AU Where...
Bakugo is a top ranked pro hero with CelebrityChildhoodFriend!Midoriya who is famous for such a completely different job/career from a Hero that the rest of Bakugo's class, who stayed in touch after UA, have no idea they're friends.
Through a series of events, this is all eventually revealed to the pro hero friend group
Whether Midoriya has a quirk or not is up to the author
Midoriya wasn't interested in being a hero growing up
Whether AFO exists in this au is up to interpretation
Appearance of LoV members as Midoriya's co workers/employees or friends??
BodyguardTouyaBodyguard TouyaBodyguardTouya 👀
Stylist Toga
Personal Assistant Spinner
Manager Compress
Co-worker/WorkBFF Tenko??
Use of canon villain names to protect Midoriya's staff from the public spotlight??
Midoriya didn't attend UA
Shinsou got into 1A
Bakugo has made vague references to Midoriya in the past but no-one knew what he was talking about
Bakugo and Midoriya stayed friends in this au
Bakugo has a Midoriya Merch ShineTM
Midoriya is still a hero fanboy
They trade merch, Midoriya gives his to Bakugo in return for merch for his hero shrine and All Mights' signature
Midoriya's celebrity status can be anything the author chooses as long as it doesn't relate to hero work. So things like a singer, dancer, actor, sportsman, model, YouTuber are all good, but nothing like a hero analyst or support worker for this au
Unbeknownst to even Bakugo, Izuku has met Shouto through Touya but somehow neither Shouto nor Izuku recognised each other's professional identity and both thought the other was a regular civilian.

edit: update post here
Alright so I've been trying to put together an MHA Steven Universe AU, but I'm struggling to figure out a couple of the roles! So I'm enlisting all of you wonderful people to help!
Heres what I have so far
Ruby- Katsuki
Sapphire- Izuku
Garnet- bakudeku (named Katsudori in the au)
Steven- Eri(?)
Connie- Kota(?)
Lapis- Hawks
Peridot- Shigaraki
Jasper- Dabi
I have had ideas for the other roles, but nothing quite fit the way I wanted it to. My request to you all is to comment and/or reblog with your suggestions for the remaining roles as well as other suggestions for who to put into Steven and Connies roles as i'm not entirely certain about them yet. Thank you!

HERO X FAMILY Halloween episode
Let's face it: Halloween is HERE and I didn't even manage to start writing that episode in time, especially since I've estimated it at 3-4 chapters (12k words). So, I dropped the episode from my write / draw to-do list for now (but might pick it back up sometime).
Which is a little sad, because it would have been more of a Dadmight episode rather than a Toshinko one. And it has little grumpy Kacchan in it, too.
Anyway, for your pleasure, here's how the episode would have gone:
The story opens with Inko POV as she hears Mitsuki drag Kacchan up the stairs of the apartment complex. The two are bickering loudly. When Inko gets the door we find out that Mitsuki drops off Katsuki at the Midoriyas so he can go with Izuku to a Halloween street fest.
Katsuki wears a golden age AM costume and is upset about it, since he wanted to be his own hero, but Mitsuki thought grenade bracelets were stupid and that's what their fight had been all about. Izuku is dressed as Silver Age AM (a gift from Toshi) and Kacchan points out that there can be only one number one.
Inko calms him down by offering to sew Katsuki his own costume for next Halloween. She's dressed up as Nana, because Toshi suggested it, and oh boy, he regrets that suggestion because now his wife looks like his mother figure and that's weird(!). Also Inko has to tell everyone who Nana was, but both Toshi and Inko agreed it's a good thing to remind people of who she was.
(I'm still undecided about whether or not Mon is living with them (yet). If so, she can wear a simple Ryukyu dragon costume.)
Toshi shows up in a villain outfit (yes the one from the OVA), so he and the kids can stage mock battles, but also because Inko wouldn't let him pick a scary costume. Katsuki immediately calls mock battles pointless since a gust of wind could defeat him. Well, that's just how Katsuki is around Toshi in this AU.
Skip forward. Toshi POV. They're out on the streets. There's decorations, music. Children are going trick-or-treating. Toshi notices a shady group of people next to a van and awkwardly lies to Inko about having to double back bc he forgot his painkillers.
Now alone, Toshi sneaks up to the suspected villains and listens in as they discuss a robbery. Bc odd coincidences happen in this AU, these first-time villains got their costumes at the same store Toshi got his. He puts on a mask and buffs up, planning to scare them away when he is discovered and mistaken for the requested backup.
Toshi decides to play along since they haven't actually commited a crime yet and they aren't particularly strong or confident.
Izuku or Inko POV. We see Katsuki "demanding" sweets. He is mistaken for a "villain AM". Izuku tells him to be nicer. Katsuki tries. He's hilariously bad at it.
Meanwhile, the group of villains has prepared a stage in the middle of the road and is drawing in a small crowd with free sweets and claiming to announce the winner of the costume contest. "All Smite" is with them.
Inko, Katsuki and Izuku go to see what the commotion is about when one of the villains creates a dome around the crowd, and another makes passers-by oblivious to that dome. A third threatens the civilians and demands their valuables. If they don't comply, All Smite is supposed to step in.
Toshi doesn't let it come to that. He pretends to be frightened of Izuku and Kacchan because "his only weakness are children dressed up like AM on Halloween, for they can gain the power of the hero!" It's horribly contrived, and the only person willing to believe him is Izuku.
Little Izuku throws a punch and Toshi pretends to get hit by jumping back and into the other villains.
Now convinced, Katsuki joins in.
It's actually Toshi knocking the villains around, but who cares? The children get to be actual heroes for a day.
Before long, the villains flee (thoroughly scared of the kids and discouraged from committing another crime), and Toshi runs away with them. He actually lets them go since no one got injured (besides the villains) and because it'll be one less report for him to write.
Closing scene probably has Izuku and Kacchan excitedly telling Toshi all about the adventure he missed out on.

Uraraka is the new girl in town. Bakugo and Midoriya warm up to her in different circumstances and are now literally fighting each other to win her over. Both go to Toshinori for love advice, but he's terrible at it. Shigaraki is the weird cousin who likes to watch the misunderstandings and makes things worse. In the end, Bakugo and Midoriya start dating, and Uraraka is happy to be friends with them.

I'm not feeling very well, and when I'm not feeling very well but I'm not defeated, I write. I think I'll publish something new soon, but as always, I overthink everything. This time there are two things: Will anyone really be interested in a canon divergent semi-au ShigarakixMidoriya? Well, who cares, I'll write it anyway. The other thought, however, is... them again: the damn tags. How do I signal a story that gets darker and heavier chapter by chapter? I feel like such a newbie on AO3.
Does it really work to use progressive tags?

The Court
He Never Wanted this. He never wanted to search for a dead boy. He was going to die. And it's because the Dead are never found in this world.
But one Bakugo Katsuki had family and friends on the line. Scratching and Tearing for their Rights and Needs.
The Orpheus City was a Electric one. And All For One Rules it with a Hard Fist. Scorches the eyes, burns the skin if unlucky enough to attract attention from Hellfire. It's a city of Heat and Pain.
So Bakugo sought out another place. A haven. He almost could laugh. Another City of no Name, Few entrances and where people disappear if they proved themselves. He does the same.
Tenko (A traitor his brain cries out. A Runner and Betrayer. Why would they make him a Entrance?!!) would meet him, as the Eurydice Entrance. his only way to safety and hope to find that Dead Boy named Izuku Midoriya.

So I… got back into my hero academia recently
Made an AU .5 seconds after getting through Tomura’s backstory.
Have some art for it.
Some Touya, members of the resident accidental villain savers, the Luciolas, and a cute moth girl! Also, poor Touya has to deal with Bakugo during the internship arc.

# aizawa has a concussion during all of this and miniboro is making him think hes actually just dead or dreaming
Via @hey-hamlet
When did afo kidnap 1-A? How are they holding up in this new situation? Did he take aizawa cause if u have a class you have to have a thecher? How did kacchan and deku react to seeing each other again?
He grabbed them at the USJ because he's a prick with an sense of drama. He's managed to grab Aizawa too, almost purely for the neat quirk, but a little because it would be nice to have a homeroom teacher for the new one class school he's going to be hosting. He's even put together some dorm rooms and a classroom! He's such a great dad, giving his son the classic high school experience from the safety of home. He's be taking history and quirk science, obviously. Doctor Garaki can take science and maths, he's been teaching Izuku for years. Kurogiri will make the lunches, Tomura will be the surly upperclassman and Gigantomachia can be the class pet. Perfect!
On a totally unrelated note, due to the rather tumultuous state of society at the time, he never attended a real high school. 100% unrelated.
Also Izuku and Katsuki both sobbed. Katsuki also screamed a bit, discovered they'd been kidnapped by Izuku's dad who had also kidnapped Izuku like 8 years ago, screamed again, saw there was a mini pro hero wannabe sitting his pocket and tried to blow up the wall.
It didn't work.

what comes next though? (MHA ch. 413)
// major spoilers for mha ch. 413 since its leaks, so please stop reading if you arent quite caught up. i havent written one of these in a LONGGG while lmao.
ANYWAY, with all that being said.... this week's leaks huh?
We saw it coming a long time ago, we speculated it to hell and back, we made aus and fics, and now it's finally here. The conclusion we've reached and the one that's been hinted at since the release of Heroes Rising in 2019:
bnha is going to end with deku giving up one for all and becoming quirkless.
(LOTS of words under the cut -- youve been warned.)
For those who are a little lost; the basic premise of the ending we are hurtling towards is that Kudou (the 2nd user of ofa) has a plan to take down Shigaraki. With AfO dead and gone + Shigaraki becoming so powerful he is essentially invincible -- theres no other choice for the heroes other than destroying him inside out; the plan being the equivalent of charging a battery so much it explodes.
the way they're going to go about this is by essentially, feeding Shigaraki bits of One for All until he's given all of it -- then allowing the vestiges of the previous wielders to create a massive revolt similar to what SnS did until they can successfully tear him apart from inside the "quirk realm" and shut him out. Kudou volunteers to go next since danger sense has already been taken, and if Shigaraki uses gearshift again after Deku already used it twice, Tomura's body will likely shutdown and receive twice the backlash Deku does when he uses kudou's quirk.
(sidenote: funny as fuck that deku only understood once kudou equated the strategy to bkg throwing papers at him. bro stupid af.)
its a sensible(ish) idea. one that seems plausible given the context of the last hundred or so chapters with heroes like Hawks and SnS having their quirks revolt against both AfO and Shigaraki in a way that makes it clear that its not uniquely OfA that animates the souls of peoples quirks. Its inherent. Quote, Nana Shimura, "romantic" even.
(let it be known though that i think hori absolutely did not plan on delving into this plot point as much as he is now. ill explain in a bit, but heroes rising was 100% a major factor of why he moved in this direction.)
That being said, the conclusion of the plan (and subsequently, the major plot of bnha) is as follows: Deku gives up One for All to Shigaraki. One for All unites with All for One within Shigaraki and destroys it in one final clash between Yoichi and his brother. The break in the barrier of Shigaraki's hatred will part, letting him find the consciousness of Shimura Tenko behind it after years.
Shigaraki dies, taking OfA and AfO down with him,
and then Deku is quirkless once more.
Sad conclusion aside for now, I firmly believe that no matter what way you look at it; Deku was always meant to end the story without a quirk. Given some of the original drafts of bnha where Deku was never supposed to be given a quirk in the first place, this is clearly unsurprising. What's more is my favorite piece of information relative to katsuki and deku's character development:
the fact that heroes rising was (one of the) ideas for the original ending of bnha.
a refresher for some of you: heroes rising is about class 1a going to the isolated village of nabu island and defending it against an upcoming big bad villain named "nine" with a quirk that is essentially a scaled down version of all for one. katsuki and deku eventually resolve the conflict together via brute force by deku giving katsuki ofa, them rushing in while the quirk is transferring and both of them have it, and then ultimately defeating nine at the end. the movie then of course circles back on deku losing one for all, undoing that consequence by saying the transfer never completed bc ofa chose him over katsuki and they all move on to the endeavor agency arc with katsuki remembering absolutely nothing of the final battle.
many fans often misunderstand one of horikoshi's quotes about the movie in that it was, without a doubt, the original ending of bnha. for the sake of accuracy, that is not what horikoshi really said; what he ACTUALLY said was something closer and to the tune of of how it was "one OF the endings" he planned on using for bnha, but his original idea for how the story ends "has not changed one bit."
obviously disregarding the cop out where ofa sticks back to izuku in order for the series to continue as normal; this can only confirm that bnha was going to end with midoriya izuku quirkless whether katsuki was involved or not.
so what's different this time?
its hard to figure out how far horikoshi had planned the ending of bnha with heroes rising's prototype conclusion in mind. if heroes rising never pulled through and horikoshi had planned on bnha ending with the shared ofa transfer and katsuki continuing deku's legacy -- then that means katsuki wouldve died an early death because of all might's confirmation that only quirkless people can hold on to one for all without dying young, meaning he either intended on katsuki dying soon after the story ends or only planned that plot point after heroes rising was released.
the plot as well of heroes rising's conclusion cannot have been thought of all that early on because of ANOTHER tidbit of information that changes perspective of the entire series: in that,
bakugou katsuki was never supposed to be a major character to begin with. (keep an eye on this link; i reference this interview a LOT)
he was not supposed to have an arc. he was not supposed to become a major focal point of the series. he was not meant to be the hero he is in the story today. bakugou katsuki was not written with the intention of being a major narrative this late into the story -- instead originally only existing as a character that deku would surpass within the first few arcs.
but then katsuki cried, and deku apologized, and then opened his big fat mouth, and then told him a secret he didnt even tell his own mother -- and suddenly bakugou katsuki was not just another footnote in deku's story, but a legitimate character that grew and created one of the most loved (and hated) character turnarounds in shonen history. he started of as a literal EXTRA before snowballing into the very same character horikoshi decided would defeat all for one, the original scariest antagonist of the entire series. someone not even ALL MIGHT could defeat.
but circling back, yeah. heroes rising was definitely not the ending horikoshi thought of first, nor was it the ending he thought of last. ultimately, it was simply another route he couldve taken into wrapping up deku's fate into what it was (probably) always meant to be:
deku was gonna lose one for all no matter what.
it's kind of fitting, honestly -- for this to be the ultimate conclusion to the series. it makes the most sense, since what sent deku down this path so many years ago was his mother apologizing to deku for being quirkless; as if being quirkless meant he was born inferior to those who had quirks. people, after all according to deku's famous beginning monologue, are not born equal.
Even still, i thought to note: deku never stopped wanting to be a hero. we all know this, obviously. this was his driving force -- but then when you REALLY think about the implications, you have to ask. what the heck was deku even planning to do?!
he had ideas. he had hope. he wrote notebooks for the future and thought of his costume for being a hero -- but not once do i remember him writing about his hero experience as if he was suddenly going to develop a quirk. he was planning on saving people quirkless -- an extremely interesting motivation especially when he couldve so easily chosen to walk the path of being a doctor or engineer instead if he wanted to save people so badly. its a story about conviction, about doing the things you wanna do in the way you wanna do it no matter what ANYONE else says and hey wait a minute that sounds familiar
it doesnt quite read that way at first, especially because of how izuku almost listened to all might about "being realistic" when the first met and nearly gave up on becoming a hero entirely, but izuku is a lot similar to katsuki in the sense that no matter what gets in his way -- he is determined to achieve his dreams in the way HE CHOOSES, and not the way that is more "convenient".
even when you look at just his name, "deku" in the way that uraraka had interpreted it (dekiru -- "you can do it!") and the way deku reexplains it to katsuki in deku vs kacchan 1 ("the deku that doesn't give up!") you can so easily tell that deku from the very beginning has only ever needed the slightest push to pursue being a hero, quirk-or-not-be-damned. hell, we even see a glimpse of this possibility in the sports festival race when deku absolutely DECIMATES not just bakugou but also TODOROKI (as well as every single other damn student participating in the festival) with nothing but robot scraps and his balls of steel. it just so happens that until the promise of one for all, no such encouragement or push was ever given to deku in his pursuit of heroicism, most especially in comparison to katsuki who had been receiving praise and validation for his goals his whole life.
i'd argue that deku's conviction is even stronger than katsuki in a way no other person seems to recognize (except maybe katsuki himself). katsuki had received only positive feedback and zero competition for his goals growing up while deku received nothing but discouragement. both of them kept the conviction of being a hero for TEN YEARS; neither wavering til the day of the sludge incident.
that aside; what comes next?
we know the story after that. deku gets his quirk, he goes to school, he fights, he drops out, he fights some more, and now he's standing before shigaraki tomura with every quirk of one for all unlocked and over twice the power that all might had in his prime -- fully knowing he's about to lose EVERYTHING in order to defeat shigaraki.
this is deku we're talking about. he doesn't care. he knows the implications and what that will mean for his dream -- but his goal right now is in front of him. his goal is shigaraki, consumed by hatred, threatening to take down the world izuku loves most into a pit of misery and decay because society failed people like them. does he care? probably. will he refuse to give up his power if it means not saving the world and fulfilling one for all's purpose? absolutely not.
deku has made all might's quirk his own, but one for all does not belong to him. it belongs to yoichi. and kudou. and bruce and nana and all of the other users who built that quirk for generations in hopes that one day, someday, someone would be able to yield it all and bring down the monstrosity that created it in the first place. deku will not hesitate, but also deku knows what he will lose.
i have... a few things i dislike about this.
Admittedly, i do think that this is a better resolution than the simple brute strength approach of Heroes Rising. For one, while i do love heroes rising with my entire heart and soul, i firmly believe it would not have been a satisfying conclusion to the core lessons and teachings bnha tries to impart throughout the story. simply outnumbering and outpowering afo/shigaraki would not be enough to close yoichi's story and one for all -- much less the story of shigaraki himself as tenko, the boy consumed by hatred.
Still, this new ending that horikoshi has laid out leaves me with more questions; as well as large expectations for how izuku's character will close out. its complicated, because deku's evolution and development is subtle and intricate in a way i havent seen from other shonen protagonists and i worry about doing it justice.
but most of my problems have to do with bakugou katsuki.
(aint that the truth)
i know i mentioned that bakugou was never intended to be a major character, but i want it to be known that that was only in the beginning. season 1, maybe even season 2 -- but horikoshi had said it best himself in that bakugou katsuki, against his permission, had gained a life of his own and inserted himself into the very grain of mha's story. you cannot deny this.
he is the series deuteroganist inarguably. one of the most beloved characters and one of the most attentively-written development arcs in the whole series. katsuki in and of himself embodies major themes in bnha that make it so that ditching his development and impact last minute after defeating all for one would reflect poorly upon the conclusion of the story itself. he and deku are intertwined in arcs -- even if they do have separate paths at the end of the day. katsuki is the one izuku told about the quirk. the one who followed izuku during the paranormal liberation arc. the one who understands one for all and is determined to learn about it more than anyone else barring all might and deku himself. the one who is closer to izuku than anyone else.
it can't be over for their arc, no matter what way you see it. friends? rivals? hero partners? what comes next, when the smoke clears? what comes next when izuku gives shigaraki hell, like katsuki told him to?
katsuki's atoned. we accept that, have known it since chapter 285 and have continued to know it until the iconic apology in the rain. that's not where katsuki stops however, because we know that its not all about begging for izuku's forgiveness nor atoning for himself. its about catching up to izuku -- the last words he uttered before shigaraki crushed his heard say it all.
"can i still catch up to you, izuku?"
since the moment katsuki died, we've been given a metric ton of material to read through what he and izuku have become in the story. firstly, the point of katsuki being the person closest to izuku. what does this mean? what does that say about katsuki? is he supposedly the person izuku loves the most? the person izuku believes in the most? i'd argue these two criterion would easily fit his mother or all might a lot better -- not his childhood friend turned bully turned rival turned barely-friend. katsuki sure as hell didn't believe he was the person closest to izuku before shigaraki brought it up as evidenced by the fact that he let IIDA bring deku back to UA -- and neither does izuku as far as i bet. what was shigaraki's intention?
katsuki heard that statement. he hasnt said anything, but he definitely heard it. its an open end that is left entirely unanswered PRECISELY because katsuki fought afo on his own and izuku is about to tackle shigaraki without katsuki by his side. if it was heroes rising's ending wherein they would both fight shigaraki and take him down together -- then that statement would easily be answered by how their strength and bond is the one thing that gave them an upper hand in the final battle. other than that... i'm not entirely sure how they're going to have katsuki and izuku acknowledge katsuki's brief "death" and Tomura's reasons thereof.
But fine, lets ignore that for the time being and move on to what happened when Katsuki came back.
katsuki answered izuku's cry for help. he came back to life in the last moment to save all might when izuku was too busy fighting tooth and nail to win. they are the penultimate example of two sides of a hero; the win and save. not one without the other. every single parallel thus far between izuku and katsuki have always been to draw attention over and over to each of their stubborn convictions to win and save under all might's tutelage.
katsuki has chosen to prioritize winning and fighting over saving and rescuing over. and over. and over. and over again. at every single opportunity from the very beginning of the series. in usj, in sports festival, in the final exam, every choice he's made up until --
chapter 285 - bakugou katsuki: rising.
he chooses to save izuku in this instant. as he says, his body moved on its own -- or in other words, he felt like how izuku has always did since the sludge villain incident. this is bakugou katsuki catching up to midoriya izuku. its katsuki realizing that he needs to save so deku can win, and actually being okay with that for once. it's a major turning point in his character that clearly tells even horikoshi that there's absolutely no way katsuki can go back to being a side character within the plot of bnha after a development like this.
and then, after this instance, we notice it happen again and again. katsuki choosing to save to win instead of winning to save. katsuki protecting best jeanist against the nomu. katsuki coming to chase after izuku when he runs away from UA. katsuki (in a way) saving aoyama when its revealed he's the traitor. hell, katsuki saving ALL MIGHT as soon as izuku -- the savior -- begs someone to save his idol when he can't because he's too focused on trying to win.
so what changed?
what changed since the moment of chapter 285 was katsuki accepting his fears and anxieties. katsuki letting go of his aversity to working with deku. the reason katsuki started accepting the path of saving to win was because he TRUSTED deku to win where he couldnt.
this is katsuki accepting that him and izuku already surpassed all might together.
but katsuki said it himself. it's not over. he accepts that him and izuku are finally on equal footing -- hell, he admits he's the one who needs to play catch up. it's not about katsuki conceding to weakness, but katsuki being able to trust in izuku to finish the job. the point is that they both will break and break until they win the way they choose to, and the other will be there to win while they save and save while they win. moreso, katsuki still wants to be number 1. he still wants to catch up and surpass deku. he wants to fight by deku's side. but ... as we've established:
deku will be quirkless soon.
my problem (or, i guess, curiosity?) with the path horikoshi seems to be going down for the end of this story is what happens to this end? what happens to the wonder duo? i believe in a quirkless deku plot as much as the next person -- but any reader would find it easy to see that once deku loses one for all, he will not be nearly as efficient nor quick nor capable of a hero as he once was. especially not against a developed katsuki with mastery over cluster explosions.
he will lose one for all and he won't ever be the pro-hero he was going to be before the final war arc. katsuki will get number 1 surely, but will he be happy about this resolution? i don't think so. All Might himself had said it when Katsuki spoke to him about his relationship to Izuku; that the twin stars reminded All Might very much of his own rivalry with Endeavor and the bitter feelings it created.
endeavor expressed regret and a bitter end to their rivalry; the acknowledgement of the bitter truth that the only reason he was the number one hero is because all might lost his own quirk. he knew he didn't deserve the mantle all might had held for a long time before him. he knew that he was still only just playing catch up with the wisdom and understanding of heroicism that all might had in his heart from the beginning. endeavor will likely retire from being a pro-hero unsatisfied with this truth and his own victory at becoming the no.1 at the very end -- never feeling like he truly surpassed all might of his own accord. both enji and toshinori -- victims of their destiny.
is this the fate that will befall katsuki once izuku is quirkless for good?
There are many questions I have in wake of the recent chapter. The end of the series is here, and that's a whole can of worms i haven't touched in and of itself. We all saw this coming; some of us know that this was always going to be Izuku's fate since the beginning of the series. But now that it's more than just izuku's character involved in his dreams of being a hero -- i dont know how this series is going to conclude and if it will be satisfying to any means. there's a lot of questions i still have; bakugous arc feeling incomplete ever since he came back to life, the conclusion of all might and one for all's dreams now that they will disappear altogether. where does deku go after this? where does bakugou go? where do any of them?
i guess i gotta wait and see lol
