Shoto Todoroki x Fem!Reader

Just a lil’ thing of karaoke with 1-A!

Note: Uses of Izuku+Uraraka and Denki+Jiro ships! For the sake of the story, Reader's quirk has to do with singing.

Quirk: Siren Drawbacks: Headaches and sore throat if overused

Essentially she can control people with her voice, similar to a Siren. Her voice lures people in when she wants to, and can even brainwash them in a sense as long as she's singing, similar to the way Shinso only brainwashes when he wants. Because of her quirk, she's grown to love singing; she was in elementary choir, her middle school's choir, and helped Jiro with singing in their concert.

If you guys want, I'd happily refine said quirk and turn it into a full thing (maybe even start my first series with said quirk?)

NOTICE: Please refrain from copying the quirk concept!

・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・

🐞The attending classmates are you, Shoto, Mina, Yaomomo, Ejiro, Izuku, Ochako, Denki, Kyoka, and Katsuki 

🐞 Katsuki is so against going to do karaoke with you guys, claiming he needs to go to bed early

🐞”Oh c'mon, you're only staying home because you know karaoke is one of the things you're bad at.” You'd challenge Katsuki. “The hell? Of course not! What time we goin’ to the damn karaoke place?”

🐞Yaomomo pays for everyone, food, and drinks purely for the sake of wanting to treat her friends

🐞Izuku and Ochako would totally sing most of their songs together since they're so lovey-dovey It actually hurts, but their most memorable song is totally ‘A Whole New World’ from ‘Aladdin’

🐞Kiri and Mina are total icons with music, but I can see them singing two pretty dang memorable song, ‘Sunroof’ by ‘Nicky your, and Dazy’

🐞Katsuki is single, but he's got his best friend Eijrio, even if it was against Katsuki’s wishes, I can see them singing ‘You're Gonna Go Far Kid’ by ‘The Offspring’. He may have denied having fun, but you could absolutely see him jamming out, even got photo evidence of his trademark smik when he's happy

🐞Kyoka and Denki are so stupid sweet, it's annoying. They TOTALLY sing ‘Electric Love’ by ‘BØRNS’. I KNOW, I KNOW it's predictable and kinda basic but you can't rip this HC out of my arms no matter how badly you want to

🐞I can see you and Shoto singing something from 'The Neighborhood', and he does so good without knowing all the words, it's actually a little upsetting. I could see it being memorable if you both sang ‘Sweater Weather’, but instead of the original, you sang a cover by ‘Kurt Hugo Schneider, and Alyson Stoner’

🐞There's of course your couples singing together, but then everyone gets to do their own thing as well

🐞You can fight me on this, but Jiro sang ‘I Kissed a Girl’ by ‘Katy Perry’. This may or may not have been directed at you (teehee)

🐞 Yaomomo SLAYED ‘Lovely’ by ‘Billie Eilish and Khalid’, and you can't change my mind. You also can't change my mind that this is her favorite song

🐞Kiri and Denki started singing ‘California Gurls’ by ‘Katy Perry’ then everyone, besides Katsuki, joined. He sat back recording you idiots sing loudly. Shoto didn't know any words but he was trying his hardest because you were having so much fun(🥲)

🐞Another song that you and Shoto sang together since he didn't want to go alone, was something NOBODY in that room expected him to know all the words to; ‘Teenage Dream’ by ‘Stephan Dawes’

🐞Of course everyone had memorable songs they sang, but there were a few especially memorable parts in each song.

🐞You and Shoto had the most memorable moment out of everyone, and you'd hold onto the special moment until you died

 “Me in my little high waisted shorts, oh.” “You know what I think about, and what I think about. One love, two mouths, one love, one house. No shirt, no blouse, just us to find out. Nothing I wouldn't want to tell you about, no.” “‘Cuz it's too cold for you here, and now, so let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater.”

Apparently Mina recorded it and planned to never delete it

🐞Izuku and Ochako had an incredibly memorable part while signing, which had to be the towards the end. He was shaking while singing while Ochako was clearly having a great time

“Don't you dare close your eyes.” “A hundred thousand things to see.” “Hold your breath, it gets better.” “I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far, I can't go back to where I used to be.” “A whole new world, every turn a surprise, with new horizons to pursue.” “Every moment, red-letter,” “I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare, let me share this whole new world with you.”

Mina also got their entire singing on video as well, and when Deku found out, he was a blushing mess

🐞Kirishima and Mina were in their own little world while they sang Sunroof. Their smiles were so genuine and silly it's hard to forget when they sang the beginning of the song

“I got my head out the sunroof, I'm blasting our favorite tunes. I've only got one thing on my mind, you got me stuck on the thought of you! You makin’ me feel brand new, you're more than a sunshine in my eyes. You got those pretty eyes In your head, and you know it. You got me dancin’ in my bed so let me show it!”

They sang the entire song together, and even though they didn't sing the best, the memory of them being so undeniably happy is hard to forget

🐞Jiro and Denki were supposed to sing together, but for the most part Jiro sang alone while Denki joined for the chorus and stared at her with unfiltered adoration in his eyes. Especially when Jiro sang just before the chorus and changed ‘her’ to him throughout the song 

“Rushing through me. Feel your energy rushing through me. Feel your energy rushing through me.” “Baby you're like lightning in a bottle, I can't let you go now that I got it, and all I need is to be struck by your electric love!”

When Jiro hit that final high note, all Kaminari could focus on was his beautiful girlfriend doing her favorite thing; singing

🐞You can't convince me otherwise that Mina and you didn't destroy on some kind of rap song because that's what you both sing when together. You both had decided on ‘Best Friend’ by ‘Saweetie and Doja Cat’, in reality, because of how BADLY you guys slayed this, the whole song was memorable

(I highly reccomend you listen to this song while reading! It makes it so much better)

“That my best friend, she a real bad bitch. Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'. On the dance floor, she had two-three drinks. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in.” “That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch. Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft, In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in. Beep-beep, is that my bestie in a Tessie? Fresh blow out, skin on tan, ooh, she ready.” “Bitch, you look goodt, with a T at the end I'ma hype her every time, that my motherfuckin' friend!" “She been down since the jellies and the Volvos, got me steppin' out that Jeep, got Manolo's. When we pull up to the scene, they be filled with jealousy. If a bitch get finicky, she gon' bring that energy.” “Pop, pop, pop!” “I hit her phone with the tea, like, ‘Bitch, guess what?’ All the rich ass boys wanna fuck on us! All this ass sittin' up, you can look, don't touch. In our bag, bust some bands every time we link up!” “That my best friend, she a real bad bitch. Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'. On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in." “That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch. Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft, In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in.” “That my best friend, if you need a freak I ain't dumb, but motherfucker, she my Tweedledee. If she ride for me, she 'on't need a key. If you sideways, she'll straighten you if need to be, and she so bad that I just can't take that bitch nowhere. She off her fifth shot, said, ‘Mmm-mmm, don't go there’. Bitch, break her back, she protect and attack. Get that strap like them buckle, foot on neck, give no air. Whole world wanna be us, and my main bitch, she my day-one. On my way, bitch, let you get drunk. Let's celebrate 'cause we the baddest in the club!” “That my best friend, she a real bad bitch. Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'. On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in.” “That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch, drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft. In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip. Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in!” “Ha, best friend, you the baddest and you know it. Uh-oh, girl, I think our booty growin'! Fuck it up in the mirror, hit them poses, best friend, damn, you motherfuckin' glowin'. Best friend, damn, your wrist look like it's frozen. Uh-oh, girl, I think our booty growin'. Fuck it up in the mirror, hit them poses. Best friend, you my motherfuckin' soulmate”

It's safe to say Deku was beyond shocked at the song's vulgar language, because music like this isn't something he listens to often. Shoto was confused on so many levels, what did you mean when you said ‘your wrist looks like it's frozen’? Why were so many words left unfinished, like, why not say ‘dont’, instead of ‘ont’? What does ‘ont’ even mean? Eijiro was afraid you were stealing his girlfriend, and would be lying if he said he wasn't at least a little genuinely worried. Katsuki was grumbling the entire time because of the ‘stupid’ song, even though he's listened to Doja Cat multiple times. Jiro cheered you both on while making it look like she was throwing money, Denki was shocked you knew all the words of all people, and finally, Momo and Ochako sat giggling and a little shocked

🐞Everyone had such a good time, but nothing could beat the excitement you girls had while singing ‘Hot N Cold’ by ‘Katy Perry’. Best part was definitely the chorus at the end of the song

“Someone, call the doctor, got a case of love bipolar! Stuck on a rollercoaster, can't get off this ride! You change your mind, like a girl changes clothes. ‘Cause you're hot, then you're cold! You're yes, then you're no! You're in, then you're out! You're up, then you're down! You're wrong when it's right, it's black and it's white. We fight, we break up, we kiss, we make up!”

Shoto was confused about the song, once again, but he loved that you seemed so happy. Kirishima being the loving boyfriend he is, recorded you all having a blast. Katsuki may or may not have nodded along to the song because he knew all the words, but you wouldn't catch him dead admitting that

Yandere Imposter: Bakugo Katsuki

Now he's an imposter I can expect not knowing about his feelings

Like when all is said and done his reasoning for keeping you alive has you baffled

Because of his abrasive and bombastic anger knowing what's going through his head is truly a shot in the dark

And his confusing anger coupled with his genuine smarts makes him an even better imposter

During meetings it suits him best to play detective

If he isn't his angry defense is usually suspected more

When he's playing crewmate he's either assistant in security or demolitions expert

I can honestly see him working with Kirishima or even Deku

For Kirishima to be in on it they can play their natural chemistry off as well established trust as they slice and dice behind the scenes

With Deku I think the absolute hatred is a great distraction as everyone writes off their potential to be imposters

It is known that they work great together…when their on the same page

For Bakugo's reasons it can stem from personal grudge, mercenary work, or just pure and absolute boredom

He's just that type of person really

I wouldn't expect him to be an alien but it wouldn't be insane if he hung around aliens as some kind of bounty hunter

Occupation aside I can see him falling in love with just about anyone

Like you can match his fire, be a friendly socialite, or even if you're quiet and meek

It just takes one thing for him to realize he's falling in love

Maybe it's how you do your hair

Or the way you use his first name completely oblivious to the cultural implications

Or even the way you yell right back at him when you felt like he crossed a line

For you to realize he's untruthful in any regard there will have to be a moment of weakness

Like he's a little too angry to notice the blood staining his suit

Or being a little off in his timing

Or even getting top personal about his killings:

Katsuki Bakugo had a mission. A mission that would have been easy for him if you weren't there. Thankfully his partner wasn't stiffy and instead encouraged him to enact his desires. Grimacing to himself he thought of their stupid go-lucky face and stomped a little harder to fake his task with wires. 🎵"Johnny don't leave me you said you'd love me forever-"🎵 Jiro Kyoka. Radiologist and assistant to technology head. He typically didn't have a problem with the music junkie but what she said last meeting was really out of pocket. "Were you really in electrical (Y/n)?" He sabotaged in there knowing full well where his annoying darling…attachment was. "I was! I was standing right next to you!" Watching a single vote pop up under your name it was obvious who it was from. You rightfully were fuming and for once Katsuki was sat down to listen; before excusing himself to 'complete his task'. Crouching near an open panel continuing to hum Jiro was absolutely oblivious to his presence until he moved his arms to cross in front of him. "Oh, Bakugo-san! You surprised me. Need something?" "Yeah, you really think their the…imposter?" "Oh, that" Sighing she unhooked the ear bud previously stuck in her ear. "Yeah well it was just a bit of pettiness on my part." "…what?!" "Ah y'know they've been unplugging my speakers at night. Really messes with my morning routine and it was just a little payback is all." Casually fidgeting with the exposed support she missed the contorting face of the man behind her. "Are you serious?" "I mean…well yeah…I knew no one was actually gonna vote them…" She looked off thoughtfully once again missing the creeping that Bakugo Katsuki was doing. "M-maybe that was pretty messed up…I should go apologize…" "You think?" Gun drawn and the other hand zipping up the top part of his suit. Crimson eyes blazing in anger Jiro understood exactly what was happening. "W-w-wait i-i'm really sorry I didn't mean anything by it! I just wanted-" "You wanted to get them killed!" "No-no--" Moving swiftly he moved closer to her gun harshly pushing at her cheek. She began to cry, shakily attempting to move his hand back only encouraging him to press further into her. "YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN THEM KILLED FOR SOME STUPID REASON!" "Nwo pwease-!" "YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE LET ALONE BEG TO THEM!" He grabbed her head with his unoccupied hand bending down to slam it into the still open electrical panel. The charge quickly fried the flesh of her face moving throughout her body even as her contact with the panel was broken repeatedly as the imposter slammed her face against it. Katsuki remained unaffected by the violent volts of electricity for he had made motions to properly wear his space suit which had insulating properties unlike Jiro who like many on the ship only wore the bottom part as the upper part was tied around the waist. Continuing to slam her face he knew by the lack of struggle that she was dead; but he didn't stop. Battering the corpse got him thinking how he was going to say he found her and what he planned to do. It wouldn't be insane that he saw the dead crewmate near the wires and it would prove his innocence since he spoke with-" "…Katsuki…?" Immediately the fleshy bangs against metal stopped and the blonde wearing the orange suit looked up to see the one he did this for. Shocked and confused but putting the pieces together you began to turn to run to the nearest panic buttons. Faster than you could comprehend you were enraptured in the warm burly arms of the man you once called your friend. Before you could scream you felt a prick in your exposed neck before going limp in his arms. "I'm sick of you getting in my way." He easily tossed you over his shoulders before stomping his way to the dormitories.

______________________________________________________________

"You."

Bang!

"Can't."

Bang!

"Keep."

Bang!

"Me!"

Bang!

"In!"

Bang!

"Here!"

Bang!

He chuckled hearing your muffled tantrum from behind the door he had finished welding shut. Now his distraction was good and out of the way. Don't be deceived he adores his (Y/n) but he just can't have his significant other distracting him from his work, his pride. He'd sort you out later, get you to love him but for now he was going to clean up the gutter trash. "Trust me babe, I'll get to ya just let me do my job first." The sound of an emergency meeting rang. Perfect timing. Turning on the pager he had, he set it to two rings. Giving his partner the code red signal. What was code red? It was the code that meant that they weren't playing the stealth game anymore and now it was just do or die. The smirk on his face grew wider as he sped up to the meeting point. It was gonna be a massacre just the way he liked it and no distraction of his was going to stop it.

The Deer Boy, The Rain Woman, and The Ice Prince Part 5

One day Prince Gray left to the attend to business in another kingdom although he was worried about leaving so soon after his child was born but his wife assured him that they would be fine. At first all seemed well after he left but then one night after Princess Juvia had put Winter to sleep...

"Goodnight my precious I love you so much." Juvia said as she tucked her son into his cradle and kissed him goodnight.

"Your majesty he is the most beautiful child I have ever seen." Her hand maid Wendy said.

"Thank you Wendy but are you sure you want to fill in for the nurse until she recovers? Winter can be quite a handful."

"I don't mind and I love children. Don't worry I'll take good care of him."

"Very well, goodnight Wendy."

"Goodnight your majesty."

Juvia then retired to her bedchamber. She had just entered the room when suddenly a powerful wind blew the window open. She heard thunder and lighting then became horrified when she found herself face to face with Kyoka.

"Stepmother!" She gasped.

"So you remember me your highness."

"Why....Why have you come here?" Juvia asked trembling.

"You stole the life meant for my daughter but I have come to correct that matter!"

Juvia's eyes immediately looked toward the corridor that led to the royal nursery as the fear that her stepmother would harm her son crept into her heart.

"I beg you Stepmother please don't hurt my child."

"If I were you I would be more concerned about myself instead of some screaming brat!"

It all happened so fast. Poor Juvia didn't have time to react. Kyoka began to mercilessly beat and claw at the young princess while tearing her dress and pulling her hair. Once she lost consciousness Kyoka spirited Juvia away to a dark and forbidden mountain. When she came to her entire body ached in pain.

"Welcome to your new castle. I do hope you're not afraid of heights my dear." Kyoka laughed.

"When my husband learns of this he will come for me!"

"Oh you foolish girl your beloved husband won't even care you're gone because he will be so enamoured with my daughter!"

"I don't believe you!"

"Believe what you will but it's true."

"Is there nothing that will rid us of your evil?"

"The only thing capable of defeating me is pure and unselfish love. If your husband somehow finds you, takes you in his arms, and tells you he loves you then you shall all be free."

Then the evil woman disappeared in flames leaving Juvia alone. Juvia quickly got to her feet and desperately tried to find away down the mountain but it was too steep. She was trapped.

"Someone help!" She cried. "Please help!"

When Kyoka returned to the castle she dressed Seilah into Juvia's evening garments, placed her in her bed, and covered her face.

"Now remember Seilah do not take off this cover ever and if anyone asks you are gravely ill." Kyoka instructed.

"Yes Mother."

"And don't feed the child, you are barren and therefore cannot produce milk."

"But what if the child starves to death?"

"They will think it was a sudden illness. Now I must leave to attend to something, do not fail me."

Kyoka then disappeared. Wendy came in later carrying baby Winter.

"Good morning your highness. It's time to feed Winter."

But as Wendy brought Winter toward Seilah he started to cry. You see Winter had inherited some of his mother and grandmother's fairy abilities and he could sense that this was not his mother but an evil witch.

"What's the matter Winter?" Wendy asked him.

"I'm afraid I can't feed him today." Seilah said.

"Your highness you don't sound like yourself." Wendy gasped when she heard her croak like voice. "And why is your face covered?"

"I have become very ill and I do not wish to infect anyone else. Please take child and keep him away from me."

Wendy did as she was told. On that same day Gray returned but was upset to discover that the woman who he believed was his wife was not how he remembered her. She had be one haughty and mean, she never showed her face, and she didn't want Winter anywhere near her.

"I don't understand." He wondered to Lyon. "She was always so kind and she loves our child too deeply to demand that he's kept away from her."

"She is ill sire. She merely wishes to prevent your son from getting infected."

"But my son has been crying for three days! He's starving! With both the nurse and his mother ill how can he be fed?"

"I don't know."

"Call the royal physician at once!"

"I tried that already but he's disappeared."

"Disappeared? I don't understand, what the devil is going on here?!"

"She did tell me that she knew of a cure for herself but I wasn't sure if she was in her right mind when she told me this."

"What did she tell you?"

"That for her to get better she must eat the heart of a deer between the age of youth and adulthood. In other words a deer who would be twelve or thirteen in human years."

"The only dear I know for sure is that age is Romeo. Oh God you don't mean-"

"That's why I wanted to consult you first. She says she'll die without it."

"There must be some mistake. There must be."

Gray talked to the woman with the covered face and just like with Lyon she told him that she needed to eat the heart of deer between the age of youth and adulthood or she would die.

"Juvia are you aware of what you're saying?" Gray asked her. "You do know this means that we must kill your brother?"

"I'm sure he's willing to sacrifice himself if it means I will live." Seilah said.

Now Romeo heard the conversation with his enhanced animal hearing and raced toward Wendy.

"Wendy you have to help me!" He told her. "My sister claims that she needs to eat my heart to become well again but I know that's not true!"

"How can you be sure?"

"My sister would never hurt or kill me even to save her own life. Something is wrong. Oh Wendy please help me!"

Hearing this Wendy quickly hid Romeo and when Gray asked for him she told the prince that he had run away leading to a search for him. Later that night Wendy awoke to the sound of Winter laughing and cooing. Curious she went to the nursery where she found the baby being cradled and fed by Juvia.

"Your highness are you well again?" She asked.

But Juvia did not respond in fact she didn't even acknowledge that Wendy was there. She only continued to nurse and tend to Winter until he fell asleep then she tucked him into his cradle and disappeared. The same thing happened for several nights and whenever Wendy tried to talk to her or get her attention it did nothing. She also noticed that Juvia always had tears in her eyes and that she looked very weak. Like she was badly hurt and close to death. Confused and worried, Wendy requested a private conversation with Gray and she told him everything.

"So every night she comes into the nursery to take care of my son and then she just disappears?"

"Yes and she acts as if I'm not even there. She sees and speaks only to the child and even though I can see her I feel like she's not really there."

"Speak sensibly Wendy. Either it is the princess or not."

"I don't know how to explain it. She acts just as she was before she became ill. She is sweet, gentle, and kind, she holds Winter and treats him as if he was her most precious treasure."

"Then why does she return to being cruel in the morning?"

"I don't know but I'm very afraid your highness."

"You fear her?"

"No I fear for her. She looks so very sad and weak. Her eyes are always tear filled yet she seems too weak to cry. The only thing she appears to have enough strength to do is nurse Winter."

"I don't know what's going on here but I'm going to wait with you tonight and question her."

"Are you sure that she will speak to you?"

"No but I have to try."

"Please sire I pray that all will be well."
