a word for 'bad miracle'

Chapter 1 is HERE

Summary: Twenty years ago, Midoriya Hisashi walked out on his wife and Quirkless child. Three days ago, Midoriya Inko received a phone call informing her of his demise and when his funeral would take place.

Sometimes you're a 25 year old war veteran, making a difference one day at a time in a post-All For One Japan that's still feeling the repercussions of your high school days. Other times you're simply the forgotten child of a deadbeat, left to clean up your father's messes because he was too much of a coward to take any responsibility.

And now, you're a full time big brother, because the biggest mess left behind was the child your father replaced you with.

Chapter summary: The 7 Stages Grief Model is a newer module for examining the emotions that come with heavy loss.

The stages are not experienced in strict order, and vary by person to person depending on how they process their grief.

For the stages of shock and denial, the subject may seem unaffected. They may seem quiet. But this stage is one where the loss has not fully sunk in yet, where the mind is still grappling with reality. Where a fog may set in as they struggle to conceive a world without what they have lost in it. They may be stuck in a cycle of repetitive thoughts as they attempt to grapple with what has happened.

They can't be gone. It couldn't happen so suddenly.

How am I meant to live on without them?

Chapter summary: Ennui is defined as 'a feeling of listlessness or dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement'.

The time that immediately follows the passing of a loved one is filled with many things. Grief. Heartache. Regret. But an emotion left out is the mundane ennui that comes with moving forward and realizing….well, what now?

Chapter summary: One of the stages of grief is the depression stage, marked by sadness as the reality of the situation sets in. The truth of the situation settles deep, that this is how life will be from now on, and the grieving party will find themselves experiencing feelings of regret, loneliness, difficulty functioning, and social withdrawal.

It may be difficult to get out of bed. It may feel overwhelming to participate in life as one did before the loss.

But still, life goes on.

How did Deku meet all his top sidekicks?

I know you wanted all of them but this got longer than expected. More to follow pending how well this lands.

1. Yuki-onna

An understated aspect of heroics as a business is that what school you attend to get your training really does have an impact on how your career pans out. UA’s strongest point isn’t their training facilities or staff—it’s their networking opportunities. Students at UA get to establish themselves with seasoned pros as early as first year, so when it comes time for them to leave the nest and spread their wings they have no shortage of professional connections to draw on.

Shiketsu isn’t as good at networking, but it does buff up their students combat abilities to match UA pace for pace, and instills a professionalism in its students that makes them stand out among other applicants to sidekick positions.

Ketsubutsu lacks the intense prestige of the country’s top two schools, but it maintains an intense connection to the community that allows its graduates to ingrain themselves with the ground floor, so to speak, and allows their alumni to shove their foot into as many doors as it takes for them to succeed.

Northern Tokyo Heroics Academy did not have any of these high points.

Yukimoto Yuri graduates at the top of her class with perfect scores all across the board. She worked hard all three years in that school to achieve her flawless record. And what does she get for it?

Her tenth rejection. Not even from a Top 100 agency.

It turns out, perfect scores mean jack shit if the school you went to can barely teach its students how to properly file their paperwork. Northern Tokyo Heroics Academy’s graduates are worth absolutely nothing to the greater industry, and none of its alumni have done more than middling sidekick work for heroes who never get past the Top 50. Yukimoto Yuri puts her best foot forward to break this cycle, to prove she has what it takes, but...well, she has nothing any agency wants. Her Quirk can’t even make the big ice blocks that would make for a spectacular finishing move.

She’s about ready to throw in the towel and resign herself to a life of mediocrity when a voice pops up to her left, from where she’s bent over in a chair with her head in her hands.

“Bad news?”

Yuri resists the urge to whine, keeping her head down so that her hair will remain a curtain between her and the world. “It’s not even news. I’m just a failure.”

“I doubt that,” the voice says.

“I just got rejected by Blubberman’s agency. That guy barely even keeps his numbers up and he thinks I’m useless.”

There is a small beat of silence.

“...okay, yeah, I can see how that would be disheartening,” the voice admits, and Yuri can hear a sound like he’s shuffling a bit on his feet. “But Blubberman is also an idiot with career moves so I wouldn’t take his words to heart.”

“You’ve worked with him?” Yuri asks.

“I’ve fixed his screwups. Can you believe last year he showed up to an earthquake relief operation and tried to light a cigarette next to a bunch of toppled buildings? He nearly blew all of us up and I almost threw my own license out the window via murder charges I was so mad.” Yuri laughs, despite herself. It’s wet and it’s gross but it does make her feel better, knowing Blubberman’s idiocy isn’t some kind of secret she’s supposed to keep. “Is that your application?”

The papers are at her feet. Crumpled a bit from where she dug her hands in trying not to cry after her interview.

“Yeah. I’ve just—it’s been months and I can’t get a sidekick gig at all. I don’t know why I’m bothering.”

“Can I look?” The voice asks.

“Knock yourself out. It’s worthless.”

She hears the papers being picked up. Shuffled. The person standing next to her is quiet as he reads, and Yuri can’t even find it in her to be embarrassed at how little information she actually had to try and entice an employer. How is she supposed to get any takers when she has no experience?

“...is. Is this Quirk information correct?” The voice asks, his voice suddenly a bit choked.

She knows, okay. She knows her Quirk is useless on paper. She’s done a lot of work to make it at least somewhat useful for fights, but the registry can’t exactly show off all that when at its core it’s still just a lesser Quirk of extreme cold.

“Yeah. I know, it’s a useless—“

“This has so many applications to it! Can you freeze just the epidermis of a subject or does the freeze go all the way down into their muscles? Have you ever experimented with the brittle nature of certain metals exposed to the cold? Oh man—if your Quirk can also lower your body temperature, have you ever been able to fool heat reading technology? You could bypass certain security systems for stealth operations that way and—“

The sudden onslaught of questions finally makes Yuri lift her head. Her eyeliner is definitely ruined and god knows how blotchy her face is but she doesn’t think of that in the face of confusion.

She wishes she’d thought of that, because when she turns her head to look at her visitor she’s met with the scarred and freckled face of the man who killed Shigaraki Tomura.

“Oh my god.”

Deku—All Might’s chosen boy, the man who gave up the power of a living god to save Japan, the ultimate pinnacle of selfless heroics—looks outright bashful at her wide eyed stare. “Ah. I came on too strong, didn’t I?”

“You’re Deku,” Yuri says dumbly.

“I am.”

“...you’re Deku,” she repeats, this time stressed beyond belief. “Why are you—what are you even doing here?”

Deku—holy shit holy shit holy shit—smiles. “Analysis consultation. But I’m not really one to ignore a young hero who needs help, am I?”

He lifts up her application, waving it a little.

“Your Quirk is perfect for heroics. Why the hell would you keep getting rejected?”

Yuri hiccups, despite herself. “My school sucks. I worked so hard—I didn’t want to beg my parents for tuition money, so I went to whatever place accepted me, and it turns out I shouldn’t have even bothered because a degree from a third rate school is worthless.”

Deku looks thoughtful at that. A little miffed. Extremely considering. And...intrigued, at the core of it all.

“...well now that just won’t do,” he says.

“What?”

“You know, all my friends keep yelling at me to hire sidekicks. But I just never saw the point in taking on the big go-getters in the new graduates. I don’t think any of them really need my help to succeed.” Deku says, ignoring the way Yuri’s jaw drops and her face flushes with both hope and extreme indignation if this is some kind of cosmic joke. “Northern Tokyo really is a bit of a crap place to learn. They don’t produce very quality heroes so nobody wants to take the gamble. But...I kind of really want to see just what your Quirk can do.”

“It’s not that special, though,” Yuri protests, because this is way too much credit for what she can do—she’s not the kind of hero who can stand shoulder to shoulder with someone like him.

Deku just looks outright offended. “Not that special!? Your Quirk is Absolute Zero—not even Shouto can drop down that low easily, the first time he tried subzero temperatures he wound up hospitalizing himself. And you can just do it casually!”

She hadn’t known about that, actually. She assumed he had way better control over the cold than she did.

“I can’t make big ice—“

“That’s not a negative. A small icicle with enough speed to it kills dozens every year. You just weren’t taught how to use your Quirk to its advantages,” Deku fires back before she can finish.

Yuri is left stunned. Deku just continues to stare at her like he’s daring her to keep putting herself down.

“...you’re serious about this.”

“I never joke about potential. And I can see so much in you.” There’s a shine in his eyes that’s so bright Yuri actually winces, and suddenly so many things click into place. No wonder so many heroes of the new generation seem to regard this man as the golden standard. Is this how he looks at everyone? Is this how he uplifts every hero he works with? “Actually, here—this is my agency’s card. I want you to come. I want to try you out in the training room. And when you absolutely blow me away like I know you will, I want to talk to you about hiring paperwork.”

The card given to her is worth double its weight in gold, and Yuri can’t stop her hands from shaking as she stares down at it.

“...are you even real?”

She only gets the worlds most blinding smile in response.

One week later, Yukimoto Yuri appears at the front door of the Dekiru Agency with a new application in her hands.

One month later, the heroics world is buzzing at the debut of Yuki-onna, Deku’s very first sidekick.

Chapter summary: Emotional avoidance is when a person avoids thoughts or feelings of a traumatic event. This process is mostly internal, and others may not notice that the person is avoiding anything at all as they try to distance themselves from any mental recognition of what they have been put through.

One of the lesser known effects of this avoidance is difficulty in making or forming relationships with others, as the subject takes careful steps to avoid any of the unpleasant emotions that can come with human connection.

🎹 - Do your OCs have any hobbies?

🎹 - Do your OCs have any hobbies?

Answering for Hinata since she is best girl and the star of the show initially

The thing is.

The thing is.

Hinata is a Midoriya. They are genetically predisposed to needing constant stimulation. Their brains need to constantly have something to fiddle with or they go insane. Izuku grew up becoming a hardcore hero otaku to get his fill of stimulation, and this works out because heroes are always busy doing things so there's always new information to rotate in his mental microwave.

Hinata isn't a hero otaku. Hinata is an entirely different breed of nerd, far worse than her brother is but also far more well rounded.

Hinata is an avid tabletop gamer who is very eagerly into the Warhammer 40k scene despite the price tag, and DMs for (insert future edition) D&D and Pathfinder on the reg. She paints minifigs to go with it.

She LARPS.

She is also a rampant horror movie collector with firm and deeply held opinions. Her favorite is Alien and she will refuse to listen to your complaining that something that joyfully sci-fi doesn't count.

She's taken after her mother in being a big connoisseur of music, though Hinata favors alternative genres. She's big into the metal and punk scenes.

She cooks and bakes, as a form of enjoyment but also because a girls gotta eat and it might as well be good. Can't really work with chocolate though. She has the Sicilian's curse of hot hands.

She's dabbled in science fairs and junior bot fighting.

She is also deeply involved in the Society for Creative Anachronism, or SCA for short. This means you have now unlocked the second tier. This is where she starts getting far worse than her brother could dream of.

Her SCA activities include: Embroidery, sewing, calligraphy, knitting and crochet, ceramics, (though she doesn't enjoy it much, so she dropped it outside of group activities), and Historical European Martial Arts--Hinata has been learning to swordfight for several years now and finds it very fun. Extremely fun. This young girl is so eager to beat the shit out of people with weapons. Despite the focus on European swordsmanship she's also learned to use the naginata for naginatajutsu, which is still a martial art practiced today and therefore easy for her to find lessons on.

Her SCA activities bleed into other things, since now that she's learned the fiber arts she's started to really step up her cosplay game and get really intense about historical costuming. She's also starting to alter her clothes very heavily.

It's especially bleeding into her career plans.

Because now she's learning to blacksmith for fun and profit. There's a big demand for engineers who know how to make a good sword. :)

4, 9, and 11 for Michiko! The girl ever

4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?

Michiko is so good at keeping things to herself. Not really because she's hiding a lot, but because her family runs a software company and she was taught from a very early age that keeping an NDA is vitally important for many things in life. Running your mouth when you shouldn't can ruin long laid plans.

9. What are your oc’s goals for the future? Relationship-wise, career-wise, or other?

Michiko has rather lofty goals for her life.

More than anything, she wants to breathe life from her hands. She wants to create. She wants to become one of the great designers of the world, whose name will go down in history (and hopefully without some double edged bullshit attached, like the tainted legacy of Coco Chanel). Michiko is passionate about textile engineering and breathes that passion into her everyday life.

Though some may say a large part of that passion was born from her disdain for Best Jeanist. The 2000's called. They want their Canadian Tuxedo back. That man has been single handedly destroying denim's street cred all over again and she'll never forgive him for it.

11. Does your oc have any interests/hobbies that they hide from everyone? Why do they hide these interests?

Michiko's interests and hobbies sometimes come as a shock to others. She's a dedicated student of molecular chemistry. She likes to code. She's been speaking programming languages since she could talk since her dad would talk business at the table.

But she's never actually hidden these things from anyone.

It's just that nobody ever asks.

[shingekicornwrites]

1, 7, 28, and 30 for Hinata!

ask list here

1. What’s your oc’s most irrational fear? Is there a specific reason this fear came about?

Hinata's a bit unusual for a girl her age because she's really hard to scare. At least scare worse than a startle. She lacks a lot of the phobias typically found in young girls and it aggravates the boys in her childhood classes a lot, since no amount of sudden bugs or gross things will make her scream.

Lately, though...she hasn't realized it yet, but there is a sense of dread that's forming into a tangible fear.

The idea that if she ever spends the night away from home again, another tragedy will strike and the other shoe will finally drop.

7. What song reminds you of this oc? Does this match up with the type of music your oc likes to listen to?

Music plays a large part in Hinata's life. We've seen that this began because of Amane, who raised her in a house full of constant music. Of course it rubbed off on her. There are a lot of songs that make me think of her.

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac makes me think of her and her mother, listening to the vinyls together and talking about the bands evolution.

Pull My Strings by the Dead Kennedys makes me think of her deep love for alternative sound and anticonformist political messaging in music

Dragula by Rob Zombie just makes me think of her jamming out while working

But the one I keep returning to is Unknown Mother Goose, by Wowaka. It's not her usual type of sound. But she has a deep respect for Wowaka as an artist, because he wasn't afraid to play with the rules of song structure and left a massive imprint on his community before he passed. A single album of music changed the Vocaloid community forever and he hit the ground running with his band hitorie. The man worked himself to death with his passion.

And Unknown Mother Goose speaks to me for Hinata specifically because it's a song where this mad genius went "I don't know the words to describe how I feel. How do I sum up my career? How do I explain what these years of work and the act of creation feel to me? I cannot say them myself. So I will use a voice that isn't my own, and hope it reaches you."

And for a girl who is so avoidant with being vulnerable. That hits something.

28. What’s your favorite thing about this oc?

I can't say I have any one thing that's my bona fide favorite about Hinata. She's a layered girl with a lot of complexity to her. There's a lot of nuance and character building that goes into her.

If I had to pick something funny, at least, I'd say that something that's never not entertaining is a long running Bit where she keeps encountering anime universe bullshit and reacting to it like a person from real life would, refusing to partake.

30. Tell a random fact about this oc!

She doesn't get Dune. She's so fucked up about this because it's such a pillar of science fiction, you know? How can she not get it? But she doesn't. She's tried. She has tried so hard to make herself read this fucking brick of a book but she CAN'T and she knows the second she admits this she's losing her sci-fi nerd cred

[shingekicornwrites]

(Hi hope it’s okay to ask this here!!) I’m so curious about what Hinata’s relationship with Inko is gonna be like it’s been consuming my mind all day. Does she call her Auntie? Grandma? Just Inko? What does she think about her? Does she see how she supports her son’s interests and see how kind and loving she is and wonder why her dad would’ve left a woman like that? What her life would’ve been like if she had a mom like that? (And oof how that kind of thought would hurt).

(Side note loved the latest chapter. Until proven wrong I am holding it in my heart that the reason Hinata is so sour about Bakugou has nothing to do with his abrasive personality or his horrible first impression and everything to do with him liking Aliens more. An unforgivable sin /j)

Oh boy

So!

If you've noticed so far in the fic, the family dynamics going on here are. Complex. And messy. Much like real life.

Inko doesn't feel any ill will toward this child, but right now it's also not the easiest thing in the world to try to get to know her. That's her husband's other child. From his other marriage. The one he left her to have. She's sitting on the feelings of closure after finally getting to know what happened after Hisashi walked out and chewing on the reality of it all, and she knows that she and Hinata shouldn't be around each other until their hearts have calmed down a bit, because Inko is an adult and she knows that right now everything is a little too fresh for everyone to be at their best. But things will get better. They'll get better. And when they're better, she can figure out exactly how they want to exist around each other from here on out.

Hinata is not an adult.

Hinata is 12. And terrified.

Hinata, at the moment, is deeply terrified of Inko. Because Inko is the adult who has the most reason on this planet to genuinely hate her. Her own family who watched her grow up disowned her for petty reasons, so she has no reason to believe Inko will have any mercy toward her either.

Note: Hinata is not a reliable narrator on this subject. Because she is 12. And terrified. And traumatized from an event that's thoroughly ended her childhood without warning.

Hinata sees a woman who had to raise her son and go through a war with no support, and there is an intense guilt knowing she grew up extremely comfortable while this woman had work twice as hard as everyone else to try and give her son some kind of childhood. Hinata sees a good woman who was hurt for no good reason. And Hinata sees someone who should hate her, by all means. Most of all...Hinata sees her brother's mom, and knows that if hatred did show itself, she can't afford to make her brother choose between a kid who was unfairly dumped on his shoulders vs the mother who never abandoned him.

[shingekicornwrites]

I almost forgot I also recently commissioned the talented @sidsinning for a picture of Hinata and Nanami, a character from the a word for bad miracles au that we don't really meet until much later in the timeline. I love them your honor. They're so special to me.

[shingekicornwrites]

I recently commissioned the amazing @wiitchkins who's doing fashion lineups atm! You should definitely contact them and get one, I know I might be going back in a payday or two for a companion piece to this--it's Hinata! I wanted a lineup of Hinata's fashion choices (though a bit in the future, since we meet her at 12) in the a word for bad miracles au, currently being edited and prepped for release as we speak

I genuinely can't wait for you guys to meet the blorbo that has been rotating in my head for the past year

🍎 hinata?

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Oh you're just jumping right into the most uncomfortable topic huh

good

Hinata has had, overall, a very loving and pleasant childhood. Her parents adored her. They supported her in her career choice and welcome her friends into their home with loving arms. They've never missed a sports festival or kindergarten recital or official ceremony once.

Her relationship with her mother, though, is a bit complex. Because Midoriya (nee Umino) Amane was a stubborn mule of a woman who thinks that she knows what's best based on her experiences only, and she's never quite let go of the fantasy she cooked up while pregnant of what it would be like to have a daughter. Amane has always been a girly girl. The ideal feminine. The most picture perfect example of Japanese femininity.

Amane has never taken Hinata being a tomboy well, and arguments that were smaller and easier to get past as a child were starting to become more drastic and harsh as Hinata came closer to middle school, where Amane was certain it was time to mature into a young lady and grow out of it. Two months before the accident they got into a screaming match over Amane trying to sign Hinata up for tea ceremony lessons.

Amane loved her daughter and would burn the world for her. But Amane was not good at understanding her.

Hinata always thought Hisashi did, though.

Hinata's relationship to Hisashi was one she thought was very close. He was always supportive of her wants. He's the one who's had her shooting for MIT one day, to become an amazing engineer. She loved her dad. She thought he was the adult she could fully trust with all of her--his praise for her was never ending, always hyping up how smart and capable and successful his baby girl was.

He even tried her spicy food at dinner, even when it was killing him with his weaksauce tolerance.

Their relationship was one full of jokes and banter and helping each other defy Amane's rules under the table.

Right now though...

Well. Now Hinata's not very sure he ever actually saw her at all

[shingekicornwrites]

🍩 Hinata and Wakou Mitsuhi

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Hinata is in a fun position where I think she genuinely just does not consider anyone her rival. Not out of pride or thinking nobody can match her, but because her desire to improve is entirely self driven and she does not care about what other people are doing enough to get worked up about it. Similarly, she doesn't think of anyone as an arch-nemesis past perhaps a joke, because when she has a beef with someone she tends to be...very proactive about dealing with it.

That said, this doesn't stop others from making declarations.

Or the narrative from assigning her a foil.

Ishikawa Saizo, colloquially known as Diet Sasuke by the entire student body (and Dynamight, who thinks he coined the nickname himself) is what one may call her high school nemesis on the basis of being the single most annoying fucking client she has to deal with, thanks to her being the only engineer who makes bladed weapons. He's demanding. He's rude. He's dismissive of her time and her expertise. She hates him so much on a personal level.

Abeyama Seigo, her personal Bakugou in her life, may see himself as her nemesis, thanks to the narrative he's built in his own head that he is the virtuous childhood friend who realized she was a toxic snake and cut her loose. He thinks he is the good guy in their dynamic who is only trying to warn others of her treachery.

Mashiba Chihomi does not see her as a nemesis, but may come to see her as a rival. A social rival. One she cannot wrap her head around, because Chihomi is the queen bee of the social scene who is the most perfect example of femininity in action...and yet, Midoriya Hinata has as much pull as she does among the student body, despite the fact she walks and talks like a boy and refuses to participate in the social scripts Chihomi memorized years ago. It flummoxes her. She's so infuriated by it.

And these examples are just the ones who are narratively important enough to earn focus. There are others who have tried to take this title, but Hinata's apathy is a powerful thing. She does not care. She isn't about to start caring.

Mutsuhi is a different story.

Wakou Mutsuhi is in showbiz. Showbiz is a dangerous place to be, especially as a cute idol who just hit it big.

Mutsuhi has rivals galore, and a nemesis lurking around every corner.

Mutsuhi's biggest idol rivals are the ones who seem to match her group HimeHime and threaten their position at the top of the charts--one group in particular being tricky because it's not a group. It's one girl. With a goddamn duplication quirk. This little upstart just does a cute little jump and out pops fucking TEN OF HER who can immediately jump into a synchronized dance that puts other professionals to shame. Mutsuhi hates her. Fucking shortcut taking lazy ass--one of these days this girls quirk is going to backfire on her and Mutsuhi eagerly awaits the lack of foresight to show itself.

Her worst enemy professionally is definitely an idol who learned Taylor Swift tactics. She graduated from the cutesy stage to a more refined look. She starts beef with other idols so her fans can swarm them and bully them into quitting. She re-releases her own songs to cheat the charts.

She's not even good. She's mediocre as hell. But she has complete control over her fans, and that's what makes her dangerous.

But Mutsuhi's worst enemy overall?

Well that's easy.

It's her own older sister. Wakou Miri. :)

✨❤️🎯for best girl Hinata?

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

So the story behind Hinata's naming is that I knew what kind of personality she'd have right from the start. I knew this kid was going to be a tomboy, I knew she'd be blunt and loud and opinionated and have a very forceful presence that only increases as she ages.

So of course I went "I need to give her the daintiest most feminine name I possibly can"

The kanji making up Hinata's name are for things like "princess, noblewoman" and "kind, gentle, calm"--a name picked for the young girl her mother had hoped for, not for the one she got

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Hinata has had a very happy childhood full of good memories, so there are many she could pick from. But one that comes to mind right now is sitting at the Umino family estate with her grandmother, eating chestnut manju on the engawa and looking out at the rolling fields of the countryside

🎯 -What do they do best?

Hm. Now this one is a hard one to pin down because Hinata is good at a lot of things, because she works very hard on her many hobbies.

But I'll go out and say she's factually the best cook in her household by miles. No contest.
