#>// aaaaaaaa I can't wait to start writing a response

[brighteyedbushybrowed]

can we get headcanons on how cardinal copia would react to getting a long confessional love letter from his crush?

I love this request so much aaaaaaaa I saw someone else do a request like this so I wanted to leave it for a few days so it wouldn't seem like I was copying anyone and hopefully not be compared to them. Funny story, this one time I did a request that was similar to one someone else was done and I got hate in my inbox suggesting I was copying them lmaoooo anyway here's wonderwall

I think it's obvious that he's shocked about this

He has to read the letter a few times because he thinks he's dreaming or the letter is fake. Perhaps a cruel joke being played on him

However, the words and the emotions they stir within him just can't be fake in his mind

There's so much genuine emotion and love in everything you say in your confession that he's moved by the letter and everything you say about him

It's during this letter that he realises you've both been pining after each other for what must be over a year at this point

And he kicks himself

Because had Copia known his love was reciprocated he would have acted on his feelings far sooner and confessed to you himself

He's not sure what to do at first, however

He doesn't know if he should seek you out immediately and kiss you and lay out all of his emotions for you, or if he should write a letter in response

Copia eventually decides to write a letter in response, detailing his deep, unending, unconditional love for you

It's just as long as yours - a good 7 sides of lined paper - and more than once he had to start it over

When he's finally happy with it and gathers up the courage, he has Aether deliver it to you personally with the Cardinal's seal stamped on the back so that you know it's really him

He finds waiting for your response to be torturous

He's a patient man usually, but his anxiety and nerves make him impatient

Then it finally happens

He receives a knock at his office door a couple of days after he had Aether deliver his own confession and it's you

And oh Satanas you are a vision to behold

Dressed in your sibling of sin uniform customised to be lined with his favourite colour, the sunlight filtering through the stained glass of his window to bathe you in vibrant colours that somehow make you even more breathtaking

And are those flowers? For him?!

The smile on your face is positively radiant

Copia can't help but rush over and kiss you

Your first kiss isn't perfect like in the movies or romance novels, but it doesn't need to be

It's real and it's chapped lips and his inexperienced tongue pushing into your mouth because Terzo has always boasted about how his lovers like that so surely you'd like that too, right?

Copia shakes a little because even with you here and kissing him back and knowing you both love one another he's still scared that you're going to turn around and say that you don't feel the same way about him as he does about you

You both end up blurting out your confessions again and giggling

And Copia promises to take you out on the most amazing, spectacular first date possible

It'll take you reassuring him that you don't need grand gestures and displays of his influence to win you over, because he's already got you as long as he'll have you

I feel like I should also be putting this under a read-more so

AAAAAAAA our poor boy

When I first thought of "Oh what if Monoma actually died" my thought was that hit to the head had killed him- it was a lot worse than it looked, there were more blows, something like that. But blunt force trauma would be a lot harder to... revive?? from.

BUT A STAB WOUND- OHHHH a stab to the lung 😭😭😭 and his quirk saving him would be AMAZING, that would be such a poetic thing. His "villainous" quirk is the thing that saved him AAAAAA

Monoma 🤝🏼 Uraraka- getting stabbed by a twice clone

Also I can't get this one thought out of my head that the two were "dead" at an overlapping point and saw each other in the afterlife and- I'll just write it

"I had this dream again last night."

His classmate looked over at the blonde hero, confused as they never remembered him bringing up some reoccurring dream before.

"Explain?" Was her only response, Kendo was always quick to the point, never one to beat around the bush- a juxtaposition to Monoma.

"Well it wasn't exactly a dream, my subconscious wouldn't create this. It was more like my brain keeps replaying this memory over and over again. I don't know why." Whether Monoma knew that his classmate meant "explain the dream/memory" Kendo couldn't tell, not when talking to this particular individual.

"So it was a memory? You don't sound very sure." Kendo's face went from confused to worried as she tried to piece what he was saying together.

Monoma just kept looking up at the sky, though there wasn't a cloud in sight. Almost like he was scared to make eye contact as he talked about this.

"Well it's a strange memory. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me or thought that it really was just a dream. It's honestly easier to believe that then to think that this actually happened." Kendo said nothing, allowing him to continue.

"It was something that happened during the war," though he wasn't looking, he could see his class prez sit up straighter, "it was after I had gotten knocked out from the Twice clones. I- it was so bright, and soft. I felt like I was sitting on a cloud in the sky, on the kind of day that you go out to the park." Monoma stopped, he had never spoken of this memory out loud and now that he was doing that he sounded silly.

Kendo said nothing, waiting for him to continue as much as it silently scared her. "... I didn't think about where I was at the moment. Either I had forgotten where I should be or I had just accepted in my subconscious that I was dead.

"The strangest part about this memory, what makes me know that it wasn't a dream- because my dream would never do this- is that that Uraraka girl was there. The two of us were the only ones on that cloud and we were too tired for bickering or insults- it didn't even come to my mind to do that. We just," he finally stopped looking at the cloud that wasn't there and looked at Kendo who kept no expression on her face. "Talked."

"You talked?" She finally spoke up, assuming Monoma was done.

"Yeah." His short, wistful answer only scared her more. This conversation felt so out of place with her classmate. Obviously he knew how to be serious and decisive, Kendo has seen it time and time again, but now he was just... faraway. Spacey. Withdrawn from his own body, like he was still there on that cloud.

"Do you know what you talked about?" Kendo hoped he didn't have an answer, hoped he didn't know all the details, that there was some evidence that this wasn't a memory- really just a dream. But if he was certain then so was she.

Monoma looked away again and started laughing, a softer version of his usual insane laugh, "Do I? She kept going on and on about some girl. When I asked who she was talking about she just said 'The cutest girl in the world'. I said 'Who?' And she acted like it was the most obvious answer ever when she told me who she was talking about." He kept laughing like it was some fond memory and not the afterlife.

"She's a crazy one, that class A girl." Ironic who that was coming from but Kendo didn't say that. What she did say:

"And what did you talk about?" She didn't particularly care for who Uraraka was talking about, but thought it was strange that Monoma was sharing his own memory but wasn't talking about him.

Monoma stopped laughing and gave her a confused look, "What do you mean?"

"Well you said the two of you talked right? So what did you talk about?"

He sat quiet for a moment before shrugging. "I didn't say much. Thought it would be rude to interuppt.

But after a while, I felt like I was disappearing from the cloud and I suddenly woke up in the hospital bed." And they ended that conversation.

Kendo cares a lot about her classmates, she practically sees them as family and Monoma knows that, so he didn't want to want to freak her out. Monoma did talk, and Uraraka gave him plenty of open room to, she was actually kind of nice like that. But Monoma found it hard to speak sometimes, like his lungs were filled with water or something thicker and he was choking on it.

Okay so I haven't read the manga so I don't know jack, but IMAGINE with me

Monoma died in the war. Not like forever, but like how Bakugo and Uraraka (she died right? Or was close) died. How he came back to life I don't know but IMAGINE

i love this idea, and it is also ruining my life. thank you.

SPOILER WARNING

i legitimately worried that Hori may have killed Monoma off because of how long he was gone. like i heard that he got a statue, and before i saw the actual panels, i thought it was because he had straight up been killed and it was something built for him in memoriam.

that said, i love this concept (and also OUCH).

i image that, in a Monoma death au, he would have been stabbed while being taken down by the twice clones - knife straight through the lung. Monoma would die, and Aizawa would sit there knowing that he dragged two (TWO) children students straight to their deaths. it would be terrible and traumatic and great. it would probably be Copy that brought him back; his own quirk, desperately latching onto another to drag the breath into his lungs.

he wouldn't remember it, not properly. but when Monoma slept, he'd dream about choking on his own blood.

Phantom Thief Hanako-kun AU Story: Chapter 6 - Back in the Early Heist Days

Flashback time!

Let's take a pause from what happened in the previous chapter and backtrack to the past~!

We'll be mainly sticking with Kou for this.

This happened before the first chapter!

Enjoy!

---

-Phantom Thief Hanako released a heist notice to steal yet another jewel

-The detectives and police force were working together to strengthen security

-This thief was astonishingly outwitting them all if he never failed a heist

-Minamoto Kou, younger brother of Teru who is one of the top policemen, was just starting out his career as a new police officer

-His first mission was to join some police officers to capture Hanako

-Teru couldn't join the team during the heist since he was busy taking care of other more serious offenses

-So he was cheering Kou on for the time being, congratulating him on officially becoming part of the police force

-While Kou aimed to be like his brother, he admired a certain radish girl Yashiro Nene

-They didn't really know each other right now

-Before, Kou just came to visit the police station and departments to give lunch to Teru and make sure he's eating properly

-And it was a coincidence that Kou saw Yashiro with Detective Tsuchigomori as they came by at the same time

-Seeing Yashiro working hard on cases became part of his motivation to also work to fight crime along with Teru

-and so she was a Senpai to him in the field and a current acquaintance

-Kou was hoping he could get closer to Yashiro

-Preparing a small bouquet of pink flowers, he wanted to present them to her to make a good impression since they would be working together from now on

-On the day of the heist, he went to look for her with the flowers in hand

-When he found her with Tsuchigomori, he immediately went to hide behind a wall

-Kou peeked over and noticed that they were talking about the heist

-Would right now be a good time to give them?

-He stopped peeking to gather himself together before deciding to head over, feeling nervous

-Only to realize that the moment he let them out of his sight, they were already gone

-Darn, he missed his chance

-Well, it will be okay. He could see them again at the heist itself

-He tucked the flowers in his pockets

-The location of the heist was at a hotel owned by Akane

-Kou heard from Teru that Hanako would go steal from Akane from time to time

-He couldn't help but wonder how the gem collector was dealing with the situation

-Night time arrived and a small crowd gathered

-Not too many people knew of Hanako yet but already there were a few reporters at the scene and word had spread

-Kou was looking around when he accidentally bumped into someone

-"Hey! Watch the camera, Lame-ass Traffic safety Earring!"

-Kou: "Oh sorry--wait what?"

-Kou looked to see a pink haired boy with a scarf and camera on. He seemed to be around Kou's age

-Kou: "Do you know who you're talking to?"

-Mitsuba: "No. Should I?"

-Wow, this guy was testing his patience

-Kou: "Geez. Look at my uniform. I'm a police officer."

-Mitsuba: "Okay, police officer. Now could you let me go? I gotta take photos for the papers."

-Kou's eyes widened as he looked down at Mitsuba's camera he's holding

-Kou: "Oh! Are you a photographer?"

-Mitsuba: "Well I'm a journalist but I guess--"

-Kou: "THAT'S SO COOL! Sorry for bumping into your camera! What's your name?"

-Mitsuba was surprised at Kou's outburst. He felt a little embarassed all of a sudden.

-Mitsuba: "....Mitsuba Sousuke."

-Kou: "I'm Minamoto Kou! Nice to meet you! I can't wait to see all of your work!"

-Mitsuba: "I've done a few already but I'm still new at my job so my writing isn't that great."

-Kou: "That's okay! My reading isn't that great either!"

-Kou gave a thumbs up at that.

-Mitsuba: "Reading and writing are two different things. Also, I don't think you should be proud of that pff"

-Kou: "Hm? Is that so?"

-Mitsuba: "Anyways, I'll be going to the hotel rooftop to take pictures of the cityscape from there. Would you like to come along? There should still be time before the heist"

-Kou: "Sure! Let's go!"

-And so they are both at the rooftop chattering away as Mitsuba took photos with his camera

-Kou: "Huh so you like taking pictures of animals and landscape stuff. How about photos of people?"

-Mitsuba: "I do take them as well. The papers get way more media attention that way anyways."

-Kou: "How about taking one of me? I'll be the ultimate subject! Just call it 'Police Officer Minamoto Kou Makes His Debut'!"

-Mitsuba: "Hm....No thank you."

-Kou: "Aw come on! I want to be in the papers!"

-Kou tried to grab the camera from Mitsuba

-Mitsuba: "Hey wait a minute!"

-Kou: "Just a bit!"

-"Two gentlemen fighting on the rooftop? That's quite dangerous."

-Kou and Mitsuba looked over to find the the phantom thief Hanako standing near the edge of the roof

-When did he get there?

-Oh wait, did the heist start already?!

-They lost track of time!

-Kou: "Hanako!"

-Hanako: "I will be taking the treasure~"

-Hanako showed them the jewel in his hand.

-Kou: "Oh no you don't!"

-Kou rushed towards him and Hanako just dodged Kou's attacks, keeping the jewel out of reach

-As they got closer to the edge of the building, a sudden strong gust of wind burst forth

-Knocking the jewel out of Hanako's hand

-and the pink flowers from Kou's pocket

-Ah. The flowers. Kou completely forgot about them

-Both items were being blown away far apart from each other and off the roof

-Kou: "Oh no the flowers!!"

-That was Kou's immediate response

-Hanako ran and jumped to grab the flowers, dismissing the jewel

-He just jumped off the roof without a thought

-That madlad

-Kou's body moved and he managed to reach and grab onto Hanako's legs to prevent his fall from the roof

-Hanako was a bit heavy so Kou was having trouble lifting him up and they were right at the edge

-Mitsuba grabbed onto Kou and they both were able to lift Hanako up to safety

-Kou was shocked at Hanako's sudden move

-Kou: "Why did you just risk your life for a bunch of flowers?!"

-He couldn't understand

-Hanako also let that jewel drop!

-Hanako: "These are important to you, no?"

-Kou was rendered speechless at Hanako's words

-What kind of thief was that considerate?

-Hanako: "I'm sure you wanted to give these to someone. Also, I got my equipment on me so I wouldn't have fell to my death but thank you anyways"

-Hanako handed the flowers back to Kou and took a bow

-A racket of footsteps and shouts came from the door leading to the rooftop

-Hanako: "Welp, time's up, my fellow gentlemen. Perhaps we'll meet again~"

-Hanako escaped using his smoke bomb as a smoke screen

-Kou and Mitsuba coughed through it and once the smoke cleared, Hanako was gone

-The door slammed open to reveal a frantic Akane, panicked Yashiro, and a curious Aoi

-Akane: "AAAAAA NOOOOO we're too late!"

-Kou: "Huh? What are you talking about?"

-Yashiro: "Hanako made off with the jewel!"

-Kou: "Wait but I saw the jewel drop down the building. I apologize about--"

-Akane: "That must have been a fake! I prepared fake copies but he saw through my plan and still stole them anyways. He already stole the real one when I wasn't looking, since it was in a different location. That bastard thief!"

-Kou:

-Kou: "HAAAH?! Wait, why didn't I know about this??"

-Mitsuba: "Ahhh drama between the police and the gem collector once again. Why do you guys think he managed to get away?"

-Aoi: "So the rumors about Hanako were true! He's a clever mastermind!"

-Akane: "Ao-chan praising that thief....oh no no no no no that charmer did not just--"

-(Inside Akane's head of delusional fantasies):

-Aoi: "Hanako-sama! Please take me with you!"

-Hanako: "My dear sweet lady, I shall come for you as my next prize~"

[They fly and get farther away as Akane runs after them]

-Akane: [reaches out] "AO-CHAN! NO WAIT I LOVE YOU!"

-Aoi: "Hm 1 point~. Farewell Akane-kun! Please forget about me. I'm eloping with him now ♡"

[End of delusion]

-Akane: 'AAAAAAAA NO THAT CANNOT HAPPEN! IT ALL BACKFIRED!! I should not have brought Ao-chan here...Now I gotta watch out for not just that Teru bastard but also him aaaargh!'

-They were all staring at Akane leaning against the wall, agonizing

-Akane: [mumbling] " 'If we met under different circumstances, we could have been friends' my ass you thief, not when you're flirting with Ao-chan you son of a-"

-Kou: "Uh...is he okay? He's been leaning against that wall, mumbling weird stuff"

-Aoi: "He'll be okay ♡. Akane-kun's a big boy"

-Mitsuba nudged Kou

-Mitsuba: "Minamoto-kun, there's something you want to do, right?"

Kou: "Huh? Oh! Right!"

-Kou approached Yashiro who was zoning out, looking a bit troubled

-Yashiro: [mumbling to herself] "Aah~ I can't believe I got lost again...it's a good thing I found Akane-kun and Aoi along the way"

-Kou: "Um! Senpai!"

-Yashiro snapped out of her thoughts

-Yashiro: "Me?"

-Kou: "My name is Minamoto Kou. I'm a new police officer in the workforce so I'll be in your care! These are for you!"

-Kou handed the pink flowers over to Yashiro

-Yashiro: [smiles brightly as she received them] "Thank you! They're so pretty! I think I've seen you around. I'm Yashiro Nene. It will be a pleasure working with you!"

-Kou flustered as steam came out of his head and his heart felt like an arrow shot through it

-He may have developed a slight crush

-Kou: "Y-you're welcome! And I-I look forward to it too!"

-Kou turned around to see Mitsuba, trying to distract himself

-Kou: "Mitsuba! Did you get any good pictures?"

-Mitsuba, taking a look at his camera, smiled to himself

-He had taken a few photos of Kou without him realizing

-Mistuba: "Mhm. I sure did~"

---

-As Hanako walked casually through an alleyway, he heard footsteps coming closer and he stopped

-He didn't have to look back to know who it is

-This happened often enough after all

-Hanako smiled

-Hanako: "Of all the people who could actually capture me if serious, you sure don't really take me seriously."

-He turned anyways to face the person responsible for the noises

-Hanako: "Great detective Tsuchigomori."

-Tsuchigomori stood in the alleyway as Hanako figured, looking at him nonchalantly

-Hanako: "What is this, a game of catch and release?"

-Tsuchigomori: "Hmph so you really did go this way. There wouldn't be many people here after all. It's a good escape route."

-Hanako: "Why didn't you tell the police?"

-Tsuchigomori: "They need to learn for themselves. Seriously incompetent if they can't capture a single person. Besides, I realized there's more to your stealing. I haven't figured out why exactly though."

-Hanako: "Oho I see. So that's what you care about. Curious?"

-Tsuchigomori: "I'm too busy for that now. I have an apprentice to look after....who apparently got lost since she's supposed to be with me..."

-Hanako: "Oh? You have an apprentice?"

-Tsuchigomori: "I'm showing her the ropes for now. And then, she'll be taking over my place to capture you."

-Hanako: "What, great detective? Aw, I'll miss you! Things won't be the same"

-Tsuchigomori: "Oh don't worry. You'll find her to be quite a persistent one."

-Hanako: "Heh~ Interesting!"

-Hanako vanished from sight using his fancy garment and smoke bomb for the second time, saying one last thing.

-Hanako: "I'll keep that in mind."
