you and Childe working together in the Fatui and being assigned a mission in Liyue one day. the thing is, the two of you are in a relationship, which none of the other Fatui know about, and now you have to pretend like you're just coworkers. both you and Childe know and accept this, albeit reluctantly, and stay away from each other unless there's reason not to for several days.
Foul Legacy, however, doesn't like that.
you've encountered Childe's Abyssal side several times, at first only after fights, but soon enough Childe would take his Foul Legacy form seemingly whenever he wanted, as long as you were the only other person around. Childe was quick to confess that in reality, he did it because of you. the Abyssal transformation put an enormous strain on Childe's body, yet for some reason whenever you were around the pain and crushing pressure of the star-stained darkness vanished.
also, Foul Legacy likes you as much as your Harbinger lover does, always chittering and scooping you into his arms whenever you happen to see him. and he hates that Childe, and by extension he, has to act like you're just some other Fatuus.
for the next several days every time Childe walks past you he has to restrain himself from pulling you in for a hug, Foul Legacy urging him to sweep you off your feet, letting out a hissing growl when Childe turns away. how dare he- how dare he ignore you, the person both he and Foul Legacy adore even beyond the prospect of conquering the world. Foul Legacy cares not for missions and assignments, just battle and blood and you, you, you.
it takes only a few weeks for Childe to show up in your room after his work is done, except not in his human form- Foul Legacy blinks back at you from your bed, tilting his head with a chirp. when you sit beside him he scoops you into his arms, claws curling under your body as he bumps his forehead against yours and chitters happily, so glad to finally hold you again. you laugh in surprise, a smile breaking across your face as you bury your hands in Foul Legacy's fluff, "You know we have paperwork to do tonight..."
Foul Legacy huffs, pouting, and simply presses you against his chest with a purr, where you can hear the steady thrum of his heart. you can already imagine Childe sighing at the sight of you and his Abyssal form cuddling together in the middle of a mission, and you yawn and lean closer, Foul Legacy cooing happily at the movement.
he's not letting you go for a bit, not when he's been deprived of your presence for so long! if Childe won't snuggle with you, Foul Legacy will for as long as he wants- in secret, of course, because he loves you and doesn't want you getting in trouble with your superiors- but still, not gonna let you go for a while <3

BKDK endgame theory
Another highly self-indulgent theory on how bkdk's gonna be endgame canonically
Disclaimer: Since I don't wanna jinx it or feel embarrassed for being so brazen about this mere silly thought of mine, I'll just keep this private until if things similar to what I've predicted became true. Otherwise, this will only be for my eyes alone.
- edited 6 Nov 2023
Fuck all of that guess I'm just gonna put it out there and let y'all have fun as I embarrass myself. Just think it's all for lolz if none of these happen, at least I have fun writing to indulge my fantasy
- edited 8 Nov 2023
So, what I think is that since hori's gonna keep giving us surprises and +u up his own game, my guess is that to clearly and subtly lock the pair without making it feel forced is to make bkdk make a promise to each other that hinted a lifelong warrant. Refer this to what toga said in her arc
It's not exactly a love confession, but what'll you feel if someone promise to dedicate their whole life in making you feel happiness, loved? I think that's love disguise in a glass case
So, how's this gonna parallel to our favourite dorks who're both so emotionally constipated and verbally poor at confessing?
Me thinks that, apparently when the boys were pushed to the extremes -- to the moment when there's literally no time affordable to think of anything else besides the most important thing they hold in their life, that the moment their body has to move on their own by instincts -- we'll finally get to see, bright as day, where their true feelings lay.
As far as we've seen, it has been clearly revealed (except for those who're illiterate or in a dilemma of spiralling denial) that on katsuki's side, Izuku's the one constantly haunting his head for the rest of his 10+ years. He'd jump into battle with him, rush in front of him to avert the blow, fight in pain to stay relevant in izuku's battle -- to the point of fighting to his death to protect his seniors and to yet remain as izuku's image of victory... all these, to atone his mistakes in mistreating Izuku.
Throughout his character growth, Katsuki had been to the extremes. What are the most extreme situations if not death itself?
After that, however, we see katsuki came back with his heart fully open (pun definitely not intended!), feelings more outwardly shown, saying thanks sincerely without hiding behind his explosive demeanor, smiling straightforwardly at his favourite idol AM 🥺
Katsuki had met his breaking point, met death itself, and came back a new man. A man who wanted to change before everything was too late. As soon as he woke up, he didn't waste time hesitating to allow further regrets, showing gratitude and humility whole-heartedly in any instant he should've done like any decent human being would.
Except, there's still one thing he hadn't yet achieve to reach a complete circle for his narrative.
Pre-war, Katsuki's biggest dread, the constant looming threat choking around his neck, was being unable to be honest and sincere to Izuku.
"But wait! He'd already stated his apology, he has no regrets left!"
Well, if you have that complain, you're not understanding katsuki well enough. Katsuki is a man of action more than his words. It's quite a common habit for Asians too to put more thoughts into action rather than just spewing beautiful words. And Katsuki, through and through, was an all-in-or-nothing kind of guy. He would never stop at just apologising. If his prior intention for reconciliation was to make himself feel better, then the integrity behind his actions and words was nullified, since that would undoubtedly negate the whole building up of his character's motivation. Moreover, it would become a huge flaw in horikoshi's writing as that would depict him in a "fake hero" spotlight as well as contradict the character's self incentive to be the bestest hero there is. I wouldn't bet hori would decide to ruin his writing like this. In fact, this is such a huge plot point for katsuki's character development that such a small blunder at this point would greatly affect the whole endgame story dynamic to his readers. Not that he'd care if he really did chose that path... I mean 🤷🏻♀️😬
Anyway, personality-wise, I'd say Katsuki would be the first person to hate that particular kind of people if he sees one. He'd definitely be disgusted of himself if he were one. That's why I wouldn't bet hori will make that blunder, because hori had been writing him as an incessantly growing character, relentlessly pushing his limits to be the best and always showed his results through visible actions.
So then, back to the point, what were left to do if he had already apologised? What more does he need to do then to further compensate?
:) As I've mentioned earlier, nothing beats the offer of a lifelong compensation, of devoting one's own time and energy willingly to the other as long as they need, or provide care and attention whenever they deserve.
"Wait. What does that even sound like tho? Doesn't that seem like a huge burden to bear??"
For Katsuki however, it's as per usual: all in or nothing!
A promise that hinted lifelong devotion though... That truly sounds like a heavy dedication to carry for the rest of one's life. Doesn't that kind of vow ring any bells? That's the only conclusion I could come to unfortunately. Because Katsuki is a perfectionist, he'll never aim at only atoning his mistakes for a "measly" 10-20 years.
But then, at what kind of situation he would promise a life-binding oath like that out of the ordinary?? Knowing our boys, there's no way they would open their ironclad mouths to say something as romantic as that out of the blue, right??
So here comes my prediction❗❗
📢 warning: take everything below with a grain of salt because at this point it's just me wildin' haha
Evidently, it's been awhile we're constantly warned about Izuku's lack-of-oxygen crisis. He was still fighting sAFO alone while Katsuki came back to focus on AFO himself.
There's a few ways things could go south from there. Afo could very well be dealt by Katsuki now with extra buffs(his new cluster moves), but Izuku was still in an unknown critical state. So while Katsuki busied himself distracting afo, Izuku could somehow got sucked into sAFO's vestige space in a moment's hesitation (or something happened that sucked him into vestige space). We might finally get our vestige space fight between Izuku and tenko & OFA vs AFO, or we could get a heartwarming talk no jutsu (as well as some sprinkle of action fights) between Izuku and Tenko. And all of these played out without the involvement of Katsuki -- as he's stuck in the physical world and is still dealing a rampaging afo. The dudebros would be happy about this. Finally they had a chance to laugh at us at being clowns for wanting katsuki's involvement in the vestige fight. But remember, hori is a troll through and through. He could troll us, he could troll the dudebros too. It's our temporary loss for not getting Katsuki fight beside izuku in afo vestige space, but we'll have something better later!
Because while all of those happen in the vestige space, apparently Tomura and Izuku's body will be out of it, falling to the ground and seemingly lifeless, out of consciousness to the eye of the people in the physical world.
I can imagine Katsuki having no time to spare while dealing with Afo as this happen. He's got to finish AFO first to get back to Izuku. And I promise you it'll not take too long for him to do that, 'cause it'll be a combo attack from IN and OUT as Izuku counter both Afo and tenko in the vestige space -- but it'll feel a bit longer in Izuku's pov as timeflow seems to be slightly different in there.
Anyhow, as Katsuki was done with afo, what do you think he'll react then when he reached a passed out Izuku? When he arrived to the scene of Izuku and Tenko on the ground, Izuku probably temporarily *not breathing* and motionless. *not breathing due to the setback of gearshift
Katsuki will be shocked and traumatized. After spilling his heart out to win AFO with/for izuku, how could he stand to win the battle if Izuku wasn't there to claim victory alongside him? He would hold Izuku's hand and kept calling out to him (maybe angrily or threatening but the words are sweet and all of it are very contrasting?👀), calling for his soul to come back. Surely he would start crying and confess all his regrets even more too. *reminder: these are only possible because all his walls were finally broken down after his revival, he's a changed man in and out.*
Then, even better! When the medic units and probably some other heroes arrived to the scene, Katsuki suddenly realised he could give Izuku cpr! He'll do it himself and think it'll work since he learnt it from emergency treating lessons, and he didn't want Izuku to leave his side but also didn't want to do nothing to help Izuku recover.
See? Plus Ultra. Katsuki giving Izuku cpr y'all. Bkdk won. All these too in front of some witnesses and recording cameras. :)
And, yeah, cuz hori is a troll, katsuki's kiss of life actually wasn't the *sole* reason Izuku came to (all for the ambiguity too, ya know ;) and besides, hori likes trolling Katsuki too, not allowing him to get what he wants)-- it was all Izuku's well-deserved victory on defeating afo and saving tenko from the vestige space that allowed him to return to his own body after the vestige world close up. In fact, Izuku didn't actually need it, he was merely away from his body to fight in the vestige space for a bit; if he won, he would eventually come back and wake up by himself, the problem of hypoxia naturally dissolved along with it.
In another words, the "kiss" was just a bonus. It's a heartfelt gift from hori-sensei to his bkdk/grateful manga readers. Because in the end of the day, it's the promise between Izuku and Katsuki that wrapped the deal of bkdk being endgame canonically. For Hori, it's a win-win situation; he could have fun building suspense over his readers, as well as finally letting his favourite boys earn their long overdue peace to be together. Also, completing both protagonist and deuteragonist narrative foil as save to win, win to save. AND not making the whole scene romantically charged, as the reason behind their actions aren't out of sexual desire nor sexual attraction, since tHis Is sTilL JusT a shOuNen mAnGa afterall. Just "bros" devoting their life to each other and occasionally hold hands to get comfortable of each other's touch because they're practicing their next combo move. 😀

masquerade! burning glances, turning heads
a gift fic for @briseise ! sorry it’s a couple days late i got gay and this got out of hand
(this is set in the same universe and occurs after this fic ! though u don’t have to read that one to understand this one hehe)
relationships: cledubs, scardubs, impdubs, ethubs, rendubs
link to read: (x)
words: 5525
Orchestral music fills the air from down the hall as Bdubs makes the final adjustments to his outfit. A new moss cloak was made just for this occasion, cutting off at his waist so as not to cause issue on the ballroom floor. It fits him exquisitely— Ren ensured only the best for his hand— framing his shoulders and flaring perfectly to the sides. Diamonds and emeralds glint in the light where they have been placed throughout the fresh moss. Flowers blossom here and there across the drapery, adding soft color to his ensemble.
He tugs at his corset, ensuring it is exactly in place— though he’s certain Scar will have secured it precisely as needed. His jewelry is triple-checked— Cleo’s handiwork— earrings, necklaces, and rings adorning him in riches. Smoothing his hands over himself, he pauses at a small golden chain dangling between a hook and his pocket. The watch it secures is pulled carefully out, Bdubs running a thumb over the edge. A gift from Impulse. A reminder of a past life that remains unforgotten. Perhaps too simple in fashion for this event, but Bdubs can’t bring himself to set it aside even for just the evening. He tucks it back into his pocket.
Finally, the last piece is picked up from the vanity and turned over in his hands. Masterfully hand-crafted by Etho himself, just for tonight. It is stunning, causing Bdubs’ breath to catch in his throat as he admires it once more. A mask, fitting to half of his face, modeled to appear as though a flurry of butterflies gracefully rest upon his cheek and brow. From the bottom dangles delicate silver chains, creating an artful semi-veil over half of his mouth.
With a soft inhale, he secures the mask to his face, the black butterflies pairing beautifully with the darker eye makeup he chose for the night.
Stepping back, he takes in his appearance in the full length mirror beside him. The tunic he wears beneath his corset is simple so as not to distract from the intricate silver-work dancing along the corset itself. His slim slacks match in burgundy color, with barely-noticeable silver pinstripes which shimmer in the light. A few more moments deliberation are given before, satisfied, he turns to make his way to the main event.
The serenade being played grows louder as he walks from his room down to the ballroom itself. The lilting melody piques and crescendos before quieting once more and ultimately falling silent. Bdubs stands just outside the doorway, clearing his throat softly before finally flitting onto the scene.
Casting his gaze about the room, he sees many figures, but recognizes very few— faces covered. Hidden from one another. A night to pretend to be someone different. A night of fantasy and illusion.
A masquerade.
