whisper in my ear by Anonymous for FableSecrets

(T, 8K, 1/1)

Shouto draws nearer. The boy stays in place, fingers curling slightly into the grass as he looks up at Shouto. Shouto tilts his head. “Was that you?” He stops a foot from the boy. The sunlight overhead catches the object on the ground before him, casting his chest in a brilliant shade of scarlet. A perfect ruby oval, barely larger than the size of the boy’s fist, lying on the grass between the boy’s arms and shimmering under the sun. Shouto stoops down, a hair’s breadth from the boy, eyes wide with excitement. The boy’s eyes narrow at him, though his suspicions are lost on Shouto. Eventually, he turns back to the ruby oval. “This is a dragon egg,” Shouto breathes, heart pounding wildly with excitement. Beside him, the boy scoffs. “Obviously it’s a dragon egg, genius.”

Todoroki Shouto meets Bakugou Katsuki, attempts to become a dragon whisperer, fights a demon army, hatches three dragon eggs, and falls in love. In an entirely chaotic order.

Another Wednesday/Wenclair idea because I hate myself- The 5th Ostrace

My brain keeps spewing ideas but refuses to let me write a story lol. The idea is that there is a new Ostrace (using my BNHA au term) category to be generalized.

And that being aliens.

It kinda make sense: nonhumans that can't exactly accustom to norm society, so they will fit into Ostrace society (there're many reason why, especially one big reason).

The idea that multiple alien states contacted humanity before the main series so that the characters could be used to them. The alien states, other than what our countries do for diplomacy like cultural centers and participating in local events, also do student exchange program, including sending some to Nevermore.

(I already have this idea other with other franchises, using my original alien races in doing so, like Harry Potter (got this fic idea since 2013) and The Prom.)

Being nonhumans (some don't even look remotely as one), it will be difficult for the exchange students to fit in. However, another reason why they will be categorized as the 5th Ostrace- well, other than some being vastly different in appearance (one of the race, Rín [not actually the race name] is just a rubber forehead human with only pointy ears) is due them being considered mono-sex races (a homosexual species if you will).

Unlike humans and vast majority of animals being gonochorism, the alien races are mono-sex (think Asari from Mass Effect, which what inspired me [either positive or negative]), though ironically the majority will be classified as semi-monosex. Because of that, depending on the species and culture, gender is not as rigid compared to humans, especially Western cultures.

I don't really know else to write ther next one (I feel like I need to finish what my last paragraph left out lol) but I want to talk about the three alien races, or more like the three countries. There're three alien countries (two states having multiple different races) that come in contact. I don't actually have proper names for them (except the United Planetary Democracy, but that because they never bother with a singular name like the UAE), I do have their type of governmen. The three are: the United Kingdom (not actually accurate since kingdom is gender-neutral in the language, also ghere is a good reasonwhy it's called that), the UPD, and the Empire (in their defense, it's not the proper terminology [think Japan, though that isn't good either], so they wasn't as prepared for the backlash lol).

Okay, enough of that, time to talk about three alien races/countries:

So, first up is the Rín (singular is Rin), who makes up the UK. The UK is one of the states that made up of multiple races, and that because they all originated from the same planet. Rín isn't even a proper race but actually a genus (think Homo like humans). There's some races that aren't even in the same taxonomic family or class, and you piss off a lot of other people off for it. One of the races who made up like 70-80% are - I calling them Idorín for now (I never properly name almost any this, but I did categorize this mentally). Idorín are the most human-like with only superficial details being pointy ears, more colorful anime-like hairs, and having light-blue blood. Internally, their anatomy is a bit more avian (they're still viviparity). This is due to having airsac along lungs, a bit more lighter bones (through more richer with carbon). The average height is 6'3.5, though this depends on the... subsex(lol)? They're also semi-monosex, one being Ovumsere (they give birth; make up 60%), and Polisere (they... provide gametes?; make up 35%)(there are true mono-sex, though very rare; 5%). Anatomically, they're not very different other than heights (only three inches: Ovumsere av. 6'3 and Polisere av. 6'6), voice (only a bit), and genitals (lol). They're very culture diverse, average lifespan of 160 years (now 350 thanks to gene therapy). Also, there're humans in the UK before even contacting Earth (though their population doesn't even make a percentage).

The second race are So'lenas (ironically the name only name I actually come up a decade before), and another ironic twist runs the UPD. The country that has a very vague name is actually the only one that has one species (lol, lmao even). They're human-like, though not like Idorín. They kind of filled up the Blue-Skinned Soace Babe tropes, though not that much (their nose is actually sensory organ like a whale melon, they actually breathe either through their mouth or a blowhole atop their back). Their skin range either teal, light to dark blue, and purple. Their skin is a bit reptilian, though softer, and resemble more like that over your knuckles. They have freckle-like bioluminescence called 'his'kiri (meaning "star-kiss", another named for So'lena is His'lena, "Star-Person"), crest and tendril-like atop their head, semi-aquatic being (though depends on their culture of how they utilize it) which allows them to hold their breath 10-45 minutes (they look very voluptuous because of this), and give live birth (they do have breasts). They have a paddle-line tail that them swim more effectively and digitigrade legs. They're true mono-sex beings, with an average height of 6'4 and a lifespan of 300 years. Because of this, they have very loose gender roles, viewing it more like how queer women view butch and femme identity. Do of the planet (actually a satellite) they hail from (being very hot and humid), many of their culture clothing have lose clothes and transparent garments; it will be common to see their breasts (some fashion are even similar to ancient Minoan)(it also helps they've petite breasts and is not as sexualized compared to many human cultures).

The third race are Rahros ('hr' pronounce like Spanish J but with more vibration, also the full name is Ahnta'Sarnu'Rahros), and they're the majority of the Empire. Their government is a semi-constitution theocratic monarchy. The Empire and UK have a huge rivalry, almost Cold War political environment (think England-France rivalry). The race is the least human (being bipedal with a slight hunchback and 4 limbs their only resemblance), being archosauroform, though resembling more to crocodilians than to avians Most of their body are either in scute or soft scales. Though they have an upper and lower mouth, they have a pair of mandible that helps them push large food down their mouth. Their tongue is more like butterflys' (proboscis), and they can't move their mouth sideways (many of their cuisine are bite sides). They have tendrils- sometimes referred as dread or braid- growing from their head that resemble hair, shaping either smooth circle or overlapping scale oval, ranging half-an-inch to 1½ inches in thickness, and being made of keratin- it can be trimmed without hurting them (think like horse hoof trimming). They have three digit fingers and two opposing thumb in each hand. Their legs are digitigrade so they prefer to wear sandals and a small, vestigal tail. Their body shape is athletic and lean. The average height is 6'7.5, with ovumsere 6'6, while polisere are 6'9. (I have an idea Rahros character who's 8'4, 500 pound beef cake. Their dorm is in the 1st because they accidentally collapsed through the second floor. Somehow, they got their ass kick by Wednesday, fought and lost to the Hyde, and enjoys fighting Enid werewolf form). Their ovumsere/polisere ratio is similar to Idorín, though they give birth through oviparity: 45 days for the embryonic development and 8 months for incubation. Their scute colors range from light (similar to blond) to dark brown, bluish black (similar to alligators), and light sky blue. Their average lifespan is 146 years, though to 320 after gene therapy.

(Congratulations to the local lesbian, especially to Yoko and Divina.)

(Rín mocked polisere Rahros for having similar genitals to males, and Rahros fucking hate it.)

(One thing I trying to do is make their culture [each species has hundreds of different cultures and ethnicity] seem as different than our own, especially due to their sex and gender. One thing is that they having communal bathing and multiple relative family units living in the same housing [some Idorín/Rín culture/planet/satellite has segregated sex but this is due of excluding males from public space]).

I don't really have a plot, not compare to the Harry Potter one, however I do have some ideas.

My idea is the two children of my two OC have (ironicall, i based them on Wednesdayand Enid) are a couple, one being an Idorin (ovumsere) and anorher a So'lena. Even though both characters can't get either the other one pregnant (this isn't star trek/star wars), they use genetic engineering, so each child will have one percent of the other parent's genes. The two children are some of the main protagonists in the fic- the other are Wednesday and Enid - following their staying at Nevermore. Some conflict I think of is the Idorin OC having an identity crisis- she basically a clone of their mother and trying to explore who they are (and being short, only 5'8). The So'lena child doesn't have this problem since an average So'lena gain 95% from their mother. However, the So'lena OC too has one, of be it having an ethnic/species identity crisis- they rarely interacted with their own species that wasn't their own So'lena mother (they both lived their Idorin mother maternal family, the housing having around 100 people in it [it helps the family are a noble dynasty]).

Another idea is about how all three (or multiple) species are, either though physically and biologically different from one another and to humans, still share some common traits. One is how all 4 love to gossip and talk shit behind their back. I want Wednesday, who was excited about meeting them, disappointed how asinine, unambitious, and unimaginable they're, being so similar to humans. The Idorin OC will point out how idiotic and problematic she sounded, especially if she had said that to another Idorin.

Probably another idea is Nevermore nonalien characters exploring the aliens culture. One idea is Yoko trying to learn So'lena lingua franca, helps that I based the language on Japanese and Hawaiian (syllabary characters, no third person pronouns, a mixed of particle and grammatical case, subject-object-verb sentence, etc). Divina enjoying swimming with So'lena due of having aquatic body-type, though they will complain about the cold (their thermoregulation is meant to dissipate heat as quickly as possible). Enid will enjoy listening to one of the Rin races (having a more feline appearance) song genre, sounding similar to K-pop and J-pop (genre name in English will be Songstress Motet), though she will be shock just how dark and gruesome some of the lyrics are (think Yoru ni Kakeru).

I don't have much else to add, but this is a good amount, I think.

For the Planet BnHA round 19 exchange, I got two (2!) gift fics! I am so spoiled, thank you to the creators for these:

Pairing: Shinsou/Bakugou

Rating: Mature

It was neither of their fault, really. They were turning the corner of the haunted house cautiously, and someone had jumped out behind them. The intent was to chase, but as Katsuki turned to fight, Hitoshi grabbed him and stumbled backwards over his own feet. Which ended with Hitoshi pressed up against the wall, Katsuki's hands slamming against said wall either side of his head, and ending up damn near face to face.

Pairing: Uraraka/Toga

Rating: Explicit

Class 2A go to a farm and Ochako ventures into the corn maze by herself. She doesn't find the exit, but finds someone she wasn't expecting to see.

The author reveals happen next week.

[deadboyswalking]

I know I was going to write and publish all of Strange New World by December 31st, but I just can't push out 4 chapters this week, especially considering how long my chapters are. I wrote over 6k more than I intended to on 2 non-scheduled fics for the Planet BNHA exchange and it threw off my entire writing plan for December, then I barely managed to write a measly 5k for a Shades chapter that SHOULD have been nearly double that to match its partner chapter for the Overhaul arc.

I'm going to try to publish chapter 2 by the 31st, then the rest in early January. Besides that and Shades Chapters 11-12, I'm going to take a hiatus for a while.

To put some things into perspective, my word count since November 29th is 34, 155 words across 7 different fics, not counting outlines and prep work for other projects. I need to force myself to take a break because this is not sustainable, especially with the mental load of my actual job.

I'm burned out and angry with myself.

heart sounds by n_r

I didn't think I was going to be able to write anything in February, but then, at just the right time, the opportunity arose to write a gift for @stereonightss for round 7 of the Planet BNHA exchange. I just HAD to take it. :D

I wrote this to a selection of songs (YouTube) from a playlist stereo shared with me, and basically took his instruction to indulge myself completely to heart (haHA): this ended up being a bunch of experimental stuff, including two poems and a double drabble. I had a lot of fun with it!

between Here and There

Shouto yawned again, shaking his head. “All this time spent traveling, and we’ve actually gone back in time,” he said, rubbing his eye.

Tenya blinked, running calculations in his head. With the sixteen-hour time difference between their take-off and landing points, it was as if they started the day over again. A slow smile spread across his lips and he adjusted his glasses. “Heh, it seems we have.”

.

A small fic in which Tenya and Shouto have a tired discussion about time travel while waiting for their connecting flight.

I participated in the Planet BNHA Exchange over on twitter and wrote this little iidatodo fic for AO3 user SnowFallsinWinter!

You can read it here on AO3!

[aerugonian]

what are your favorite crossover fics?

Crossovers are one of my favorite types of fic!! I’ve read a lot of them over the years - here are a few of my favorites. They’re sorted alphabetically by fandom as much as I could lmao  

---

Silver-Haired Stranger by TheSimplestWriter (T / gen / 34k words / wip / violence / ATLA x Naruto)

Kakashi dies protecting his village fighting against Pein... Except he actually didn't and is now in the middle of a desert. Great. [Kakashi swaps one war for another, but he only wants to get back home. Things happen along the way.] 

The Dragon-King’s Temple by Kryal (T / gen / 196k words / completed / violence / ATLA x Stargate SG-1)

Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.

Even the Dragon-King's temple floods. 

Copy That, Copycat by Nakashira (G / gen / 19k words / wip / violence / BNHA x Naruto)

Kakashi Hatake dies the Copycat-nin and is reborn with a copycat quirk.

Everything becomes a disaster, and Monoma is tired.

Wonderboy by Tsume_Yuki (T / gen / 19k words / wip / chose not to warn / BNHA x Naruto)

Who knew some dimensions had actual child labour laws?

In which Kakashi is reborn, the Hero Commission doesn’t put all their eggs in one Hawks shaped basket and Shouta isn't getting paid enough to deal with this shit.

Otherwise known as Kakashi in 1A. 

Victory Series by ewfte (T / gen / 96k words / wip / violence / BNHA x Naruto)

A fact about Todoroki Shouto: that is not his name. 

The Son by ceterisparibus (T / gen / 95k words / wip / violence / Daredevil x Prodigal Son)

When Matt Murdock's client is falsely accused of murder, he thinks he's on his own to prove her innocence. Turns out he might have an unexpected ally in the form of the NYPD's profiler. If they can ever figure out how to work together, they might be able to help not only the client but also each other. 

Abandon by LadyKG (G / gen / 71k words / completed / chose not to warn / Death Note x Naruto)

It is said that you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. Obito became that villain, and then a blonde boy bright as the sun saved him, letting him die as himself. So why is he waking up? And why can’t he get back? All the doors have been shut. Locked. His reality abandoning him to a dimension not his own. 

The Colours of the World by MaiKusakabe (M / gen / 120k words / wip / no warnings / FMAB x Harry Potter)

When Roy Mustang went to retrieve his eyesight from Truth, he wasn’t expecting to end up doing a job in exchange. It couldn’t even be an easy job, of course, because Edward’s assessment of Truth was a pretty accurate one.

Shadows’ Shadows by Ambiguity in D Major (T / gen / 82k words / wip / no warnings / FMAB x Harry Potter)

It was foolproof. He'd trade his arm and Gate for Alphonse and go home. Simple, right? Unfortunately, nothing is ever that easy for Edward Elric. At least the secret societies, countrywide conspiracies, and evil overlords are par for the course. 

The Case of the Unwelcome Owl by FayJay (G / gen / 7k words / completed / no warnings / Harry Potter x Sherlock)

"So," said John, feeling out of his depth once again. "An owl." It was the same mild, politely curious tone of voice with which he had previously found himself uttering such things as: "So – three bags of frozen AB negative," and "So – a selection of human ears."

"Goodness, John, with deductive prowess like that you'll soon be putting me in the shade," Sherlock said tartly. "Can't sneak anything past you, can we?" 

It’s Trousers, not Pants! by DancingLassie (T / gen / 11k words / completed / chose not to warn / Marvel x Sherlock)

Five times John helped/comforted the Avengers and the one time they helped and comforted him.

"He wore bland cardigans and jumpers, made an extortionate amount of tea, used words like ‘bollocks’ and blushed faintly whenever someone mentioned pants. How was this guy supposed to replace Coulson?" 

Mob Boss by esama (T / gen / 6k words / abandoned / no warnings / MP100 x Naruto)

In which Reigen teleports, improvs and accidentally takes over a small nation. 

CCG Public Enemy No 1 by euphoric image (T / gen / 19k words / wip / no warnings / Naruto x Tokyo Ghoul)

Kakashi had a single red-and-black eye for more than half his life. Now, he has two. 

Perdition’s Flames by i_ship_an_armada (E / Johnlock / 63k words / completed / no warnings / Sherlock x Star Trek)

Sherlock would do anything to save him. Risk anything. Give anything. His money, his life. His soul. What he does, though, is change both of their destinies forever. Genetic re-engineering is the only option left. It turns out researchers underestimated the life expectancy and potential abilities of genetically re-engineered subjects.

The British government and what would eventually become the United Federation of Planets, however, had not.

My villain OCs: The Problem-Solvers

Fandom: My Hero Academia

Fanfic: untitled AFO!Izuku AU

Context: As promised at the end of my AFO!Izuku AU timeline, here is the first of several posts about my fic's villain OCs.

Today's bunch are minor characters I created because I needed to solve a problem. They don't get much, or any, development. They exist simply to enable the plot to happen, and most only appear in one or two scenes. They’re so unimportant, I only have placeholder names for them at this point.

While their Quirks are all incredibly useful, many also have side affects that make them impossible to use without hurting people. 

____________________

The Universal Translator

One of the goals of my AFO!Izuku AU is making the world feel bigger. I can't have Japan be the heart of hero society if we never see anything outside Japan, can I? But that raises another problem: how the heck can I have people from different sides of the planet casually talk to each other? Easy! A universal translator Quirk.

Babel works for the Consortium. With a touch, he can make a person fluent in every language (that has living fluent speakers on Earth). Obviously, this is so incredibly valuable that it needs one hell of a downside to explain why he can only find work as a villain. (Not that he's reluctant. Babel is totally okay with his Quirk's cost; it's not like he's the one paying it.)

For every person Babel "gifts" this way, he has to assign another person to lose the ability to speak, write, and understand language—any and all language. This victim is left unable to understand or communicate with any person or media around them, for the rest of their life. (Babel's villain name makes sense now, doesn’t it?) And that "rest of their life" is usually short, because no victim of this has ever lasted more than a couple years before killing themselves—being that isolated, that alienated, is unbearable for a human being.

But it gets worse! Victims and recipients are paired. Within several hours of choosing and touching a recipient, he needs to choose and touch a victim, or else suffer the downsides of his Quirk himself. When a victim dies, their paired recipient loses their universal fluency (and vice versa if a recipient dies before the victim, though this rarely happens). Thanks to the high suicide rate of his victims, Babel needs to constantly create more of them.

Obviously, the only people who'd be okay with this cost are pretty awful. The Consortium is canny enough that they help Babel choose victims who either won't be missed or that the Consortium needs silenced (which they can literally, thanks to Babel).

Random bit of backstory for Babel: his personal paired victim is the only one he's forcibly kept alive. He hasn't lost his universal fluency for almost twenty years now.

The Medic

Hurtswap exists because I felt that Inko's faction needed a healer on their side. Hurtswap's Quirk allows them to swap an injured body part with someone else's healthy body part. This has obvious downsides: they need access to uninjured people to heal any injuries. And unlike Babel, they can't delay the exchange for very long; if Hurtswap heals someone, they need to assign the injury to someone else within a few minutes, or else suffer the injury with their own body.

Inko takes Hurtswap in when they're still a kid, but by time Izuku starts at UA, they're in their twenties, and they're pretty skilled. They've gotten creative, and can swap injuries onto animals, provided the animal has the right anatomy. For example, Hurtswap can give a human's broken femur to any animal with a femur (and the human's femur will be healed), but they couldn't do this with, say, an insect, because insects don't have that kind of skeleton.

I've been going back and forth on how to write them. Sometimes I think it'd be interesting to make them a Mad Doctor(tm) who enjoys using their Quirk, mostly because I like the idea of giving Himiko an adult in her life who sympathizes with, or even adores, how creepy and stabby she is.

Other times, I lean towards making Hurtswap a woobie who hates hurting people or animals, but still feels obligated to save other people. Someone who reluctantly swaps your broken arm onto a rat, then completely ignores you and cries and dotes over the now-injured rat. This version obviously allows for more angst, and possibly more character development, but I don't want to write Inko pressuring a kid into using a Quirk they hate.

We'll have to see which direction I take them.

The Wealthy Sponsor

So like, where is homeless single mom Inko getting the money to establish a found family villainous empire? Answer: somebody rich is using her shelter to launder money.

I also wanted to address an issue that canon BNHA doesn't really touch: class. In-canon, Shinsou has a "villainous" Quirk, and needs to follow the straight-and-narrow rules just to get a fair shake. In this AU, Inko's sponsor also has villainous Quirk, but he’s rich and powerful. The law protects him, but it does not bind him—the inverse of Shinsou.

Secret Thief's Quirk lets him know the secrets of the people around him. Its strength is based on distance. Across the street from you? He can learn secrets that would be mildly embarrassing to you if the wrong person learned them. Shaking your hand? He knows the secrets that could destroy your life if they got out.

Secret Thief got booted out of UA for being a real mean son of a bitch. (Not by Aizawa; Secret Thief is actually slightly older than him. Also he was, naturally, in the management course.) But Secret Thief's family was also rich, so he had options; he ~redeemed~ himself by going on an apology tour, donating money and even personally volunteering at various charities. At one of them, he meets Inko, and immediately picks up on all the secrets she's keeping.

Secret Thief sees Inko as easy prey. She works in a sketchy part of town with sketchy people (her shelter is one of the few with a "no questions asked" policy, so a lot of people with "bad" Quirks, or who're skirting the edge of the law, end up there), and she treasures her son, Izuku.

As far as Secret is concerned, he's being very nice: Inko gets legitimacy, money and aid she needs to continue her work, a contact among rich and influential people, and a more robust cover for her illegal activities.

All he gets out of it is a pet project to build his reputation and skills with, a legally-separate organization to funnel and hide resources in, easy access to desperate people willing to work under the table, and plausible deniability if anyone finds out. Oh, and Secret makes it very clear that if the public ever learns what Inko has done, she manipulated him, and she will take the fall.

Secret Thief comes the closest to getting a character arc. He's obviously in a position of power over Inko, capable of destroying her life. But later, after Inko's gang has built ties to powerful groups like the Consortium (and even dangerous people like All For One), Secret Thief realizes she's outgrown him—he's just one of many influential contacts she has, and the rest have power he can't touch.

The Secret Keeper

So with all sorts of secrets to be kept, and especially with Secret Thief and other mind-readers prowling around, how do villains keep the wrong information from getting out to the wrong people?

Censor is a freelancer for other villains. Her Quirk, Classified, makes it so that if you learn any new information when it's activated, you become unable to share that information with anyone else—unless the other person themselves already knows it. This applies to everything, not just important secrets.

For example, if you learn a new fact about octopuses, you won't be able to talk, write, or otherwise signal it to another person unless that other person already knows that same fact. Now replace "octopuses" with any information you don't want people finding out.

Her Quirk is one of the few counters to psychic Quirks, outright blocking information from them. Censor's character debut is when the Consortium reaches out to Inko, and they want to share information with her despite the possibility that she may refuse to join them.

Random bit of backstory for Censor: she's from a big family, all with similar Quirks. They have close ties to the Consortium, and were some of the few "civil servants" of the supervillain dictator era to side with that group instead of All For One's League of Villains.

The Teleporter

It gives me a lot more options in the story if characters can just sometimes appear where they need to be.

Tesseract can shift the space within a thirty-meter-across cube around himself into a higher dimension, both surveying and quickly relocating to any other spot of his choosing. He is very busy, since teleportation Quirks are rare and obviously valuable, so it's not like he hangs around the Important Characters moving them whenever. There are plenty of times when someone has to shrug and take a 12-hour plane flight.

Tesseract's Quirk has no major downsides, aside from the fact that he doesn't look human—just a vaguely-humanoid shattered pane of multi-colored glass. He's relatively young (late teens), but he's been groomed since he was a kid by CORE's own longtime (and elderly) teleporter to be her successor.

Notes: I’ve put way too much thought into these, despite how unimportant they are.

Tomorrow: Two other OCs. Both close to Inko, and they actually get character development!

Fic Author Tag Game

AO3 Name: Nightmoonz

Fandoms: BnHA has the most fics (due to Seroroki for sure),��Shades of Magic, Octopath Traveler, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Star Trek (RIP NEVER FINISHE), Hawkeye Matt Fraction run, Teen Wolf, Promare 

Number of fics: 32 although there were some that were orphaned on Ao3. 1 on LJ, a number on FF but we do not talk about the fandoms or fics on FF and I know thankfully none of you will ever find them

Tagging @zerounitrgb​ @walkingtheplankonasinkingship​ @ellieb3an​ @thecookiemonster77​ @slumbrslumbrs​

1) Fic you spent the most time on: err well we have several WIPS that are partially published but if we’re talking finished fics then it’s Soba Saturdays and it’s honestly my favorite work I’ve ever written. I wish more people would read it but it’s primarily a gen fic with a sprinkling of a rare pair so it doesn’t shock me that it’s not as read as others... Still it’s a brother bonding fic between the Todoroki brothers (Natsuo and Shouto). Ngl it’s kind of a love letter to my younger self explaining that it’s okay to not know how to feel about an abusive figure in your life (I think you guys know who I mean in this scenario). It transitions to Natsuo ruining Shouto’s life by being 5000% obnoxious when it comes to Shouto’s crush on Todoroki. >:3  Basically I just love this fic a lot and I am super proud of it. For Fics I have yet to complete it’s If You Could Hold Me Closer... (Tiny Dancer). So this has been in the works for a long time and the reason for this is well life happened, but also I know how I want it to end but every time I go to write it... the words just aren’t coming out right and this fic means a lot to me especially since @zerounitrgb​ gave me the title and it’s been so much fun to work on I just really want to get that ending right yk?

2) Fic you spent the least time on: The least amount of time? Mind You Always for Octopath Traveler. So This was for an exchange, see I was a mod for it and one person disappeared off of the face of the planet so I had to be a pinch hitter. I had less than 24 hours to write this and uh I did the damn thing. I got super inspired and my friend and co-mod beta’d it. Despite the rush, I think it turned out really well and I really like it.

3) Longest fic: this should probably surprise no one Little Words, I think my claim to fame Kiribaku fanfic XD

4) Shortest fic: Adorable Idiots in which two characters are just talking for 554 words XD

5) Most hits: Again, should surprise absolutely no one, Little Words 

6) Most kudos: ... Little Words

7) Most comment threads: XDDDD Little Words

8) Fave fic you wrote: So, I’ve explained why Soba Saturdays means so much to me and that it’s my absolute favorite so let me feature my 2nd favorite: All Tongue Taped :,D I love this fic so much This is just a straight up romance fic full of pining fools, angst, 4 times the didn’t tell each other how they really felt and the one time they did, idiots to lovers and... they’re roommates

9) Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: There are so many... I guess the most notable has to be If You Could Hold Me Closer... (Tiny Dancer) which is the most ridiculous crack fic of all time but I left it on the worst cliff hanger imaginable but that is because I did not know how I could possibly expand it without ruining its crack like nature...

For a serious pick I would say I'm my old college roommate's fake date to his sister's wedding like I actually have an outline-ish idea for this expanding but I don’t know if I could actually sit down and write it. if anyone wants I could post my ideas/outline for it but YEEEEEAH LMAO I have a lot of ideas for this, maybe I will finish it but I would really like to finish If You Could Hold Me Closer... (Tiny Dancer) first.

10) Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning: kjdhfgjsk... I have far too many. I have like two for FE3H, one for Pokémon SWSH, like... 5ish for Seroroki, but tbh I don’t think I’ll post those... but heck if you want to send me an ask for one of them go ahead and I’ll post a little. 

Oh and Thank you @traincat ^___^

WIP Wednesday

Current active drafts: 2

Planet BNHA Exchange #19

Word count: [redacted]

Vibes: [redacted]

Prompt this round is Pumpkin, Spice and Lattes. Reveal will happen in October!

AiBaku - Watch Out for After School Specials part 2

Word count: 1715

Vibes: filthy smut

Outsider POV!!! A fan's perspective ehehe. Bakugou needs to make money to pay off all those canon debts somehow and sensei is willing to help

The live countdown shows a few more minutes before the stream starts. Going by the plucky event description, it is one that he refuses to miss. Under the noted date and time, his favourite star has left a simple and intriguing tease:

        - The school year has started and my sensei is busier than ever. I had to beg on my knees for a long time to convince him to join me! If you can believe it the bruises are still there. I promise you'll be able to see all the marks my sensei gave me - he wants to show them off. Please come with any recommendations for things my sensei can teach us. I have a thirst for knowledge that you all can surely satisfy -

Posted a prompt fill #13 for a Bakugou/Hawks/Lady Nagant rarepair fic:

[elfwreck]

Getting into BNHA from Harry Potter (a jump I have made):

Tragedy - omg so much tragic backstory. Have some Dabi. Maybe some Shigareki, if you like gaslighting with your tragedy. Hawks, if you like gaslighting that doesn't (quite) turn evil. Deku, our protagonist, if you like the overcoming-hardships aspects of a rough backstory. Want tragic backstory with a sweet uwu character? Eri's story is barely started! Want tragedy with a bitter outcome? Catch up on Vigilantes and see where Eraser Head is now.

Also there is plenty of genfic about heroes-vs-villains conflicts.

We don't have anything like harrymort. (I mean. There is some Deku/AFO, but it's beyond tiny.) We do have Dad-For-One, where AFO is Deku's father. We have rather a lot of that. Should hit the "not quite a villain but haha so tangled into villain world" buttons. Also there are several good villain!Deku fics.

Remus/Sirius M/M: EraserMic is your pairing.

Fluff - Class 1-A shenanigans. KiriBaku. Anything tagged Dadzawa or Dadmight.

Enemies to Lovers: BakuDeku, but also, some good EraserMic AU stories.

Snupin - Try EraserMight.

Lucius/Draco shippers: Boy have we got some treats for you in the Todocest tag.

Plotty not-quite-AU but canon divergent: Hero Class Civil Warfare. Yesterday Upon the Stairs. Find some Vigilante!Deku stories.

Snarry - The obvious pairing is Deku/Aizawa. I'm sorry. It's small. But there are plenty of good Deku & Aizawa fics that almost hit the Snarry buttons, with everything but the smut. You can headcanon in the smut. Next choice is Shinzawa, which is more plentiful yay. Enjoy the warped mentor/student dynamics.

Harry/Ginny: Deku/Ochaco is the likely canon endgame pairing.

Harry/Ron: I haven't read much, but I suspect the equivalent is the Deku/Shinsou fic. (Not that either Deku or Shinsou is "like Ron." But there's something about the dynamic between them that feels similar.) Alternately: ShinKami. Kaminari is your "not a good student, but a terrific friend" character.

Ron/Hermione: Try Kacchaco. Katsuki/Ochacco is the "they look like they don't get along but there is obviously some serious chemistry there" het pairing.

Superpowers ("quirks") work a hell of a lot like HP magic. There's no real logic to them. There are new special abilities dragged out of nowhere all the time.

The world is a terrific place for OCs, as teachers, students, or away from the UA High setting entirely.

200+ years of vague history since "the dawn of the age of quirks" that has (1) a character who's still around, (2) some not-exactly-living characters who are still making their presence known, and (3) an entire planet of people with misc superpowers to play with.

The biggest difference between HP fandom and BNHA fandom? BNHA fandom is fucking OBSESSED with age.

All the fandom events have these rules about whether or not you can ship underage characters, how explicit the fics can be, whether you can ship them with adult characters, whether you can ship them even if the fic is set 5+ years after canon and everyone is adults, who is allowed to be involved in the fic fests based on age ("we allow 18+ works so we're not allowing any minors to write for this exchange"), what content is allowed in what Discord channels ("we allow minors, so no nudity here, even in the NSFW channel") and so on.

Imagine if a notable portion of HP fandom screamed about how Harry/Draco was evil because (1) they're teenagers and too young and (2) their canon relationship is hateful and abusive.

However. If you can make the shift from HP to BNHA...

there is so. much. fic. available to read. More all the time. Lots of amazing art.

I've never seen any fandom try so hard to justify clinging to a franchise as Harry Potter fans. Oh my god, guys. There's other stuff out there! I promise you! Awesome stories and worlds to explore. Why the tunnel vision for Hogwarts?

I guess it was a consuming passion for a lot of people who didn't have any other fandoms.

I was gifted the most gorgeous Demon Shigadabi fic for the Planet BNHA Exchange (Round 2) and I need to share it with you all 🖤🖤🖤

One Soul’s Heaven Is Another Soul’s Hell

[ren-shonen]

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Hello hello, it's nice to hear from you! :D I answered that first one about my favorite kind of comment here, but hmm, what can I share about one of my WIPs....

I'm not sure that any of them are "up and coming" — my publishing schedule is no such thing, lol, so please do not hold your breath waiting for me to post anything — but hmm.

I've got one about young pro heroes Kaminari, Shinsou, and Sero that I'd love to write sometime. One of the Planet BNHA Exchange rounds had "You've got it all wrong!" as the theme, but the outline I ended up with for this idea ended up being WAAAY too ambitious to write in the time I had available, so I wrote "Parallel" [ShinKami, explicit] instead. This WIP would be in the same continuity as that fic.

I'm really pleased in particular about the working title, "Obtuse and Scalene," and also about these (still very tentative) possible tags:

outsider POV

unreliable narrator

everyone thinks they're dating

everyone thinks they're cheating

the quoiromantic agenda

relationship anarchy

And here's the one scene I wrote before I realized that I wasn't gonna fit this whole story into 5,000 words:

At this point, it wasn't even a rumor: it was just an obvious fact, the same as Ochako's undeniable crush on Midoriya their first year. Kaminari Denki, Shinsou Hitoshi, and Sero Hanta were together — or at least in some weird sort of triangle — and everybody knew it. 

"I'm not dating either of them, Meens."

...everybody, it seemed, except the three of them.

Mina sipped unimpressedly at her bubble tea, taking in Sero's arms crossed uncomfortably over his chest, the mulish pinch between his brows. She knew that look. Denial.

Sero denied a lot of things: how objectively hot he looked in his skin-tight hero costume; how often Kaminari ended up in Sero's lap at the slightest drunken (and sometimes not-so-drunken) suggestion; how he and Shinsou sat shoulder-to-shoulder like an old married couple. Or, well, maybe Sero didn't deny them, exactly, but he certainly wasn't accepting what they meant.

Sero slouched in his seat, long limbs folded up like he was trying to disappear into the cafe booth as he picked at his black nail polish. It looked good on him, giving him that sexy, bad-boy edge. Mina would never understand why he complained so much about it being added to his costume. Certainly nobody else was.

"Well, who are you sleeping with, then?" She held out a hand before Sero could sputter out his embarrassment. "I mean literally, sweetie. We've been in your apartment — excuse me, 'bachelor pad' — and the bed math? Isn't adding up. One bedroom plus one bedroom doesn't make three roommates, Mister Cellophane."

She studied his face as she took another sip of her bubble tea. Was that disappointment she spied? Oh, this was golden. Classic idiots in love.

This would require a deft touch. Just a little nudge....

Mina arranged her expression into a sympathetic look, trying not to crack too soon as Sero narrowed his eyes. He knew her so well. It was really endearing. But she pressed forward, tapping her straw against her chin.

"Ohh, I see, I see. You're not dating either of them, but you want to be, huh." She pointed two waggling index fingers at him, unable to contain her widening grin. "You know, I bet Kami would—"

"Lay off it, Ashido."

Mina blinked at Sero's low tone. His dark eyes met hers firmly across the table. She'd expected him to look away, to mutter one of his usual quips to cover the grimace that meant he was feeling down on himself. Not... whatever this was.

Sero was serious.

Raising her hands in surrender, Mina sat back in her seat, trying to keep her pout off her face as she changed the subject. She knew she was right about those three. She just had to find the right angle to make it all make sense.
