Sin of Gluttony
Do you ever get a gnawing feeling that nothing will ever be enough? That you are so innately broken that you will constantly be left to the brink of dissatisfaction? Until the day you die. That no matter how much you scream no one will ever hear you? The point of unfulfillment will be so great that even the cells of your skin cry out in desperation. 
Will nothing make them stop?
Is it greed? 
Is it envy?
Is it misery?
Or is it love?
Or maybe even a lack of love within yourself? 
This craving only brings misery and the feelings as if I will never have what I'm so desperately seeking. This desperation is only masked by the uncertainty of what is missing within me. 
I am just a glutton who was lacking a reason. A pathetic street stray trying to mask the starvation I'm feeling. Trying to fill what no one could. 
so
why were you enough for me?
Maybe I should scare her a little... For not telling me about what Shes been up to...
I begin to lean off the edge of the ledge and feel myself drift off the concrete behind me. Before my head left her lap, I felt an orchestra of strings pulling my body closer to her. Unwilling to let me fall. 
"See?" 
“You literally couldn't have known that. What if I didn't and you actually fell??”
"Then you would be doing a really bad job at saving me." 
She punches my arm as I laugh. I've missed this. I've missed… 
Shes still worried about me. Good I guess that's a good sign. She will be back home soon anyways. Then we will be back to normal...right?
"How did you know i was going to save you though?"
"I just trust you."
Why couldn't you be enough?
She's hanging out with him again. my replacement. She doesn't think he's better too, right?
They walk together everywhere. He follows her around everywhere. Like a pathetic little dog. 
I stared at her from the building we usually meet at. She didn't come today. And I'm staring at reason number one. 
It's just an act. So why is she smiling this much???? Did she ever laugh like that before? Why is she getting so close to him? Was she ever that happy? Was she ever that happy with me?
This whole situation is making me so-
Why weren't you enough?
The scene was slowly blurring in front of me. And I couldn't make out what was happening anymore. All I could hear in the daze was her footsteps trailing away as I felt the dizziness of the world around me. 
When I awoke again. It was too late. The last scene played out as I begged for more. 
All I could feel was the life draining from me. Someone had hurt me. I could feel the pain brefitly. But all I could stare at was the look on your face. That's how I knew what had happened. I'm still using you as my guide and to my surprise you showed me something real. 
I could finally see you.
So tell me. Why can I see your face now…? Why only now can I see how you feel? 
As I slipped I could feel the weight of my body cave in on myself. I was… falling. And without your strings to catch me. Was this my end?
I was left unsatisfied again

Honestly I love the idea of dabi gaslighting you into being crazy for him, because it mixed the two camps yandere dabi gets written as, the first being cruel and awful with darling as a plaything, the second being softer with darling as a fragile doll. Personally I think it's a little bit of both, because Dabi is no where near a good man, but the idea he'd completely abuse darling just the way his father did to his mom, seems to hypocritical. Instead framing it like Dabi hates the vulnerability but sorting accepting it hatches a plan where if he can slowly but surely convince you that you are the crazy one, you somehow need him, that you'll need him and that's more stable than love and when he's that insurance he can trust you enough to be softer and all you'll be is grateful. It mixes his love with the awful means he chooses to take it, since he can't be vulnerable enough to trust love but taking it is what a villain can do
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just can't see him as the 100% sadistic bastard which some fics portray him to be. While I do agree that sadism would be a big aspect of his character, there would be times when he would just. Hold you. Cling onto you.
It's weird when it happens for the first time. You've been alone for a few days and then Dabi is home. He kicks off his shoes and wordlessly makes his way towards you. He reeks of ash and blood but you find it difficult to focus on that when you feel the scorching feeling of his arms enveloping your frame.
You still as Dabi gently rests his forehead against the crook of your neck. You feel the staples of his marred flesh against your own as he uncharacteristically inhales your scent.
"...I missed you." he mumbles in a tone so quiet that if he weren't sitting so close you could have sworn that you made it up. As much as he makes fun of you, Dabi loves your fragility. He loves just how easy you are to break but he has the fire power to ensure your safety. The thought makes him giddy like a schoolboy but he's sure not to show it.
His glee would give you an inkling of power over him. He doesn't want that.
As time goes on, it starts becoming hard to judge Dabi properly as a person. You slowly unveil the truth over the ages you spend with him and, to be frank, you are lost at how you ought to see him.
It really is his father's fault for turning out the way he did. The man hardly ever spoke about his feelings but one evening a fuse broke and he told you everything. Your horrified reactions only added more fuel to his hatred as you held him in your arms, by your own volition for once. He proudly boasted how he lost the ability to cry ages ago but the pools of blood leaking out of his eyes told you a different story. The scarlet liquid stained your white t-shirt, the splotches a grave reminder of this evening.
In that moment, you were not speaking to Dabi but rather the lost little boy who could never be good enough. He made your heart swell with all sorts of colorful feelings.
By the time he fell asleep, you were still wide awake, terror running rampant in your heart with the realization that you started to fall for your captor.
And in no time, Dabi picked that fact up. Let me tell you, it made his life so much easier.
Whenever he wanted to prove a point he would just thug at your heartstrings and make you feel like a fool. He has done so much for you, is this how you are going to repay him? Depending on the severity of the fight he might threaten to burn you, but that would be a last resort.
Dabi would like to keep you in one piece, thank you very much.
He is awful and he knows it. But he's just gone too far, he is too attached to you. If you were to ever leave, he would simply go haywire. It has gotten to the point where he needs you like air but you will not have a single clue about that.
The less you know, the better.

A/N; So there was an anonymous person who had requested a my hero academia x a rude reader who opens up overtime, but unfortunately my dumbass accidentally posted it while it wasn’t ready so anon whoever you are I hope you find this and I hope you like it! Since they didn’t specify I decided to do a little bit for every character I write! (Except for Eri since I only write platonic fics for her)
My Hero Academia x reader who’s rude at first, but opens up later on
Tumblr media
Izuku
He kinda interacts with you how he would with Bakugo at first
Is also probably scared half to death by you
Avoids you at all costs at first
Honestly he thinks you hate him until you clear up that you don’t
After that, when you begin to open up, he genuinely likes talking with you
If he can get the courage, he’ll probably ask if you wanna hang out somewhere to get to know each other, and hell, maybe the two of you can get closer than you thought you would <3
Tumblr media
Bakugo
He likes your spunk
Honestly, he actually really likes that you’ve got the balls to talk back to him
Would probably wanna spar with you a lot if your also a hero in training
It’s easier for him to make friends with you because of the fact that you guys are so similar
When you open up, so does he
And when that happens it’s just sorta a rare vulnerable moment for the both of you
He trusts you a lot. Don’t break that trust.
Tumblr media
Todoroki
At first he didn’t like you
You remind him too much of Bakugo
Too negative, too cynical
He generally doesn’t speak to you
Until you accidentally hurt Uraraka’s feelings on accident
He asks you what the hell’s your problem, which is followed by a lecture about how you’ve gotta fix your attitude
When you apologize to Uraraka and explain you really didn’t actually mean to hurt anyone, he calms down
He does his best to understand why you might not open up so easy, for whatever reason
From then on, you, Todoroki, and Uraraka are a pretty close friend group
Yes, Uraraka ships the two of you
Tumblr media
Aizawa
He gets it
He’s had tough students before, and even if you aren’t his student, you’re no different
When the two of you go on a mission together, he explains that you two need to work together, which means trusting each other
He asks if you would at the very least trust him to save you to which you say yes
When the villains in cuffs, he compliments you on your skills, and then walks off
From then on there was just some sort of close unspoken bond
What that bond is? Who knows?
Tumblr media
Dabi
Again, nothing new.
He has to deal with Shigaraki, you think you’re a hassle?
Beside that though, he actually likes you
You’re humor matches his, and he gets not wanting to appear weak in front of others
Once you two grow close enough, he’ll subtly check up on you when your sad, keep note of what your favorite food or drink is, and especially your eye color
The little things, you know? <3
Tumblr media
Shigaraki
Exact opposite of Dabi
Has a temper tantrum the first time you talk back
Yes, he did infact try to obliterate you
He failed, and then he cried
After that little outburst he calms down
He still doesn’t like you
And yet there’s still that odd lingering tension in the air?…
Tumblr media
Uraraka
Similar to Izuku, she thinks you hate her
Rather than cowering like Izuku does, though, she confronts you about it
Once everything is cleared up, she’ll talk to you in passing the halls
At some point she’ll start inviting you to the mall
And no she doesn’t care what gender you are, you’re being glamorized, and yes, Mina is going to be joining in on it
Overall a very fun person to hang out with, and a now close friend (maybe more???)
Tumblr media
Denki
Poor boy can’t take an insult at all
He’ll act like it’s whatever and then pout about it in his room
Why we’re you so damn mean? Did you just not wanna be friends?
Well now he’s determined to be friends with you
Gifts, outings, compliments, you name it
Once you actually tell him you consider him a friend, he’s so excited
Will not stop smiling the rest of the day, and can’t get rid of that weird flutter in his stomach
Tumblr media
Kirishima
He’s used to Bakugo being like this, so he’s used to you being like this
If you choose to insult him, he’s learned how to filter real vs fake insults, so he’ll laugh it off, and continue talking with you
He doesn’t mind carrying the conversation, as long as you’re not bored, he’ll rant his little heart out
He’ll happily spar with you to relieve some stress if you ask
He’ll also give sparring tips while sparring with you/ if you ask
Would absolutely love a gym buddy to hang with <3
Tumblr media
Jirou
Meh.
She just doesn’t really care for you at first
She’ll talk to you if necessary and laugh at your sarcastic jokes, but other than that she doesn’t really socialize with you much
Until she realizes you and her like the same band that it feels like no one knows
Will talk about music for hours
Eventually she’ll grow close to you, and you guys become good friends
Maybe if you ask she’ll even teach you guitar
Unfortunately, I’ll have to do a part 2, but that will be out in only a matter of time! Stay tuned!
With love and kisses,

Happy Birthday Surprise
Tumblr media
Shigaraki X Reader
Summary- Today was your birthday and shigaraki who's your boyfriend had came over to your house with the league to somewhat surprise you for your birthday. Shigaraki had plans to take you out somewhere fun as well since he really wanted you to have fun today.
Content- Shigaraki X Reader, Birthday surprise, small celebration, fun, little romantic, One shot, gaming at an arcade.
Note- This was something I wanted to kind of write for myself for my BIRTHDAY today!. It's a shorter one this time as it's a one shot fic. I hope you guys enjoy it though! this was fun to write!
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
You were still in bed, bundled up in your blankets, sleeping in past 10 o clock like a big ass baby basically. It was your birthday today and shigaraki was on his way over to your house with the league as a way to surprise you and to probably wake your ass up knowing damn well you will still be asleep right now. He already expected you to be asleep still since you always slept in and usually got up around 2:00 but he wasn't gonna let that happen, not today he wasn't. He was gonna wake you up one way or another and take you out for your special day today rather you liked it or not, he didn't care at all if it made you grumpy or whatever, he was still gonna do it.
When the van pulled up to your house everyone hopped out and approached the door, Tomura taking the key out of his pocket and unlocking the door before stepping inside with everyone following behind him. Dabi wasn't really about this and just thought it was dumb that Tomura wanted to celebrate your birthday and let you have fun on it.
"I'm gonna go wake her up, you guys get ready to surprise her"
Tomura said making his way up the stairs to your room before throwing the door open as loudly as he possibly could, disrupting your sleep making you let out a groggy groan as you pulled the blanket over your head in slight annoyance at the ruckus shigaraki was making right now. He smirked at your annoyed groan that left your throat as a response to his sudden entry. Tomura walked over to you and pulled the covers off of you, revealing your disgruntled face as he stood over you. He grabbed the pillow from under your head and started to lightly hit you with it in a way to further disturb your peaceful sleep.
"wake up lazy, It's twelve-forty-five in the afternoon"
You groaned at his words and at the fact he was still hitting you with a pillow.
"mgh..... for what?"
You mumbled out and shigaraki had paused his assault on you with the pillow for a minute, letting out an amused chuckle at your annoyance.
"It's your damn birthday, so you're not gonna spend it in bed all day, So get up, we are gonna go out"
"We are?"
You questioned a bit as shigaraki rolled his eyes at your response yet again, clearly unamused by your lack of enthusiasm as he went back to lightly hitting you with the pillow, trying to motivate you to get up out of bed.
"Yeah, now get up already, I'm not gonna sit here all day and try to convince you to get your ass out of bed, now hurry the hell up"
"Where are you taking me anyway?"
He stopped hitting you with the pillow and looked at you flatly before rolling his eyes at you asking him that stupid question knowing damn well he wasn't gonna tell you.
"It's a secret dumbass, If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"
You couldn't help the chuckle that left your mouth at his response, finding it a bit funny. He couldn't help but smile a little at your laugh finding it cute, and somewhat adorable.
"I guess not huh?"
You said finally sitting up in bed, rubbing your eyes a bit with your hair being an absolute mess at the moment. Shigaraki tossed the pillow at you softly before walking to the door way.
"Exactly now hurry up, and don't think about going back to sleep either like a lazy ass"
You stopped rubbing your eyes only to stretch a bit, letting a yawn escape your mouth as Shigaraki leans against the door frame.
"What are you so tired for huh? you sleep more than a damn cat you know that?"
"Hey I do not!"
You shouted at him playfully making him laugh a bit at you.
"Oh like the hell you don't, you sleep like your trying to hibernate or something"
He teased watching as you crossed your arms over your chest as a way to look annoyed at him.
"Oh no I don't.... meanie"
He smiled widely at your response. If there was anything he loved doing it was teasing you. Especially when it brought out such cute reactions from you that he loved seeing so much.
"Yes you do, and the fact your pouting like a child is only proving my point you know."
"Pouting? you literally just woke me up!"
He rolled his eyes as he pushed off the door frame and walked back over to you and poked your cheek with his finger, just to annoy you a little more than he already was.
"Yeah I woke you up at twelve-forty-five because it's your damn birthday"
"sleeping in a little longer still would've been nice though"
A chuckle left Tomuras throat as you said that before sitting on the bed beside you., watching as the tired, grumpy expression remained on your cute face.
"yeah, yeah you can get back to your hibernation after I take you out"
You smile a bit after he responded, your grumpy expression fading to a tired happy expression. He placed his hand on your head making sure to leave a finger up as he started ruffling your hair up even more than it already was.
"Good. Now get your ass up and get ready so we can leave"
Tomura watch as you stood up out of bed, stretching your limbs a bit as you did, chuckling at your bedraggled appearance.
"You look like a mess, your hair looks like you got attacked by a chicken"
"Oh shut up shigs!"
He started laughing at you telling him to shut up. You crossed your arms at him as he continued with his teasing, finding slight amusement at making fun of you sometimes.
"You should see yourself right now, you look like a pissed off raccoon or something"
You glared at him at this point until a slight chuckle escaped your mouth, shaking your head at his teasing. You couldn't stay mad since his teasing was usually pretty funny and you probably did look like that right now. He still loved you and you knew that, he wasn't ever to mean to you, still sometimes mean but not to over the top or anything.
"Alright alright I get it haha. Now get out so I can get dressed"
You said pointing at the door. He chuckled at your glare you threw his way for a minute though he knew you weren't actually mad or anything since you did understand his teasing. He got up from the bed with his hands up in defense and went over to the door, grabbing the door nob in his hand as he looked back at you.
"yeah yeah I'm going, I'm going. Hurry up though, It's already one in the afternoon"
He stated before closing the door to give you privacy so you could get ready for wherever he was gonna take you. You nod once before opening up your drawer and pulling out a T shirt and nice pants, slipping off your pjs and putting on your outfit for the day. You grab your brush and start brushing your hair which didn't take to long since your hair wasn't that long to begin with only being about shoulder length. Once you were ready and put on some nice perfume, you open the door and start making your way downstairs only to be met with the whole damn league in your house shouting at you.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N"
You did jump a bit not expecting the sudden shouting from them. The only person who didn't wish you happy birthday though was Dabi who was laid out on the couch and just flipped you off instead which was no surprise at all since that's just how Dabi is anyway.
"Oh haha thanks guys"
You laughed a bit as Tomura chuckled finding your shock hilarious. He walked over and put his arm around your shoulder pulling you close to him, giving you a half hug.
"What? you didn't think we would be celebrating alone did you?"
"Well I don't know... Maybe I did?. This was a nice surprise though I will admit"
He was a bit amused that you didn't expect everyone to be here but glad to see you were happy to see everyone there. You were feeling a bit more excited about what else Shigaraki had planned for you today, your curiosity growing, wondering where he had planned to take you today. You still couldn't help the slight nervousness in your gut though hoping the hero's don't ruin anything today though it shouldn't since the league was good about not getting caught or seen at all, so maybe you shouldn't worry about it to much.
"I am curious though on where you are planning on taking me"
A smirk appeared on his face as you asked that question. He looked at you before placing a kiss on your head and rubbing his hand up and down your arm leaving at least one finger up the whole time.
"you'll just have to wait and see Y/N. Now are you ready to go?"
You nod your head once indicating you are ready to go. As you did shigaraki removed his arm and looked over at the league before walking to the door. You all exit the home locking the door before going over and hopping into the van with you sitting by Shigaraki as Dabi was still slightly annoyed by this whole thing finding it stupid as all hell while Toga was rather excited along with Twice, spinner was driving, and Magne and Compress chatted about if they should at least get you a little something for your birthday or not. You all soon arrive to the location and it was a rather large arcade full of all types of games. You were excited to have been brought here and it was perfect really, You always enjoyed gaming with Tomura but you haven't been able to do it for so long due to him being busy lately and not having any time for it but, today he was gonna make time to bring you somewhere fun where you both can just battle each other at different games and just full on enjoy each other's company. All of you got out of the van when Tomura put his arm around you with a slight smirk plastered on his face.
"How's this for a surprise huh?"
He teased again. You however just couldn't wait to go inside and kick his ass at all the different games or, at least try since he was better than you at almost all of them then what he said had just registered.
"Definitly. Race you inside!"
You exclaimed to him quickly before running off towards the building and making it inside. Tomura went wide eyed a bit as you dashed for the building getting a full on head start.
"HEY NO FAIR"
He yelled chasing after you as Toga looked over at spinner with a laugh at the whole situation.
"I've never seen Tomura like this before"
She said tilting her head a bit. She knew it was your birthday but Tomura really seemed a bit different today, more energetic and happy than usual.
"He just want's to make sure Y/N has fun for her birthday that's all. Plus she is his girlfriend after all as well."
Spinner stated to Toga as the rest of the league hopped out of the car and made their way inside the building. You were all having a blast inside, playing all the different games and of course even despite the fact Shigaraki hates losing he actually chose to let you win just for today, only cause it was your birthday of course, any other day he'd go hard on you and not let you have a single chance in the world to beat him. When it came to games that were one player, he would stand behind you and help you out with them just trying to make sure your birthday was great and you had fun playing with and against him. You both soon decide to play a shooter game where you had to shoot targets and instead of going against you, he got behind you, his body pressed against your back as he placed his hands over yours as you held the gun, making sure to keep his pinky fingers up as he helped you aim at the targets. You missed a few times but did hit some as he leaned in a bit resting his head near your ear as he spoke up in a lower tone than usual.
"Try to keep your aim straight... there you go, like that. Now shoot"
He said still helping you with your aiming. You were really enjoying this moment with him while Twice ran by running away from Toga who was chasing him through the building, catching your attention for a brief moment as you let out a faint chuckle before turning your attention back to the game. Tomura slightly shakes his head though at Twice and Toga doing their usual thing.
"Dumbass duo"
He muttered making you laugh a bit at his comment about them.
"At least their having fun though right?"
"Yeah but their probably gonna get us kicked out at some point. Especially Twice"
You laugh at his comment.
"Twice? or Toga?"
"Eh both honestly. Twice is more likely to yell out something ridiculous like he always does, and Toga is just plain crazy"
"haha that is true"
"Yeah, their the two dumbest idiots I've ever had to live with. I wouldn't trade them for the world though"
He responded. After the games you were starting to get hungry since you guys had been playing for a good couple hours now, but before you guys were going to leave Tomura walked off on his own as you sat at a table with Compress and Magne for a bit.
"Did you have fun at all my dear?"
Compress had asked as he took a drink of his tea he had ordered a few minutes ago as dabi sat furthest away from everyone. You smiled and nodded your head feeling a bit worn out from all the games, the tiredness painted all over your face as you looked at compress. Tomura however was busy at a claw machine willing to win you a little prize before you guys head out. He slipped his dollar into the first machine he came across. He knew you were tired after playing games for quite a few hours and he kind of figured getting you a small prize would help make you feel a bit appreciated and little more happy after the long day. He started to play and to his surprise he actually won first try which he wasn't quite expecting that but he wasn't complaining either. He leaned over pushing the small door open, grabbing the small spider plush he had won for you and walked over to the table you were sitting at by compress and magne, holding it behind his back as you were ready to pass out on the table.
"Hey I got something for you, consider it a birthday present"
He said with a smirk on his face. You sit up and look at him with a soft tired smile present.
"Oh?, you did ?"
"yeah, I did. Now close your eyes and no peaking or I'm not giving it to you"
He spoke out in a rather stern and somewhat playful manner. You chuckled a bit and held out your hands closing your eyes shut, waiting for him to place it into your hands. Once he knew you weren't peaking at all he set the spider in your hands and you opened your eyes. A faint pink blush colored your face with your cute smile still present as well, you did love the prize quite a bit especially since he was the one who got it for you. It made him actually feel happy? seeing you happy like this.
"You better like it, cause I didn't win it for no reason"
He grumbled a bit but he was glad you did appreciate the gift he won for you. You got up and hugged onto him. It didn't take long for him to return your hug, putting his arms around your smaller body.
"So does that mean I get a kiss as a thanks then?"
He whispered in a teasing tone, allowing you to pull away just slightly so you could look at him, your eyes meeting each other. He still had a faint smile on his face while the pink blush was still present on yours. You both leaned in until your lips connected and compress smiled at the slight of you two. Magne thought it was rather cute to see you both like this. Tomura hummed a bit against your lips, enjoying how you felt against him like this as the kiss continued. Though he is usually harsh and rather moody, he wasn't like that with you and he was glad to have given you a fun birthday and spend the day with you.

Oh well
- world building
- spider Shig
- the fic in which Shig is an incubus and AFO has starved him all his life, this concept stuck with me I don't know why
- Slimebi
- the dialogues because they're so good
- the fact that since after you don't write about Hawks anymore you tend to kill off all the heroes in the first 1k (sorry it's just funny to me but in a good way I swear)
- I don't think I'll ever forget that scene with catbi in the tub and Shig domming another guy in the other room
- or basically all Dalliance
- the electrostim fic, the one with space traveller Dabi; I think that in that fic I loved the worlbuilding more then the porn (and I really like your porn lol)
- the fact that your blog is a safe space to talk about the freakiest stuff without judgment
- I don't know if it counts but your insane speed in writing, you're like "oh I like this concept", "oh I have ideas", and three days later "sbam here's a multi chapter fic that's the first" and it's 50k
- I was actually introduced at Shigadabi as pairing by one of your fics
I think that that's it. The points aren't in order, they're just how they came to my mind
Sorry if it's long lol, have a good day/night! ✨
Yes, hi, hello, I am CHEWING on this one!! I appreciate all of these comments so much but a couple to highlight:
I am so happy that you like my dialogue, i enjoy writing characters talking a lot and it's always nice to hear it's well received
🤣 I gotta kill Hawks and the other heroes right at the start otherwise I start to get comments asking what those characters are up to even when the story is very, very much not about them. I don't usually think about characters who aren't involved in the story, so this became my go-to way of avoiding those questions
Whenever I have free time I am always down to turn a wild new idea into a full story, I have to ride that wave of motivation while I've got it because otherwise my brain turns into a raisin I'm just so glad that so many of you are also always here and down to clown
I'm so glad I could help get you into this pairing! I hope that you keep having fun with it!
Thank you so much for commenting!

now, to the questions:
what was your favorite fight to write, if you have any?
what shouto meant when he said “Clearly I miscalculated in thinking I could adjust well enough. Won’t happen again.”? (what adjustment has to do with it?)
also: He thinks they will all be holding their breaths until this child hits adulthood. (... why adulthood?)
👀 would you ever divulge what hawks was keeping from shouto AKA what dabi/touya told him? i have theories!
why, what, endeavor did wrong when he arrested kajiya's father? shouto talks about the "sins of his father" and feels guilty because of how (he thinks) that relates to him, but i don't understand what endeavor actually did wrong there? he arrested a person who commited a crime, didn't he? kajiya elder's quirk was taken from him in prison like it seems to be the case with every prisoner and his family was left without assistance. but the lack of assistance is more the fault of the government and hero society as a whole, i don't understand how that is endeavor's fault individually. like, don't get me wrong, i don't like endeavor at all, fuck that guy, and he is somewhat at fault for upholding the wrongness of the hero society, but then most pro heroes are too, so i don't understand why shouto internalized that what happened to kajiya and her family is actually endeavor's fault specifically when what he did was arrest a person who had commited a crime.
and i'm not a l*o*v* apologist either, really (not trying to start anything but although they are fictional characters, i believe they should be held accountable within the story, just like endeavor should have been for how he abused his family), but why shouto seems to be more understanding of kajiya than he is of dabi/touya? i'm sorry but can't shake off that impression. and i mean, the two of them are quite similar: fueled by their anger at endeavor for what he did to them; act out by murdering innocent people just so they can execute a plan to get revenge on endeavor. what is the difference between them to shouto? like, both of them are murderers, with disregard for the lives of others and seemingly unrepentant; kajiya seems to directly have killed two people, but she is responsible for the deaths caused by the prison break as well. wouldn't it make sense for shouto to see more of himself/a mirror in his brother, because of the connection of them living with/around/through the same people in the same family?
oh boy okay let's take these in turn
despite the logistical headache, i really enjoy writing fights in general. i think i can give you a top two though. i remember just having fun with the godzilla fight, like just playing around with moves that were cool to imagine. and then the big quirk swap fight was a core conceit i had early in planning the fic so it took me ages to choreograph to get certain plot and character beats to happen, but i found it super satisfying once i had it down and i remember it being quite exhilarating to write because it's so dramatic and brutal.
this is hard to remember exactly!! i think given shouto's inner monologue right before this dialogue, he's talking about the fact that katsuki is angry that shouto got injured pulling a self-sacrificing manoeuver to (amongst other things) save katsuki from harm in the previous ch. katsuki of course is reacting poorly to this and sort of makes it sound like shouto's off his game because he's trying to be more protective of him (which he obviously resents) now they're seeing each other. shouto is understandably irked by this reaction because he would probably have pulled the same move regardless of circumstances, and in actual fact the reason he's being more protective is mainly that he feels guilty katsuki's not at 100% because of the quirk swap thing. but it is all sort of tied up in their unexpected relationship upgrade and the fact that katsuki from shouto's pov is acting really inconsistently towards him. all that to say when he tells katsuki he was adjusting, he's saying: "i don't have a problem/i'm not acting up/there's nothing wrong with me, i'm just adjusting to this us thing (on and off field)'. and then when katsuki (always insecure) immediately takes this as some kind of repudiation and respond like he's lying, it makes shouto double down and just be like 'my mistake for caring if you don't, i'll make sure not to do that going forward (asshole)'.
adulthood because they have not historically had a good track record with child abuse in the family. of course that continues into adulthood, but shouto remembers the worst of it all from his childhood, so he's sort of arbitrarily thinking he hopes no one fucks up his nephew/niece too badly in their infancy.
you know, the hawks thing was never something i set in stone, i just had multiple vague thoughts as to what they might have secretly discussed. feel free to share your theories and i can confirm what was closest.
yeah, the kajiya thing is absolutely just a systemic failure that she's kind of arbitrarily fixated on endeavor as the key culprit of because he's the face she can easily put to it. shouto is aware of this (and it gets discussed throughout the fic that the justice system was/is fucked) but 1) as a person he is very empathetic and finds it hard not to take this villain's personal anguish / vendetta to heart because in general he assumes a lot of responsibility for the victims of his family's actions, either direct or indirect and 2) a lot of his own frustrations with his father are tied up into how endeavor benefits from and exploits the hero system (can make it to number one *hero* while objectively being a terrible person who in his personal life is explicitly villainous for years, etc) and (this is more me extrapolating/theorising at the time than canon) was more focused on his statistics and numbers than the actual people involved in his defeats and rescues, which makes kajiya's point resonate for shouto because he really resents his dad's (previous) attitude towards the impact his actions had even on the field. it's not exactly rational, which is what other characters like bakugou rail against when shouto takes it so heavily upon himself.
this one was the hardest to answer because i can't remember all of my thinking here. but overall this is down to a couple of things, starting with the simplest one: i didn't know as much touya backstory / plot then as we do now! i think we knew for sure dabi was touya, but that was sort of it. and bnha has been a lot more forgiving/interested in enji and touya getting a lot of screentime to garner sympathy and justify their actions than i would necessarily have been if i was writing it, so back then i didn't expect shouto to be so staunch about healing the family/welcoming touya back into the fold- the canon i had in mind was that the touya/dabi thing would get revealed during the leadup for a sort of big final battle and then lead to enji self-sacrificing in some way to stop him from doing fatal damage to something/himself, which i guess isn't too far off, but i also saw touya as being very set on completing his vengeance and so causing serious harm to other 1-a kids in this final confrontation for maximum effect to shouto etc. the personal harm to people shouto loves would have been part of what kept shouto so cautious/relatively cold around his brother. after some unspecified but more morally grey touya redemption arc shouto and enji would have kept him from the death penalty, because as you say on principle i was always sure he would have a lot of empathy for his brother, but in this setting shouto would have found it very hard to rebuild anything with him after everything, and still be slowly deciding how to work with this relationship in the future. and then the second main point is that, with kajiya, he absolutely sees himself and touya in her (him and touya even discuss this a little at some point i think), someone consumed by revenge, which informs his empathy for her- but i think in a way it's easier for him because she's a stranger, not someone he has years of complicated history with and who tormented and harmed the people closest to him at a formative age. it's a subconscious thing, not a logical one. i think where the fic leaves off shouto would be motivated by the whole situation to go slowly revisit his brother.
hope that satisfies.

Fic authors self rec! ♡ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ♡
sobs this is sweet thank you for sending this to me :') I like the way you included some commentary for yours so I'm gonna do the same
Weathering (Dabi x Reader) - specifically chapter 07: sun shower
I feel like this chapter encapsulates my preferred style of writing; not overly detailed, very introspective, includes back and forth dialogue, hints of angst, and symbolism. It's short, sweet, and to the point.
Taking What's Not Yours (Kita Shinsuke x Reader)
along the same vein as Weathering, it's heavy on the introspection and paying attention to small details rather than larger pictures. I really like writing angst and incorporating lyrics from songs into my stories. it's also nice because I wrote it initially for an oc of mine and then tweaked it into an x reader fic, so in a weird way I feel like I'm sharing my oc even though I'm a little too apprehensive to outright share them
Ice Cream Sundaes (Donquixote Rosinante x Reader)
similar to Taking What's Not Yours, I originally wrote this for an oc and then tweaked it into an x reader fic. it's sweet, fluffy, and features feral child law which makes me laugh. I got to pretend that corazon was still alive when writing it :')
Red-Eye (Eustass Kid x Reader)
the very first espresso shot I wrote, which started the whole thing. I love writing for kid and had a lot of fun crafting his and reader's banter (it also let me live out my dream of talking back to a shitty customer but shh)
What a Cliche (Aizawa x Reader)
I started What a Cliche because I couldn't find an aizawa multi-chap fic with elements that I wanted, so it was purely self indulgent at first. it's the first ever multi-chap fic I've completed and also has the highest amount of words and chapters I've ever published, and also the greatest amount of readers/reader interactions. It's not my best work, but I am incredibly proud of the reach it has and the fact that I finished it.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Two ppl actually tagged me in this so thank you @malewifetouya and @happyely 🖤🖤🖤
Sadly some of my most favorite projects are ones that are still sitting in my drafts unfinished 😭 but out of all the ones I've posted these are the ones I'm most proud of <3
"Come Home" — Deku:
I don't even know if this would be considered a fic?? Cuz honestly this was such a short little thing that I wrote in under like 15 minutes 😭 probably the shortest amount of time it's taken me to ever write literally anything. But it was after I watched S6 E136 and literally that night I had a dream where this whole scene was played out in my head. And it just felt so dramatic in the right ways and just raw emotion that I had to write it down. And it's STILL my most liked post on this entire blog😭 but honestly understandable bc sometimes I go back and read it and I'm just like "damn wait I wrote that????" lmfaoo
"Only for you, Toshi" — Shinsou:
Completely opposite from the last one, this is actually the longest thing I've ever written. (that's posted anyway, there's a few longer still in my drafts) I just feel like Shinsou doesn't get enough love but he definitely deserves it😭❤️ all my friends that read it said they really enjoyed it and I'm just really happy with how it came out after working on it for a couple weeks, and that not touching it for a few months and then coming back to it only to finish it in like 2 days lmao
"Attention" — Dabi:
Now this wouldn't be a post about my fics if I didn't include something for my absolute favorite character in the entire show🖤 this fic was very self indulgent bc I'm such a brat🤭 and I'm convinced that Dabi is the king of brat taming. Fun fact, the outfit I described is something I literally own in my closet 😂
"Secrets" — BakuDeku x reader [UNFINISHED]:
This is a multi-part series I'm co-writing with my bsf @haru-x-ren on a joint account we made. (@bunny-x-haru if you'd like to follow) it's currently still a work in progress with only a few parts released, but it is a continuation of a 2 part fic I wrote when I first started called "You're the Only Thing That Makes Sense" — Bakugo So I do recommend reading this one first before Secrets for context and background info. I feel like you can really see my growth in writing from then to now, cuz that was like literally the second thing I ever posted lol. And Haru was literally my biggest fan bc he's the one that got me into writing fanfic<3 so after he read it, he had this absolutely BRILLIANT idea (spoiler) to take the scene I wrote where bakugo and deku were caught fighting after school hours (similar to that scene from season....2? When Bakugo learned about OFA) and turn it into a BakuDeku love triangle and I was honestly obsessed with the idea
And lastly
"For Your Eyes Only" — Dabi:
Another one for my fav<3 this one was for his birthday and is very nasty🤭 also with a little bit of fluff at the end bc I am indeed a hopeless romantic with no romance🥲 also, the cover photo is most definitely the reaction I was imagining when he walks into the room lmao
Side Note:
I know it's been a while since I've posted any writing and I am so sorry 😭 I guess I've just been in a little bit of a funk when it comes to my creativity lately. I mean I've got plenty, and I do mean PLENTY of ideas written down, but Im having a hard time executing them and turning them into something I can post. But I promise I'll get back to posting as soon as I can and I'm really sorry to everyone who has been waiting for stuff😭 I appreciate your patience❤️
Here's 5 other writers I recommend<3
@cathwritestragediesnotsins @aquadenks @kemakoshume @coffee-colored-hopeless-romantic + any other writers who'd like to make ur own posts<3

giran x dabi pleaseeee they’re so fucked up i love them i wanna hear your take on them
God, i love girabi. They've got so much flavor, so many different ways to spin them. Fun fact; girabi was basically my first ship in the fandom
In a more mild way, they're mutually using each other. Dabi uses Giran for drugs, money, and a place to crash, and Giran uses Dabi for his body. It can be a chill exchange-- Dabi's hungry and needs a place to sleep for the night? Giran makes him suck him off. Dabi needs some oxys to deal with his pain flare ups? Well, Giran wants him to bend over then. He needs some money? No problem, Giran can make some phone calls and pimp him out. It's only fucked up when Dabi's draining Giran dry by asking for money and drugs all the time and Giran's pushing Dabi into heavier and heavier kinks and making him do more and more shit.
I love the hc that Giran pimped dabi out btw. Especially if he kinda groomed dabi into it. Like dabi was already doing sex work bc of course he was, he had no other way to get by, but working alone as a teen is rough and he probably got ripped off/shorted or just flat out beaten up and raped by johns because he seemed like an easy target. Along comes Giran to play the nice guy, "aw kid, they're gonna eat you alive out here. Lemme watch out for you, I'll make sure nobody hurts ya or rips ya off, you just gonna let me get part of the cut."
Goes fine at first. Even after a little while Giran let's Touya stay with him bc he's "so nice," and keeps taking more and more of Dabi's earnings from the prostitution and telling him "well, ya gotta earn your keep, sunshine. You gotta pay rent somehow. You gotta pay me back for that take out I got you, aren't ya?"
Any time Dabi complains about barely getting any money back or not feeling up for seeing clients that night bc he's tired/sore/not in the mood, Giran hits him with the "ah so you just wanna stay here rent free then? You're not gonna pay me back for all the shit I've done for you? I took you in off the street out of the goodness of my heart, kid, if you're gonna be stingy then you can just leave." Until Dabi gives in.
Love if Dabi develops a sorta trauma bond type situation with Giran bc yeah he makes him do some uncomfy stuff, but he's so nice to him and Touya's so unused to anybody being nice to him or caring about him. Giran gets him high and fucks him within an inch of his life, but he tells him how pretty he is and he treats him to a fancy breakfast the next morning. Dabi doesn't feel up to seeing clients one night, but Giran calls them over anyway, completely ignores his cries when they rape him, and he's super upset about it, sure, but afterwards Giran comforts him and cleans him up, tells him what a good boy he is and lovebombs the fuck out of him. Anytime Giran does something fucked up, like beating Dabi or verbslly abusing him by calling him a worthless street whore and whatnot or taking advantage of him or pimping him out to some assholes, he makes up for it later by lovebombing Dabi, buying him little treats and trinkets and fancy meals, praising him and saying all the things Touya wanted to hear from his Dad. He can't stay mad at him, starts to overlook the red flags bc yeah Giran can be mean sometimes but most of the time he's so, so nice and Touya owes him anyway.
Also. I fuckin. Love love love the fics and stuff where Giran uses his fucky memory quirk thing on dabi and fucks him stupid. Giran why tf is your quirk basically a roofie? It's so good

3, 5, 28 => ask game?
AO3 Wrapped Ask Game
3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? - TRASDOBC, hands down. We’re not finished yet, but I’m so proud that I’ve gotten this piece even to 50k. It’s the longest thing I’ve ever written and the fact that I have it all planned out? That it’s almost finished? I’m actually super proud of myself and the reception it’s got. So thanks to everyone for being so warm and accepting me back into the fandom after all of these years. I can’t wait to finish out the story with you all and see what comes next.
5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? - Again, TRASDOBC. I was expecting, like, maybe a few people to read it?? But I’ve gotten so many new followers and people interacting with me both here and on AO3. It’s been so nice. I haven’t written for a “living fandom” in awhile and it’s been so nice. I forgot how fun it could be to have people to talk with about writing.
28. Favorite work you wrote this year? - TRASDOBC is a cop out, so I’m going to say Hallowed Be Thy Name. It’s a DabiHawks fic I wrote that I actually started writing in either 2022/2023. I wrote about 1.2k words of it, got burnt out, and then gave up. Back in May, I stumbled on it again and was just like WHOA THIS WAS GOOD and then just steamrolled through the whole thing. It doesn’t require any knowledge of the BNHA universe other than the fact Dabi and Hawks want to fuck since it’s an AU where one of them is a priest and one of them is a demon and it’s a good bit of smut, if I do say so myself. It’s also 6,669 words, which I worked really hard to do.
Thanks for the ask! Feel free to shoot me more numbers and I’ll answer more questions <3

Hiiiiii, it is I again!! I just finished Cold Love and gosh!
The ending was just so nice, mostly when I thought SHIGGY WAS DYING FOR A MOMENT- 😭 Then they were just being super sweet at the beach and I ngl cried a little, they all deserved that happiness <3 I also still wanna cry (In a good way tho) BECAUSE I FINISHED THE WHOLE THING I wanna write a little note to myself, next to my bed, erase my memories about these 2 fics, then wake up next morning, read the note and reread the whole thing with as much joy as the first time! I'm gonna reread them FOR SURE, but not now as they're still fresh in my brain :3
And you know, Cold Love has opened my mind more than it already was I mean I already love heroes and villains, but you've put a lot more details that made me go: "Shit, I didn't think it was THAT much"
The way you wrote how the hero commission treats heroes made me think of what my parents always tell me about Actors and Models. "Their lives/bodies don't belong to them, it belongs to the company they work for" That sentence hit me even more when the chapters were Hawks centered. Poor guy, he was a literal lab rat. The worst is that he ISN'T THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THAT
Villains, I already sympathized with a lot, in other medias and MHA too But your fic made me realize that, when they do those crimes, it's for them but mostly for OTHERS as well!! They're like heroes, in a way, because they want to make society BETTER. They do this because they know how it feels to be rejected, hated and they want to change it so NO ONE ELSE has to go through this. Also, we often see them not caring about dying if they do achieve their goal, because they know next gens will have better lives than they ever had. WHICH I THINK IS HELLA SAD BUT SO NICE OF THEM???
Though I DON'T agree with them taking lives of course, but I don't hate them anyways because, when they've been rejected by everyone and everything, how else are they supposed to get attention? Very unfortunately, crimes is often their answer…
I think, if I was in MHA, I'd also opt for the Vigilante route. Fuck the hero commission lmao
I won't tell why, but let's just say that I'm more compassionate about villains now <3
ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE!! Fanart for Warm Healer is on the way!! So keep an eye open? :3
Fun fact for Cold Love: When Bret asked why Dabi was in the closet, I blurted out: "BECAUSE HE'S GAY!!" Lmao
So yeah, just wanted to say your fics are great! They've inspired me into improving my own fics <3 I even started making my own Shiggy x Reader AND a Dabi x Reader too! Because most of them are smut centered and I don't want just NSFW ya kno?
Anyways, I'm done rambling lol Thanks for writing WH and CL, thanks for inspiring me, thanks for bringing me joy and sorry for rambling that much lmao
Hope you're doing well, lots of love, take care and keep being awesome!!
thank you so much for such a long, sweet message 💗💗💗
I really enjoy bnha fics where the writers closely examine the society and its problems because its SO interesting (and im kind of sad the way it went in canon, I wanted a lot more and found the school setting kind of restricting for it in general, but we'll always have fics haha) i'm glad you enjoyed me doing that just a little bit! (maybe it was kind of weird to include in a romance SI series, but also it would've felt like a huge disservice in my opinion because ALL of the villains stories are influenced by the society they live in and how heroes are treated...)
aaah again, don't feel obligated to do the fanart but if you do, definitely tag me/send it my way, I'd love to see!! 🥺 (also you're writing your own shigaraki/reader and dabi/reader!!! omg!! I hope you have fun making your own!!! they're so fun to write <3 I agree on the wanting more SFW SI fics, sometimes I just wanna go on silly adventures with my favs y'know? :"))
no need to apologize for rambling!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it so much!!! your message made my day ^_^ I hope you have a good day too and your writing/art projects go well!!

Little Mouse Ch. 15
Warnings this fic will contain mature themes. Such as but not limited to teasing, kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome, very unhealthy relationships, some elements of non-con/rape, threesomes, drug use, breath play, voyeurism, branding, sex.
Summery: Rin is starting to see those around her more as people. and of course some spicy fun time with Dabi
Word count: 6222
Last Chapter Next Chapter
"If you two continue your going to give this old man a heart attack," the voice above her had her jump though she had nowhere to go to actually get away from Dabi as she was pinned between him and the bed. But that didn't stop her from pushing Dabi back some and squirming her way around and to glance over the side of the bed at Compress as he was laying there those hazel eyes glancing over at her as she checked on him.
"You'd like that old man," she could hear Dabi's snide remark to Compress but she paid it no mind aside from the fact it earned him a smack to the chest with the back of her hand.
"How are you feeling?" She asked even though she could hear Dabi click his tongue off of his teeth for the smack he earned himself.
"Like I lost an arm," was that his attempt at a joke? Rin wasn't completely sure but still she softly sighed and shook her head at the man laying on the bed.
"Here I'll give you a little something to help the pain. But you have healed up as much as I can do myself. Just gotta let your body do the rest. Shigaraki says he knows someone who can make you an artificial arm but we need you to heal up first," Rin said as she grabbed the first aid kit she had beside the bed. Pulling out a vial and syringe, she quickly filled the syringe before placing the vial down beside the first aid kit.
"You touch that vial and I'll rip your fingers off," she said coldly as her eyes remained on the syringe. But both men in the room knew who was talking to at that moment as if she had been able to feel Dabi eyeing up the bottle of morphine.
"Awe you're no fun," Dabi said as a wide grin pulled at his lips.
"I have a limited supply and Compress will need it. Also you would probably kill yourselves with that much," Rin said as she stood up and leaned across the bed as she gently took Compress's right arm in her hands and carefully slid the needle under the skin in the bend of his inner elbow and into the vain.
"This will ease the pain. Stay in bed and I'll go fetch you some food. You may feel a bit off but please try to eat and drink as much as you can," she said softly as she watched Compress's eyes softly start to glaze over as the strong pain killer also seemed to give him a little high.
She watched as Compress relaxed into the bed seeming to not have any issues now that the pain in his body was numbed. Without having to worry about him being in pain for the moment she turned her attention to Dabi. Keeping him away from her small drug supply was now her main concern.
"Come on. Let's go get some food. He's gonna need something to eat," she said as she started to push Dabi out of the room making sure that she never turned her back on him.
"You know it's the middle of the night. Where the hell are we gonna get food," he complained though he didn't fight her as she pushed him out of Compress's room.
"Convenience stores are often open twenty four hours. Though we really need more healthy foods that will have to do for now. I wonder if Shigaraki could get me a heating plate or something and some actual food so I could do some cooking?" The question had been mumbled softly more so meant for a self conversation but it's not like she cared if Dabi heard her talking to herself. After all out of the two of them she was the more sane one, or at least she hoped she was.
"Lead the way Princess," Dabi said, letting her take the lead down the hall.
"You know I hate when you call me that," she growled softly remembering how he had called her that when he first kidnapped her. And that was still a bit of a sour thought. And yet at the growl from her Dabi burst out in a deep laugh enjoying the way she growled at him. His shy and timid little mouse was growing a backbone which made her all the more fun to bug.
"And that's why it's so fun to call you that," he said simply with a wide smirk. As he followed after her with his hands stuffed into his pants pockets and his eyes lingering on her ass as she walked ahead of him.
"I hate you," she growled softly under her breath as she walked ahead of him heading for a back door, and stormed out of the warehouse with Dabi on her heels.
"Love you too princess," jeez she just wanted to turn around and punch him. But that too would probably give him what he wanted. He enjoyed ruling her up. It entertained him was what she believed he liked to say.
"Once we get to the convenience store you stay hidden outside. I don't need anyone spotting that burnt mug of yours and calling the cops," she said as she walked down the street with Dabi now falling in step with her. Of course she could hear him click his tongue off his teeth.
"Don't worry I'll stay hidden. Though it's not like it would matter. I'll just burn up whoever tries to call the cops," Dabi said simply having no issue at all in killing someone.
"No! We need to stay on the down low. That means no picking fights and no killing people unless it's a must have," she hissed at him as she shot a glare at him as she watched him scowl unhappy with being told what to do. And yet he didn't actually argue with her. After all, they both knew she was right. Just starting a fight with people and pulling in hero's would cause them issues.
Weaving their way through empty streets and dark back alleys they found a decent looking convenient store. Of course Rin told Dabi to stay hidden in the alley way as she left him to run across the street and into the store. She still had a small bit of money on her so she made her way through looking for simple and cheap things. Of course she ended up grabbing some instant ramen for her, Dabi and Compress before she made her way through the store looking for anything else that may catch her eye but nothing did. Though a flash of blue across the street for a split second had her sighing. It was only a second or two that she saw the flash. But she wasn't stupid she knew what Dabi had just done. And after she just told him not to go around killing people. Of course she knew that leaving Dabi alone invited distaste, so she wasn't much surprised. Instead she grabbed her things and rushed to the front counter to pay and then rush out and across the street.
Of course the sight that greeted her still made her stomach turn even though she had tried to steel her nerves. But still the sight and smell of a burnt corpse had her biting back the urge to empty her stomach. It was probably a good thing she was hungry.
"Holy fuck Dabi," she growled as a hand covered her nose and mouth as if that may keep the horrible smell out.
"What's the matter princess?" He asked, smirking as he watched her reaction as she tried not to empty her stomach at the sight of the lump of burnt flesh before her.
"I said not to kill anyone. I was gone for fifteen minutes," she growled, turning her eyes to him as she glared at him rather than continue to look at the sight of the mangled corpse.
"He knew who I was. I couldn't let him just walk away," Dabi said simply with a shrug of his shoulders as if it was no problem.
"Ugh whatever. Come on let's get the fuck out of here before someone sees something," she said before grabbing his arm and leading the way down the alley and back towards the warehouse. At least now she had an idea of where the warehouse was now that she had been allowed to leave without being portaled around.
Of course Dabi found it incredibly funny to watch the woman nearly run back to the warehouse with him on her heels. After all, it was entertaining to watch how paranoid she was as they headed back. While he on the other hand didn't give two shits. After all, Dabi felt strongly he could burn anyone to a crisp who stood in his way. But Rin was far more realistic. She knew she didn't have a strong enough quirk to take on just anyone. She never even made it onto the ranking board when she was a hero. So there was no way she would be able to fight with someone who was ranked top fifty if not even top one hundred. And she is even less strong now than she was three years ago even. Sure her quirk abilities have been honed a little better but still she would never be able to hold her own in a fight with a top ranking hero. Or so she felt at least.
Once they had returned to the warehouse Rin was able to breathe again as she took a deep breath of the dusty and stale air welcoming the calming sense of safety. That probably should have rang out red flags right there. She honestly felt safe with these people. Sure they were a little crazy and insane. But she no longer felt like they were going to try and kill her. Well Dabi might still try but it almost felt like he was no longer as rough with her as he had been before. It had been a while since he smashed her face into a wall. And he only grabbed her throat when they fucked. That's an improvement? Right?
Ugh once again she didn't want to think about how horrible it was that she felt so safe and welcomed. Even as they were greeted as they entered through the large door. Toga gave a forced smile but that bubbly energy she typically had seemed miss placed. The loss of Big Sis Megs had seemed to hit her hard. Though it was a flaw of working around killers, you never knew when someone was going to die.
It wasn't till Shigaraki approached them that Toga walked off. She looked exhausted. Was it staying up nearly all night ? The rough day they had? Or the most likely answer was that it was both. But before Rin could think to ask she ended up with Shigaraki glaring down at her. Though she was starting to find the man less and less intimidating as long as she stayed out of arm's reach that is.
"How is Compress doing?" Was the scratchy question that came from Shigaraki as he looked down at her with those red eyes.
"He's stable and seems to be doing well. We grabbed him some food which will help him even more," She said as she raised the hand that held the bag of stuff she had grabbed from the convenience store. Shigaraki seemed happy to hear that as he simply gave his head a nod to her. But the hand that nearly violently scratched at the raw skin of his neck told her that something else was bothering him.
"Shigiraki come with me please. There's more your healer would like to talk to you about," She said softly, giving him a soft smile hoping he would not snap at her for walking him to do something she said.
She watched the man scowl at her and for a moment she was expecting the man to snap at her and tell her once again that she was not allowed to give him orders. She knew to be careful, trying to remember to talk to him more like this was some sort of game than real life as he seemed to take that the best when she had something important to say. Though she rarely played rpg or mmo style games so it wasn't exactly easy for her. But still she tried her best and that's all she could do, though it seemed to be getting easier as Shigiraki seemed to be growing more friendly with her or maybe more civil was the better choice of words.
"Fine. Let me know what you have to say," He said simply as the clawing of his neck seemed to slow to a simple little itch and he nodded his head.
"Thank you," she said softly with a bow of her head. She started to make her way out of the main room and decided to head towards the little makeshift kitchen area. She waited till they were out of the main room and no one else was around before she dared to ask her next question.
"There appears to be something on your mind? Does it have something to do with the Yakuza from tonight?" She asked him softly as she glanced over at him.
"Yes. He's a very important player. He needs us more than we need him but still it would be best if we could get him to work with us," Shigiraki actually answered her. She was a bit surprised he told her something that could be important.
"He has an impressive quirk and a lot of ties to the underworld. I imagine he would be an important person to have around," She said simply after a second of thought. She could see why that man and his group could be important. They were a strong group to still be alive and not how did Compress put it? Extinct? It showed that someone his age who was currently running the immoral group was not someone to take lightly. He was strong, in multiple aspects. Other people rarely will follow another person for no reason. Whether he controlled his group with fear, strength or something else was hard to say. But no matter how he ruled, the fact that he looked not much older than herself meant the man was also dangerous.
"Yes my master had talked about him and he is importants," The mention of that faceless man she had met when they had tried to kidnap that poor blonde boy had a shiver run up her back. She had learned later that the man that stood toe to toe with All Might was who Shigiraki called Master. That man was terrifying in its own way.
"Then it's probably important that we try to mend the bridge with him then. So how do you plan to do that?" She asked as she paused in her steps for a second before walking into the little kitchen area. Well all it really was, was a room with some counter space and a sink. But it worked as a cooking space for Rin.
"I do not know,'' was the reply Shiggy gave her which didn't surprise her. She had always had a feeling that Shigiraki was not the brain. He was the puppet that was simply being controlled. But now came the concern that with his puppet master gone there was no one to keep Shigiraki in check other than Kurogiri. But Kurogiri was more like a babysitter and there was no way he could control Shigiraki. This was a bit of an unnerving realization.
"May I make a suggestion?" She asked, waiting till he nodded his head before she continued, "I would suggest trying to talk with him again. Though maybe leave the League here. Take Kurogiri with you so you can get away if a repeat happens. Try and figure out what you can do to get the man on your side. He would be a good ally to have so making him happy is not a bad thing."
Shigiraki knew she was right, having Overhaul on his side would be incredibly convenient for them. And she wasn't wrong, trying to make that annoying man his comrade was not going to be easy. And Shigiraki was not overly happy with the thought of having to meet up with that man again. But it would be unavoidable if Shigiraki wanted the man and his strength to be a part of the league's forces. Shiggy needed to swallow his pride for once and do something to try and fix the issues that were standing in his way of this task.
The days to follow seemed to blend together as Rin cared for Compress till someone Shigaraki called Giran delivered some sort of new metal arm for Mr. Compress, it was easy enough for Rin to install it for him. Though it seemed Compress had bounced back pretty quickly making jokes and already showing off his sleight of hand magic tricks even with only one hand. But all that time together she had grown to know a bit more about the man behind the mask who she used to not trust at all. He told her stories of how his grandfather and father were both criminals. He grew up with this life unlike the others who appeared to be people who fell through the cracks. Which explained why he was still so sane compared to the others. Or maybe he was just a different sort of insane? Rin wasn't sure anymore what made a person sane or not now a days.
And with the new arm he really seemed to come back to life. He seemed so much closer to his old self which was relieving. It also meant Rin no longer had any reason to hide from Dabi, though she wasn’t able to do that well even when she was caring for Compress. Dabi was more often than not her loyal shadow, groping and grabbing her ass any chance he could. But at least he kept his pants on while others where around so it won her a few days or no rough sex. But of course that only meant she found herself assaulted every time she was alone. And yet she often didn’t mind. It was such an odd relationship they seemed to have. Was it fair to call it a relationship? Probably not fuck buddy's was probably more accurate but nonetheless Rin wasn’t exactly sure what the best way to explain it even was.
In the meantime it had seemed that Shigaraki was trying to take her advice as he eventually reached back out to the Yakuza leader that she had briefly met that night when Compress lost his arm and Magne her life. Supposedly Shigaraki was supposed to meet the man again. Then again Rin didn’t know what day it was or how long it had been since she had offered the man her advice and thoughts on the matter? Had it been three days or three weeks? Her internal clock was gone now.
Walking back into the main room after what felt like days of staying hidden at Compress’s bed side she was greeted by a few familiar faces. Though some were missing. Shigaraki and Kurogiri were missing, as was Dabi for once. Were they all together? Or had they all set out on their own missions? She probably wouldn’t know the answers till someone got back.
Toga was quick to spot the woman and go bouncing towards her all the while rambling off quickly about how happy she was to see Rin and how lonely it was without her. How annoying it was that Shigaraki was giving Dabi and the others orders while she was stuck with nothing to do. And so as usual Toga was happy to gossip about whatever little thing Rin had missed while caring for Mr.Compress. There wasn’t exactly much to gossip about. She was mostly just bored and unhappy Shigaraki wasn’t giving her stuff to do like a lot of the others. So she was spending her free time around the alleys and along the shadows of the underworld.
Rumours were spreading like wildfire about the downfall of both All Might and All for One. Who was going to fill either position? Not only was there no leader for the hero’s, but there was also no leader for the underworld. Who was going to fill that position? Sure the league of villains had been making a name for themselves but there were a few others who wanted that spot. Though Rin didn’t really care about who wanted or got that position. Though she had a feeling Shigaraki was going to be aiming for that title. After all it was his master who held it before him. In a sense it seemed only correct that Shigaraki would be the one to step up and take that position. Unless the man had a kid? Hmmm maybe Rin didn’t want to be thinking too hard about that man and what he did with his life behind that tv screen.
“Toga do you know where Dabi is?” Finally at some point Rin was finally able to ask as she looked around noticing after half an hour Dabi had still not returned while she was sitting and listening to Toga ramble.
“Not a clue. Shigaraki has been giving him some orders about new recruits but I’m not actually sure what the hell he’s doing,” Toga said with a shrug of her shoulders. Of course the blonde kid would know the gossip from the shadows but wouldn’t have a clue what some of her fellow league members were up to.
So this meant that Toga wouldn’t have an idea on when in the world Dabi would be returning. And now Rin was trying not to pout like a child. Hell when in the world did she actually start to enjoy that annoying murder's attention? Maybe it was cause they didn’t try to kill each other any more and just enjoyed some rough sex? It was hard to say. Maybe it was the same time she started to see the people around her as that. Real people who fell through the cracks. The system failed them, society failed them. And this was their way of lashing out, or they were trying to in some twisted way fix how fucked up the system was. Was this the right way to go about it? Rin really didn’t know that answer anymore. On one hand she felt it wasn’t but another side of her felt it was the only way to actually make a difference. When had the world turned so grey? What used to be black and white, good and evil. No longer felt that way when she could no longer tell where that line was.
Well this sucked so now she was stuck waiting around in the big main room for Dabi to return. Though at least Twice spotted her zoning out barely listened to Toga which irritated the poor girl. Twice was quick to join them sitting on the other side of Toga more than happy to reply to her chatter and gossip. Rin flashed the man a soft smile as a silent thank you to the man who just helped her out and kept Toga from throwing knives around at her. And so Rin sat there silently waiting for Dabi to return. Not even aware that as she was waiting she ended up with her head rolling forwards and her eyes drifting shut as she fell asleep.
How long was she asleep for? She no longer felt she was leaning against a wall or crate or what did she even fall asleep against in the first place? She couldn’t remember any more. But she did know the warm body beside her was incredibly welcoming as she found herself cuddling up against the warmth. Though the vibration of a low chuckle only continued to pull her brain from the fog of sleep before she slowly forced her eyes open to look up at those bright blue eyes that were apparently watching her sleep as she had nuzzled up against his chest as he was laying back just watching her. Apparently she was back in their bed. How she got there she didn’t have a clue.
“Good morning princess,” was the greeting she received from him. Which she tried to glare at him for.
“I hate when you call me princess,” she groaned, still half asleep. Which only had him laughing lightly some more.
“And that is why I love calling you that,” he said as he laughed and watched her continue to glare at him.
“When did you get back?” She wanted to change the subject from the annoying nicknames he often liked to give her.
“A while ago. But you were fast asleep in the main room along the crates. You know you snore when you sleep sitting upwards,” of course the snide little comment earned him a back handed slap to his chest which only made him laugh at her once again.
“What have you been doing?” She was curious to know what Dabi’s been doing with his time away from her. And for a split second he was quiet.
“Shigaraki has me on recon looking for good people to join him,” well that was a short answer that didn’t exactly tell her anything more that she already knew.
“Any luck?” She simply asked, she knew she was being nosy but she was curious what the man was doing.
“No. They're all just a bunch of useless pieces of shit,” she couldn’t help the soft snort that escaped her when she heard that answer.
“I have a feeling Shigaraki should have left that job to someone with slightly less standards than you,” she said simply as she looked up at him and could smell the burnt flesh that clung to him. She didn’t want to ask what he did with the people who did not meet his strict standards for those who wanted or should join the league.
“Nah we can’t just let any idiot join,” he said simply as a hand reached over and she watched him grab a pack of cigarettes before pulling one out and tucking it between his lips before a small brilliant blue flame lit from the end of his index finger. She really only saw the blue flames when they first met. At that time she didn’t exactly stop to admire the flames. Even such a small flame was so hot that it didn’t even need to touch the tip of the cigarette for it to start burning the tobacco. And yet Rin just watched eyes completely zoned in on the flame as she watched it continue to flicker even as he inhaled the lung full of cancer.
“Well aren’t you easy to impress,” was the chuckle that greeted her ears before she forced her eyes to look away from the flame to look up at him before looking back at the flame.
“Do you know how hot a blue flame is? Actually don’t answer that question. It’s amazing to see that you can create a flame that reaches nearly 2,000 degrees Celsius. It’s amazing that you're even able to create such a hot flame,” though the look of his hand and the burnt skin was a very quick reminder that clearly his body couldn’t handle his quirk. And it was easy to see why nothing would withstand that crazy high heat without burning to some degree. But still it was odd to see a body housing a quirk it clearly could not handle.
“Yeah yeah I get it super hot blue flame is cool,” complete sarcasm laced his voice as he rolled his eyes at her. Though a part of him was thankful she didn’t mention his burnt skin.
“It’s beautiful when I don’t have to worry that it’s going to burn me,” Rin answered rather bluntly. After all it was true, the blue flame was breathtakingly beautiful when she didn’t fear it was going to burn her to death.
Though that comment and the clear bluntness of it did surprise Dabi a little. He had never seen his flame as beautiful before. Still couldn’t even though she seemed sure it was. His flame felt more like a curse, the only thing it was good for was killing people and being strong. Exhaling the lung full of smoke into the air above him he watched her nose scrunch up as the smoke filled the air around her. He felt her body tense up before she started to cough.
“Geez can’t you smoke outside?” She whined, raising a hand to try and wave away any smoke that lingered in front of her face as if that would magically make room for new clean air for her to breathe.
“Don’t like it you can go outside,” of course he would tell her to go outside if she didn’t like him smoking around her. Just as she was pouting she had no desire to get up. Oddly enough it was nice for once actually cuddling up against the man. He never let her cuddle, but she must have done so in her sleep and he couldn’t pry her off. And so she didn’t make any movement even as he purposely blew smoke into her face when she didn’t move.
“Ass,” she cursed as her eyes watered and she started coughing again as Dabi laughed at her. Well at least one of them was enjoying themselves.
Rin still wanted to know what was all going on, she may have been more welcomed now than before but it was still clear they didn’t fully trust her with the way they kept information from her. I or maybe it was Dabi who didn’t trust her since Shiggy seemed so much more willing to chat with her and didn’t seem to give just a single barely a sentence reply. That’s who she needed to talk to if she wanted actual answers.
“Do you know if Shigaraki is back yet?” She asked to pick her head up off his chest about to push herself up and off of him but froze as she watched the scowl that crossed his face at her question.
“And why the hell do you want to know if he’s back?” Was the hiss that greeted her. Well fuck she probably shouldn’t answer that question but she still did anyways.
“I want to chat with him,” she said simply, which had things take a one eighty, quite literally as she found herself with her back against the bed. A hand wrapped around her throat as Dabi had her pinned. Which earned him a scowl from her.
“Why the hell do you want to chat with that crusty ass?” Once again this was another question she should have known to not answer.
“None of your business but I find him fun to talk to sometimes. At least he chats with me more than you do,” she growled up at him as he glared down at her. Clearly Dabi did not enjoy that she was about to get up and leave him to go look for some other man. The hand around her throat tightened in response, cutting off a bit of the blood going to her brain. Which in turn brought some high she had started to enjoy as she struggled not to moan. Though the look on her face and the way her eyes had nearly rolled back into her head gave away the pleasure she was feeling. That hard his scowl turned to a smirk. So much for wanting to go find Shiggy to chat.
She felt his body lean into hers as the hand continued to tighten. It wasn’t till his hips ground against hers did the moan she was trying to suppress escape her. And that was exactly what Dabi wanted as his lips crashed against hers. Her head was swimming and yet she happily returned the kiss. Her questions would have to wait a little while before she would be able to hunt down those answers.
Hands were all over the place. Hers were roaming along the edges of his shirt before tugging them up. His free hand was nearly ripping at her own shirt. It took seconds for clothes to go flying, and Dabi showing off his skills at unclipping her bra with one hand while still keeping her pinned down. The best she could do to help him was to try and arch her back off the bed. Fingers pinched at her nipples drawing more moans from her though they were a little quieter due to the difficulty of getting the air out of her lungs. She even found the hand warming up a little as he teased her body and watched as she could only squirm and moan beneath him.
The second his fingers let go of her nipple they instead headed south giving no warning before two plunged deep into her depths. That had her back arch, her hips thrusting up against his palm as he smirked down at her. Though that didn’t last long either as her pleasure was building as his fingers worked and all of the sudden the fingers disappeared. Her muffled cry gave away how desperate she was to have the fingers return to their job. But the wide shit eating smirk on his lips gave away that his fingers would not be returning up that position.
When had his boxers come off? Then again she couldn’t remember when her own panties were ripped off. Both probably hit the floor at the same time. For a second the fingers around her neck relaxed a little allowing blood to rush to her head making her light headed as Dabi lined himself up. A single rough thrust buried him deep within her body. She cried out in pleasure at the sudden assault on her body as her walls quickly tried to adjust to Dabi’s large size. His piercings just seemed to hit every spot perfectly as she moaned happily before the fingers around her neck tightened once again cutting off the blood to her brain and even cutting off a bit of her air.
Though her brain was fogged up and seemed to just want to shut down, her body continued to move on its own as her hips moved in time with his as they both chased their highs. One hand had found its gripping his upper forearm of the hand that kept her pinned down. Finger nails digging into the toned flesh. Which brought groans from him but he made no action to stop her nor pull his hand from her neck. Neither of them ever got away from sex without some sort of marks. Claw marks and hand marks were nothing new for either of them, a little blood drawn or bruises were now normal for her life.
Dabi’s pace had never slowed even as Rin found her climax first, her head rolled back. A cry of pleasure escaped her as her body spasmed beneath him. Instead his pace became wild and rough as he chased his own climax before a low groan escaped him and both body's became still. The sound of heavy breathing was all that filled the room as Rin blinked her eyes pushing the black dots away as the fingers around her neck fully released her and the hand moved away as Dabi rolled off her to look for the half smoked cigarette he had tossed to the ground when things started.
With her breath caught and the weight that kept her pinned down gone she slowly sat up glancing around the room for her clothes as Dabi found what remained of his cigarette and lit it back up with that beautiful blue flame of his. Oddly enough Rin found her emerald green eyes glancing over the man's bare body. The scarred skin drew her gaze, and of course she couldn't help but lean forwards and reach out to run a finger along a line of stapled skin. That probably wasn't the best decision as his hand grabbed her wrist with an incredible tight grip. She winced softly at the pain that shot through her wrist.
“What do you think you're doing?” he growled at her as his grip nearly broke the bones in her wrists.
“Your scars are mesmerizing,” She said simply as she looked up at him to watch the surprise cross his face as he dropped her wrist as if she had just burnt him. No one had ever said anything about his scars like that. And he did not know how to reply or even react to that. And so in a panic he tossed on his pants and without a word had left the room and a surprised Rin who was still naked in bed and was stuck watching as Dabi now ran from her.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤
Thanks for thinking of me, nonnie 🥰 This was actually a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, picking 5?? It was a good excercise in remembering I actually do like a lot of my past catalogue lmfao
The summaries got kinda long and I also wanted to do a little commentary on each so I'm gonna put the full post under a cut but the short list is:
Singularity (Shigadabi)
i've looked for love in every stranger (to get to you) (Sylvix)
Hello, My Name Is Human (Odazai)
Divinity (Matchablossom)
Blur (Sheith)
Singularity | ShigaDabi | General
Alpha Arietis dies in a brilliant storm, spraying billions of years’ worth of accumulated gas and matter through the cosmos as it collapses in on itself. Great fingers of dust reach toward the endless abyss, and cradled in the palm of the cooling nebula, a godling sleeps. His heart is white-hot and aching, all the pain of his progenitor’s end pulsing through him as he curls in on himself. The gazes of the other gods weigh heavily on him as the universe swims into focus. Their whispers ripple across galaxies to wash over his still-tender form, awakening in him an anger that beams into the darkness as his eyes open, twin crimson spheres cutting through the endless night.
This was such a fun style experiment!! I wrote it for a zine and it was by far the shortest fic bc I decided to go with the dialogue-less option; it felt better suited to the space vibe.
I looked up so many astronomy facts for this too, which was fun bc I'm a bit of a space bitch (even though I probably fucked it all up for the ~narrative~ lmao). Did you know! Beta Capricorni, one of the stars in Capricorn (Dabi's sign and mine - we share a birthday, and it is my favorite BNHA factoid), is commonly known as Dabih, derived from an Arabic legend saying Beta Capricorni and Alpha Capricorni, aka Algedi, were "the lucky stars of a slaughterer."
I really really want to dive further into the concept of gods being birthed from dying stars at some point - there's so much I didn't get to in this fic just bc of limits and themes and such, but I think it's fucking cool even if it's not popular.
i've looked for love in every stranger (to get to you) | Sylvix | Explicit
“Yeah. Listen, Fe, I’m sor—” “Don’t,” Felix says. When Sylvain opens his mouth to protest, Felix cuts him off. “Seriously, don’t. I don’t want your apologies.” Sylvain arches a brow. “I just want you—” (And oh, those words on their own are nearly enough to unwind that barbed wire, but somehow it hurts worse knowing it’s not what Felix really means.) “—to be better.” Felix takes a deep breath, turns to the kitchen counter, and fiddles for a second too long with the tabs on the pizza boxes. “I hate watching you hurt yourself.”
Man, where do I start with this one. I picked at this fic for over a year and a half before deciding to finish it for a bang, and I'm so happy about how it turned out. One theme that shows up a lot in my writing is "love is an action and a choice," and I think this fic showcases that beautifully.
Sylvain's so fucked up here and I love him so much. This timestamp from the middle of a breakdown and subsequent guilt about said breakdown just...really hits home. And Felix being there - CHOOSING to remain there - through that one and all previous ones? clenches fist They're in love, your honor.
I just think it's important to show that being kind of a shitty person doesn't preclude you from being loved, nor should it.
Hello, My Name Is Human | Odazai | Mature
“No need for sorry,” Oda says, the words automatic. “That’s not your place.” It’s the wrong thing to say, comes out nothing like he’d intended. Dazai flinches as though he’s been shot, curling up into himself and away from Oda before scrambling to his feet. There’s no easy grace in his movements today, only a quick, jerky retreat before Oda comes to his senses and darts after him. He wraps a hand around Dazai’s forearm to tug him back, and there’s nothing but rawness in Dazai’s eye when he turns around. “Let me go,” he says icily. “It’s not your place.”  “Dazai.” “Fuck off,” Dazai mutters, shrugging Oda’s hand away. “I’ll go die alone, then. In my place.” “Hey,” Oda says, soft as anything as Dazai’s turned half away. He holds his palms out, the same way he would for a stray or lost child. Dazai takes a shuddering breath. “I’m sorry,” he continues. “Your place-” “An executive doesn’t have a place,” Dazai says. “A weapon doesn’t need one.”
This was the spiritual precursor to in the morning i'll be with you, and upon rereading, I realized I wrote pretty much the same fic twice 😅 There's just something that hits EVERY time about softness in the face of bluntness about doing and wanting terrible things. I chose this one instead of in the morning because of one of the places the two fics diverge, actually.
In this fic, Oda actually says "I love you" to Dazai and Dazai does not take it well, and it feels important to me that not every I love you is received with an equally passionate "omg I love you too." But like I said for the Sylvix above, it's also important that it's expressed, even if it hurts or isn't received or reciprocated.
Divinity | MatchaBlossom | Explicit
“I don’t need anyone,” Kaoru whispers. He’s always been good at making bad decisions when it comes to Kojiro; this is another in a long line of failures and he’s not willing to admit yet that maybe Adam fucked him up past the point of no return. “It’s fine,” he mumbles when he hears Kojiro shifting. He’s too afraid to watch him walk away. “You can just go.” And instead of leaving, Kojiro shuffles forward and hugs him. Kaoru is surrounded by impossibly gentle arms and the scent of pine, and though he’s used to the latter, he hasn’t been touched like this in a long, long time. “I’m not going to go,” Kojiro says softly. His face is buried in Kaoru’s shoulder, lips warm where they brush across his skin. “I’d say sorry, but I’m not, Kaoru. I don’t want to.”
God this fic actually kickstarted my writing motor after being really burnt out and plateaued on skill for a while. While it's not my most technically skilled fic (I don't think any on this list are, tbh?), it was fun to write and it's still fun to read.
I loved being able to take a softer turn with Kaoru's anxiety as opposed to some of the harder mental health issues I'm used to expressing in my writing. And Matchablossom were really just out there on screen being Like That at all moments, huh? Their dynamic is just such a joy to play with, whether it's softer like this or harder like some of my other SK8 fics.
Blur | Sheith | Mature
“Everything I’ve done, everything I’ve made of myself, and it still isn’t enough. You know they always said shoot for the stars? I didn’t just shoot, Shiro, I helped save those stars. Where is there to go from there? There’s no coming back down to Earth after you’ve seen realities collapse around you. There’s no normal.” “It doesn’t need to be normal,” Shiro says. “I WANT normal!” Keith’s chest heaves, throat raw with the force of his insistence as his truth is birthed into the world. Twenty-five years’ worth of longing shake themselves loose from inside him and when they bleed out, so does his energy. He sinks to his knees, shaking as he repeats the words again and again. “I want normal. I want to be normal, Shiro, why can’t I be normal?”
This fic is just 9k of me bleeding my truth onto the screen, I'll be real (it should also be stated my self-destructive behaviors aren't physically harmful, that's artistic license). It hurt to write and it hurts to reread bc not much has changed in the years since I wrote it, but it's good, and I stand by the rawness of the narration. Dealing with a personality disorder and suicidal ideation (especially unmedicated and without therapy - bitches be rawdogging reality and I'm bitches) fucking blows. It's exhausting, and it makes you feel inhuman.
This scene especially knocked a few realizations loose for me, bc I don't remember writing it; my head just shut off, and then I looked at the page and went "ah. Oh dear. This feels like something I need to unpack, huh." And here we are, several years later, still unpacking lmao

what do you think akane and touya's life together would have been like if she had been able to go to sekoto peak?
Oof, so this is something I've thought a lot about, and maybe someday I'll even write an AU for it (assuming I ever finish the fic I'm working on now).
In an idealistic world, what would probably be the most mentally healthy thing for them to do would be to give up on their dream of becoming heroes. Touya could let go of seeking his father's approval, and channel his rage and pain into art, something that all of the world could see, that proves he exists and exists for a reason. And while Akane isn't good with people in any universe, she could use her self sacrificing and protective instincts (what Dabi calls her tendency to take in broken things, like himself) to work in animal rescue in some capacity, maybe even training service dogs.
But, even in a world where Touya lived, neither of them are ever in the best mental state due to everything they've been through, and both of them are too stubborn and determined to give up on their goals once they've set them. Touya would still want to prove himself, and Akane would still want to find out what actually happened to her mom. (Spoilers for my own fanfic because it'll be a long time before I get there so whatever, but it's All For One related, and her mom was basically involved in a situation similar to some of the plot in the Vigilantes manga. And AFO also stole her quirk and put it in a Nomu, so that'll be fun once I get around to the Paranormal Liberation War arc)
I've got a lot of sort of disjointed thoughts on this though, so bear with me for a bit, lol. I think that in a world where he lived, she would almost not make it to him in time, but something would make her realize that despite what was going on with her family the same night, that she needed to go find him. She'd find him crying under the tree and either the area under his eyes would have already caught fire, or his whole body would have just erupted into flames. She'd get there, see him, grab him, and dive into the water he had tried to get to on his own. He'd still suffer from some rough burns that he'd definitely have to go to the hospital for, but I think seeing her show up could have jolted him out of it enough for the flames to die down before the water douses them completely.
I also think given what almost happened to him, and the fact that she did lose her mom that same night, Akane would actually admit her feelings for him, and tell him she loved him. Which, while it wouldn't fix things for Touya, it would maybe help him heal and realize that he shouldn't have to fight for Endeavor's love/attention so much.
That event would scare both of them enough that they'd start trying to reevaluate their training techniques, and since Enji only ever taught Touya how to burn, they'd make it a priority to try to figure out how to turn down Touya's flames in case something like that happened again. Maybe even going to Rei, Fuyumi, and Natsuo for tips given their ice quirks. (Also maybe discovering Touya's latent ice quirk sooner? We still don't really know what's going on with that in the manga, so we'll see.)
Akane would probably be able to convince him that he should look into support gear to help him stay cool and not burn himself as much (not really sure if there is support gear that could help that, but fuck it, it's a fanfic), that unlike what his father thinks, it doesn't make Touya any lesser for needing it, it's just that others have an unfair advantage.
With Touya not dying, I think Rei would have improved a lot faster in the hospital, and given how apologizing to his mom is one of the first things Touya thinks of when waking up after his coma in the manga, I think they'd write to her/go visit her a lot more. Touya and Rei could start having more honest conversations about their life at Akane's urging since she never got to have that relationship with her own mom. And because of that, I think Touya would realize how much of a monster his father is sooner, even if deep down he still craves that approval, he'd see how Enji's behavior isn't ok and none of them ever deserved what they went through. Which would make Akane and Touya try to make looking out for Shoto a priority. Even if there is still a bit of that jealousy there, Touya would be able to see past it and see how much pain Shoto was in.
Akane would probably try to reach out to someone, maybe even All Might since Endeavor hates him so much, to tell them about what Endeavor was putting his children and wife through. I'm honestly not sure if that would result in the kids being taken away from him (I do think the HPSC and the courts would just ignore any evidence of abuse though) or Endeavor changing at all. But maybe All Might would start doing wellness checks on the Todoroki's at least.
Akane and Touya would still probably go to U.A. and similar to the rooftop trio, they'd want to follow through on their promise to start a hero agency of their own together. With Touya learning to want to be a hero for himself and his family along the way, instead of chasing the Number One spot and status like his father.
Akane's father would still die her first year at school, and she'd probably still see Vlad King as a mentor figure, whether she ended up in 1A or 1B. So her experience there would be a bit similar to what it already is in some ways. Though instead of living in a U.A. dorm set up after her father's death, I can see Fuyumi and Touya petitioning their parents for her to live with them, and for her to share a room with Fuyumi.
I can see both of them being highly critical of hero society as a whole once they become Pros, maybe not enough to join the League or anything like that, but enough to try to change things from the inside, at least for a while. Ultimately I'm not sure where that would put them by the time we get to current events in the manga, but those are some of the basic ideas I have.
There would still be a lot of difficult times for them, sleepless nights, some bouts of suicidal ideation, tough battles, and that sort of thing, but they would absolutely be happier. They'd definitely be one of those insufferably cute couples that would burn the world for each other. Even if they are heroes, that still doesn't make them the best morally in some situations, and they'll always choose each other first before anything else, even at the cost of innocent lives.

ENJI FOR THE ASK THING
-How I feel about this character:
MY FAVOURITE. I love him, along with All Might, but I also want to strangle him regularly <3
-All the people I ship romantically with this character:
-All Might: Enji's extreme(ly funny) obsession with All Might is what arguably made me ship it. Most of his decisions in adult life have been centred one way or another around All Might, and I can't get over that fact. While there's next to no setting that I wouldn't ship them in, my other favourite is a villain!AM AU. I have many feelings about this ship in general but you and everyone else who made the regrettable decision of following already knows that 💀
-Inko: My guilty pleasure ship, for comedy and drama. There's something enticing about a guy like Endeavor, who's otherwise got such a fat stick up his ass, having an extramarital affair with the MC's civilian mother, who's also married to someone else. The scandalousness of it is *chef's kiss*. It's also intertwined with the crack headcanon about Izuku being Endeavor's love child that I really like, as well.
-Rei: more interesting to me in fanon than in canon, simply because she's barely developed as a character in canon :/ Idk whoever came up with the idea of Rei being secretly obsessed with Enji, but what a concept
-Mirko: two very hot-blooded characters, and Mirko wouldn't have any of Enji's shit 👌
-Aizawa: Shoto would DIE. He's also unlikely to have any of Endeavor's shit.
I generally ship Enji with many and more characters than are listed here, though less romantically and more for reasons like "I like the idea of it in a certain scenario" (like Burnin) or "I simply respect the chemistry"... or for dark fics.
-In an OT3 with Toshi and Rei. Started off as a crack-ship, but I'm now actually, genuinely, honest to god, unironically shipping it. 💀 Hear me out... If this polycule had happened, AFO would simply not have stood a chance. Just the combined power of All Might and Endeavor, united, and with Rei as the mediator... They'd be unstoppable.
-My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Hawks. Enji has a rather... difficult personality, which makes me think he wouldn't have many friends in the first place. Hawks is not just willing to put up with him because he's his biggest fan but he also knows how to either calm his temper, and, just as easily, how to push his buttons. The friendship between them is rather underrated, imo.
All Might. In canon-divergence/AU settings, I can see them having an interesting dynamic when not genuinely hostile. Read: Enji being a tsundere grump and constantly protesting AM's sunshine personality while generally agreeing on work ethics and still hanging out with him.
Untenmaru, Endeavor's chauffeur. He looks like he takes none of his shit either and there's mutual respect between them.
(Basically any character that knows how to hold their own against Enji's gruff personality make for a great dynamic with him.)
-My unpopular opinion about this character:
His atonement arc feels kinda disingenuous. What I'm referring to specifically is that the cause that made him truly start thinking about what he's done to his family for the first time in his miserable life was most definitely only extrinsic and not due to any sudden gained wisdom on his part... Enji's an idiot. Would he have given his treatment of his family a second thought 1) had he somehow managed to surpass All Might on his own terms, or 2) had All Might not been forced to retire suddenly? I can't say I'm convinced that he would have, and that's what's bothering me about his big heel-face turn.
I actually like his pre-All Might's retirement persona at least as much as him post-S3. He was such an asshole but extremely amusing to watch, especially his interactions with AM. He's generally fun to put through a meat-grinder though lmao
-One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
Won't happen and also OOC, but he should stop keeping looking at Dabi like there's someone in there that he can still save, and start treating him like the danger that he is and put him out of commission... Permanently.
I'm convinced that if All Might and Endeavor had just had a better relationship with each other overall, much of what happened in the series could've been avoided entirely. But alas... both of them are kinda to blame for that, and things can never be that easy... right?
Give me a character; and I'll break their ass down

lets get controversial! For the character bingo flamey beard man, Endeavor himself!
whoops
Tumblr media
so i don’t like him. i think his redemption arc could’ve worked in another world, and i haven’t caught up on s6 yet so i don’t know exactly what he’s like at the moment, but…yeah no.
i don’t think i have to rehash all the todoroki kids’ childhoods and why that’s baaaad. we all know. i absolutely hate him for what he did to rei—talking about the mental hospital, specifically. the stuff that led to it, sure, but mostly the fact that he put her there not because she needed help (she did), but because she hurt his Precious Creation. and just leaves her there. for over a decade. no.
also, he says he wants to be a better dad and then never really does it. and look, if he was trying, he would be allowed to make mistakes. i would love to see that kind of messy complicated relationship. but i don’t, really? it feels very tell-y. everyone Says he’s trying and Says they’re starting to forgive him, but all i see is him texting shouto repeatedly and getting no response and being very angry about it (after he had to get his number from fuyumi, btw. nice boundary crossing and harassment, dude, very making amends of you. i wonder WHY your fifteen year old kid went no-contact).
i also don’t like how he acts with other people just like, in general. i’m not sure if i actually think he has a god complex but he definitely does not give off “listens to others” vibes. but he is a Good Hero, which is a very interesting. thing. to me. is duality the word?
so yeah tldr i’m not a fan but i do think dabi traumatizing his dad back is VERY funny. one time in a fic i had shouto murder him bc i thought it would be fun. i know there’s probably fics out there that give him an actually good redemption arc and that’s awesome but i do not want to read them.
god i do love shouto’s reaction to his making amends, though, even though i feel like it’s unearned. the scene where he fights the nomu and after it’s done shouto just…crouches down on the floor? idk what emotion he’s portraying but i Feel It. and the whole mess of “i hate him but he is the best person to teach me what i need to know.” and the growth of “you can train me but it’s on MY terms now.” hell yeah. while i’m on the subject i actually love all the todoroki kids’ reactions bc they’re all so different and they all make sense. i’m p sure i’m interpreting the “holds their family together” square wrong but i am. i am hugging all of the siblings + rei. and kicking endeavor into the street.
OH ONE MORE THING: i do think he’s a very interesting parallel to bakugou especially since he’s a top hero. he’s a much better hero than bakugou is, at least in the beginning, but he’s a far worse person with a worse redemption arc. i think he serves as a good warning for him. very cool
