PRERELATIONSHIP -Liona General – Cullida Love – McJunk Domestic Life - Fuujiro

S— SHIP QUESTIONS @silverblighted

PRE-RELATIONSHIP — Liona .

How did they first meet? Siona was locked in a crumbling temple under the deserts sands and best girl Nova found her! And then Link and Gan cornered them like 10 minutes after they escaped.

What was their first impression of each other? For like 5 min Link thought she was actually tricking them that she wasn’t an evil mage, and then she passed out, and he was like “ok maybe not.” Siona’s first impression was like 2 hours later when she woke back up and she thought he was really nice!

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together? Link’s fam really did not! But Siona’s only family is Nova and she did. 

Who felt romantic feelings first? Uhhhh... I think technically Siona did, but only because she thought meeting a prince like that is really romantic and was probably just projecting that ideal on him a little bit. But either way they’re both idiots smitten within 24 hours so ¯\_(���)_/¯

Did either of them try to resist their feelings? Siona does, a few times. She does because she has to go home, she does because she thinks she has to return to the Twilight Realm alone, and she does because she doesn’t think the way her story is playing out that she’ll be allowed to stay with Link. I think Link probably did for like one week and then decided it’s not worth it to try resisting people you care deeply about. 

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think? asdfghjhgfd this one’s so hard UHHHHHH i think Link would think that’s pretty fuckin swell and makes sense if it goes hand in hand with finding a lost princess in the desert, and i think Siona would say that’s not a thing but she’d be super jazzed bc she’s an idiot romantic too. 

GENERAL — Cullida .

Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go? It’d ultimately be left up to Cullen, I think. I think Cressida wouldn’t have been afraid to tell him she was waiting on him to tell her when he was ready, but I don’t think she would have ever pushed it after that. So it was probably Cullen, and it was probably right after her dumb ass almost died after Haven. Went great, though, even if she was groggy and turned around. Cressida would have probably told him it was about time LOL

Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like? As official as you can get when you’re in the Inquisition, I guess. I don’t even know if they count things as dates? Just nice outings with each other away from their jobs and duties. More than likely it was a nice trip to a lake to sit and chat and have a picnic and not worry about busy places and other people. 

What was their first kiss like? Their technical first kiss is in the alternate reality nightmare with Dorian, and Cressida tried kissing a red lyrium-corrupted Cullen to get through to him. For her, that was a first, but it was awful, and not even in their reality, so it doesnt really count. Their actual first kiss was in Haven right before she ran off to help Vesta, bc I think they were both pretty sure they were just doing to die there LOL. 

Were they each other’s first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)? Cressida is Cullen’s first-pretty-much-everything. I guess technically Cullen is Cressida’s first (and only) husband, which she’s pretty glad about. 

What’s their height difference? Age difference? Cullen’s about a foot taller than Cressida, and nine years her senior. 

What’s their relationship with each other’s families? Cressida’s family is... almost totally horrible. Her dad is dead, so no relation for Cullen there, and her mother is a monster of a woman who abused the hell out of her sister. Vesta is awkward with Cullen but I think she’s grown to like him over time. (Not enough to tell him, but enough to be supportive I think LOL). They’re cordial enough and can be in a room alone, even if they don’t talk a lot.  Cullen’s family is so many sisters and a brother, and they all love Cressida. Cressida was panicked to meet them; she doesn’t panic meeting anyone, but she was really worried they wouldn’t like her bc she doesn’t think she, as a genuine person, is a likable person. She was also worried they’d think she was too pompous and shallow because she just doesn’t do field work. But they really like her bc she’s earnest and forthright and tries, even if she’s awful at menial field tasks. And they joke she’s too pretty for Cullen, so that’s always a plus. 

Who takes the lead in social situations? Cressida. Hands down. It’s what she’s good at, it’s what she lives for, and it probably annoys some people that she has to open her mouth, but she commands a situation very well and in her mind, that’s how it should be. Cullen’s p fine w that though bc he doesn’t love social situations and he’d rather do his own job and be left alone.

Who gets jealous easier? Uhhh, probably Cullen. Cress doesn’t make that easy for him bc she’s flirty and commanding and winds people around her fingers to get her way. I think there’s been a few times early on where he wasn’t even sure she genuinely liked him or not bc she can pay fake attention and admiration so convincingly even to people she doesn’t like. Cressida’s also... like, so obnoxiously confident in her own outward personality but also so incredibly convinced by how much Cullen loves her (once she knows) that I don’t think she ever worries about him vying after someone else. (Although, she did get pretty upset and tilted with the Warden Surana hanging around since she knows about that LMAO.) 

LOVE — McJunk .

Who said “I love you” first? Jesse. He said it a few times. Jun-ki’s kinda mean, though; I’m pretty sure she told him no he doesn’t a few times? Idk, he’s too nice for this bitch.

What are their primary love languages? Jesse’s is pet names and touch both. He’s not really shy so he can express it in a lot of ways. Jun’s is small gestures, like sitting with someone while they’re struggling. I guess her other one is also literally fighting people for him even tho he definitely probably did not ask LOL. 

How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA? All the time. All the fucking time. Their coworkers hate them. Think April and Andy, and then multiply. (And Jun literally would spit her gum in this man’s mouth just to annoy other people.) 

What are their favorite things to do together? They do... so much together uhhhh sdfghj idk, I know Jun likes doing most things with Jesse around now. Movie nights, pizza dates, annoying PDA, drinking games, weird places to fuck... they’re a little inseparable. I think the only thing Jun doesn’t like to do with Jesse around is upgrade sessions with Angela because she doesn’t want to be seen all broken up, and training segments because she doesn’t want to be responsible for him getting hurt. 

Who’s better at comforting the other? Jesse. Jun’s never been good at it. He says what he thinks she needs to hear without impressing on her a bunch of psychology she never said she had. He’s just good at offering her something to relate to and a shoulder to lean on. Jun’s not very good with words, though, so she’s not very good at or sure how to offer comfort when someone needs it, especially Jesse. But she just says she’ll hang around and if they fight about it she just says to shut up and deal with it. He’s usually better once he vents.

Who’s more protective? BIG DEBATABLE. I think it’s pretty... even. I think either of them will fight as hard as they can for the other, though I think Jun may be the only one more likely to throw herself into actual harm’s way, and that’s just because she’s definitely the more reckless of the two. 

Do they prefer verbal or physical affection? Jesse’s a more verbal person but I think physical affection and affirmation is where they’ve connected. No one has to say anything, he just does, but it’s just the cherry to the rest of it and physical communication and affection is more than enough for both of them. 

What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise? THERE”S A WHOLE BUNCH ON THE SPOTIFY LET ME TELL UUUUU BUT THE BEST ARE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD “Something About Us” by Daft Punk “Amphetamine” by MNQN and also I could add matchbox 20 but i’m not tryna get roasted

What kind of nicknames do they call each other? Yikes. Uhhhhh, Jesse’s partial to: darlin’, sweetie, sweet pea, sweet bean, juniper berry, junnie b jones, jun-bug, and the list goes onnn.  Jun’s partial to cowboy and (affectionately) dumbass. 

DOMESTIC LIFE — Fuujiro .

If they get married, who proposes? Probably Shinjiro, and it was probably something stupid and weird at the grocery store. 

What’s the wedding like? Who attends? Small, probably at a park or something, but all of their friends. They don’t have a lot, but that’s what makes it nice. I think they’d be more interested in spending money on travelling afterwards than trying to make a big deal out of a celebration.

How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like? I don’t think they have any kids. I don’t think Fuu has any interest in bringing a kid into the world bc of the shit she’s gone through on her end; there’s no innate part of her that thinks she needs to have a kid to raise them better just to make up for how alone and neglected she was as a child. If they wound up with any kids, it’d probably be some circumstantial adoption of a wayward orphan they kept coming, honestly? A mentorship or personal attachment just kind of developing, really. Like Denzel LMAO. That’s the only thing I could see happening really asdfgh.

Do they have any pets? THEY HAVE KOROMARU. Otherwise, I think they just put food and shelter boxes out for their neighbourhood cats. Shinjiro probably lets them in a lot. 

Who’s the stricter parent? Shinjiro, hands down. He was the stricter parent when he was a teenager. Fuu is/ would be the parent who is also being scolded.

Who kills the bugs in the house? Shinjiro kills them and Fuu takes them outside. Shinjiro just doesn’t think bugs belong in the house, and Fuu thinks killing them is bad luck. If he kills them before she gets to take them outside, they probably “fight” about it, but it’s not a divisive convo that’ll sour the day.  

How do they celebrate holidays? Shinjiro’s not really a holiday person and Fuu’s really busy, but I know she thinks they’re worth doing. So everything’s probably pretty quiet and half-decourated for. Holidays with events to go to that they don’t have to prepare for, like festivals, Fuu definitely nags to attend. Things like Christmas, I think they just plan on nice dinners and quiet evenings. 

Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning? Ooh, uhhhhh asdfg that’s hard. Probably Shinjiro? I don’t think he tries often, but he is the one more likely to sleep late. I guess it’d be circumstantial, in a lot of ways. Like if he wasn’t sleeping a lot lately, Fuu would sleep late to try and keep him around. If Fuu’s overworking, Shinjiro would try to bait her back. But otherwise, it’s probably Shinjiro, since she’s usually up early because she wants to run early.

Who’s the better cook? Shinjiro, hands down. Fuu’s okay at it; if she has to make dinner, she’s happy to do it and it’d be fine food, it just wouldn’t be anything exciting or special. She understands basic seasoning laws and how to use a rice cooker. Shinjiro’s the one who’s anal-retentive about produce quality, technique, prepwork, etc. He’s the one who literally watches home cooking network and considers buying a separate pasta cooker, after all. It’s one of the few things he’s really passionate about, and he’s always emphasized how important a good meal and diet are to health with the idiots he hangs around. 

[turtlewritesthings]

This is a headcanon and a title in one: His Italian Roots.

This is an absolutely correct headcanon. How did you know I LOVE that? Italian Maria raising Tony to know his heritage is LIFE.

Anyway.

For this one, I’m actually just gonna give you a plot I came up with a while back that I’m not sure I’ll ever get around to writing.

TW for mentions of domestic abuse and child abuse bc Howard Stark.

Tony comes home from college, not even 18 yet, and already used by Sunset Bain and he takes his father's shouting with a stoic face and then once Howard leaves just breaks down in front of his mom like "I don't understand why she didn't love me? I did everything she wanted?"And Maria is just struck by the parallels of this being what she's been teaching tony unconsciously.

So she divorces Howard in the scandal of the decade. She takes half his money and she takes Tony with her. 

They get a little house (maybe that cabin on the lake?) and she starts taking a more active role in Tony's life. 

And he still has a whole ordeal with Tiberius, but he gets out sooner bc Maria and Rhodey both are like "oh honey no." He gets out of the party scene earlier and Maria drags him by the ear away from alcohol. 

Tony flinches at touch a lot after Sunset. Maria is absolutely fury incarnate thinking Sunset forced her baby boy into sex before he was ready. Ty just makes it worse.

Maria encourages him to branch out into all the things that interest him and get away from weapons, which Howard is pissed about, but Tony gets REALLY into her charity work and non-profits and "hey mom do you think I could start a business to help people?" 

And maria encourages him and he gets so into it and it's just BOOMING and she worries about how lonely he seems sometimes. 

And then tony starts diving into medtech bc surely he can help there too, right? He meets young up and coming neurosurgeon Stephen Strange and is absolutely smitten.

At first, Maria thinks it's just a fascination with Strange's work - Tony has a tendency to ramble and rave about people he finds interesting and intelligent - except Tony doesn't really stop talking about Strange. And the comments start shifting from how brilliant Stephen is to "oh man, Stephen told this joke -" and "Mom, can I borrow your lasagna recipe? Stephen thinks cottage cheese is an acceptable replacement for ricotta and he needs to know he's wrong."

Maria, remembering Sunset and Tiberius, asks around about Stephen. The response she gets terrifies her. Cold, exacting, unfriendly, snappy, ambitious - she is instantly reminded of Howard.

So Maria has Tony invite Stephen to dinner. 

Tony is a nervous mess about it bc he's been wanting to ask Stephen out and he feels like maybe this is out of the proper order of things. But he's not about to deny his mom, so he's all "yes...my friend. Yeah."

Stephen comes over, dressed to impress bc he's been wanting to ask Tony out and obv that means he needs to impress Maria. So he's formal and polite and a little cold, which really isn't how he normally is with Tony. He doesn't realize that a good first impression to the rest of elite society is a disastrous first impression with Maria. So once dinner is done, Maria arranges a long vacation for her and Tony "bc she misses spending time with him." 

While they're away, she introduces Tony to lots of nice men and women, trying to draw his affection away from Stephen. But Tony calls and texts Stephen a lot. They argue a lot via phone and Maria just can't see through her own past experience that it's friendly arguing.

She introduces Tony to a literal prince and Tony’s just like “But does he have a PhD?”

“I don’t know? He might have a pretty huge dick, how should I know?”

“MOM!”

She’s just trying to keep up with her kid, okay? Gotta learn that slang.

The vacation has another part to it. And that's that Maria hasn't been feeling herself lately really. So finally, she talks to Tony about Stephen. And she mentions how much he reminds her of Howard. And Tony is instantly offended - insisting that Stephen is nothing like Howard and they have a big fight about it bc neither of them are really listening to the other.

And when they get back home, Tony dives into work and Maria goes back to her charities and her empty house. And then Maria collapses and a maid takes her to the hospital and tony rushes there as they find out she's got a brain tumor. So of course, Tony goes to the best neurosurgeon. And Stephen, of course, is totally clueless that he's been what Tony and Maria have been fighting about. But he really likes Tony. Maybe even loves Tony. So he takes the surgery and the surgery goes well. And Maria wakes up to Stephen slouched awkwardly in a hospital chair, Tony sitting even more awkwardly on his lap and snoozing on his shoulder.

Maria watches until Stephen snorts awake, wincing at the crick in his neck from falling asleep the way he had. He'd come right to stay with Tony and Maria after cleaning up post-surgery.They kind of stare at each other a bit. 

"You're going to be fine now," Stephen murmurs, hand coming up to cradle the back of Tony's head. 

"What happened?" she asks weakly. 

"You had a small tumor in your brain. It had begun to press on a blood vessel and you passed out. I removed it. You're going to be just fine."

(please bear in mind I am not a doctor AT ALL)

Maria grunts and looks at Tony. The way he clings to Stephen in his sleep, fingers dug into scrubs. "He loves you, you know?" 

Stephen buries his blushing face in Tony’s hair and Maria can’t help but coo at him just a little when she sees his ears turning red.

And she's just like "Oh. So now I have TWO shy boys. Okay. I can do that."

Maria finds out later on that Stephen doesn't go home anymore bc he's on bad terms with his parents: "It's okay. I'm your mom now."

Meanwhile, these two idiots haven’t actually asked each other out yet.

She's finally released from the hospital and they just pester her relentlessly about her health and she loves it. Her house isn’t empty anymore.

Maria teases them about when they're going to go on a date. They both just sputter and fidget.

“Mamannnnn!""Uh... did you want--" "I mean, if you wanted to we... could?" "We don't have to, of course, I just..." "No it's... it's a nice thought uh..." 

Maria finally just rolls her eyes and sends them to one of the Maria Stark Foundation galas together. She gives the tickets to Stephen, "Just... ask him out already, please. I swear, I'm going to die of old age before you two get it together." 

Fin.

[kewltie]

or how pro hero ground zero finds himself accidentally dating the most notorious supervillain, AFO’s precious son. 

in the midst of a battle w/ members of LoV, pro-hero ground zero save a rookie journalist who LITERALLY threw himself middle of all the chaos to grab photos & after yelling at the ignorant fuck, katsuki doesn't think he'll see him again. but then HE SEES HIM EVERYWHERE

his name is midoriya izuku & he has some sort of death wish really bc katsuki keep finding him in the middle of all these hero vs villains battles and ONE TIME he tackled down a villain right???? and he doesnt even have a fucking quirk & yet he is seemingly unfraid of everything

needless to say, katsuki is v smitten bc the lil awkward death defying shit. also, anyone who accidentally send katsuki to the hospital several times bc he keep getting into trouble and katsuki have to come rescue him and THEN YELLING AT KATSUKI FOR INTERFEARING W/ HIS JOB

katsuki get so fucking rile up at this quirkless man, who shown no fear and easily go toe to toe w/ him and yet is so incrdiably humble and hilariously akward, he is just into this badass idiot who is entirely devoted to his job and cursed w/ severe stubborn???? feels relatable.

so yea, katsuki ofc taps that ass right the fuck away bc he knows a good one when izuku is indirectly responsible for three broken ribs after katsuki had pulled him out of ANOTHER TROUBLING SITUATION. he's a trouble magnet and shit-stirrer and katsuki's heart is moved.

so the start dating and it goes SO WELL. izuku still get in major shitstorm for his job and katsuki still drags him out of it w/ a few bruise here and there, but afterward they go grab a bite and crash at each other place. super romantic nd sweet and it's so v good. but!!!

there's something weird about izuku. he doesn't talk much about his family, to katsuki anyway. BUT HE'S SUPER CLOSE TO THEM. his parents seem to call him daily and he go visit them often, but he never bring his parents up to katsuki esp his dad & izuku kinda got a stalker??

it's not like katsuki didn't notice right away, but HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS STALKER. one of his super creepy fans probably but nope this person only tails izuku and when katsuki tell him about it, izuku is like, 'oh that's just toga'. apparently, izuku knows his talker v v well.

the stalker apparently is sent by izuku's father to watch out & protect izuku and katsuki pauses bc who the fuck does a journalist who lives on takeouts and shitty cable TVs need a bodyguard?!!! so yea katsuki's new bf background is fucking weird and mysterious.

katsuki has his agency dig into izuku's background (not that they hadn't vet izuku's before for katsuki's safety) but they comb through the archives and izuku's history and it's comes out v v v v clean, sparkling even. honestly, katsuki doesn't know WTF IS UP W/ HIS NEW BF.

so he confront izuku about his weirdo stalker/bodyguard, his avoidance about his family & his dad in particular, and his eerie squeaky AND CLEARLY SCRIPTED papertrails. izuku get shifty eyes and is like, "you won't believe me." And katsuki says tersely, "fucking try me."

Izuku drops his gaze to the floor and says, finally, "my dad is the leader of the league of villains." and YEA, KATSUKI'S BRAIN SHUT DOWN FOR SEC bc his deku?? stupid suicidal stubborn bleeding heart deku??? FUCK NO. but izuku just nods his head and grimaces.

the LoV is the largest criminal org in the world w/ long list of crimes & longer list of criminals that make its their home. their roster are made up of terrifying people w/ dangerous quirks... and IZUKU, quirkless and softhearted izuku is the leader's most precious son.

the idea itself is COMPLETELY ABSURD! HOW does that ever make sense? izuku is a civilian who works normal if a bit dangerous job & doesn't seem to have any *evil* inclinations at all yet he hail from the worst kind of genetic source possible. maybe he's just faking it all along.

which made katsuki absolutely furious that izuku might been some kind of sleeper agent from the LoV sent to trick spy & kill him or something and izuku's eyes wide, immediately protests, "no, no, i swear! i dont have anything to do w/ my fathers... org."

but katsuki has a hard time accepting it esp with the truth bomb thrown at his feet now that he realizes HE'S DATING THE ONLY SON OF EVIL OF THE MOST VILE CRIMINAL IN THE WORLD. so yea, he walks out on izuku, saying he need some space & izuku was looking so heartbroken as he left

for the next few days, katsuki stews in his thought. he doesn't tell anyone about what he had found out, but he doesn't contact izuku either. until, one day just as he in the middle of patrol there's some comotion that attract his teams and katsuki is seperated from them.

he's cornered by several LoV members, outnumbered five to one and katsuki lost his comms in the ensuring scuffles but instead of kicking his ass bc well they're foes, one of them break ranks toga (the blood queen) approach him w/ a bloodthirsty grin & a knife pointing toward him.

"hey, pretty boy," she coos w/ a flicker of edge, "stop ignoring our young master! you made him cried & he won't come out of his room. I hate seeing him so upset bc Izuku-chan should always be smiling! if you dont fix this ill rip your hide from your bones and wear it as a cape."

the group behind her make various grunt of agreement, all promising him death and disembowelment for... apparently breaking izuku's heart. katsuki is so outrage that he nearly explodes on the spot bc these dumbass villains think they CAN BLACKMAL/THREATEN HIM?! HIM, GROUND ZERO?!

also, even more furious by the fact that they insuate that HE BROKE UP WITH IZUKU?! wtf, he never said that!! needing space meant just a temporary break s he gets his bearing on wut to do next... but not like a perma break, but izuku's ppl thought their relationship ended.

katsuki is even more offended by that notion bc izuku is even a bigger idiot than he thought. HOW could someone that much of crybaby over just temp break is some manipulative coldhearted spy?? right now his instinct says, izuku is telling the truth. he isn't tricking katsuki.

bc it all make sense now. izuku who stands fearless against villains bc he'd grown up around them all his life and was raised BY THE MOST NOTORIOUS ONE. anytime there's a LoV related incident, izuku always seem to come out of it unscathed like THERE'S A ZONE OF PROTECTION ON HIM.

izuku is seemingly sweet, humble, & awkward but he got that rebellious streak a mile wide. loud in his opinions & shit-stirrer by choice, he faces down villains & heroes alike like they're on equal ground even though izuku is defenseless. he respect the law only when it applies.

katsuki has never seen such a fucking firecracker like izuku who loves people & the world but have little respect for any gov entity or laws and think they're good only when they're helping ppl but otherwise they're abritary (lmao). he such chaotic force for good it's hilarious.

so yea, he believes that izuku is the SON OF AFO now bc that lil shit is a menace. A GOOD MENACE, but still a goddamn menace. he seems to stay firmly on the side of 'good' as it is which make his relationship with his villain father a fucking mystery & headache for katsuki.

so katsuki, gritting his teeth, clichely demands the LoV group to take him to their leader so he can verbally kick his bf's ass for keeping his fucked up secrets and stupidly mistaken that they're broken up. the group happily ties up him and blindfolds him bc well SECRET LAIR.

katsuki is crazy, ok. like, STUPIDLY CRAZY to go blindly and no backups w/ some of the worst villains in history so he can meet up w/ his stupid bf and his crazy father. he could end up dead tmr or some shit bc it all could have been a trick to lure him in w/ his guard down

but if izuku can be an idiot for dating a hero when he's a son of a villain than KATSUKI CAN BE A BIGGER IDIOT FOR GOING TO MEET HIS BF'S VILLANIOUS FATHER AT HIS SECRET TORTURE FORTRESS OR SOME SHIT. love can make ppl dumb and they're both a perfect example of it.

so katsuki get blindfolded and escorted to the LoV hq and it's a suprisingly sweet ride to there. no bumps, no abuse, no torture shit going on. he get offer food and drink and it's FUCKING WEIRD. his kidnappers start some casual convo w/ him about izuku and his job of all things.

they even joke about how katsuki arrested one of them one time and almost kill another THE OTHER TIME & it's all happy bs??? it's even worst than torture. katsuki just want this to end already!! eventually they arrive and katsuki is let out. he get inside & his blindfold is off.

it's... nothing like he expected. it's traditional japanese house w/ sprawling garden, koi ponds, & beautiful woods. it's pristine, homey, and terribly normal. "ha, you thought we were going to take you to some kind of evil lair, right?" twice says, grinning bc he's an ass.

"that's next time! we save that for official bsn." he jabs Katsuki's in the shoulder playfully. "you're meeting sensei and mistress so of course it got to be at their house and not the 'office'." katsuki's hands start twitching like he's going to explode someone or something.

but he's quickly drag away before he could do anything about it. lead through some hallways before depositing inside a tearoom where there's a SHIT TON of pics of baby!izuku & his childhood accolades on the wall. this look less like a room to greet visitors but to show off izuku.

just as katsuki goes to examine a cute pic of bb!izuku playing in a field of flowers & holding one up towrad the camera, the doors slide open and a couple walk in. one of them is an older woman who looks eerily like izuku and the young woman also ft. in many of the wall pics.

she smiles warmly at and goes to greet him right away. "hi, bakugou-kun! welcome to our home, i'm inko, Izuku's mother," she introduces herself. while she's a source of happy energy and warmth, the other man beside her is another story. he gives katsuki's an icy stare.

katsuki already knows who he is before he even say anything. AFO looks younger in comparison to his reported age, notably handsome, and he carries himself like some warlord from the warring periods.

"I should kill you," is the first thing he says. "my son should only cry in joy, over his terrible taste in romantic media consumption, & dumber things." spoken like a man who dealt with midoriya walking crying machine izuku his entire life and also a hopelessly devoted father.

"hisashi!" inko scolds. which is strange to katsuki bc he didn't even think AFO even have a name but in front of him isn't some evil man who mastermind gov't take over & ruin so many ppl lives but astupid father overprotected of his son. "but i won't," AFO admits regretfully.

"Izuku would be even more sad and if you're dead your death will haunt him needlessly more. he won't be able to forget you and move on." he frowns, like he actually had CONSIDER THAT ROUTE DEEPLY before casting that idea aside. WTF, katsuki thought and says exactly that, "wtf."

"there's something seriously wrong with you," he points out what he think is v obvious. AFO shrugs. "I love my son. He's my-" Inko's frown and he clears his throat, "our most precious treasure & we do everything to ensure his happiness. do you understand us, bakugou katsuki?"

"inko and i have raise with love and care for 20yrs and i won't have some rough neck capers try to destroy his smile. i dont care who you are or wut you can do bc i can put you ten feet under w/ a snap of my fingers & nobody will be able to save you but like i said i won't."

Katsuki grind his teeth, fists clenched at his side, before lowering his head. this isnt time to fight, they're not on the field & on the job. this isnt about their respective stance on moral superiority but izuku. izuku is why they're both here. "i came here for him."

"i want to fix it," he says. "just let me see him." he pauses & grimaces like the tatse of whatever he say next disgust him. "please." AFO frowns, staring at katsuki for a beat, two. like he can pull apart katsuki's motives and tears into his rib to see w/e make him tick.

"fine," he waves katsuki away, "you may see him now but if he cry anything beside in happiness i'll have your head and your entire agency." it's not a threat. it's a warning lace with truth that katsuki has no doubt he will carry out if a single tear slip pass izuku and fall.

inko claps her hand happily. "great, i'm glad you guys are geting along so well!" she says, like threats of murder haven't been thrown at his feet. clearly, she's used to the fact that her husband is a completely psychopath and whipped for their son. this fucking crazy family.

katsuki grunts, not knowing what else to say beside, 'have you eve thought of fucking divorce bc yea maybe you will be less crazy by then' but he holds his tongue bc they're still izuku's parents and he already made a bad impression on them even though technically not his FAULT.

AFO doesn't promise anymore murder in his future but the dark look on his face is enough as inko's lead him out & toward izuku's room. she drops him right outside it and gives him an encouraging smile before heading off, but katsuki has no doubt the parents are lurking around.

katsuki sucks in a deep breath before raising his fist and knocks. he hears unhurried footsteps on the other side and slowly the door is slide open. "Papa, I already said--" izuku whines, and stops as soon as he sees who ACTUALLY on the other side. "K-Katsuki?! What are you--?"

Katsuki blinks, trying to get his fucking brain to graple with the thought of AFO as 'papa' and his head nearly explode. he drags a hand down his face and once again thinks, THIS FUCKIN' FAMILY. "Look, you idiot," he starts in lieu of any answer. "We didn't fucking break up."

Izuku looks haggard, buffy red eyes and the dark circle under it, speaking of how upset he was. he clearly didn't get any good rest these several days they were apart. he lifts an accusatory brow at Katsuki. "you didn't pick up my calls or answer any of my text," he retorts.

Katsuki rolls his eyes. "what part of I needed space, time to think didn't you get?" he snaps back. "It didn't mean go cry and sulk your parent's home like a damn coward because you were too dumb to think of anything beside we may have broken up!"

"But--but," Izuku's lips wobble and katsuki nearly jump out of his skin bc jfc don't cry here or i'll be skinned alive, "i was scared that you really mean it! that's why i didn't want to tell you in the first place bc then you wouldn't want to have anythig to do w/ me."

Katsuki sighs, a bone deep tired sigh. "Now, why would you think i would have any problem with dating the son of my nemesis?" he says dryly. Izuku's brows furrow. "All Might is Papa's nemesis," he unhelpfully point out. "I don't think Papa even knew you existed until we dated."

Katsuki scowls. "that's not the fucking point," he shouts, temper rising w/ every word. "Your dad is the fucking boogieman who wants to sow discord in the world & it's my job to catch him &lock away for good. Do you see my moral crisis over this when im dating his beloved son?!"

"I-" Izuku's face fall, "dont you think I dont know that? I've lived with him for over 20yrs, I know exactly what he's capable of." he looks away. "But, he's my Papa & im terrible for still choosing him over the world. So," izuku says solmenly. "i dont expect the same from you."

Katsuki grits his teeth and steps right into izuku's space, up in his face. "Look, im only going to say this once so listen the fuck up," he starts. "I like you. A lot. Stupidly. Gods know why when you drive me up the fucking wall all the time, but here I am standig before you."

"A lot, huh?" Lips twitching, Izuku's eyes going soft. Katsuki scowls. "Dont make me repeat myself, but yes fucking a lot that your fucking groupies & your old man threatened to kill me several times over did not deter me from coming here," he says, hand cradling Izuku's cheek.

"It's because I'm dating you and not your father. Whatever crimes he'd commited is not on you, you don't have to carry his sins," he tells Izuku, leaning in to press a kiss too fast and fleeting on izuku's forehead. "just stay true to yourself and i'll fucking deal with it."

Izuku's close his eyes and lets out a shaky exhales, the air of relief that passes through him is shuddering. "Ok, ok," he murmurs, opening his eyes to look at katsuki. there's a twinkle in them as he smiles, soft and sweet, the kind you can stupidly drunk on & never let go.

In that hazy moment, katsuki thinks, AFO doesn't need to plan any premediated murder in case things go v wrong bc this is how he'll die w/ izuku's smile right in his front his eyes, cutting him down one curve lips at a time. Fuck, he's just as whipped for izuku as AFO.

it's good that izuku not a fucking psychopath like his father bc this would have gone v v v wrong. izuku would make a terrifying villain. Worst than his own father bc it's not fear & imtimidation that will get ppl to follow him but izuku's own magnetic personality that move them.

"don't ever become a villain, ok?" katsuki insists suddenly, grabbing his shoulder tightly. "where did that come from?" izuku laughs, eyes crinkling. "And dont worry, papa had tried. many, many times but i haven't turn over to the darkside if that's what you worry about."

"Good," katsuki says firmly, and thinks the world better for it. one less crazy midoriya to raise hell. izuku is trouble enough as it is when katsuki thought he was just a quirkless journalist w/ a death wish but now there's a chance he could go rouge any moment and--yea. no.

"Sooo," izuku says, boucing on his heels. "are we back together now?" katsuki flicks him on the forehead. "we never broke up in the first place, you dolt." izuku grins and suddenly throws his arm around katsuki. "ah, i miss you so much kacchan!!!" he declares excitedly.

and after they made up, katsuki interrogate izuku about wtf is wrong w/ his father bc how did AFO of all ppl get a villain son who isn't all about /that/ kind of bsn he's in. turns out izuku always have a healthy regard for heroes so he never thought of joining his father's org.

though AFO would have been super happy to take izuku in bc izuku is terrifyingly clever & resourceful but he lets izuku go & do his thing anyway. they just mutually agree not to talk shop when it's family, keeping their jobs outside &not in the home to keep both of their sanity.

so izuku knows shit about the 'family bsn' except wut everyone knows bc he's not involve with any of that and in his everyday job as a journalist izuku often times clash w/ his father AND expose some of his schemes bc it's part of his job & he doesn't shy away from it.

AFO wasn't upset at all having his plans ruin by his own son. nope. he was SUPER PROUD OF IZUKU!!! to able to accomplish such thing on his own even if it's against him lol. but izuku is still his father's so so he doesn't take on just AFO, other villains, & dark org.

he takes on the gov't, hero association, and even other heroes themselves if he ever catches on if they didn't live up to his ideals of being 'proper hero' like all might. he fiercely chases and exposes anything that he deems corrupted and wrong not caring which side they're on.

which makes izuku kind of chaotic good. he acts on his own whims & sense of justice, disregarding all rules & barriers. which is why he admires katsuki so much bc katsuki stands by his rule staunchantly & won't ever move from it, izuku knows katsuki wont ever be sway by the dark.

kinda like izuku's father who stands firmly by his belief & does everything to reach his goals. WHICH IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT KATSUKI WANT TO BE COMPARE TO ESP BY A NOTORIOUS VILLAIN LIKE AFO lol. but yea, now that he got izuku's motive and why he's the way he is, it get easier.

they continue dating, izuku continues getting into trouble 120% of the time, katsuki keeps bailing him out, and sometimes IZUKU BAILS HIM OUT bc izuku may be quirkless but he got an army of the world's most terrible villains on his side so yea izuku IS TERRIFYING.

and, they aren't just dating but they're 100000% serious w/ each other bc now katsuki go to izuku's parents house for dinner every sunday and have to put up with AFO and play nice w/ each other for izuku's sake bc they come ton an understanding they will be IN-LAWS one day lol!

their dinner convo is mostly the two of them taking jab at each other bc katsuki trash of AFO's plans or AFO's sends katsuki's ppl to the hospital and got away with it. they never stop being enemy even for izuku bc of where they stand on but mutually agree not to kill each other.

they're both fiercely devoted individual who are obsessively workaholic, stubborn, vainglorious, and loves just as much as they breathe for their ppl and though they never agree on anything, this they will agree on bc izuku's happiness is everything to them!!!

Slytherin Sherlock x Ravenclaw Reader

-It’s not that he doesn’t notice you

-It’s that he doesn’t give a shit about you

-Or anyone really

-So he doesn’t feel bad when he gloats in your face about how he’s smarter and better

-I mean

-Obviously he notices you

-You’re like one of his only friends apart from your fellow Housemate Molly Hooper and that Gryffindor John Watson

-So why on earth doesn’t he treat you better????

-Like

-Even his brother is politer

-but you know he’s just plotting against everyone in this godforsaken school

-But Sherlock is always thinking and thinking and thinking and you’re sitting next to him doing your homework but he’s not because he thinks it’s mundane

-’You’re held back by your need to be accepted by your peers Y/N’

-’Yeah well I’d hate to be anything like you’

-Eventually during fourth year you just like give up

-You’re just done

-And Sherlock pretends to not care when you walk away

-But then he starts realizing

-His essays aren’t getting finished

-Like

-He’d always assumed he did them and just didn’t care enough to remember

-But then he gets one back and it’s your handwriting

-How did he not realize????

-And then he realizes you act different around other people, your fellow Ravenclaws

-You don’t strive to prove yourself to them

-You stay in the upper-middle and it irks Sherlock to no end

-Compared to those people you’re practically a genius

-Even though all you do is memorize the textbooks and use logic but still

-And it’s like two days before the Yule Ball and Mycroft’s been on Sherlock’s back for a long time about getting a date

-But he only has two options: Irene Adler, his fellow Housemate, or you

-He doesn’t like Irene all that much

-And he knows the only reason she doesn’t have a date yet is because all the other boys that have a date are going to sneak away for some alone time with her and he most definitely does not want to be a part of that

-So that leaves you

-He just sits down at your regular table in the library

-Just stares at you and then blurts out ‘Doyouwannagoballwime?’

-You don’t even look up before replying ‘No’ and flipping a page in your textbook

-’Why not you’re the only bearable person in this school including Mycroft bc i hate Mycroft’

-You slam the textbook shut and leave, calling over your shoulder ‘I already have a date and even if I didn’t I wouldn’t go with you’

-Refusing to be deterred, Sherlock chases after you forgetting about his bookbag

-’Why not, who is it’

-’Greg Lestrade from Hufflepuff’

-’Oh forget him, he’s an idiot! You’re too smart for them!’

-’He might be an idiot but he’s a nice idiot and you’re a smart arsehole and I hate you’

-’Why’

-’When you learn that other people have emotions--don’t pretend you don’t, Sherlock, we all know you do--I’ll talk to you again. it’s fools that kick people who’re nice to you in the mouth and Sherlock you may be smart but you’re a right fool’

-Sherlock stops bugging you and takes Irene to the ball

-As expected, her ‘feet are aching, want to give them a massage’

-’No’

-During fifth year McGonagall decides to have ‘inter-House study buddies’ for the O.W.L.s

-Just Sherlock’s luck, he’s stuck with the one person that dares call him foolish

-Your grimace shows him you’re not happy with these arrangements either

-As Sherlock studies with you he realizes just how lacking he is in the written area

-So you sigh and take him to the Room of Requirement and it has a bunch of example O.W.L. tests and you help him with those

-Because ‘you may be smart but if you don’t pass your tests you won’t be able to make a living’

-’I have Mycroft for that’

-’Shut up and take your test’

-After he’s memorized practically every O.W.L. scenario you two start practicing your practical work

-He can’t produce a Patronus while yours is a cat

-It reminds you of Sherlock himself and Jim Moriarty, one of your Housemates because it prances around with its nose in the air

-You’re getting increasingly frustrated with him like

-’If you mess something up on your practical you can produce a Patronus for extra credit, I looked it up’

-’Of course you did’

-It turns out Sherlock is far superior to you in Potions when one of your assignments comes back and he has an O and you have a T

-Your eyes are tearing up and you shove it in your bag in hopes Sherlock won’t see it

-He does

-And during your next lesson he starts to lecture you on how you should really pay more attention during lessons and such

-And it would be super condescending bc you do pay attention and he doesn’t except it’s the exact same lecture you gave him once and so you’re kinda like touched that he remembered it and even memorized it????

-So now each lesson is split up between your Potions lessons and Sherlock’s Patronus lessons

-You’re slowly getting the hang of Potions

-(’Just think of the concepts I’ve told you and when the textbook goes against them, listen to your brain instead of the inanimate object; the writer was terribly dull anyways’)

-But Sherlock tries and tries and just cannot produce a Patronus

-So you’re starting to get desperate when O.W.L. season comes around

-Why??? Well you sure don’t care about his scores that’s for sure

-But then you start brainstorming with Molly and John like

-’What the hell does Sherlock like?’

-’Uhhhhh candy and his violin’

-They don’t mention you

-You get him Honeydukes candy

-That doesn’t cut it

-You get him sheet music

-He manages to produce a silver wisp and doesn’t tell you it was because he was focusing on your smile rather than the music because that’s corny and Sherlock Holmes does not have emotions

-Potions practical time!!!?!!

-You have to make Draught of Living Death

-You’re doing the potion, humming, skipping through a field of flowers mentally,

-and then the instructions say something wrong

-You freeze

-John, who’s sitting next to you, glances at you, also with panic in his eyes

-Listen to the book or your head???

-You just sit there

-And then a textbook literally comes flying in out of nowhere, someone coughing loudly behind you and it hits the back of your head and you nearly get dunked into your cauldron

-You whirl around and Sherlock’s glaring at you

-The teacher yells and he just shrugs and says ‘It was a reflex’

-You glare at him

-’Sorry’

-But anyways you pick up the book and a piece of paper flutters out

-Your breath catches in your throat; this is cheating

-Your fingers shake as you unfold the paper and slip it inbetween the pages of your textbook

-When the instructor isn’t looking you look at it

-’What did I say?’

-You grin and crumple the paper in your hand before making a mental note to set it on fire later and slip it into your pocket

-You listen to what Sherlock said and go against the textbook

-A few days later it’s practical D.A.D.A. testing

-You mess up the pronunciation of Aparecium

-(You say A-pa-rae-cee-um instead of A-pa-ree-cee-um)

-So you wave your wand and the cat slips out of the tip before bounding across the room to pounce on a piece of lint and then fading away

-Grinning, you look over at Sherlock, expecting him to at least try but he finishes the last spell and just pockets his wand, frowning slightly at your Patronus

-He pretends not to see your slightly crestfallen look

-You’re slightly angry that he taught you so much but you couldn’t even help him execute a silly spell

-Fast-forward to last day of school

-(John had started hanging out with the insufferable Slytherin brat and dragged you and Molly along with him, Molly’s hopelessly smitten with the arse even though you’ve warned her off of him multiple times)

-Everyone gets back their scores

-The four of you are sitting by the lake, Molly’s over the moon about her two O’s and the rest E’s

-John’s got nearly straight E’s and one or two A’s

-Sherlock, of course, got all O’s (except for his practical D.A.D.A. which was an E, but of course he doesn’t mention that)

-You haven’t opened your letter yet

-Sherlock goads you into doing it so you retreat further away, certain you failed everything

-Sherlock follows, ready to gloat about getting better grades than you

-He’s ready for you to say a mixture of O’s, E’s, and A’s

-You open your letter with shaking hands and then shriek

-Sherlock’s terrified like

-’Y/n did you fail everything? Y/n do you want me to get Mycroft to force them to give you all O’s? Y/n whaaaaaaat’

-You look up, shaking, the paper falls out of your hand

-Sherlock swoops down to get it, your nervousness is making him nervous and that means he’s getting ready to blackmail Mycroft into blackmailing the O.W.L. instructors

-He picks it up, looks at it

-Sighs

-’Y/n seriously you scared me I thought you failed everything but you got… all O’s—’

-He looks up and you just tackle him, shrieking into his neck like

-’I passed the Potions! I passed the Potions!’

-Sherlock just stands there awkwardly like ‘wtf am i doing Mycroft what do i do Molly help me JOhN wHaT iS tHiS?’

-Over to his right a bunch of your Housemates are laughing and Sherlock knows you really hate them bc they’re bullies so he glares at them and then you pull away so he turns to look at you bc ‘wait why are you leaving don’t mind me pretending i hate you i really love you’

-But his reflexes are so fast that he catches you still pulling away

-And like his lips are halfway on yours, halfway on your cheek

-You jerk back like you got electrocuted and then just stare at him

-Sherlock stares right back

-(the other Ravenclaws aren’t laughing anymore obviously)

-And you both just stare at each other getting continuously redder

-And then you cough awkwardly into your fist and look away ‘sorry about that’

-’Why’

-’Why what’

-’Why are you sorry’

-’Because you obviously don’t feel the same way—’

-’I started it I should be the one being sorry’

-’But it was an accident for you which means—’

-Sherlock rolls his eyes and steps forward to kiss you

-Sixth year is pretty uneventful at first

-You two start using the Room of Requirement for some ‘other’ activities

-But pretty much nothing happens until the middle of the year

-Irene Adler is making suggestive comments about your boyfriend and snidely asking you if he’s gay

-You shrug and then punch her right in the face, breaking her nose

-You stand up, shaking your hand out, and wrap one arm around Sherlock’s waist

-(He’s bright red and trying not to cry because he doesn’t have feelings dammit)

-’It really shouldn’t make a difference and even if it did it shouldn’t make a difference for you, since you obviously don’t care whether your partner has a penis or a vagina’ you point to Irene’s sidekick ‘she loves to complain about you saying you love her and then fucking another man just to have blackmail on him’

-So the two of you go to the RoR and you lead Sherlock in, expecting a congratulations or a thanks

-But he starts yelling at you that Irene is a terrible person to make an enemy out of and way to go, stupid, you’ve made her angry

-’I just—’

-’I can fight my own battles! You think I’m useless so you fight them for me, huh? Just to prove you’re a badass when I know’ he advances forwards, sneering ‘when I know for sure you’re insecure, anxious, dependent on the approval of others—’

-You slap him and storm out and ignore him for like two weeks

-The whole time John’s like cajoling you like ‘come on he doesn’t really understand normal people stuff’

-’Well that’s hardly my problem well is it’

-And Molly’s talking to Sherlock ‘If she hasn’t said that stuff outright she doesn’t want it known and you especially shouldn’t bring it up’

-’I was just labeling her shortcomings’

-’Oh come off it you were being cruel for the fun of it don’t pretend’

-Eventually he apologizes

-You, since you love grudges, ignore him

-That’s when the fight shifts from ‘both angry’ to ‘one angry, other repentant’

-And Sherlock falls down the rabbit hole

-Like sneaking out of his dormitory in the middle of the night to sneak into the kitchens and drink until he passes out

-John finds him one night with you in tow like ‘see Y/n this is Sherlock without you’

-You just sigh and turn away like

-’No’

-Eventually he gets his shit together with a ton of help from John and Molly

-He wins you back

-After that you two are closer than ever

-And then seventh year

-It’s fifth year but like even more horrible

-You two don’t even do stuff in the RoR anymore except study

-It’s just a hellish year of studying

-And then

-N.E.W.T. practical D.A.D.A. time lessgo amiright

-Sherlock’s like freaking out

-He knows everything but he wants to do something for you something special

-At the end of the exam you’ve hesitated a bit more than necessary and you’ve finished but you want to walk out with your boyfriend

-Sherlock finishes and you smile at him and turn away

-And then you hear ‘Expecto Patronum!’

-You whirl around

-There’s a teensy little mouse made of light scampering towards you

-Dramatic Flashback

-’Y/n you’re, like, a mouse’

-You laugh and kiss your boyfriend’s nose

-’Why’s that babe’

-’Cuz you’re so small!’ Sherlock picks you up and twirls you around once

-’Is that a compliment?’

-’I love you’

-End of Dramatic Flashback

-You know exactly what the Patronus means

-Sherlock just waves at you, the cheeky little fucker
