#also it's kinda hard to tell in the pic but she has hella freckles

Ok y'all asked (ok one person asked, @doctorgerth lol) so here is said Avatar: The Last Airbender OC:

Her name is Minerva Topor, and the reason I thought that was funny is cause "il topo" is "mouse" in Italian (I was deep into my duolingo lessons at the time lol) and Minerva can be shortened to "Minnie", hence: Minnie Mouse *insert groans here*

Basically she was gonna be one of those "girl from our world ends up in a TV show" OCs (cause sorry not sorry I really like those kinds of fics haha) only she wasn't gonna have any knowledge of the series at all, more so just a girl who went from a non-bending world to a bending world. She was gonna discover upon arriving that she could airbend, but she finds out on accident and has no idea how to control it, so she needs to find the only one left who can teach her. Only problem is she actually ended up on Zuko's ship rather than with the Gaang, and even though she doesn't have a clue what his deal is, she knows he's standing in the way of her learning this weird new power she has (and potentially getting home; the Avatar being the bridge between worlds could potentially help her get home as well).

They clash a lot, he figures he could probably use her as bait (she's an airbender which would definitely interest Aang), and every time they come across the Gaang she's trying to convince them that she's not actually from the Fire Nation and that they should take her with them (she doesn't actually end up joining them until the end of book 2 though, and everyone's pretty wary of her. Aang is the only one who trusts her completely, and that's only because at one point early on they were able to steal like 20 minutes without anyone knowing, at which time he kinda helped her learn how to at least access her bending, and then she helps him get away before Zuko shows back up).

She's also super close with Iroh, cause even though Zuko treats her like a prisoner through most of book 1, Iroh's like "nah bruh she's just a young girl who needs help and if my nephew happens to find a reason in that to do more good and possibly give up this chase, then ya know, so be it" lmao (it's probably pretty obvious at this point but it was gonna be a Zuko/OC fic cause I love him and he's my favorite lol) she also has to hide her bending from the rest of the Fire Nation, cause even though she's not the avatar I'm sure they'd leap at the chance to take her out of the picture, and Azula ends up finding out about her and her bending when she goes to capture Zuko and Iroh at the beginning of book 2.

Also for funsies, in book 3 when Aang is being all "flameo, hotman!" everyone else looks to her to see if she can confirm if that's actually how people speak, and she's just basically like "fuck if I know, but it's hilarious so let's go with it" 😂

I doubt I'll ever have the time to actually write out a fic at this point, just between writing here and my OP fics I am writing/want to write, but who knows, maybe someday lol I've always wanted to write an ATLA fic but it's never happened, and tbh I might just enjoy reading fics more than writing them in this case. That could change though, haven't decided yet lol rewatching the series is making me remember all the ideas I had for this OC, and since it's been a few years and I've been able to improve my writing and story prep/ideas, I'm coming up with things I honestly like even better than what I had the first time around

Avatar: The Last Airbender is on Netflix so I'm binging it cause it's legitimately one of my all time favorite shows, and I just keep flashing back to that time I made an OC for it essentially named Minnie Mouse, cause I'm a ridiculous person like that lol

Homie, Lover, Friend (Bakugo x Black! (F)Reader x Deku)

Pt. 1

(This is the second part in a series. Reader-Chan is black and hood coded)

The walk to the cafe had given you time to clear your head. Unfortunately, your body hadn’t quite gotten the memo. Because the way Bakugo had looked at you...the way he touched you... It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make you see your friend in a different light.

It wasn’t as if you didn’t find Bakugo cute. Hell, since he’d grown up, developed his style, and started getting piercings, you had to admit your bestie was a whole ass snack. It also wasn’t lost on you that he may have had a slight crush on you. Hell, you’d seen the way he looked at you when he thought you weren’t paying attention. You may have had a teensie little crush back even, but you always thought it was just innocent. Just a surface level attraction that would never go beyond light flirting.

Was he seriously trying to make a play for your hand? If the predatory way he had stared at your lips was any indication...whew. You had to calm the hell down. You had a date with Izuku, another little cutie that you’d been crushing on for years.

In fact, said cutie was waving at you from the sidewalk as you made your way towards the line of shops and restaurants.

“Hey, y/n!”

“Wassup Zuzu?”

He pulled you into a hug that had you pressed into his hard chest.

Ok, Zuzu...

You thought as you felt his pecs flexing against you. You couldn’t believe the once shy little green haired kid had grown into this confident, fit, and frankly fine as hell, fledgling hero.

“Okay, Zuzu! I see you, boo. All fine and shit.”

He blushed, scratching his green curls. That was more like the Izuku you had grown up with.

“Haha, thanks, y/n. I could say the same about you. You look really pretty.”

You gave him an appreciative smile.

He held open the door to the cafe “After you.”

The two of you settled into a cushiony booth in the back of the shop and placed your orders.

“So, Mr. Big Shot Hero, I ain’t heard from you in a while,” you nudged his leg under the table with your foot. “Wassup? Too busy being famous to hit a bitch up now?”

“I would hardly call myself a hero! I’m just a sidekick, but yeah, I guess it does keep me busy.”

“Clearly,” you pouted. “Too busy for little old me.”

“N-no! Never, y/n. I-I’ve been wanting to reach out to you.” He grabbed your hand across the table. “I’ve missed you a lot, but that’s not an excuse.”

“Zuzu, chill, I’m just playin! I know you’re busy living your best life as a hero,”

Izuku started to correct you, but you cut him off.

“You’re a hero in my book, Deku, so get used to the title.”

He chuckled. “If you say so, y/n.”

“Anyway, boo, I’m just glad we’re finally hangin out-“

“On a date.” Izuku corrected you with a smile.

“On a date.” You smiled back. “See?” You reaches across the table to smack his forearm. “Why can’t you say that you’re a hero with that same confidence?”

“Because,” Deku grabbed your hand, gently, “I’m still working on the hero thing.”

He brushed his thumb along your knuckles.

“But I already succeeded on getting a date with you.”

He kissed your knuckles gently.

Lord Jesus...

Since when did sweet little Deku, get so much big dick energy? And better yet, could he back it up?

You tried to think of a cheeky response, but much like with Bakugo earlier, your mind was failing you.

Thankfully, your cherub cheeked waitress appeared with your order.

“Here you are, you two. The high tea!”

She announced, sitting down a 3-tiered platter piled high with mini sandwiches, cheeses, and tartlets in front of them. A second waitress followed suit with a cup of rose tea for you and chai tea for Deku.

“Oooh! This is so cuuute!” You squealed whipping out your phone. You snapped a quick aesthetic pic for the gram and then another of yourself much to Deku’s amusement.

“Got the shot?” He asked.

“Yessir. Angles n awl uh dat!”

He chuckled.

“So,” He started, “hows your work under Midnight going?”

“It’s been pretty dope actually! Midnight has been training me on how to kick ass and on the art of seduction.” You wiggled your brows.

“Well, you don’t need help on that.”

Apparently not, since I got you and Boombastic thirsting over me...

“No, but it doesn’t hurt to refine my skills. Not to mention, Midnight is way more kick ass than I originally realized. Like, if she wanted to rank higher, she totally could, you can tell she’s just coasting.”

Izuku predictably perked up at the hero talk, his green eyes brightening a little more.

“Oh yeah, Midnight is amazing. She’s much more skilled than people give her credit for, but she’s underestimated due to the nature of her quirk and the way she dresses.”

“I know right!” You exclaimed. “Like, I dead ass saw her take out eight villains even when her quirk wasn’t functioning properly.”

“Aw man, I would have loved to see that!”

“It was so dope. I’ve definitely upped my fighting skills learning from her.”

“Well, from what I’ve seen and heard, you’re doing amazing. I don’t think you could have chosen a better mentor.”

“Says you, Mr. I-work-for-the-number-one-hero.”

“Hey, who better to learn from if I’m gonna be the number one hero one day?“

You cocked a brow at Izuku’s bold declaration, and A blush rose on his freckled cheeks. He scratched his head.

“Oh jeez, I sound like Kacchan, don’t I?”

“Yeah, you do.”

“Speaking of, Kacchan, does he uh...know about us?”

You chuckled nervously. “Well, now he does.”

“How did he take it?” Izuku inquired as he munched in a sandwich.

“He asked me to cancel it and threatened to kill you.”

“Sounds about right.” Izuku snorted.

“And that was before he figured out who I was going out with.”

“Yikes. Guess I’ll get started on my will. Anything you want y/n?”

You giggled.

“Don’t worry, I told him he doesn’t own me and I can go out with who ever I want.”

“Trust me, y/n, I’m not worried about someone whose not in my position right now.”

“Damn Zuzu, it’s like that?”

“Hey,” he shrugged, “it is what it is. Now are you gonna eat that strawberry tartlet?

You and Deku spent the remainder of your date feeding each other the little tarts, laughing, and joking.

By the time you guys left the cafe and made it back to your apartment hand in hand, it was nightfall.

“I’m glad we went out tonight, Zuzu, this was hella fun.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, y/n.” Izuku smiled down at you.

“I almost forgot how much fun you are—ya know, since you turned into a stranger and all.” You gave him a playful nudge.

“Well, You let this stranger take you on a date and walk you home. So, I’m guessing you like him, huh?” He nudged you, playfully.

“Well...he kinda cute or whateva, so I guess I’ll keep him around for now.”

“Good.” Deku replied.

As The two of you stopped in front of your front door, he pulled you into him, arms around your waist.

“I’m gonna work on making that ‘forever.’”

Before you could think up a reply, his lips landed on yours; soft and sweet and warm.

Your eyes fluttered close at the gentleness of his touch. You melted into the kiss, returning it hungrily. Just as you began to lose yourself in the moment, Deku pulled back.

He gazed down at you for a beat before finally kissing your nose.

“Night baby.”

Baby?????

“G-goodnight, Izuku.” You whispered.

With that, he left.
