…) and are various ages. aizawa, monoma and midoriya were some of them, but aizawa got saved by his badass mother when he was still a kid, so he was already gone by the time midoriya and monoma came around. the two of them manage to escape while afo is still recovering from his fight with all might, and since monoma’s mother was killed by afo, he goes to live with midoriya and his mother. they go off the grid and run away from afo. in this au midoriya is quirkless, up until he meets all might and it goes as usual. umm could be from monoma’s pov, and include monoshin because that’s cute. basically after the sports festival, afo finds monoma again and in the summer camp they kidnap him instead of bakugou. (the reason why aizawa was never caught or taken back by afo is because he won the whole sports fest and became too famous/well protected to be easily stolen back - since monoma didn’t make the fight rounds, he’s a perfect target. afo only knew the kids by their quirks, he never actually met them, so he doesn’t realise that midoriya is one of his kids as well because mido has a quirk now.) anyway so after they kidnap monoma back, he and midoriya spill the beans to the ua faculty, aizawa has a midlife crisis over the fact that he now has younger siblings, and afo continues to be a dick who doesn’t pay child support.

just some sweets stuff as well:

Christmas cake: Japanese slang for an unmarried woman over 25 who is considered undesirable as a wife, in the same way that Christmas cakes are considered useless after Christmas Day.

Good thing for Jirou, she never cared much about being ‘desirable’ to the opposite sex anyway.

-> a momojirou story about jirou’s 26th birthday and momo reassuring her that she is the best gf ever, and that she loves her very much. pro hero gfs <3

*

like. the trope of aizawa adopting shinsou? well what about instead… hawks adopting tokoyami?? maybe he comes from a super religious family and they tried to exorcise the ‘demon’ from him, protective services put him in the foster system, and he ends up with really shitty foster families, and his quirk is considered ‘dangerous.’ but then our boy hawks swoops in and goes ‘u know what? i’m not letting my intern get disrespected like this’ and adopts him. obviously hawks is still young himself (22 i think), so he’s not very good at the whole parenting thing, but miruko helps him out. he becomes an older brother figure for tokoyami. gen found family fluff ensues

HAIKYUU AU - no quirks. just volleyball

so the ua boys volleyball team is on the rocks. its been pretty much non-existent and turned to dust at this point. but, it once own the nationals.

izuku’s mum runs this second hand / antique / trinket store, and izuku helps out sometimes. one day, he finds some old sports tapes in the back and watches them - they’re of the year when ua was at nationals, and their striker, yagi toshinori, inspires izuku to play volleyball.

bakugo is on the school team and he threatens / bullies izuku not to join, so izuku has to train on his own. he learns shitty technique, but he ends up building some muscle by clearing out the beach.

izuku gets into ua, and when he goes to apply for the volleyball team, ofc bakugo picks a fight. the other first-years who join the team are todoroki, kaminari, shinsou, kirishima, and iida. there aren’t any second years - they all got expelled - but mirio and tamaki are on the team as third years, and nejirou is the team manager. their teacher sponsor is a new teacher this year, and it’s left ambiguous. there’s the whole ‘get over ur differences if u want to join’ thing, and then woohoo! team!

turns out their teacher sponsor is aizawa. he drags in the now-retired-due-to-injury yagi toshinori to be the coach. when aizawa went to ua, the volleyball team was too small to go to any tournaments - he’s determined to turn it around and let these kids live their dreams.

some ‘canon? what’s that?’ ideas:

just a really wholesome story about inko and mitsuki being besties. met in middle school or something, supported each other through everything… just gals being the best of pals...

or i mean u could make it gay, that’s always an option (and have izuku and katsuki grow up as actual bros, and actually be friendly to one another? what a shocker) - like, the two of them get sperm donors and are pregnant at the same time so the kids can be twins or something. and ofc you’d expect katsuki to be closest to mitsuki and for inko to be closest to izuku, but then to make it a TWIST add some great bonding between inko + katsuki and mitsuki + izuku!! i’ve never really seen any mitsuki + izuku bonding in stories before, so that’d be pretty cool

izuku gets hit by a villain’s quirk during a big villain attack when he’s 7, turning him part-cat. the villain dies during the attack, so they can’t erase his quirk’s effects - they’d have to surgically remove the ears and tail, or get an expensive quirk specialist in. izuku decides he likes being a nekomimi, so he keeps them and gets being part-cat officially registered as his quirk. he has better senses and agility, and he can talk to cats now i guess. also his eyes are cat eyes. he doesn’t pass the ua exam, so he goes into the general department instead, but he does really well in the sports festival and gets transferred into the hero course with shinsou. (this is all just because i need a valid excuse to make izuku have cat ears.)

some ‘future au’ ideas:

all of the pro heroes merch lines - deku’s ’t-shirt’ shirts, tokoyami’s edgy emo/goth hoodies, iida’s ingenium trainers, bakugou’s popping candy chocolate, todoroki’s own brand of scar cream, HAGAKURE’S CAMO COLLECTION OMG the possibilities are endless  

---i made hagakure’s camo for her bday drawing

(i use a strikethrough so i know which ideas i’ve used or posted anywhere. i think that once i put an idea on the internet, it’s probably free reign, so if you want to use any of these for fics or art go ahead. i’d just appreciate it is you could link back to me haha)

5 years after graduating from the General Studies department of UA, Hitoshi opened his own agency. As a private detective.

By the time he’s 25, he’s settled in and relatively comfortable with his career choice. So when his work phone rings one day and he’s still half-asleep he easily opens with, “Shinsou Detective Agency. Before you ask, I do not investigate cheating spouses or missing dogs and I do not screen potential employees for companies.” He paused. “I’ll investigate missing cats, though.”

The person on the other end took a harsh breath, like an almost-laugh, and responded gruffly, “Hm. Good to know if Jelly ever gets lost.”

-> aka shinsou is a PI and aizawa contacts him for help on a case. aizawa never sought out shinsou after the sports festival, being too busy with 1-a’s insane antics, and so shinsou went on to never become a hero. maybe he’s also a vigilante on the side? idk. anyway so yeah aizawa gives him temporary permission to use his quirk during the case. they investigate, blah blah, the point is that afterwards aizawa gets shinsou a licence and takes him on as a sidekick (the same way ingenium offered to koichi in vigilantes)

i have new ideas on the daily. this doc is just growing

keep in mind, i have given to you here only a few of the shortest ones. there are several huge paragraphs of full-au ideas (like where izuku has a quirk, and the entire story follows canon)

these are, ostensibly, ideas for fics that i never write because i’m lazy. but some of them i do end up using for art or comics, so... yeah. most of the comics i’ve posted were originally just little scripts in this doc. an example:

yamada and reformed!shirakumo are walking together, with coffees

shirakumo: so then i - oh, your phone’s wringing

(yamada’s ringtone is the nyancat song, and the contact name is ‘daddy’)

shirakumo: haha, you still call ur dad ‘daddy’? i thought you got over that in high school (taking a sip on the coffee)

yamada: (answering the phone, keeping eye contact with shirakumo) hey, shouta, what’s up?

shirakumo: (spits out coffee)

—- made this a comic on tumblr

damn this post is longer than i expected

whelp, i hope you liked it

BNHA Rewatch: Season 1 Episode 4 “Start Line”

mysterylover123

This episode is excruciating.

I don’t meant that in a bad way. I mean, it gets you into Izuku’s pain so well, that it’s hard to watch. I mean, of course, I knew that he’d get into UA. But watching him waiting, convinced he’s failed…I know that feeling, all too well.

But anyone, proper order! Deku’s at the test site and tries to say hi to Uraraka. But Iida interrupts him! (why is everyone so mean to my boy?)

I do like the little touch of Mic pointing out that real villains won’t wait for them to be ready. Which is true. Poor Deku hesitating all over the place, though - he’s very flawed at this point in the story. All heroism and no super.

Haha at Aoyama being like “doubt we’ll meet again”. Give it a few months, Aoyama, and you’ll be begging to be part of this guy’s harem. (not entirely kidding. Seriously. Manga chapter 168.)

There’s You Say Run again! I think I’ll make a counter for YSR, in full, every time it comes up. Haha, Deku saving Uraraka and being like “This is just like when I tried to save Kacchan!” Yep, exactly the same sitch. Giant sludge villain=school funded robot, right?

The way they introduced OFA is kind of goofy  for such a big, scary quirk. “clenching your butt” sounds so dumb. All Might and Deku both have a bunch of battle cries for how they use OFA, my personal favorite is ‘shoot style’, Deku’s move.

I love how realistic the consequences of using OFA are. This is another maker moment of BNHA  for me, which showcased how the series would have realistic consequences, and people would earn their victories. Deku can’t just magically land, and he gets in through rescue points, not a loophole. It all fits!

Uraraka cancels out any damsel vibes she might have had from being saved by saving Deku in return. This series is surprisingly great at letting its ladies kick ass.

I love Iida coming around to Deku so quickly. He broods about this at night. His inability to read the test’s hidden requirements and save Uraraka like Deku did. It torments him.

BTW, it’s too bad they didn’t wait until 2017, because then they could have added Kirishima in the background.

This is what one might call a ‘panty melting smirk’ there. Day-um.

Deku proceeds to perfectly capture the agony of waiting for test results. This whole sequences is agonizing and painfully real. Again, I know the result, but the presentation is what gets me every time. 

And Deku gets into UA! Uraraka calling him “that plain kid” always irritates me a bit, though. Like, his actual official love interest calls him plain. Is nobody in the series ever gonna notice how pretty Deku is? 

This little three episode run from ep 3 to ep 5 is kinda slow for me, actually; it’s all putting the pieces in place, and a lot of setup, so it’s harder for me to get excited about it. Still, though, plenty to love. 

’BKDK Corner

They don’t talk this ep, but there’s still stuff. Mainly 1) how they’re foils. Deku gets in with 0 villain points, Kacchan with 0 rescue points. Deku hesitates and is freaked at the thought of combat; Kacchan jumps right in. (What a great contrast to Provisional License Exam Arc era Deku, though!).

Also, Deku compares saving Uraraka to saving Kacchan. There’s a weird parallelism between their two dynamics that feels like it’s deliberate. I don’t know what it’s leading up to, but I’ll note it every time.

Also, Deku thinks long and hard about how he can’t possibly tell his mom about OFA, but he told Kacchan first chance he got.

Title: What We Lack Part 12 Pairing:  Kacchako, Deku/Melissa, Todomomo Rating: T Word Count: 4,429 Read on Ao3 Summary:  

Quirkless.

They’re the last people anyone expects to have a child without a quirk.

Neither of them can fully wrap their heads around it, but Ochako knows Katsuki is struggling far more than her.

Full fic under the cut

Adjusting his tie in the mirror, Yuuta glanced over how the U.A. suit fit him. It was clean and fresh, ironed out by his mother. She told him he should keep it looking nice if possible, but he wasn’t sure if he would actually remember to do that. With how much work and training they would have to do, ironing out his suit was a low priority, but for now, he was pleased with how it looked.

He’d seen pictures of his parents in their uniforms plenty of times, but for some reason he felt dorky wearing his. He definitely didn’t look as classy as his mother or father.

First day of school, and he was excited to see who his teacher would be. He also wondered what class would be like; would they be active, or spend most of their time in the classroom? He glanced down at his phone, three messages blinking across the screen.

[Text from: Mom]: Good luck today, Yuuta!

[Text from: Dad]: You're going to do amazing. We're so proud.

He couldn't help but smile at the two texts from his parents. He sent loving texts back, and he hoped Arata did the same. He didn't understand why Arata had been so intense lately, but he couldn't keep trying to figure it out, not when he had school to worry about.

There was a knock on the door and Yuuta jumped. "J-Just a second!" He grabbed his bag and tucked his phone into his pocket, immediately running to go open it.

Shouhei was leaning against the wall, tapping at his phone. "You ready?" he smirked, looking at Yuuta. He couldn't help but blush, partially because he knew Shouhei was looking at him, but also because Shouhei himself looked far better in the suit than Yuuta did!

"Mhm!" he nodded, smiling at his boyfriend. He glanced down at Shouhei's hands; were they supposed to hold hands when they walked to class together? Were they even really officially together? Maybe he should ask?

"Yuu..." Shouhei said, nudging his side. "What are you freaking out about?"

"F-Freaking out!?" Yuuta said, blinking. "I-I'm not!"

"You are! Dumbass, I know what you do when you freak out; you get all nervous and jumpy!" Shouhei teased.

He sighed. "It's just... first day of school jitters!"

"Okay, okay," Shouhei snorted, buying the excuse. "You have nothing to be worried about. You're strong as hell, and we're both in the same class, so who cares! It's gonna be great."

"Who do you think our teacher is going to be?" he asked, the two of them making their way down the stairs and out of the door.

"I heard my Dad grumbling about it," Shouhei said, "so I wonder if it's going to be someone we know."

"Grumbling?" Yuuta asked, opening the door to follow Shouhei outside. "In a bad way?"

"I mean my Dad is always grumbling in a bad way," Shouhei snorted.

The two of them continued to make guesses as they walked to school. Yuuta prayed everything would go alright for the first day. Shouhei was right; they, at the very least, had each other, so even if everyone else was weird, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"A-Are you really not nervous, Shou?" Yuuta asked, staring at the front entrance to the large school.

"Nope! Why would I be?" Shouhei chuckled. "It's just school, Yuu. It's gonna be like middle school."

"I-I dunno," he shrugged. "A lot of people worked hard to get into this school," he said, scuffing his feet against the ground.

"Yeah? And so did you?"

"But we also have... our names behind us. I mean our dads are in the top 3 all the time, and our moms easily make the top 10... Won't people think we got in because of them?"

Shouhei frowned, leaning towards Yuuta. "To hell with 'em!" he said, waving his hand back and forth. "Who the hell cares what they think? The second we start training they're going to realize how serious we are and it has nothing to do with our names! Just because you're Todoroki Yuuta... that means nothing. You're you and you're strong."

Blushing, Yuuta took Shouhei's hand. "Thanks Shou. I wish I was a confident as you."

"Growing up around stubborn parents, you kinda just become confident," he chuckled, squeezing his hand.

"Fair," Yuuta said. He could imagine being around Katsuki all the time wasn't easy. The man was very intense, and apparently he'd mellowed out with his older age? Yuuta found it a little hard to believe.

"You good?" Shouhei asked.

"Yeah," Yuuta nodded, letting his fingers slip away from Shouhei's. If he could've walked into school clinging to him, he probably would have. Not the most adult thing to say, but Yuuta was nervous. He would be fine after a day or two, he was sure.

He walked into the classroom, taking his seat near the back, Shouhei was more near the middle, closer to the window. Yuuta glanced in front of him, forgetting he and Arata were in different classes this time. Normally his twin brother would be seated right in front of him but... not this time.

"Good morning, class!" A familiar cheery voice called out as Kirishima Mina stepped into the room.

Yuuta's eyes widened. The last thing he expected was Mina to be his teacher! No wonder Katsuki had been grumbling about it, Eijirou had probably been talking about it to him non-stop.

"I'm so excited to be here!" Mina said, smiling at the students. "My first class ever! I decided to take a small break from hero work," she began, "to work with all of you! I'm excited to see some familiar faces, and lots of new ones." She erupted into giggles, but then quickly placed her hands down on the table.

"I had the best time here at U.A, and I want to make it the best for you too!" she said. "That being said, I won't hesitate to kick your asses into shape!"

Honestly, knowing Mina, Yuuta believed that.

"There are lots of fun things on the horizon, the training camp, the sports fest!" she said, listing off a few. "But, don't think it'll all be fun and games! " she giggled.

Shouhei glanced behind himself, looking at Yuuta with a smirk. It was shocking, but Yuuta actually felt relieved, knowing Mina was his teacher, it made him look forward to school just a little more..

~~

"So, is it nice being alone in the house?" Kazu asked, pulling out his lunch, the two of them sitting on the roof.

Sayuri puffed out her lips. "I dunno if I would call it 'alone'." She let out a long huff, unfolding the small pouch she put her lunch in. "My parents are still there."

"I meant the only kid," Kazu muttered.

"Yeah, yeah. I just was giving you shit," she teased, reaching forward to poke Kazu's cheek with her chopstick.

"Ugh," he grunted and shook his head. "You know, you can really be the worst sometimes."

"I know," she giggled, shoving some rice into her mouth. "And... I dunno. I mean it's weird not having Shou around, but it's kinda nice, but still weird."

"So you really you have no idea how you feel." Wasn't that the truth? Kazu was so good at seeing right through her confusion and lack of understanding of her own damn emotions.

Truthfully she was jealous Shouhei was away. She did miss him, but mostly she was jealous he was actually getting to train to be a hero. If she had a quirk, she knew she would be the best fucking hero there was. Just like her parents and-

"Sayuri?"

"Huh?" she said, blinking when Kazu called out her name.

"You were spacing out pretty hard," Kazu chuckled.

"Ugh..." She snorted and ran her hand through her blonde hair. "I dunno, Kazu. It's just... it's weird. Like... I miss him, but also I'm just kinda... whatever about the whole thing."

Or at least she was trying to be. She was so tired of constantly going back and forth on her thoughts regarding her quirklessness. Some days she would wake up and feel like she could conquer the world, regardless of her status, and other days it was harder, like she didn't know who she could be.

Useless, and worthless to everyone, even her parents.

It was on those days she seemed to notice the way her father occasionally looked at her.

"Whatever?" Kazu asked, tilting his head. "That sounds like you're deflecting."

Sayuri groaned. "Kazu... can you act like a teenager for like, one second?" she said. "Why are you suddenly my goddamn therapist!?"

"S-Sorry!" he stammered, waving his hand quickly. "I-I just wanted to... make sure you were okay."

"Yeah, yeah," she grumbled. "I'm fine. It's gonna be another fun school year or whatever. At least at home I can actually focus, instead of listening to Shouhei and my Dad freaking out while they train in the backyard."

"Right-"

The door slammed, and three girls stormed out onto the roof. One of them was a tall blonde with cat-like eyes. The other two were shorter, one with a large nose, the other with long straw-like hair. Sayuri was horrible with names but she knew they were all bitches. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the loser squad. The nerd and the quirkless wonder! Get off of our roof." Sayuri was almost certain her name was Hayami, but she didn't care to try and remember.

"Your roof? Oh boy, mean girls, like I've never experienced this before," Sayuri said, rolling her eyes. She pushed herself up, her skirt flapping around her legs in the breeze.

Kazu blushed, "S-Sayu..."

"It's fine, Kazu," she muttered.

"You don't have your brother or the Todoroki twins to hide behind anymore," Hayami snapped. "You two know this our spot, if you think a new year at school would change anything... I'm so sick of your shitty attitude."

"Have you taken a look in the mirror lately?" Sayuri scoffed, folding her arms over her chest. "Like what you're doing right now isn't shitty..."

"Sayuri we should just go-"

"Kazu!" she hissed.

"Maybe you should consider listening to your friend," Hayami giggled. "I would hate for you to get in trouble."

"You know if you do this shit," Sayuri began, "you're going to get in trouble too."

"Everyone knows whose daughter you are, Bakugou," she snapped. "Everyone knows what your father is like. If I tell them you hurt me because you were jealous of my quirk, who do you think they're going to believe-"

Clenching her fist, Sayuri pulled her hand back and connected with the catgirl's face. Hayami fell backwards into the girl with a large nose, whimpers slipping from her lip, blood trickling down her jaw. "You stupid bitch!" she screamed. "You actually punched me."

"Yeah well, you were being a fuckin' bitch first so... don't dish it out if you can't take it."

Her nails elongated into claws, and she growled, lunging forward. Sayuri leaned back, attempting to dodge the swipe but the girl nicked her chin, a long scratch bleeding down her jawline.

"Sayuri!" Kazu yelled. "Let's just leave... I don't want you to get in trouble-"

"Shut up!" she said. "I'm not going to let these bitches push us around this year!" Yelling, she dashed towards the girl, dodging another swipe of her long claws. "You know," she panted, stumbling back. "You're not supposed to use your quirk at school."

"That must be so difficult for you," the girl purred. "Having to hold yours back... Oh wait!"

"Fuckin' shut your damn mouth!" she said. She tried to punch her again, but completely missed. "Don't you get tired of this shit? NGH!" She gasped when the girl kicked her to the ground, her nails digging into her back. Blood began to seep into her uniform, and she groaned, knowing this wasn't going to go over well with her parents.

Kazu gasped, standing up to run to her. "S-Sayuri!" he said. "Why can't you just leave us alone? We're just trying to enjoy lunch-"

"Because you two nerds need to learn your place. Just because your parents are amazing, doesn't mean you are!"

Helping Sayuri stand, she saw Kazu frown, though she winced at the pain on her back, glancing away from him.

"We have never treated anyone differently because of who our parents are," he snapped. "You're the only one treating people horribly!"

"Well someone has to put you in your place," she said, gently touching over her nails as she retracted them.

Sayuri glared at the group of girls, walking with Kazu back towards the building.

It sure was going to be one hell of a year.

~~

Arata stared out the window as he took the train to his grandfather's house. He glanced at his watch, knowing he wouldn't have as much time as he wanted. Stupid curfew. He wished he could just stay at his grandfather's house and keep training.

Already school was frustrating. He didn't care for the way his teacher spoke, as if things were going to be fun. He wanted to work hard and actually train to be better. If things were so 'fun', he would never get to better himself.

He brushed his fingers over the screen.

[Text from: Mom]: Good luck on your first day, Arata!

[Text from: Dad]: We're so proud of you. We love you.

[Text Mom & Dad]: Thanks.

It was such a short concise answer; he could practically see the disappointment on his mother's face.

He stepped off the train and made his way to Enji's house, stopping outside. After coming here for almost a week, he did feel like he was getting better. Contrary to everything his father had told him, his grandfather wasn't horrible. Admittedly, he didn't know why his father hated Enji so much. He'd never gone into much detail, it wasn't something they liked to talk about.

"Come in, Arata," Enji said, leading him inside to the training room. "You had your first day of school today?" he asked.

"Yeah..." he muttered, looking down at the ground. He gripped his bag in determination. "I want to be ready for the sports festival!" he said.

"Ah... yes... of course," Enji said. "Then you'll have to push yourself even harder. We'll need to train you to be better with colder temperatures. Your quirk sucks away your body heat; you need to be more prepared for that. You always stop when it gets too low. You also need to learn to create your crystals faster. It's too bad you inherited the creation style quirk like your mother."

The way Enji spoke of his mother made him wince. Momo was incredibly strong; for as long as Arata had watched her, she had incredible control over her quirk and utilized it quite well. He wasn't about to argue with the man.

"R-Right," he nodded, his heart thumping in his chest. He knew Yuuta was stronger, even if his brother didn't care to admit it. Despite his natural strength, Yuuta did have poor control over his flames.

"Good," he said. "Warm-up."

Enji was always quite blunt when it came to training, something Arata wasn't used to. When he worked on his quirk with his parents, they were always gentle, never pushing him. But he wanted to be better and this... this was the only way.

He began his warm-up stretches and created a few smaller crystals. They weren't very heated, only slightly warmed in order to save the heat he needed for later.

"We also need to work on you making larger crystals," he said.

Arata bit his lip. He knew he was terrible at that. He could sometimes make them all in a row but they were always small. It would've been easier if he could make them in a row, or flow more like lava... but he had no idea if that was even possible.

Enji's flamed burned so bright, just like his father's. Arata wished he had something like that... or that his quirk was easier to figure out, like Yuuta's. The idea of controlling his body temperature through flames seemed far easier.

"Try and make a larger crystal this first time, now that you've warmed yourself up," Enji stated, folding his arms over his chest.

"Okay," Arata nodded.

Generally he made them from his palm. Anytime he tried elsewhere they looked odd, and occasionally hurt. He held his palm out, allowing for a larger crystal to pop out, though it wasn't much bigger.

"Mmmm. You always use your palm. Use your chest," Enji said.

Arata swallowed. "I-I don't know if I can," he said. "It usually hurts when I try and do it from there."

"Try."

"Okay..." Arata said, slowly unbuttoning his shirt. He closed his eyes, sucking in a deep breath of air as he allowed the heat to pool forward in his chest, sweat slowly rolling down his brow. His lungs felt tight, pain shooting through his spine as he pushed a large crystal out, panting as he did it. It fell to the floor, steaming and larger than most of the things he'd made before.

Almost immediately, he fell to his knees. "Dammit..." he grunted.

"Good. Better," Enji said. "If you're in pain, push through it. This is how you get stronger."

Shivering, cold began to settle into his body. Arata pursed his lips, panting as he tried to keep his temperature stable. He pulled a lot of heat for the crystal in front of him, hadn't Enji noticed that? "Could you use your flame to warm the room?" Arata asked.

"No," Enji said flatly. "I won't be around to assist you at school or in the field. Plus, you should be able to make things like this with ease," he continued. "This is what you are training for. If you could create these faster, you could trap villains in your crystalized structure. You need to get better at creating various shapes as well."

Swallowing, Arata knew Enji was right. He just wish he had a better idea as to how to do that.

Why was it such a struggle to get his body to listen to him? There was so much to do, and the more he trained the farther away it all felt. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?

~~

"Oh, sweetheart. The first day?" Ochako said, standing in the hallway of the school. Sayuri had her gym t-shirt on, after the nurse had wrapped practically her entire body in bandages from the scratch on her back.

"Whatever, Mom, can we please just leave?" she asked, folding her arms over her chest. "I need to get out of here."

"It-It wasn't Sayuri's fault, Auntie!" Kazu stammered, looking between the two girls.

"I'm sure," Ochako sighed. "Are you going to be okay, Kazu? I'm going to take Sayuri home. If you would be so kind as to get all her assignments..."

"Mhm... Yeah..." he nodded, glancing down. "See you tomorrow, Sayu..."

"Yeah, bye," she said, trying her best not to completely snap at the other boy.

Holding her ripped uniform in her hand, Sayuri followed her mother out of the school in silence. She really had nothing to say to her, and quite frankly she knew her parents weren't going to be happy. Knowing them, they'd suggest switching schools again.

She climbed into the car, shutting the door and staring out the window, too embarrassed to look at her mother.

"Sayu... you know you can talk to me about these things."

"Yup," she said.

"Is this about your brother leaving-"

"No, Mom. Not everything has to do with Shouhei," she snapped.

"I wasn't implying that it did," Ochako said softly.

Sayuri almost wished it was her father, cause at least he wouldn't speak to her like she was some pathetic kicked puppy. "I'm fine, Mom."

"You were scratched by a girl at school because you punched her for a reason still unclear to me. You're not fine," Ochako said, far more stern.

"What's there to say!" Sayuri shrugged. "She was trying to kick me and Kazu off the roof. She said we needed to be put in our places because of who our parents are. So... I put her in hers."

"Well she obviously got a good hit on you too. For your own safety... you can't be doing things like this-"

"What, because I'm quirkless?!" she yelled. "Because I'm not... as strong as you and Dad and Shouhei. I tried to punch her and I missed. It was just fuckin' sloppy!"

"Sayuri, you know this has nothing to do with you being quirkless."

"Doesn't it always kinda have to do with that, Mom?" she snapped. "If I wasn't quirkless, those girls would leave me alone. If I wasn't quirkless, I could actually do something about it!"

"It's not all about that and you know it!" Ochako sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "I don't... want you getting into fights at school, but if it's a matter of protecting yourself then we can spar together more. How about that?"

"Gee thanks," Sayuri said, folding her arms over her chest. "I'd love a pity spar."

Ochako put the car in park, pulling into their driveway. "You're just like your father, so damn stubborn! I think it would be good for you to learn better techniques anyway," Ochako said. "It is not a 'pity spar'. I'm your mother, and I want to teach my daughter to protect herself."

"Whatever, Mom," Sayuri said, getting out of the car. She yanked her key out of her backpack, shoving it inside the door to their house as she stormed towards her room.

She was probably being irrational. Wasn't she always? It was embarrassing to talk about this kind of stuff with her mother. Her parents were both strong beyond measure, and while learning from her mother would be amazing... it made her feel even more pathetic.

She slammed her door shut and screamed, tossing her bag against her bed. She thought about her break, and how productive she felt working with Melissa and Kazu. Why couldn't school be like that too? Why couldn’t these fucking extra bitches just leave her alone?!

Crawling into bed, she tried to forget the whole day. She shut her eyes, hoping to doze off, but instead she stared at the wall, wondering how different life would be if she went to a different school. People were assholes everywhere. She couldn't imagine it would make much of a difference. There'd be another bitchy cat girl at a new school too.

It didn't take long for there to be a knock at the door, someone interrupting her peace and quiet. "Go away!"

"Not gonna happen, baby girl."

She froze. Her father.

She certainly hadn't been expecting to hear him. When had he even come home?

He turned the knob, opening the door as he slammed it shut behind him. "What the hell is going on?"

She yanked her blanket over her head, hiding even more. "Nothing," she snapped.

"Then why the hell were you bleeding at school? Your mother called me practically sobbing into the goddamn phone," Bakugou hissed. She felt his weight on her bed, sinking down.

"I don't wanna talk about it!" she yelled. "I think you of all people should understand that! You suck at talking, Dad!"

She heard him sigh. "Look baby girl, you can't be fucking fighting at school-"

"Says you!" she snapped, finally sitting up to glare at him.

"Oi!" he yelled. "I got into shitty fights at school and it sucked. I'm not telling you to let this girl stomp all over you. But your mother wants to help you and I want you to fucking be grateful!"

"Wow!" she yelled back. "Well, I'm sorry for not wanting your pity party!" she yelled. "I get that me being quirkless is pathetic and all to you-"

"Stop," he said flatly, looking down. "Enough of that bullshit."

"See!" she yelled. "You can't even look at me! And when you do I-I know that's what you're thinking!"

"That's never what I'm thinking, Sayuri!" he yelled back. He turned his head towards her, his red eyes glaring.

"Oh yeah? Then what are you thinking, enlighten me, Dad!"

She saw the way his fingers curled around the edge of the bed and his shoulders trembled slightly. Was he really so bothered by this?

He let out a frustrated breath. "I keep fuckin' thinking that I hate this! I hate it so fucking much. I hate seeing you come home with a fucking injury because some bitch at school felt like they had to make fun of you to feel better about themselves. It takes all of my fucking being to not storm over to that girl's house and blow it up! I'm the number one fucking hero and I can't even protect my own damn daughter!"

Sayuri blinked, unsure if she should breathe... unsure if he was actually done speaking. It was rare he spoke so candidly. "Dad..." she said.

"And... I..." he stopped himself. Instead of saying anything else, he sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "I just want to fuckin' keep you safe, baby girl and the older you get... the more I can't."

She wasn't expecting such an outburst, though she supposed it was her father. She swallowed and stared at him. "Dad... I... I'm sorry-"

"Those girls," he continued, cutting her off. "They should say sorry. For the things they do, and the things they say. Fuckin' shits!" he growled. "You don't ever have to apologize. You're strong and perfect just the way you are!"

"I-I know I just..." she bit her lip, trying not to cry. All of this would've been so much easier if she just had a stupid quirk. Even if it was a small one... then maybe she wouldn't cause her family so much pain.

She reached forward and gently wrapped her hand around Bakugou's, clinging to his fingers. "I'll train with Mom. I'll... talk to her at dinner."

"Good," he muttered. "Your mother is kick ass, she'll teach you how to throw a real good punch."

"Yeah... yeah... I know," she said. She leaned forward to rest her forehead against his shoulder, letting a few tears roll down from her eyes. Why couldn’t she be normal so they could all stop worrying about her?

BnHA Chapter 171: Knock Them Dead With Your Sound

Previously on BnHA: Deku and Mirio visited Eri in the hospital. Eri apologized for everything they went through in order to save her, particularly Mirio who lost his powers. Mirio told her it wasn’t her fault and that everyone was just glad she was safe, and they all wanted to see her smiling face. Eri tried to smile but couldn’t quite manage it. Deku racked his brain for ways to cheer her up, and struck on the idea of inviting her to the cultural festival. Aizawa said he’d need to ask the principal but that it could probably be arranged. After Mirio explained the concept, Eri agreed, saying that she wanted to get to know everyone better. We then cut to the police, who were watching a live broadcast of a convenience store robbery and trying to trace its source. The robber, a gentleman thief named -- wait for it -- Gentle, took out six heroes in the blink of an eye and then left without taking any money. He said he wanted his name to be etched into history, and as he met up with his accomplice afterwards, he pondered what his next great exploit should be.

Today on BnHA: We are properly introduced to Gentle and his social media-savvy adoring fan La Brava. Gentle specializes in “chivalrous crimes” that target corruption. However his recent videos haven’t been as popular, in part because Stain and the League of Villains have been stealing his thunder. Back at U.A., word begins to spread about class A’s band performance and dance program. Bakugou overhears some grumps complaining about how cocky 1-A is and how they’re the ones who “start all the conflict.” That evening the kids meet to hash out who will be in charge of what. Jirou needs a drummer, and it turns out Bakugou plays drums, but he’s pissed at the idea of being obligated to provide stress relief for the other departments. As he puts it, “we aren’t getting smacked down by the villains because we enjoy it.” Instead he reframes the whole thing as a battle, and vows to knock U.A. dead with his sound. I mean, whatever works I guess. Meanwhile Gentle reveals to La Brava that he’s planning a new stunt which will surpass anything Stain or the League has done: he plans to invade U.A.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 198 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

lol

LIVING LAWLESS. all about that THUG LIFE

okay so the narrator, whom I assume is Gentle, is talking about people who have left their marks on history

you’re telling me there’s a hero out there simply known as “Brave”? I know we already had a Mr. Brave, and I can tell you right now he has left his mark on absolutely nothing. so that means there’s another guy out there named Brave, so Mr. Brave, your hero name is even lamer than I thought. WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST GO WITH SPLIT END

ooooohh!

oh my god. I want to know everything about all of these guys right the fuck now. particularly Destro. “special abilities liberation army” sounds a lot like a Magneto type “mutant rights” type of thing. there’s an era that we still don’t know much about right after quirks first started appearing on the scene, and it fascinates me and I want to know more about what it was like. because I have some fic ideas about that time period tbh. Destro, I’m definitely making a note of you

so now the narration is talking about how before the present systems were established, the lines between heroes and villains were blurred and it was an age of chaos

honestly this all sounds incredibly badass, like a superpowered wild west

and Gentle seems to agree, saying it was an age of pure freedom

this guy really feels what he’s doing, huh

the gentle, soothing, cuddly criminal. when he’s not out doing Crime, he makes ASMR roleplays in his spare time. “sleep-inducing bank robbery 🌙 (whispered/soft-spoken)”

he’s walking over to La Brava now and she says that their account got deactivated “again”, so she just finished uploading all of their videos to a new account

fucking 2010s manga though, you guys!!

and apparently that narration was from his debut video, which she was rewatching and swooning over just now

so he’s going to finish his cup of tea and then they will get on to today’s filming

oh my fucking god

you don’t understand guys. he’s really a man of the people. he’s on your side! handing out punishments to “those who do not act gentlemanly.” protecting them all from the horrors of expired pudding

oh my god you guys La Brava is the cutest ever I swear to god

how is she so cute though??

she’s frustrated because the jstore robbery video didn’t get that many views

but Gent says they’re not in it for external validation

she’s really mad though because she says it’s been 6 years since he’s been active as “the villain of the media world”

and apparently when Stain came along and went viral he stole all their views

yes but you have to admit they are super compelling though. I miss them, actually. where are they

(ETA: for real, they’ve been way too quiet recently and it’s starting to make me pretty nervous)

did you read that car chase chapter, though. “spectacle” indeed

he says his style is the opposite of that, but nonetheless it can’t be denied that they have momentum

he says all of the 10,000+ comments on their videos concern that violent behavior

are you sure some of the comments aren’t also shipping Toga and Twice. or theorizing what’s up with Tomura’s hands. or talking about how badass Compress’s new metal arm is. honestly they have a lot going for them, man

lmao

WAY TOO MANY JUMP CUTS

I also agree with the guy saying La Brava deserves more of the spotlight. she’s so great

Gent is letting loose with a hearty laugh and says he won’t be discouraged though, and that his next project will surpass even theirs

that is a tall order, sir. Tomura’s most recent act was a great service to humanity. all I’m saying is, you better not hype me up like the last new villain only to let me down, because don’t even get me started on that shitshow

so La Brava is all excited and asking what the next project is, and Gent is responding with a bunch of cryptic bullshit

so I guess we’re going to find out more about the history of heroes and when they became an established thing, huh? I’m 1000% on board with this and I may actually be even more excited for this than for the upcoming class 1-A rave, negl. good job getting this manga back on track, Horikoshi!

(ETA: I’m so thick, he’s clearly just talking about U.A. here lol)

so now we’re cutting back to U.A. and Vlad (who I almost called “Brad” again, it’s been so long) is talking to Aizawa about the cultural fest, and he’s all “so I heard class A is doing a rave huh?”

interestingly, this seems to be one of the rare occasions where Aizawa doesn’t seem to be 100% on board with their hijinks

stfu Aizawa. what’s more admirable than a fucking rave

now we’re cutting to the always adorable children of class A who are excited to plan their festival program

and some shadowy person is coming up to Bakugou and is all “did you hear?”

oh no wait they’re not talking to him, they’re talking to each other about class A right in front of him

um, whoa

y’all trying to start some shit, huh? gonna talk shit about his class when they’re trying to do something fucking nice?? like it’s their fault they keep getting attacked by fucking villains? okay then. hey on an unrelated note, go fuck yourselves

so are these guys just assholes or is this really what the rest of the school in general really thinks? because I can see why they might not exactly have a favorable impression of them, truth be told. Bakugou’s stunts at the sports festival didn’t exactly paint them in the best light. and most likely everyone has made the connection between the kidnapping and Kamino and the student dorms. and probably it’s not much of a secret who the two kids who were caught fighting on Ground Beta after hours were, either. so yeah

but it’s still a dick move to come and do this right in front of him when he’s not bothering you or anything, so fuck you still, and I will come over there and fight you if I have to, don’t think I won’t

fuck. well anyway, while I’m here grumbling and trying to take deep, calming breaths, we’re cutting back to Heights Alliance, and Iida is taking charge of a planning session

first they need to decide on the music, so Jirou is suggesting genres

she says they really should be doing EDM if the intent is to play dance music, but on the other hand everyone seems set on playing instruments. lol it would be funny though if everyone took turns DJing

so she’s asking if anyone in class plays bass or drums, and is met with a dead silence

she says she plays guitar mainly, so her drumming is only so-so. and she says that if she has to teach a beginner how to play drums then one month is not going to be enough time

OH MY GOD

I don’t fully understand what’s happening but ARE YOU IN FACT IMPLYING THAT MY SON KATSUKI KNOWS HOW TO PLAY DRUMS OH MY GOD. KATSUKI ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN A ROCK BAND!?

apparently the answer to that question is YES because class A knows all too well exactly how to manipulate him

MASTER OF PUPPETS I’M PULLING YOUR STRIIIIIINGS

lmao and JUST LIKE THAT

TOO EASY

holy shit. and it seems like he actually does know what he’s doing as well. go figure, he is good at virtually everything after all

well, this is everything I never knew I wanted. good show. excuse me for a moment, I’m gonna go play Song 2 by Blur and wonder what the season 4 OST is gonna be like

now he’s trying to walk away again lol

this is really just an open invitation for someone to come up with a convincing enough reason for him to do it without losing face

although part of me also wonders if maybe he would just rather not be in the spotlight for once. especially after overhearing those JERKFACES from the department of GENERAL JERKS earlier

oh my god Jirou

come on Kacchan don’t you want to be a good person?!

oh shit now he’s going on a tangent

he says nothing’s going to come of it

ahhhhhhhh. I see. so it’s that he’s pissed off at the other departments and doesn’t feel like they deserve class A’s niceness

ahhhh but Jirou looks crushed ;_;

Hagakure is kind of awkwardly being all, “hey, c’mon...”

but Bakugou says that what they’re doing is just “indulging the enemy”

and when exactly did it become Us vs Them though, I wonder. like, if the other classes are the enemy, that implies that your class is Not The Enemy though, yes? aww

oh shit. ohhhhh shit

oh my. and I didn’t even order any Bakugou feels. “yes, we know,” Horikoshi says, holding out the delivery bag. “these are on the house. please accept our gratitude on account of being such a loyal customer”

oh shit you guys. so what do I even do with these. should I meta about them or should I just eat them while they’re still hot

lol, but yeah. “I didn’t ask to be kidnapped. we didn’t ask to be attacked.” people acting like it’s their fault and like they’re enjoying the attention. and maybe once upon a time he did want that, but it’s one thing to fantasize about being famous for being the number one bestest coolest hero, and quite another to wind up actually in the spotlight because you’re the kid who keeps getting attacked by sludge monsters and Villain Leagues. and then people act like you brought it on yourself because you were too cocky. especially when we know that on some level he does blame himself, so it stings all the more

so why should they go out of their way to try to support people like that? it’s almost like they’re apologizing to those assholes, and fuck that

mmm. [munching] so anyway let’s see where this leads

hahaha. what

oh my god this fucking kid

lol. okay so he is on board, then, but just to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, he is not out to “support” anyone, but rather he is declaring war. via drums. that’s right

well hey, however you need to frame it! at the end of the day he has agreed to help, so!

the other kids seem to be on the same page as me lol

yep. WE’LL TAKE IT

JIROUUUUU

;_____; I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JIROU

and now we’re cutting back to Gent and OH MY GOD

CAN YOU PLEASE. NOT

JESUS CHRIST. CAN THEY NOT JUST HAVE JUST ONE FUCKING THING. LET BAKUGOU DECLARE A DRUM WAR AND LET JIROU SHARE HER MUSIC WITH EVERYONE AND LET ERI HAVE A GOOD “DATE” WITH HER DOTING BIG BROTHER MIRIO AND LET THEM JUST RELAX WITHOUT ANY VILLAIN ANTICS

goddammit. I mean like, Gentle’s idea of villainy would probably be to whip out a violin and challenge them to a classical battle of the bands. but even polite villain antics are really not going to be good for U.A.’s PR at the moment. and this guy films everything he does. and just. we don’t need this sob

BONUS:

everyone this is Agoyamato Tsutsutaka and Togeike Chikuchi. that’s literally all this is. just their names. did we really need to know this lol oh well

[transvladking]

(1/2) Hey I know you posted the post (about Monoma’s jab at Bakugou making no sense) a while ago now, but I wanted to bring up an alternative line of reasoning. Monoma knows two things: 1. All Might went down during the mission to save Bakugo and 2. Bakugo really wants to be a hero, enough that he made it into UA. And what wannabe-hero DOESN’T like All Might? Monoma may have surmised that Bakugo would feel sth negative about it just by knowing that Bakugo likely looks up to All Might.

(2/2) Monoma also has a problem with Bakugo (linkspooky wrote a couple amazing posts about the parallels between them). It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that Monoma would try killing 2 birds with one stone: get Deku to respond to him AND potentially hit Bakugo where it hurts. Not to mention he likely doesn’t have any other recent ammunition about Deku’s classmates. In conclusion, maybe he just made a educated jab about the guy from class A he hates and happened to hit the nail on the head.

(4/2) also I don’t mean to rail on you or anything but, re: your other post about Monoma’s costume being impractical—maybe his quirk only activates when his hands make contact with another person? I have to check if it’s been this case with a couple of instances (e.g. Tsuburaba if that was shown) but it could be that something got lost in translation, Horikoshi-sensei didn’t clarify enough or other human errors, etc.

Hi! Let me preface this by saying I am, so, fucking tired right now so if this post ends up sounding strange its because im slbebby. Also long post ahead.

Secondly, thank you for being so polite! But I have to say I disagree with you, at least slightly. (And I’ve already read the linkspooky post and it perfectly worded something I had been tossing around for a while, and it was awesome)

So, as to Monoma’s insult towards Bakugo— I still stand by it not being sensible. Monoma’s overall view of the world, as we’ve seen in recent chapters, is sort of meta– he sees everyone as part of a story, or, actors on a stage.

I just don’t think the same guy who saw Bakugou do One Pretty Okay Thing and Freaked Out because “HE CHANGED HIS CHARACTER?!” would be able to pinpoint the same thing that made him hurt! Especially with the exact wording Bakugou used. It’s…a little too convenient. That exact wording? The “Fall of All Might”? it’s too meta. Monoma wouldn’t have known Bakugou felt that exact emotion, and it’s not like Monoma has, as the viewer has, seen the way All Might acts around his Class A Favorites (Midoriya and Bakugou).

Here’s what Monoma knows vis a vis Bakugou

1) Asshole.

2) Sludge Villain victim

3) Sports Fest Winner, that whole being chained up shit (that was fucked up)

4) Considers everyone else extras

5) Failed Provisional License Exam Try One 

6) Got Kidnapped at Kamino Ward

7) Attacked at USJ

8) Asshole.

9) Makes Friends Apparently ????

Now, I know you’re likely going to point out the time when Monoma uses the Sludge incident and USJ against Bakugou, which of course, is a fair point. He CLEARLY isn’t above poking at incredibly sore subjects (re:Monoma struggles to empathize with people cough cough) because he thinks the Ends (victory for his group) justifies the Means(being a nasty little man)

And in fact, Monoma using the kidnapping against Bakugou wouldn’t be surprising, had it been executed better. When Monoma mentions these two topics, he’s essentially saying Bakugou is just trying to keep all that attention to himself. So, if he were to poke at the Kamino Ward incident, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to say something like, perhaps,

“How can someone like him still try so hard to hog the spotlight, even after all that’s happened?” It encompasses multiple events, but it shows that Monoma only really knows what was on the news, because that IS all he would know. The “Fall of All Might” Is too specific of a phrase, in my personal opinion. Especially since we heard that exact wording from Bakugou wayyy earlier.

So, if I were to rewrite it, keeping all this in mind, what I think would fit better would be Monoma jabbing at the sore subject (although i still dont see him targeting bkg directly as a strategy he came up with, and rather something Shinsou did, because everything Monoma has done before either targeted the Exact Person He Was Speaking To (and even then, it rarely touched above Petty and Rude), or was some sort of back-handed self-roast in an attempt to make Class A look bad. Shinsou would be the one who’d have that little ‘psst. midoriya…he stans his classmates’, but for the sake of the argument, lets say he still does want to target bakugou in particular. Even though he’s entirely irrelevant to the battle and therefore isnt worth monomas (a person who relies on strategy almost entirely) attention) but in the vague way i mentioned above,before cutting to bakugou thinking about kamino ward and getting that little rise of guilt again. That way it doesnt feel as forced, in my opinion.

If I could pick something else entirely to be poked at, I’d have monoma poke at midoriya’s poor control over his quirk, to be honest. He was there at the sports fest when midoriya went balls to the wall shatter every bone in his body mode, and im sure hes aware of all the dangers that brings both midoriya and his teammates. PLUS, having that followed by the ofa going shit to fuck event would feel more cohesive, as a whole.

NOW ONTO HIS QUIRK,

I have quite a few hcs about how it works (please ask), but all it says is he needs to make physical contact. So, we’re up in the air on that one. But, we know he can get it from touching hair (kirishima), so I think it’s really just anywhere he can get some DNA. Maybe it’s only at it’s most capable if he uses his hands? I have theories, but we really dont have….solid proof either way I Think. He very well could have snatched tsubarabas quirk with his hand off screen.

Also, I did make a monoma redesign and kept the long sleeves, but made it so he could zip off the elbows or shoulders, allowing him to show more skin as needed. I think that’s a nice compromise?
