The Great Cat Heist (or not)

(Also posted on ao3)

Shouto was sick. Which wasn’t nearly as rare as everyone in class seemed to be convinced it was. Yes, it was rare for him to get very sick, like he was right now, debilitatingly sick, but he was an extremely overstressed child who got the bare minimum of sleep to function growing up, rather than the amount a child his age would’ve actually needed. And even now, he still got far less sleep than he needed and, well, no one could say the life of the students in class A wasn’t exceptionally stressful. What he was saying is, his immune system was terrible at its job and that wouldn’t be changing anytime soon.

His experience with being sick didn’t make the actual illness any less miserable, though. Fevers were a nightmare, especially considering he could generally regulate his internal body temperature, but, well, fevers existed for a reason, and with his body diverting all its energy to dealing with the virus, he didn’t have the energy to fix it even if he wanted to. Even if that wouldn’t have been a terrible idea. So he pulled his blankets over him more, cold and hot at the same time, a couple stray flurries and flickers occasionally popping into view, and he hoped he could just sweat this thing out and be done with it by the next day. While it was much better to be sick at the dorms than at home, he still didn’t want to be. He didn’t want to miss important lessons and practice. He knew the teachers didn’t much care, so long as he recovered, but he did.

He huffed. His room was a peaceful place, and it was comforting, designed like his house but without the suffocating presence of his father, without the coldness that permeated every lifeless inch of the house. There were little trinkets around his room, things he’d gotten from his friends on his birthday, or when they went out together, things they brought back from their own trips out saying it reminded them of him. Every corner of his room, traditional as it may be, was steeped in pieces of his friends, in signs that he had grown, that the person he was now was better than the person he was when he first got into UA, with proof that he did have friends now, good ones, people he loved and would do anything for.

Off to the side, there was a little plant he had gotten when he was out with Izuku, stating that the fluffy green thing reminded him of his friend. He had initially gotten it with intent to give it to his friend, but Izuku had insisted he keep it, and put it into a corner of his room, a reminder that his friend was always “in his corner” it was ridiculously cheesy and so utterly Izuku it had made him laugh and immediately comply. In addition to that, tucked beside his futon, is a dumb fluffy little sleeping cat plushie Hitoshi had given him on his birthday, one that looked like the little cat the two of them had initially bonded over when Hitoshi had found him sitting in the grass on campus, a tiny tabby that had slipped in settled on his lap. He also had a couple terrible but wonderful romance novels on his desk, gifts from Yaoyorozu, a blown up piece of his father’s merch on his dresser, courtesy of his lovely Katsuki, next to a picture Uraraka had given him on his last birthday, and there was more, everywhere. It was wonderful. And a wonderful distraction from the fact that he couldn’t currently breathe through his nose.

He couldn’t wait until one of his friends could come visit him and make this sickness feel less torturous. Of course, he didn’t want them to get sick, too, but just having someone sitting in the chair at his desk and talking to him sounded wonderful right now, since sleep had eluded him for many, many hours. He was tired, far too tired to properly engage with his friends, probably, but he needed something, if he couldn’t sleep. Something to distract his brain from the constant thought that he was so, so sleepy, and he desperately wanted a good rest. Unfortunately, no distraction would be coming soon, because his friends had class, and until the day was done, he would be forced to lie in bed limply like a dead fish, all alone.

Or at least that’s what he had expected, until he heard the door of his room fly open and gently bounce against the wall. It wasn’t a loud sound, not a proper bang, but it made a small thunk to accompany the sound of the door clicking open. He glanced up, his forehead covered in sweat, flushed to hell, and he was sure he looked disgusting, but his friends had all seen him in rough states before, and he really didn’t care if they saw him sick.

Seeing Hitoshi, though, was a surprise. And it seemed that was shared, because he seemed surprised at the state Shouto was in as well. Did nobody tell him he was ill? He was certain all of the class had known, since the teachers did, but he supposed not. Huh. He expected, then, the first words out of his friend’s mouth to be something that expressed some modicum of concern but it was not so. No, instead he got:

“You’re sick? What do you mean you’re sick? You’re my partner in crime!” which… rude. He didn’t choose to be sick, thank you. He glared weakly at Hitoshi, who completely ignored it. “I needed you to help me with something. A heist.”

“A heist?” Shouto asked, entirely unimpressed and showing it quite clearly, despite his voice sounding like he was choking on a cat.

“A cat heist!” Hitoshi explained. “How am I supposed to do a cat heist without my cat heist partner?” he asked, and really, that was not Shouto’s problem. While he enjoyed a good cat heist on a day when he didn’t feel like death but on drugs, he couldn’t find even an ounce of care within himself at this moment for it. Though… having a cat to cuddle with while sick would be pretty nice.

Okay maybe it was his problem. He looked at Hitoshi.

“What, exactly, were you thinking?” he asked. Hitoshi grinned like a cat who had caught the canary, or, he supposed, the boy who had trapped another into catching the cat that caught the canary. That was complicated. Far too complicated for his feverish brain.

“Okay so there’s this really cute calico outsi--” he cut himself off, a frown covering his face. He shook his head. “Actually, no, there’s no way we’re doing a cat heist when you’re sick. That’s way too much exertion. I’m not gonna be the one responsible for you dropping dead.”

“I won’t die,” Shouto huffed with a roll of his eyes, “it’s just a fever.” The word fever was punctuated with a cough. Hitoshi shook his head again.

“That’s a definite no. I should’ve realized when you missed class that this was a no go.” Which… was true. He probably definitely should’ve realized but still. Now Shouto was hooked on the idea of cuddling a cat.

“You can’t get my hopes up for cat cuddles and not deliver,” he huffed. That got a reaction out of Hitoshi, a small nod of acknowledgement that it was simply cruel to do that. The other didn’t say anything for a minute or two, before nodding resolutely and getting to his feet.

“I’ll be back in a little bit. Don’t move a muscle and try to take a nap if you can. You’re sick, you need a lot of rest. I’ll send Izuku through with a fever reducer and some soup for you. We all know your boyfriend is already making some for you.” He paused, stopping at the door. “Actually, can I brainwash you to sleep? Would you be okay with that?”

Considering how sleep had eluded him for… awhile, that was probably, definitely the best option. It was sweet of Hitoshi to care enough to offer, he smiled.

“Yeah, that sounds wonderful,” he said, and he felt a haze slip over his mind right as he finished speaking. Over the years, working and training together, it had become and oddly comforting feeling. Especially when he agreed to it beforehand. The hold was looser when there was consent, when he willingly gave control over, because the vice-like grip he often used was simply unnecessary. He stared at Hitoshi.

“Take a nap,” he said, the command in his voice gentle, and Shouto’s brain complied without thought, finally allowing him the drift of sleep he had longed for all day. He fell into a blissful slumber.

When he woke up, it was to a dark room. Had Izuku not come in? Or… Apparently he had slept through his visit, because beside his bed, well within reach but not close enough for him to knock around was a tray with a thermos, two pills, and a bottle of water on it. He also noted that he felt… oddly warm, but only in one part of his body, the side of his right thigh. He tilted his head, letting his eyes adjust a bit more to the dark, but he heard it before he saw it.

The faint purr of a cat filled the air, and he wasn’t sure how he hadn’t noticed it before. There was a calico cat pressed against his side, his cold side, which was unusual, but he supposed, feverish as he was, both sides probably felt like his warm side. He reached down, weakly petting along the cats head. The purring grew louder. He smiled. He had a precious, purring kitty at his side. He was sure he had Hitoshi to thank for that. He wondered how that solo cat heist went. Obviously well enough that the cat got snuck into the building, but still. He’d have to ask him in the morning.

In the meantime, the feeling of sleepiness wrapped around him like his blankets, and he fell asleep once more to the comforting purring of the cat.

Purring that had persisted until morning, when he was awoken by the little thing kneading at his thigh. He smiled. His fever didn’t feel quite as bad this morning, but he still took the fever reducers on the tray, and thanked whatever god was listening that it was Sunday, meaning he wasn’t going to miss another day of class. With the fever reducer taken, he was about to grab the thermos and the spoon, and get some sustenance into his stomach, especially considering that Katsuki always made incredibly tasty food, when he noticed a slip of paper out of the corner of his eye. Careful not to disturb the cat with his movements, he adjusted to grab the paper instead, unfolding it to read.

“I hope you slept well. And you better eat, or I’ll force you to. You know that’s not an empty threat, take care of yourself.” Which was rich coming from the boy who lived off of caffeine and hardly slept, but he knew the other meant well, and knew the reason for that was the chronic nightmares and insomnia he got as a result of his quirk. Shouto could sympathize. Not for quirk, but for childhood. He kept reading. “The cat heist was a failure,” it said, which was curious, considering the cat at his side, “but I got Aizawa-sensei’s permission to bring in the cat to help you, y’know, with the whole being sick thing. He couldn’t say no when I showed him the calico’s cute little face. He insisted on naming her, though, or, rather, letting Eri name her, so meet Potato Fluff. She’s the official dorm mascot. Don’t tell Nezu.” Shouto laughed. His lips were sealed. “I’ll come visit you and her in the morning. No hoarding all the cat cuddles to yourself. Don’t die, Hitoshi”

He shook his head, though the movement made his head pound. Mistakes were made. He wondered when Hitoshi would stop by. He hoped the others did, too, eager to see them all again, considering it had been over a day now, and that was extremely weird. He seldom didn’t see his friends at least once, but after he had passed out the day before, he had passed out, apparently. He could thank Hitoshi for that. He would, when he came to visit.

He would thank him for helping him sleep, and for bringing him the cat. He was an amazing friend. He hoped he knew that. Even if he did, it wouldn’t hurt to remind him.

He scooped up the cat, bringing her closer to his chest. She didn’t protest, nuzzling in immediately, and he decided, at that moment, that he would die for Potato Fluff. And that if being sick meant cat cuddles, and his wonderful friends helping him out, and his boyfriend making him food, and this, all of this, then maybe it wasn’t so bad. Maybe a fever wasn’t the worst thing that could happen, and maybe being sick didn’t have to be so miserable.

He watched the door with a smile. Sure, he was still sick, and his head hurt, and he felt weak, but he had a wonderful cat and he had wonderful friends, and a wonderful boyfriend, and wonderful food his boyfriend had made for him that he was eating while holding the aforementioned wonderful cat, and this wasn’t bad at all. When he inevitably got sick again, well, he hoped it ended just like this. He kissed Potato Fluff’s little head. This was fine.

weekly fic recs

(ft. my bookmark comments - mostly mha and voltron)

boku no hero academia:

what is right and what is easy - theroyalsavage

(bnha; tododeku; fluff + angst; 2k words; oneshot)

Midoriya Izuku is not chosen to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament. He does not slay a dragon, or rescue innocents, or brave a maze of dark magic. He does not win accolades, or fame, or glory.

Instead, Izuku meets the son of the greatest dark wizard of the age, a Durmstrang student with hair like a sunrise and eyes like a war. And maybe, he just might win something else.

If I'm Being Honest.... by I_dont_know_man

(bnha; tododeku; fluff + crack/humor; 26k words; oneshot; truth quirk)

Midoriya scrunched up his nose in confusion. “Uh, Shouto, why are you glaring at me like that?”

“I-” Todoroki began to lie, until nausea slammed him like a door to any room that Bakugou entered. “I--” Todoroki grit his teeth, and glared daggers into the wall behind Midoriya. Goodbye, friendship. It had been absolutely divine while it lasted. “Because you’re very attractive.”

They say honesty is the best policy, but it sure as hell had a knack for Todoroki making a complete and utter fool of himself.

Or: In which Todoroki is placed under a mysterious truth-telling quirk and suffers, Uraraka laughs at him, Midoriya is confused but smitten nonetheless, and Twitter is the thirstiest site on the planet.

paint on our lips (paint on those fingertips) by spicanao

(bnha; tododeku; angst + magical realism; 11k words; oneshot; gallery au)

Galleries are wonderful places. The works seem so vibrant, so beautiful, so alive.

Until they're actually alive.

Todoroki Shouto’s Amateur Guide to Not Fucking Up The Timeline by Anubis_2701

(bnha; tododeku; crack/humor; 13k words; oneshot; time travel; future fic)

All that Todoroki had wanted was milk. Nothing drastic, nothing dramatic, just milk.

Unfortunately, in his quest to get milk, he ended up running into one of the saltiest, most impulsive people this side of the globe. Who also just so happened to have a volatile time-travel quirk.

So yeah, he was fucked. Just slightly. Being punted randomly through time wasn't exactly how he'd wanted to spend his Saturday morning. At least the younger versions of his friends are cute.

awake and (un)afraid, asleep or- by driedupwishes

(bnha; tododeku; fluff + angst + The Feels; 54k words; oneshot; social media/future fic)

“You,” Shoto says, picking his head up from where his screen is filled with The Worst Photograph Ever, curtesy of Shinsou, Jiro, Kaminari, his brother, and nearly everyone they know. “You are so dead to me.”

Kirishima blinks, mouth half open while Izuku mutters oh god, it’s too late, isn’t it on the other end of the phone, before Kirishima is leaning into his space to see his screen.

“Oh,” he says, in response to the photo someone in the crowd of civilians watching the fight had taken of them. “Oh, that’s-” he cuts himself off for a minute, leaning back to eye Shoto’s face while on the other side of the phone Izuku smothers what is probably a laugh, and then changes tracks.

“It’s super manly to love and support your friends,” Kirishima tells Shoto haughtily, as if this whole thing isn't his fault in the first place.

or: Kirishima and Shoto accidentally start trending on Twitter and in retaliation Shoto decides to make an Instagram to showcase all his Hero Deku merchandise, so that everyone knows how much he loves his boyfriend Izuku, and no one expects how quickly it will all spiral out from there

[my bookmarks: broke my heart. i teared up multiple times and even now I'm barely holding back tears.

pure beauty. pulls an incredible amount of emotion from the descriptive language and conveys the love and loneliness and that pulsing ache so well that i thought that my chest would cave in from the force of all the fucking feelings in it. this entire fic was a perfect, awe-inspiring package of fluff, beautiful shoto and class 1a interaction, heartfelt long distance tododeku feels, and almost every single paragraph had my heart fucking squeezing so hard in my chest that i could barely breathe.

Hooliganisms by aphrodaisyacs

(bnha; gen/todofam; crack/humor; 17k words; series; social media)

In which an anonymous artist’s street art of Bald Endeavor goes viral, causing a chain of coincidental events and ironic situations to ripple through the lives of everyone- heroes, villains and civilians alike.

[my bookmarks: i'm crying so much from laughter]

Part 1: Where it all begins- the origins of the street artist known as the "Bald Hooligan" and their rise to infamy

Part 2: The spin-off focusing on the unlikely trio whose friendship was borne from the events of Part 1

Daydreaming by AnonymousTwit

(bnha; gen/todobakudeku; angst; 7k words; oneshot; todoroki-centric)

If he'd been more careful, then they'd be fine. If he'd been paying attention, then he wouldn't be alone right now.

But he wasn't and he hadn't, so it's just him, now. It's him, his thoughts, and the unconscious bodies of two of his closest friends as he waits for someone to reach them.

Whether they be friendly or not.

Author has writer's block and coughed up some Todoroki angst in retaliation.

A Study in Firsts by Oceanbreeze7

(bnha; gen; angst + fluff + humor; 76k words; ongoing; class 1a-centric)

There’s a first time for everything.

The first time everyone crammed in Momo’s room to study, a mess of limbs and books on her bed.

The first time Mina burned crepes so badly the smoke alarm went off.

The first time a jumpscare got Sero so badly, he flipped off the back of the couch.

The first time Uraraka fell asleep at the table and accidentally sent it floating.

The first time someone realized Todoroki walked far too quietly, and far too cautiously around the dorms to be normal.

The first time Midoriya broke his toe on a door frame and kept walking through it.

The first time Kirishima woke up screaming through the walls.

The first time Tsuyu blanched at the sight of a needle.

The first time Bakugo dropped, clutching the back of his neck with eyes scarily vacant and detonating everything around him until Aizawa had to intervene.

It wasn’t always pretty, but the dorms were filled with firsts.

Responsibility by deafmic

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 94k words; series (complete); todoroki-centric; dadzawa + papamic)

“I told you outside,” Aizawa chooses his words carefully, reiterating the same point he’s made before. “My responsibility for you doesn’t end at the classroom. Every part of your life is partially my responsibility. Your father doesn’t scare or intimidate me. If you need help, I can get it for you, but you and I both know that you need to ask for it first.”

Aizawa organizes a way for the students to go home for the holidays. Todoroki Shouto, however, gets left behind by his father. Aizawa, annoyed at Endeavor, takes Shouto under his care for the night, and is joined by a certain Yamada Hizashi.

[my bookmarks: *unholy screaming sobbing noises*

the drip of melting ice by walking_through_autumn

(bnha; gen/platonic shintodo; angst + fluff; 19k words; oneshot; todoroki/shinsou-centric ft. dadzawa)

Aizawa found out within a day. It was quite likely due to the dish Todoroki had washed and left to dry in the shared kitchen after the kitten had been fed off it. Hitoshi was forced to reflect that it wasn’t any good hiding the litter and cat food in their wardrobes if Todoroki was going to make a fundamental mistake like that.

Aizawa stood in his door frame and raised an eyebrow. “Well? Where is the cat?”

Hitoshi gave his most disarming smile. “What cat?”

Todoroki chose that moment to exit his room, eyes on his phone, other hand holding a cat toy. He bumped into Aizawa and looked up slowly, like in a horror movie.

“...oh,” Todoroki said. Aizawa raised the other eyebrow. Hitoshi rubbed a hand down his face.

Herbal tea, weekly floor gatherings, spoiled surprises, movie marathons, shared custody over a cat, rain and ice and blankets and plushies, and the journey of falling into a friendship.

(Or: Hitoshi moves into the 2A dormitory at the beginning of his second year, learns who his neighbour is, and makes the friends he had declared he isn't there to have within the space of a semester.)

Hand in Hand in Hand by kngsbrg (Citlalcoatl)

(bnha; todobakudeku; fluff + strangers to lovers; 10k words; oneshot; tea au)

Boiling the water, choosing the right temperature for the right kind of tea, using quality leaves, scooping the precise amount, and letting it steep for just the perfect time...

All that and more is needed to make a delicious cup of tea.

A business that Shouto was quite knowledgeable about.

Spring begins and brings with it the hint of new fresh air, buds waiting to blossom, and just a bit of change.

even if i die (it's you) by monomoon

(bnha; todobaku; fluff + angst + strangers to lovers; 75k words; complete; paramedic au)

Or; where Todoroki never went to UA and, in rejection of his father's ambitions, became a paramedic; and where pro hero Bakugou Katsuki is just a little bit too intrigued with the heterochromatic man who always glares daggers at him whenever he sees him.

When Bakugou was suddenly and abruptly met with two cold, heterochromatic eyes glaring daggers right back at him, he had two immediate thoughts:

"Why does he look like he's plotting my assassination?"

and

"Why the fuck are his eyes so pretty?"

This Is Now by colormesherlocked

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort + fluff; 193k words; series (ongoing); todoroki-centric)

Todoroki Shoto will be a hero.

...But not just yet. Right now, Todoroki Shoto is a bitter, pessimistic, hurt teenager who doesn't want help, friends or hinderances of any kind getting in the way of his misguided goals.

Thankfully, there will soon be people in his life who will be more than happy to drag him into a place of happiness, safety, and acceptance - kicking and screaming the whole way, if they have to. All he has to do is survive his first meeting with them and all the incredible changes that will come after.

This is Todoroki Shoto's Hero Academia.

(Semi-canon compliant up to a point and told from Todoroki Shoto's POV.)

the league of anti-villains by aizawa_wears_crocs (avenris), avenris

(bnha; gen; angst + fluff + humor; 35k words; ongoing; todobakushinmono-centric)

When he's secretly tasked to find the UA traitor, Todoroki isn't expecting help. He's especially not expecting it from the three other first year students perceived as villainous in their own ways. Unfortunately for him, Shinsou, Monoma and Bakugou have all got something to prove, and his solo mission turns into a team effort that rapidly spirals far beyond what they were expecting to find - but hey, they're in too deep now.

Or: in which the gang solves the mystery of the traitor feat. todoroki family shenanigans, copious amounts of dadzawa, backstory for my favorite 1-B gremlin, and good old-fashioned illegal vigilantism.

such eloquent graffiti by firelilyblooms

(bnha; todobaku; angst + hurt/comfort; 9k words; oneshot; todoroki-centric; future fic)

Todoroki Shouto is sitting cross-legged at his coffee table, hunched over a bowl of instant ramen, when he finds out along with the rest of the world that the Flame Hero, Endeavor, is dead.

Or, Shouto's guide to dealing with death.

[my bookmarks: i am in ✨pain✨:)]

Tell-All by HopeNight

(bnha; todofam; angst; 4k words; oneshot; todofam/natsuo-centric)

When Natsuo is twenty-years-old, he publishes a tell-all book on his father and growing up in his house. This starts a domino effect, of course. With the book comes an investigation and sets the groundwork for the Hawks scandal in several years’ time that will see the disbandment of the Heroic Public Safety Commission and the ascension of pro hero Deku to the Number One slot. This will also lead to a decades long chain of change and progress with Deku wielding his influence and charisma like a sword and shield to make society and the world a little better than when he found it.

In essence, you can say, that Todoroki Natsuo is the true hero of this story with his fake quirk and an anger burning in his gut. Just one small book and suddenly…everything changes. The future is brighter for its existence. The curtains are thrown back and the light begins its work to disinfect and cleanse.

When Todoroki Shouto is in his second year of UA, his brother, Natsuo, publishes a tell-all book of essays about growing up in Endeavor's house.

This is Natsuo's story about how he really changed the path of things.

Shouto Todoroki and His Stuffed Eeyore (And Also Childhood Trauma) by ThatSpicySeaFlapFlap

(bnha; gen; angst + MORE ANGST; 42k words; complete; todoroki-centric)

Aizawa looked him in the eye, placed a gentle hand around his bicep (not like Endeavor, his father had only ever touched him with the intention to burn) and asked, “Are you okay?”

People don’t usually ask him things. They like to tell him things, like where to sit or what to wear or how to talk or how to be a hero or how to be himself.

‘Am I okay?’ He thought. He realized he doesn’t ask himself things, either.

Shouto didn’t have an answer to Aizawa’s question, so instead he said:

“A very long time ago, my mother did something....highly upsetting.” The boy was tracing the outline of his scar, his calloused finger stopping and jumping around the bumps and ridges of the burnt skin. “Something today reminded me of that.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” His teacher asked.

“No.”

“Okay. I’m here when you do. I’m always here, kid.” Shouto only responded with a sob. He felt as if he’d earned that right after all the emotional labor he had been put through tonight.

days by chibistarlyte

(bnha; todobaku; angst + hurt/comfort; 19k words; series (complete); todoroki-centric)

Most days, Shouto is fine.

But some days...

Some days, Shouto falls apart.

Location Sent by sunflowerstorm

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 15k words; oneshot; todoroki-centric; third year 1a)

In their first year at UA Midoriya sent his location to the class 1-A group chat during the Hosu incident because he didn't have time to do anything else before rushing to Iida's aid.

Now in their second year, Todoroki sends his location to the group chat at 6:30am on a Saturday morning after going home for the weekend. Midoriya knows immediately that something is very wrong and takes off, Bakugo hot on his heels.

-----

"They’d known each other long enough to be able to communicate practically wordlessly. The quiet rage on Midoriya's face was extremely telling, this was bad. Bakugo braced himself as Midoriya shuffled to the side to show where his hands were hovering over what was most certainly a burn and a serious one at that. Todoroki’s own fire didn’t burn him but they all knew that didn’t make him fire proof. Bakugo could do the math."

Faith by phinnium

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 7k words; oneshot; todoroki-centric; manga spoilers)

"You wanted to open a case?"

Aizawa frowned, "uh, yeah. Someone showed you Dabi's video, didn't they? And I don't doubt Todoroki himself has told you bits and pieces."

Izuku did not expect this to be how the conversation went.

"Yeah. But Todoroki isn't being hurt now. He's fine. Endeavour's changed."

Or: Midoriya trusts the Hero Commission far more than he should, especially given the situation at hand. Todoroki isn't available to explain what's what, so Aizawa and Bakugou do it instead.

(Written after the release of issue 293 of the manga, and in the aftermath of the current arc. Spoilers ahead.)

Incendiary by macrauchenia

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 17k words; ongoing (hiatus?); todoroki-centric)

"You're going to die, little Todoroki. And if you don't, your classmates will instead."

A training exercise backfires when Izuku and Todoroki become tangled in an escaped villain's vendetta against Endeavor. Alone in a perilous situation due to the villain's barrier quirk, Todoroki must take desperate and creative measures to save his classmates.

(bnha; gen; angst + hurt/comfort + fluff; 64k words; ongoing; todoroki-centric)

Todoroki Shouto has memories that he didn't make on his own, motor skills that his brain doesn't know how to parse, and a love of science and mathematics and physics that means he broke down his Quirk into its most intricate, universe-bending components at the age of seven.

In one universe, he wants to become a hero. In this one, even though he doesn't want to, he might have to.

(Featuring: a rapidly developing Shoutosquad, Quirk science, headcanons of all flavors, healthy and supportive sibling and sibling-like relationships, and Dadzawa.)

[notes: one of my current favorite fics that i’m eagerly following for the next update. :D]

Caturdays by staqua (aka my fav todobaku author)

(bnha; todobaku; fluff + angst + enemies to lovers; 10k words; oneshot)

"Hmm... It's lunchtime now isn't it? You should have lunch with him."

"With Bakugou?" He blanched. "I think he would refuse and then murder me."

Rei chuckled softly as if death was a joke and held his hand tenderly. "If he's in the hospital, someone he cares about must not be well. I think anyone going through that should have a nice meal with good company."

"You overestimate me," Shouto pointed out and she gave another laugh.

OR: Shouto's usual Saturdays included visits to his mother and the cat cafe; he wasn't expecting Bakugou to get thrown in the mix.

(vld x marvel; gen/klance; crack/humor + fluff; 17k words; social media au; ongoing)

the voltron paladins arent as popular as the avengers, obviously — in fact, no one even knows they exist. but they still radiate the same kind of dumb gay energy like the rest of the world.

or: pidge somehow manages to connect voltron's communicators onto earth and virtually nothing is the same. voltron also collectively makes everyone lose their marbles while they play hot potato with the fact that theyre in a ten thousand year war with the galra.

Recoil/Release by Cheshyr

(vld; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 22k words; oneshot; keith-centric)

When Keith is bitten by an alien creature with venom that causes your dominant emotions to be amplified, the team is ready for a day of dealing with an incredibly angry paladin.

Which means they're not ready at all for what actually happens.

(vld; gen; angst + hurt/comfort; 47k words; oneshot; keith-centric)

Keith has a lot of practice being alone; you might almost say he's good at it. When he finds himself seriously injured and stranded on an unknown planet, he knows he's not alone there. And here's the worst part: even after rescue and after things return to normal, Keith gets the distinct sense that whatever was on that planet has followed him. He doesn't have proof. But he knows it's there. He knows it's not going to stop until it gets what it wants.

Keith's 'Physical Contact' Initiation Program by alisayamin (sh_04e)

(vld; gen; fluff+ angst + hurt/comfort; 26k words; oneshot; keith-centric)

Keith didn’t move and neither did Pidge. It was a little awkward until Keith finally said, “Maybe we could officially officiate this..?”

“What do you mean?”

“Fist me.”

Pidge recoiled and sputtered, “Keith, what the f-” She was cut off by Shiro’s bellowing laughter from the observatory deck.

With his straight face unchanged, Keith lowered his left hand with the stopwatch and lifted his right hand, fisted.

Pidge actually sighed with so much relief, “OH. You mean fistbump! Right.” She slapped her forehead to remove the very very wrong image her imagination drew for her, “Holy shit, Keith, we need to work on that but yeah sure, I’d be honoured to officiate your physical contact program whatever.”

That one time Coran realized Keith was too distant and decided to make him undergo the 'Physical Contact' Initiation Program which then led to --> 5 times the paladins realized Keith was an actual cat.

Hm, I'm gonna lean more towards 'inspirational' because of getting rid of stigmas on what makes a villain. And Hawks isn't just gonna let a kid get disheartened like that, especially not because of him if he ever found out Shinsou was thinking that. Speaking of which, neither would Deku. (Become friends already!!) I'm also partial to ShinTodo and ShinToko friendships. ShinBaku is also a flavor. And we can't forget that Hawks isn't gonna be this way forever! Him and Shouto are gonna fight back!

I agree! I think at first it’d kind of hit hard, you know, like, everyone going after hawks, he’s having to hide to he is, etc. But then Hawks’s wings grow back and he crushes all the haters. And shinsou sees all the support for hawks and is very inspired and uplifted etc. And hori CANT keep drenching us in pain and death forever. This is shounen after all!

I’m actually really hoping we get to see shinsou’s reaction to the hawks stuff in canon. If hori doesn’t show it he’s wasting a prime opportunity

#asks #i firmly believe hawks will get his wings back #note to self to write meta on all the heroes losing limbs #but maybe I’m overanalyzing things

yob’s roleplay rules

general info

i don’t play real people and i refuse to play real people <3

i can roleplay thru reblog chains, but messages are preferred

my motivation and my sleep schedule and my everything are often inconsistent. i’ll try to let you know when i have to disappear, but sometimes i just... don’t. i’ll try n work on that

i’m okay with mature topics like gore and death, though if it’s, like, smut... i don’t know. maybe if you can confirm that you’re also a minor but above 13. also only done in private messaging. also i don’t like making smut the whole basis of a roleplay.

i’m usually semi-literate to literate, using “quotes” for dialogue and writing actions as you’d read in, like, a book. but i’m pretty flexible with my style and can use *asterisks* if you do the same. basically i kinda just mirror my partner.

i only do 1x1 roleplays, sorry lol. groups overwhelm me :’)

i use (parentheses) when talking ooc

triggers

pedophilia: pedophilic ships are one thing, that i will be covering in another part of this post. but what i mean is if you’re going to say, “[]’s dad looks at them funny,” or “[]’s whoever touches them in inappropriate places,” whether in their backstory or not, i’m leaving. pedophilia triggers me bad enough that i get uncomfortable when it’s mentioned, in general.

rape: similarly to suicide- if it’s mentioned in a character’s past, then... maybe. i know scumbags exist but if you’re going to have a character get raped or attempt to rape another i’m leaving.

self-harm: if it’s really essential to the plot, then i guess you can do so with your character- just, don’t go into detail about it. other, non-self-inflicted gore of any kind is okay in any amount of detail tho.

suicide: not as lenient as the one above. you can incorporate death-by-suicide in a character’s backstory(like a family member or something) and you can include non-descriptive past attempts, but if any character actively attempts during a roleplay i’m gone.

base rules

you should tell me your rules and triggers, too- you don’t have to be so extremely detailed if you’d rather not, but i just need a basis of what you are and aren’t comfortable with. if you have a post outlining your info you should link that, too :)

don’t feel obligated to, but if you message me it’d be absolutely appreciated if you have some sort of idea of the kind of plot you want. i can provide my own plots and do have some pre-set starters, but it’s also cool if you want to provide your own or have us create one together or just go with the flow without a starting plot.

that said, once we fulfill the requirements of a plot, it’d still be cool if we could keep going and just add onto it! or if you feel like it, i’m still okay with ending a roleplay at whatever point.

pairing rules

i can do platonic, romantic, familial, and other kinds of relationships within a roleplay. ngl, i mostly focus on romantic, but if you want to try another kind of relationship don’t be afraid to say so

in any fandom, i can do cc x oc, oc x oc, and cc x cc-- while, minus the ones where i specifically say i can’t play ccs dhsnfjm. most of the time though, i’m happy to play either cc or oc

being mlm myself, i mostly focus on mlm pairings. still though, i can do wlw and straight relationships, plus relations between characters with diverse genders!

i refuse to do any pedophilic or incestual ships. if we do a pairing and it gets abusive though, i can tolerate that as long as we aren’t looking at the abuse as a good thing. and as long as the character/s getting abused get out of those situations, eventually.

also i can do aged up aus, like adult!izuocha, but i’m not going to age up a character to ship them with another one that’s already an adult.

oh and yandere makes me uncomfortable lol sorry

atla/lok-specific

ships i particularly like are zukka, sukka, meilee, korrasami, and wuko

i could probably play sokka, zuko, bolin, and mako... but like. i don’t know.

i’d prefer sticking to ocs, but i can try playing canon characters

bnha-specific

ships i particularly like are shintodo, bakutodo, izuocha, kiribaku, and tokokure.

ccs i play best are shinsou, todoroki, bakugou, and tokoyami

i can play canon characters or ocs! if it’s oc x cc i actually usually prefer being the cc, with this one. but i have like a million bnha ocs that i’m happy to use

i don’t ship any of our current villains with the ua kids! i can do villain x student if it’s an au or ocs, though

fe3h-specific

i actually.. don’t have any fe3h ships lol. maybe self-ships. but i do have a headcanoned friendship between petra, ashe, and felix, thanks to one of my playthroughs

ccs i play best are byleth, claude, linhardt, and mercedes

i can play most canon characters or ocs! ngl, if it’s oc x cc, i usually prefer being the oc.. with canon characters, i’m most well-versed in the blue lions, but i really do want to branch out

oh but i hate leonie with a passion lol. i can’t play her no matter how hard i try.

haikyuu-specific

once again i don’t have many ships in here lol... but i think kuroken n yamshima are pretty cute, when i think about it :)

ccs i play best are hinata, kenma, tsukishima, and kageyama

once agian, i can play canon characters or ocs. but ngl, i generally prefer using ocs, unless i can play tsukki or kageyama. but then again i should always work on expanding those horizons-

mlb-specific

i ship ninalya, marcaniel, julerose, marichat, and ladrien (but chatbug and adrinette are good too!)

i have 0 experience playing ccs lol. but i imagine i could play nino and marc pretty well

ngl, i prefer playing ocs over canon. but i’m willing to try playing canon!

stardew-specific

ships ships ships, as always- sambastian, abisam, sebigail, abisambastian. just... that trio.... love that trio <3

ccs i play best are sebastian, shane, abby, and alex

i’m happy playing any canon character or ocs. if it’s oc x cc? i prefer the cc.

but also pierre is weird and i have a hard time playing him so, ehh, yeah no-

Shintodo Rambles

Okay, here’s the other ship post I promised! If anyone has any other ships they wanna see me do, please tell me! I’d be happy to! Rarepairs, major pairings, if you wanna see it, just ask. This includes polyships. I mean, the fic I’ve put the most time and effort into is todokiribaku. Honestly, so long as I have some idea of what to do with it I’ll take it.

Okay, anyway! Some rambles

These two have no strong feelings either way toward each other at first

Todoroki is a bit awkward, but so is Shinsou, so the two of them just... don’t have much of anything to do with each other

Honestly, with the way the two of them are they don’t really have anything against each other but they don’t really have anything going for each other either

And sure, they have mutual friends, but Todoroki is just growing out of his “I don’t need (I’m not allowed to have) friends” phase and Shinsou is at the start of his own so really, it makes more sense to just... not talk to each other. Ever

They have similar interests but they just... neither of them really want to engage with the other.

Now, something important that must be established: Shinsou is a cryptid

Sure, after the sports festival everyone more or less knows he exists but they don’t really know that it’s him that they’re constantly seeing around. He’s someone you see out of the corner of your eye, someone you don’t really know for sure is there, but can’t shake the feeling that he is.

And of course, this leads to rumors, to dumb ideas circulating around UA. Rumors and ideas that make it to Todoroki.

Most don’t know it’s Shinsou who’s the local cryptid, mind you. Most people just know there’s a student on the UA campus that no one can ever seem to pin down, or at least they assume the mentioned person is a student. One glance and he’ll be there, one more and he’s gone. Who is he? Does he really exist? All real and regular questions

(More under the cut)

So, local conspiracy theorist, definitely into cryptids even though he won’t admit it, Todoroki Shouto, is of course interested. Extremely.

He simply must know more about the UA cryptid. But how would he find out more

He has no names to work off of, he doesn’t know the quirks of anyone really outside of his own class and, to a point, 1-B’s, he has nothing to work off of.

But he is nothing if not dedicated

He keeps track of every “UA cryptid” sighting, strings together all sorts of ideas about it, about what might be happening, all sorts of convoluted theories that overestimate the amount of free time Shinsou has in a given day

He’s by far the most dedicated “hunter”

Largely in part to him needing a distraction when his friends aren’t around

Blocking out nightmares and awful memories takes a lot of work, and if he’s distracted by a thousand different thoughts and loops of logic it’s harder for him to be hurt

So he spends much of his time making sure he’s up to date on every little thing

This is a fact Shinsou happens to learn by chance

He knows of his reputation, of course he does, but he never really expected to see anyone get this into it

and what can he say, he’s curious to see what the class A pretty boy thinks of his antics

He and Midoriya are already friends, there’s no harm in using that friendship to see what exactly is going on in Todoroki’s little head

and one lunch, when Todoroki’s investigations happen to come up while he’s around, he sees his in

He asks to hear more

Todoroki has never had someone actually want to hear about his theories, never had someone express genuine interest, so he’s thrilled

However, they have classes to attend, and he has too many thoughts to get into it right then, so they agree to meet outside once the day is done

Todoroki is eager to launch into all of his thoughts and ideas, he’s so excited. His thoughts and theories are exceptionally convoluted and entirely improbable, although some things Shinsou has to concede would be pretty damn cool if he actually did

With how much passion Todoroki has for it, their after school chats become a more regular thing, and they expand out of just talking about theories

They talk about their lives, how classes are going, and even, eventually, their own sordid childhoods. Shinsou also teaches Todoroki slang, common phrases, the occasional meme.

They tell each other dark jokes, and talk about cats quite a bit

Especially since cats seem to be drawn to Todoroki, somehow getting onto campus so they can nuzzle right up against his warm side

All in all, the two get incredibly close

And as time goes on, Shinsou realizes that he finds Todoroki’s convoluted rambles to be adorable, realizes every time he hears him talk there’s a fond smile on his face

He realizes pretty quick that he’s caught feelings

Because never before in his life has he cherished vulnerable moments so much, has he paid this much attention to every little word someone said, to know that he’s one of the only people who can the Todoroki Shouto to gleefully ramble

Because the other boy is like an excited puppy when they talk, practically bouncing on his heels like yes yes hear me out on this oh my god I’m so happy someone is hearing me out on this I love you you’re an amazing friend

There’s a trust there that he holds dear

So he doesn’t think much of it when he reveals that he’s the so called UA cryptid

He realizes pretty quick that was quite the mistake

Todoroki shuts down, stops talking, and just stares at him in disbelief, and, more pointedly, hurt

The excitement that had been coursing through him just moments ago was gone

After a moment, Todoroki stopped looking at him entirely

He sounded sad when he finally spoke up again, plucking at the grass by his feet.

“So that’s why you listened. That’s why you wanted to be around. Listen to the stupid little conspiracy theorist to laugh about it later” and maybe he was overreacting but being listened to like that... no one did that for him. There was no way the guy he rambled about the most actually enjoyed hearing his trains of thought, enjoyed hearing his thought processes. Get a laugh in about the things no one ever wanted to hear him talk about. Of course.

Before Shinsou can say anything to stop him, he gets up and walks away, head hung low

It takes quite awhile for Shinsou to be able to actually get the opportunity to talk to him

Todoroki stopped coming to their spot, and refused to talk to him during lunches, instead focusing on Midoriya, or one of the other members of the dekusquad

Shinsou’s been iced out, it seems

Eventually, though, within a few days, really, though Todoroki is obviously still hurt, they do talk

Shinsou explains that while it did start as him being curious to see what the other thought of him, he never did it with intent to laugh at him, and that he found Todoroki’s rambles cute

And Todoroki concedes he may have overreacted to hearing about it, but no one’s ever wanted to hear him ramble like that before, and learning that the person he talked about the most was listening to all of it, he assumed the worst

They stay as friends for awhile after that before either of them confesses

And despite realizing his feelings much later, Todoroki is the first to come clean, with a little help from Midoriya.

The dates these two go on are often cutesy, fun things, like visiting cat cafes, or going to an arcade, however Todoroki quite enjoys taking him out for fancy dinners and laughing at the all the rich people who look uncomfortable to have what looks like two random kids in their midst.

These two also go people watching a lot, stringing together elaborate life stories for the people and groups they happen to observe

and they often come to each other to have little bitching sessions, where they air out their issues with certain people, or things, without someone who will poke fun at their troubles with them

They’re good cat boyfriends

Shinsou sits on tables sometimes Todoroki sits on the backs of couches

and things are just... nice, cozy, happy, between the two of them

They love each other a lot and once they’re older, they provide each other endless support in their careers

When Shinsou gets into rough territory in his underground work, the thought of coming how to Todoroki keeps him going

And when Todoroki fails to save someone, when he reacts too slowly, when he fails, when a villain is too rough to deal with, he knows that he’s not alone

That when he gets home he can fall into Shinsou’s arms and be vulnerable

Knows he can cuddle with him on the couch, their cat Pringles in his lap, and be at ease
