#i spent twenty minutes reading snippets of a shinsou time travel au

What’s the old WIP you found?? If you feel like sharing, of course 😊

omg I do feel like sharing :D

The fic was called 'follow your dreams down,' and yes that's a Springsteen lyric, and yes it's "No Surrender," which means that erasermic was somehow involved 😭 It was kind of intended to be an exploration of how Aizawa, Mic, and even Midnight processed Shirakumo's death while they were at UA (which is to say: Very Differently), but oh my gosh what little I wrote is just. Really Sad. Like, here's a snippet but it's a bummer, and even though the fic had a happy-ish ending, obv there's no real 'happy ending' for a story like that.

(I have a habit of accidentally abandoning wips that get too heavy just because I always end up choosing to work on more lighthearted stories instead (for example, the semi-anonymous Star Wars au has a sequel, but it's unfinished because it was Sad. For some reason Present Mic can never have a good time in my sci fi aus??) In this case, I think another UA-era fic took over for 'follow your dreams down' because it's way happier and therefore less emotionally taxing to work on lol. Shirakumo gets me every single time. I cried about him like two days ago because I was flipping through Vigilantes to check a tiny detail. EVERY TIME.)
