Window to Your Soul

Sooo - this is just a random thing I wrote some time ago and decided to share, gotta do my part in filling the BKTD tag! HINT OF DABIHAUL!

Currently, he's at the mall with his airheaded boyfriend, Katsuki didn't even know why he let Shouto's asshole of a brother talk him into distracting Half and Half, first of all, he didn't even like the My Chemical Romance reject or his creepy as fuck boyfriend. The only reason he even puts up with them is for Shouto's sake; his boyfriend having what he feels is an unhealthy attachment to his brother. Second of all, the second Shouto spots his brother, the two idiots are going to be inseparable - Icy-Hot is supposed to be his boyfriend God damn it!

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

Looking over from the mannequin Shouto is currently looking at, he sees Dabi standing near the shop's window. Rolling his eyes, he turns away from the older man and taps Shouto's shoulder; he'd seen the way Chisaki was scrolling through his phone's feed, meaning he'd already resigned himself to the weird as fuck bromance between the Todobrokis. When Shouto's eyes fall on him, he jerks his head to the shop's entrance. For a moment, Shouto blinks as if he doesn't understand, then looks over - Katsuki sees the exact moment Shouto sees his brother, his eyes widen, and his mouth opens a little in surprise, he turns and fucking runs towards him.

"Wait - !" he calls out.

It's too late. Shouto fucking runs into the glass window. Bounces off and stumbles a little, then realizes there's a fucking window barrier between them. On the other side, Dabi is fucking losing it. And honestly, Katsuki would be laughing too if he didn't feel secondhand embarrassment because this man is his boyfriend. Shouto doesn't look too fazed by the fact that he'd just did the single dumbest shit anyone can do in a mall and finds the door, he runs to his brother and jumps at him, Dabi catching him midair and twirling him around.

Katsuki sighs, "Christ."

BnHA Chapter 219: Two Good Boys and One Unlucky Broker

Previously on BnHA: Katsuki and Shouto had their licenses for all of 30 minutes (literally) before deciding to put them to the test. But let’s backtrack a bit! It was a beautiful snowy day in December and class 1-A was chilling out and watching the news. We were introduced to a company called Detnerat, and their CEO who’s apparently a big fan of this dead terrorist guy named Destro who wrote a book about quirk supremacy and how people with superpowers need to rise up and liberate themselves and shit. It’s actually really interesting and I can see how these ideas would create a divide within hero society much like Stain’s ideology did. But anyway, so the CEO casually murdered his assistant for mocking these ideas, so that was deeply horrifying. And then he went to meet with some other villains (because yeah! he’s a villain, apparently!) who are apparently descendants of Destro (as is he, I presume), and they talked about how they’re gonna arrange a meetup with the League of Villains so that they can FUCK THEM UP. Plot twist! Anyways and then we cut to some hapless citizens who were being robbed by some banditos, and that’s when Katsuki and Shouto showed up as previously mentioned. So let’s see how this goes!

Today on BnHA: Katsuki and Shouto take on Soda Sam (who I really did think was Aizawa’s old buddy for much longer than I’m proud to admit though), who fights back with some pressurized water jets. All Might saves a stupid Instagram lady and Katsuki saves the both of them, and also recovers everyone’s stolen wallets, because he’s a fucking boy scout now that the provisional course is over. Meanwhile Shouto whips out the ol’ hot+cold power combo of sports festival fame and knocks the villain out. Afterwards the two of them are enthusiastically congratulated by a pro hero called Slidin’ Go (who’s secretly evil, as it turns out, because this is a very strange arc) and hair ruffled by All Might and it’s fucking great you guys. We then cut back to the Detnerat guys, who bring in Giran, a.k.a. the League of Villains’ black market broker who just so happens to have balls of fucking steel. Good thing too, because the DetCEO plans to use him to track down and lure out the League so he can take care of them. Lastly, we cut over to said League, whose members are currently in the process of having their asses handed to them by Gigantomachia and are really not looking too hot, oh dear.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 225 -- I haven’t read 226 yet -- so any ETAs will reflect that.)

so it’s come to this. the Symbol of Peace, reduced to directing traffic

listen kid, you’ll have time for autographs later all right? for now just DO AS THE MAN SAYS

meanwhile Shouto’s being a badass

Bakugou may be out of his element in the cold (and we’ll see if this poses a problem for him--he’s only got one gauntlet on top of that), but this lil lukewarm lad is fine and dandy

loooooll

you tell ‘em Shouto. that’s some nice property damage there son. I hope Katsuki tries to keep his own quirk contained, the last thing we need is you guys getting billed Mt. Lady style for destroying fucking main street here all of 25 minutes after getting those licenses laminated

(ETA: I guess he didn’t actually do any lasting damage though? hopefully nothing got flood damaged when he melted all of that afterwards.)

the title of the chapter is “go! sliding go!” which sounds like fun. sounds like more icy goodness

(ETA: why did they name this chapter after the weirdly unsettling and secretly evil THE FULLLLLL BULLPENNN hero, though?? my working theory is that it was Horikoshi’s way of ensuring we wouldn’t just immediately forget he existed so that we could be properly surprised when he returned a few chapters later.)

anyway so Aizawa’s cloudy friend is shaking off the ice, and now he’s chewing the boys out for fucking up his big purse-snatching operation

all that for a handful of wallets?? seriously??

LMAO

I don’t know if it’s that I’m becoming more like him, or if he’s just becoming more like me. but either way Katsuki you gotta get out of my head there kiddo, I’m starting to worry here

by the way is it just me or is he actually higher up than he was just a few seconds ago. are you actually climbing this thing. drunk on adrenaline or what

anyway so Kumo, who may or may not actually be him but we’re just assuming for now, is explaining that he controls carbonated water and he lives for thrills. his words. not mine

okay first of all, no you don’t. fucking no one in this series has more resolve than that lil monkey slowly inching his way up towards that traffic light there

and second, you spent a whole goddamn month planning a purse heist. where the fuck did you get these airs you’re putting on dude

wow you guys

I feel like we should be placing bets not on whether Baku and Todo will win, but on how long it’ll actually take them. I’m thinking not very fucking long

(ETA: this whole thing is wrapped up within ten pages. I could have literally have been present on the scene, said to myself “my what a lovely snowy day, I think I’ll go buy myself some hot chocolate,” ducked into the Starbucks on the corner, and it would have all been over by the time I stepped back out. “you missed it!!” shouts the excited ‘it’s All Might’ kid from page one. “there was ice and explosions and this stupid lady almost got All Might crushed with a pole!”)

MY DUDES WHAT IS THIS??

SIX IN ONE GO. THIS HIGH SCHOOLER IS THE FUTURE NUMBER ONE HERO I’LL HAVE YOU SUCKERS KNOW

AHHAHAHAHAHA

I’M LOVING IT. I’M LOVING THIS. FUCK ‘EM UPPPPP KATSUKI

WHERE’S THAT RESOLVE OF YOURS NOWWWWW

holy shit. it occurs to me that this is only the third time in the series we’ve actually seen him fight real villains. and the second time was at Kamino, and he was pretty much just on the defensive there and trying to keep them all at a distance, so it’s debatable whether or not that really counts. so basically this is the first time since USJ that he’s gotten to just let loose against a bunch of mooks. and I’ve only just realized how much I wanted this omg

apparently he wanted it too lol. also I’m surprised and extremely impressed that he can control his trajectory that well with only one arm. gives me hope that Shouto’ll be going airborne like his pop any day now

anyway so Kumo? is fighting back though

watch out Katsuki he’s got seltzer and he’s not afraid to use it

okay but damn though

is this fucking seltzer water slicing through this metal lamp post??

I just took a brief break from reading this chapter to go look up “water saw” videos on YouTube to try and get an idea of what exactly we may be dealing with there. and well, I found this. so uh. depends on what kind of firepower that thing on his arm is packing I guess. but he might be more trouble than I anticipated

meanwhile!

ALL MIGHT LET HER GO IT’S NATURAL SELECTION

FUCK

IF THIS STUPID LADY GETS ALL MIGHT KILLED IN FRONT OF THESE TWO BOYS WHO WERE SO GUNG-HO ABOUT FINALLY GETTING THEIR LICENSES, SHE BETTER PRAY THE GATES OF HELL CAN PROTECT HER BECAUSE I’M GONNA GET ME SOME FUCKING BOLT CUTTERS AND FOLLOW HER DOWN THERE MARK MY WORDS

OH THANK GOD

oh my goddddd

first of all, whew. and second of all I’m so glad Horikoshi let him have that moment, rather than Shouto. just in case there were any lingering haters out there thinking his heart still wasn’t in the right place and that the only reason he was all TEAM RESCUE, BITCHES in the previous arc was because he wanted to win

and I mean, he did, obviously. but IT CAN BE TWO THINGS, and now we have a nice little moment here with him rescuing his dad (whose body moved before he could think, AS USUAL) and this stupid lady who put her Instagram above her own fucking life

meanwhile

okay Shouto you have my permission to kick his ass

yeah go ahead and fuck him up

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

PETITION TO PUT SHOUTO IN “GUESS I’VE GOT NO CHOICE” SITUATIONS MORE OFTEN

wow not!Kumo, he is literally the worst possible opponent you could have had huh. sucks to be you

lol Katsuki’s mad that Shouto got to be a badass

they’re getting along so well now. Shouto completely knows how to handle him, he’s like a Kirishima 2.0. he just completely ignores the fact that Katsuki is shrieking insults, and responds as though the questions were phrased normally

and Katsuki actually answers him despite everything. I know it’s crazy, but this is seriously progress

now Dad is running over to make sure they’re okay

“oh, All Might. didn’t see you there. we were just out here being heroic heroes. [stretches casually; yawns] all in a day’s work”

at least he didn’t reference his kidnapping! Kacchan’s protesting but really that’s the best he could have hoped for

so the dude’s asking if they did all of this and uh, yeah. who do think they are, amateurs? I’ll have you know they have provisional licenses, sir

did this motherfucker just pull 13 fucking wallets out of fucking hammerspace to hand over. Link?? is that you??

holy shit. is that why your pants were always so baggy?? WERE YOU JUST BEING PREPARED THIS WHOLE TIME

so not only did Katsuki not destroy so much as an inch of public property (aside from the pole which was already destroyed), he even had the forethought to rescue everyone’s wallets and hand them over to the authorities like the good law-abiding citizen he is

where the fuck is Gang Orca, I need to send that man a fucking fruit bouquet or something

oh my

new favorite panel alert

so this guy, whose name is apparently Sliding Go, says he’ll take care of the rest. okay. thanks man

meanwhile definitely!not!Kumo!mybad!sometimesI’mwrong’s little jet nozzle gauntlets are... exploding??

Detnerat? possibly??

good eye there Sherlock

so I wonder if they got them from Detnerat or from that black market guy the League’s associated with... Giran? I think is his name??

oh shit!!!

new new favorite panel alert

love how Shouto seems shocked at the unexpected gesture of fatherly affection (which hurts my heart. hey All Might you got room for a third son there), whereas Bakugou is just accepting it and probably even knew it was coming and is just trying to keep his cool and trying to calculate how long he can stand there basking in All Might’s pride before it starts to look like he’s actually enjoying it

sdflkjasldkj

SWEETHEART USE YOUR WORDS

Shoutooooooooo. ;_; that little smile is killing me, I’m melting. once the initial surprise wore off he was so happy. look at him shyly fumbling with his tie oh my baby I love you so much

oh to be a fly on the wall of that taxi cab. watching the two of them sit in the backseat as far away from each other as possible and looking out the window and being so pleased with themselves after all their hard work finally paid off. and meanwhile All Might in the front seat next to the driver, peeking at them in the rearview mirror and smiling softly

also fly!me would definitely try to sneak a peek at Katsuki’s fucking hero license because HORIKOSHI COME THE FUCK ON ALREADY WHY IS IT ALWAYS SECRET AFTER FUCKING SECRET

and I guess that’s that! a very satisfying fight that lasted all of 10 pages but had several cool moves, an opponent with a cool quirk, and several character development moments! that’s how it’s done! god this series has been fucking killing it lately I swear. I hope I’m not jinxing it but this is some good shit. the artwork and pacing are great, I’m liking the new plot so far... just, keep it up, Horikoshi, please

(ETA: for real though he is crushing it)

so now we’re cutting back to the ol’ villain corporate office in Gotham City or wherever

ah, so it was Detnerat!

well I can’t say this is a huge surprise. I imagine the villain market was too tempting to pass up

!!!

I swear to god this had better be more entertaining than the last League of Villains team-up

so now this dude with the shiniest, most luxurious hair I’ve ever seen is explaining that he worked fast because DetCEO told him “do so at once” and his words are the words of Destro

damn so there’s a pretty clear hierarchy here huh

OH SHIT

THAT’S FUCKING GIRAN. THAT’S THE DUDE. WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO HIM?? FIRST A MURDER IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER AND NOW THE LEAGUE OF VILLAINS’ FAVORITE BROKER IS GETTING FUCKING TORTURED BY CORPORATE THUGS, WHAT THE FUCK. ARE WE IN FOR ANOTHER HARDCORE ARC

(ETA: indeed we are, but this one is so much better though.)

careful, he’s sensitive and clearly not afraid to kill a bitch for less than that, Giran

!!

“the old man”?? is he talking about DetCEO’s father? or his? surely he’s not talking about AFO?

so now President Why So Serious is asking him how much he wants

and Giran is all “I happen to be picky about who I do business with, and since you all just kidnapped and beat the shit out of me, I’m inclined to say ‘no’ here”

(ETA: Giran is a stand up guy and it cost him a fucking hand. well that’s the risk you run when you work in the criminal underworld I guess.)

holy shit Giran

RIP Giran 2015-2019

but damn though, I gotta hand it to the guy, he’s got a bigger pair than I ever expected

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

okay so I’m just gonna post the whole page and break it down

GIRAN IS FUCKED. THIS GUY IS A MANIAC AND HE’S LEGIT GONNA TORTURE THE INFO OUT OF HIM HOLY SHIT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AGAIN

GIGANTOMACHIA IS FUCKING INSANE

AND HOW DID HE GET SO BIG

AND IS COMPRESS FUCKING DEAD. AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BEST VILLAIN GIRL TOGA OMG

SPINNER IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME TO REVEAL YOUR QUIRK AND HAVE IT TURN OUT TO BE REALLY BADASS IT’S NOW BUDDY

DABI AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU WERE OUT PLANNING NOUMU SHIT WITH HAWKS AND NOT DEALING WITH THIS UTTER SHITSHOW

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES TOMURA LOOK A LITTLE BUFFER THAN BEFORE? YOU BEEN LIFTING BRO

HOW AND WHY DID THEY GET TO THESE CLIFFS IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOWHERE

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, GIGANTO YOU’D BETTER WATCH IT, BECAUSE TOMURA MORE THAN LIKELY IS TRYING TO THINK OF A WAY TO BEAT YOU WITHOUT KILLING YOU, BUT IF HE DOES DECIDE HE WANTS TO KILL YOU, YOU’LL BE PRETTY HARD-PRESSED TO STOP HIM DUDE

oh my god. this is three awesome chapters in a row now. BnHA is killing it, seriously

[aicchi]

what are your favourite kiribaku au's? ;o

Oh boy this is my favorite ask because I have a loooooot of KiriBaku AUs, and I have a lot of favorites too (my own AUs as well as the AUs from my friends).

So… I guess I’m gonna tell you about my AUs, and well they’re sort of long… so I’m putting them under the cut hahaha

AU number one

Dragon / Dragon rider AU

it all happened in a magical land obviously hahahaha but dragons are very rare and dragon riders even more so since the dragons choose them…

and well there are like only three riders known in the entire history of the kingdom and all of them were knights and became riders only after seeing/meeting some random dragon and being chosen for reasons

but then bakugou was born and like he’s already been chosen.. he’s already a rider (but ofc no one would know not even bakugou himself) before he even met a dragon.. and like because of it he’s always spacing out, hearing a voice, feeling like he needs to go somewhere.. and since he’s always out of it he’s super prone to danger and everyone thinks someone evil is trying to lure him away.. plus it was the main reason why he was so angry all the time..

“Why the fuck are you looking at me like that ? I just said there was a voice, didn’t I ?”

“But Bakugou, there’s no voice-”

“I’m not fucking crazy, okay!”

but really its just his dragon trying to call out to him

and like in their kingdom they have magic schools too and well bakugou is like in the top of every class…the written ones at least.. the actual magic class… the reason? He has zero magical abilities.. nothing, nada, nope, none…

the thing is he can’t use any magic because he’s a rider even tho he hasnt met his dragon yet and because he’s a bron rider having magical abilities can mess up the dragon bond..

and like bakugou on top of the class, always wants to be the best, always angry when he’s not spacing out (everyone thanks the gods that bakgou is like spacing out 85% of the day) BUT doesnt seem to be bothered by the fact that he cant summon.. like everyone was expecting him to be super frustrated about it but he’s really not and he’s just like

“It’s just fucking magic. It’s not a big fucking deal.”

and no one really understands why because they live in magical land and he can’t even use any magic, so why is he calm?

(bakugou doesnt understand it too but deep inside its like he already knows he’s not made to be able to use magic)

but he’s still in the class because they thought he might just be a late bloomer.. it happens..

but their class had actual battles and the school system is shit so bakugou has to fight even if he can’t use magic.. so yeah he’s strong; breezed past other weaker magic users with just his sheer force and will..

but then this one summoner is too stupid and summoned a fucking high rank beast he cant control and its the first time bakugou actually got scared because shit his he can’t use magic and the beast had gone postal on everyone (not to mention the summoner had been knocked out)

and bakugou is just thinking “where are you? I’m scared. Help me.” and like he doesnt even know who he’s calling

and then bam kirishima THE GODDAMN KING OF THE DRAGON RACE just glides down and tears the beast who dared to harm his rider and bakugou just knows this dragon is his

(and it’s so much cooler because this guy with zero magical ability is the chosen rider of the DRAGON KING)

also bakugou’s the only one who can understand kirishima like he’ all growls and groans and whines and yips but bakugou understands him just fine

(ofc kiri has his very hot, very manly, and most of the time very nude human form buuuuuut that’s a story for another time)

—–

AU number two

The AU where Bakugou is quirkless and a nurse, and Kirishima is the hero who always needs to be patched up 

So Kirishima is the hero who’s very reckless, despite his quirk, he still gets injured. 

A Lot.  

But one time he got minor injuries and well Recovery Girl is attending to someone with more pressing injury, so Kirishima got sent to one of the nurseand lo and behold its this blond angry looking guy who’s hands seem to move super gently?

His movements are super gentle despite the mighty scowl on his face.But Kirishima is a big baby. 

He’s doesn’t like the sting of wound disinfectants and he just automatically uses his quirk 

 Bakugou: Stop being a fucking baby and let me put this shit on your wound before it gets fucking infected. 

 Kiri: But that’s gonna sting. 

 Baku: It’s supposed to sting. That means its working 

But Kirishima doesn’t deactivate his quirk, and Bakugou just points to one corner 

“oh whats that?" 

Kiri got curious, deactivates his quirk and suddenly he’s howling from the sting and he whips at this nurse looking so smug 

 Kiri: you did that on purpose 

 Baku: of fucking course i did, you baby. 

And Kiri promptly decides he likes this nurse so every time he gets injured he seeks this blond nurse out (he doesn’t know Baku’s name yet)and this went on for like 3 months until Kirishima finally asks what Baku’s name is 

Kiri: i always give you trouble but i don’t even know your name. 

Bakugou: its no trouble. I’m a nurse. this is my job. but if you want to know, my name is Bakugou 

Kiri is just happy he got to know Bakugou’s name so when he comes in injured he just always ask for Bakugou like, "hey where’s Bakugou? i have this giant cut in my arm" 

and Baku is like, "what injury did shitty hair have this time” when he gets called to patch a hero upkiri even wants to have baku patch him up when he gets a really deep wound 

“you cant patch me up?”

“no shitty hair this needs stitches, meaning you fucking need an actual doctor" 

"you’d go with me at least, right?" 

"fucking fine, you baby”

—-

AU number three

That AU where Kirishima is a major villain doing minor crimes so he would get noticed by Bakugou

This is my most fave AU.

I mean, please just imagine this

Kiri: Hey, Blasty I stole 10 diamond rings. Do you want to get married? 

Baku: Return them from where you stole them. 

Kiri: You didnt say no

or this:

Todo: Hey Bakugou - 

Baku: What did shitty hair do this time? 

Todo: He stole the mayor’s statue and city welcome sign. He said he’ll drop them off im the sea if you dont show up.

baku: tell him i’ll be there to kick his ass 

and also 

(there’s a big RED Lettering on this  newly painted walls saying, “I LOVE YOU, BLASTY!) 

baku: did you do this? 

kiri: Yup! 

baku: Why the fuck? 

kiri: because i tried to write i love you on a paper but its too small so i vandalized a wall and wrote it there instead so you can see. Did you like it? I practiced lettering to make it pretty! 

baku: *groans*

this too

Baku: Did you just steal a toy from a five year old? 

Kiri: Im a villain Blasty, what do you expect? 

Baku: return them. 

Kiri: I will if you kiss me. Do you want to kiss me. 

Baku: return them 

Kiri: You still didnt say no!

and also 

kiri helping baku catch some of the other villains 

baku: why are you helping me? isnt he one of you? 

kiri: have you seen his face, blasty? its so annoying. it pisses me off.

and also this

baku complaining about being too tired to always run to where kiri shows up 

kiri: !!! 

the next day there are five cars parked in front of the hero building and a note from kiri 

"i didnt know which car you liked so i stole five of them. Xoxo, Red Riot" 

last but not the least

baku: return the painting. 

kiri: maybe if you kiss me, i will 

(and bakugou just walks over to him and kisses him!)

baku: now the painting? 

kiri: *hands over the painting while screaming inwardly* 

and thenvillain boss: where’s the painting? 

kiri: HE KISSED ME *SCREAMS* 

*cue all villains face palming*
