#I see dabihawks content now and a lot of the time it’s like ‘these are not the same characters’

I do not care for dabihawks

[berrybanana-arts]

Hi there!

I’m Berry! I’m 20 years old now and this is my blog! This blog is mostly SFW but *occasionally* features suggestive or angsty content so please scroll at your own discretion! (Minors, DNI, sorry!) I post for a lot of different fandoms but tend to hyperfixate on one at a time… A good fic or prompt is usually enough to recapture my interest for an old fandom of mine, though! 👀

Disclaimer on ships: I find healthy and unhealthy ships interesting- it doesn’t mean I think they *should* be together and depicted as happy in canon necessarily or those kinds of relationships are good to have in real life. I just think fictional characters who make bad decisions but are narratively linked and important for each other’s character development are interesting and make for complicated and fascinating dynamics/stories! (E.g. Catradora, BillFord, Nandermo, Darklina, Dabihawks, etc). I will reblog content (sometimes sweet and goofy aus ignoring the bad side, sometimes stuff reflecting their canon relationship, sometimes things dealing with the darker stuff) for both healthy, sweet ships and also for unhealthy but narratively interesting ships between consenting adults! I don’t ship or reblog any inc3s7 ships or ships involving minors and adults. That said, please don’t bash people for their ships on my fics or posts- just block and move on! Shipping discourse isn’t worth it.

Disclaimer on fandoms: I like a lot of fandoms! Some I have been in for a LONG time. You might even see some you don’t like, or which have creators with views we all dislike. You’ll see a big mix on my page, ranging from shows like MHA to WWDITS to OFMD to Good Omens to Gravity Falls. I don’t keep up with politics around what the creators or cast have been saying/doing (unless they are very loud… Looking at you JKR…. (Fuck JKR)) because I find Twitter deeply depressing. HOWEVER, I always tag my fandoms so if you don’t want to see a particular fandom, please block that tag and keep your internet space safe for you! That said, I don’t support transphobic or homophobic views (I am LGBTQ+ and have a hand-wavey relationship with gender myself) and don’t want to see them on my page or posts so please take those views elsewhere if you have them!

every time you respond to a song rec you seem to mention a Dabi Playlist™ (or is it multiple playlists?) and I am very inch rested in seeing the contents of the playlist(s) in question 👀 are you able to share a link or...?

I indeed have multiple playlists! and sure, I can share. Lemme grab some links

Rising from the ashes - my first one. now full of outdated headcanons / interpretations of his character, but still dear to me

Come dance with your son in hell - a playlist inspired by the reveal, focused on Dabi confronting Enji

Touya Todoroki vibes - a playlist focused on his childhood. Warning for pain™

Brother of mine, you're a masterpiece still in the making - technically a Natsuo POV playlist dedicated to his memories of Touya from childhood to the present, but I'm counting it anyway. This one hurts a lot too, if you're like me and love Natsu I know you do. sorry in advance

Then I also have a couple of Dabihawks playlists too, one that's really old and outdated, and two that are based on my fic BE. and maybe two or three other half-assed and incomplete playlists with just a handful of songs each, but I think there's enough here to keep anyone occupied for a couple of hours sfahfsajkasfk

Halloween is not that far from September, and I saw your prompts so yeah... this will lead to another request of course😏😊😊

That "Cat and Mouse" either Yandere! DabiHakws/KiriBaku you pick :>

Playing "cat a mouse" with their darling and the first one to catch her gets to do what he wants to darling😳

-💎 (anon)

♡ Thrill of the Chase ♡

(A/N: I do love your requests, darling 🥰🥰🥰 I choose to go DabiHawks for this because Bakugou would never think of it as a game, he would do so upset if you wanted to leave just to be chased 😭😭 I couldn’t find a manga that fit this idea is I just edited a manga panel of the woods)

Content Warning ⚠️: Yandere, MAFIA AU, hinted punishment, hinted NSFW, escaping

Summary: You love to run away just so that Dabi and Hawks can chase you (Yan!Dabi x Gn!reader x Yan!Hawks)

Halloween Event ➸ ♡

Masterlist ➸ ♡

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It wasn’t a game at first. The first time you, Keigo, and Dabi had played this little game of cat and mouse, you were trying to run away. You had ended up escaping through a window. Unluckily for you though, Dabi and Keigo’s mansion was in the middle of no where. It was surrounded by a forest in all ways. So you ran.

You ran through the forest as fast as you can while you knew they were chasing after you. You kept doing this, kept escaping, however you weren’t doing it to actually try and run away. You were just doing it for the chase, you loved the acceleration you got from them chasing you.

After Dabi and Keigo began to realize you weren’t actually trying to get away, they decided to make it fun for them too. You ever was able to catch you first got to do whatever they want with you. And you really enjoyed it.

Keigo glances into your room, smirking when he notices that you’re not in there. “Not here” Keigo smiles, turning to Dabi, noticing the way his eyes light up. “No flying” Dabi comments, wanting to keep the game fair.

You run through the woods, trying to keep your breath even. You stop for a moment, looking behind you wondering if they’re already trying to get you. You know they’re most likely coming to get you.

Last time Dabi ended up winning. Keigo is very determined to win this time, he hasn’t won a whole lot ever since Dabi implemented the rule of no flying as it was cheating. But he was absolutely determined to win. He was so tired of simply having to listen as Dabi got to do as he wanted with you because he won.

You run through the woods, listening to the leaves crunch underneath your feet. Then you begin hearing more crunching. Not from you though. You quickly glance behind you, not seeing which one it is, only seeing his shadow. You giggle a bit as you run, trying to speed up your pace.

He was larger than you though, and he was built. So he was able to catch up to you pretty quickly. He tackles you to the ground, sitting on top of your chest. He’s caught your wrists in his hands. You smile at his smirk.

“Caught you” Keigo says, leaning closer to you while still on top of you. Dabi throws his head back with a frustrated sigh, he was so close! Keigo helps you up before turning to Dabi with a smug expression on his face.

“I win. Now, time to deal with you, birdy”

Thank you for reading, darling!!

[eri-cheri]

Now that we have reached the last chapter of the year. It is time to do a 2020 roll call of what I like to call, “State of the Shippers”:

1. IzuOcha. Status: Placated.

-IzuOcha’s could celebrate several cute tidbits throughout the year. Mini moments as they say.

Anime Highlights: The OVA’s came in clutch with moments for shippers all around and IzuOcha is no exception. We got a cute tidbit where Izuku and Ochako bumped into each other and were flustered.

Manga Highlights: Christmas kept on giving to this fandom as the AM doll Izuku gave Ochako made many appearances. A cute fist bump between the two was also exchanged and Mina was right there bouncing with y’all.

Heroes Rising: Izuku super man carried Ochako to safety. And was Angy she was injured. Fans could enjoy the small Lois Lane moment.

Troubling Signs?: Ochako said “I would like to be excluded from this narrative” when it comes to her feelings for Deku. She’s a hero damnit! So if they are in for something, probably won’t be while they are still in school.

II. DabiHawks. Status: Yikes.

- Dabi and Hawk’s very public breakup set this fandom in disarray but also kind of disayay?

Anime Highlights: None yet. This fandom was cruelly cock blocked by Bones. Sorry DabiHawks stans.

Manga Highlights: Where to begin, my goodness. With these fans, I guess the good and the bad is a plus in this homoerotic double agent relationship. We have the notion that Dabi may have known Hawks when they were kids, which may be a positive? Hori sure loves his childhood friends. Other than that. The GIRLS WERE FIGHTIN’. Hawks is now permanently scarred by Dabi and I don’t think it was kinky folks. Tokoyami inserted himself in the middle to White Knight Hawks, Dabi broke up with him via YT expose and overall, shippers could anguish in the absolute MESS that this ship endured this year. But I’m sure that’s part of the appeal. So...yay?

Heroes Rising: They were both in it.

Troubling Signs?: The entire relationship is a troubling sign which again, is part of the appeal. Maybe Hawks will cuddle up with Dabi’s father after the war. That’s troubling! Speaking of...

III. EndHawks. Status: Yearning and Burning.

-If there’s one thing Endeavor couldn’t stop worrying about, it was his hot (in more ways than one) new side piece who probably should have looked at the fine print when signing a contract to be a recurring guest star on “Keeping up with the Todoroki’s”.

Anime Highlights: A fateful meeting finally in high definition for all our eyes to see! Hawks’s unwavering support of his biggest hero was endearing to watch and their shenanigans together spurred the anime onlies to finally jump on the biggest May-December ship in the series.

Manga Highlights: Endeavor’s admiration and concern for Hawks seeped through the pages as we entered our most exciting arc in the manga yet. Fate split these two up yet entwined their downfall together. And that Fate’s name was Dabi...or should I say ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️ or should I just say Touya!

Heroes Rising: “Don’t bite my head off, Endeavor.” Geez, can you flirt a little less loud Hawks?

Troubling Signs?: They say never meet your heroes and Hawks is in for a rude awakening. We shall see just how deep his admiration runs or if Endeavor’s past will split our dynamic duo up for good.

IV: TodoDeku. Status: “Precious”

-Shoto’s “Midoriya is in Danger” radar was highlighted in both manga and anime. 4th User’s quirk, who?

Anime Highlights: “Midoriya hasn’t returned yet.” “Where’s Midoriya?” “Midoriya! Grab my hand!” “Have some of my Soba Midoriya.” Shoto gets it. His emotional support friend is a danger magnet. TodoDeku’s also enjoyed tiny tidbits in the OVA such as a hand grabbing scene. Gotta hold tight to those crumbs.

Manga Highlights: Two Words. “Precious Friend.” Deku comes in w/o arms or legs fighting for Shoto and Shoto’s honor. These two spent the entire year worried sick about each other, and going against all odds to save each other. Precious Friends indeed. TDDK fans ate.

Heroes Rising: Shoto kicks some dog ass and then faints thinking of Deku (and Bakugo but shh. Let the shippers rejoice.) On the bright side, we have a 3rd movie coming featuring “The Three Musketeers” so shippers of TdDk can HOLD TIGHT to what’s to come.

Troubling Signs?: Shoto still doesn’t know about OFA and he’s gonna have LOTS of questions after this arc. Will Deku finally tell him? If not, it could make or break the ship.

V. TodoBaku. Status: “Shining through the city with a little funk and soul.”

-Who knew the greatest comedy duo we needed was Shoto and his hot headed “friend” or not friend? It still remains unclear to Shoto. Regardless, these two had a fun year.

Anime Highlights: “I wanna see your cute face”, disco dancing, and more fun in the provisional license training. Plus the OVA added some cute moments between the two such as Bakugo staying behind to save Todoroki during a dangerous excercise and his adorable plan neatly animated for us. I’d say TodoBaku’s really were resurgent and energized this year!

Manga Highlights: Shoto, that is not how you properly Catch a Kacchan, I’m sorry. But at least you did it you mad lad. As with Deku, Shoto spent the year worried sick about Bakugo. While the anime let us have our fun, these two were suffering in the manga.

Heroes Rising: Again, Shoto put a dog down and then fainted with Bakugo on his mind (and Deku but we ignore that. Shush.) TodoBaku’s have the 3rd movie to look forward to which is bound to have some amazing content!

Troubling Signs?: They have a lot of trauma to deal with. And a lot of Deku to worry about. I also imagine Shoto will be hurt about being left out of the OFA secret. We shall see what 2021 has to offer.

VI. KiriMina. Status: Unbreakable.

-Changing your hairstyle to match the gal who inspired you in middle school? Sorry y’all but if Mina were a guy, I’d say that’s gay af.

Anime Highlights: We got that backstory Bois. Red Riot’s origin might as well make him be called Pink Riot. Again with Hori and the childhood friends though I wouldn’t exactly call them friends. They just went to the same middle school but Kirishima was highly influenced by Mina’s Chivalrous spirit! A ship is born!

Manga Highlights: The influence is mutual! Mina creates a move based on Kirishima’s unbreakable and we all let out a collective “awwww”. Also in the war arc, we got Kirishima making sure Mina’s chivalrous spirit shines through right into Gigantomachia’s mouth! KiriMina may just be the unsung MVP’s of this arc.

Heroes Rising: They were in it.

Troubling Signs?: I can’t think of a single one. KiriMina’s can enjoy a peaceful sailing.

VII: KiriBaku. Status: Crumb Collectors.

-2020 was an uneventful year for KiriBaku but Bones made sure there were crumbs aplenty! Thank God for OVA’s!

Anime Highlights: KiriBaku’s did thrive in one episode! Kirishima reflects on the sludge incident and evolves his quirk based on inspiring words from Bakugo! Hooray! KiriBaku’s can thrive in their blossoming friendship. The OVA also has Kirishima (and Kaminari but shh) once again following Bakugo’s lead when it comes to the training excercise. How can you not? He’s so manly!

Manga Highlights: Not gonna lie. There is nothing much here this year. I did find a teeny tiny flake in Aizawa’s flashback. Kirishima and Bakugo are sitting next to each other. Oh! And at the hot pot gathering, Bakugo sits next to Kirishima! Eat your crumbs KiriBaku’s! There’s always next year!

Heroes Rising: Kirishima hangs with a lazy Bakugo and delivers the most hilarious line in the whole movie. “Silly Bakugo, there won’t be villains here!” Hahah... Silly Bakugo. Oh you~ KiriBaku’s can inhale the fact that those two sure love to hover around each other!

Troubling Signs?: With great crumbs come little responsiblity. No trouble if there’s no content! 🤔

VIII: KamiJirou. Status: Singing their hearts out 🎶

-If there’s any ship that’s coming close to canonization, I think this is it, folks! “Think of the person most important to you!” Can’t argue with Midnight!

Anime Highlights: Kaminari does non stop encouraging of Jirou and her hobbies! He works super hard to learn guitar for her sake! We love a king who can encourage his queen!

Manga Highlights: Kaminari thinks of the most important person to him and surprise! It’s Jirou! All of the feels can commence.

Heroes Rising: They were in it!

Troubling Signs?: Kaminari does love his women. And men. Kaminari overall is a huge flirt. But Jirou appears to have his heart strings. ❤️

IX: BakuDeku. Status: Rising. 👑

-Alternative Statuses include Winning, Thriving, Soaring. It’s just been non stop content this year. 2020 is truly the year for BakuDeku. The shippers can rejoice.

Anime Highlights: Three words. Be. My. Cane. The OVA’s helped fan the flames of the BkDk hearts with a surprise! Deku tops! Not only that, we got a lovely shoulder tap of encouragement in the canon material. While in season 4, Deku’s primary focus was Eri. Bakugo and Deku still had their moments to be hella gay.

Manga Highlights: Where do I even begin? I guess we’ll just cut to the chase with Bakugo Katsuki: Rising. We finally saw Bakugo’s true feelings manifest for Deku and if getting stabbed for him isn’t the ultimate showing of love, then idk what is. BakuDeku’s rounded out the year with the Volume 29 cover AND the volume 29 cover drafts to eat at our heart strings. Overall, their relationship got the spotlight in the manga this year. And we’re bound to start 2021 with a dramatic confrontation. Hand holding seems to be the key with these two and it didn’t stop with Heroes Rising...speaking of.

Heroes Rising: The entire movie. Like....yeah. That’s it. [OP, your bias is showing. You have to be SPECIFIC.] {But random criticizer in my head, if I lay out the entire plot of the movie, my post will be too long} [OP....] UGHHHH Okay okay. The POPSICLE MELTING. THE HAND HOLDING. THE CHARACTER DESIGNS OF WHAT MIGHT AS WELL BE THEIR LOVE CHILDREN. Did I mention? “It’s fine if it’s you?” CAUSE YEAH. Oh and All Might randomly officiating their wedding in their heads like idk. Isn’t it just simpler if I say the whole movie??!

Troubling Signs?: Well these two’s relationship is extremely delicate and while it has non stop soared this year, Deku might not take too kindly to Bakugo almost dying for him. Will they stop pushing each other away? Time will tell.

That’s all for this year folks! Happy Shipping and good luck to everyone next year!

Study Sessions (DabiHawks/TouKei)

Keigo knows a lot about Touya, but not the fact that he's smart. He doesn't know that Touya would intentionally fail his quizzes just to have him teach in the late afternoons.

"It's not difficult, Touya," Keigo says as he writes an activity for Touya to answer in his notebook.

"Yeah, that's why I failed," Touya says with his elbow propped on the table and his chin resting on his palm while watching Keigo.

Keigo rolls his eyes after hearing Touya's answer, "that's because you weren't listening,"

"He was boring. Just hearing his voice makes me wanna go to sleep," Touya says and slumps against the chair, "besides, I have you to teach me after lectures,"

"I don't get paid for this," Keigo says and pouts. He runs his hand through his hair and sighs, "look, you have to learn on your own. I have to look for a job next week,"

Touya stares, "why?"

"I'm not from a wealthy family like yours, Touya," Keigo answers and stares him in the eye.

"I'll pay you for teaching me," Touya says immediately. Keigo laughs and leans on the table, "My rate is high, you know,"

Touya scoffs, "I don't really care. Give me your rate, and I'll pay you. Just keep teaching me,"

Keigo shakes his head, "I was kidding. I can teach you for free even if I get a part-time job. Just not as early as this,"

Touya furrows his brows, "but that means lesser hours,"

"It's going to be fine. You're a fast learner. An hour or two should be enough,"

Touya grits his teeth, "what if it isn't?"

"You can pay a tutor," Keigo shrugs as if it wasn't a big deal. Well, it probably isn't to him but to Touya, it is.

"I don't want a tutor," Touya says and places his hand on the notebook to stop Keigo from writing, "why should I look for one when you're already here?"

Keigo leans on the chair after sighing, "I'm not comfortable taking money from you, Touya. You're my friend. It's weird,"

Friend. Touya notes as he tries to remind himself that that's all he has, friendship.

"You're not taking money from me, Keigo. I'm paying you just compensation for the time you spent teaching me," Touya says, but Keigo still shakes his head in refusal.

"it's still a no, Touya," Keigo says and moves the notebook towards Touya for him to answer.

Touya stares at it. He doesn't need this right now. What he needs is to convince Keigo to accept his offer.

"C'mon, Keigo," Touya says and pouts. He bats his lashes and acts as cute as he can, but all he receives is Keigo messing with his hair, "it's still a no,"

"What if we go with your set up and if it doesn't work, you accept my offer," Touya says, he stares at Keigo with hopeful eyes, "I'll tell you after you answer that,"

Touya nods, "okay, make the right decision, Keigo,"

Touya finishes his activity within a few minutes and slides the notebook towards Keigo, "this should tell you that I can only understand topics if it's you teaching me,"

Keigo rolls his eyes after returning Touya's notebook to him with a perfect mark.

"Fine, let's go with a month," Keigo agrees, making Touya grin.

"Right," Touya says and stands up, "come on, let's get you your yakitori before I drive you home,"

Keigo beams, and it makes Touya smile.

After a week, Keigo finally starts working before and after classes. He'd usually arrive at school tired and hungry that's why Touya would always wait for him in the lecture hall with a paper bag of sandwich and a cup of coffee.

"Your bags are growing darker with each passing day. Are you sure you're sleeping well?" Touya asks after brushing Keigo's fringe to the side.

"I don't know to be honest," Keigo says and hurriedly eats his food before their professor enters the hall, "I've been so busy with work and school that I keep losing track of time,"

Touya presses his lips together to hold back his tongue. He couldn't understand why Keigo's so stubborn about accepting his offer.

"Take care of yourself," Touya says instead and hands Keigo a bottle of water.

Keigo nods and shoves half of the sandwich in his mouth when their professor enters the class.

"I'll see you later tonight at the cafe," Keigo says as he fixes all of his stuff. He was rushing to go to work, and Touya's a little annoyed that he doesn't get to spend more time with Keigo, but he tries his best to understand.

"Wait," Touya says and grabs Keigo's hand when he was about to leave the hall.

"Touya, I don't have time for anything. If I don't-"

Keigo doesn't get to finish what he's saying when Touya gives him a paper bag, "take these with you. They're vitamins and snacks. If you're going stay up late, then you better make sure to take care of yourself,"

Touya couldn't understand the emotion that passes by Keigo's face, but he's content with the smile Keigo gives him, "thanks, but I really have to go,"

Touya lets go and watches as Keigo runs away.

Touya arrives at the cafe an hour earlier. He already ordered Keigo's favorite dessert and beverage to make sure he gets to eat. He was on his phone when he hears Keigo bang his head on the table.

"Tired?" Touya asks. Keigo raises his head and stares at him before nodding. He doesn't say anything and silently pulls out his notes, papers, and notebooks.

"What was I supposed to teach you again?" Keigo asks. He doesn't usually ask Touya because he keeps it in mind, but it seems like the stress was taking a toll on him.

"It's fine. You don't have to teach me anything today," Touya says and puts down his phone. He slides his quiz paper to Keigo and gives him a small smile.

"I got a perfect score. You don't need to teach me," Touya says but what he doesn't expect is the genuine bliss on Keigo's face when he sees it.

"I knew you were smart! You just needed to listen to the professor," Keigo says and smiles at Touya, "I'm so proud of you,"

Touya doesn't say anything. He just nods because the warmth blooming in his chest is something he can never put into words.

"What do you want to do?" Keigo asks as he takes a sip of his drink.

"What?" Touya asks.

"To celebrate, I mean, it's not a lot, but I'm really proud of you," Keigo says and smiles, "so, tell me what you want to do,"

"We don't have to do anything. You can use the spare time to study," Touya says and smiles before pulling out a few books.

"But we do that every day," Keigo says, "why don't we let loose and just do something you want today?"

Touya doesn't say anything as he tries to think of something decent to do, "go to dinner with me,"

Keigo furrows his brows, "are you sure that's all you want?"

Touya nods, "it's more than enough,"

Ever since that night, Touya didn't try to fail his subjects. He wanted to see Keigo smile, and if that means passing every quiz and exam, then he's willing to put in the time and effort to study just to hear Keigo say he's proud and happy. The deal was over, too, but Touya would always meet up with Keigo at the cafe to review together.

"I think I'm becoming stupid," Keigo says as he pulls on his hair, "I can't understand anything,"

Touya looks at Keigo's book and sees that it's been randomly highlighted, "Which part do you want me to teach you?"

Keigo raises his head and shows him a small smile, "I didn't think we'd reach a day where we exchange roles,"

"Well, you're busy with work," Touya says, "I have too much time to review,"

"You're right," Keigo says and slumps on the table, "I'm so tired,"

Touya runs his hand through Keigo's hair, "take a nap. Nothing will go through your brain if you force yourself,"

"But I still-"

"Keigo, just go to sleep. I'll make new notes for you to study," Touya says and smiles.

"But-"

"No buts Keigo," Touya sternly says and takes all of Keigo's things as he starts to take note.

Keigo couldn't do anything about so he just smiles and says, "thank you, Touya,"

Keigo silently sleeps on the table while Touya makes the notes. Once he was done, he stares at Keigo and lets his chin rest on the table, "I love you so much, Keigo,"

Keigo wakes up and sees Touya sleeping in front of him. He runs his hand through Touya's hair and stares at the notes sitting beside him, "you're not good for the heart, Touya. Keep doing all these, and I'll fall deeper,"

Keigo then silently starts to study after a few minutes of staring at Touya's sleeping figure. He was too engrossed in reading that he didn't notice Touya waking up.

"What time is it?" Touya asks after waking up.

Keigo raises his head and looks at the time on his phone, "it's already past midnight,"

"You should've woke me up," Touya says and stretches, "you need time to sleep. You still have work in the morning,"

"You looked adorable while sleeping. I couldn't find it in me to wake you up," Keigo mindlessly says while fixing his things.

"You're going to be the death of me, Keigo," Touya whispers.

"What?" Keigo asks and turns around, but Touya shakes his head, "it's nothing. Let's go. I'll drive you home,"

Keigo nods and follows Touya to his car. As Touya drives, he notices that Keigo fell asleep while leaning on the window, "you aren't even doing anything, but you're already making my heart leap,"

Touya stops in front of Keigo's apartment, but he doesn't wake him up immediately. He stares at Keigo and contemplates about confessing, but after some time, he shakes his head, "I'll content myself with what we have," he whispers to himself before waking Keigo up.

"You're home,"

Alright, so…

Some weeks ago while checking some things out around my blog, it caught my attention that I’ve reached my 1k followers milestone, and there are no words to describe how happy this made me. However, being busy with some irl things as well as server collabs...as well as being as forgetful as always, I forgot to organize anything for this…

So! Rather than hosting some event, I decided to create this appreciation post, recommending some of my favorite works from some of my favorite content creators out there, as well as some of my closest friends that have been so amazing, sweet, and supportive.

With that said, let’s get started!

@wakaoujisenhime

For you, my lord / Bakugou x Reader

Oh god, this was like having someone rip out your heart and crush it in their hands with a smile. A beautiful piece revolving around Samurai Au that those of you who enjoy some good angst will most certainly enjoy.

Warnings: Angst, Death.

The Usual / BakuDeku x Reader 

This fic? Oof, I still remember the day she came up with the idea for the plot. Beautifully written, astounding work and such a delicious plot that had me sweating like a sinner in church.

Warnings: Threesome, Public sex.

@iwaasfairy

Tricky words / Kuroo Tetsurou x Reader

This fic featuring bully Kuroo is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever read, but it also gave me an exorbitant urge to smack the guy into oblivion. If you enjoy dark content, this one is a work of art.

Warnings: dubcon, bullying, manipulation.

Shhh / Daishou Suguru x Reader

Ok, I am not exactly a Daishou fucker, but this fic managed to give me some itty little bit of Daishou brain rot apkapsjap.  

@shinsotired

Heaven sent, hell proof / DabiHawks x Reader

Now, this? This has a few of my favorite things; Dabi, Hawks, debauchery, threesomes, and monsters. The best part is that it’s a multichapter fic. 

Warnings: Mentions of Noncon, Dubcon, Yandere, threesome.

Captains + Thigh Riding

She said thigh riding and I came running. While these are small scenarios with the Hq Captains they’re just as hot as the rest of her works. My favorite one is Bokuto. :wew:

Warnings: some dubcon, public, d/s dynamic.

@soft-for-shoyo

Shark / Miya Osamu x Reader

Monster fucking, that is the tweet. This fic has the perfect balance between dark elements, smut, and a pinch of soft that just….melts you on the spot. While Reader doesn’t have a good time at the start of the fic it gets better in the end and if you’re into the merdick, this fic is for you.

Warnings: Noncon (by a third party), dubcon, monster fucking, gore.

Jack Frost!Akaashi Keiji x Reader

Watching Saz slowly feeding us this piece in the server was so good, everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to see what would happen next. So when I realized she shared it on Tumblr? I needed to add it here. A whole meal, 10/10.

Warnings: Somnophilia

@kuroos-babygirl

Smile for the camera / Aran Ojiro x Reader x Suna Rintarou

This was a pleasure to beta read for my wife. It pulls you into the story and the plot is wonderful.

Merry Christmas, I love you / Bokuto Koutaro x Reader

Another perfect mix of fluff and smut. Spending the holidays with Bokuto gone spicy. For those who love Christmas, this one has to be one of the sweetest Christmas fics for those of you who love the holidays. 

@savagetrickster

Fever / Todoroki Shouto x Reader

One of the longest, spiciest, and best fics to exist, featuring Doctor Shouto. The amount of smut in this fic is unbelievable but you.will.not.regret reading it over and over again.

Cause I’m a fool / Todoroki Shouto x Reader

Ok, this one doesn’t have smut, but the angst? delicious. The way everything is described, from the surroundings to the character’s feelings is a beautiful display of art.

@honeytama

Wanted for Pleasure / Spinner x Reader x Stain

Listen, this is one of the hottest fics I’ve ever read. Threesome fics are some of my favorites and this one will NOT disappoint you. And of course, there’s some tongue action, courtesy of Daddy Stain.

Give me more / Shigaraki Tomura x Reader

Listen, Shigaraki’s not exactly one of my favorite characters to lewd, and yet, Lauren managed to make me enjoy a fic with this crusty bastard. And boy did I enjoy this a lot.

This is also part 2 of one of her previous fics, which you can find here!

@hawks-senseis

Dear Husband / Takami Keigo x Reader

Dom!Readers weren’t my thing until I came across this little series featuring Hawks as this sweet househusband and then brrrrrrrr, Prism.exe stopped working.

@sailor-manga

Caught / Shouta Aizawa x Reader

My masochist self couldn’t stop reading this one over and over because of all the angst AND the smut in it. 

@sempiternal-amour

Tiddie Sucking / Bokutou Koutaro x Reader x Kuroo Tetsurou

The way this fic made me giggle like a madwoman...because it’s so damn good and I love fics where they play with your titties like you have no idea...ANYWAY, GO READ THIS, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

A Jolly-day, Holi-day / Suna Rintarou x Reader

This one is sfw and such an adorable fic! Personally, Christmas is not one of my favorite holidays but when I say mi corazón tagged me, my inner crybaby came out screaming like a rabid animal. Suna being so sweet and wholesome made this grinch’s heart swell.

@xplosiveboy

Incubus!Kuroo x Reader

Monster Fucking is a favorite of mine, but Incubus? Sign me the fuck up. *chef kiss*.

This little octopus blessed my existence with this fic and I will love them for eternity.

Warnings: Dubcon/Noncon, Monsters.

@rocorambles

Dream come true / Kuroo Tetsurou x Reader

Yes another Kuroo fic, I have a problem pspdkspdks. This fic...God, I have no words to describe what it was like reading it for the first time. Beautiful, depraved, and perfect. Not apt for those who are not into dark content, but for those who like it? You’ve come to the right place.

Warnings: Noncon, Yandere, Non concented Somnophilia, DDLG.

@divinewhimsy

Upright Fool / Todoroki Touya x Reader

A small warning, don't read this if Shouto's your favorite Todoroki cause you might want to smack him during this fic. Touya on the other hand? Marry me pls. A sfw, no quirks AU that you'll definitely adore.

@candychronicles

Masquerade Girl / Takami Keigo x Reader

I don't think there's a lot of glory holes fics around, but this one is a gemstone. And Hawk's character is on point, everything Candy writes is perfect.

And there you have it, folks! These are some of my favorite fics, but not all of them. Will I make a part 2 of this appreciation post? Damn right! There are so many more fics I want to show you guys, such as one of the very first ones that turned me into a monster fucker as well as the one that inspired me to write “Forgive me, Lord”. And there are so many more blogs I need to fangirl about.

Until then, enjoy your visit to the Record’s store!

With Love -Prism. ♡

tagged by my lovely mutual @tauremornalome in the first line game!

rules: list the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). see if there are any patterns. choose your favourite opening line.

tagging: @plotdesigner @shuttymcshutfuck and anyone else who wants to! (feel free to let me know if you want to be tagged next time i do one of these writing tag games — i honestly just don’t know which of you write)

okay. so the thing about my writing is that i never fucking finish it, and a lot of my wips are just a jumble of unconnected scenes. technically, i have more than 20 (unfinished) stories, but i’ll only be posting the ones that a) actually Have A First Line, and b) i hope to finish at some point in the distant future.

1. blue seas to mulberry fields (the untamed, nhs-centric, the only half decent fic i’ve ever published)

Jin Guangyao is dead.

He’s dead, run through by Lan Xichen’s sword, crushed under a hundred tonnes of rubble and debris. He is gone.

Nie Huaisang knows this. He does. But one man’s death is nothing compared to a lifetime. Compared to years of shouting for Meng Yao when he needed help. Compared to years of calling him San-ge. Compared to a decade of planning revenge.

2. theon greyjoy and the horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day(s) (working title) (game of thrones/asoiaf, theon-centric)

Theon doesn’t know when, exactly, his status in Winterfell changes from prisoner to ward.

The first time he is a prisoner is during the Siege of Pyke. He isn’t a prisoner of Winterfell, not yet. But a prisoner is a prisoner is a prisoner all the same, regardless of if he’s locked in a cell or trapped in his own home.

3. take a chance, remake the world (game of thrones/asoiaf, starks-centric)

Two years, four months, and seventeen days after his coronation, King Brandon Stark, Bran the Broken, first of his name, wakes with a purpose. His first true purpose in a long time. He must go today.

4. your place in the family of things (game of thrones/asoiaf, sansa and theon-centric)

Sansa has always prided herself on her composure. When she was a child, she had spent hours in front of the mirror perfecting her curtsy and her posture and her politest smile. She always says please and thank you and she knows her manners better than any of her siblings ever did. She does all her homework and raises her hand in class when she knows the answer (which is almost always) and earns A-stars in almost every test. She never loses her temper or complains about her workload. Her parents spent a lot of time and money to get her and her sister into this school. She knows that, and she’s grateful for it.

She’s certainly not the kind of girl who breaks down sobbing over her French notes. And yet.

5. untitled whisper of the heart au (the untamed, sangcheng and nie bros-centric)

Nie Huaisang would like to say, for the record, that he has the worst brother in the world.

Objectively, he is aware that worse people exist. Meng Yao, for one. Jin Guangshan definitely makes the cut. Jin Zixun– well, Huaisang hasn’t talked to him since the time he punched him in the face in junior middle school, but he’s sure he’s still an asshole. Maybe Jins just suck, like, as a rule. (Excluding Zixuan. Except, actually, he is kind of a dick. He’s working on it, though, so Huaisang will cut him some slack.)

But as a brother? Mingjue is the worst.

6. bastards anonymous (working title, obviously) (game of thrones/asoiaf, baratheon bastards-centric)

Gendry should have known that Secret Santa with Arya was a bad idea. It’s their first time including her in the present-giving, and they were very clear about the five pound limit. Not a one of them earns above minimum wage, except Arya. She doesn’t have a job, but her allowance is more than Gendry gets paid in a month.

7. the todorokis gtfo (working title) (bnha, todorokis and hawks-centric)

Fuyumi is not a good daughter.

She is not like Shouto. She is not the prodigy, the golden child, the future hero. She doesn’t have a quirk so strong it nearly burnt down the house when it first manifested, a quirk so perfectly balanced that even his appearance reflects it. She doesn’t have a destiny laid out in front of her, ready to be followed like a gold-paved road.

She isn’t a bad child, either, she hopes. Not like Natsuo. They might both be the middle children, in a way (although she’s technically tied for eldest with Touya, she is six minutes younger than him), both the failures, both invisible, but she’s content with that. Natsuo isn’t. She tries to balance out his anger at their father, to get him to just keep his head down and do as he’s told, but the more time he spends with Touya, the more rebellious he becomes.

But, then, she supposes it makes sense, given his circumstances. After all, Fuyumi might not have the unbeatable quirk their father dreamed of, but at least she has one.

8. show me where my armour ends (bnha, dabihawks, because i refuse to let go of this ship and i hate canon)

If there’s a better end to a day of hero work than a shower hot enough to turn his skin as bright red as his wings, Hawks hasn’t found it yet. Being a hero might be hard, but it’s damn worth it for the feeling of washing away grit and blood under scalding water, if for nothing else. After the day he’s had, he’s more than earned it.

9. untitled modern au (game of thrones/asoiaf, theon and the starks centric)

For all that his children seem to believe otherwise, Ned Stark is not an idiot. He has five kids, a sixth on the way, and he has learned something about being a parent in the past eight years.

He is not fooled when Robb comes down for dinner five minutes early, smiling brightly, and says, “Hi, Daddy! Do you want me to set the table?”

Robb had stopped calling him and Cat Mummy and Daddy at the start of the school year, because no-one calls their parents that anymore, Dad, come on, I’m in Primary Four now. He only uses it now when he wants something. And he never offers to set the table.

10. houses out of cardboard boxes (voltron (i know, i know, i’m sorry), adashi)

Adam isn’t nervous, per se. Adam Wadekar doesn’t do nervous. It’s just that this is his first time at a new school since he started teaching, so he may be a little out of practise

(Also, he’s back in California for the first time in years, after vowing to never return. But, whatever. Not the point.)

11. untitled character study (pjo, will solace-centric)

As a rule, Will is nonviolent. Between a staunchly pacifist mom, a complete lack of athletic ability, and a pathological urge to please people, he doesn’t think he could hurt another person if he tried.

But when you walk into your kitchen to see a man with goat legs and two teenagers holding swords, all common sense sort of goes out the window.

hmm. i feel like all of them have a similar.... vibe, but i can’t pin down a pattern, per se. i tend to open with a fact about a character and then some kind of contradiction, a lot of the time. i think my favourites are probably blue seas to mulberry fields, your place in the family of things, the todorokis gtfo, and the will solace one. (mainly blue seas, though. i will fucking finish that fic if it Kills Me)

[thatforgottenbasilisk]

what i know about mha

from only looking at fanon content

this is thru the USJ incident bc im tired and i’ll make another post

okay so basic summary of the main plot:

midoriya is a quirkless boi until Sludge Villain blah blah blah 10-month-long-training for One for All which breaks his  b o n e s

i did see that episode and only that episode

so first day of school it opens on baku-hoe with his feet up and iida being like ‘hows about stop the FUCKING  D I S R E S P E C T’

and iida thinks midoriya knew about the rescue points, which he didnt but whatever

bakugo cursing a lot is probably not actually canon??? probably????

that said he probably does give ridiculous nicknames

so Quirk Assessment is a logical ruse by aizawa

love aizawa btw

he says the kid in last place gets expelled but not actually

midoriya breaks his finger to make a point

battle assessment with baku-hoe and midoriya

midoriya has fucking bunny ears on his costume?? bro??

something something the gauntlets go off even tho all-might said  n o

day ends blah blah blah

midoriya gets elected class prebident

he’s like ‘no??? dont do that???’

then reporters get in but it’s Actually a cover for the LoV to get in and steal the schedules for an attack on the USJ but shhhhh

iida is calm and directs classmates to safety and midoriya’s like ‘now That’s What I Call a Class Prebident’

so iida is class prebident and yaomomo (i cant spell her name i tried and now im sob) is vice presidente

then USJ which is the  t h i r d  d a y  o f  s c h o o l ?

b r o ?

our plot is moving  h e l l a  f a s t

so all-might was supposed to be there and he wasnt because he ran out of time

also midoriya has a crisis on the bus because he has friends???

so it’s just aizawa and thirteen

who the fuck is thirteen btw like they exist for one (1) event and just

never mentioned again

i think that they might have died in this attack but nobody cared to tell me

like they’re not a homeroom teacher or a first-year teacher of any kind??? whomst????????????

so the LoV warps in and everybody’s separated

our boi midoriya is sent to the Shipwreck zone with tsuyu and mineta 

(fuck mineta all my homies hate mineta)

mineta gropes tsuyu like what the fuck

so minor villains r there blah blah blah

something something AIZAWA GETS FUCKING  W R E C K E D

LIKE ONSCREEN WHAT THE FUCK

MIDORIYA CANONICALLY  S E E S  I T  WHICH MEANS  W E   SEE IT

LIKE HE GETS POUNDED INTO THE GROUND BY A FUCKING QUIRK FRANKENSTEIN

dang heart been broke so many times

all-might arrives tho it’s fine it’s fine everything’s  f i n e

he turns into small-might after defeating the LoV and the nomu but  e v e r y t h i n g  i s  f i n e

aizawa’s quirk is damaged because HIS SKULL WAS TURNED INTO FUCKING SPATTER JESUS CHRIST

he do be a mummy rn

so that’s all on the main events for this post rn (like i said im tired) but here’s some misc (there might be spoilers?????):

i know that it’s not technically canon but like erasermic’s totally canon right

like not according to “the manga” or “the anime” but it is in my heart

shiggy’s a weirdo who just. has midoriya’s picture and carries it around to show to serial killers like wtf dude

AfO is midoriya hisashi No I Do Not Accept Criticism

todoroki is my conspiracy man like bro you go with your secret lovechild theories

(ngl he’s actually smart like this is the most logical conclusion bc who’s gonna say ‘all-might gave you a legendary quirk passed on through generations and that’s why the quirks are identical and why y’all r so close’ like no you’d think that all-might had a secret kid and that’s why they have a close relationship and have the same quirk)

i also love dabihawks like hell yeah

we have an Actual Canon Trans Character??? Holy Shit??????

do you know how annoying it is to see literally the same fucking name a bunch of times but one (1) letter changes in a handful of them and u gotta be like sherlock fucking holmes like “is this a new character or a typo??? nobody fucking knows!!!”

lookin at you, shota/shoto

and you, hisashi/hizashi

and you, kirishima/kaminari

ok the last one wasnt as bad but i wanted to complain bc i got them mixed up SO MUCH at first like GOD

i only remember kaminari because calamari :(

bakugo and kirishima are like,,, a Thing, right? like canon? canon-ish? canon in our hearts?

they literally have someone named tetsutetsu tetsutetsu like i fucking give up

[iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid]

You could get a lot of dabihawks fans to read something with endeavor that's not going to be the issue. This-- "save someone they all care very much about but who they all know might be beyond saving?" this mindset is going to be the problem. Dabi has done many crimes he needs to face up to but viewing him as a "person beyond saving" is completely ignoring the fact that he is also a victim striking back at abusive systems.

okay, here we go:

let me preface this with one very important fact about this story idea: if i’m writing from the perspectives of endeavor, rei, and hawks, the writing is going to be extremely biased. i have my opinions that are not colored by the fact that touya/dabi is a real person with a real personal connection to me, but hawks and rei and enji do not have that luxury!

my original post was lamenting (jokingly) that endeavor content has a very small target audience, and throwing dabihawks in there makes it even smaller, but this is the real crux of it: fandom tends to dislike unreliable narration, or fails to recognize it at all, leading to hateful comments and accusations of, like, abuse apologism etc etc. -- which is fine, i’m an adult and i can handle a few vitriolic people on the internet, it’s just like... a thing i have to accept going in, you know?

(i should note that a lot of my wording in the tags was already colored by the mindset of rei, enji, and hawks’ perspectives, and not necessarily mine)

ANYWAY, let’s get into the meat of this, i.e. the characters and themes, which is what we’re all here for:

[ID: Anonymous said:  Dabi is asking to be saved but not from himself. He is asking to be save by society's glorification of heroes. What he wants is for his past abuser and hero society to be held as accountable for their actions as he is. Dabi is not the villain in Touya's story, Endeavor is, as is anyone who supports Endeavor over him. He wants Endeavors crimes to be treated as seriously as his own as any non-heroes crimes. /END ID]

i respectfully disagree! i don’t think dabi wants to be saved at all. i think he wants hero worshipping torn down, i think he wants everyone to see exactly how awful their “number one hero” really was, and with the context of the last few manga chapters, i think he also wants to be recognized as a force to be reckoned with. he’s almost the “you want a villain? fine, i’ll show you one” trope, except it’s “you think i can’t be a hero? fine, i’ll be the scariest villain you’ve ever goddamn seen” which is just.... delicious, narratively

the only reason i use the word “save” is, again, because of enji and rei and hawks. idk if you happen to have read my endeavor time loop fic, but i summed it up pretty neatly with a conversation between rei and enji here:

(“He’s done… some very, very terrible things. Things he’ll have to answer for. But… Enji, he’s still our son. As long as he’s alive, our son’s still out there.” // “You think we can save him,” Enji says. He’s not sure he believes it. He wants to, he desperately wants to, but he’s not sure he does. // “Maybe,” she shrugs. “Maybe not. But we’re his parents. We have no choice but to try.”)

in the context of this other story that only exists in my head so far, they know they might not be able to get through to touya. they know they might not be able to convince him to stop killing and stop all this destruction etc etc, and they know that if it comes down to having to kill him -- if, to borrow the words of the love of my life captain america a.k.a. sam wilson, he’s not the kind you save but the kind you have to stop -- then that’s their responsibility too. as his parents. as the people who sent him down this path in the first place.

and then, you know, hawks shows up. because he’s a stubborn bastard and i love him

[ID: Anonymous said:  The core of your story will have fan and interest if instead of this: "save someone they all care very much about but who they all know might be beyond saving?". You ask yourself "what does it mean to atone and how can you try to atone when you have done such irreversible damage. As well as what actions to we absolve and what actions do we demand retribution. Also how is forgiveness different from atonement who do we forgive and how does it look."

Anonymous said:  So you can have characters question things like "Why am I forgiving this person but not this other person, and am what I asking of a person even fair" Why can Hawks forgive Endeavor but feel conflicted about his parents. How does Rei feel about Endeavor vs Dabi. Is that fair and should they consider the families of the people Dabi hurt. How do they treat Dabi's feelings about how Hawks killed Twice compared to the families of the criminals Dabi killed. Things like that. /END ID]

catch me SCREAMING over this because YES! EXACTLY! this is exactly what i find so fascinating about this concept! you have endeavor who’s said “i’m not looking for forgiveness, only atonement” and that was before the touya reveal, so by now he’s more than aware of the irreversible damage he’s done. he knew he couldn’t ask for forgiveness from natsuo and he knows he can’t ask for forgiveness from touya. then you parallel that with rei, and how shouto’s chosen to forgive her, and how she (maybe, partially) has chosen to forgive enji, and THEN you have hawks, who forgave endeavor from the word “go” even though he’s shut his own parents out for all the damage they did, and then you have all three of them wanting so badly to be able to forgive dabi/touya for all the terrible things he’s done, and..... hhhhh it makes me INSANE, DUDE

(quick note: i personally believe dabi didn’t... actually care about twice. i know it’s up for interpretation, and that’s mine. on the flipside i think hawks feels very, very, very guilty over what he did, even if it was necessary, and in fact, a moment of him admitting that to rei is the only rock solid scene of this fic that i have in my head so far.)

[ID: Anonymous said: it's about . . . loving someone and wanting what's best for them#but not knowing how to reconcile that with the person you love not WANTING what's best for themselves bc theyre too deep in self destruction--No it's not, at least that's not the only way to handle the pairing it's also about wanting to be there for some one while actively doing the things that are hurting them while thinking you are doing what is best for them and ignoring their wishes because you think you know what is best. /END ID]

i would argue it’s both, actually! i’ve never read dabihawks content so idk the fandom consensus, but to me, the interesting thing about this relationship is that it’s incredibly toxic from both sides. hawks wants to get through to him somehow and talk him down (we’ve seen this mindset when he tried to talk twice down), and dabi does not want to be talked down and, in fact, would see the attempt itself as another act of betrayal. which again, makes me INSANE and is another reason i’m so fascinated by these dynamics

anyway! i think that kind of..... sums it up. this was fun to dig into even if i had to do it twice because tumblr is a fucking nightmare and deletes things i spent half an hour writing lmao

[seijorhi]

asks :)

y’all are killing me, but like in the best possible way 😭

rhi,,, i have been FED. i am so GRATEFUL for the MEAL. 😤 it never ceases to amaze me how talented you are 😭💞 seijoh supremecy reigns!!! and let me tell you,,, makki... just.... ✨makki “stronger than he looks, makki”✨ i frothed,,, we love our underappreciated strawberry on this blog!!!

all i want is for makki to pin me down and fuck me until i’m sobbing. and timeskip makki?? i love him so much 🥺 

and thank you, bby!! 

Rhi. First of all holy shit??? I had to take a deep breath because holy fuck that was just 🥵🥵🥵. I rarely read Mattsun or Makki fics but ugh, I really looked forward to this and holy hell you did not disappoint! Damn. Because you mentioned that this was supposed to be another Seijoh 4 fic, I'd like to consider this as an alternate version of your Manager au and ugh the biggest question! Who did Makki send the pics to? Oikawa and Iwa to tell them what they're missing out? Or to the mystery boyfriend because they finally staked their claim on reader-chan?

Hmmm seeing that the Jackals are the ones in Osaka, I feel like it's any of the four? Omg what if it was Hinata???? But I'll probably feel sad if it was Meian cuz I love him 😭😭😭

sdfghjjhgfhjkl thank you!!!!! i was like ‘okay, you’re not gonna make this about all four of them’ and then my brain ignored all of that entirely and decided just to sprinkle in some hints. i like to think that a lot of things that probably crossed a line happened back in their last year at highschool between all five of them that the reader either rationalises or brushed off, so it is kind of intended as an alternate manager au i guess.

and yeah, makki sent the pics to both iwa, oikawa and your (soon to be ex) boyfriend :)

Hot damn! Baby it’s cold outside is phenomenal!!! I loved the buildup. Am I wrong to assume that iwa and oikawa had some idea of what was going to happen?

oh no, they absolutely knew 👀 and thank you!!

wait omg did makki send those pics to himself or to your boyfriend (perhaps iwa and oikawa?) but wow amazing work as always!! 💕

one set to your boyfriend, another to their captain 😌

Sooo, Oikawa and Iwa were in on it, but why didn't they want to take part?

it’s not so much that they didn’t want to, more that they didn’t want to overwhelm you all once - but dw, they haven’t gone far 👀

The funny thing about timezones is that I often read your fics a few minutes after I wake up at 5am and lol, I end up thinking about them the whole day. They're basically my breakfast at this point lol

timezones are a bitch and i would fight them bare fisted if i could. no but that’s probably the best way to read them, still half asleep 😂 thank you tho!! i’m glad you like them so much!

i love ur soulmate aus 😭 sometimes i wish i could read outrunning fate for the first time again

this is so sweet, thank you, bby!!

out of all your oikawa’s, which one is your fave 😌

but i love them all so much?? unpopular opinion i think, but maybe home! oikawa

kuroo calling you “kitten/sweetheart” and oikawa calling you “his pretty girl/cutie” makes me 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

this makes me so happy because i am an absolute whore for pet-names so they inevitably find their way into my fics - glad i’m not the only one who like them haha

i hesrd soulmate dabihawks and my brain malfunctioned in a good way we can never be sick of soulmate aus

i think i promised to write something for dabi & hawks waaaay back when i started this blog and i still haven’t so maybe now’s the perfect time 👀

ahhhhh im literally gonna go beserk when u open comms i got a whole note in my notes app titled 'bbydoll comms' n like its just a list of comm ideas im so fucking excited

wait, really?? omfg you’re gonna make me melt!!

you're my favourite writer!! each one of your fics is always so well written and interesting and i just--- omg. i have reread practically all your work i literally always go back to it <3

thank you so much, you’re so nice i hope you’re having a good day, bby!

saw dark content slander “ur sick bastards, get help” I AM BEYOND FUCKING PISSEd who the hell are y’all to tell us what to do and what to like. wtf. i’ve been seeing so much shit and it’s like “ok, and??” mind ur own fucking business, block. no one needs to hear ur opinion about it lmao. they be acting like they’re content makes them a better person. what u condone irl and what u condone in fiction is very very different. anyways thanks for listening to my rant, i’m sure u get a lot of shit from random people about dc haha

it’s frustrating, but at the end of the day it’s better just to ignore it and keep enjoying the content you want to - that’s not hurting anybody. you’re never going to change their minds and they’re not interested in that - so long as the content is appropriately tagged it shouldn’t be an issue, but i get where the frustration comes into play

and honestly compared to a lot of dark content writers i think i get off pretty lightly with hate, thank god

[autumn-foxfire]

The thing i noticed when i look at dabihawks fanart n read through your expiriences with the meta part of the fandom is that a lot of people seem to lean on dabi side of the dabihawks conflict. Like its hawks who has to make changes to earn dabi. Its hawks whos turned it a villain, its hawks who forgives or even thanks dabi for what he did. Actually i dont think ive ever seen art ro read a fic (but to be fair im extremly selective in fic reading) where dabi is the one to apologise and try to earn hawks

N i think this sorta makes sense because for a lot of dabihawks shippers, dabi is probably their favorite out of the two. That also makes sense cuz hes been around longer n has appealing design so it makes sense that people would try and fit hawks around dabis narrative instead of vice versa. They find dabi more likable n more interesting so its his side they want to explore.

I feel that this is completely different for me because hawks is my no 1 best boy. Like before hawks bnha was the kind of show where i would say 'oh i like the characters but none of them are mine fav' like id say shouto, shinsou or jirou were my favs mostly based on aesthetics or recognizing pieces i usually like in characters in them, but those pieces never being strong enough for me to say this is my fav bnha character like id say izaya is my favorite durarara character or ranpo is my favorite bungo stray dogs character. And then bam. Bird Time. Like when i first saw hawks i think the most i thought was 'damn thats a cool design' but as we got more of him he very quickly became the character i loved most and wanted to see more off.

Dabi on the other hand i was never really interested in. Like he was cool n all but overall i didnt really care for him until the touya theory dropped and until dabihawks. For me hes perfectly fine, i dont dislike him or anything but i like him most when hes involved with other characters i like, like Todorokis n Hawks. Like even now after a good while on Dabihawks juice id still stay hes not my fav villain. That would probably be Toga, Geten (as little as we get of him) and honestly mr compress just for being an evil magician i need more mr compress

So the fact that hawks is my fav means that unlike ppl whos fav is dabi i focus more on how can dabi earn hawks. How can dabi get better, would he ask for help, would he quit villainy, would he apologize. And most importantly would hawks accept him back.

Makes me feel like amongst dabihawks shippers theres simply two different streams that would probably get annoyed by each others content n feel like the other is spoiling their fav character.

Like i sure as fuck get annoyed when artists i follow for dabihawks start talking about how hawks should have been a villain n how hawks is actually an evil murderer while the league has a point n is poiting out that the heroes will save only those who dont fight back. No really thats a take i heard, lets just forget muscular, mustard, moonfish, gentle, the yakuza and ALL FOR FUCKING ONE who were all arrested perfectly fine without fighting back. But of course these people dont mean saved as in arrested, forced to rexamin their own behavior and work to be better people, they mean saved as in i want my favs to be coddled and patted on the back and instantly forgiven and even told they were right all along and they are the most special a good. Geeze

I fuckin went off subject so hard this is less of an ask n more of a rant now. The only good thing about seeing all those bad takes is that every time i see one my motivation to write a dabihawks story where dabi faces concequences, and they actually have to hash the whole villain hero ideologies thing out, grows stronger

...I’m sorry, I wanted to answer this sooner but wanted to get the smaller asks out of the way first T-T

But yes! That’s been my experience when it comes to Dabihawks as well. Not many people focus on Hawks side of the conflict and instead tend to make him the agressor in the relationship when they want conflict (it always tends to be Hawks who upsets Dabi for example, or Hawks will say something insensitive towards Dabi or do something that upsets Dabi). Not many people treat them as a pair, they just tend to focus on the Dabi angst more then the Hawks angst or angst experienced by the both of them (I like to call that the Dabias and many people suffer from it in the Dabihawks shipping fandom I’ve found).

I like reading stories like this too, from time to time, but I’m just tired of all the stories or comics or fan art being Hawks the bad person in the relationship with him having to apologise and make it up to Dabi. Especially when in canon it’s Dabi that has treated Hawks pretty terribly (he almost got him killed by lying to him about when he was going to release High End and he almost killed him during the raid, meanwhile Hawks hasn’t anything as horrible towards Dabi except hold him at knife point but that was more for his own protection then to threaten Dabi).

I feel like I’m just bitching because people don’t wrote fanfiction to my specifications but you’d be grumpy too if your favourite character always gets the short end of the stick in work that is supposed to be about the pair of them being a couple.

Also don’t get me started on the stories that make Hawks “see the light” and join Dabi’s side after he maimed him, some even going far as to have him thank Dabi for what he did. It just reeks of the Dabias and I absolutely hate. Let Hawks experience trauma you cowards, especially trauma that we know was caused by the hands of dear old Dabi.

I wish more work would try to reform Dabi as a person instead of having Hawks become a villain (especially because works that usually have Hawks become a villain tend to ignore the horrifying plans the League want to commit or acknowledged them but fool themselves into thinking Hawks would actually be down for all the BS). I think it’s more interesting to see a bad person try to change, it’s why I’ve enjoyed Endeavor’s character arc despite not liking him as a character. Like sure, I don’t mind bastardization arcs too but they have to be done with character I can see it happening too and Hawks isn’t that type of person.

(In fact it’s such an interesting source of conflict that Dabi and Hawks are very resolved people. They’re not likely to change their ways for anything but I don’t really see people explore that even though it’s the perfect source for angst).

I’m so tired of villain stans who wanted Hawks to become evil (and then wanted him to validate their murder favs). I want more stories where Hawks puts his foot down and Dabi realises he wants to be a better person for him (it’s in those stories I could actually see him bonding with his family again too because right now Dabi is a man with no qualms with breaking his family apart for his revenge).

I just wished more people would let Dabi face the consequences of his actions too. Like if you’re going to make Hawks suffer for what he did (even though I roll my eyes at the thought) then Dabi who has done much worse should be suffering ten times over.

Make it make sense.

Hi, you are the person that introduced me to JinKei and your meta are always super interesting (if painful^_^') and recently I relisted to "two birds" by Regina Spektor and a few months ago I was like "oh, this could be such a good song for DabiHawks!" (and Keigo isn't the one that flies away) now I'm like "WOW, this is such a canon!Jinkei song!" and I suffer. Like if I was faster at drawing I would do an animatic. Sorry for rabling, I just wanted to share this idea with a Jinkei shiper ^^'

Oh my gosh~ I’m glad I converted some people to this ship!

Now, I really love two birds by Regina. I’m a huge Regina fan (my original blog title was a Spektor quote), even have a signed copy of her EP somewhere from over a decade back. Two birds really works for a lot of ships, and I definitely see it working for Jinkei, especially these lines:

Two birds of a feather 

Say that they're always gonna stay together 

But one's never going to let go of that wire 

He says that he will 

But he's just a liar 

Two birds on a wire 

One tries to fly away and the other 

Watches him close from that wire 

He says he wants to as well, 

But he is a liar

Keigo, in my opinion, is the bird who won’t let go of the wire. As for the animatic, I would love to see something like that, no matter how much time it takes! If you ever want to give it a go, I would be so happy to see any jinkei content really...

[mango-bango-bby]

This is kinda my first time requesting something to you. So I'll try my best to explain

Imaging mafia!Dabi so upset that you paid more attention to hawks then him so you decide to give him a little attention. If you know what I mean.. While hawks is outside the door listening (by dabis orders)

You can just skip past this is you dont like the idea. Bye!!

♡ Alone Time ♡

(A/N: I love this idea!! I’ve been getting a lot of requests for Mafia AU DabiHawks 😭😭 Like I don’t have any Haikyuu requests lol!!! But I hope you like this, I’m not sure if I’m to great at writing smut like this 💖)

Dabi and Keigo always had a rivalry when it came to you. Although they compromised to share you, that didn’t mean they didn’t fight over you. Especially when it came to you favoring one over the other, so after Dabi found you in a compromising situation with Keigo, he demanded some alone time with you too.

Keigo leans against the bedroom door, being locked out. Of course this was part of the agreement when they each had your alone time with you, the other was forced to sit on the other side of the door.

“Don’t cover your face” Dabi commands, hearing you whine when Dabi curls his fingers against your inner walls. “If you do that again, I’ll have to tie your hands” He teases, chuckling lowly when you immediately pull your hands away from your face. You now clutch onto the satin sheets.

“Dabi- ‘M gonna cum” you whine, pushing your lips together so you don’t let put to many loud moans. Dabi slows his movements. “You’re gonna cum, hm?” He asks, watching you weakly nod and your chest heave. Just as your climax comes, he pulls his fingers out of you leaving you wanting.

“Don’t stop, please” you plead, Dabi putting his hand on your hips to stop your wiggling. “Fuck...” Keigo mumbles, only imagining how you look right now. Although, he guesses for now he’ll just have to deal with hearing your moans and cries.

“Wouldn’t wanna waste that on my fingers, I‘d rather have you cum on my dick” Dabi says, smirking at the flustered look on your face. You let out a yelp when he pulls your hips closer to him.

You bite down on your bottom lip to keep yourself from crying out when you feel Dabi push into you. No matter how many times you did it, it never failed to burn with how large he was. “Let out those moans, doll” He says, using his hand to grab the back of your neck and push you into a kiss.

“You know he’s listening” Dabi says against your lips, watching you pull away, your lips slightly swollen. “W-what?” You ask, quivering and letting out a sob at how he hits your sweet spots while not even moving yet.

“Keigo. He’s right outside the door, princess” Dabi says, watching your eyes flicker to the door. Keigo huffs on the other side of the door, he’s not sure if Dabi said that to tease him or you. Keigo just had to wait though, after all he gets his alone time with you next time.

“Don’t keep your noises down, how about you give him a show, huh?” Dabi groans, speeding up his pace on an instant. You gasp, whimpering as you hold onto his back, your nails slightly digging into his skin. “W-wait! Slow down!” You cry out, feeling your eyes roll back at the sudden force.

“Fuck... you feel so good. Such a good girl for me” Dabi grunts, pulling you away from his shoulder to see your face. You look so beautiful with your mouth hung open as moans spill out from you.

“Who’s bigger, sweets, me or him?” Dabi smirks, snapping his hips into yours. Keigo feels a sneer work its way onto his face. You only whine and shake your head. “What? Can’t say?” He groans, watching you shake your head. You can’t say! No matter what you answer with, one will be upset and try to prove you wrong.

“C-Can’t say” you whine, tears leaking out of your eyes at how fast he thrusts into you. “Slow down! ‘M gonna cum!” You moan, throwing your head back in pleasure but also so you didn’t have to look at him in the eyes. “Fuck- You’re gonna cum already?” Dabi grumbles, leaning on your shoulder to leave marks. He always felt the need to leave bite marks all over your skin. To claim you.

You nod shakily, balling up the satin sheets in your hands. Dabi groans at the look in your eyes. So helpless. You look at him as if he’s your only hope in getting you to cum. “Go ahead, baby” Dabi groans, a devilish idea popping into his mind. “And since you can’t tell who’s bigger, how about for the next round we let Keigo in” He says, Keigo standing up from his position against the door.

Although his words were phased as a question, you know it’s not. You know Keigo will be joining you two. You are in for a very long night

Really long ask - Part 1: Hi, sorry for this long rant, but I just wanted to vent since I saw this latest story posted on AO3 and I am restraining myself on commenting on their story so I'm just letting my anger out here about it and other issues regarding fan-depiction of Hawks. It's vaguely related to your post on how DabiHawks or Dabi+Hawks stories make it all about Dabi and always made Hawks out to be the one who starts the problems in their relationship or is the one trying to get Dabi's

Content warning: passing mention of r*pe in a fanfiction.

LOOOONG post under the cut.

(Cont.)

Dabi's attentions when it's canon that it's the complete opposite. This latest story that came up in my feed was about Hawks "harassing" Dabi (who apparently has a backstory of r*pe) and Twice helps Dabi works out his feelings. Among the hoards of tags condemning Hawks, they decided to use "Hawks is very uncool in this fic heads up" so that's another one to add to my filters. I think I also have to block the "Dabi Needs a Hug" tags too bc he's always woobified like heck. 

I really want to read stories where Hawks interacts with Twice since they have a bond/drama with each other, but people have been adding Dabi and either making it seem like Hawks has been gaslighting Dabi in their "relationship" or with Twice. I can acknowledge stories where Hawks feels guilty for what he had to do or Twice being anger/betrayed over Hawks' actions since that is actually what happened; but I will not stand for Dabi claiming Hawks took advantage of Twice or Twice and Dabi having feelings for each other with Hawks in the way bc Dabi is a) the one who let Hawks in b) knew Twice is gullible and c) used Twice as bait. Even in the stories that are cute/causal+funny, Hawks is always the one who gets threatened with fire, harsh insults, or guilted into compliance but the seriousness of the first 2 are always brushed off and the third kinda makes me want it that Hawks doesn't have friends bc most people write him as a bad friend who only cares about his own problems (especially the ones that write Hawks like a celebrity/night club person). 

On writing Dabi, his issues always take priority over everything else, his family loves him, and the lov is always chill with him. He's usually written as the fun asshole/caretaker (bc of his big brother status or ablity to cook). Those factors aren't bad by itself, but it's extremely irritating when the writers/artists can give that level of care to Dabi, but just reduce Hawks to a meme who is a workaholic for the government/scared of punishment & not bc he really cares about the people he saves/helps. It's not like I hate the DabiHawks pairing, but the majority of the content (esp the recent ones), are frustrating to read & Hawks' character is usually written in bad out of character extremes. I am really mystified that I'm praying for canon content rather than fanmade most of the time.

Phew! After the back and forth it looks like we got to the end of that! (Or did we?! *Dun dun DUUUUN*) If not, though, feel free to keep the asks rolling. Lol Foxy and I are usually pretty happy to receive as many asks as people want to send even if it takes us a while, individually, to get to it. Now to finally address what you sent.

I find myself in a weird place when it comes to OOC fanfic because on the one hand people can write whatever they want, and I don’t really have a place to criticize them; but also when they blatantly and willingly misinterpret a character so they have grounds to bash on them it also leaves me acutely uncomfortable. I don’t think I’d call it “problematic” as much as a squick? Like, if they’re willing to blow past all the obvious proof to the contrary about their claims of a fictional character just because they hate them, then are they willing to do the same thing to a real person? Usually, those kinds of thoughts are pointlessly extreme, but we know those who unironically and/or unapologeticly call fans of the heroes “bootlickers” so... It’s like, ooc vent fics are also fine; and if you want to rewrite a character to fit the narrative scheme you’ve set up that’s cool as long as its tagged (“ooc [character]” or something) and/or just mention in the a/n that they knowingly and willingly mischaracterized them for the sake of the fic. Just. Don’t. Claim. It’s. Canon.

And speaking of canon, as much as I’m sure Horikoshi knew Hawks and Dabi were going to end up shipped I think it’s obvious that he never was going to canonically write them ending up together, yet here comes the “canon must validate my headcanon” crowd calling him a bad writer because the author had some bigger narrative goal in mind than having two pretty anime boys kissing.

And the worst part to me is, I feel there’s a distinct slice of the DabiHawks crowd missing out on some of the possibilities of this ship by intentionally mischaracterizing them. Like, the aesthetic equal/opposite draw of the ship is phenomenal as it is and I don’t even ship them, but I can see a wide range of possible fics based solely on the principle that they are canonically incompatible!

At the end of the day, Dabi is a dime-a-dozen edgelord - that pain in the butt OC that so many newbie D&D players make that they think is so deep and dark and mature, but is about as cookie-cutter as they come. It’s not that this kind of character is unsalvageable or a hopeless Gary Stu character, just that they don’t often come across as compelling in and of themselves or that they need more than just selfish hatred to carry them through a series. Two kinds of edgelords that can be done well are the “Out of the Ashes” edgelord and “I’ll Pull You Into Hell With Me” edgelord. The first kind recognizes there’s more to life than their sad backstory and getting even and thus choose to aspire to more noble causes - think Joel from The Last of Us. The second recognizes they’re actively doing wrong and come to embrace it - being more concerned with getting what they want than taking the moral high ground - think Frank Castle, aka the Punisher - and even these darker, “unsaveable” kinds of edgelord antiheroes can have redeeming qualities such as meeting and helping a young hopeful and telling them, “I know I’m on the road to hell, so if you want to save yourself you’d better not follow me.”

Dabi actually has what he needs to become the second type right now (assuming he’s Touya) and could even evolve into the first not unlike Kratos from God of War, but that potential can’t be fully recognized until you admit that he’s fundamentally self-centered and a bad person as-is. He may have the tragic backstory complete with justifiable hate at his genuinely abusive father, but rather than using that as fuel to see that never happen to anyone else like it did him - he just wants to get even. He burns people alive, knowing well he’s participating in the same destruction that his father committed to make him what he is now. He doesn’t recognize any of the merits of hero society and is only concerned with burning it to ash. He could use what happened to his family to incite compassion in his heart and take others under his wing, but instead he uses people as a mean to his own ends. He isn’t even proper grimdark - he’s just your run of the mill egotistical megalomaniac with a punk aesthetic.

And that’s still a good character in the grand scheme of things, maybe just not alone! Moreso, it’s a good villain and EVEN BETTER when you put him next to Hawks who is at his core:

Fundamentally Hopepunk!

Hopepunk is about being good and kind as an act of rebellion against a cruel and unfair world no matter how bleak it gets or how badly you’re beaten down. Despite his own cruel past, Hawks still has a heart to help others for no other reason than to help them, he constantly changes the odds to save as many people as he can when he’d be given a pass for letting the cards fall where they will, and not only is his aim to “help others” but to make sure that there’ll never be need for heroes again. He’s an active rebel against the system fighting with kindness and goodness, fervently looking and listening for the next opportunity to do good.

In agreement with you, Hawks and Twice are interesting to explore because while Twice is an optimist looking to make the world a better place, he’s still a step or two removed from Hawks’ worldview because Twice refuses to let go of the “family” he found for himself while Hawks is willing to sacrifice himself for others. That dynamic is so interesting, and it’s what made them so initially compatible and subsequently heartbreaking in canon.

And it’s such a disappointment to see this unwaveringly earnest character reduced to “shitty fratboy” so often. For a lot of people newer to his character I can understand the confusion, but there really isn’t an excuse if you’ve been reading the series, and the possibilities for fics with this canon personality are just so much more interesting to explore, especially with Dabi as his sort-of opposite.

For DabiHawks to work well, you have to recognize that something has to give in either of them. Some of the juiciest, most angsty content is when you have two characters grow close together over commonalities only to be reminded that despite everything else they share, that One Thing will always keep them from truly being able to see eye-to-eye. Either Dabi has to grow past his hatred and relearn compassion and empathy, or Hawks has to lose grip of that hopeful vision he has and fall into despair. Both options are good to explore, but both require the acknowledgement that Dabi’s view of the world is fundamentally bleak and selfish, especially compared to Hawks’. For a supposed revolutionary out to change the world for the better whose a diamond in the rough with a heart of gold, that’s not exactly on-brand; and at the end of the day the issue is that some are unwilling to admit that what they wanted Dabi to be is likely not going to happen and they love that fake version Dabi more than they love what Hawks actually stands for which is why Hawks always gets the shaft in the end.

I still personally hold a bit of a grudge against the DaiHawks ship as a whole purely because, as you said, Dabi always seems to take priority over Hawks instead of letting the two build a dynamic together. Hawks is always the one who has to give, and the torture porn some have made him go through to “make the ship work” is downright disturbing to me. Even at its height DabiHawks content completely flooded the Hawks character tags on Tumblr with some of the same problems that have persisted to this day such as emphasizing their aesthetic as opposed to their dynamic and rampant mischaracterization.

Anyway, that’s my long-winded response. What do you think, @autumn-foxfire?

Dabihawks Victorian Vampire au ft. Trans Hawks and Vampire! Dabi

The Takami family had been climbing up through the social ladder for years. They have become known as wealthy merchants with connections to several lords and ladies. Keigo was the only son to the main branch of the Takami family. Other branches have opted to marry into social status. Not many people knew of the predicament that left the Takami family to shroud a secret. When Keigo was born he had been born female. Well that in itself was not a problem to his father who would regardlessly still pass on the business to Keigo. However when Keigo was growing up he had an affinity for the things that were primarily masculine. So one day his mother decided to dress him up as you would with a little boy and he was extremely content. So they allowed Keigo to be raised as a boy and those who knew were sworn to secrecy.

Keigo had grown up to be quite a vision with bright honey eyes from his mother and golden blonde hair from his father. He was not quite tall but always carried an air of elegance and dignity. The way he walked almost commanded the attention of any room he entered. He had many suitors of varying genders. Suitors he had become acquainted with in his times of attending balls and business meetings. Of the male suitors who knew of his assigned gender at birth believed him a conquest to tame and make him submit to the role he so hated. Therefore rejecting them with harsh words sweeten by his delivery of voice. The female suitors believed him to be a gentleman and a romantic and swooned, which was not far from the truth. Keigo was excellent at what the tight-lipped Victorians called canoodling.

Besides that Keigo was beloved by his parents and friends. He treated the servants with kindness and fiercely defended them. His best friend was Lady Rumi Usagiyama and once they see each other it will take a lot to get them to let go off one another. Many believed that Lady Rumi and Keigo would one day marry; it only made sense, right? Rumi and Keigo would laugh behind their backs, only Keigo knew of Rumi’s affections towards ladies. But it was a rumor that they let people believe, after all it was just gossip.

This evening the Takami family were invited to a small ball at the Todoroki estate. Keigo was the main reason why they were invited, for he was friends with Lady Fuyumi who had begged her father to let them come. Lady Fuyumi, Rumi and himself would often group together at balls to avoid the unwanted suitors. Plus with Keigo there Rumi and Fuyumi’s relationship as never questioned as being more than

friendly. The estate itself was beautiful filled with gold decor and paintings of the many family members. The mahogany tables were long in the Refreshment room had many varying foods and drinks to choose from. Keigo couldn’t bring himself to eat a sour taste in his mouth as he spotted Lord Enji from across the room boasting about some hunt he went on. He knew of the secrets Lord Enji hid behind closed doors when there weren’t prying eyes. Fuyumi had told him of the years of abuse her mother had endured only for her to be locked in a private wing where no one is allowed to see her. She told him of Touya, her long lost older brother, that her father declared he was dead. And poor Shoto being chosen as the successor to the Todoroki fortune, while receiving the same abuse as his mother and Touya. Rumi and Fuyumi had pulled away from the party to be alone for a while leaving behind a bored Keigo. He knew the estate well enough and walked towards the garden.

He adored the garden as it was covered in lovely red and white roses. Evening lamps glowed unable to match the bright light of the moon above. Keigo was content to be solitary in the garden simply taking in the fragrance all around him as he sat on a bench. In the distance he could hear the clicking of glasses and roars of laughter. A sigh escaping his lips as he absent mindingly stroked the petals of a nearby white rose. But there was a presence that he could not shake. It was as if he was being watched from afar, an uneasiness spreading in his stomach. There was a sense of danger blanketing the garden. Until he turned around only for honey golden eyes to clash with burning turquoise blue. A gasp left his mouth, the man was tall and lanky with deathly pale skin. Unusually lacking any color as if he was born in darkness. Hair in unruly spikes as dark as a raven’s wing. There was a lopsided smirk and although his eyes were half lidded seemed amused at the blond’s reaction. Every fiber of Keigo’s body told him this man was not to be trusted but he couldn’t seem to move like a frightened animal in front of a beast.

“Who are you?” He mannered to say hoping his fear did not spill into his otherwise confident remark.

“ I should be asking you that question. After all, I am in the presence of such a lovely dove such as yourself. But I will not deny such a pretty thing, an answer, I go by the name Dabi.” Dabi said with a low chuckle that made Keigo’s heart race.

“Please, do tell me your name. I am on the edge of my seat to know” Dabi say moving closer to the man.

Keigo didn’t know if it was a good idea to let this man know his name after all he knew nothing of this mysterious man. So he came to the conclusion to give him a pseudonym to protect at least some part of his identity.

“They call me Hawks. Now what brings you here in this estate.”

“Aw birdie you have to be more honest. I know you are lying but I won’t hold against you. I came for some personal business but it seems I have been distracted by something better. “

A shiver went through Keigo’s body, as Dabi stalked closer. Normally he would give out a clever remark, but none of his thoughts were coherent. The moon played against dark locks and made Dabi’s skin glow. He certainly was handsome but in a way that made Keigo nervous which was a rare occurrence in itself.

“If I remember correctly this is a ball, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?” Dabi said with a bow before offering up his hand for the blond to take.

Keigo gulps a lump in his throat as he accepts the cold hand. His face flushing dark over his checks.

Dabi held him close, hand his thin waist. Keigo let himself be swayed and spun expertly by this man. This certainly was not his first waltz. There was a subtle difference in the way the upper class danced. There was a sense of control and need for perfection. A perfection that Dabi was demonstrated without flaws. Keigo peered up through blonde eyelashes to see that Dabi was enraptured by him, his gaze glued to his face. It was as if his face demanded all the attention of this man. There was no music but the flow of their bodies did not need it. The two were alone in the abyss of roses with the moon as their only spectator. When the time came for the dance to end, a hint of disappointment crawled into Keigo’s chest. Dabi’s hand refused to let go of his waist and brought his other hand to brush his lips against Keigo’s hands. Keigo looking up at Dabi noticed something in Dabi’s smile. Shining brightly in the silver moonlight we’re abnormally long sharp caines.

Keigo’s heart raced in a small panic, he was one of them. One of those beasts that had an affinity for human blood, the ones people call vampires. Creatures of darkness that are an unredeemable evil. He has been charmed by one and by the way it is framed it appears he is this creature’s next meal. Keigo couldn’t pull away, frozen in the sight of turquoise eyes. Dabi’s smirk remained on his face as he let go Keigo’s hand he once held to grab his chin. Leaning down his cold lips met with a pair of too warm lips. Keigo knew it was wrong but his body melted underneath Dabi’s seductive kiss. Kisses trailed down his jaw with the occasional brush of sharp teeth sending shivers down his spine. Soft moans escaped his lips as Dabi directed his kisses down his neck. Playful bites until the flat of his cold tongue swiped. Danger was in the air. Dabi wasted no time and bit down Keigo’s neck. Two piercing caines lodging themselves in Keigo’s neck. A loud gasp from the sudden pain echoed in the garden. The teeth went deeper and Keigo uselessly grabbed on to raven locks. Tears streaming down his face. Honey golden eyes in pain as he felt this creature consume his blood. In gentle waves pain was replaced with pleasure. As his vision was growing darker and unfocused his body grew pliant in Dabi’s arms. Moans rapidly spill, as if it were prayers to a merciful god. Until Keigo’s body finally gave out and his vision blacked out, no longer able to keep consciousness.
