AFOFA/Horror/Doll

———

Tomura isn't the most careful person in the world. He doesn't look both ways before crossing the street, and he walks around the shady parts of town with both headphones in and blaring. Sue him.

But to be fair, neither of those things are what leads to him being drugged and tied up in some freak's basement.

Tomura blinks his eyes open blearily, wincing when a bright fluorescent light sears right into his corneas. He hisses, shaking his head like a dog, and hears something metal clatter quietly somewhere in front of him. He turns his wrists and feels metal bite into his skin. Whatever's he's sitting on is metal too, cold and oddly shaped.

"Oh? You seem to have a mild natural resistance to sedatives. How unfortunate," a deep, jovial voice muses. It sounds vaguely familiar. "I would've preferred you to be unconscious for this."

A hand—latex-gloved, hell on his skin—skims over Tomura's forehead and pushes his hair back. Tomura jerks his head away, skin crawling, hands flexing. The person in front of him laughs.

Memories comes back to him in flashes. Tomura grits his teeth as he tries to parse through them. A bar, with Spinner. They went to celebrate, to get high and maybe laid if they were lucky. Tomura remembers a drink he didn't order, a sly smile from a well-dressed man in the corner. He remembers feeling flattered, flustered at the bold way the man came up to him and start to chat him up. Complimenting him, tangling gentle, considering fingers in his hair.

Everything after the third drink is blurry.

"Oh well. I suppose I'll just have to be careful. Wouldn't want to ruin the parts."

"What...the fuck," Tomura grits out, cutting his eyes open once again, ignoring the pain it brings to take in his surroundings.

He's cuffed into a steel chair, bolted to a clean concrete floor. Fancy dress shoes lead up pressed slacks to a white doctor's apron. Tomura notes, with a growing numbness, that the apron is stained rusty pink in places. Like whatever sunk into it just couldn't be washed all the way out. Tomura drags his gaze up to see rolled up sleeves, red eyes, curly white hair, and a mild smile.

It's the man he'd spoken to last night (tonight? today? yesterday?). Behind him is a black table covered in wicked looking surgical tools.

And behind that...

Tomura might be sick.

In a softer chair than the one Tomura is currently restrained in, a grisly corpse sits. It's a patchwork quilt of flesh, with several parts missing and more sewn carefully in place, the chest cavity open with a heart being mechanically beaten within. Mismatched hands, empty eye sockets, notched knees and elbows—and a blanket tucked over its lap, like it might get cold.

"You don't know how long I've been looking for the perfect shade," the man before him sighs, plucking up a lock of Tomura's hair and twirling it idly around his gloved fingers. "A bit more wavy than I'd like, but I doubt he'll mind. It's very soft, after all."

"What the fuck," Tomura repeats, his voice a wheeze. It grows in volume as he works himself into a panic, hands jerking in the clasps as he shouts, "What the fuck!"

To Tomura's growing horror, the corpse moves, as if stirred by the sound of his voice. The man glances back at it, expression blackening as he turns back on Tomura. Clicking his tongue, he sweeps up behind Tomura's chair, fiddling with something on the head. A second later, a leather strap is yanked between Tomura's teeth and buckled around his face, effectively gagging him.

"Look what you've done," the man chides irritably. "He's not ready yet, and here you are waking him up before I have him all the way assembled. Do you know how disorienting that is? How painful? And right when I'm about to put in a new part, oh—" He cuts himself off with a hiss, yanking Tomura's head back against the chair and locking another metal cuff around his neck. Tomura thrashes, but it does nothing but bruise him.

Both of them freeze when a low whine escapes the corpse's mouth, agonized. Then, in an anxious flurry, the fucking psychopath abandons Tomura to stride over to the horrible amalgamation in front of him. Gloved hands carefully raise the thing's jaw, a low, despairing moan gusting out of its mouth.

"No," it gurgles out. "Nno, Tak—d-on't..."

"Sshh," the madman soothes, picking up a cloudy glass of water and raising it gently to the thing's lips, urging it to drink. "Hush, Yoichi, hush. Go back to sleep."

The corpse—the monster—the doll, has no strength to protest. It swallows down the cloudy liquid with a whimper, and the man cradles its bared skull to his chest with a soft croon, stroking down the doll's neck as if soothing a frightened bird. Tomura can do nothing but watch as the whimpers trail off to nothing and the thing goes limp once more.

Creation safely asleep, the man whirls on Tomura with a scowl. He plucks up a scalpel from the black table, as well as a few other things before stalking back over to Tomura. "Of course one of the last pieces I need would be difficult," he says scathingly. Tomura struggles anew, screaming behind the leather strap as he tries to wrench his hands out of their restraints. A hand fists in his hair and yanks his head back, one large hand pressed ruthlessly against Tomura's forehead as the man glares down at him from above. "Unruly thing. No anesthesia, if this is how you're going to be."

He raises the scalpel and sets it to Tomura hairline, slicing in without hesitation. Tomura shrieks, muffled, as pain strikes across his brow and blood begins to spill into his eyes. The pain only spreads as the blade cuts across his skull, down his temple, and behind his ear.

Humming, the man above him smiles, as if the sight of blood is calming to him.

"Best pray that your heart gives out soon," he muses conversationally as Tomura's vision blurs, his mind nothing but a mirage of red hot agony. "If you're still alive by the time I'm done, well. Let's just say it won't be pleasant for you."

Tomura isn't religious. He doesn't believe in gods or goddesses, or even the inherent balance of the universe.

But now, he prays to whatever is listening. Prays that this bastard dies. Prays for the pain to stop. Prays that the thing in the corner, whatever it is, never has the chance to wake again.

But nothing answers him.

•°•

Izuku stands before Tomura's apartment, checking his watch. He frowns. Knocks again.

"Tomura-san? It's time for your appointment! You asked me to remind you, remember? You're going to be late!" Izuku calls, bouncing up on his tiptoes to try and peer through the peephole, even though he knows it won't work.

Huffing, Izuku rocks back on his heels and considers going down to the land lord for Tomura's second key. It's not like Tomura to ignore him completely—he didn't even shout at him to fuck off like he usually does. This silence isn't like him at all.

Brow furrowed with concern, Izuku turns to go back down the stairs, intending to get Ujiko-san to open Tomura's door—only to ram right into someone. Izuku yelps, staggering back, and looks up to see a tall, well-dressed man standing before him. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you," Izuku sputters, embarrassed. He takes a quick step back, but relaxes when the man laughs.

"No harm done. I just came by to drop off Shimura-kun's jacket." The man holds up an arm, and Izuku jolts when he sees that Tomura's hoodie is folded over it. "He left it at the bar last night. Is he in?"

"Ah—no," Izuku says after a moment, his concern growing. "You said he was at a bar last night? He's not supposed to be drinking..."

The man blinks. "Oh dear, that would explain some things. I suppose I'll leave this at the front desk for him."

"I'll come with you," Izuku blurts, hastily racing after the man as he walks away. "I was going to ask Ujiko-san to bring up his room key..."

"He's a friend of yours?"

"Tomura is...Tomura," Izuku sighs. "But I care about him. I'm really worried."

"I'm sure he'll turn up soon, there's a—" the man cuts off suddenly, and Izuku is startled to find the man staring directly at him when he looks up.

"What?"

His eyes widen, bewildered and a little flustered, when the man steps closer, a hand reaching up to brush careful fingers against Izuku's cheek. A brilliant grin curls the man's lips.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the loveliest eyes?"

He's saying that, in response to Izuku's final attack with his embers, the barest dregs of Yoichi's vestige was roused. This one last piece of his vestige remained likely because Izuku held back on his attack using Yoichi's vestige. Now that he, the base One For All quirk, has awoken, he will carry out the mission of One For All.)

Heya^^ could we get some romantic headcanons about kaiser, shidou and isagi having a artist/painter prodigy s/o?

Of course you can exclude anyone if it's too much! Anyways I hope you'll have a wonderful day or night and don't forget to hydrate^^

Notes: Hellooo! First request, I'm so happy oh my gosh. I had some trouble so I'll do the rest in separate parts, hope you don't mind!! 41°C here it's so hot omg. You stay safe and hydrated too!! Also sorry it's messy, I'm still trying to improve and I hope you'll like this! 😭

Pairing: Isagi Yoichi x Reader

Type: Headcanons

Genre: Fluff, Romance

Isagi Yoichi with an Art Prodigy S/O ♡︎

He leaves you for the damn ball.

JOKE.. I'M JOKING GUYS..

Would be the most understanding and considerate among the three. I'm not sure if Yoichi will actually understand, but he's still super supportive and would listen to you and assist you when you need any help or company.

Dates with him are so cozy and peaceful.

He'd stay in an art studio or any room at all and sketch and paint with you all day long. 

I think he'd be the type to try and draw you flowers or try to make you (+ him TOGETHER!!)

He'd be over the moon if you agreed to craft anything matching him. Something simple like paper rings, matching pins or brooches, and drawings of each other!!

Would put a drawing you made or a printed pic of you in his clear case.

His phone would be you-themed. Just you, him and your work.

Bonus: If you met as schoolmates or before Blue Lock, he'd try to make small silly doodles for you in class, and if you handed him any doodles, he'd sometimes cut them and place them in his ID case or hang them in his locker and use some of them as bookmarks.

Takes you shopping (would definitely randomly buy Art supplies that caught his eye and give them to you) or anywhere at all!!

His favourite place to stay would probably be in a café or restaurant that isn't too fancy, just somewhere with cute, homey vibes and a picturesque view.

He's TRYING to keep up with you when you invite him to paint together.. (Keyword: He's trying his best.) It definitely isn't the best thing out there but A for effort.

Tbh he always improves so quickly it's scary and makes you envious and proud sometimes..

If it bothers you and he notices, he'd act more clueless on purpose and would let you just guide him??

HAS A SEPARATE SKETCH BOOK WHERE HE KEEPS HIS DRAWINGS OF YOU!!

Made a little scrapbook dedicated to the 2 of u <3

He really REAAALLY admires you and your work.

In his eyes, you and your work are the best there are aside from soccer and being the best striker there is. He could stare at your papers and canvases hung up or scattered all day, admiring each stroke and line, even the finest ones, and looking at each shaded and highlighted area in awe.

His deep blue eyes shine so brightly when they meet your paintings and illustrations, yet no other sea of stars could replicate the shine seen in his gaze when completely in awe.  In awe of you.

When you're experiencing any artblocks or frustrations regarding it, he'd be your number one helper.

If it's a better environment and inspiration you need, he'd immediately try to take you places and show you works that you've made before for more inspo. Would try taking you to a soccer field or any open area outdoors too.

Barely knows what he's doing but he's got the spirit guys!!

During hard times, he'd be the first to go by your side and help you.

Would try to be the one to pull you out when all the stress and expectations swallow you whole (Again he's TRYING but all his attempts are most likely clumsy and slightly flawed..)

[greenhappyseed]

did... shiggy just died i-. idk what to feel. So he is not coming bach huh..... :(. OFA is gone too....

I don’t know what to feel either, anon. We really have to wait and see what comes next. But I do think Horikoshi is trying to say something about rebirth, so the rest of this post is going to be something like an elegy for the Tomura Shigaraki we knew (and what that can mean for Izuku): Why rebirth? Why is Tomura doomed? Tomura’s entire existence was tainted by AFO. Tomura can change his name, change his hair color, kill the AFO vestige, etc., but it’s impossible for him to escape AFO. How society would view him or his “redemption” is irrelevant; it’s that HE now knows his entire life, from conception onwards, was never his own. For Tomura, a happy ending is being completely free from AFO, deciding things fully for himself, and knowing his decisions are his own. It’s not a happy ending to remove Tenko from Tomura’s origin trauma only to plunge him into Twice’s “am I really me” trauma.

What AFO’s final, awful reveal showed is that even if Tomura Shigaraki became Tenko Shimura again, it’s not a rebirth. The very first cells of “Tenko Shimura’s” being were stained by AFO since AFO manipulated Kotaro into conceiving Tenko. Tenko’s parents and childhood friends were totally under AFO’s thumb. “Tenko” has no path to freedom; he has to be rebuilt from ash, one way or another.

For my own aesthetic tastes, I would very much prefer for Tenko to have agency over this. If he was going to disintegrate, I’d prefer it to be a clear choice — like Katsuki and Toshinori choosing moves that brought them to the brink of death. I don’t like the idea that Tenko had no choice in life or death, and that disintegrating is just another indignity that AFO manipulated him into. But maybe his story was always destined to be a tragedy, no matter how hard he tried to fight it.

Of course, there are ways that the spirit/consciousness of Tenko Shimura could return in a new body, and many of them do have Tenko participating actively in the process:

Phoenix quirk — Tomura disintegrates to ash so Tenko can choose to be reborn free of AFO’s distortions. (Maybe fandom was right about this theory but wrong that the phoenix was Dabi!)

Overhaul or quirk awakening - It’s possible for Overhaul (who is very much still alive and in possession of his quirk factor) to reverse the disintegration. It’s also possible that Tenko can do it himself (or that Tenko gave Izuku a quirk to do it) since Decay is half of Overhaul. Personally I don’t believe this is likely because I think Decay disappeared when AFO took control of Tomura this final time? Unclear, the end got really rushed and messy on these details for me, but if Decay is gone then it’s hard for it to “awaken.”

Rewind - The MHA standby ever since Eri’s introduction. She doesn’t have her horn anymore, so it seems unlikely, but she still has her quirk factor. The thing here is Tenko’s agency and if he would want to be rewound back to the body that AFO built for him.

All For One - Yes, Tomura could have given Izuku a quirk when they touched. What if it’s actually…All For One? Yoichi said the AFO quirk could have been the kindest in the world…and Izuku did promise to “bring it all back”… so if Tomura’s parting gift was to give the raw All For One power to Izuku, then Izuku could Overhaul and Rewind his way into healing everyone. He could borrow any quirk needed (Recovery Girl? Erasure?) use it as a tool, and then give it back because of course Izuku wouldn’t keep a stockpile for himself (absent being told he could keep a quirk). FWIW, I’d be HIGHLY amused if this happens, because it sounds straight out of a DFO fic. :)

Aura Might/OFA shenanigans - The “heroic fire” of OFA has seemingly gone out before, only to re-emerge both in the same person and in other people. I could see Tenko emerging from this fire.

Wishing energy that twists fate - Izuku and All Might both lived when they were “supposed” to die, so it could happen for Tenko too.

However, Tenko returning in a physical, corporeal form is not the only kind of rebirth that can complete his arc. It pains me SO MUCH to say this, but there’s a real chance his body doesn’t come back. Tomura fought for someone to see what was swept under the rug and understand that hero society isn’t perfect. He wanted a hero who would save him and imperfect humans like him, and he got that someone in Izuku. (He actually got it in Nana too, because of Izuku.)

Izuku Midoriya taking Tenko’s message deep into his heart and influencing all the people watching him to care more about the misfits and “villains” that pro heroes can’t help is a form of giving Tenko a new life. In the same way that the vestiges extended their power decades beyond physical death, and the same way that Shirakumo’s heroic heart survived his death and Nomu-fication, Izuku can keep Tenko’s spirit alive long after his body died. Maybe Tenko’s spirit is a new type of “heroic fire,” and it’s up to Izuku to keep those embers burning. It’s all in Izuku’s rewound, notably non-decayed hands.

Looking at it with this framing, you can also say Izuku gets his win AND save. Because even if Izuku couldn’t save Tenko’s physical body — and how could he if Tenko was doomed before either of them were born? — choosing to carry on Tenko’s legacy IS saving everything he could of that crying boy. It’s also far more immediate and tangible for Izuku to take on Tenko’s legacy rather than being unwittingly thrown into the 200 year old OFA-AFO fight. There’s something so poignant and human about an ending with quirkless Izuku humbly fighting for what Tenko believed in compared to celebrity #1 Billboard ranked hero Izuku with OFA. After all, Tenko and Izuku are 2 sides of a coin. Tenko could have had Izuku’s role in another life if OFA kept passing in the Shimura family.

Even the fact that Izuku never told anyone outside of Ochako, Katsuki, and All Might that he wanted to save Tenko works in Izuku’s favor. Izuku can help the whole world become the people Tenko challenged them to be and they’ll never know they’re actually fulfilling the dreams of a villain. (‘Cuz they’d be too biased to do it otherwise.) Finally, you know all the complaints that Izuku’s character has been stagnant in MHA’s third act? That he hasn’t really been challenged in his ideals? Maybe that hasn’t happened yet because it’s just starting NOW.

After all, Toshinori modeled “All Might” after Nana’s ideals, and she wasn’t known to the population at large. Izuku could follow their footsteps by modeling his hero career after Tenko’s ideals. We’d have multiple generations of Shimuras posthumously changing society for the bettter.

Look, I understand how emotions are running high. I’ve loved this series for years and I cried reading this chapter. I personally don’t love it if Tenko is gone, even though I can make narrative sense of it. It’s a tragic and bitter-barely-sweet ending for poor Tenko, whose very dreams of being a hero were engineered to sow division in his family and break his psyche instead of lift him up.

But none of us will know what it all means for a few more chapters. We could still have several more chapters before we get Tenko’s real finale. It’s nearing the end, but it’s not THE end yet. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and as always, curate your fandom spaces lovingly.

Danger First Chapter 14

Wow! It's been a while!

.

"So, Midoriya," said Ms. Kayama, "putting together anything special for the Athlete's Oath?"

Izuku looked up from what was shaping up to be a fairly in-depth analysis of the second event of a sports festival that had occurred about a dozen years ago, a sense of dread pooling in his gut.  "What?"

Ms. Kayama smiled, brows pinching together just a smidge.  "The Athlete's Oath.  You were the top scorer on the entrance exam, weren't you?  I didn't get you confused with someone else, did I?"

"Oh, no," said Izuku, as he finally managed to put Ms. Kayama's question together with facts he'd known for years.  "I forgot the Athlete's Oath."

.

"Athlete's Oath?" repeated Yoichi.  "What's the Athlete's Oath?  Was it something Eighth had to do?  Nana, do you know?"

Nana raised an eyebrow.  "I was under the impression that all of you were here when Toshinori went here."

"Yeah," said En, "but that was about a hundred years ago."

"It was not," said Hikage.  

"It was just as long ago for me."

"Sure, but he was your kid," said Yoichi.  “Everyone remembers their kid better."

Nana made a face.  She… couldn't actually dispute that.  All these years later, she could still remember things like Kotaro's first day of school with blinding clarity. 

… and Toshinori's first day at UA, for that matter.  

"It's just a little… not a speech.  A recitation.  Just a few lines about playing fair and trying your best.  Used to be the top student of the third years would do it, but I guess they must have the top students for the first and second years do it as well, now that they're televised as well."

"Is Izuku the top student, then?" asked Yoichi.  

"The only test they've had is the entrance exam," said En with a shrug.  "Ninth got top in that, so…"

"And so, Eighth's bribery has led to Ninth's downfall," said Banjo in a falsely serious tone.  

"He didn't bribe anyone!"

"Izuku got in on his own merits!"

"Jeez, you guys can't take a joke."

Nana huffed.  "I just don't understand why they're so excited about it.  It's just a tiny thing.  You can read it from a little card."

.

As always, Izuku’s first resort was research.  He searched HeroTube for compilations of the most recent UA Athlete’s Oaths, and hit play.  

He watched the videos, chewing his lip.  There was just so much to do, so much to say–  How could he capture the spirit of Plus Ultra competition, his will to win and everyone else’s, the honor of competing, the honor of speaking for his entire year, all in only a few minutes?  In only a couple days, too.  

And without stuttering.  

He was going to die.  

No, no.  That was the wrong mindset entirely for a UA student with a shiny new hero name, much less All Might’s successor!  He could do this!  He would do this!  

He’d just… break down into tears a few times first.  

.

Nana felt eyes boring into the back of his head.

“Just a thing you can read from the back of a card?” asked Yoichi.  “This guy’s been talking for ten full minutes, and I don’t think he’s going to stop anytime soon!”

“I can feel you all judging me,” said Nana, “but I’ve been dead for decades.  It’s changed.  That happens.”

“You don’t have to feel me judging you, I’m doing it out loud.”

.

Izuku stared down at the pages and pages of repeatedly crossed out lines.  

“I don’t know why I thought I could do this,” he whispered.  “I couldn’t even come up with a hero name on my own.”

.

“This really isn’t a big deal.”

“It’s a huge deal!  Do you know how dangerous public speaking is?”

Nana turned to squint at Yoichi.  “When did you ever do public speaking?”

“Probably about the same time he went to school,” said En.  

“I did go to school!  Why will you not let that go?”

“Bizarre petty grudges and jokes are pretty much the only thing we can hold onto,” said En.  “That and the quirk.”

“Seriously, though, this isn’t going to kill him.”

“It isn’t?  What happens when my brother sees him on TV?  Speaking for the hero class?”

“Oh, yeah,” said Banjo.  “That’s a thing.”

Yoichi threw up his hands.  “How did you guys forget?”

“I didn’t forget,” said Hikage.  

.

“Maybe I should ask Dad,” said Izuku.  “He probably talks to lots of people for his work…”

.

“No!” screamed all of the ghosts.  

.

“That's different than public speaking, though, isn't it?”  He let his head drop onto his open notebook, heedless of the ink and graphite getting on his face.  “At least it's only the first year speech.”

He sat up with renewed energy.

“And there's no way it’ll be worse than Endeavor's!”

.

“That's the spirit!” cheered Nana.  

“I thought we were the spirits,” said Hikage.  

“It's just an expression.”

“Are we spirits, though?” asked En.  

Banjo groaned.  “Please, kid, don't start on that again.”

.

Kaminari waved furiously from across the field as the purple-haired boy next to him did his best to hunch into his uniform and disappear.  Far behind them, Snipe sat reading a paperback novel.  “Hey!  Welcome to our awesome training montage!”

“You can't have a montage in real life,” said Jiro.  

“Watch me!” 

.

Once everyone arrived, Iida started chivying them all into a loose circle.  Well, Izuku reflected, Iida obviously wanted them in an exact circle but… even Izuku could see that was never going to happen. Then Iida cleared his throat portentously and Yaoyorozu stepped into the center.

“Thank you for coming, everyone,” she said.  “Especially those of you who aren't in 1-A, we understand this is a leap of faith, and what we're doing here is a little radical.  For today, our goals are for everyone to get to know each other and to start working out strategic teams.  So, let's start by just introducing ourselves.  I'll go first…”

.

The purple-haired boy was named Shinsou Hitoshi, and he had thus far been very reticent about his quirk. About talking at all, really, which was interesting, given his attempt at a declaration of war earlier. 

Interesting, not strange.  In a similar position of not-quite-enmity, Izuku would probably be on the lookout for potential weaknesses, too.  As long as Shinsou waited until the third event, though, that was fine.  It wasn't as if everyone in class 1-A didn't know each others’ quirks already.

That was all a very uncharitable way of thinking about Shinsou, though, and Izuku felt a little guilty thinking about things like that.  He wanted to become a hero, too.  

.

“Alright,” said Yaoyorozu, “now, remember, the first event is the elimination event.  Our researchers say we'll probably be racing, competing for some limited resource, or trying to avoid being tagged out in some way.  Even with the teachers trying to be unpredictable, the number of students does limit them.  All of the events we've been able to brainstorm favor mobility, so you want to be in a group that you can move well with. Defense is important, too.  Bakugou, at minimum, is a problem, and we have to assume the other classes will target us.”

“Bakugou's the crazy guy who chased Midoriya down at lunch the other day,” said Kaminari to Shinsou at a volume that was obviously meant to be a whisper, but fell far short of the mark.  

“He's not crazy,” protested Izuku.  “He's just.  Passionate.”

Everyone regarded him dubiously.  

.

Predictably, the groups initially split along lines of friendship, acquaintance, and obligation.  Yaoyorozu and Iida walked around for a while, trying to keep the groups more or less equal in size before settling into their own class leadership group, along with Monoma.

“A waltz of darkness and chaos,” muttered Tokoyami, barely getting out of the way of Satou, as his group, consisting of himself, Ojirou, Sero, and Hagakure, trundled towards a shadier spot.  

Hatsume laughed.  “If you think this is chaotic, wait until the sports festival!”

“She's right,” said Uraraka.  “So, Midoriya,  what do you think we should do?”

“Eh?  Me?”

“Your battle trial plan was quite impressive,” said Tokoyami.  “Your strategic acuity will cast a long shadow in the sports festival as well.”

“I don't know about that,” said Izuku.  But then he glanced at Monoma.  They probably only had about ten minutes left.  “I guess- I guess the most obvious thing is for us to be a rocket.”

.

“Ow,” said Uraraka, rubbing her head.  

“I think,” said Iida, also nursing several bruises, “we should have come up with a better way to steer before we tried that.  And brake.”

“Yeah… We did go fast, though.”

.

“But, Hatsume, your, um, your ba- your inventions–”

“Call ‘em my babies with your whole chest, grappling hook.”

“I think your babies would help any team, but that you'd do really well with Yaoyorozu.  And Uraraka and I should probably be on different teams, since we both have flight-capable quirks.  Even if we both have time-limit issues…”

“Aww,” said Uraraka, “you're probably right.  I was looking forward to working with you, though.”

“What about Fumi and me?  We can be on your team, right?” asked Dark Shadow.

Tokoyami ducked his head and tried to push Dark Shadow down.  “Don't ask questions like that.”

“I don't know if that'd be a good idea, since Bakugou's explosions can make a lot of light.”

“That just means we're destined to be arch-nemeses!”

.

Izuku sat down next to Hagakure, Aoyama, and Ashido. 

“Okay, Midori!” said Ashido.  “Come up with a super move for us!”

“I’m sure you will come up with something that sparkles,” said Aoyama.  

“Uh, um,” said Izuku, flustered.  “How about, um, Aoyama, is your laser just light?  Maybe it could go through Hagakure - if lasers going through you doesn’t hurt.”

“No, that’s one of the first things my quirk counselor tested,” said Hagakure.  “My parents wanted to make sure that all the light going through me wasn’t going to give me turbo cancer or something.  The real problem for me is that for me to do anything with my quirk, I’m going to have to be naked.  We have to wear our PE uniforms for the festival.”

“Oh, non,” said Aoyama.  “I’ve been given an allowance for my belt, surely they would give you one for your suit.  Anything else would be quite unfair.”

“Or you could ask Hatsume, see if she can make something for you that would work temporarily,” suggested Izuku.  “She’s really eager to work with everyone.  Or even just plastic clothing, from Yaoyorozu.”  They'd all have to be careful not to overtax Yaoyorozu, though.  Anything else would be unfair.  She had to save something for the final event.

“Okay, okay, okay, but what about super moves?” asked Ashido.  

“Or some things we can do during the event, anyway,” said Hagakure.

“Well, if you're with Aoyama, like I said, and his laser can go through you, that could be a really good way to get in a kind of sneak attack.  No one expects a person to be in the same area an attack just went through.”

.

“Lowest setting first, mademoiselle?” 

“Just hit me already, Twinkles!  I can take it!” shouted Hagakure from the other side of the field.  

 .

“Are- are you okay, Aoyama?” asked Izuku, after they'd tested Aoyama's laser on a number of settings.  

“Oh, oui, my quirk just upsets my stomach somewhat, you see.  And it seems as if Hagakure is, how should I say this, my natural enemy.”

.

(In truth, Aoyama was feeling ill, but not because of his quirk.  Rather, the problem was his quirk’s origin.  The man had demanded that Aoyama keep an eye on Midoriya - and, if possible, make him win the sports festival.  A minor thing, really!)

(If only Aoyama had the courage to defy the man.)

(He hoped Midoriya would be able to survive whatever All for One had planned for him.)

.

All for One sighed.  He wondered if he could find a good enough disguise quirk to take Izuku out for ice cream after he won the sports festival.  Or after he lost and was properly filled with hatred for hero society.

“Sensei?” said Ujiko.  “Are you alright?”

“No.  You're being incredibly boring.”

.

“Ashido, how acidic does your acid have to be?  And is it always the same substance, just at different concentrations, or can you make different substances, as long as they're acidic?”

“Um,” said Ashido.

.

“I think that's it for me, today,” said Ashido, sitting down.  “I'm going to have to drink, like, a dozen liters of Gatorade or something.  You're brutal for someone so cute, did you know that, Midori?”

“He'd have to be, to get through the entrance exam without using a physical quirk,” said Hagakure, dragging Ashido back up.  “Come on, we still have the gym for fifteen, and I want feedback.”

“You're both brutal.”

.

“Um,” said Izuku, sidling up to Shinsou, notebook in hand.  “Your quirk is a mind control type, right?”

Shinsou, scowled down at Izuku.  “It's Brainwashing,” he said, rather gruffly.

“Oh, wow, that's great.  Mind control quirks are actually perfect for hero work, but the stigma means hardly any heroes have one.  Like, you could stop a fight before it even started, or get villains to surrender right away, or help civilians who are too panicked to move properly, or heroes who are compromised, or who would otherwise have trouble cooperating with each other, for whatever reason.  It’s really too bad that the entrance exam is all robots.”

Shinsou stared at him.  

“Any- anyway, I've heard that some- some quirks can interact unexpectedly with mental quirks, and I've noticed you're not-  You don't seem to be using it, much, even though we have permission here, and…  Um.  Just saying, you can practice on me, if you'd like.”

“Oh!  Or me!” said Kaminari, popping up seemingly out of nowhere.  “We should test and see if you can get me when I'm in wheyyy mode, or Satou when he's powered up!”

“What does that even mean?” demanded Shinsou.  He allowed Kaminari to drag him on, however.  

“Oooooooh,” said Izuku, his plan to test out the ‘hallucination’ thing Mr. Yagi had explained all but forgotten.  “That's a great idea!  I'll take notes!”

.

“I know it's a little disappointing that we didn't get a chance to appear to Ninth,” said Nana, “but don't you think you're overdoing this a little?”

Yoichi rolled over so that he was face up in his Bog of Despair.  “No,” he said, before rolling back over.  

“Forget that,” said Third.  “Am I the only one at all disturbed by how he's picking apart all the other kids’ quirks?”

“Yes,” chorused the other ghosts.

.

Izuku stood at the classroom door for several blank minutes.  Where was everyone?  Did he… Get the date wrong?  No, there was enough security outside to defeat a small army.  Which was probably the point, come to think of it.  Was he late?  Had he missed the sports festival?  When he was the one giving the opening speech for the first years?  

Forget public humiliation, he was going to be expelled.  As soon as Mr. Aizawa saw him, he would–

“Midoriya, what are you doing here?  Why aren’t you in the prep room?” 

Izuku squeaked.  Then he registered what Mr. Aizawa had said.  “Prep room?” he repeated.  “Oh, yeah!  The prep room!  Thank you, Mr. Aizawa!”

.

Shouta sighed as his number one problem child scurried away.  How illogical…  But there would be time to work on his memory and situational awareness in the future, and it would be downright hypocritical to scold him about it now.  

He shuffled into the classroom, careful about his bandages, because he had just been scolded by Recovery Girl.  The lights buzzed when he turned them on, more obvious without the students there… although they did have competition from the roar of the crowds in the festival stadium.  

He walked over to his desk and knelt to retrieve his stash of jelly pouches, especially the coffee ones.  Which he also wasn’t supposed to have, but what Recovery Girl didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her.  Or cause her to hurt him, which was the more pertinent issue from his perspective.  If he was going to survive announcing the first year’s festival by himself, he was going to need them.  

Now weighted down, he started hobbling back to the stadium and the announcer’s box. Jelly was heavy, as it turned out.  

Recovery Girl really would kill him if she found out.  He sped up.  Not a lot.  Just a little.  Just in case.  He certainly wasn’t moving as fast as Midoriya had.

He made his way through staff passages, avoiding most of the crowds and pleasantly nodding to heroes who had been asked to come serve as security.  Finally, and in good time, too, because his stupid injured body was starting to get winded, he reached the announcer’s box and opened the door.  

“Yagi,” said Shouta, “what are you doing here?”  He shook off the sense of deja vu.

“Oh,” said Yagi, brightly.  “Young Aizawa!  I was getting worried that something had happened to you.  Principal Nezu thought that you could use some assistance here, with young Yamada being otherwise occupied.”

And so he’d replaced one loud blond with another.  He couldn’t even be that mad about it.  

“You have any training for this?” he asked instead.  

“Well, not for announcing sports events in particular,” said Yagi.  “But I have a lot of media and commercial experience and I’ve been practicing cheering on my students!”

“Right,” said Shouta, who was feeling as if he’d somehow asked a stupid question.  “Just don’t show too much favoritism.”

“Oh, I’d never!  After all,” and here he grew much more grim, “you know as well as I do, the risks of putting too much attention on young Midoriya.  Besides, young Yamada gave us a ‘cheat sheet!’”

.

Izuku, dressed in his PE uniform, stumbled into 1-A’s prep room.  

“Hey!” said Kaminari.  “It’s Midoriya!  We were getting worried about you, man!”

“Ah, y-yeah,” said Izuku.  “I wound up going to the classroom instead.”

“Huh,” said Jiro, “you’d think your quirk would have warned you against that.”

“Um, yeah,” said Izuku, “but I guess it wasn’t really dangerous to go to the wrong spot at first?  Especially since I got here okay, eventually, right?”  

There was a murmur of agreement, but with a slight uneasy undercurrent.  

“There’s not any real danger in the sports festival, either, though, is there?” asked Yaoyorozu.  

“I- I mean, there’s the danger of getting beaten up?”  And he’d been able to feel danger from wrong answers on a test before, so…  This should be the same kind of thing, right?

Yaoyorozu nodded.  “Right.  There is that.”

“Don’t worry, Midoriya,” said Uraraka, “I’m sure you’ll be fine.  We did so much studying for this, after all.”  She held up a fist.  “I’m feeling confident!  That’s for sure!” 

“Yes!” said Monoma, who twirled over with Aoyama.  “I, too, am confident that we will defeat those philistines in class 1-B, not to mention everyone else!”

“Oui,” said Aoyama, “our performance will be tres magnifique!”

“Don’t forget we have allies in other classes, you two,” said Yaoyorozu, slightly exasperated.  

“Yes,” said Monoma, “but neither of them are in 1-B.  We have the excellent Mock and the ingenious Brigid to support us.”

Ashido sighed heavily.  “Speaking of support, I sure wish I could’ve used my costume.”

“It’s to keep things fair,” said Ojiro with a shrug.

Iida power-walked into the room.  “IS EVERYONE GOOD AND READY?” he shouted, clearly as nervous as Izuku, but trying to cover it up with sheer volume.  “THE EVENT’S ABOUT TO START!  Ahem.  Where is Todoroki?”

“Oh, jeez,” said Ashido, raising a hand to her lips.  “He never came to any of our practices, so I just sort of forgot he should be here…”

Honestly, so had Izuku.  Todoroki had quite the presence, but he could also fade into the background with surprising ease.  Maybe it was just because he hardly talked?  More importantly, what had happened to him?  Was he sick?  Did he get lost like Izuku did?  Did he get kidnapped by people trying to get at his father?  Endeavor might not have the social and political weight that All Might could bring to bear, but Number Two Hero wasn’t an empty title at all.  Maybe he–

Izuku’s thoughts ground to a confused halt when Todoroki casually walked into the room.  

Oh.  He was just late.  

Todoroki stood up in front of the room, clearly intending to make some sort of address.  

“Er,” said Izuku, “Todoroki, what is it?”

“Objectively speaking,” said Todoroki, “I’m stronger than all of you.  Even if you’re all working together… even if All Might has his eyes on you, Midoriya, no matter the reason…  I will beat you.”

"Did he just… declare a rivalry with… all of us?" asked Sero, quietly.  In the hush that followed Todoroki’s words, he might as well have shouted.    

"Can you do that?" asked Kaminari.  "Is that allowed?"

.

“He's got a point,” said Banjo.  “A rival is like a nemesis, or a girlfriend, you can only have one at a time.”

“That's not true,” said Yoichi.  “You can have more than one girlfriend at a time.”

En squinted at him.  “Again, aren’t you gay?”

“Multitudes, En, multitudes.”

.

“Aw, come on, man,” said Kirishima, “do you really have to pick a fight with all of us, now?  We’re about to go on and fight anyway.  Make your statement on the field!”

“I don’t care.  I’m not here to make friends.”  He shouldered past Kirishima and left the room.  

“Uh,” said Midoriya, “that… was something.”

“Yeah,” said Jiro.  “Does he intend to just wait in the hall or something?  We’re all going to the same place.”

Tokoyami shook his head, Dark Shadow mirroring him.  “What a mad banquet of darkness.”

.

“Wow,” said Yoichi, chuckling.  “Sometimes I forget how needlessly dramatic teenagers can be.”

All the ghosts, except Second, turned to stare at him.   

“How needlessly dramatic teenagers are?” repeated Nana.  

“Yes?”

“Have you not been sharing the same afterlife as the rest of us, or what?”

.

The class waited in the tunnel, fidgeting, bouncing, flexing, whispering.  Any minute, now, they’d be called in, to take their place on the field in front of the cameras.  

Any minute, now.  

“Is it just me,” whispered Uraraka, “or is this taking a really long time?”

“I am sure our eagerness is only making time appear to be passing more slowly than it really is!” said Iida.  

“No,” said Monoma, frowning, “they really are starting late.  I wonder if it’s a problem with the cameras, or if something else happened.  Midoriya, have you noticed anything?”

Izuku shook his head.  “I d-don’t think so? Just, um, just nervous for the event!  I think.  I hope nothing’s– nothing’s gone wrong.”

.

Shouta and Yagi bent their heads over Hizashi’s so-called cheat sheet.  

“I’m not reading this,” said Shouta.  

“This is…  I thought we were supposed to avoid favoritism in these things,” said Yagi, sounding incredibly confused.  “What– What’s this about a ruthless grand battle?  That doesn’t really… sound heroic…”

“Yeah, this is just typical Hizashi.  Trash it and come up with one of those inspiring speeches you like so much.”

.

The intercom speakers crackled into life overhead.  

“Welcome to the UA Sports Festival!”

“Is that…?”

“All Might!” squeaked a Gen Ed student several rows back.  

“The once-a-year event where our new students show how they can go PLUS ULTRA!”

The crowd outside, in the stadium, cheered wildly.  

“First, put your hands together for a class that has already faced some of the worst the world of villains has to offer and PERSEVERED!  Class 1-A!”

Somehow, they managed to turn their initial rushed stumble into a confident march before they emerged from the mouth of the tunnel.  Izuku squinted against the light at first, but recovered quickly and attempted to mimic Iida’s wave.  

“And next up, we have an equally worthy group of young heroes, who have been polishing their skills until they shine like the stars they are!  Class 1-B!”

As the classes emerged, Mr. Yagi continued to read out names and short accolades, and Izuku started to feel like he was about to throw up.  Oh, there were a lot of people here, and once all the classes came out, he would be speaking in front of them.  

.

“Well, this is it, guys,” said Yoichi.  “The last minutes of Hisashi not knowing Izuku is in the hero course.”

“I'm still not sure why you think he doesn't know already,” said Nana, crossing her arms.  “You were listening to the conversation they had about hero names, right?”

“Are you kidding?  That's how I know he has no idea.  That was classic Hisashi, existing in his own world, having a completely different conversation than the other person.  That's why he got my lab partner deported when I was an undergrad.  He heard the word partner, and he immediately assumed our relationship was romantic.”  Yoichi shook his head sadly.  

“New question,” said Banjo.  “Did All for One ever go to school?”

“When in reality, Chan and I had only just started discussing the possibility of a QPR…”

“No, seriously, what is that guy's level of education?”

“They had to go back to China…  It was tragic.  Almost as tragic as Izuku inheriting that particular personality quirk.”

“Ew, don't talk about Ninth inheriting quirks from him,” said En.  

“I agree,” said Hikage.  

“Thank you,” said En.  

“That was indeed a tragic turn of events, Yoichi.”

“Is no one else interested in whether or not All for One graduated high school?”

“Furthermore, I believe that the danger involved in a non-ceiling vaulting and the preceeding kidnapping would trigger far more anxiety that Ninth is currently experiencing.”

“Er, thanks, Hikage, but you don't have to say ‘non-ceiling.’”

“Hey!” snapped Nana.  “Ninth's speech is starting, and I, at least, want to hear it.”

.

“Now!” said Ms. Kayama, brightly, snapping her whip to get the attention of people close to the stage.  “The athlete’s oath!  Your student representative, from class 1-A, is Wonder!”

Izuku pasted on his best smile and climbed the stairs.

Pirate's Treasure Masterlist

"So, what do you think?!" you ask your grandfather, looking over the map that has recently come into your possession. "Is it real?"

Your grandpa, a well-rounded librarian, is always the first one you turn to after discovering something new on one of your expeditions. And this is something you are certain will catch his interest.

"It looks old. Real old. Where'd you find this?" He takes it from you to get a closer look.

"In India, at some museum. I got a tip about a secret passageway hidden inside one of the old temples. Led me right to the thing." You cross your arms, feeling pretty smug about yourself.

"This map of Tsiji," he continues, "is very outdated."

"And what about that red x? Right in the center. It can't be a coincidence. And it's not marked on any other maps."

"Hmmm." Grandpa turns his gaze back to you, and then looks at the map again.

"I don't know, Y/N. I think the only way to find out is by going there."

You take the map back, smiling, "Then, it's settled."

Grandpa places a hand on your shoulder, his expression stern.

"But, Y/N, if you're really set on finding the treasure, I must warn you. This island is swarming with pirates and cutthroats. I would go with you, but you know I can't. I would be a deadweight. You will need someone to watch your back. Someone strong, who can handle the trip."

"Grandpa, I appreciate the sentiment. I really do. But I can do this myself. I promise. Besides, pirates? Come on, when have you ever seen a pirate outside of some kid's Halloween costume?"

He chuckles, "Alright, Y/N. But please, be careful. You'll never know what might happen."

You grin and kiss him on the cheek, "I will, I promise."

The next day, you've packed everything you think you'll need. Grandpa gives you one final hug, wishing you luck on your trip. As you pull up to the harbor, you're shocked to see a large ship already docked, a crew of sailors waiting to help you aboard.

Once aboard, you join the crew in helping the ship depart, setting a course for the island. The trip will take about a week, and in that time, you learn all you can about the island you're sailing to.

A couple of days into your journey, you find yourself getting close to a sailor named Yoichi, the only one on the ship who will tell you anything about the island you're going to.

"There's all kinds of rumors," he explains vaguely as he shuffles a deck of cards in his hands.

"About what?" you hum in delight. For the first time, you're actually getting somewhere.

"All kinds. They say the island is guarded by an old, powerful spirit. And that those who find the treasure will meet a horrible fate.

"You mean, they die?" you ask.

"No, no," he shakes his head. "Worse than death."

"What could be worse than death?" you then continue to question him, but he only shrugs his shoulders. "Do you really believe the treasure is out there?"

"Isn't that what you're here to find out?" he scoffs.

"Have you ever heard of anyone finding the treasure?" you inquire.

"No."

"Do you know anyone who has?"

"No."

"Have you ever even seen this place?"

"No. Look, lady. I was hired to be on this boat and help sail you out here. That's it."

"Well, what do you know about the place we're going to?! I mean, you agreed to take the money for some curiosity, right?" you continue to press, getting equally as frustrated as him.

"Alls I know is the island's dangerous. Pirates have tried and failed. And the few that have returned have told tales of monsters and spirits, and some say the whole island's cursed."

"So then someone did find the treasure!" you exclaim, getting more and more excited by the second.

"Fine," he sighs. "There's a tale of a pirate captain rumored to have found the pirate treasure. But there's no telling whether that's actually true or not."

"If he found the treasure, wouldn't people know about it?" you think aloud.

"Not if he got cursed and lost the treasure," he explains.

"How'd he lose it?" you press.

"You'd have to ask him," he scoffs. "The story goes, he had the treasure, and he was on his way back to his ship when a storm hit. The captain and the crew abandoned the ship, leaving the treasure behind. Some say he got cursed. Others say he went crazy, and now wanders the island, looking for his lost treasure."

You stare out into the ocean, taking in everything the sailor has told you. You're not sure if you believe any of it. But you can't wait to get to the island and find out.

On the last day of the voyage, Yoichi approaches you as you stand by the railing.

"You better be prepared, princess," he says, looking out over the sea.

"Oh, so now you're showing your concern for me," you smile at him.

"I'm just warning you," he says, looking past you toward the water. "This island won't be like anything you've ever experienced. It's not like your normal, everyday beach vacation. You'll need to be careful."

"Good for me I can't remember the last time I went on a beach vacation," you grin wider.

"You'll regret those words soon enough."

You laugh, turning to lean your back against the railing, facing him.

"Look, I'll admit I'm a little nervous," you confess as you clutch the knife attached to your hip. "But I can manage."

"Good," he hums, then walks away.

You're not sure what to make of his warning, but you're determined to find out what's on that island, no matter what.

As the sun sets and the ship sails into a cove, you can finally see the island. Your grandpa's friend, Takehiko, then approaches you. "Sorry, Miss, but this is as far as I'm willin' to go. I've got no idea what's out there, but I wish you good luck. We'll wait for a month, and then we'll go back. If you're not back by then, we'll assume the worst. Be safe."

You shake his hand and nod, understanding. This isn't the first time you've done something like this. As an archaeologist, you've put yourself in more than a fistful of dangerous situations. "I will, Takehiko, thank you. For everything."

"Of course, kid. Take care of yourself."

With that, you pile your backpack onto a small boat and take off towards the island, ready for whatever is awaiting you. But as you near, a fog begins to cover the water. You try to push forward, but your motor won't work. You can't see, but the fog is so thick that it doesn't even feel like the ocean. It feels like you're floating in the sky.

Eventually, you make your way to land, climb out of the boat, and pull it up onto the sand. The fog is thick, and you can barely see the palm trees.

You decide to set up camp right there, so you pull out your tent and a lantern. But no sooner do you set up your tent, than the sky begins to darken. The fog dissipates, and the moon shines through. You sigh as you sit down beside your tent and stare up at the stars above you. What the hell have you gotten yourself into now? You're all alone out in the middle of nowhere and your only possible escape is your boat with no motor.

This is going to be an interesting adventure.

welcome to ATUS, Academy of The United Souls

this is info about this one Captain Tsubasa: kid's dream AU that I have made in my head; called "傷だらけ の 愛 / Kizudarake No Ai - A love full of scars".

Where it happens is a magical school located on the foothills on mount. Fuji, being so-called "starting source of all magic on earth."

Around 1500 years ago, there were five spirits living here that created and protected life on Earth, and led it toward harmony, peace and unity: water, fire, nature, light, and...?

Yes, Darkness. after a long and power-draining battle between them, the dark spirit of the underworld decided to join the four others in spreading balance between all living beings on the planet.

But the era of Peace was short, as around 500 years later, monsters of unknown origin merged from the newly-formed caves around the mountain, causing massive destructions and terror. They crushed the plants under their feet, devoured animals and humans and dried out the waters; even the sunlight was blocked out by their enormous figures—as much as they seemed like one of the darkness spirit's creations, she hadn't done anything at all.

So, the 5 spirits decided to hide. they transferred their divinity and magic into five different gemstones, and transformed themselves into mortal humans under disguise, so the Monsters wouldn't recognize or have any value for them to kill them.

After the attack of the monsters calmed down and they disappeared Without a Trace just as how they appeared, the five "spirit-humans" who couldn't turn back to their divine selves anymore, decided to find a way of transferring magic to the Next Generations, so it could still live on even if they died. Therefore, they created a highschool, and named it "Academy of the United Souls".

Each of them formed a house, inspiring the name from the greek god of their representing element, and the emblems from their own animal companions.

POSIDRYIA — ◇

ELEMENT: water

GEMSTONE: aquamrine

ANIMAL: falcon

KNOWN MEMBERS: Tsubasa Ozora (leader), Taro Misaki, Ryo Ishizaki, Sanae Nakazawa, Asahi Fujimura

HEPHAESTE — ♧

ELEMENT: fire

GEMSTONE: ruby

ANIMAL: tiger

KNOWN MEMBERS: Kojiro Hyuga (leader), Ken Wakashimazu, Takeshi Sawada, Akane Shimizu, Yami Fujimura

DEMETHARA — ♤

ELEMENT: nature

GEMSTONE: peridot

ANIMAL: dog

KNOWN MEMBERS: Genzo Wakabayashi (leader), Mamoru Izawa, Hajime Taki, Teppei Kisugi

APOLLENOS — ☆

ELEMENT: light

GEMSTONE: citrine

ANIMAL: eagle

KNOWN MEMBERS: Hikaru Matsuyama (leader), Yoshiko Fujisawa, Kaito Miura

ERONYX — ♡

ELEMENT: Darkness

GEMSTONE: Amethyst

ANIMAL: Snake

KNOWN MEMBERS: Jun Misugi (Leader), Yayoi Aoba, Kuro Yamada

Additional info:

The first year students will gain their elements, second years can obtain a weapon, and third years are gifted with a special ability (stopping time, superhuman strength, etc).

a new leader for each house will be chosen in the end of each year, from the 2nd years that have the same element as the house representative.

Weapons are similar to ones of genshin impact's (Bow, sword, ploearm, claymore and catalytic powers)

I will make a series of polls regarding the name, gender, house and element of the main character(reader!) As the story will go on.

I will write parts of the story in different posts and link them together for a chapter. Don't expect the whole book in one night XD!

Ask for more information! That was all, bye!

(Captain Tsubasa is made by yoichi takahashi. this is just a fanmade AU including a couple of OCs and a mc (you).)

How do you think AfO will die?

Honestly I dont know. The narrative is trying so hard to tell us that he will rewind himself out of existence that I have more and more the feeling that this will not happen. And why would a author spoil how his main villain will die before it happens anyway? I still think regarding rewind afo has some ace up his sleeve. Most people thougt he was about to die in the endeavor vs afo fight, because hori made it look like it, just for afo to use rewind in the last moment. And I still refuse to believe that he didnt stole overhaul when he had the perfect oppunity to do that, but instead steals quirks he dosnt even need, like hawks wings (he can fly without wings).

If dfo is involved in his death, I hope he will do some last act out of love and sacrefice himself for izuku, afterall afo was designed after darth vader. It wouldnt redeem him as a human being, but at least maybe as a father. Maybe there will also be some kind of reuniting with yoichis spirit when he dies.

And Im still fond of my crack theory that the afo we see here is just a decoy (some kind of clone) and the real one hasnt even entered the chat yet. Maybe still chills in america. Decoy afo gets killed and in the last chapter hisashi returns from "his job overseas" (he will look different then afo, because dr. Garaki gave some hints that afo can change his appearance/his face), has a nice "welcome home" dinner with inko and izuku, izuku tells him everything that happend the last year (narrative izuku telling his story) and in a moment when both inko and izuku are distracted, we see hisashis warm smile turning a litte sinister and it ends with a close up of his palm with a hole in the center. So the real afo actually wouldnt die, he just waited for a chance to be able to retire from his villain life and made everyone believe he is dead. Yeah I know its crack, but I actually like it 🤪

the servile and the sadist

Summary: He wasn’t a nameless cyan-haired player anymore.

Characters: Hiori Yo & Alexis Ness

(A/N: So, I heard that it’s a rare pair week today and of course I’m not letting the opportunity pass to commemorate the unusual beauty of Hioness in the fandom. I don’t own anything from this franchise except for this fic of mine).

“Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting...! How can they even work flawlessly like that without even looking at each other?!” Ness exclaimed to himself as he remembered how Isagi caught the ball perfectly under his heel and made a direct shot inside the net earlier that secured their team’s victory and cemented his role as the hero of the match.

Ness couldn’t help but punch the walls in their locker room out of frustration.

Fuck.

The look on Kaiser’s face earlier. Disappointment. Anger. Frustration.

He couldn’t even help him earlier at the match.

He was totally useless.

Garbage.

Trash.

“Damn you Yoichi...!” He cursed under his breath.

It was a good thing that there were no people left in the room as they dispersed a few moments ago and headed towards the cafeteria for their celebratory dinner.

Regardless, Ness couldn’t give a damn if someone (except for Kaiser) saw him right now as the adrenaline rush and hatred were still running in his veins.

“Oh? You’re still here? I thought ya were tending to Kaiser seeing that he wasn’t in the best of spirits after the match.” A familiar voice rang out from the doorway which caught his attention, and he turned around to glare at the newcomer who dared to interrupt his own soliloquies.

Hiori fucking Yo.

It’s the damn cyan-haired player who assisted that clown Yoichi earlier and provided him with a creative pass in the latter part of the match.

“And I thought you were sticking like a gum to Yoichi seeing on how you’re eager to play by his side earlier.” He sneered at him.

Ness arched a brow at him before a cheerful, yet ruthless smile inched across his lips.

“Oh, please Ness. Do not compare me to yourself who is a subservient lackey of Kaiser.” He scoffed. “I played along with Isagi since he had a better understanding and view of the match earlier than any of you.” He added derisively.

His eyes flashed darkly at his words. “Isagi had a better understanding of the match earlier than any of us? Do not disrespect Kaiser like that you clown.”

Hiori narrowed his eyes as he finally approached him and backed him against the wall with one of his hands.

“Disrespect Kaiser? Ya really are a loyal servant towards him. What a pity. Respect is earned and so far, your so-called master hasn’t shown any of that towards us, Blue Lock players nor displayed any amazing performance except for that bicycle kick and scoring a goal which was from the scraps of Yoichi as well. So, if I were ya, I will think twice about serving him or demeaning us.” Hiori replied in a low yet dangerous voice that sent a scintillating sensation in his veins much to Ness’ chagrin.

Damn it to hell.

Since when did this mild-mannered male became assertive and blunt like this?

Ness couldn’t stop the wild heartbeat inside of his chest and the way his proximity affected him in some strange way.

He could only pray in silence that the other wouldn’t notice it.

“You just made a one, fine play with Yoichi earlier and it’s getting into your head. Give me a break.” Ness glowered at him.

His brows spoke in volumes as their eyes met.

Amethyst orbs clashing against his aquamarine irises.

They were having a staring contest for a moment before Hiori’s face broke into a condescending smirk and leaned towards with a faint whisper leaving his lips that made Ness’ eyes widen and heart almost jumped out of his throat.

“If ya needed more play from me as a proof then I ain’t refusing a challenge. But be careful or I might steal your spot as the superior midfielder in the future.”

Hiori pulled away and left Ness in the locker room who stood frozen as a statue with his words washing over his head.

He wasn’t a nameless cyan-haired player anymore.

He was Hiori Yo. The ultra sadist player from Bastard Munchen.

(A/N: Reviews are amusing so let me hear them from you).

[candlecoo]

An AU in which Izuku is Shigaraki Izuku, the middle child of the Shigaraki Brothers with Hisashi as the eldest and Yoichi as the youngest, where as his nrothers had the ability to steal or pass on their quirks Izuku had the quirk to travel through time and space like Number Five of the Umbrella Academy.

Izuku was the comic book nerd of his brothers, always deep into the realm of fiction when Quirks came into being and then one day Izuku simply vanished without a trace which triggered Hisashi's overprotective instincts to go haywire as he "lost" one of this two brothers.

In truth Izuku accidentally went too far forward in time, where he learned of ghe end of days and would go back to prevent it. Izuku would spend decades protecting the future by preventing doomsday from occurring time and time again, he remained the Comic loving Shigarski brother but he had become increasingly manic and Sparky.

Eventually Izuku comes to the present, the latest Doomsday revolves around UA of all places which leads to Shigaraki Izuku arriving in the midst of USJ and coming face-to-face with his green haired doppelganger/nephew Midoriya Izuku.

P.S. Aizawa is Shigaraki Izuku's spirit animal

I don’t have much to add to this but here’s some art!

[gentrychild]

There are no words to describe the absolute happiness it was for me to wake up and see that my favorite author had updated my favorite fic, which in turn is my favorite crossover of my two favorite fandoms. So I will just say: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

Release that Muse before it does something unspeakable to the both of us.

Here are some bribes.

After a long deliberations, I came to the conclusion that one kind of evil cycle for Izuku wasn't enough. He will have a fun evil cycle, like what happens with Iruma, and a terrifying evil cycle, where people will stop what they are doing, call AFO and beg him to pick up his son.

Todoroki Rei is a thirteen crown and a badass in general.

Technically, Natsuo and Fuyumi are on the Himura family registry while Touya and Shouto are on the Todoroki one.

All for One is probably the most reasonable and chill AFO of all the Gentryverse.

All for One has the ability to steal bloodline abilities. Yoichi used to have the ability to steal magical power.

Make no mistake, Toshinori is incredibly strong and was the One for All holder that got the closest to kill AFO... but his survival while he was being terribly weakened by the curse kinda had something to do with Gran Torino's... influence.

No matter how many times he changed school, Izuku was bullied and/or ostracized at school. He never had a real friend before.

Katsuki is adopted. Mitsuki has the same ability as Sabnock in canon. Since Katsuki and Mitsuki are still the splitting image of each other, many people refuse to believe it.

If you see a demon who doesn't have pointy ears in this fic, it means they can shift into another, technically monstrous, form.

Inko accidentally wandered into the demon world once, almost gave a heart attack to Cathleen Bates, and became a spooky ghost story because of it.

Oboro doesn't think his boss cares about him but All for One does like him, in his own "That one is mine, exists to entertain me, and if anyone touches my toy, I will rip their wings and beat them to death with them. :)" way.

Oboro is the one who prepared Izuku's outfits and he is kinda :| that Izuku always wears casual clothes at home.

Aizawa still comes from a family possessed by the spirit of the dog or whatever but he is such a cat lover that he broke every rule of reality and got Catberus.

Machia got lost in the canyon because he was looking for some wi-fi in order to watch the last episode of his favorite show. Three of them had the time to air and he watched them the next day with AFO, Izuku and Oboro in an impromptu movie session.

The younger members of the cast don't suspect it but AFO is actually a shadow of the demon he used to be back when the demon king was alive. After his death, AFO alternated between homicidal rage and long bouts of depression where he was unable to react to anything. He got better in the last century and downright cheerful in the last fifteen years or so.

My Hero Academia Chapter 419 - Design

I'm glad the chapter came today because I mistook MHA memories for the first episode of the next season

I should have checked the date

I hope this means the first episode won't be a flashback too

OooOOOooo Very nice cover

Shigaraki looks a bit weird

AGAIN

very pretty people, I really enjoy Hawks steampunk flying backpack

Ochako is so cute

Iida's dragon looks weirdly goofy

Touya is with his Papa

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY

WHY are Bakugo and Kirishima freefalling and Kirishima is not a dragon for once

Again, he'll have to get killed by both Izuku and Bakugou

truly a cockroach

Let Tomura alone, DO HIS OWN DECISIONS FOR ONCE

and not subtly manipulate him into doing what you wanted him to do

Nice to know he tried twice before Izuku to steal OFA

Unsurprisingly he wanted to hurt All Might's spirit by using Shimura's descendants

Shigaraki's sister was not corruptable ?

Truly a despicable being

I'm not surprised he had a shapeshifting quirk but I'm still wondering why he didn't use it for other stuff

Of course not after his fight with All Might

but before

What do you mean ? The quirk allowed the user to regenerate what they touched ? It was decay and regeration ? A bit like Overhaul ?

So is Shigaraki dead now ? (in Psyche )

How much does he have of OFA ? After all now there is only Izuku's will in it ? And maybe Nana still ???

Hav they all been ejected from his psyche ?

Are they all gone ?

Yoichi is apparently

I'm very confused about all that

So that's why he looked weird on the cover

HAHAHA

SHUT HIM UP TOMURA

If it's empty and pointless then just stop

Is Izuku going to fight ? Does he have any strength or OFA left ?

He truly got decayed

Poor Kid

well

I have an idea

maybe Izuku invited Shigaraki into himself

I don't know what I was thinking, of course Izuku is going to fight even if he was a bloody mass writhing on the ground

A fitting ending, CLASS 1A VS AFO

let's all end him together

and become heroes together

(If I'm wrong and Sero ends up soloing AFO, please hail our new king)

YAYYYYYYYYY

TAIL WHIP and SUGAR RUSH

NOW

Is that Monoma ?????

I don't think Ojiro and Sato injured AFO a lot but it's still better than nothing

Kurogiri's quirk will save him

OH NO IT'S YOUR DAD IZUKU

Let's all end AFO right here right now

I wonder if Shigaraki is truly dead, in the end he was "saved" by Izuku right before he passed

but it doesn't feel very good either

Todoroki, Iida, Uraraka and Bakugou should be out of the fight completely, I'm not sure about the rest of class 1-A

we'll see

this will be grand and epic
