#will queue read me a bedtime story? the nightshift queue

[ofmermaidstories]

hi!! I love, love, love your in another life fics and they live rent free in my head— I remember reading surrender and being like oh, nothing can top this, but then I read something and I just !!!! words fail, like, deku and reader just circle around my brain constantly. and all your other ocs/characters too!! hana (bby must’ve been so done with deku) and kenzo and literally everyone else (even mineta ?? you got ppl to like mineta ?? the power you hold). But I’ve always wondered did deku ever ask about who the other co-writer for justin shield was? did reader and reo ever, like, get closure.

also pls pls pls give us some insight about how deku talked about reader with all might !! like he’s watching his protege fall in love !! imagine the softness the oh my god, you’re in love

also in the new chapter I keep imaging deku just coming to save reader and breaking through a wall fully berserk bec there was that one line where kenzo went “You’ll don’t that window, but knowing you it’ll have to be a hole in the wall”

idk maybe I’m projecting bec I’m a brat and also lost friendships :( but fic(s) !! so good !!

oh, hello anon. 🥺 idk how much of a consolation this is, or if it’s a consolation at all, but i am also a brat that has lost friendships over the years. with some of them it was my choice—and with others the choice was made for me. i think it’s a really common, hurtful part of being human (especially for us brats) that maybe we don’t talk about enough. ☹️ it’s definitely it’s own grief.

thank-you for all your lovely gushing. 😭🌷🌾🪲 you flatter me, lmao (i STILL get shit for including mineta, so… LOL dslkfjsdlkfj) but!! lemme have a think about your questions.

lmao, Deku and Yagi talking about Reader is in the fic, so I won’t spoil it too much (“Well,” he starts, “I believe the phrase young Bakugou used was, ‘Deku’s collected another shitty extra’”)—but I imagine Yagi is very proud of his boy. :’) Look at him, all grown up. :’))

Deku seems a bit of an investigative kinda guy, so he definitely knew that the Justice Shield team was a joint effort even before meeting Reader! He never directly asks—this is all in chapter five, but like, he sort of just picks up context clues??? Reader does not talk about Reo. Whether Reader gets any closure about him, is, well… 👀 dependant on what you’d consider closure, I guess, LOL.

(personally, outside of fiction, i don’t believe in it. :’) i think it’s another story we tell ourselves to help us push forward. that sounds pessimistic, LOL, i don’t mean it to be, nor do i think it’s a bad thing. sometimes you just have to pick the moment you let something—or someone—go, and tell yourself it’s okay)

But, berserking through a wall, you say? 🧐 would you like that???? 🥺 we can work that in—why not. 😌 sometimes it’s nice to have people belt down walls to get to us.

here’s to meeting our own heroes, Anon—who’ll break down those walls for us. 🌷💕
