[galaxyacerodoesart]

Was listening to the OTGW OST and then suddenly the idea to draw the sides in the series universe happened and before I knew, I was drawing Logan as Wirt and Patton as Greg.  Is this a new AU I smell??? Who knows. Probably, pffft Didn’t really think too much about it to be an full AU since it would most likely follow the events from the show so, not much to think really, but anyway. We have Patton as Greg, Logan as Wirt, Roman as Beatrice, altough instead of a Western Bluebird he is a Brazilian Cardinal because their natural colors screamed Roman to me :v He probably got himself and his family turned into Cardinals from trying to challenge a witch or something. And Virgil is basically Greg’s frog, but I decided to make him a cat instead. Let’s just imagine Patton isn’t allergic to cats in this. c’: Virgil and Roman aren’t in the best terms in the AU because ya’know…cats and birds… Virgil is probably always trying to mess up with Roman playfully but Roman ain’t having none of that. Patton just truly believes they definitely will get along if they spend more time together tho.  Logan and Patton are half-brothers in this just like in the show, so Patton probably is younger than him, not Greg-young, but by a few years. He just acts way more childish for his age. And Logan is just trying to think logically and keep calm through this whole situation trying to get him and Patton out of this strange place they found themselves into and MAYBE help Roman if they have the time to. All While being stuck in this stupid costume he doesn’t even remember what he’s wearing it for to begin with. And in the background, we have a sneaky boi Deceit as The Beast, because c’mon, it totally fits, from the lines about The Beast from the Tavern Keeper’s song ”(…)Better be wise, and don’t believe his lies… ” From how The Beast deceits Greg in the show and lead him to believe he could save Wirt from The Unknown if he gave himself up to him. And Also Deceit always low-key gave me The Beast vibes, so It was perfect. :v Not gonna lie, Drawing Patton and Logan in Wirt and Greg outfits was the best part of this whole thing, I imagine Logan really wouldn’t be found of the hat tho, but this hat is iconic Logan, so you are stuck with it either you like it or not. Also, If for some reason you are reading all this but never watched Over the garden wall before.... What??? Are you waiting for???!?! Otgw is an amazing short series with 10 episodes that you can watch in less than 2 hours, and is simply beautiful, honestly. The characters, the backgrounds, the music, UGH. Its beautiful honestly, please give It the love it deserves.

Inko Smash!

(A toshinko fic)

>>> Chapter Index <<< 

EPILOGUE After all, the situation can only improve.

Featuring: - THE END, THIS TIME FOR REAL - IT STARTS SILLY - THEN IT GETS CHEESIER THAN CHEESE - THEN IT VIOLENTLY TURNS BACK TO SILLY WITH THE LONG AWAITED OMAKE FEATURING NONE OTHER THAN OUR FAVORITE TOILET (seriously, this one was written well before chapter 163, but I swear that if Endeavor verbally abuses poor All Might in the next chapter I’m going to wirte a full length fic about him stuck in a stinky toilet)

***

She knew it was going to be awkward. Especially because Izuku entered the apartment exactly when she was playing with the buttons in Toshinori’s shirt, giggling like a little girl – she was fixing it and he just had said something funny, seriously, nothing more.

But after all, it had to happen sooner or later, no?            

She looks at the both of them, sitting stiffly at the kitchen table, barely breathing, avoiding any eye contact.

“Dinner will be ready in a minute,” she says as cheerfully as she can. They both produce unintelligible mumbling sounds she interprets as some sort of appreciation for the announcement.

Maybe she should turn the TV on, just to have some chatter as a background noise. That could help a little. After all, the situation can only improve now.

Before she can grab the remote, the doorbell rings.

The unexpected sound seems to shake both Izuku and Toshinori from their awkwardness-induced trance, as they both stop staring at nothing and turn to her with a puzzled look on their face. As if she knew who could be at their door on a Sunday evening.

“Probably one of the neighbours,” she whispers, as she shrugs and reaches the front door.

After all, the situation can only improve.

“Good evening Miss Midoriya!”

She gasps and her first instinct is to just shut the door and never open it again but she’s so shocked that she can’t move at all. She just stares at the man in front of her.

It can’t be. There is no way it can be true.

“Mr. Tanaka…?”

“I’m so sorry to disturb you,” says Tanaka from the office. He sounds… concerned. She feels a little bit guilty for showing such a surprised face.

“But I really had to…” He drops the sentence in midway. After a few seconds of silence, he sighs heavily.

“No, sorry,” he says, “that was just an excuse. You didn’t come in the office on Thursday and Friday, and so I tried to call you to know if you wanted to come to Miss Suzuki’s retirement party… But your phone has been disconnected for days.”

Oh. She had completely forgotten to turn it on until she wrote to Izuku, and then she didn’t bother to check for lost calls or messages.

“So I thought something had happened,” he adds.

“I’m… So sorry”, she says. She really is. “I had… A situation at Izuku’s school, and then some… Parent-teacher meetings.”

Well. Technically, it’s all true. “And in the meanwhile I had lost my phone. I just got it back, I haven’t had time to check it yet. I’m really sorry,” she adds.

He seems genuinely relieved.

“I’m happy to know you’re ok,” he says, smiling.

She nods. She doesn’t know what to say next. Ok then please go away is what she’s thinking, but it doesn’t sound very polite.

“If everything’s ok,” he continues, “and you haven’t eaten yet…”

Oh no. Oh please no.

“Would you like to go somewhere and have a bite? Your son can come too, obviously, if he’s home!”

“I…”

She needs an excuse. And a good one. Maybe she can say she has an upset stomach. And that she’s not feeling well. But what if he offers to stay with her for the evening to check if she’s all right? Maybe she could say they have already eaten, just that. But then what if he asks her to just chat a bit? Furthermore, sooner or later either Izuku or Toshinori will come to check on her. No, she needs to just turn his offer down in a polite way and-

Damn. Where are her manners?

The man was worried for her. He came from the other side of the city just to check on her, and she’s leaving him on her doorstep, while she plans to harshly send him away as soon as possible.

She knows she’ll regret this probably, but isn’t it the right thing to do?

“I haven’t eaten yet, but I fear I cannot leave the house as I have guests over. Why don’t you come in and join us?”

His face brightens up as he tries to mumble something that sounds as “are you sure”, “I don’t want to impose on you” and such. But he is actually already following her in.

 She brings him to the kitchen table.

Both Izuku and Toshinori are looking at her quite puzzled.

“This is Tanaka from the office,” she says, introducing her new guest. “Mr. Tanaka, this is my son Izuku.”

They exchange a meek greeting.

Ok, that was the easy part. She turns towards Toshinori.

“And this is…”

What? My coach? My boyfriend? Mr. Yagi from the school? Mr. Toshinori from his apartment where we should have stayed? The guy I was planning to smooch tonight?!?

“A-All Might?!?”

Tanaka from the office throws himself towards Toshinori. “I’m… I… I’m such a huge fan of yours!”

And then something happens.

Toshinori snaps out of the vegetative state he was in and actually gets up to greet Tanaka, shaking his hand vigorously and patting him on the back.

“Of course you are, if you can recognize me!”

The awkwardness from just a few minutes before is gone.

“How couldn’t I? Oh my, oh my,” Tanaka says bowing his head repeatedly, “It’s such an honor! Such an honor!”

“Oh please, Mr. Tanaka, you’re going to make me blush!”

But instead of blushing he just lets out a boisterous laugh.

“Are you here because of your work?” asks Tanaka, “You’re a teacher at U.A., aren’t you?”

“Ah yes, yes, we were just… discussing something that came up during the…” He has to stop and look away for a second. His gaze meets her and they both have to focus really hard to avoid laughing. “…parent-teacher meeting we had.”

Tanaka turns towards her. “Are you sure I’m not imposing too much?”

She takes a deep, deep breath.

“I’m sure,” she says.

***

He doesn’t really know how it ended like that.

He just remembers Tanaka from the office talking his ear off during dinner. One one hand, he had a positive effect on the general mood, that’s for sure. When Tanaka started asking him about that one time when he did that awesome thing (he had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about), the boy joined the conversation, more than happy to actually correct Tanaka on this, that and some other stuff (he still had no idea of what they were talking about, though). But, on the other hand, the man simply couldn’t stop talking, and apparently he had a natural gift for turning every conversation into a boring one.

That’s more or less how dinner went. But how they ended up, all four of them, sitting on such a small couch watching Quirk Wars 2, he really doesn’t know.

Just to make things worse, Inko is sitting on the other side of the couch. Again.

He had hoped that at least they could sit next to each other and secretly snuggle just a little, tiny bit, but no, Tanaka just had to sit next to him. At least the boy hastily threw himself in between Tanaka and his mother. He appreciates it, because he has the strong impression that Tanaka from the office might have some unprofessional interest in Inko. But at the same time this means that now he can’t reach her even if he stretches his arm. At least he can look directly at her, since Tanaka is so short and the boy is slumped in his seat.

As the main character’s quirk-operated spacecraft gets shot down, all of his three couch companions let out a small gasp. It’s probably one of the most iconic scenes of the whole franchise – the hero manages to keep his spacecraft flying basically only on willpower, as the background music changes from the fast-paced battle theme to a slow, sad rendition of the princess’ theme. As he crashes down after having taken down basically the whole enemy fleet, he turns on his transmitter – he has complained to every single character in the franchise until now that radio transmissions should strictly be limited to military information – and publicly confesses his love for the princess to the whole rebel base before hitting the ground in a huge explosion.

The hero is soon going to be saved by the princess herself, but even if they all know this, his couch companions are now crying, who more (somehow unexpectedly it’s not Inko, but Tanaka), who less (the boy is trying really hard to keep his composure).

But that makes him think.

He didn’t tell Inko how he feels, did he?

He might as well do it now. He tries to get her attention, but her eyes are locked on the TV screen. Is there a way to make her turn towards him without the other two noticing it? Well, Tanaka from the office is still holding the popcorn bowl in his hands. There’s just one popcorn left, so that means he has just one chance. He takes the popcorn – Tanaka is so absorbed in the movie that he probably could have taken the whole bowl from his hands and he wouldn’t have noticed – and aims for Inko.

The popcorn falls on her head. She looks a little bit startled at first, then confused once her hand finds the popcorn. She looks around, and finally meets his gaze.

She moves her lips to ask him without really speaking, what?

I love you.

It takes her a while to process the information. When she does, she gets all embarrassed and has to hide her face in the first thing she finds – which happens to be the boy’s shoulder.

“Come on mom, he’s going to be back in a few scenes,” he says, sniffling. “You know it.”

She resurfaces from her hiding spot and looks at him. He just smiles and goes back to watch the movie.

“Such a good scene, isn’t it?” says Tanaka nudging him. “Yes,” he answers, “absolutely.”

***

She closes the door and goes out on the balcony to watch as they slowly walk away, until they disappear from her view.

In the end, Toshinori had to leave together with Izuku and Tanaka from the office. She really couldn’t think of anything not... compromising she could say to suggest that Toshinori should stay there.

It was Izuku who actually tried his best to give them the chance to be alone by blatantly asking Tanaka if he could accompany him to the dorms (”I’d feel safer with a responsible adult” he said), but Tanaka’s obliviousness to the situation was just too much. The poor man simply answered that he and All Might were more than happy to escort him to the dorms, and that was it.

She picks her phone in her hands. Maybe she should just text him to drop Izuku and Tanaka and then come back. But what if he thinks she’s too clingy? Or too forward? Or too desperate? Or all of that at once. Probably it’s better to just let him know she’s sorry for how the evening turned out and to wish him good night.

She tries to stay awake waiting for an answer, but as soon as she goes to bed she falls asleep.

She wakes up very early in the morning, her phone still in her hand. There’s a couple of messages from Toshinori telling her that she doesn’t need to be sorry, and that both Izuku and Tanaka have been safely delivered to their respective room and house.

The last message is from a few hours later and it says “let me know when you’re awake”. She knows she probably won’t fall asleep again even if she tries, so she texts him back.

“I’m awake.”

She’s quite surprised to see that he answers back almost immediately.

“Then you should probably come and open the door. You know why?”

She scrambles out of the bed and rushes towards the front door of her apartment, opening it as quick as she can.

“I’m here,” he says.

>>> THE END <<< (Like, for real) (Unless you really want to read...) THE SECRET OMAKE There are many things that bother Enji Todoroki, but rain isn’t one of them. Rain can’t even touch him. That song about a girl setting fire to the rain? Ha, it’s him. Not that he thinks about himself as a girl, hell no, he is a very manly man, thank you very much. But he clearly inspired the song. It’s catchy, by the way.

No, the rain isn’t bothering him. What is bothering him is that nature is calling, and right now he is in the middle of nowhere.

He spots what looks like a mediocre café across the street. It looks ugly and unfitted for him, but there seems to be no other place close by. To show this deplorable place his gratitude he even shuts down his pride and joy, his fiery body hair, to avoid causing unnecessary fires (apparently it’s impossible to find a decent fire insurance when you're constantly on fire. Who knew.)

He opens the door and enters. And his day is completely ruined. He’s there. Well, not in person, at least, but there’s a huge All Might plastered on the wall of the café and this bothers him way more than the call of nature. He really despises the man and he feels a surge of anger getting over him.

He tries to remember his psychiatrist’s words. Please don’t hurt me. No, not those words. The others. Whenever you feel a rage burst is coming, think about positive things.

Well. Well, the positive thing is that the All Might he’s seeing is just a fake. And what’s better, even the real one turned out to be a fake! He is the number one hero, now. Ha! The real All Might is probably gone crying under a bridge or whatever it is that sad peasants do. Probably regretting his life choices. Having a mid-life crisis. Rotting somewhere alone – at least he has a family, ha! – probably thinking “why can’t I be Endeavor”. Yes. Definitely.

“You’re a fan, too, eh?” asks a waitress who caught him staring at All Might’s picture. She clearly must have an impaired vision or more probably an impaired brain, because she didn’t recognize him.

He’s about to tell her that he’d rather die a thousand painful deaths or alternatively sit down to play a board game with his kids than being a fan of the man when she speaks again.

“You know,” she says giggling, “he comes here from time to time. He doesn’t know we know it’s him, but how couldn’t we? The number one hero enters our café and we don’t recognize him? It’s impossible.”

He grunts loudly. Definitely an impaired brain. 

“But he’s always here with someone else,” the waitress continues, “I’m not sure if it’s his girlfriend or wife? Well, they’re always sitting there in the corner flirting and having fun, so we never really gathered the courage to interrupt them to ask for an autograph for the shop. They seem so happy! Try to come here on a Tuesday, you might find him.”

And with that she just goes serving someone at a nearby table.

Perfect. Just perfect. He came here to piss and he got pissed. Guess what? He doesn’t need this ugly place to piss, he’s not going to grace this crappy shop with his bodily discharge. They’d have to beg him to if they want. He storms out of the café muttering profanities.

As he walks home, he hears an unmistakable splotching sound. Something stinky and disgusting has landed on his shoulder.

There are many things that bother Enji Todoroki, but what he’s going to have for dinner is not one of them. He’s going to have chicken for dinner, so much chicken that the whole avian world will have to beg him for mercy, that’s for sure.
